Here's hoping all my friends in blogland that were affected by Sandy are safe. I'm glad to see some of you are blogging, but to those that aren't, my thoughts are sent your way! We're feeling Sandy a little here in Indiana. Huge cold front, lots of rain, and wind gusts up to 50 mph.
It looked like Sandy in my garage after the big sale on Saturday. It was quite a successful day and I plan on doing it again this spring, with the first signs of warm weather. Or maybe even this winter, if I ever get my house in a shape where I would want people to see it. I'm laughing because that will probably never happen.
The sale opened at 8. I said no early birds and I even posted a sign that said I wouldn't open the garage until 8, which meant there was a line of about 10 or 15 people waiting to get in as soon as my doors opened. It was like opening the doors to a department sale on Black Friday. I could not believe people. Elbow to elbow and kinda pushing each other to get to my stuff, while I heard squeals of delight, "her prices are so great!" I stood in the driveway and watched as people dug through my stuff and made piles on the driveway.
Thought I'd show some before pictures. There's really not much after, as most of it is gone. Which is why my main etsy shop is so sad looking. But, now I have even more money to buy more goodies!
folks wanted my chippy blue shelf and old rusty bar cart.
He added the "Hunting Camp & Lodge" and "Est. 2002," which was the year he purchased it. He added a clear coat to it when he was finished, so it will be weather resistant, because the white paint used to come off like crazy. Well, the clear coat brought some of the rust through, which really added character.
As for the other half of the sign - going to the scrap metal pile.
I went into crazy shopping mode this week and I have stocked up on a many new things. I have also pulled some stuff from my personal collection. So, if you saw me last weekend - there will be plenty of new stuff!
Or until it's all gone.
Saturday was my first experience as a vendor during a large festival that is oriented around crafts, home goods, and the best part - antiques and vintage goodies galore. I was so graciously invited to join the wonderful group at the US 40 Livery Stable. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience and I'm really looking forward to this weekend.
The barn itself and the actual Covered Bridge Festival didn't open until 10am, but I was setting up outside the barn, so I arrived at 9, just in time to start catching the traffic headed in to the festival. Literally as soon as we were unloaded (THANKS MOM FOR HELPING!) and barely unpacking things onto the tables, cars full of people were stopping in. In fact 2 wonderful ladies even finished helping us unpack and spent a great deal of money. I think they were just more interested in being the first people to see some of my items, but nonetheless, I was grateful for any little bit of help.
also isn't the barn the mostly lovely chippy green??
beautiful old farm house that is on the property.
So a good majority of this is gone. And did I mention that I only set up Saturday? I was unable to set up Sunday due to severe weather. Thunderstorms and wind gusts up to 35 mph. It would've been a miserable time. Now I've got to start tagging a lot more items so that I have enough stuff to last 2 days next weekend. The weather is looking perfect - sunny and 60s. Cool, crisp, I'll take it.
Please be warned - these photos were taken in my garage. I've been doing all my prep here for the last 3 weeks. I really can't wait to park in here again. Its getting pretty cold out at night. Thank goodness for automatic start on my truck, so I don't have to go out to start it in the morning.
chalkboard paint. I think it brings them to the now.
I feel like the list of things I need to do keeps getting longer the closer I get to Saturday. Can't wait for it to get here already!
Halloween hasn't even arrived, but it seems as though all the big box stores are already done with it, minus the candy. My local big box store already has their entire garden center, or what used to be a garden center, filled to the brim with cheap Christmas decor. I've also noticed that there is an aisle devoted to the specialty ingredients you may need to cook your Thanksgiving feast. Apparently it's never to early to stock up on this. So, if that's the case, I just listed a couple of holiday items in my ebay store. These were part of the stuff I got from the great auction this past weekend that I forgot to photograph before I tagged it and packed it for my first experience as a vendor.
Extra Large Santa & Tree. Both 8 in or taller.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS? I think I've covered all the major holidays for the rest of the year in the last 2 days.
I hit up one of my local thrift stores after work today that I haven't been to in quite awhile. Apparently they decorate for every holiday. And by decorate, I mean hoard years worth of holiday decor and dump it on top of the shelves and clothing racks. What was nice about it, was that I didn't have to dig for anything. I found a few great Halloween items. They're available in my ebay store now!
Some vintage Trick or Treat pumpkins.
bags of 40, plus 32 loose.
Much cuter with the raffia ribbon?
Great finds for a Tuesday, no? Anyone else with great Halloween finds?
**REMINDER: Melissa's Antiques will be live and in person the 2 weekends during theCovered Bridge Festival. I will be a vendor at the US 40 Livery Stable. It is located at 4870 US 40 E, Brazil, IN 47834. You can come see me for 4 full days -- October 13-14 and 20-21. I will be there from early morning until sundown! Please stop by and say hello! While you're at it -- there will be plenty more vendors inside and out!


Are Timeshare Points, Credits Or Whatever You Call It Making Timeshare Exchanging More Difficult for Interval Owners?
This is our personal opinion based on our experiences with owning 3 deeded timeshare weeks.
The original concept of vacation timeshare ownership is owning specific deeded timeshare vacation property. This is what we own – specific weeks at 5 star resorts. We have owned three timeshare properties for 13 years and have never had a problem exchanging into other 5 star resorts. The vacations we've had through our exchanges have been extremely good and we're always looking forward to the next one.
All our deeded vacation weeks were purchased for literally pennies on the dollar through the resale market. As members of (II) Interval International exchange network, we are well-satisfied.
In 2013, while vacationing at two timeshare resorts, we noticed something unusual. Oftentimes while sitting in the lobby area of our resort, we update our Timesharefun.com website. It gives us a flavor of the timeshare people coming and going in the check-in area.
It appeared that more and more timeshare owners were checking in during the middle of the week or on the weekend and staying for 2-3 days rather than the whole week as on the typical 7 day vacation with which we are familiar.
It also seemed that as these people were checking in, they were waiting longer and longer to register because the rooms were not ready. Think about it. Instead of one timeshare owner family staying for 7 days, you have maybe 2-3 timeshare owners with points staying shorter terms, meaning more housekeeping needed. Don't forget, if you own points or credits, you still have to pay annual maintenance fees.
This may be the downfall of the original concept of timeshare where you exchange a 7 day for a 7 day vacation somewhere else. Here's an example.
If you look in your timeshare resorts directory, you will find many resorts affiliated with both the Interval Exchange system and the RCI system. Think about it. You own a deeded Interval week and wish to exchange to a resort that is dual affiliated and with the RCI resort. RCI's system is points. An RCI customer wants to exchange into one of the RCI resorts and only wants to use 3 days during the middle of the week. Another RCI member wishes to use 4 days on the week-end starting on Friday night. The whole week is used up by 2 or 3 different timeshare owners who use points.
Meanwhile, you own an Interval exchange week and wish to exchange into one of these dual-affiliated resorts. It takes longer and longer for Interval International to find a week for us because we wish to use a full week.
That's where we find the downfall of timeshare as originally developed, particularly if you own a 7 day deeded vacation week.
We do not like the points or credit system. It seems to us that the point system is a giant money sucking machine for the corporations that started that concept.
Instead of selling 52 weeks of deeded timeshare property, these corporations are selling unlimited points out of thin air. What do they actually own? Our II weeks are deeded and recorded as real estate instead of as points.

The Lost Last Supper
by Yale University Press
in Art & Architecture
When you hear the word inquisition, you think of Spain, heretics in strange tall pointed hats, the stake, forced confessions, horrifying images that make the words Holy Inquisition a cruel oxymoron. It is less well known that there were also inquisitors in Venice who could make life rather difficult for people. In the Accademia, there is an enormous painting by Paolo Veronese that was once the subject of an interrogation of the painter by three Venetian inquisitors. And because the Inquisition, like the Gestapo and the Stasi, put everything in writing, we know what was asked and answered that day, July 18, 1573. Veronese was then forty-five years old and at the height of his fame. What was the case against him? The painter had been commissioned by the Dominicans to make a particularly large painting for the refectory of their monastery, which was to depict the Last Supper. He must have enjoyed himself, as it is a gigantic canvas with his familiar majestic and colourful figures at a table upon and around which all kinds of things are happening.
One of the privileges of painters is that they can dream up a sky. We do not know what kind of weather it was on the day he devised that sky, but the heaven we see through the three large openings of the magnificent building in which he had the banquet take place was a glorious, vibrant expanse of radiant blue, with greyish, gold-rimmed clouds moving across, lending its own relief to the architectural linearity of the classical buildings in the background, which were modern at the time. I have tried to count the people who were present at the feast, dwarves, halberdiers, servants, the high and mighty, hangers-on, men in turbans, black men, but it is impossible. There were at least fifty of them, not including the sculpted angels perched on the round arches of those openings, and the people through the windows and on the landings and the balconies of the adjacent buildings. The table is standing in an open room, which is supported by two lots of six Corinthian columns, everything indicates luxury and wealth. Canary yellow, scarlet, that is how the guests – apparently all men – have dressed themselves, vivid colours that fit well with their rhetorical postures. Surrounded by what must have been a huge noise, Jesus sits with his faithful disciples almost off to one side, as if he is not actually a part of it, and yet his charisma makes him the secret and intimate centre of what seems to be a big and chaotic party. It is peaceful where he is sitting. He is young, is talking to a young man beside him, there is no way of knowing what he is saying at that moment, this is not revealed until later. Peter cuts the meat and passes it to the other side of the table, there is a man with a bloody nose, and a dog is also in attendance, Judas of course, the wealthy host, who was called Simon, a few halberdiers, German guests (in those days they were considered as Protestants and therefore heretics) and, naturally, the domestic staff.
Hardly anyone at the table is looking at Jesus, in the left corner of the painting men in turbans appear to be climbing up the wall, left and right there is a staircase descending, a black boy in salmon-pink silk is pouring something from a jug, some of the men appear not to be joining in with the party, but the people in that palatial room are eating and drinking as if there is no tomorrow, you could almost forget this is a sacred moment that, two thousand years later, will still be repeated every day all over the world in every Holy Mass, and that was exactly what bothered the Inquisition, and so Veronese had to appear before the Holy Tribunal to explain himself. The painter does not seem too impressed, his answers are brief, laconic. They ask if he knows why he was summoned, and he says that he thinks so. He addresses them politely as "Most Illustrious Lordships", but seems to be pulling their legs a little. That dog, what is the dog doing there, a dog in the vicinity of Jesus, this is surely blasphemy? He should have painted Mary Magdalene there, should he not? Yes, but he did not think she would look right in that spot. And that bloody nose? That's not fitting, is it? Yes, but it was intended as a servant who had had an accident. And what about that man there, the one who looks so German, armed with a halberd? That would take some time to explain. Please answer!
You see, we painters are accustomed to taking the same liberties as poets and madmen, and so I painted those two halberdiers, one eating and the other drinking at the foot of the stairs, yes, but so that they can immediately be of service, because I believe that a man as wealthy as the host would have had such servants. And that fellow who looks like a court jester, with a parrot on his fist, what is he doing there?
He is there for decoration, as is customary.
And who is sitting at the Lord's table?
The twelve Apostles.
What is Saint Peter doing, the first one sitting there?
He is carving the lamb into portions for the whole table.
And the man beside him?
He is holding up his plate.
And the next one?
He is picking his teeth with a fork.
Who do you think was actually present?
I believe there was only Christ and his apostles, but if there is any space remaining in a painting then I fill it with figures of my own invention.
So did someone commission you to include Germans and jesters and people of that sort?
No, Sirs, but I saw that I had lots of space, so I could add a great deal.
The conversation continues like this for a while, and of course he has to confess that this is not a worthy company for such a holy event, as he already knows what the verdict will be: within three months the canvas must be painted over, the dog and the bloody nose and the tooth-picker, along with the Germans, must be removed – but the painter has already come up with a plan, with the permission of the Dominicans, who want to keep the painting as it is. He barely changes the painting at all, he just gives it a different name, and that is what it is still called today in the Accademia: Feast in the House of Levi, and if paintings were allowed to have a subtitle, in this case it might be: or, Hoodwinking the Inquisition.

Belle Grove and The Civil War
From the time of the first purchase in 1670 to the present, Belle Grove Plantation would see many wars come and go. But none would make as big of an impact as the American Civil War.
In December, 1860, South Carolina seceded from the Union. In January, 1861, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana seceded from the Union. In February, 1861 Texas would seceded from the Union. It was also in February, 1861 that these states would come together in Montgomery, Alabama to adopt a Provisional Constitution and declare themselves the Confederate States of American. They would also elect Jefferson Davis as Provisional President and Alexander Stephens as Provisional Vice President. They would be inaugurated President and Vice President of the Confederate States of America on February 18th, 1861. Abraham Lincoln would be inaugurated on March 4, 1861as President of the United States of America.
On April 12, 1861 at about 4:30am, South Carolina militia would fire the opening shots of the Civil War on Fort Sumter. After thirty-four hours, the Union would surrender Fort Sumter. Just a couple days later, President Lincoln would call up 75,000 volunteers to put down the insurrection. This was followed by several more Southern states seceding from the Union. The first would be Virginia on April 17, 1861. An important note, Virginia had voted on this bill on April 4, 1861 and had voted it down. In May, 1861, Arkansas and Tennessee would secede. On May 20, 1861, North Carolina was the last Southern state to secede. It was also on this date that the Confederate Capital was voted to be moved from Montgomery, Alabama to Richmond, Virginia.
Just four slave states remain Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. All voted down the secession and would remain neutral throughout the war. These states would become "buffer states" between the North and South. While they were considered neutral, they did provide troops to the Confederate forces.
In 1861, Belle Grove was owned by Carolinus Turner. He was a wealthy farmer with 92 slaves. At 48, he had a young family with wife, Susan, 34, Caroline "Carrie", 12, Anna, 9, George, 8, Susan, 6, and Alice, 5. The Turner's also had a live-in teacher, Mary Morrison, 23. His assets were listed in the 1860 Federal Census as being $272,500.00 in property. This would drastically change by the end of the war.
Plantations around Port Royal and Port Conway
The area around Belle Grove Plantation would become very important during the Civil War. On the east side of the Rappahannock River, there were six plantations, Natizco, Woodlawn, Oak Brow, Walsingham, Belle Grove and Millbank that lined the river. On the west side of the Rappannock, there were three plantations, Camden, Gaymont (known as Rose Hill today) and Hazelwood, along with the port city of Port Royal. While these plantations were productive farms, it was the port of Port Royal and its location on the Rappahannock River that would be its greatest asset.
The Rappahannock River in most areas is quite wide, but here between Port Royal and Port Conway, the river narrows, making it an ideal location for crossing for main road ways that had been in use since the late 1600s. Port Royal and Port Conway are also just 20 miles from Fredericksburg.
At the start of the war in 1861, the residents around this area would join the Confederate cause. Most men would enlist with the 9th Virginia Cavalry, the 47th Virginia Infantry or the Caroline Light Artillery. In the 47th Virginia Infantry, they would have been part of Company E and would have been called Port Royal Guards. They would report to Fredericksburg in June, 1861. The Caroline Light Artillery formed in July, 1861 and the 9th Virginia Cavalry would form in January, 1862. Most of these men would fight just within 75 miles of their homes.
47th Virginia Infantry
Between April, 1862 and August, 1862, Union Forces occupied Fredericksburg. It was in August that Acting Master Nelson Provost, commander of the steamer USS Anacostia conducted a two day expedition from Fredericksburg to Port Royal. He reported to General Ambrose Burnside that he and his crew, along with 25 men of the 9th New York Infantry had progressed down the river towards Port Royal because of reports of communications coming from Port Royal Confederates to both Baltimore and Richmond.
General Ambrose Burnside
In his report, informants had told of new recruits for the Confederate Army had been ferried across the river from Port Conway to Port Royal with supplies. They would then make their way to Richmond. The location of this ferry was part of Belle Grove Plantation once again. At the time, it would have been part of Port Conway, the town that Captain Francis Conway established in 1878, but was reincorporated back into Belle Grove, from where it came by Carolinus Turner as he purchased the half acre lots.
Port Conway, Virginia
Ferry House and Post Office
In this expedition, the Union detachment captured prisoners, destroyed several boats, including the ferry at Port Conway. In December, 1862, four gunboats were sent to Port Royal to support General Burnside's campaign in Fredericksburg. These gunboats were under the command of Commander Samuel Magaw. General Daniel Harvey Hill and General Rooney Lee defended Port Royal. The Union fleet was forced back down river.

Just a few short days later, the Union Navy started shelling Port Royal to diverted attention from Fredericksburg. This attack lasted two days. The Confederate army held the Union navy at bay until General Hill was called to Fredericksburg. Two days later, General Magaw gave the Confederate army an ultimatum; either evacuate Port Royal or the town would be destroyed. Lt. Colonel Zachariah of the 10th Virginia Cavalry notified the civilian population of Port Royal to evacuate. On hearing the news, General Lee came to Port Royal's defense and sent troops back to Port Royal. By this time, General Burnside had withdrawn from Fredericksburg so General Magaw did not go through with the mission. Port Royal was saved.
Port Royal Evacuation
General Robert E. Lee was born not too far from Port Conway and Port Royal at Stratford Hall. During the Civil War, he would have his wife's cousin, Julia Stuart, wife of Doctor Richard Stuart of Cleydael, to keep his two daughters' through most of the Civil War. Cleydael is just nine miles from Belle Grove Plantation.

Helen Bernard of Gaymont (known as Rose Hill today), daughter of John Hipkins Bernard and his wife Jane Bernard witnessed and wrote about her days during the Civil War. You might remember that John Hipkins Bernard was grandson of John Hipkins, the man that built the current center section of Belle Grove for his daughter, Fannie. Helen Bernard would write of dinners at Gaymont with Confederate officers General JEB Stuart and General Rooney Lee. She would also write about a raid that the Union army made on Port Royal in April, 1863. She would tell of five hundred Yankees pillaging the village, only to leave before the Confederate army arrived.

In August, 1863, two gunboats, the Satellite and the Reliance were captured by the Confederate army and were kept at Port Conway. In September, Brig. General Judson Kilpatrick and his Union forces were sent to Port Conway to recapture or destroy these gunboats. He advanced from King George using three roads, forcing the Confederate forces to move across the river to Port Royal. Early the next morning, Captain S.S. Elder of Battery E, 4th U.S. artillery planted his guns just above and just below the gunboats and opened fire at a range of 700 yards, driving the Confederate forces from the boats. Two hours later, the Satellite was heavily damaged and started to sink. All weapons were fixed then on the Reliance. After another three hours, Brig. General Kilpatrick withdrew and moved to Lamb's Creek Church, where he had a small fight with some Confederate forces. Afterward he made camp there. The Confederate army took advantage of this and stripped the gunboat of its machinery and guns. The gunboats were too damaged to save. One note; ironclads had been called to use during this fight, but had failed to show. Brig. General Kilpatrick reported only three killed and three wounded. There is no mention of a report from the Confederate forces.
General Judson Kilpatrick
This anchor was found within the last year just infront of Belle Grove Plantation in the river. Could it be one of the anchors from one of the gunboats?
By May, 1864, the Union army had control of Port Royal and made it a supply depot. Helen Bernard would write about General John Abercrombie of the Union army sending a guard to protect her family and remaining slaves. Instead the Union soldiers would take their mules and kill the remaining foals.
The soldiers from Port Royal and surrounding areas would see many from its ranks lost. The 9th Virginia Cavalry started with 1,815, but would be down to just 522 by the time they moved to Gettysburg. At the surrender at Appomattox, they would surrender 27 men, just one officer and 26 men. The 47th Virginia Infantry would start with 1,172 men. By April, 1862 it would be down to just 444 men. At Appomattox, they would surrender just two men. The Caroline Artillery start with 243 men and at Appomattox, they would surrender one officer and 11 men.
As for the Turner Family, we know that Carolinus was involved with the war and was part of the Confederate cause because we have located his pardon issued by President Andrew Johnson. We have a copy of this pardon, but the original is housed in the library in King George, Virginia. We also know that he was part of the Memorial Association of the Confederate. Now to whether he served in the Confederate Army, I have not been able to establish yet. My thought is that he remained at home due to his age. The only son, George would have been too young to serve.
In the 1870 Federal Census, Carolinus Turner was still listed as a farmer. At the age of 57, his wealth dropped from $272,500.00 at the start of the war to $110,000 at the end in 1870. His family Susan, 33, Carrie, 22, George, 17, Susan, 15 and Alice, 14 still lived at Belle Grove.
You have to wonder what this family saw and what they endured during this war. It was just at their door step. Most girls were married by the time they were 22, but Carrie would not marry for another six years. It is no wonder with the loss of men from this area during the war.
We aren't sure yet if Belle Grove served as a headquarters. What we do know is that during the restoration from 1997 to 2003, no bullet holes or scars from being fired on were found. We hope as we continue our research, we will be able to confirm its use during the Civil War.

what do you think happened to Annie?
You know, I don't know. I guess I need to go back to Stratford Hall to learn more about Robert E. Lee!

Perhaps you shoudl contact the "History Detective" and ask them to determine if the anchor belonged to a gunboat? Dianne
You know we are thinking about doing that, but for another reason. We want them to help us figure out the name in the window!
Jane Sadek Says:
You really know how to make history come alive! Thanks for all your hours of research.
Thank you! I really enjoy researching it and finding out the answers to my questions! Even better is sharing it with everyone!
Richard Harrison Says:
Thoroughly enjoying the historical backdrops you're posting on the interaction of the locale with on the larger stage. I spent Memorial Day Weekend 2011 photo-touring around the general vicinity and stayed in a B&B in Kinsale. Looking forward to doing the same thing again soon with Belle Grove as the base point.
Thank you so much! I heard this weekend that Fredericksburg has a really big event every year for Memorial Day. We may have to tie in to this. We look forward to having you at the plantaiton!
Among other things they have a very large and formal ceremony at the Confederate Cemetery. http://richardbegone.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/confederate-cemetery-fredericksburg-va/
Thank you for point out a beautiful part of being from the South.
feminineocean Says:
Very informative. I didn't know about the four neutral states, particularly Kentucky. Just to clarify my confusion, Belle Grove is yours? Trust you plan, at some point, to compile your writings and blogs into a book to sell at your house. Lots of work to just fade into digital space.
Belle Grove is owned by others. We are leasing it from them. I know I keep saying "our plantation" but with all the research, we have come to feel really connected to it. We have had so many say that about the book. I think once the bed and breakfast is up and running, I might see about it. Believe me, it won't fade away again.

Very interesting ~ I do wonder if Bell Grove served as a headquarters, it would seem logical since it is right there on the river. So much more of Civil War history I learned a lot tonight. Blessings – Patty
Thank you! We think it might have been. We just need to confirm it. You know, I learned allot too writing this one.

Wonderful Things That Never Should Have Happened: Central Michigan Defeats Oklahoma State on a Hail Mary-Lateral With No Time On The Clock
September 11, 2016 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
As Providence would have it, there are things that happen and people that happen and blessings that just so happen to happen in your life that never "should" have happened. But they did. You accidently bumped into a stranger who is now a lifelong friend; you were lost and somehow wandered and meandered to a now favorite place; and you stumbled across an ad for a job that has become your life's work. Sounds like Destiny to me.
Everything that is good is not necessarily planned and primed and programmed; at least not by us. But it is planned for us by Heaven. And that's the beauty of trusting and believing that all things work together for good to those who love God.
Upsets, comebacks and turnarounds are God's modus operandi. They are the meat and potatoes of God's Playbook. And all of Heaven hopes and is hyped over endings like this.
It's sounds strange and it seems silly and it feels funny but it's true; some of the best things in life never should have happened. They weren't planned out or mapped out but they turned out all right for you in the end. And so it goes for the Central Michigan Football team after a stunning, exhilarating, mindboggling win.
It all happened on Oklahoma State's home field in Stillwater. The officials made a doozy of a dinger – and it cannot be fixed. The play that followed was even more astonishing. One of the oddest endings imaginable left Oklahoma State stunned and Central Michigan celebrating.
A misinterpreted rule extended the game when it should have been over and allowed the Chippewas to score a wild, winning touchdown on a Hail Mary and lateral — yes, both! — that covered half the field for a 30-27 upset of No. 22 Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Here's how ESPN reported what happened at the end of the Central Michigan, Oklahoma State game on Saturday, September 10, 2016:
"In one of the more improbable finishes to a football game, Central Michigan wide receiver Corey Willis grabbed a lateral from fellow receiver Jesse Kroll at the 12-yard line after a Hail Mary and raced into the end zone with no time remaining to stun No. 22 Oklahoma State 30-27 on Saturday.
It never should have happened.
Mid-American Conference referee Tim O'Dey — as well as the MAC and the Big-12 conferences — acknowledged after the game that Central Michigan was wrongly awarded an untimed down, which resulted in the miraculous Hail-and-lateral finish.
With four seconds remaining, Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph threw an incomplete pass to the left sideline to run the final seconds off the clock for what seemed to be a 27-24 victory for the Cowboys (1-1). However, no receivers ran a route, thus resulting in an intentional grounding penalty on fourth down.
'That's a tough one. Just so everyone knows, I was the one who called the passing play,' Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. 'To be honest with you, I never even thought of intentional grounding being called at that point in the game. As much time as we put into end-of-game situations, that never really crossed my mind. Unfortunately, that's a difficult way to learn a hard lesson.'
And one team's fallacy turned into another team's fantasy. And in life, while we never want to win and another's expense, sometimes and of times and most times, on the other side of a big win is a bad loss. And that's just how it is in life and in sports.
Why Aren't You Watching The NBA Playoffs? (2016 Edition)
May 3, 2016 May 14, 2016 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
I know that many of you don't really like basketball in general and detest the NBA in particular, but I'm telling you, if you aren't watching the 2016 Playoffs, then shame on you. And that goes for me too.
The NBA Playoffs, for all they are not, are entertaining and intriguing and even inspiring. Yes, inspiring. The best player on the best team is out with an injury and yet his team hasn't missed a beat. The Golden State Warriors are warlords on a war path en route to a 2nd Straight NBA Title. Or so it seems. So, no Steph? No problem! Clay Thompson and Draymond Green have stepped up to the plate and they're hitting it out of the park, so to speak.
And in the other Western Conference series, the Oklahoma City Thunder got absolutely smashed in Game 1, 124- 92. Everybody, and I mean everybody didn't see this coming. Not their humbling loss in Game one nor their exhilarating win in Game 2 (98 – 97). How do you lose by 32 points one night and then turn all the way around and win a nail biting thriller the next?
Their hero and soon to be free agent-leader Kevin Durant didn't cry or wine or complain after the loss. He just came back and played Game 2 in the cauldron of the steamy AT&T Center with reckless abandon. And San Antonio is a place where the Spurs had lost only once this season — to the Warriors — the greatest regular-season team of all time, mind you.
So, for Durant and Westbrook and the Thunder to thunder back and win in San Antonio to tie the series when they did, how they did, the way they did, has got to be some sort of miracle. The win was instantly inspiring and encouraging and moving and motivating. And I didn't even watch the game! But when I saw the final score, something in me just jumped up and basically broke down. I wanted to leap for joy and break down in tears all at the same time. OKC may have been down, but they're not out.
It just goes to show that in sports and in life you can come back from the brink, and yes, even from the dead. When everyone and everybody everywhere puts you down and counts you out and writes you off, and you STILL manage to mount a comeback and stage an upset and triumph in a turnaround, you know that Providence must be doing another great work.

No. 6 prospect Bubic comes into his own
Left-hander bounces back from early jitters in MLB debut
Jeffrey Flanagan
@FlannyMLB
KANSAS CITY -- One would understand, and even expect, a young pitcher making his MLB debut to be a little nervous or perhaps too amped up.
That seemed to be the case for left-hander Kris Bubic, the Royals' No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline and somewhat of a surprise choice to be Kansas City's starter for its home opener on Friday night against the White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals lost to Chicago, 3-2.
• Box score
Bubic, who has never pitched above Class A Wilmington, struggled getting his fastball and his changeup down in the zone, especially early. He threw 76 pitches, and 37 came in above the belt.
"A little bit amped up," Bubic said. "My fastball command throughout the night wasn't what I wanted. I was able to fall back on the changeup.
"It's good to get the first start out of the way. But down the road, I need to have better fastball command and get in better counts. Overall, it was a positive experience."
Bubic twice hung changeups to Tim Anderson in the first two innings that resulted in a double and a single.
• Royals vets impressed by bold promotions
Manager Mike Matheny and catcher Salvador Perez recognized Bubic was overexcited early on.
"I did talk to him between innings," Perez said. "Just [to] calm down. He's got good pitches."
Bubic hit White Sox catcher James McCann twice, once in the helmet and once on the left forearm. And after the first time, Adam Engel, the next batter, pounced on a changeup that floated over the middle of the plate and parked it over the left-field fence for a three-run home run.
"For me, I have longer arm action," Bubic said, "so the tendency is for me to be late, where my body drifts out and my arm has to catch up."
Added Matheny, "He didn't keep them honest at that point. They have to go hand in hand, control the zone with his fastball and set up the changeup. And if you don't set it up, you get to where hitters are looking [for the changeup]."
But Bubic, 22, seemed to calm himself after the home run, allowing just one hit over his final 2 2/3 innings.
No pitcher in @MiLB had more strikeouts last year than Kris Bubic.

— Kansas City Royals (@Royals) July 31, 2020
And Bubic demonstrated why the Royals are so high on his potential. His changeup, when located, can be devastating and one of the main reasons he led all of Minor League Baseball with 185 strikeouts in 2019.
Bubic struck out José Abreu and Yasmani Grandal back to back in the third inning with changeups down in the zone. Grandal was so fooled that his bat went flying over the White Sox dugout.
"He kept attacking the zone, trusting his stuff," Matheny said, "and he got better as he went. You watch some of the swings they had in the lineup, with all three pitches, and you can see why we're so excited about Kris Bubic. He held his composure, even without fastball command."
And finishing strong was a big boost for Bubic.
"I had some trouble in the second. Long inning, took some energy out of me," he said. "But I wanted to keep the score right there. And for me, it was good to bounce back."
Bubic went four innings and scattered three hits and two earned runs, walking one and striking out three. He became just the sixth starting pitcher in the past 13 years to make his MLB debut without ever pitching above Class A.
The others:
Nick Margevicius (Padres), March 30, 2019
José Fernández (Marlins), April 7, 2013
Mike Leake (Reds), April 11, 2010
Rick Porcello (Tigers), April 9, 2009
Rick Van Den Hurk (Marlins), April 10, 2007
The most important element to Bubic's night was that he kept the Royals in it.
Ryan McBroom hit his first Major League home run in the sixth inning for the Royals, a blast that traveled a Statcast-estimated 426 feet and brought the Royals to within 3-2.
Left-fielder Alex Gordon held the line in the seventh when he gunned down Nick Madrigal, who was trying to score from second base on a single by Leury Garcia. It was Gordon's 99th career assist, the most in baseball since 2010.

'Uncharted territory': CCSD principals discuss challenges to reopening schools
UN agency: North Europe radiation likely linked to reactor
Posted: Jul 3, 2020 / 03:30 AM PDT / Updated: Jul 3, 2020 / 06:32 AM PDT
BERLIN (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency said Friday that slightly elevated levels of radioactivity detected in northern Europe likely were related to a nuclear reactor that was either operating or undergoing maintenance, but it's still unclear where it is located.
Estonia, Finland and Sweden last week measured higher-than-usual levels of ruthenium and caesium isotopes and detected some other artificial radionuclides. They said nothing on their territory had happened to explain their presence, as did more than 40 other countries that volunteered information to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The IAEA said the higher level of isotopes "is likely related to a nuclear reactor that is either operating or undergoing maintenance, when very low radioactive releases can occur." It added in a statement that "the geographical origin of the release has not yet been determined."
The Vienna-based U.N. agency said it "ruled out that the release was related to the improper handling of a radioactive source."
"It was also unlikely to be linked to a nuclear fuel processing plant, a spent fuel pool or to the use of radiation in industry or medicine," it said. The agency stressed anew that the concentrations of the particles in the air were very low and posed no risk to human health or the environment.
The Netherlands' National Institute for Public Health and the Environment said a week ago that the isotopes may be from a source in Russia and "may indicate damage to a fuel element in a nuclear power plant." Russia's state nuclear power operator, however, said the two nuclear power plants in northwestern Russia haven't reported any problems.
Russia was among the countries that reported back to the IAEA after it contacted nuclear authorities across Europe to request information.
A 70-foot-long LauncherOne rocket was released from beneath the wing of a Boeing 747 carrier aircraft off the coast of Southern California, ignited moments later and soared toward space.

My mainstream Nintendo game franchise is Castlevania. Some people love The Legend of Zelda, others Metroid, but I'm a Castlevania fan. Which is not to say that I have played a lot of Castlevania: only half of Symphony of the Night and Curse of Darkness, although I have watched a friend play through most of Simon's Quest.
One reason for my enthusiasm has to do with Castlevania's haunting music and its classical influences, especially in the tracks "Vampire Killer" and "Bloody Tears," which are touchstones of my musical tastes. (When I played in a rock band, I often gave "it sounds like Castlevania" as a reason for covering songs by a variety of bands, from Opeth to Iron Maiden. Yngwie Malmsteen's neoclassical metal, characterized by its use of the melodic minor scale and techniques like pedal point, also strongly resembles Castlevania stylistically). This essay by a musicologist offers excellent, comprehensive analysis of Castlevania music.
Another reason for my love of Castlevania has to do with level design and the spaces of the Belmonts' quests, which were based in part on actual castles.
The third and most important reason for my love of Castlevania is that it is a classic example of Gothic gaming. Laurie N. Taylor is the authority on survival horror games and their relationship to the Gothic, which was her dissertation topic. My understanding of the Gothic is much less rigorous and detailed than Laurie's, but my definition does involve a set of criteria.
•	Brooded over by an atmosphere of mystery and the arcane which lends itself to symbolism.
Plotkin's eighteenth-century prose style is consciously Miltonic, especially in the phrase "who was cast down." The parallel is between Raziel and Milton's Lucifer: both rebels against a divine being whose motives and actions are sinister and suspect, perhaps conferring upon the fallen angels the status of romantic hero or anti-hero.
I'll have more to say about the Gothic in gaming and its relationship to design as these blog entries continue.

Mrs. Miller—Pri's mother. Wants Pri to come back to their family firm, refused to go out of town to stay safe during the case Pri is working on.
Impossible.
Deleon cannot be here at the cabin, at the hideaway I've told no one about but my team at Walker Security. And yet, here he is, big, tattooed, and smirking like the clown he is, but he's not just a clown. He's a killer, one who enjoys the sport of it.
Before Pitt ever hits the ground, with Deleon's knife buried in his back, Deleon charges at me. I reach for my gun, but before I can get off a shot, there's a blast at the rear of the house. My first thought is Pri, please God, do not let Pri be dead in the middle of one of my booby traps. But thank fuck, she screams in reaction to the blast, right here in the cabin, but I've hesitated with my fear for her, and it's a mistake.
Hesitation is the kiss of death with Deleon.
With a tackle, he takes me down, the hard floor punishing my back and jolting my bones and he doesn't do it silently. He's cursing me in Spanish, calling me a traitor and pig, but I don't miss another beat. I punch him. He punches me. I'm about to elbow the fuck out of him and flip us over when I hear, "Get off him or I'll shoot!"
Pri.
Holy fuck, Pri.
Deleon smirks at me, his long dark hair in disarray, half in and half out of the tie at his nape. His gun shifts, lifts, points at Pri, but he's still looking at me. "Make one little move," he promises, "and I'll shoot her before she shoots me."
"She's gutsy and well trained," I warn. "I wouldn't gamble against her skills or willingness to kill you."
"Are you really going to gamble against me?" he demands, smirking again, as if he knows I won't, but he doesn't shoot me or Pri.
Why, I wonder, did he bother to tackle me? Why not shoot me and be done with it when he had the chance? All I know are two things right now: I want his attention off Pri and I hope like hell she just shoots the fucker.
"What do you want, Deleon?" I demand softly.
His eyes burn with hatred. "Does your bitch know all the dirty shit you did, man? Does she know you're like us?"
"Isn't that exactly what makes me such a damn good witness?" I taunt, but I don't like where this is going.
"Does she know you killed your brother? Does she know you enjoyed it?"
That's it. I'm done. Adrenaline and anger collide in a surge. I roll him over, smash him to his fucking back, knock away his gun, and my blade is already in my hand. I don't even hesitate. I slam the damn thing into his chest, a non-lethal location just below his collarbone. But it hurts like hell and I know from experience that it bleeds like the bitch he is. He gasps, blood spurting from his mouth, and I'm already standing, rolling him to his stomach, my boot between his shoulder blades.

ProSportsDaily.com > Basketball > Golden State Warriors > Would you give up Monta or Andris?
View Full Version : Would you give up Monta or Andris?
Well, I am from Miami and who would you want from Miami. We would give you Marion and 1 or 2 of Banks, Blount, and Cook. We want back Harrington and Monta/Biedrins. Would you do it? I am not suggesting you do this I just want to know your opinion so don't be hatin.
alright i almost freaked ot but you seem normal so ill try not to. Monta ellis and biedrins are not mving anywhere peird. are gma nd coach made it very clear whenever they the chance, that those two are not moving. marion is not worth it. we have plent of sf and he cant not play pf in the west. why would we want to take back blounts contract back? ellis our point guard, the only one we got right now and is also are best player. biedrins is 22 and has improved every single year. they are the building blocks for our team and were not trading them to rent a player. getting marion helps us in no way escpially if we had to give up one of those guys. we offerd harington, you guys dont want it, thats as far as it will go.
Crap for nothing. C'mon. We're not getting rid of 2 proven players aged 22 and 23. Marion is a player, but he's also an expiring contract. The rest is just garbage. Nobody would take Banks or Blount, because their contracts are terrible.
That's like me saying we want Beasley, we have Jackson and Harrington and Belinelli, except that would be much, much better than what your proposing.
If it was Marion and a 1st rounder for Biedrins and Harrington, with us knowing we would have Marion on an extention so that he wouldn't just be a rental, I would do it.
No chance in hell. Never in a million years. Not gonna happen. Ellis and Biedrins will be like Stockton and Malone hear for better or worse. They will always be Warriors.
I was just wondering. Now, I know waht you guys think, thanks. I didn't mean to insult the team, I just simply wanted tofind out your opinion on it.
Maybe Andres. Not Monta unless it is for Lebron James.
i would trade andris for a better package. he is more of a garbage points guy than a natural scorer. you cant give him the ball and say attack and automatically get 2 points. If we could get a solid big man, I would do a deal with biedrins. monta is untouchable in my eyes though. I wish i knew what other teams we were talking to other than the pistons and heat.
I'd give Harrington and Biedrens in a heart beat for Marion and maybe Chalmers or an equivilant. Marion is a GREAT defender and a good open floor threat. do this in a heart beat.
Marion is a great defender and awesome in the open floor, but there is no way I would accept this trade if I were Chris Mullin. It's not like Marion changed the Heats season when he came to them. Miami may have shut down shop around the time he came, but he did not do a whole lot during his stint there. I know a lot of people would like to have Marion as our PF, but it would not work over here. The reason it worked a Phoenix is he had a beast in middle in Amare. Even when Amare got hurt, he still flourished because he had Steve Nash. Yes, Monta is great in the open floor as well, but they don't call him ONE Man Fastbreak for nothing. Nash and Baron are great at leading a fast break and making the right decision, but have you seen Ellis lead one consistently. No, because he was off to the races all by himself. When someone would put a body in front of him, you rarely ever see him slow down and pass it down to the wings, ala Nash and BD. He would just attack the basket even if that was not the best available shot. Don't get me wrong, I love Ellis and I want him to be a Warrior for life, but until he develops more into a PG, Marion would not be as effective.


It's incredible sound is much more louder than the legendary Saturn V engine, and never before has this been achieved with such an enormous fun factor. It features an analog multimode VCF with lowpass, bandpass, and highpass, resonance up to self oscillation and beyond, a powerful monophonic oscillator section with Ultra High Density Sawtooth and unison for chord play.
Except with some hiccups with UPS everything was perfect and will order again.

My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else, if they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do. This is my principle and I try to act upon it. To pursue a contrary course would ruin any community in the world and make them idlers.


MILLWALL are aiming to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the second consecutive season after last year's heroics against three Premier League sides brought them to the last eight.
On Saturday they face League One Rochdale who sit 23rd in the third tier currently – nine points from safety.
Coming off of their first away win of the season, at Leeds, the Lions will be confident of going through.
Lucas Ball spoke to Rochdale fan and Coral PR Manager John Hill this week.
Why do you support Rochdale?
I was born in Rochdale and despite having Manchester United and Manchester City on our doorsteps, I resisted the temptation of going down the road to watch the big guns in action.
What's been your favourite season supporting Rochdale?
It would have to be the 2009-10 season as we achieved our first promotion in 41 years. We had been in the basement division for so long it became known as the Rochdale division.
We beat Northampton 1-0 at Spotland to secure promotion to League One and it was such a special feeling – the kind of moments you live for as a football fan.
Where do you expect Rochdale to finish this season?
I am staying optimistic and I am hoping we can finish just above the drop zone. We have a lot of work to do though as results need to improve fast.
I still believe we have a lot of talent in the squad, they are just lacking in confidence. There are a lot of points to play for so we will be fighting until the end.
What impact will the game versus Southend being postponed have?
I think the Southend postponement will give the players some much-needed rest. We played a lot of football over the Christmas and New Year period.
Unlike Pep Guardiola at Manchester City (who was complaining about his schedule), we don't have a squad of 30+ players to rotate.
I am sure the players will be up for this tie and they will be desperate to cause an upset.
Who will Keith Hill's danger men be on Saturday?
Our captain Ian Henderson is a player who has the ability to be playing at a higher level. Not only has Hendo got goals in him, you will often see him drop back into midfield to try and instigate a drive up the field.
One of our brightest young players is Callum Camps – who scored twice against Millwall last season, in the 3-2 win at The Den and 3-3 draw at Spotland – who will be in the centre of midfield .
Likewise, which Millwall players will Rochdale be keeping a watchful eye on?
As proved against Leeds at Elland Rd, the Lions have plenty of goals in them. Our back-line is going to have a busy afternoon dealing with Lee Gregory.
What's your predicted Rochdale starting XI and formation?

With all the trouble brewing in the world, it's normal to fear the future. Nobody can expect their future to be filled only with sunshine and peace. In fact, the truth is that everyone will have many trials and tribulations in their future, and then they'll die. But don't despair, there is hope—not in this decaying world system, but in God.
This short article will teach you how to face the future, bravely—how to replace your fear with godly knowledge and a solid hope.
Most would agree that 21st-century civilization seems to be unraveling.
When I just typed "economic collapse mathematical certainty" into the YouTube search window, there were 1,630 videos on the topic. The USA is $20 trillion dollars in debt, with many 'experts' expecting a cataclysmic, worldwide economic depression to hit in 2017/2018.
We all enjoy the amazing food distribution system that brings us year-round fresh meat, seafood, vegetables, and fruit from countries around the world. But Western nations have now become totally dependent on this system. As a result, very few people have gardens or store emergency food, so millions are unprepared and they'll die if any long-term disaster (i.e., economic downturn, world war, electric grid down, Yellowstone eruption, etc.) disrupts the restocking of our grocery store shelves every 3 days.
Twenty-first-century life is becoming more and more chaotic and dangerous, and there's nothing visible on the horizon that provides an expectation that our future will be any better than today.
Death. While we don't like to think about it or discuss it, please take a moment to acknowledge the reality that your body is eventually going to die. Whether you're unexpectedly killed in a car accident tomorrow, or peacefully and painlessly go to sleep for the last time when you're 110 years old, the terminal result is the same. Our days are numbered and (unless a miracle happens) we're all going to die.
Accepting your individual mortality usually doesn't cause us concern, as long as you believe your death isn't imminent.
In contrast, however, the fears of global depression, famines, World War III, and the Antichrist stamping everyone with 666 can fill us with dread, even if these events never actually happen within our lifetime.
The nightly news makes it seem like catastrophic events could be imminent, making us feel like society's time is running out.
We have no control over world events, so we feel helpless.
We're afraid for the welfare of our loved ones.
This is the world system of government, economy, and religion that we know. We can't imagine how things will be different in the next world system that replaces it.
When we feel like world events could be fulfilling prophecies in the Book of Revelation, it's natural to fear TEOTWAWKI–the end of the world as we know it. The imminent fear of society's end often creates an emotional burden of anxiety, dread, and stress.
In 1974, while I was sitting alone in prayer on my bed, I had a supernatural visitation from the Holy Spirit in which God revealed His love to me. It was like trying to drink an ocean of pure love. The experience was so physically overpowering that I couldn't stand it. As awesomely pleasant as it was, I had to ask God to lessen it or I believe I would have physically died.
Since then, whenever I'm tempted to doubt God's existence, or whether He is concerned with a situation, I remind myself of that experience and the revelation of God's love is a solid anchor to my faith.
God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.
Ask God to give you a revelation of His love. It will drive out your fears.
How Can a Loving God…?
In response to the statement "God is love" people will sincerely ask, "But how can a loving God tolerate all the suffering in the world," or something similar.
For a detailed answer, including the purpose and plan of God through the eons of creation, please read my free eBook at http://standinfaith.org/home/the-overcomers-treasure-map/.
So, how can we prepare for the end time, and be brave as we face it?
Whether we're actually in the apocalyptic end time or not, troubles are certainly coming in our future. The important thing is that our fears are real, and justified. How can we prepare ourselves, physically and spiritually?
Possessing emergency plans, supplies, and skills help defeat fear. This kind of preparation can help you survive many natural or man-made disasters.
For example, everyone would be wise to store some dried rice and beans, plant a small vegetable garden, and have a water filter to purify drinking water.
Corey Ten Boom was a young Christian girl in Holland in World War II. Her family believed it was their Christian duty to hide Jews in their attic. Decades later, after the entire family had suffered for this act in a Nazi concentration camp, she shared this story about her fear.
One day, at the train station, I voiced my concern to my father about whether I would be brave enough to suffer for Jesus if the Germans arrested us.
So, bravery isn't the absence of fear. Rather, it's doing your duty in spite of your fear, and God will give you the strength when you need it.
What is your duty? Your main duty in this life, living under the dominion of the current, anti-God world system, is simply to follow God wholeheartedly and trust Him with the safe-keeping of your soul.
We follow God by walking in the 'Way of the Lord,' following truth, goodness, and holiness.
Follow truth by aligning yourself with reality. Reality is revealed in nature, the Bible, and the Spirit of God.
Like Jesus, we may suffer for doing God's will in this world, but if we're faithful to Him in this life we'll share God's glory in His eternal kingdom.
See http://standinfaith.org/home/the-overcomers-treasure-map/ for the rationale behind this statement.
A pregnant woman may wonder how she'll bear the coming painful ordeal of birthing her child, but when the time comes and her contractions begin she naturally does what she has to do in spite of the pain. There is no 'opting out' of the experience. Then, as soon as her child is born, she forgets the pain because of the joy she feels. It will be the same for born-again Christians in the end time.
We can be brave and overcome our fears by (1) trusting in God's love, and (2) having an eternal perspective.
Which Group Will You Be Judged With?
Definition: A disciple is an active follower of the living, resurrected Messiah. Disciples are 100% committed to eradicating sin from their lives and being transformed by the renewing of their minds (Romans 12:2). They're students of God's word, and growing daily through prayer and spiritual relationship to God.
Today, disciples have nothing to fear from death. Their bodies will be resurrected in the first resurrection. They'll rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years before the general resurrection. They'll inherit an eternal reward of life and glory in God's presence.
During the coming 'great tribulation' living disciples of the Messiah will be 'sealed' by God and glorified as God's manifested sons and daughters. To silence their godly testimony, Satan and the Antichrist may persecute and kill them. As a result, they'll earn the martyr's crown, to be worn proudly for all eternity. They'll also sing a new song on Mount Zion with the Lamb, a song that no one else will be able to sing. Finally, they'll earn the 8 promises to the overcomers in the Book of Revelation.
Definition: A believer has asked God to forgive his sins by faith in Jesus' sacrifice, but he's less than 100% committed to following God daily or eradicating sin from his life.
The Devil would like you to believe that living your earthly life now is more important than the state of your eternal spirit, and as long as you're a 'good person' believing in Jesus isn't required.
The Devil is a liar. Everyone who follows him dies, and then their spirit will suffer burning torment in hell.
The truth is that the state of your immortal spirit is infinitely more important than your temporary, physical body. Everyone's body will die in a few years, but your spirit never dies. God's desire (for everyone) is for our spirits to become holy, like Jesus. We become holy by choosing to walk in 'the way of the Lord' during our earthly life.
If you reject Jesus as your Savior, He will not be able to receive you into heaven when your dead body is resurrected in the general resurrection. You will stand naked before God, without the free gift of forgiveness which is available now through faith in Jesus. Almighty God will judge you, pronouncing your sentence based on your unbelief and the sin you preferred above salvation.
You'll then be cast into a place of burning torment to serve 100% of your long sentence. I believe the purpose of hell is redemptive, to burn away the sinfulness from each unbeliever's evil spirit until you're ready to repent and ask God for forgiveness. For some, this will take thousands of years; for others, less, depending on the hardness of your heart.
Based on Colossians 1:20 (and other verses) everyone will eventually receive God's forgiveness and be released from this place of burning torment.
Eventually, in the ages to come, God's plan is for everyone who ever lived to dwell in His presence in heaven, after sincerely bowing their knee to Jesus Christ and confessing that He is the only Savior and Lord.
Therefore, if you're an unbeliever you'd be wise to repent of your sins and dedicate your life to following Jesus today. Don't wait another day—you never know what tomorrow will bring.
We can't avoid the birthing process of the coming new age, but you can be eternally blessed by deciding to follow God wholeheartedly and trusting Him with the safe-keeping of your soul.
God's love drives out fear. You can be brave and overcome your fears by (1) trusting in God's love, and (2) having an eternal perspective.
In this short life, your most important decision is whether you'll choose to be a disciple, a believer, or an unbeliever. Disciples are the only ones who have nothing to regret or fear in death.
