Editorial Board Jeff Precourt, Publisher Les Bowen, Digital Editor Opinion Larry Campbell, Executive Editor Ron Jackimowicz, News Editor theworldlink.com/news/opinion ‘Kicker’ refund will hamper recovery

An elderly friend I’ll call Jeff perfectly summed up the stress of digital living. He’d read an article on the race by cyber-mer- chants to get online purchases into con- sumers’ hands within an hour of their push- ing the “place your order” button. One such service, eBay Now, has its own app enabling shoppers to follow the delivery people as they bike or drive to their address. “More miscellaneous information than you need” is how Jeff described the tracking feature, while conceding, “This country is good at delivering stuff.” Jeff is not a creature of the digital age. He writes on a computer and sends email, but that’s it. He is content to read today’s news in tomorrow’s newspaper.

Many teams fight to get to the worst record to be higher in the draft. But the Blazers haven’t done that. Two years ago, a brilliant trade landed them the Nets’ first-round pick in exchange for aging Gerald Wallace. That pick, No. 6 in the 2012 Draft, turned into Damian Lillard. Lillard is a rarity in the one-and- done era of college basketball, having played four years at Weber State. He was the only senior among the first 16 picks. By the end of the season, Lillard was rookie of the year, and now he has an edge about him. He’s vicious like a pitbull and doesn’t back down to big moments. Think Russell Westbrook without the suspect wardrobe choices. Rounding out the Big Three — vir- tually every NBA team has one now — the Blazers have Nicolas Batum and LeMarcus Aldridge. Aldridge was drafted second overall seven years ago and the Blazers were right to give him a max contract exten- sion.

DILBERT Wednesday, December 4,2013 • The World • B5 Readers share ways to use this for that FRANK AND ERNEST Eyeglass cleaner. If you’re out when you realize your glasses or purse mirror needs cleaning, try using a drop of hand sanitizer to give you crystal-clear results instant- ly. This works great on glass, but should be tested on plas- tic. — Angelique T. Kitchen helper. I work full time, so THE BORN LOSER EVERYDAY before I leave my CHEAPSKATE house in the morning, I set up my slow cooker and plug it into a timer. Most Mary days, I Hunt only ZITS cook for two, preparing a couple of pork chops or chicken. With the timer, I start the cooking at noon on low and end it at 5:30 when I get home, avoid- ing the need to cook for 10 hours. It is important to make sure the timer is set correctly. In the morning, the meat goes in frozen, so there is no need to worry CLASSIC PEANUTS about it sitting out until noon. It’s so nice to come home to a nice hot meal. — Linda Brush holder. When I redid my bathroom, I took THE FAMILY CIRCUS the old toothbrush holder, ran it through the dishwash- er and now use it to hold my makeup brushes on the counter. The brushes fit nicely, are neatly organized and are ready for me to use. — Robin FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE Claw backs. I have lace curtains that I sometimes like to pull back. I use those tiny “claw” hair clips with the teeth that you pinch to open. They’re less than an inch long and clear. I pull the curtain to the desired posi- tion and clip it back. When I want to close the lace cur- tain, I gently remove the clip and clip it onto the outside edge of the curtain so it’s ROSE IS ROSE there whenever I need it. These clips work great and they’re virtually invisible! — Bonnie B. Write on, wipe off. I am always thinking of things I need to do or buy while I’m in the bathroom getting ready for the day. But keep- ing a notepad in a room with so much moisture doesn’t work well. Instead, I use a wipe-off marker right on the LUANN mirror. I jot quick notes as I think of them. Then, when I’m ready to go, I transfer all my notes to paper and wipe them off the mirror. This routine keeps me from get- ting frustrated about not remembering something and it keeps the mirror clean, too! — Leanne Well-heeled. No one in my house likes the “heel” ends of a loaf of bread. Instead of throwing them GRIZZWELLS out, or throwing them in the backyard for the birds, we let them sit out on the counter and get stale. Then, we save them to use for bread- crumbs, stuffing or crou- tons. For croutons, I cube the stale bread and toss it in a frying pan with a little olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Once they are coated and heated through, I toss them with Parmesan cheese and use on a Caesar salad. — Nancy V. Gift the shelter.
