West Orange-Stark High School
NR (at CB): 2 SR: 5 Star Rating: *****
An Inside Texas conversation with West Orange-Stark offensive coordinator Randy Crouch on Deon Beasley:
IT: What are Deons strengths as a football player?
Crouch: Well, he was a wide receiver as a sophomore and junior here for us, and we knew he was special player by, not his athletic ability but just he had that look, that competitive spirit, so he played wide receiver for us for those two years. And then, for his senior year, we decided to play him at quarterback. My son had been the quarterback the two years he was a wide receiver and then we decided to play him at quarterback for a couple of reasons. Like I said, we knew he was special person. We thought he was a really strong leader, great competitive spirit, hated to lose, one of those type of people, and I think those are some super strengths for someone that age and maturity level. Then, when we put him at quarterback, we thought he was our best athlete and he could touch it every time and make something happen. He handled it very, very well. The thing also with Deon is unselfishness. We've asked him to do a lot of things here. He's played wide receiver, he's played quarterback, he's played defensive back. This past year we'd play him at wide receiver and put in another kid at quarterback just to get him in space to throw the ball to him where he could make a bigger play. I thought he was able to handle that and adjusted and did an amazing job for us this year.
IT: How much wide receiver did he play this year?
Crouch: Very little his senior year. He took almost every snap at quarterback except for a few games that we put him in on special plays and different situations, but primarily a quarterback his senior year.
IT: How often did he carry the ball?
Crouch: Well, we ran Texas' offense. Basically the zone read stuff, and he probably averaged between 18 and 25 carries a game, in that neighborhood. There were some games we hoped he didn't carry it as much, we didn't want him to, but he would. Again, he would make plays. I'd tell coach Foreman, Toby Foreman, our receivers coach, I'd say, Toby, tell him to make a play. [Laughs]
IT: On demand?
Crouch: Yeah. Go tell him to make a play, Toby. And it seemed like every time we needed one he would.
IT: One of the descriptions I've heard about him is he has a want-to to get the ball when the ball is in the air...
Crouch: That's right. I think in that Army game, the catch he made for the touchdown, he's like, if the ball is thrown in the vicinity, he's going to get it. He's that type of guy. I think that comes from the competitive nature and the want-to to get it. Just because it might not be right at him, or three yards this way, or five yards that way, or a little high, he's going to make whatever effort or find a way to get the ball. And he can do that.
IT: Did he play defensive back at certain down-and-distance?
Crouch: Oh yes, he played defensive back in a lot of situations, third and fourth downs, or when we had teams that were spread team that threw it a lot to get an added dimension on that.
IT: How frequently was he in the secondary?
Crouch: He was back there more than you think. A lot of people think he played quarterback all of the time, but in certain games, he'd play a lot of defensive back in situations because we could put him on their best receiver or the routes that they liked to run and we felt pretty comfortable. Ya know, if they're going to beat somebody, they're going to have to beat one of the better players in the state. That's always nice to have as a coach.
IT: Did he primarily come in at cornerback?
Crouch: He played safety, he played corner, he played different places depending week-to-week on where they needed him. One thing we do here, we coach both sides. Just because you play offense doesn't mean you don't have a defensive position because he was very valuable to us in a lot of roles. I know sometimes as a guy that works on offense, you say, Why is he in there (on defense)? [Laughs] Can we get him out. But he was instrumental in a lot of things.
IT: How's his footwork?
Crouch: He has some really good feet. Some of the best I've seen. He's very quick and has got great hips, flexibility. He's one of those guys -- I don't know how fast he is. A lot of people have asked, How fast is he? I don't know. He's always ahead of somebody. He's that type of guy.
IT: What did the Texas coaches tell you that they like about Deon?
Crouch: Well, I think his athletic ability and his quickness is exceptional. He's hard to touch in a phone booth, so to speak. He's got great quickness, he has good vision. As coaches say, he runs where they ain't. He runs to daylight. He finds an open spot. So those are some of his stronger attributes... He went to a lot of camps his sophomore year, his junior year, so he was able to get a lot of exposure and they could see the qualities in him. He's just an athlete that can play a lot of places. I'm not so sure he couldn't be a defensive back, or a safety, or a corner. He's just the type, wherever The University of Texas needs him, I think that'll he do the best he can to help them win another national championship.
IT: He's obviously been in an environment where he's played against very good athletes -- the U.S. Army All-American Game, camps and combines -- where he's stood out as well. Do you see that as indicative of his ability against comparable talent?
Crouch: Right. I think he's the type that when the competition is the stiffest, he's at his best. I think he's one of those guys. It's kinda like a relief pitcher, Hey, I want the ball in this situation. I want to be in there in the tough situations and I think that's what he'll do. I know there's a learning curve and experience and everything but he will do whatever it takes to get himself to be able to compete at that level.
IT: In recruiting, a lot of the focus on him, at least early on, seemed to be him as a cornerback, projecting him because of his speed and his body size and all that as a cornerback. Was there a time when schools started saying, Wow, this guy has got that offensive ability?
Crouch: I think as we got into the season and they started to see the offensive numbers that he was putting up, and how effective he was in open field running, and there were a couple of situations where they flashed back to when he was a junior and looked at tape when he caught the ball and what he did in the open field. I think that could have changed some people's minds. I know some other schools through the process, they were recruiting him strictly as an offensive player, but I think that was something that they looked at but, but I think that's what happened when they started seeing, we averaged offensively almost 50 points a game, and he got going, and he made so many big plays, and I think they just started saying, Hey, there might be something. He can play a lot of places.
IT: Going forward, do you see him playing on the offensive side of the ball?
Crouch: I think he can. I don't know 100-percent what plans Texas has for him, offensively or defensively. From what I understand, they're going to see what he wants to do his freshman year and evaluate where he can help the team. He's a real team oriented guy and I don't think he'll have any problem -- if they need him to be a receiver for them and help them, he can do that. Punt returner, kick returner. That's something that I didn't mention earlier, he can beat you a lot of different ways. I know he's going to a caliber of program, a caliber of team, a caliber of ball, he'll be playing against people of his own ability, but I think he can make a huge impact wherever they put.
IT: We had another coach describe Beasley as the ideal inside receiver...
Crouch: He is. He can find the open creases, he can get deep on you vertically. Football today, it was strictly in the pro ranks that they tried to get matchups personnel-wise, and it trickled down to college and now it's trickled down to high school. Now, you're looking for those matchups and you're going to have to put somebody on him that can cover somebody. It's not just to take up space, because he can run by 'em. He has a lot of tools.
IT: Was Deon a leader for you guys, and if so, how did he lead?
Crouch: Very much so. They're kinda like your kids because you're around them so much. They come in here in the ninth grade, and you see them every day during the week, and you take 'em to different functions and you watch 'em mature and you see 'em grow. I think the thing I will most appreciate from him, I think his mother did an excellent job raising him, his family, his grandparents from what I understand. Ya know, a lot of people can get caught up in this but he never changed. He's the same Kenneth Deon Beasley that I knew. He got more mature and stronger and everything like that, and got better, but the players didn't alienate themselves from him. They drew to him and I think that's something special. They respected him not only as a player but they knew what he stood for and I think that that's real important for young people, for anybody. From a coaching standpoint, you're always looking for people like that. I'll always remember him as that type of person. He always drew people to him. He has such a nice spirit and pleasant personality, so that was special.
IT: We hear so much, from the kids that are already in the program, but also the ones about to join the program, about the family atmosphere down in Austin. Given what you just said, how do you see Deon fitting into that?
Crouch: Oh, I think that, when I've gone to visit The University of Texas and their facilities and to watch them practice, you summed it up. It is a family atmosphere, it is a family environment and coach Brown and his support people and his staff do such a good job of making you feel at home. But also on the other hand, they know that production is real important too, and they balance that really well, and I think they do such a good job, they know who can handle that and when they can handle that and everything like that. I'm just real excited he's going to be in that. It'll help him mature even more.
IT: What's he working on right now to get prepared to arrive in Austin in June ready to play?
Crouch: He's been working very hard in the weight room trying to improve his strength. He's a track man, been running track. The thing about him was, it would have been real easy for him to sit back and say, I'm a pretty good player. But I've never seen that. He works constantly. His work ethic is extremely good. Sometimes at this maturity level you don't see that till they get older, but I think he knows the importance of working. And that's what I see. He's always trying to get an edge. He stays close in the track program, weight lifting, and he likes competition. He tries to stay sharp, so that's what he's going to continue to work on when he gets there.
IT: With all those positives, from a coaches perspective what is it that you see he needs to improve upon to succeed at the next level?
Crouch: He's getting ready to get involved with people that can play just like he can. The competition. And if he's a receiver, and they press you, being able to get off the coverage and have strength enough to be able to learn that. Because he didn't play any wide receiver this year, so if he's in that mold, that'll be a little learning curve. It's kinda like the ol' coaches saying, You learn from experience. I can tell you what's getting ready to happen to you, but until that guy does it to you, you don't really understand what I'm talking about. That's what he'll have to do. I think strength will probably be a big thing because the defensive backs are so strong and physical in that league. Ya know, in high school football you see it in the interior. At college football, you're going to see that with all 11 of them who can play physical.
IT: What did Deon mean to your football program?
Crouch: From an athletic standpoint, strictly from playing football, he was very important naturally. He made everything tick. He put a dimension in our program that we hadn't had here in the fact that, what are you going to do with him? He could beat you throwing, he could beat you running, he could beat you returning punts and kicks, but I think the thing I'll always take that he meant to this program was that he never changed. West Orange football was real important to him. The team was real important to him. It just wasn't, Hey, how can I make my stats look good, or How can I do this. He had a lot of attention put on him, but I think he handled it extremely well. He meant a lot to this program. The leadership and the way that he fought through -- I'm sure there were a lot of days he was kinda nicked up and bumped. I'd hold my breath sometimes, we'd get in those games and we hoped we didn't have to run him very much but we'd end up running him 25 times, and you're always hoping he gets up from that tackle because you knew how important he was to what you wanted to do. He never complained to me. He was always one of the first ones out there on the field. As years go by, and I've been in this thing about 30 years, you just don't come across many like that. You can coach a long time and never coach one like that.

Hi Friends!
I saw this adorable card made by Tami (who is a stamping goddess!) and had to try it myself,
so I used Saturday's sketch at Stamping 411.
(Since I totally missed the boat last week! LOL)
As Tami would say, "How Stinkin' Cute Is That?"
I hope I don't get the boot for using wiggle eyes...since they aren't a Stampin' Up! product. But you know how it is, you get 5 million of them in a tiny little bag...and these are almost as old as my kids (who are now grown). So. I gotta use 'em up on something and I thought they looked cute on this little dude.
Just couldn't waste that little heart, so it got stuck on the inside:
And then..of course I had to use the OWL stamp from this year's SAB set Punch A Bunch on the envie.
And there you have it. A case of OWL. Very contagious, I might add.
Stuff I used:
Stamps: Woodgrain background stamp, Sentiment: Pocket Silhouettes, Owl on envelope: SAB 2011 Punch A Bunch.
Papers: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, Woodland Walk DSP.
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Punches: Owl, 1 3/8 Circle, Small Scallop Circle, Word Window, Modern Label.
Other: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, Linen Thread, Crumb Cake button from Naturals collection, glue dots, Tombo glue, Dimensionals, Very Vanilla Medium envelope
NON SU!: Wiggle Eyes
Thanks so much for visiting!
Have a Happy Crafty Day!

Father Jeremy Driscoll has submitted his final diary entries from his participation in The Synod of the New Evangelization. Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, and Part V can also be found on the MAS journalism blog.
We continue with Father Jeremy's entry for October 26, 2012:
There is a lovely courtesy in the practice of the Synod that each day in he Hall at the opening session the birthday of people is announced, not just the Synod Fathers but us experts as well. I thought mine (October 24) would probably not be announced since there was no plenary session scheduled for that day, only work in small groups, but in fact they announced it the day before.
People clapped, and I had the pleasure of seeing the Holy Father also clapping and smiling, though I doubt he could spot me in the Synod Hall. In any case, both that day and the day of my birthday I had the good wishes of many, many bishops, and on my birthday itself Cardinal Gracias began our small group session with congratulations and the whole group sang Happy Birthday to me.
We had a full day of work in the small group: three and a half hours in the morning and two and a half in the afternoon. We were formulating amendments to the texts of propositions already formulated by ourselves and the other eleven language groups. I was able to argue for a clear expression on the liturgy and the liturgical year and also a mention of the important witness of monasteries in the New Evangelization. Again, the discussion and range of concerns was both interesting and edifying.
For birthday fun I actually had two parties. I don't know I've ever had that before. My friends and neighbors on the Aventin offered a pranzo with a few people I could invite. I decided to invite three African bishops with whom I was newly friends: Bishop Kussala from South Sudan, Bishop Libena from Tanzania, and Bishop Badejo from Nigeria. I also invited from Sant' Anselmo my dear friend P. Olivier Marie Saar from Senegal. I was calling it my pan-African party. At the last minute Bishop Badejo was called away to an emergency. I was sorry not to have his lively company, but we had a very joyful meal anyway.
In the evening Cardinal Levada had me to dinner in a splendid fish restaurant, together with Gabriel Ferruci, Monsignor Steve Lopes, and Father Steve, one of the priests from the Diocese of Orange. We had excellent food and company and cake with a highway flare on it and the whole restaurant staff was singing with the lights turned out in the room we were in. Gabriel ordered a fancy champagne at the end.
The next day we had no Synod meetings. The secretaries of each small group had to meet that day to collate all the suggested amendments. The rest of us had the day off.
Today and tomorrow are the last two days of the Synod. This morning we heard the second draft of the Nuntius (the Synod Message), and it was certainly improved. Different bishops read parts aloud in different languages, deepening once again the deep world-wide experience that we are all having of the Church.
After that and the lively and talkative coffee break, we heard from mostly lay people from around the world, sharing their experiences of work already underway and well developed in the New Evangelization. On Wednesday the Holy Father named six new cardinals, four of whom are present at the Synod. During the break I was able to congratulate two of them, one from Nigeria and the other from India, both very nice.
I came for lunch to the North American College and ran into Archbishop Wilton Gregory from Atlanta. He is not here for the Synod but for other meetings, but we had a happy reunion and sat together at table with Bishop Kicanas from Tucson and two Portland seminarians, Tim and Greg. We had a great lunch together.
I am writing this entry in Archbishop Kurtz's (Louisville) sitting room at the NAC, which he has been generously sharing with me. We begin our meetings this afternoon an hour later. I can tell from the sky that one of those big Roman rainstorms is brewing. It will probably break loose about the time we set out to walk back to the Vatican. Well, if the end is wet, that is fair. For the three weeks of the Synod the weather has been magic October: sunny and not hot. That is Rome at its best.

Frigidare oven not keeping accurate temp
Hi, I have an issue with an eight year old Frigidaire stove, the oven doesn't keep accurate temperature. I tested the temp sensor and it metered right (1100 ohms between terminals) and metered both elements (oven & broiler) and both were about 40 ohms. We went out and bought an oven thermometer and found that when set to 425 the oven will go to almost 500, then down to 350. When set to 325 it goes to 355. Any suggestions before I spend $140.00 on a new control board? :confused1:
nope, sounds like a new board is in the works. Although to make sure your sensor is not really the problem you should ohm it at different temps.

Legendary jazzman Johnny Otis has spent a lifetime at the center of L.A.'s black music scene as a composer, performer, producer, d.j., activist, and preacher. His energetic, anecdotal memoir, Upside Your Head Rhythm and Blues on Central Avenue, recalls the music, the great performers, and the vibrant culture of the district, as well as the political and social forces -- including virulent white racism -- that have shaped black life in Los Angeles. Resonating with anger, poignancy, joy, and defiance, Upside Your Head is a unique document of the African-American musical and cultural experience.
Upside Your Head recalls a 50-year career when it seems Otis either encountered, discovered, or performed with every significant figure in the early days of rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll, including Count Basie, Esther Phillips, T-Bone Walker, Big Mama Thornton, and Lester Young. Drawing on dozens of vignettes, personal photographs, and hours of taped interviews from the popular "Johnny Otis Show," Upside Your Head offers a moving tribute to the black community that gave birth to L.A.'s rhythm and blues. His stories celebrate the true roots in black culture of a distinctive American music while lamenting its eventual appropriation by the dominant white society.
Hodgepodge of essays, reminiscences, and radio-interview transcripts by LA.-based R&B drummer/concert promoter/songwriter Otis. Born John Veliotes in 1921 to a Greek-American family, Otis has become what he calls a "Black by persuasion." In the 50's, he was an important band leader in the L.A. area, promoting the careers of many musicians and vocalists; his own hits include the early 50's novelty number, "Willie and the Hand Jive." Here, Otis alternately blasts the American political landscape for racism and waxes nostalgic over the "good old days" of early R&B. But his political musings are simplistic ("Racism was the primary factor in the deterioration of African American culture," he says, as if the proliferation of new forms of entertainment had nothing to do with the decline of more traditional styles) and also somewhat odd (his constant referrals to "our people" while contending that no white can empathize with the black experience seem particularly strange since he himself is white). Moreover, readers looking for new information on the birth of R&B will be disappointed. Occasionally, Otis comes up with an enlightening comment on a musician he's known (he describes Count Basie's piano-playing as "a well-modulated style of plinks and planks that usually concealed the deep reservoir of heat that lurked just below the surface"), but more often his comments border on rosy-eyed nostalgia (a typical description of the early L.A. music scene: "Central Avenue was full of thrills at that time"). The author's lack of sympathy for today's performers - they're without "discipline and style" and replace musicianship with showmanship - may be on target, but he paints this picture with a mile-wide brush. Essentially a cranky look at politics and today's pop music. (Kirkus Reviews)

Overall the show was excellent, IMHO. A top tier lineup of guests.
(It should be required watching for MSNBC viewers. All 655 of them. )
I've never been a Hannity fan until now. But I appreciate his proactive involvement in defending our 2nd Amendment Rights.
He played an audio clip in which a lady in Georgia protected her two small children from a home invader and shot the criminal until her revolver was empty.
Would have been nice if someone pointed out that she only had 1 attacker, put 6 .38 rds in him and he still didn't go down but ran away.
If there had been two or more home invaders, if she had missed with a shot or two, she and her babies might not be with us now.
Makes a perfect case for hi cap magazines.

As far as the shooting demo on Hannity, I did have to watch it twice...the 2nd time to see what kind of guns were being used...I didn't see the guns at all in the first go round. (Heh-Heh)

Jessie Duff was great, She was not given enough time... but her rapid presentation was very good. They always do that on these shows... they have a half hour of filler fluff and then rush through the good segment. I especially liked the fact that she showed the destructive power of a 12 gauge... and stating "these aren't even on the list!"
My solution to the gun ignorance of the Fox new staff would be to get Megan, O'Reilly, Hannity, et al, out on the gun range for a day and give them some paper time!
MrColionNoir is awesome. I have been a subscriber to his channel for a while.
I have never like O'Reilly either. I think he's a pompous windbag, he constantly raises his voice when he should be reinforcing his argument. He shouts down his guests and is proud of it. I remember once he had Barney Frank on... He asked him one question and then yelled at him the whole time. Frank was rightly amused... I am certainly no fan of Barney Frank, but Bill was so disrespectful that I changed the channel... He treats everyone that way.. except the cuties, he talks down to them with a twinkle in his eye. Creepy really.

As for her saying the foregrip was the pistol grip- She said; "This is the "pistol" they want to ban."
I think she was just parroting what the AG libs call it; and wasn't calling it that herself. (At least, that's the way I took it.)
I for one, think she KNOWS her stuff well enough not to make a mistake like that.
Both of those vids were great. I'll be sending them to as many as I can.

Crude Logs First Session Loss in Six
NYMEX-traded crude futures marked their first session decline in six on Tuesday as traders awaited this week's update on U.S. petroleum supplies and mulled monetary comments from Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen on the course of the central bank's monetary policy. In her first testimony to Congress on Tuesday, Yellen said she would not make any abrupt changes to the Fed's monetary policy and the U.S. central bank will continue to taper its bond-buying program. Some downside momentum also came on expectations that crude oil demand will continue to slow as U.S. refiners enter maintenance season. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for March delivery finished down 12¢ at US$99.94 per barrel (/bbl) – still near a six-week high. Across the Atlantic, London-traded Brent crude rose slightly, supported by demand for heating oil, which gained on expectations that persistent cold weather in the U.S. will prompt another large drawdown in distillates. Frigid weather lifted heating oil prices, and U.S. RBOB gasoline futures saw some strength from traders unwinding the spread trade between the heating fuel and gasoline, according to some market observers. Front-month March Brent closed 5¢ higher at $108.68/bbl, widening Brent's premium to WTI to $8.74/bbl, from $8.57/bbl a day earlier. With the March Brent expiring at the end of floor trading on Thursday, the more actively-traded April futures contract settled at $108.18/bbl, up 22¢.
Natural Gas Bounces Higher on Cold
U.S. natural gas futures advanced more than 5% on Tuesday as short-term forecasts for another blast of cold and dwindling storage triggered buying that ended a four-day slide. Cold, wintry weather is forecast in the East and South over the next five days before much of the country warms over the next week or two. Brutal cold blanketing the Midwest early Tuesday drove real-time power prices to more than US$1,000 per megawatt-hour (/MWh) for about 30 minutes. For most of 2013, the average power price in Indiana – the most-traded hub in the Midwest – was $37/MWh. NYMEX-traded gas for March delivery climbed 24.5¢, or 5.3%, to settle at US$4.824 per million British thermal units (/mmBtu). In post-settlement, electronic trade, the contact continued higher – reaching $4.92/mmBtu, up 7%, at one point. Natural gas futures are up about 14% since the start of the year, prices are still down 3% since early February. In the cash market, next-day gas spot prices at Henry Hub gained around 10¢ to average $7.73/mmBtu in Intercontinental Exchange trade. Elsewhere, early consensus estimates for the week ended February 7 predict a drawdown in natural gas stockpiles of between 197 billion cubic feet (Bcf) and 270 Bcf – well above the year-ago and five-year averages for that week.

Maryland, 79 North Carolina 70
North Carolina Head Coach Andrew Calder
Opening Statement
"First, again, I want to thank Coach [Sylvia] Hatchell. She's been at a lot of practices lately and she gave the team a great speech yesterday about ACC play. It was really a tremendous speech and I appreciate her help. I want to congratulate Maryland. [They are] a very talented team [and] well coached. I thought they did a lot of good things out on the court. Alyssa Thomas is a tremendous player, but they had more than just Alyssa Thomas too. I thought they had a lot of players that played extremely well. As far as the Tar Heels, we did a lot of good things that we do like. I like the fact that we won the boards over Maryland. That's impressive. There are not a lot of teams that do that and we were one of those. I don't know if anyone else has done it this year, maybe UConn did, but we're very proud of that. We had 22 second-chance points; they had 13. We also held them below 40-percent shooting. That's another thing we did and that's our goal for the year. We had 16 turnovers. They got 20 points off turnovers and we got six. I thought offensively we did not execute as good as we needed to, and that's why we shot 38-percent. I do give Maryland some credit there, but that responsibility falls on me - to make sure we are executing on offense and that we are taking good shots and the right players are taking the shots. We had a great battle back. We were down 18 [and] came back [and] we played hard. We'll learn from this and we'll move on."
On Coach Sylvia Hatchell addressing the crowd at halftime
"That was great and she's been tremendous. I said I think she's been at every practice since we've come back except one. A great crowd tonight and we really appreciate them - the fans coming out and watching a very good basketball game. Two very good teams."
On playing Maryland close despite shooting a low percentage
"Field goal shooting, again, falls back on me. I thought we took some tough shots; I call those shooting turnovers. They are shots that are just very difficult to go in. But we did get to the line 36 times, which is impressive. That means to me that we were attacking. I know they went to the line 23 times but I think we fouled them four or five times at the end, so through the flow of the game they would have gotten to the line 15 times, and us 36. We're 20 for 36 at the line, but we'll continue to work on free throw shooting. We'll continue to work on the open shots we did get."
On missing open layups
"Well we practice those. We practice shooting layups numerous ways, actually. There's like 16 different ways you can shoot a layup. We just need to concentrate on finishing that shot and we work a lot on that. We got pads and we hit them. I'm happy that we got those layups. We may have missed them but I'm excited we got them."
UNC Player Quotes
Latifah Coleman, Jr., G
On her good game against Maryland
"It's not really Maryland, it's just the opportunity to play again. I'm glad I have the opportunity to come out and compete. We compete, that's what we work so hard for is to play this game."
Stephanie Mavunga, Fr., F
On her first ACC performance
"I was nervous a little bit before the game, because it's the first ACC game. As a freshman this is something new. I'd say it's good to have it already over with now. Because now it's not like it's the first time the next time I play an ACC game. So now I know how competitive it is and being a competitor it's tough to take a L, but we have to bounce back and we have to working."
Diamond DeShields, Fr., G
On how she prepared for Maryland
"I took it upon myself to come out with a positive attitude, as a competitor I'm upset that we lost but I'm glad to have gotten that out the way honestly. I had nerves before the game and I usually don't and I think it was because I've dreamt of playing collegiate basketball and now I'm here. It's just time for me to relax and do what my team needs to me do so that we can win games."

Al Qaeda attempts to use a sophisticated new bomb.
Published May 8th, 2012

The CIA and counter terrorism partners thwarted an attempt, by Al Qaeda, to use a sophisticated new bomb to destroy an airplane.
FBI forensic experts are studying the bomb in an attempt to determine if it would have gotten through airport security.
Authorities say that the terrorist plot was foiled before any flights were actually ever in danger.
This latest bomb improved on the so-called underwear bomb by containing no metal.

Summer Gatherings: Casual Food to Enjoy with Family and Friends by Rick Rodgers, features easy seasonal recipes like Soft-Shell Crab BLT Sandwiches; Fried Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms; and Spanish Burgers with Romesco and Manchego Cheese.
Makes 4 servings
It's pretty difficult to go through summer without at least one cookout with sizzling burgers hot from the grill. There's nothing wrong with the all-American version and all the fixings, but I am very partial to these pared-down, Spanish-inspired burgers. Romesco, a roasted red pepper pesto, goes perfectly with the beef, and sharp Manchego cheese may just usurp Cheddar as the ultimate cheeseburger topping. Add sliced tomatoes and lettuce if you wish, but frankly, less is more here to appreciate the flavors better.
Romesco Pesto
1. Build a fire for banked grilling in an outdoor grill. For a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash. Spread out the mound of coals into a bank, with one side about two coals deep, and the other side of the slope with a scattering of single coals. For a gas grill, preheat the grill on high. Leave one side on high and turn the other side to low. In both cases, you will have two areas for cooking, one hot and the other cooler.
2. To make the romesco, with the machine running, drop the garlic through the feed tube of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade to finely chop it. Add the almonds, red peppers, vinegar, paprika, and oregano. With the machine running, gradually add the oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the sauce to a bowl. (The romesco can be made up to 2 weeks ahead, covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
3. Working as gently and quickly as possible (overmixing compacts the meat and makes tough burgers), mix the ground round, salt, and pepper. Lightly form into 4 patties about 4 inches wide. Make an indentation, about 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch deep, in the center of each burger to help it keep its shape during grilling.
4. Lightly oil the cooking grate. Place the burgers on the hot area of the grill. Cover and cook, turning once, until the outside is seared with grill marks, about 2 minutes per side. Move the hamburgers to the cooler side of the grill and cover. Cook, turning once, until the hamburgers feel somewhat firm but not resistant when pressed in the center, about 4 minutes for medium-rare. If using a meat thermometer, insert it horizontally through the side of the burger to reach the center; it should read 125°F. During the last 2 minutes, top each burger with the cheese, and place the buns on the grill to toast lightly and warm through.
5. Place a burger in each bun, top with a large dollop of romesco sauce, and serve immediately.

The Lincoln County Sheriffs Office received two utility terrain vehicles and a trailer Tuesday and it didnt cost the taxpayers a dime.
But this time, Maxwell Off-Road and Kawasaki and Kohler Trailer Sales are donating the UTVs and trailer to the county, Kramer said.
The Kawasaki company has a grant available for law enforcement agencies, and Kramer said the UTVs will be used for about a year and then turned back over to Maxwells.
That process will continue as long as the sheriffs office needs to utilize the program, he said.
To haul the UTVs, Bob Kohler of Kohlers Trailer Sales provided a trailer at a much-reduced sales price. The money that bought the trailer was federal seizer money that was taken from a drug dealer, Kramer said.
Kramer said he will make the UTVs available to the Lincoln County Sheriffs Posse and other police agencies in the area. The UTVs could be used to search for missing persons, collect evidence, assist in crowd control at celebrations and patrol game and park areas.

The Graveyard Book, was Re: Odd and the Frost Giants
- From: Kurt Busiek <kurt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 18:43:59 -0800
Well, since I finished ODD AND THE FROST GIANTS, I've also read CHINA LAKE by Meg Gardiner and KIRBY: KING OF COMICS by Mark Evanier, but neither of them are SF. Both talk about SF -- the lead in the Gardiner novel is an SF novelist, and Kirby, of course, wrote and drew comics SF for decades -- but that's not the same thing.
I also discovered a surprise benefit of doing these posts. Neil Gaiman linked to my comments on ODD, in his blog, calling it a review. I dropped him an e-mail to say I wouldn't exactly call it a review, it wasn't really that formal. We ended up talking briefly about a very strange story we co-plotted over a decade ago, and he sent me a copy of the manuscript to THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, his new novel, which comes out in September. It'll be illustrated by Dave McKean, Neil's frequent partner in crime.
So last night, while shutting out the sound of Wolf Blitzer repetitively droning on about primary results, I got to read a novel I wasn't expecting to see anytime soon, and knew nothing whatsoever about.
I'll tell you this much, at least: It's terrific.
THE GRAVEYARD BOOK's title is an homage to THE JUNGLE BOOK, since TGB is about a boy whose family dies, and who winds up being raised in a graveyard, by ghosts, and the other things that lurk there.
The boy, named Nobody ("Bod" for short), learns many things, discovers odd places and curious people, deals hesitantly with the world outside the graveyard and eventually has to deal with the forces that killed the rest of his family, and who are still looking for him. I won't say much more about the plot, because hey, it's not going to be out for months.
But I think it's likely Neil's best novel yet. It has a great deal of warmth, whimsy, dark fantasy (verging on horror), adventure, charm, suspense, monsters, ghouls, a witch, school bullies, policemen, ancient burial mounds, knife-weilding killers, dancing, mystery, trouble, a dash of romance, life lessons, and a creature named Silas, who is both what he seems to be and not. And the most endearingly dangerous and threatening ancient terror you've ever met. The story's engaging, there's a real sense of menace, and it builds to a strong and satisfying climax.
The ghosts are a delight, and the sense of magic and possibility and things happening in the shadows is compelling and attractive. The writing is quite good, but not showy -- the story and characters take first place, always.
It's a short novel, under 70,000 words, and it works as YA, provided you don't mind YA books starting with dead bodies (including a child), bloody knives and a toddler in jeopardy, but it's not limited to that -- it's a book that'll be as satisfying for an adult to read as for a young teen, but they'll get different things out of it.
It's more in company with STARDUST and NEVERWHERE, in that it's an occasionally-dark fantasy involving a world one step outside our own, than with AMERICAN GODS and ANANSI BOYS (which are more about stuff intruding from the beyonds into our own), but written by someone who's had that much more practice than any of those. I could say it's "like GOOD OMENS meets A FINE AND PRIVATE PLACE" but, well, that's a facile and shallow comparison, so I won't.
In any case, this is a wholehearted recommendation. I like most of what Neil writes, but THE GRAVEYARD BOOK is very high up on the list, even so.

Currently up: BERTRAM OF BUTTER CROSS by Jeffrey E. Barlough, and probably CHINA LAKE by Meg Gardiner after that.
Unless I can't hold off on reading ODD AND THE FROST GIANTS, by Neil Gaimian, which just arrived yesterday...
Well, that went fast.
ODD AND THE FROST GIANTS is Neil Gaiman's offering for World Book Day, which he describes thusly: "A bunch of authors write books for nothing, and publishers publish them for nothing, and they get sold for £1 each to kids who have been given £1 Book Tokens, and the whole thing exists purely in order to get kids reading."
It's a slim book, 97 largish-print pages including illustrations -- which are by Mark Buckingham, artist of DC/Vertigo's comics series FABLES, and are quite nice -- and is the story of a boy who saves the world from frost giants, when his Norse village is caught up in unending winter.
It's a good year for young Norse folks saving the world from the unending winters of frost giants -- Jessica Day George's SUN AND MOON, ICE AND SNOW deals with a similar threat, though George and Gaiman handle it in very different ways.
ODD AND THE FROST GIANTS is an adventure story, though as with much of Gaiman's writing, it's a gentle adventure story in which words, wisdom, warmth, understanding and a sense of the appearances of things are more important than power, violence or destruction. The language is straightforward but carefully-crafted, and still manages an underlying flavor of Dunsanyeque fantasy, where things happen because they should happen, and nobody involved in it seems to find it odd. It's a very pleasant read, with some nice character humor, some mythic moments, and a satisfying conclusion.
It hasn't been published in the US yet, though it will be next year -- I got my copy from AMazon.uk, which is still selling the World Book Day edition for a pound, plus shipping.
Good stuff.

So I was watching BBC news last night, yes I watch the news
its on after pointless its interesting.
They were talking about drinking during pregnancy, so I thought I would share my thoughts on my blog, all views welcome, don't be shy.
Lets examine the evidence shall we?!
Alcohol brings nothing good to the table, fact.
In the UK you must be 18 to drink.
This country has a problem with under-age drinkers.
Nothing good comes from getting smashed. Ever.
A wine a day does not keep the doctor away, its just doesn't.
So with all the above information I find it interesting that people even consider drinking whilst pregnant.
Now I am, in no way a saint, far from it. However even my particularly useless brain can see that something you cannot have until you are 18 would be bad for a foetus.
I am sorry but that is just how it is.
Although I really hate the taste of most alcohol, I enjoy the odd cocktail and I am in no way against drinking, should you be the right age etc, however when you are carrying something so small, that relies on you for all sorts of shit, then putting alcohol down the hatch is not something you really want to do.
I don't think staying away from it for 9 months is really that much of a big deal?
Is it?
For me during pregnancy it was a massive no, nothing good would come out of something that does so much bad.
With the second I went through my diagnosis, trust me at times I could have used a stiff drink, however Beboo was more important than I was.
I once worked in a pharmacy, we did needle exchanged for users, one day a lady came in, she stank of alcohol, was blatantly on heroin and was heavily pregnant.
I kid you not, this happened and I was not allowed to say no, no needles for you.
I was left reeling and it still makes me shudder today. That poor baby.
From that point I vowed, that whilst pregnant I would never touch a drop, no matter how small.
So ladies, come on use that common sense and stick to the cravings!

I'm brand new to the forum. I've got a question.
Grace, our German Shepard/Rott mix just had 10 puppies this morning. We had no idea who the father was. Our other dog is a male small rott/pitt mix. He was neutered about a year ago but all of the new puppies look exaclty like him. Same color and exact same white star markings under their chest. could it be possible that he could have gotten Grace pregnant even though he was fixed??? Anyone ever heard of this??? we're baffled...
thanks for any insight on this subject.

This October, Jackass makes a return with a slightly different kind of movie. Johnny Knoxville + oldman makeup + a child in tow makes for some hilarious somewhat scripted antics that have more in common with the likes of Borat and Bruno.
Today, we've got a new poster for the film, which is clearly out to reference that massive shopping cart from the teams first big screen outing in 2002. Though in a slightly more languid fashion.
And if that poster doesn't give you a good enough idea on what the films about, here's the trailer.
Bad Grandpa is directed by Jeff Tremaine and stars Knoxville and Jackson Nicoll as the unfortunate kid. Catch it in cinemas (not in 3D this time) from the 23rd of October 2013.

Farmers: our industry needs young blood to survive
YOUNG blood is needed to revitalise the island's farming industry and give it a bright future, according to farmers.
YOUNG blood is needed to revitalise the island's farming industry and give it a bright future, according to farmers.
As the Royal Guernsey Agricultural and Horticultural Society cattle show got under way yesterday, farmers voiced concerns about the future of the industry and called for more States help to get younger people into farming.
Kevin Gaudion, 33, is on the managing committee of the RGA and was so concerned over what the future holds for the industry he set up a Facebook page. Called Help Guernsey's Young Farmers, it highlights the plight of those who wish to get involved.
There was interest from young people in becoming a farmer, he said, but barriers prevented many from doing so.
One farmer, Ray Watts, 68, said he though farming did not have that a bleak future because he has seen a change in the age of people getting involved.
Comments for: "Farmers: our industry needs young blood to survive"
I think there should be more of a focus on traditional local industries, such as farming, at school. It's part of our heritage after all, and should be properly understood and respected by all of us. Primary schools could run trips to dairy farms to learn about it, teenagers should be encouraged to do work experience on farms. Is there an apprenticeship scheme in place? Do farmers come to schools to talk about careers in agriculture?
I know plenty of my generation who went on to be tree surgeons or builders or whatever because they didn't want to be tied to a desk and they wanted to work outdoors. I don't think farming occurred to any of them, perhaps because they thought it was all about family run businesses and there was no room for newbies. I suspect many of them would have jumped at the chance had the opportunity presented itself.
While we're on the subject, I think we're missing a trick when it comes to tourism. The Guernsey cow is world famous, why not build a museum dedicated to it? With a tour of the Guernsey Dairy and a cafe on site selling cream teas and ice cream and local cheeses. Plenty of scope for child friendly learning and selling cuddly cows. I think it's worth a go!

When Allied and federated filed for bankruptcy, the together comprised the largest bankruptcy filing of all time.
It would be very difficult to find any country church, either denominational or federated, whose record for service is better.
The "federated church" obviates this difficulty to a certain extent.
But the editorial which he wrote on the federated Garment Trades was very creditable.
Like the Schulze-Delitzsch societies the Raiffeisen associations have federated.
Are you both interested in going to Chicago and personally applying for positions with the federated system?
If South Africa were federated it would be simplicity itself.
These are funds and federated or independent direction of their use.
It is federated and it owns its club-house, a small but pretty building.
Kindly express frankly your opinion of the federated church as a means of securing Christian unity and church efficiency.
1814 (implied in federated), back-formation from federation, or else from Latin foederatus "having a treaty, bound by treaty," past participle of foederare "to establish by treaty," from foedus (see federal). Related: Federating. As an adjective, by 1710.

6 Recommendations
lizbarker's recommendation
Before "Ys" I was sort of on the fence about Joanna Newsom; now I heart her with all my love. I think this is probably the only time in my life that I'll be obsessed with someone who plays harp.
My Collections:
Yardsale's recommendation
Incredible. Quite possibly the best of 2006. Definitely in top 10 for 2006 at least.
dancingfordimes's recommendation
Not that there isn't enough hype for this album, but while I initially avoided it after much prodding from cute girls in polka dots I finally gave it a listen. I have to say, it's different, it's difficult, and it's very much worth getting. Ys will take you to a place you probably haven't been before, a fun, intelligent, happy world that haunts you after you've put away your head phones. Don't listen if you don't like expanding your horizons.
ctashian's recommendation
Some people aren't into her voice, but I think of it like hearing a legend for the first time -- sometimes it's a little bit of a challenge. Joanna Newsom's songwriting is truly epic, her rhyming is just brilliant, the chord changes are great, the instrumentation and production is amazing.
baroquepop's recommendation
I don't believe the hype, but I do take note of the buzz, particular in this age of blogs and online reviews. And in that spirit, with Newsom showing strongly on my radar, I bought Ys at the time of its release. (I buy a lot of CD's.) Initially I liked and admired it, and tolerated her notorious squeaks and squawks. Today I was walking on the beach with the wind raging and the waves threatening, and I sung from memory all the words of Sawdust and Diamonds. I could pretty much do the same for the other songs too, and trust me, that's a heck of a lot of words! Yes, I've listened to Ys many times and show no signs of tiring of it. Ys is not for everyone, you can't dance to it, you can't play it at a party, but if you're game to find out why so many people, from classical nuts to indie hipsters, are obsessed with it - go ahead and try it yourself; but be sure to give it a few listens with an open mind. This isn't American Idol, it is a work by a seriously creative and talented artist. Music, poetry and expressiveness of the highest order.
AGirlNamedAvaAdore's recommendation
I think Bjork taught me that you don't have to have a perfect voice to be a singer.

text: Continuing with my color combo challenge. I actually did not own ANY pieces in the next set of colors on the primary colors chart (a kind of Robin Egg Blue and a lighter version). In fact, except for some turquoise blues, most of the blues in my wardrobe are within the same shade or family (if colors have families…). So I took two blues and made this outfit. I'll probably do another blue outfit using different pieces because I actually like wearing a whole bunch of blues in one look. Fun! I'm not sure what the official name of these blues are, so I'll just stick with dark and light blue.

Book Talk: Tristram Riley-Smith explores the American dream
By Paul Casciato
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - British anthropologist and civil servant Tristram Riley-Smith's posting to Washington led him to consider the forces which have shaped U.S. society and whether the struggle to define and preserve liberty has become a curse as much as a blessing for modern-day America.
In "The Cracked Bell: America and the Afflictions of Liberty" Riley-Smith sets out to paint an even-handed portrait of the United States with the clinical scrutiny of his anthropological training, exposing its mythology and analyzing the genuine virtues upon which American society rests.
A: I was talking to an old friend of mine, the British film director Graham Baker, and he told me that I guess back in the 1970s, when he was about to go to LA for the first time, he had read a book called "The Americans" written by a Brit called Geoffrey Gorer and he recommended it to me. To my surprise I discovered that Geoffrey Gorer was also a social anthropologist and like me he had done his research among Himalayan tantric Buddhists and then like me he found himself posted to the British mission in Washington D.C. In his case, it was during World War Two and in my case during what I suppose would become the global war on terror.
A: I think I would say for the intelligent layman. It is most definitely not a book of scholarship. It is not designed for scholars. I very deliberately avoided footnotes. It is rich, packed with material and information. Stylistically the individual who influenced me was Peter Ackroyd, thinking about the books he's written whether it be "London: The Biography" or "Albion: The Origins of the English Imagination." Those are not books written for scholars, but they are books written for intelligent laymen.
A: The reality is that the questions I ask about the balance between freedom and social justice, which then inevitably bring us to questions about the individual versus the state, these are questions that to a lesser or greater degree separate Republicans and Democrats in America. Certainly they are used as bullets to fire at one another and therefore the fact that I have raised the question is likely to make my book more amenable to a Democrat readership. The American poet Cole Swensen said when she read the book: "At least 50 percent of Americans are going to enjoy this." Continued...

Kai Ryssdal: The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the bubble tonight in their NBA playoff series against Orlando. The Cavs are down three games to one. And if they can't pull it out, Nike and Glaceau VitaminWater would be among the losers too. For months, those two companies have been hyping a hypothetical match-up between Cleveland's LeBron James and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, assuming both teams make it to the NBA Finals. Joel Rose reminds us that advertisers love a good rivalry, even if they have to make one up.
JOEL ROSE: In the VitaminWater ad, fans in L.A. and Cleveland argue back and forth about who's better, LeBron or Kobe.
VitaminWater AD: Inside. Butter! Outside. Handles like a dream! My man is a nightmare to cover...
The ad doesn't mention the NBA Finals by name. But it still sends the message that basketball's two biggest stars are poised to meet on the league's biggest stage for the first time.
PAUL Swangard: That's always what brands are looking for is to be relevant with their consumers. And there's probably no more relevant story in the NBA right now.
Paul Swangard teaches sports marketing at the University of Oregon. He says advertisers find that kind of drama irresistible.
Swangard: You'd almost be silly not to fan the flames of that emotion, because it just continues to connect your brand to that excitement.
Nike also has a high-profile ad campaign starring LeBron and Kobe as puppets. The hype has apparently been good for the league: TV ratings for the playoffs are up more than 10 percent over last year. But if the marquee match-up doesn't happen, advertisers can wind up looking silly. Just ask Reebok.
Reebok Ad: Dan can throw a discuss 172 feet. Dave can long-jump.
Reebok spent millions hyping the showdown between Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, only Dan didn't wind up qualifying for the U.S. Olympic team. Industry observers say advertisers have probably learned from that mistake. Ben Sturner is CEO of the Leverage Agency, a sports marketing firm.
BEN Sturner: I'm sure Nike has a plan B. They're smart. They're not putting all their eggs in one basket.
Still, it's a safe bet advertisers will be rooting for the Cavs tonight.
I'm Joel Rose, for Marketplace.

The Trudeau camp has already drawn up its road map to 2015.
Everything that Justin Trudeau does between now and then, if he wins the Liberal leadership on Sunday, will be with an eye to the next general election. The details of the plan are being closely guarded: Mr. Trudeau and his advisers feel it would be presumptuous and arrogant to publicly speculate on their strategy for the future ahead of the final results of the race.
Speaking with a wide variety of Liberal sources, however, The Globe and Mail has pieced together what they believe to be the eight major challenges facing the front-runner in the race to lead the party after three successive electoral defeats. Over all, the goal is to avoid the trappings of the Ottawa bubble and focus the party's energy on the next ballot.
Mr. Trudeau has many things to do on Monday, from asking his first question to Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the House of Commons to staffing his parliamentary office. However, he can be expected to quickly lay out his priorities for the future when he makes his most crucial announcement: the Liberal Party's campaign team for the 2015 election.
1. Start right away to fight 2015 election
The Trudeau camp needs to get its election team up and running as soon as possible. The core members of his leadership bid, having shown their mettle during a seven-month-long campaign, are expected to focus on the next election instead of running his leader's office in Ottawa. Top advisers and organizers such as Gerald Butts, Katie Telford and Robert Asselin are set to guide the Liberal Party and Mr. Trudeau's long-term strategy, rather than manage the day-to-day operations of parliamentary affairs. Mr. Trudeau plans to stick to the disciplined, hard-work ethic that has been successful for him so far, while allowing his team to grow to absorb new talent.
Liberals feel that Canadians will want to know that Mr. Trudeau can perform in the House, but the priority will be to continue meeting with voters across the country, showcasing his commitment to learning his job and offering a positive alternative to the Harper government. Mr. Trudeau will benefit from the fact that as the leader of the third-place party in the House, he will not have the same obligations or opportunities as the Official Opposition NDP to keep the government in check, which will free him up for politicking outside of the Ottawa bubble.
2. Concentrate on fundraising and modernizing the party
The Liberal Party of Canada is a relic of the past, carrying a complicated structure of provincial and territorial wings. Past efforts to reform the Liberal Party have met much internal resistance, leaving the organization heavier and more decentralized than the Conservative Party of Canada and the NDP.
Mr. Trudeau and his team are well aware of the need to change their party, but they don't want to reignite past tensions for the sake of it. The goal remains to be focused on the next election, which means ensuring that the party is the most effective campaign tool possible. One key challenge will be to mesh Mr. Trudeau's campaign organization with the party structure. Mr. Trudeau has already attracted thousands of volunteers who will be working to get him in office, and he needs to use his strong social-media presence to the benefit of the entire party. The hundreds of thousands of supporters who signed up during the leadership race will also continue to be solicited for money and policy input.
Money is a key ingredient of modern politics, and the Conservative Party has easily beat its opponents at the fundraising game for years. The funds have allowed Mr. Harper's team to wage large-scale advertising campaigns, but Mr. Trudeau has proven an adept fundraiser during his own leadership bid. His campaign is vowing to transfer about $1-million in unspent funds to the Liberal Party, and he plans to continue amassing money at every opportunity, although the Liberals are not expected to catch up to the Conservatives in the short term.

single leaf spring
Has any one put a single leaf front spring in an early ford? I have a '38 that I want to lower 2 to
3 inches. Are they safe? How does it ride? If not,
how about a reverse eye Posie spring? How much drop will I get and will I have to modify the steering at all?
I have replaced my old leaf pack with mono leafs that I bought from Custom Classics in Calif. I installed them on my 63 Ford stepside. It lowered my ride by 4". I have not completed the rod to drive it but they feel really firm and I believe it will ride OK. I did not want to change up the suspension much as I wanted to keep the old truck as close to original as possible. This provided an easy avenue for me to lower the frame and get the look I wanted. I also added disc brakes from one of their kits. I did not experience any interference with my steering box in using them. I realize this is a much later model vehicle than the one you are working on, but hope this helps anyway. I plan to do my 36 Coupe next and will look at more options for front and rear end retrofits.
The mono leaf spring will usually ride better . Multi leafs must rub against each other as the suspention goes up and down . FRICTION ! Monoleaf has nothing to rub against -no friction . Plus to make up for a lack of a stack of springs , the monoleaf uses a stack of spacers that you can place on top of or under the spring to get the ride hight you desire . Also , use a good set of adjustable shock absorbers and fine tune the ride. Not much use in having a good riding spring and crappy riding shocks.
Street rodder, June 1990, ran a feature on a
46 chassis they dropped 3", using a bolt in
crossmember from Valley Vintage Rods in
Ventura California. Maybe they have one for your
38.Good luck.
