How to Peel an Orange Quickly
This article will show you how to quickly peel an orange, leaving very little rind.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Have an orange of your choice ready for peeling.
2Make a small cut into the side of the peel with a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut into the fruit of the orange.
3Insert a metal spoon underneath the peel through the opening made by the knife. The spoon should have a gentle curved bowl for the best effect.
4Slide the spoon around under the peel and remove the peel in several large sections
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- This can be done without a spoon, good for carrying a prepared orange for a snack:
- Use the sharp knife to cut a small slice from the top of the orange
- Make about 6 longitudinal cuts through the peel only, not into the flesh of the orange, from the top to near the bottom of the orange
- When ready to eat, start peeling the marked sections of rind down one at a time, leaving the base intact. With a thick-skinned orange, the skin will come off in one piece, as an attractive saucer for the fruit
- Separate the segments by poking a finger or thumb down the center of the fruit and pulling apart.
- Enjoy!
- Be careful of squirting juices.
- Be sure to cut with the knife pointing away from your body, in case that you slip.
Things You'll Need
- A sharp knife
- A metal spoon

Hey, Beatles fans, looking for that perfect Christmas gift? As this paper's self-appointed, unofficial Beatles archivist, I offer to you this shopping season two items of Fab Four interest.
Recently, The Fame Bureau, a London auction house, announced it would be putting up for sale an early master tape of the band. The 10-track demo tape might be one of the most legendary recordings in Beatles lore. Manager Brian Epstein arranged for a meeting at Decca Records on New Year's Day in 1962 with the intent of landing the group a recording contract. Decca executive Dick Rowe was not impressed and, in one of the worst business decisions ever, turned him down.
"Guitar groups are on the way out," Rowe told Epstein and added the group "had no future in show business." (If Rowe were an executive in today's business climate, he likely would walk away with a big bonus.)
Epstein took the master tape to EMI, which signed the group that soon went on to dominate not only the world of popular music but popular culture across the planet. To Rowe's credit, he did manage to sign the Rolling Stones soon after that little lapse in judgment. I wonder if he got a bonus for that?
An executive for Capitol Records (EMI's subsidiary in the U.S.) wound up with the tape and sold it to the current owner, a buyer for the Hard Rock Cafe chain, who bought it for his own personal collection. The tape is marked "Silver Beatles," which was the name of the group at the time. It comes with a handwritten track list and a black-and-white picture of the group wearing leather jackets, which was to be used as the album cover photo. The entire package is expected to sell for at least $30,000 at auction.
If you are Beatles shopping in a less pricy range, or if you can't make it to London for the auction, you can get the newest in the perpetual line of Beatle reissues. Just in time for the holidays, all 12 of the Beatles original British albums have been released on vinyl in a big box set. Not only do the British albums contain more songs than the American versions, but the songs are arranged as the Beatles originally planned.
My theory of why this is so is who some executive at Capitol Records — maybe the same guy that owned the Silver Beatles master tape — decided if they put fewer songs on the albums, after two or three releases there would be enough unused songs to make another album, which they then could sell to eager American fans. That guy probably got a big bonus for that idea.
The records have been pressed on 180-gram vinyl, which is what all hip audiophiles want in a record these days. My old Beatles records are between 120 and 140 grams, which was standard back in the day. Apparently, the thicker vinyl keeps one side of the pressing from "bleeding" onto the other side ,thereby producing a higher fidelity sound quality. Also, the thicker vinyl helps avoid warping. The box set comes with a big coffee-table book. Of course, it would help to have a turntable, as well. The price is — well, if you are a Beatles fan, does it really matter?
My friend Randy introduced me to the theory of the "Star Wars Tax." He is a collector of all things connected to that particular movie franchise and takes it as a given that, every so often, the company that owns the rights will come out with some new item that collectors happily will buy.
I told him there was a similar "Beatles Tax" in operation. I am sure that deep in the belly of some huge conglomerate, a big executive decided that a periodic release of Beatles memorabilia would be a cash cow. And I'll bet that executive got a big bonus for the idea.

Ilse Marie Washington, affectionately known as 'Oma,' passed away Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014. She was 92.
Born in Nuremberg, Germany, Ilse was a secretary for an insurance firm in Munich.
In Ilse's early 20's, she met the love of her life, her husband, Daniel Charles Washington, an American soldier. After a long courtship, they married and moved from Germany to Fort Dix, N.J., later residing in Burlington, N.J. Sgt. Washington retired from the U.S. Army after 20 years of honorable service. He unexpectedly passed at the age of 52.
Years later, Ilse met Willie Keyes, who was a devoted friend and companion until his passing in 1998.
One of Ilse's proudest moments was becoming a U.S. citizen in 1965. She took her civic duties very seriously and was actively committed to her community. She was an active member of the LaGorce Square Civic Association and The Burlington County Democratic Club. There was rarely an election that went by that she wasn't found working the polls.
Ilse was a member of The Fort Dix Chapel, where she was baptized and served for 42 years. She loved her Fort Dix Chapel family and served faithfully as Lay Reader and brightened everyone's spirit with her warm smile as a greeter.
In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Sigrid.
Those who will continue to cherish her memory are her daughters, Manuela 'Bunchy' Shannon (Sam) and Diana Wright (Lybrant); a son, Chester 'Jesse' Washington (Sharon); her grandchildren, Anthony 'Tony' Miller (Deanna), Deborah 'Debbie' Miller (Brian Pennington) and Mikaela Wright; and a great grandson, Noah Miller; along with a host of extended family and friends.
Her Life of Celebration service will be at 7 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 24 at The Tabernacle Baptist Church, 150 E. 2nd Street, Burlington, N.J., where family and friends are invited to attend her viewing from 5 p.m. until the time of service. Interment will be at 10:30 a.m., Monday, Aug. 25 in Beverly National Cemetery, Beverly, N.J. W. R. Woody Funeral Home,

Predatory Lending Bill Dies
Ray Carter The Journal Record, THE JOURNAL RECORD
A bill targeting "predatory" lending failed to pass the House Banking and Finance Committee on Tuesday due to concerns that the measure would target many financial institutions that do not engage in the activity.
House Bill 2144, by Rep. Opio Toure, D-Oklahoma City, would make certain "high cost" home loans illegal, based on a wide range of factors, including interest rates and payment schedules.
The measure failed on a 6-9 vote.
Toure said some of his elderly constituents have lost their homes due to unscrupulous lenders who convinced those people to refinance their homes with loans they could not repay.
Because elderly people have often been the victim of predatory lending, the American Association of Retired Persons endorsed Toure's bill.
Toure said his bill is not designed to prevent banks and credit unions from approving loans to the "subprime" market, which is comprised of people with troubled credit histories.
He said the bill was a "work in progress" that would continue to change as it made its way through the system.
"What you have at this point is a draft," Toure said, adding that no detail in the bill was "set in concrete."
But several lawmakers said they feared the bill could harm the subprime lending market. Rep. Fred Perry, R-Tulsa, said the bill could cause lenders to pull out of the subprime market, leaving many poor Oklahomans without access to funding.
"We could make it difficult for some of those folks to buy a home," he said.
Toure said he did not want the bill to destroy the subprime market, noting that over 50 percent of the loans in his district are considered subprime.
"There's a tightrope that we have to walk and make sure we don't dry up sources of funds for consumers" while driving predatory lenders out of the market, Toure said.
But financial officials said Toure's bill was too broad and would have a chilling effect on subprime lending.
"There isn't anybody in this room who can define, with any precision, what is and what isn't a predatory loan," said Roger M. Beverage, president of the Oklahoma Bankers Association.
He said most people agree that a "predatory" loan is designed so the borrower cannot pay back the loan and the lender can seize the property involved.
Most banks, credit unions, and savings and loans wouldn't provide that type of loan because of regulatory oversight, he said. And Beverage noted that there have been no accusations of predatory lending levied against any state-chartered or federal-chartered financial institutions in Oklahoma.
One lawmaker said the bill could cause new regulatory headaches for lenders. Rep. Loyd Benson, D-Frederick, noted that Toure's definition of a "high cost" home loan differed from the federal definition, which would force Oklahoma lenders to meet two different standards for the same activity. …

Strawberry visits Tuckahoe Little League
Citizen Staff Reports 02/22/2016
The Tuckahoe Sports' Titans baseball program hosted its inaugural lead-off banquet at the Hilton Short Pump Jan. 17, featuring former Major League Baseball superstar Darryl Strawberry as keynote speaker. The event focused on the organization's leadership group and community service projects.
Strawberry, who was an eight-time MLB all-star and four-time World Series champion, gave the keynote address. He urged attendees to be positive mentors, and to seek the advice of positive mentors, and to seek out their purpose in life while helping others along the way. He later signed autographs for all those in attendance.

Athlete of the Week – July 3: Kayla Sell
By Ryan McKinnon, Special to the Citizen Athlete of the Week
Kayla Sell, Henrico High School's volleyball captain, has grown up around the sport. Her parents play on teams at the Richmond Volleyball Center, and Sell began playing there herself when she was 10. She played all four years at Henrico while playing on a club team as well.
"I just kind of grew up around the sport," she said. Sell now also spends her evenings reffing adult league games at the RVC. "The volleyball community in Richmond is a great community. We're inseparable," she said.
Sell, who is 6-foot-4, was elected captain of her high school team in 10th grade. She said that one of the highlights of her high school career was watching her team grow in skill during the past four years. > Read more.

Deep Run, girls' lacrosse
By Ryan McKinnon, Special to the Citizen
Rachel Haslip, head coach of the Deep Run girls' lacrosse team, handed each of her players a puzzle piece one day after practice. Each piece had the girl's name written on it. When the girls assembled the puzzle, they saw the word that Haslip had emphasized all season long: one.
One, as in one team one unit, one goal, was the theme of this year's team. The team reached the state tournament, where it fell in the semi- finals to the eventual state champions, Stonebridge.
The message of unity had been issued by Haslip, and the team bought in, largely due to the skill and leadership of junior captain Sydney Whitaker. Whitaker laughed when describing the puzzle demonstration. > Read more.
Steward School's Enright drafted by NY Mets
Citizen Staff Reports 06/15/2015
Steward School senior pitcher Nic Enright was selected by the New York Mets in the 19th round of the Major League Baseball draft last week. Enright, 18, was named the Gatorade Virginia Player of the Year after going 6-1 with a 0.79 earned run average with 50 strikeouts and just nine walks in 44.1 innings this season. He helped the Spartans to a 15-8 overall record and a berth in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division 2 state semifinals. Enright was a four-time VISAA Division 2 First Team All-State selection.
Enright was a Perfect Game USA Preseason Third Team All-American and led The Steward School to the state title as a junior, in addition to leading the EvoShield Canes to the 2014 World Wood Bat Association championship last summer. > Read more.
Athlete of the Week – June 12: Claire Frank
Godwin H.S., varsity girls soccer
Soccer is the main topic of conversation at the Frank family dinner table each night. Claire Frank, a junior midfielder at Godwin, shares the field with her younger sister Paige, and her older brother played at Hampton-Sydney.
"All we really do is play soccer," Claire Frank said.
Frank said that she has looked forward to playing with her sister for years because the two know how to push each other in practice and connect with each other on the field. In the regional game, Claire provided the assist to Paige's goal. Despite the fact that Claire is the older and more heralded player, Paige is not afraid to call Claire out on the soccer field. > Read more.
Athlete of the Week – June 5: LaChyna Roe
Henrico High School track standout LaChyna Roe watches the same movie before every race: Secretariat.
"I've probably watched it over 40 times," she said. "I don't think anyone on my team has seen it; I just watch it by myself."
The movie, which tells the story of the Triple Crown-winning horse whose records still stand today, serves as inspiration for Roe. > Read more.
Athlete of the Week – May 29: Patrick Hulihan
Deep Run H.S., varsity baseball
Patrick Hulihan, an undefeated pitcher for Deep Run High School's top-seeded baseball team, credited two unlikely factors as being key to the team's success this year: A group chat and "The Whip."
The group chat, which began after a win against Freeman early in the season, is a players-only text during which they can reflect on what went well and what went poorly after games. Although players do joke and brag occasionally, Hulihan said the tone of the group chat is serious. It is a place to talk baseball. Before games however, the mood lightens. Players gather in the outfield and dance. Hulihan said "The Whip," a move popularized by Odell Beckham's touchdown celebrations and countless youtubers, has become the dance of choice for Deep Run's squad.
The unity demonstrated by high school boys dancing in an outfield has been the difference between this year's team and last year's. > Read more.

Western Classical Music in Modern India
Sood, Akhil, Musical Opinion
We are pleased to carry this most interesting report from one of India's distinguished arts commentators on a subject which is little considered in the West.
Contrary to popular perception, there exists a burgeoning movement of western classical music in India, with local as well as well-known international performers presenting concerts regularly at venues across the country, and a growing appreciation of the finer nuances of the art form. "One aspect that sticks out," says Andrew Watkinson, violinist of the renowned Endellion String Quartet, "is that the average age of the audiences is much younger in India. In Europe, the age is particularly high, especially for quartets." The Endellions performed in India as recently as October 2010, playing at the Beethoven festival at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai, as well as at venues in Bangalore and Delhi. He states that there is a growing awareness among those involved in music education in Britain about the state of classical music in India: "Conservatories are taking notice, and each year they send associates to recruit students from India." Having performed in India in 1998 as well, Andrew notices that there is a noticeable increase in the appreciation of the classical arts. 'There's a feeling that India's a very energetic country pushing forward."
The NCPA
The NCPA, in Mumbai, is considered India's foremost multi-cultural centre which provides a distinguished platform for the performing arts, and has invited the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, The Kodaly Quartet, The Ebene Quartet, The Endellion Quartet, amongst many others. It has also hosted the London Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, providing Mumbai audiences with exceptional exposure to some of the greatest foreign performers. "Western classical music is gaining popularity as India becomes part of a global community, because all music of all kinds will eventually become our collective global heritage. We must seek to expand the number of people we touch and create a universal appreciation for this universal art form," says Khushroo Suntook, the NCPA Chairman. The NCPA has undertaken several projects to increase musical appreciation. In 2009, the NCPA organised a series of lectures titled "Understanding Western Classical Music", which was received with a tremendous response, explains Khushroo. There are also several ongoing initiatives which reach out to parents of children who are learning music as well as adults who attend speciallycrafted lectures in music appreciation.
The Symphonic Orchestra of India
In 2006, Khushroo collaborated with eminent Kazakh violin virtuoso and conductor Marat Bisengaliev, putting together an international ensemble of musicians from India, Kazakhstan, Russia, and other parts of the world, forming the Symphonic Orchestra of India (SOI), India's first fully professional orchestra. The repertoire consists of a wide variety ranging from classical to modern-era music, as well as ballet, chamber music, and musicals, and in June 2010, the orchestra made its international debut, performing at the Fifth Festival of the World's Symphony Orchestras in Moscow.
Marat, who is the Music Director for the SOI, explains that the orchestra was created keeping in mind the lack of sophisticated infrastructure in India and to promote the culture of classical music in India. Aside from the orchestra, Marat also handles the educational aspects, training students and incorporating western teaching methods to enhance the creative scope of the musicians in India. He has incorporated the Suzuki method of training, which helps young students master string instruments. Other educational ventures undertaken by the NCPA, apart from the series of lectures, include individual training by the Quintet in Residence, Ensemble Training led by Marat and assisted by Zane Dalai, the conductor-inresidence for SOI, and a weekly series of lectures on appreciation and history of classical music held for Indian musicians. …

Other items donated this year include: The Donnas signed vinyl album; a T-shirt autographed by Joanne Woodward; a prop stake from the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer;" an Asian influenced Xylophone; vintage Sarah Lawrence jersey and cap; a Japanese tea set; film posters and stills donated and autographed by Edward Norton; four tickets to "Saturday Night Live" and four tickets to "The Conan O'Brien Show."
The Sarah Lawrence Students for Student Scholarship Fund helps bring students in need to Sarah Lawrence with funds raised through campus events. Since 1958 the annual auction has been the students' largest fundraiser. "SSSF supports students who would not otherwise be able to have an academic experience like Sarah Lawrence College," says senior and event coordinator Amanda Fowler. For further information, an updated list of items available at the auction, or to donate an item, please call the Student Affairs Office at Sarah Lawrence College, (914) 395-2575.

We were put in a cramped space with campers close on both sides. The "view" was of the garage and workshop. Dogs and children were running loose. The park had a Labor Day celebration for families that turned into a drunken party for adults. Our site was 20 meters from a pavilion in which a loud, drunken card game is still going on at 1a. The owner is nowhere to be reached. I will be demanding my money back for this experience. - Bill V3
May 2013 - $39.00
We stopped here on opening day of the season. The owner was very honest that 70 sites were seasonal, 20 were for overnighters, and the rest cabins and tents. It's nice they keep openings for overnighters. The lakefront is beautiful, but sites are all seasonal. The owners were very nice. The Wi-Fi was sooo fast - very good and bathrooms weren't THAT bad. Again, we were here before all the seasonal. I would recommend it for an overnight. - chillyvt

Park has nice view, but all water front sites were taken up by permanent RV's. One of the park model RV's had siding missing. Grass was grown up around permanent RV's. Tree limbs overgrown for large unit. They did cut several limbs for me to get out. - Sour Lake

Park is 2.5 miles from Highway 17 down a very bumpy paved road. Once we arrived at park without reservations we were greeted by very friendly hosts. We were escorted to our site on a gravel road to our level, treeless, overnight site located behind the permanent river sites. Very strong 30 and 50 amp utilities and water. Would stay again if in the area. - RJourney
Jul 2015 - $32.00
$42 CAN after discount. While road from main highway to park has some rough areas (our spedd did not result in furniture moving) the quiteness of the campground more than compensates. Had a fairly level pull-thru with good services. Setting by the river and opportunity to swim in river and take boat excursion makes this a nice get away even though we only stayed one night. Staff were efficinet and friendly. Owner is very interested in you enjoying your stay. Will return again for a longer stay. - cdude
May 2015 - $49.00
Really nice park on the water. Boat launch, swimming area and piers. Gravel sites with great services (even the Wi-Fi is strong) and grassy areas. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The park is near perfect but I may not return. The 3km access road from the highway is extremely rough and even going 10km/hr threw my furniture around. It will certainly give your rv suspension a workout. - Kbob

We stayed here one night on our marathon drive from Montreal to Michigan. We only wanted a place to pull off the road and sleep at and that is about what we got here. The clerk was very nice and helpful even lending us an adapter since they only had 15 amp service. The other campers appeared to be construction workers in the area. The water had a very bad smell and since there was nickel mining in the area, we did not use it in our tanks. Sites were behind the motel on a grass field but ours was fairly level. You get what you pay for. - WinnebagoTraveler

Director-choreographer Farah Khan praises her mother-in-law Geetanjali Kunder for her support and culinary skills, but rues that the latter cooks only for her son and grandchildren.
Choreographer-filmmaker Farah is married to director-producer Shirish Kunder.
Farah, who judges "DID Super Moms", was joined by her mother-in-law on the set of the dance reality show. Geetanjali brought idli-chutney for Farah and her co-judges Mithun Chakraborty and Master Marzi Pestonji.
During the saas (mother-in-law) special episode, Farah revealed things she loves and hates about her mother-in-law.
"My sasu maa (mother-in-law) cooks lovely food, but it is so annoying that every time she cooks something, I never find my share in any of it. It is like she only cooks for her son and grandchildren!" Farah, a mother of three children, said.
Farah feels left out when Geetanjali talks to her son (Shirish) in Tulu (language spoken in parts of Karnataka and Kerala).
"Whenever she and Shirish are together in a room, they begin to talk in Tulu, which for all that I understand of Tulu could very well be Greek or Latin," said the director of "Main Hoon Na".
"However, she is also one of the sweetest people I know. Whenever I am not around, she is the one who looks after my babies. I do not think I would be able to work as much as I do if she wasn't a part of our lives. I also tend to call her daadi (grandmother), which is something she doesn't like one bit," she added.

A fire, believed to have been caused by an electrical short circuit, destroyed three Illinois school buses and damaged three others. There were no injuries or service disruptions, but other buses were damaged by the heat.
Eighteen students and the driver were rescued after their school bus was swept into a retention pond in Illinois. No injuries were reported.
Anthony Bowers of Chicago, who had been a school bus driver for nearly 10 years, was shot in the head while leaving his home for work. Police have no suspects at this time and are reviewing area surveillance video.
Emma McGowan, a bus driver at Schaumburg (Ill.) Township Elementary District 54, won two gold and three silver medals at the World Masters Track and Field Championships in Lyon, France, over the summer.
Forty-eight schools adopt new bell times as part of a Chicago Public Schools plan to cut transportation costs. The district is facing a $1.1 billion operating deficit.
A school bus driver, district transportation department director and local businesses partnered to form Students Take Our Priority (STOP), which aims to make motorists aware of the school bus stop arm and crossing arm.
The app will provide parents real-time information on the location of their child's bus and estimated arrival times as well as information on school closures, delayed openings or important events.
Throughout its history, the Illinois-based contractor has been at the forefront of using alternative fuels for its vehicles — beginning with a horse and wagon powered by oats and hay.
The contractor will continue to provide school transportation for McLean County Unit District No. 5 for the next three years.
Penny Fleming of the Transportation Joint Agreement in Crystal Lake, Illinois, becomes one of 152 certified directors of pupil transportation in the U.S. and Canada.
To date, 191 of the contractor's school buses are using Diga-Talk, a two-way radio network solely powered by digital technology.
The legislation would require Illinois school districts to notify parents of any school bus stops within 500 feet of a sex offender's residence.
The Illinois Association for Pupil Transportation will hold its 32nd annual conference, technician competition and school bus safety roadeo from June 16 to 18 in Peoria.

Kevin Durant's flag football debut a huge success
George Overbey just knew he was going to bomb his accounting quiz Tuesday morning.
After the night he had, how could he not?
The 21-year-old Oklahoma State senior had stayed up till 4 a.m. None of those hours were spent cramming. And by the time he plopped down in his 9 a.m. class, Overbey's mind was a magnificent mess, stuck somewhere between sleep deprived and still daydreaming about the one-of-a-kind encounter he'd forever cherish.
Then the professor displayed the first question on the overhead projector.
"What NBA player was here in Stillwater last night playing flag football?"
This one was easy. By now, it seemed the whole campus knew the answer.
The next question appeared.
"What accounting master's student brought Kevin Durant to Stillwater?"
Overbey looked up and saw his name as one of the multiple choice options. Suddenly, he realized this quiz was tailor-made. It wouldn't be the one he'd have to drop from his accounting grade.
That's how life went for Overbey on Tuesday. He was the big man on campus, the man hailed for bringing an NBA superstar to town for one impromptu intramural game of flag football on Monday night.
"I don't know about that," Overbey said. "I'm definitely the lucky man on campus. I was just lucky to get re-tweeted by Kevin Durant and get to experience his humility and generosity."
In any other calendar year, Durant wouldn't have been available. But because of the four-month-old NBA lockout, the Oklahoma City Thunder star was looking for fun on Halloween night rather than resting up for his team's scratched season opener.
It all started when Durant posted a random message to his Twitter account early Monday evening.
"This lockout is really boring..anybody playing flag football in Okc..I need to run around or something!" Durant wrote.
Overbey responded, "Got a game tonight in Stillwater!! I need a deep threat!!"
Durant asked, "Can I play?"
Overbey then replied, "Can you catch? We've won the 'ship for 3 years! Tonight @ 10." To that, Durant fired back, "forreal?"
Yes, Overbey was for real.
The two continued their conversation via Twitter's private, "direct message" function, exchanging cell phone numbers and other details. Overbey, who was The Oklahoman's 2008 Scholar Athlete of the Year, played high school basketball with Blake Griffin at Oklahoma Christian School. Overbey made sure to notify Durant to his ties to Griffin so the Thunder forward knew he wasn't crazy.
Unfazed, Durant responded with "lol," the acronym for laughing out loud, and reiterated that he just wanted to play.
Durant, though, had one request. He asked if he could play quarterback. That generally is Overbey's position. But do you really think Overbey, who calls Durant his favorite player, was going to tell the two-time scoring champ no?
"I was like, 'Dude, you can play whatever position you want,'" said Overbey, who gladly moved to receiver.
So Overbey shipped Durant his address. Durant and two friends left Oklahoma City just before 9 p.m. Overbey provided frequent directions as Durant made his way to Stillwater.
"As he was getting closer, it was kind of sinking in," Overbey said. "When he told me he was exiting on Highway 51 I was like, 'Wow, he's only 15 minutes away.'"
Through a friend and teammate who works at a printing company, Overbey had a team T-shirt printed for Durant. It had the team's name, "Sigma Nu" on the front and Durant's customary No. 35 etched on the back with his initials, "KD," emblazoned above it.
Running late, Overbey and a friend hopped in Durant's black conversion van and jetted to the field.
On the way, the gang first blasted the tricked-out vehicle's stereo system. Then, Durant talked about Oklahoma State's upcoming game against Kansas State and asked when Bedlam is. Later, Durant inquired about when Sigma Nu's next intramural game was. Durant already was looking to set up his next appearance. Overbey told Durant the championship game had been played at Boone Pickens Stadium the past three years, and added Sigma Nu has won the title each of the past three years. Durant said he would return when he got his cleats — a football version of his signature KD IVs.
By the time the van pulled up to the intramural fields just after 10 p.m., hundreds had gathered. They went nuts when Durant emerged.
"That was a pretty cool feeling, just getting out of that van with KD," Overbey said.
Playing quarterback and defensive back, Durant finished the game with four touchdowns to go with three intercepted passes. The crowd grew to well over 500 by game's end. Some, including Overbey, estimated the crowd to have reached more than 1,000. Durant stuck around to pose for pictures and sign autographs. He soon needed police escorts to make his way back to his van and out of town.
But it was unclear who enjoyed the night more, Durant or everyone else.
"I had soooo much fun at Oklahoma st playing flag football!," Durant wrote on Twitter shortly after the game. "Shoutout my new buddy @groverbey (Overbey) for inviting me! I threw 4 tds and had 3 ints!!"
Overbey instantly became more popular. His Twitter account added roughly 400 more followers in less than 24 hours. He was sought after for interviews by local television stations and newspapers, as well as sports talk radio stations in Oklahoma City, Texas and Kansas. He even appeared on ESPN, recapping the event to "SportsCenter."
"That was pretty sweet," Overbey said.
Overbey initially was hesitant to accept media requests. He felt Durant might not have wanted him to pump life into his random act. But when Overbey texted his newest, most famous friend, Durant gave the green light.
Before hanging up with a reporter at the end of his last interview Tuesday, Overbey interrupted a goodbye to make one request.
Make KD look good.
"To see how a guy that successful, at that age, can be so humble despite having such a presence but still have the character that he does, it's incredible," Overbey said. "It really is."

Letters: livestock, seals, Latino rights and more
The other side of raising livestock
Regarding your articles titled "Parting with farm friends" and "Livestock auction a lifelong lesson" (Local, July 1)
May I suggest to the 4H Clubs and their advisers to complete that lifelong lesson by taking a tour of a slaughterhouse? This would indeed give these young minds a view into where their beloved animals wind up and how different it is from the serene, loving environment from which they came. However sad the story of children saying goodbye to animals they have raised may seem, the sadder truth is that this is teaching kids that their animals are disposable commodities when in fact they are living, feeling beings.
Perhaps in the future the U-T can remind people of this instead of painting it through rose-colored glasses as a human-interest story. – Diane Bachman, Scripps Ranch

Pushback on seals
Sabina Sood (Letters, July 2) states that as soon as one person sets foot on the beach the seals will flee and stay in the water all day. It is this kind of misinformation being spewed out there by the supporters of the seals that creates a pushback from those that want to continue to use the beach as they have before the seals showed up 10 years ago. You can go to the Internet and see a large sampling of videos demonstrating it. It includes approaching, intimidating and misinforming people obeying the law. They act like rowdy drunks with foul language and physical intimidation seen on some videos.
[Ellen] Shively (Letters, July 2) mentions that the seals need the beach for essential survival. There is something else they need for survival that no one ever mentions. That would be the two-plus tons of marine life being taken from the local kelp beds 24/7, the closest waters being in the new marine protected zones created by the MLPA [Marine Life Protection Act]. I guess the declining numbers of sportfishermen have decimated the fish population so some areas were closed. How do we keep the seals out of those zones? We don't.
Enough said. – Keith Darracq, San Diego
No need to apologize
Columnist Matt Hall's submission to political correction in his column "Latino-rights activist thinks columnist let police chief off too easy" (Local, July 1) was a depressing reminder that even objective reporting isn't safe from political attack.
Hall's interview with Escondido police Chief Jim Maher ("Escondido chief: Police policy misunderstood," Local, June 27) contained or omitted nothing to apologize for. Yet, according to local political activist Victor Torres, because many people arrested for crimes in Escondido and subsequently deported are undocumented Latinos, objective, "critical" reporting requires Hall to portray the police chief and the city of Escondido as anti-Latino.
It's clear from statements made by Torres that his mission isn't to protect the civil rights of Latinos, but in essence to renegotiate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and wind the clock back to a time when "people who are just trying to make a living and raise their families have every right to do so" … with or without "documents."
If Torres wants to write his own immigration policy, he is welcome. But reporters and citizens aren't obligated to pay any attention. – Doug Bell, Rancho Peñasquitos
Pursuing the big game
In response to "Who should host new college football championship? It's got to be San Diego" (Editorial, July 1): In the words of Ronald Reagan, "There you go again!" You talk about a waterfront stadium as if it is a "fact." Unless there are secret negotiations going on (and where is your reporting if that is true?), there is no such stadium being pursued. As far as I know, the only people talking about a waterfront stadium is your editorial [board]. The Chargers showed interest for a while, but the last public statements heard from them was that the East Village site was still the one they were working on.

New Delhi, March 2 (IANS) Actor Shailesh Lodha, popularly known as Tarak Mehta of the hit comedy show "Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma", is now interested in melodramatic shows where he can shed tears.
"I get a lot of offers to do emotional roles but I am not able to do it because of the busy schedule. Now if I get such kind of a show in which I have to shed tears, I would definitely do that," Shailesh told IANS.
"I would like to explore that side of my personality. I want to see how I look doing such kind of roles. In personal life, Shailesh Lodha is a very emotional person and I think I would be able to portray that emotion in the right way," he added.
Shailesh, who hails from Rajasthan, is not only a fine actor, he is also a great stand-up comedian and a poet. His show "An Evening With Shailesh Lodha" is a very popular shows among poetry lovers.
"Poetry will always remain my first love. I have been reciting poetry since the age of seven and people used to love me. I still do so for many stage shows. 'An Evening with Shailesh Lodha' is one of the most popular shows of poetry," said Shailesh, who has hosted TV shows like "Wah Wah", "Kya Baat Hai" and "Bahut Khoob".
The actor also participated in popular stand-up comedy show "Comedy Circus - Dekhoge Toh Hasoge".
"Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma" has been on air on Sab TV since 2008 and is still one of the most popular shows on TV. However, Shailesh admits that the competition on small screen is getting fierce.
"There is cut throat competition these days. Mediocrity will not work at all, you have to be best, if you don't have that excellence in your product, nothing would work," he said.
"Channels are getting impatient. If you are not producing good shows, you are out. I still remember the good old Doordarshan days - that time TV was very different," he added.
