    8A is fantastic, exactly what I'm looking for in a clue. I also got a chuckle out of 5D (for all us non-sportsball people), and I think 7A and 9A have nice misdirects for a double-def and hidden, respectively, two clue types in which it's generally hard to do so!

      Greetings solvers, and thanks for stopping by. I'm a little rushed for time right now, so here's a quick wash-up for the perplexed:
      ACROSS. 1A. "putting an end to salt" = T + corrosion = RUST. 4A. "Topped and tailed" = remove first and last letters + "flipping" = reversal of "unconscious" = ASLEEP. 7A. "was a part of Occupy protests" = SAT IN. 8A. "First surprising" = S + reversal of "chart" = MAP. 9A. Hidden in "texASSETtlements".
      DOWN. 1D. "in the direction of" = TO + "steamer" = SS. 2D. anag. PEARS. 3D. "Summer's first" = S + "fruit" = LIME. 5D. Double def. 6D. Upward reversal of "weights" = TONS.
