Hi Stan,
I purchased a book from Chirp, downloaded it to my Android and it plays perfectly well and sounds great. Prices are great and the Chirp Android app is accessible with TalkBack.

Re: low tec solutions

Hi all,
It's fire regulations, Gene. It isn't the apartment complex's idea. One can buy battery operated lights now that look like candles. They may even have battery operated Minnorah's. They aren't the same as the real ones, but hey, the actual temple flames were in oil lamps, not candles anyway. The whole point of the miracle is that the oil for the lamps lasted eight days instead of just one. I think it's a shame that you can't like candles on a cake, but what can one do except follow regs.

Re: low tec solutions

Hi all,
I ran into this at the National ACB Convention last summer. We couldn't burn candles at either the Shabbat service or the Mass on Sunday. So we resorted to t-lights. Those are the little battery operated lights you can buy They look like candles when they are lit. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons Portal Tutoring EMAIL: akp@...

Re: low tec solutions
Josh Kennedy
I think at walmart my son and I got these wax things. They are like candles but they are in a glass tray and a slightly smaller glass dish goes into the tray. So you put the block of wax with the scent you want into the tray which sits inside the dish and then you plug it into the wall. It heats up the wax enough to melt it but it does not burn and its not hot enough to really burn you either. But it gives the whole place a nice scent. Its like a candle but without burning or lighting anything on fire. I don't remember what these products are called. The plug-in wax trays.

Need Help Using 1Password with Chrome
Kelly Sapergia
Hi,
After hearing about 1Password, I thought I'd give it a try. I've installed both the Windows program and Chrome extension. However, I can't seem to get it to work in Chrome. That, or I just don't understand how it works. I've set it up so it will bypass Chrome's password manager, but whenever I try logging into a site, I'm not being asked if I want to save the password. I understand there's a hotkey, Control+Backslash, to bring up a 1Password window or something, but nothing happens when I press it. (Control+Shift+Backslash loads the main program window.) There's also a message that pops up at the bottom of a page whenever I've filled in a password that says to press the Down Arrow key to bring up a menu. Pressing it, however, does nothing. If anyone's using this successfully, can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, if anything? Thanks.

If any of you are into dc universe characters such as batman, superman, justice league and so on. The dc universe app, at least the tv and movies part of it anyway is 100% accessible. It works with android and IOS. I tried it and it works great for android. It costs around $7 or so a month to subscribe with a 7 day trial for first time users.

I'm not sure I understand the problem. When I burned incense a long time ago, my recollection is that it smoldered and wasn't what you would call a flame. Its hard to believe that your apartment complex won't allow you to light a match. I don't know what they mean by an open flame. Do you mean they won't allow people to burn candles?
Whatever the case, a long time ago, in my early college days, before I got tired of incense, I used to put a stick in a drinking glass, a glass drinking glass and light it with a match before I put it in.
