Credit cards aren't going away so everybody just get used to it. Being disciplined enough to not carry a balance is pretty important. Not using a credit card at all is even better. Many people carry very big balances on their cards and use them like play money. That, my friend, is a bad idea. Debt makes you somebody's biatch.
I'm going to respond like ISUAlum just did... Originally Posted by Phaedrus I know everyone on the thread is ignoring this point, or maybe I'm not making it strongly enough, but consumers STILL buy 15-20 percent more of "stuff" when they use a credit card, than when they pay with cash. travman23: I don't spend money just to put it on the CC. If I don't need it or can't afford it I don't buy it. Plain and simple, wether I use cash or a CC is not going to change my spending habits drastically. In fact I think seeing that total number on the CC bill each month can alter my next month's spending if I do feel that I racked up a few too many bills whereas if it went out in little increments of my bank account I'd probably not notice the total ammount I'm spending. Do you honestly believe that throwing in that soda, and that hotdog or whatever, when you get a tank of gas doesn't eclipse the returns on your "Rewards" cards? travman23: I pay at the pump, I can't even remember the last time I went in for a soda and when I have it wasn't just to rack up a few more $ on my card, I was probably thirsty or hungry and I probably paid cash after using the CC at the pump. And I don't know anyone that spends money on a CC just because of the rewards although I am sure there are people out there that do. And do each and every one of you "responsible" consumers have a 3-6 month emergency fund to cover emergencies??? The most dangerous course of action is when you lose your job, and put $30,000 on credit cards, "because they are there". And then your "warm and fuzzy 'helpful' credit card company" puts 35% interest on the balance, because you "might" default on payment. travman23: yes, probably have more than most people do in reserves. In fact I could easily pay off my car loan or even my entire 2nd mortgage and still have some funds left but then if I did need those funds in an emergency then I'd be screwed. The only debt I have right now is the mortgages on the house and around a 1/3 of what I still owe on the new car I bought last year. I put over 50% down on my new car last year without depleting my savings and like I said, if I really wanted to I could pay it completely off but being "financially responsible" as we keep trying to get across to you that not all of us are stupid I chose to leave something in the bank for a rainy day. I pay my CC balance off each month so I pay 0% interest on them and I would never think about carrying a balance on 1. I'd go take out a small loan from the bank before I'd do that as the interest rate would be MUCH less than the CC rate. Of course, I'm sure that'll never happen to anyone on this board.... And then we'll have to listen to you ***** and moan when it happens, and we're not "understanding" when we refuse to sympathize with your foolish behavior. travman23: we aren't saying that it may never happen to someone here, it probably already has for some. Several of us have just been trying to get the point across that there is nothing wrong with reward CC's for those of us who actually are financially responsible with our money and can use those CC's responsibly to benefit us. Why wouldn't I want 1-3% back on purchases that I would normally make with a CC? I get $50 for just signing up for it and an additional $50 each time I cash in $200 of the cash back reward. That's $300+ that I wouldn't have it I didn't use the card and that's not counting the interest I earn on my investments and money market savings by keeping money on hand longer before paying bills versus keeping more in the checking account to cover paying cash all the time for things.
Go Cubs Go!
And it begins: Some gas stations banning credit cards - Oil & energy - MSNBC.com His complaints target the so-called interchange fee a percentage of the sale price paid to credit card companies on every transaction. The percentage is fixed usually at just under 2 percent but the dollar amount of the fee rises with the price of the goods or services.As gas tops $4 a gallon, that pushes fees toward 10 cents a gallon. Now stations, which typically mark up gasoline by 11 to 12 cents a gallon, are seeing profits shrink or even reverse.
And those stations will not get my business.
Originally Posted by ISUAlum2002 And those stations will not get my business. Do you expect a business to pay for you to get gas... Okay... then you will pay more.
That quote you have says that gas stations mark up their gas 11-12 cents per gallon. They also say that the card fees come up to "almost" 10 cents per gallon. They're still making money off of me, albeit an extremely small margin. No one is stopping them from marking up their gas some more. Hell, gas prices are astronomical as it is, what's another few cents per gallon at this point?
Originally Posted by AIT So, because we could abuse something, we shouldn't have it at all? Interesting theory. Yes, it is. Just like recovering alcoholics shouldn't keep booze in the house; someone who is deeply in debt shouldn't keep credit cards handy. It's good to see we have some real "weirdos" on the forum, (and I mean that, because I'm definitely "not normal" when it comes to finances and debt. (but it wasn't always that way.)
Originally Posted by ISUFan22 So now you're going down the road of consumer debt, a somewhat off-topic discussion from this one.

The only reason so-called "Rewards" are offered, is because the majority of people who use them carry a balance. So, most that are using the rewards cards are not paying off the balance each month. But thanks for being snarky....
You know, the "so what" of this whole conversation, is that those who are "irresponsible" with credit cards are the same people who aren't taking care of their own retirement and future medical costs. They are going to be tapping into those of us who delay gratifications' wallets when they get older and infirm. What torques me off, is that they are living it up, in advance, and then will be stealing mine and my children's money later. And while I've earned a lower than average wage throughout my life, they will be calling me "rich" when the time comes for them to thieve off me and mine.

<<< ini_set('include_path', realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../includes/') . '.' . PATH_SEPARATOR . ini_get('include_path')); First, notice the use of the realpath() function to put the canonicalized absolute pathname together from a relative link (/../includes/), which by the way, resides below the public document root ;) -- tidies it up quite nicely. Second, we concatenate the current server configuration include_path to the end of our include_path. Why? In case you want to use any existing paths, such as PEAR classes. Lastly, notice the use of the PATH_SEPARATOR predefined constant? That way you can use it on a Windows server or a *nix server without having to modify anything. >>>
Coopster once sent me this one: Regards Include-
Control your included files
Wouldn't it be nice to just include() your files and never have to worry about the path? You set it once when you setup a new site and be done with it. A lot of programmers use this technique, you'll often see it called the "config.php" script or something similar. Here's a sample to get you started (replace the bold path with the path to your includes directory):
Some pretty neat stuff going on in here.

text: Transnistria is a territory located between Ukraine and Moldova. It is de jure a part of Moldova, but has had de facto independence since the early 1990s. In 1990, the region announced its intention to succeed from Moldova to become the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR). Between 1990 and 1992 at least 700 people were killed in fighting between Transnistrian separatists and Moldova. In a 2006 referendum that was not recognized by the international community [BBC report], 97 percent of the people in the region voted for independence and expressed support for a plan to eventually joining Russia.

Baltimore's First XTERRA Scramble is Revving UpXTERRA's Scramble Adventure in Baltimore is drawing interest from every level of athlete, from 20 time Iron Man participant Lyn Brook to the average runner. Race producer Dave Cooley fully expects to reach the 400 person limit for the unique adventure set for August 14, 2005 at the Boody Vineyard in Hydes. The Charm City Run XTERRA Scramble 5k has peaked the interest of many new runners looking for an edge, with women making up 56% of the entries. In anticipation of a sell out, no race day entries are available. The Charm City Run XTERRA Scramble 5k will take participants through the Boordy Vineyard in Hydes, dodging grapevines and the natural challenges of the land. The event will be held on Sunday, August 14, 2005. It will start at 6:00 p.m. and finish with a wine tasting, tour of the Boordy Vineyard and evening music. There will be awards in the following categories: Traffic may be impacted along Long Green, a rural two lane road, during the 3.1 mile run, but this lane and the entire course will be manned by police where needed for safety. The XTERRA® Trail Run Scramble Series offers "do-able adventures" for runners looking for the challenge only nature and XTERRA can offer -leaping over rocks and roots, climbing hills and trails, and running through creeks and ravines. A SCRAMBLE is a twisting, turning escape from pounding the pavement. A SCRAMBLE is fun. It's not your ordinary weekend run. It's an off-the-wall, in-your-face challenge that puts nature at the forefront and tests your determination and endurance. The run is aimed at the health and wellness runner looking for an off-road running challenge while benefiting a local organization. The inception of the XTERRA Scramble Series came from the XTERRA Foundation's goal to reach out to at-risk children and teach them how to deal with adversity and competition at an early age. The more opportunity a child has, the better the odds for a successful outcome. Each Scramble event has partnered with a local non-profit organization which will benefit directly from the XTERRA Foundation and the XTERRA Scramble Series. The local beneficiary will be directly tied to the community and, in many cases, fulfill the Foundation's mission of reaching out to kids by having both a direct financial benefit and the chance, in most venues, to participate in the event itself. The XTERRA Scramble in Baltimore will benefit St. Joseph Medical Center's Heart Institute, Maryland's largest open-heart surgery and all-digital cardiac catheterization program. The Institute offers a range of diagnostic, surgical and therapeutic facilities and services such as a chest pain center, cardio graphics, electrophysiology lab, nuclear medicine, cardiac intensive care, hospital-wide monitoring capabilities and cardiovascular fitness programs. |

My Other Reviews
Time Warner Cable
Update 1/1/2013:
FiOS is still just as reliable as it was back in 2007. Still not even one minute of downtime. Service is always the advertised speed I'm paying for, if not faster. Never any slowdowns on weekends/evenings, unlike cable. Their new speed tiers seem to be a little outrageous to me. The lowest-price speed is overpriced beyond belief (at least in my area -- 15 down/5 up is not worth $70 a month no matter if the service is available 100% of the time) so I would get at least the 50/25 plan. I currently have 25/25 and that's more than enough to stream from multiple devices.
Review from Dec 2009:
I have had Verizon FiOS since December of 2007, so I've had it for over eight months now. (I've updated this again as of Dec 2009) I originally signed up for 15/2mbps but just upgraded to 20/5 today. (Upgraded to 25 down/15 up in Q1 2009)
Got FiOS installed and it was a lengthy process. They drill a box on the side for battery backup. I'm sure there's a reason for it if people want phone service but I don't care since I have my own VOIP company. I digress.
I just wish it didn't take about six hours to set up. It took longer, granted, because I signed up with TV as well, so otherwise it would have probably taken only about four hours...
The guys didn't set up anything on my computer. They seemed to be in a hurry. I figured out most of it and got it all set up. I'm still discovering that I can add more features and just enabled my main e-mail account about six months after having the service.
The service is reliable. I don't remember sitting in front of my computer and having any genuine downtime. About once every other month, I have to reboot the router but that takes me away from the Internet for only 45 seconds every 60 days. That's not bad at all. (Update: I haven't had to reboot my router in almost a year as of Dec 2009)
Fast speeds, but during/right after I use p2p, my ability to browse the Internet is horrible! It speeds up again but I barely set it up at 30KB which should hardly take a toll on my bandwidth. I could do 100KBps comfortably. Oh well. (Update: This was a problem with my uTorrent software that throttles all bandwidth. They think I'm full of it but it only happens when Scheduler is enabled)
Great connection otherwise. Nice, fast downloads. During "peak" times I'm not affected at all. I don't live in the ghetto; it's about an average neighborhood, and most people I know have gotten Verizon installed at their house around here, so I'm grateful that I am always getting my advertised speeds. I paid about 55 for 15/2 and I now pay 60 for 20/5. $5 diff for 5mbits more? sure! (Update: I now pay $65 total for 25/15 as of Dec 2009)
Only thing that bugs me is calling Cust Svc. You need to speak to so many different departments to get anything done and most of them transfer you erroneously to other people. One time, I was on the phone with VZ for 1 hr and 40 minutes... about 1 hr and 10 mins was just holding while being transferred to 5 different people. They're just too big of an organization with an archaic way to route calls.

Story speaks for itself.
Navy SEAL Jon Tumilson's dog sits by coffin during funeral | Mail Online
Awesome, thanks for posting that. A reminder to all of us of the real heroes in the world! A big thank you to all of you on CF that have served!
That photo breaks your heart. God bless that man.
As an avid dog lover, that photo is very heartbreaking. I have 2 dogs of my own and love them both very much. Just goes to show how loyal a dog really is to his owner.
That is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Thanks for sharing the link.
Bravery, death, loyalty.....
So Im sorry to show some of my ignorance here but, those Navy Seals that died in the helicopter crash were the same ones that went in and got OBL.. Correct?
I'd imagine that some of them were on the Bin Laden mission, but the government won't say it to protect the families of the fallen. Doubt that anyone will release the names of those on the raid, at least not in the near future.
RIP Soldier. Heartbreaking pictures.

The members of Theta Zeta have several local projects each semester. Our first service project of the year is to volunteer to help the AAUW with their book sale in October. Then, near Halloween, we go trick-or-treating for children's books. We typically take flyers to neighborhoods near the campus announcing that we are coming around in costume for Halloween, but are asking for donations of books for children and teens instead of candy. Each year we collect several boxes of books as well as money donations; the books collected and those purchased with money donations are given to local organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club of Eau Claire and to the Literacy Volunteers of America. Trick-or-treating for books has been such a success that we plan to repeat the event each Halloween in another neighborhood.
Each spring semester the members of Theta Zeta run the Children's Writing Contest, an annual project in which we take submissions from western Wisconsin students in grades K-6, judge them based on creativity and quality of writing, and create a book of winning entries. During the spring of 2006 we expanded the project and created the Young Adults' Writing Contest to showcase the best of the 7-12th grade writers, also run each spring.
Children's Writing Contest 2006 Cover by Jemia MoserThe writing contests are one of the most entertaining and enjoyable experiences for the members of Theta Zeta. This past year alone we had over 700 submissions from all over Western Wisconsin. Each grade typically has 2-3 winners (selected by members of the Theta Zeta chapter and other interested English students). Each winner receives a copy of the winners book, an age-appropriate book picked by Sigma Tau Delta members, and a writing journal.
Submissions are typically due in early March. The winners are asked to attend an awards ceremony to be held in May during UWEC's English Festival where the winners receive their prizes and read their entries for the attendees.
We encourage all K-12th graders to submit their entries to Sigma Tau Delta as long as they follow some simple guidelines. We have updated our entry form and guidelines this year and have posted them on the Forms and Guidelines page of the writing contest.
Visit the Writing Contest Home Page for more information.
For many years, members of the Theta Zeta Chapter have attended the annual Sigma Tau Delta International Convention. For more information on the International Convention, visit the Sigma Tau Delta International web site.
From 2004-2007, members of the Theta Zeta Chapter have held positions of Midwestern Student Representative (SR) and Midwestern Associate Student Representative (ASR):
Traci Thomas Card, ASR 2004-2005, SR 2005-2006;
Daniel Hardy, ASR 2005-2006, SR 2006-2007;
Grant Tharalson, ASR 2006-2007.
In March 2008, Stephanie Schiefelbein was selected by the Sigma Tau Delta Board of Directors as one of two students nationwide to serve as a Student Advisor to the Board, a two-year term.
In addition, the current Midwestern Sigma Tau Delta Regent is the faculty advisor to the Theta Zeta Chapter: Gloria Hochstein.
Professor Hochstein was also the Convention Chair for the 2009 Sigma Tau Delta Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2006 Regional Conference Button
In the fall of 2006 the Theta Zeta Chapter hosted a Midwestern Regional Conference in conjunction with our chapter's 50th anniversary.
For many years the Theta Zeta Chapter has been sending books to countries all over the world. What we now call the Books Over Borders campaign began with a professor from Kemerovo University in Siberia, Russia, asking for books for her university. In 2005, the Theta Zeta Chapter hosted an inaugural event for the Books Over Borders project. As part of the campaign we hosted a benefit concert featuring talent from the UWEC English Department. With the proceeds, we sent books to Escuela San Miguel, a school in Nicaragua (for more information, visit their website). The concert was a lot of fun, and we hope to host such an event again. We continue to support the Books Over Borders campaign, having expanded our support to schools in Indonesia as well as Russia and Nicaragua.
More recently, and in conjunction with the Sigma Tau Delta Organization, Theta Zeta has participated in the Better World Books book drive, an effort to donate books to literacy-centered programs and to sell new and used books and textbooks online to fund literacy initiatives across the globe (for more information about Better World Books, visit their website,www.betterworldbooks.com).

Hawaii was reported to be the least stressed state in the country, not surprising.
In its fifth annual survey, the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index revealed 89.7 percent of Hawaiians experienced the most perpetual enjoyment in their paradise compared to 84.9 percent of Americans in other states overall.
Calculated through daily surveys with residents, Gallup found only 32.1 percent of Hawaiians reported to experience stress on a daily basis versus 40.6 percent of people in other states.
Residents in states which reported the least stress also experienced the most enjoyment than those in states which reported to feel less enjoyment and more stress.
There was one exception though. Utah surveyed to be in the top five states for both stress and enjoyment. Survey conductors are not quite sure what to make of their findings.
Here are the five most stressed-out states, as measured by the proportion of people who reported feeling stress "a lot of the day yesterday":
West Virginia, 47.1 percent
Rhode Island, 46.3 percent
Kentucky, 44.8 percent
Utah, 44.6 percent
Massachusetts, 43.4 percent
The five least stressed-out states:
Hawaii, 32.1 percent
Louisiana, 37.6 percent
Mississippi, 37.9 percent
Iowa, 38.1 percent
Wyoming, 38.6 percent
The five states that experienced the most enjoyment:
Hawaii, 89.7 percent
Wyoming, 88.8 percent
Utah, 88.7 percent
North Dakota, 87.9 percent
Idaho, 87.3 percent
The five states that experienced the least enjoyment:
Rhode Island, 80.4 percent
Kentucky, 81.3 percent
New Jersey, 82.0 percent
New York, 82.1 percent
West Virginia, 82.7 percent

Let's face it – teachers are often targets of stress-inducing criticism from nearly everyone they work with and for. But they aren't as unhappy with their careers as you think they must be! According to a new analysis of polling data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which measures physical and emotional health, job satisfaction and feelings of community and safety, being a teacher is ranked second only to physicians. Teachers ranked above all other professions in answers to questions about whether they "smiled or laughed yesterday," and whether they experienced happiness and enjoyment the day before the survey. These Gallup poll findings contrast with a MetLife survey of teachers last month, which reported job satisfaction at a 25-year low among teachers. The Gallup poll results, based on 172,300 interviews – 9,370 of them teachers – are not completely inconsistent with some of the MetLife findings. Teachers reported stress levels to Gallup that were similar to the MetLife survey. (New York Times)
The economy is getting better and better. We know that. But there are still more negative signs than positives overall. Despite that, a new Gallup poll finds Americans remain as upbeat about the economy as they have at any point in the last five years. Gallup says Americans aren't even deterred by the rising gas prices or the gridlock in Washington, D.C. over policies that will affect economic growth. The record highs in the stock market is also helping to keep confidence steady. The polling firm's Economic Confidence Index is based on Americans' rating of current condition and their assessment of whether the economy is getting better or worse. Gallup's tracking last week found confidence is on a upward trend. (Gallup)
Tell the kids; it may be time to expand their wish lists. U.S. consumers say they will likely spend more money on Christmas gifts this year compared to the amount they spent last year. According to a Gallup pol taken last week, consumers predicted they will spend an average of $770. About 30 percent of those surveyed said they would spend $1,000 or more. That's a slight increase over what survey respondents estimated last year. That points to moderately good sales season for holiday retailers this year. (Gallup)
A new Gallup survey finds that African Americans have the highest percentage of people identifying as homosexual in the U.S.
The organization interviewed 121,000 people for the survey and based on findings estimates that 3.4 percent of American adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. That number jumps to 4.6 percent for African Americans. Gallup called it the largest study of its kind ever.
[ALSO READ:In Their Own Words: Black Leaders Weigh in on Gay Rights]
In addition to the numbers, the poll also found some interesting information about the LGBT community.
"Contemporary media often think of LGBT people as disproportionately white, male, urban and pretty wealthy," said demographer Gary Gates, the report's lead author. "But this data reveal that relative to the general population, the LGBT population has a larger proportion of nonwhite people and clearly is not overly wealthy."
[ALSO READ:Obama Campaign Courts Gay Vote at Gay Pride Weekend]
The survey was conducted between June and September. It found 4 percent of Hispanics, 4.3 percent of Asians and 3.2 percent of whites who consider themselves part of the LGBT community. Overall, a third of those identifying as LGBT are nonwhite, the report said
The DNC started with a bang, and ended with the same momentum as the approval ratings for President Obama have surged in the aftermath of the Democratic National Convention. According to Gallup, Obama's approval ratings went from 45 percent to 52 percent in three days—the highest Gallup tracking poll percentage reported for Obama since May 2011, just after the killing of Osama bin Laden. Results released Friday also show a favorable growth for Obama in Gallup's tracking of the presidential vote preference question. Obama currently has a 3-point lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney (48 to 45 percent). Until now, numbers shown Obama ahead of Romney by a single percent point (47 to 46 percent). Gallup's poll numbers are based on interviews conducted with roughly 1,500 adults during the DNC. (Gallup)

Yes your right. I am trying to save some polys by not including it but maybe a back pack wouldn't hurt.
Hello, I'm a fellow game enthusiast, eager to make mods, play mods, and be a part of this community. My expertise includes 3D Studio Max, Maya, Photoshop, with experience in Illustrator, Premier, Flash,to name a few. I'm currently working on a mod for MegaGlest.
Yes your right. I am trying to save some polys by not including it but maybe a back pack wouldn't hurt.
Thank you for your complement!
Unfortunately, AI is not too customizable in Megaglest (the engine Annex is built on) and the AI will over produce units, however units it creates is random and inefficient, and many units not properly utilized so this is where the player has a big advantage.
Yep! Though a variation on the Aliance faction, so many of its units wil be similar to the Alliance, with some unique new units planned such as the commando and the ranger.
Ha yea, I think the republic is my favorite too :P
Never played COH but, many RTS/Mods have units like these.
They may also have an active ability too.
There is a lot of free space below the landing pads. Why not use it as extra storage?
Thanks! I can only hope :)
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Just don't bang your head against the rocket launcher...
Ha i was worried all people were repulsed by the "cuter characters"
Defiantly have more badass units planned for this faction. Hopefully I will have a chance to model them this weekend!
I wanted her to have Armored boots so I game them the blocky boots. Is it like a texture issue or just a bad idea in general?
Thanks! Infantry wise, there is still only 3 (conscript, AT Rifle, and Buster Rocket) However, with the exception of the harvester and 1 Air unit, vehicles are mostly done, so there is progress :)
I think i got the cuteness out of my system now, so next infantry units will be more badass than cute!
Thank you! And thanks for the advice!
Originally that was the idea, but it didn't work out in practice, as unit was far too overpowered, so I had to limit their effectiveness vs infantry. Now they are just under average vs infantry.
Ha ha, I will post a picture of le boom when i finsh it :)
Shes an adorable little villan :P
Thanks! Hopefully, voices will be much better in the future. Just need to get the right people :)
Thank you! Will let you know if we need anything!
I think it would be great to have more discussions from a forum. However my fear is having an relatively empty forum detur new users from joining...
This model is already has a lot of Polys so I don't want to go too crazy on details. But thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for feedback! Rifle is inspired by Barret M-95 (though i didn't know the name of it)
A bipod would be a nice addition, but unfortunately she cant fire from a prone position, Her model will be too big for the games grid and will have clipping issues. So gun can have bipod but it wont be able to touch the ground.
And I will move the scope :)
Thanks! Sickles were defiantly an inspiration for this unit!
Thanks! Its a nice contrast to the Alliance Humanoid Mechs.
Yea, it is for balancing, but It does seem silly. But I guess seeing an Guard with an M16 gundown a Fighter Jet can be silly too :P
I try to keep annex as optimized as possible and there should even more optimization by next release!

Time for a short paparazzi boxing break. Hayden Panettiere may be dating heavyweight boxing champ Wladimir Klitschko. Um-- well, I guess...this just doesn't seem like a possible anatomical pairing. Hayden is most famous for being an extremely good looking young lady. Oh yeah, she is also the star of Heroes.

(2-11) at Tulsa (6-5) 1/4/2014 | Tulsa, Okla. (Donald W. Reynolds Center) | Attendance: 1507
Related Links
Saturday, January 04, 2014 After an up-and-down first half, Valpo and Liz Horton (Cannelburg, Ind./Barr-Reeve) exploded in the second half. Unfortunately, by the time both find their stride, the deficit was too wide. Horton netted a career-high 20 points on 7-of-8 shooting (5-for-6 3-pointers). The senior opened the scoring for the Crusaders in the second half with her first trey of the game. She stayed quiet until the six-minute mark. With Valpo facing its largest margin of the afternoon at 69-49, Horton knocked down a three on a dish from Charae Richardson (Lafayette, Ind./Jefferson [Vincennes]) with 5:55 to play. The 3-ball was her first on three consecutive Crusader possessions spanning one minute and 16 seconds. Horton sunk her fifth and final three-pointer of the day with just over a minute to play. The second half was a stark contrast from the first. Tulsa scored the first seven points of the game. Valpo rattled off a 7-0 run of its own, tying the game at 7-7, 9-9, and 11-11. All six of Richardson's first-half points came in the first seven minutes to even up the contest. Tulsa went on a 18-6 run over the next nine minutes to establish a healthy lead. Tulsa's Kadan Brady entered Saturday's contest averaging 5.6 points per game. The junior dropped nine points in the first ten minutes and ended the half with 11. The Crusaders shot 32% (10-for-27) from the field in the first stanza, but just 1-of-9 from three-point land. The Golden Hurricane capitalized on 12 first-half turnovers committed by the Brown and Gold as they led 33-24 at the break. Valpo battled in the onset of the second half but was unable to make it a two-possession game at any point. Abby Dean (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) dialed up a three at the 18:28 mark to cut the deficit to seven, but it was as close as the Crusaders came. An 18-7 Tulsa run followed before Richardson brought an end to the rush. The Golden Hurricane pushed their lead to 20 and appeared to be on their way to more before Horton's deep-ball exhibition. Tulsa retained its double-digit lead for the entirety of the game. The Golden Hurricane hung on by a final score of 84-70 to improve to 4-1 at the Donald W. Reynolds Center. Richardson finished with 18 points for the second time in the past three games. The fifth-year senior also contributed six assists. Horton's career-best 20 points tied her with Tulsa's Ashley Clark for the game's scoring leader. Dean assembled a 14-point afternoon on 5-of-12 shooting. Saturday was her sixth game in double digits for Valpo this season. With non-conference play in the rear view mirror, the Crusaders (2-11) prepare for Horizon League action. Youngstown State (4-9) comes to town Thursday evening for a 7:05 pm tilt. Links for the audio, video, and live stats can be found at Valpoathletics.com. |
