After the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge began in June, we asked pet parents of cats and dogs adopted from competing Challenge shelters to send us photos of their new furry friends.

We've tallied up thousands of votes for these super cute photos, and the results for $100K Challenge Photo Contest are in!
Drumroll, please…
The grand prize of $5,000 in ASPCA grant funding goes to Humane Society of Midland County for the winning photo of Mr. Voltz Biter.
Four shelters will win $2,000 in ASPCA grant funds for their second place photo submissions:
Canyon County Animal Shelter for the photos of Dover and Shelly
Capital Area Humane Society for the photo of Nolan

Animal Rescue League of Boston for the photo of Hanna
Ten runners up will receive $1,000 each in ASPCA grant funding:

Congratulations are in order for all of this year's photo contest winners and finalists. There's more $100K Challenge excitement to come! Don't miss the action as the contestants work to save more lives during the final month of the contest.
During Diana M.'s first visit to the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, she met Banksy, a small, lively pup she first saw on our website. Soon, Banksy joined her family, and he fit right in. Diana shared the following story with us:
We wanted a companion for our current dog Oliver, who is also a rescue. We also felt it was important to adopt and wanted to give a dog in need a good home.
Banksy by far was our favorite from the beginning. He was a bit bashful, but after seeing him at the ASPCA we knew we wanted him. We talked about it often during the week and, the following weekend, we returned with my resident dog, a Dachshund and Beagle mix named Oliver, to ensure that it would be a good match.
Banksy and Oliver hit it off immediately, and we fell in love. We knew we wanted to take him home right away. The Adoption Center staff was extremely personable, helpful and knowledgeable. It was evident that Banksy was very much loved and cared for, and that the first priority of the staff was to ensure that he had a good home.
Bansky adjusted to his new home quickly. By the second day, he was accepting treats from us, and it was clear he was feeling more and more at home. Once he got to know us, he was extremely affectionate. He likes to jump on us all the time and gives tons of licks and kisses.
Oliver and Banksy are great companions; they've even switched beds and chew toys and love to run outside together. As Oliver is a bit older, I think it makes him very happy to have playful Banksy as a companion.
Every year, the ASPCA creates a top-quality wall calendar that we give out to our friends and supporters. These calendars feature ASPCA team members and their adopted pets—and around the office, competition to make it into the calendar is pretty steep!
We're putting our 2014 calendar together right now, and staffers representing all 12 months of the year have been photographed with their furry friends. There's only one big decision left to make, and we're leaving the answer up to you: Who should grace the calendar's cover?
We've narrowed down the field to four contenders. Check out the photos that are in the running, read a little about the sweet, adopted subjects, and then cast your vote for our 2014 Cover Dog or Cat. The pet whose photo gets the most votes will have his or her face in homes all over America!
In honor of Adopt a Shelter Cat Month last June, we teamed up with Threadless.com to find the best superhero feline t-shirt design—and more than 600 of you submitted ideas! There were laser cats, ninja cats, cats with beards and even cats on unicycles, but there can be only one top dog in this competition. And the winner is…Atomic Kitty!
The winning designer received an amazing gift bag, including a $500 Threadless.com gift code and two tickets to the ASPCA's annual Young Friends benefit in New York City. And, of course, proceeds from this cute t-shirt will help prevent cruelty to animals across the country!
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the design contest. You can purchase Atomic Kitty t-shirts on Threadless.com.

In Hot Water
If you happened to be in the Monterey Peninsula Airport in Monterey, California, between December 2004 and May 2005, you were treated to a very interesting display of water heaters, both modern and antique.The display in the airport art gallery, "In Hot Water,"was created by Eileen Tuttle, the airport curator and design specialist, and Larry and Suzanne Weingarten, Home Energy water heater gurus (see "Soft Water, Strong Odor," p. 6)."The folks who designed these systems created very elegant water heaters," says Larry Weingarten. And the older water heaters worked well and efficiently.
If you weren't able to make it to the show in person, highlights appear in the accompanying photos.The photo on the upper left shows a Humphrey instant water heater, circa 1920. The body is cast iron and the coils are copper. Going clockwise, the second photo shows a Ruud tank heater, circa 1940. This bad boy can put out 200,000 Btu per hour. The next photo shows kitchen water heaters. The Jewel gas heater (on the table in the photo) was carried from room to room. Finally, the last photo shows some bath water heaters dating back to 1870; that's before indoor plumbing.

Comments On Sep 01, 2015:These tires are great for getting out ahead of the rest of your friends from the get go. If you like having maximum traction in most conditions (snow, mud, gravel, trail riding these are the tires for you. However, if you like having the ability to drift around corners and having a little fun with throwing the back end out these aren't the tires for you. They are very reliable and very durable. I've had them for over a year now and they are still in great condition.

La Bonne Annee
The ever-reliable Claude Lelouch serves up another romance-and-adventure combination plate with Happy New Year. Simon (Lino Ventura) is doing prison time, due to a jewel-theft caper. The police still have not recovered the loot, so Simon gets an early release so that they can track him to it. He is wise to their intentions, however, and loses his tail early on. Nonetheless, his search for his old partner Charlot (Charles Gerard) leads him to reminisce about the robbery itself, and the events that led up to it. With the encouragement of his partner in crime, who honorably gives him his share, he looks up his old flame (Françoise Fabian) even though he knows she is now seeing someone else. The story of their current love's rekindling coincides with a retelling of how they became lovers in the first place. Originally released in 1973 as La Bonne Année, Happy New Year was remade in America in 1987 with Peter Falk, Charles Durning and Wendy Hughes.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This year is London Underground's 150th anniversary. Happy Birthday indeed. Though, there are times waiting for the tube when we can feel every single year of the structures' existence creaking and groaning around us. Still, we would be lost without it.
Which is precisely why it is a real pleasure to see this institution celebrated by Penguin in the form of their Penguin Lines series. Penguin invited 12 people from a variety of industries to write 15,000 words on the tube line that most inspires them. Style magazine Fantastic Man chose the East London line (our favourite too), while Kid's Company founder Camilla Batmanghelidjh chose the Victoria line. Each person designed the cover of their tome, and we've got all of them for your perusal, just ahead. Priced at £4.99 each, the books are available as e-books but the print versions are too lovely to pass over. Don't you think?

Collin currently attends Cocoa Beach High School in Brevard County and is anything but your typical high school senior. Participating in the International Baccalaureate Program, Collin has had the opportunity to do and present scientific research since his middle school days. As a Melbourne Beach resident, he developed a love for the ocean and that love has inspired the research that he has entered in this year's Dr. Ying Science Competition.
His entry focuses on research into karenia brevis, the organism responsible for the Florida red tide. He has investigated and invented a new, simple and inexpensive method of detection for the most harmful brevetoxin in the red tides, PbTx-3. His ultimate goal is to stop the damage to our ecosystem from these harmful red tides. If successful, he could one day save millions of species of marine life plus positively impact Florida's fishing and tourism industries.
Collin has won numerous awards for past research, including the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge's "Planet Green" Award in 2007 and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "Taking the Pulse of the Planet" Award in 2009. He received a scholarship from the U.S. Navy in 2009 and in 2010 he completed an internship during the summer with the NOAA Center for Costal Environmental Health and Bimolecular Research in Charleston, NC. Collin won the Ying Competition in 2009 and 2010, and is looking forward to another exciting competitive experience.

"The people stood afar off, but Moses drew near... where God was."
(Exodus 20:21 NKJV)
"Moses alone knew what God's presence felt like, what His voice sounded like, and what His radiant glory looked like. And apparently the people of Israel were happy to leave it that way. They said to Moses, 'You tell us what God says... but don't let God speak directly to us... ' (Exodus 20:19). What were they afraid of, that God might tell them something they didn't want to hear? Hello? When you haven't carried out God's last set of instructions it's hard to get excited about His next set.
John writes: '... We can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, '"... I know God... "' but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God's word truly... love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did' (1 John 2:3-6 NLT)." (Bob Gass)
So, are you content to be an onlooker, watching God move in the lives of others instead of accepting the discipline required to have a personal relationship with Him yourself? Do you want His gifts and His favor, but not the commitment that goes with them? God doesn't want you to be infatuated with the Bible, or the church, or His blessings. No, He wants you to fall in love with Him. He's not looking for a date; He's looking for a bride! He wants someone who'll stick with Him when the going gets tough. Are you ready to put on the ring of commitment today?

I purchased a jon boat with about a 4" split in the bow. I brought the boat to work to fix it, cleaned the area with a nice SS brush, grabbed a 3/32 Aluminum Stick rod, and received the biggest surprise of my life!!!!! Man these boats are thin!!!!!!! For the next two hours I spent grinding filling over and over, and finnaly gave up. Now I have a big mess on my hands and Duck season is less than 1 month away. I have a friend with a Spool gun and plan on fixing it wup with that. I beleive it has .035 wire and I will be running straight Argon.
I have been reading the post on thin aluminum, but does any one have any aditional tips for me? I am thinking of putting a 1/8" plate on the front, incase I get into some ice, I am sure adding the plate will make it easier to weld, since it will not burn through fast. Thanks in advance, I will be sure to post Pics

Ultra thin Jon Boat
SundownIII will know!
I'd say take it to somebody that can TIG weld it, especially if they have boat experience, as it's generally a hard alloy to weld and it gets a lot of contamination not just on the surface, but ground into it from the environment. If you must have your friend do it, I recommend you have him successfully weld a test piece of the same thickness and fitup BEFORE blowing holes in your boat.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.

"We are generally better persuaded by reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others." -Pascal

I've run into similiar situations where folks would bring me a aluminum intake manifold and they always say the same thing , it should be easy to weld . It always is a ***** when they try to J B weld it first . I tell people if you want me to fix it don't try to do so yourself first , let a pro do it right the first time . Good luck , btw if it were mine I'd tig weld that john boat .

I have repaired (TIG) MANY aluminum boats that someone else has tried to repair with a Mig. Maybe some can but I have yet to see it done. Each one would have been 30 minutes to an hour max IF I did not have to grind out and clean up the mess someone else had caused with a MIG.
I charge the same for grinding as I do for Tigging. Very profitable.

After the last thread, not sure I should even comment, what with all the other "experts" on the board.
Pictures of the boat/crack would be helpful. Your location would also be nice to know. I may be able to recommend someone locally who could help you out.
One of the things about repairing boats (or whatever) comes from the experience gained in learning the limitations of the welding equipment you have available.
I've migged a fair amount of aluminum with a spoolgun and the first thing you learn is that it "runs hot and it runs fast". Probably not what you need for the thin gauge aluminum you're dealing with. The reason most knowledgeable posters will recommend tig is because of the ability to "control the heat".
There are many other factors which enter into how to approach your repair. The first would deal with "why did the crack happen in the first place?". Was it because of a blow, strike, etc or did it crack from fatigue. If it was from fatigue, you've got some serious issues to deal with that probably can't be resolved on an internet board.
Most jon boats are constructed of a thin gauge aluminum that is very difficult to weld. If you check your own boat, you'll probably find that rivets were employed to fasten it together and that there are few if any welds on the boat.
Depending on the "crack" involved, the best repair may be a "backing plate" riveted on the back side and sealed with epoxy. The ends of the crack should be drilled to stop the crack from spreading.
One other comment. Aluminum jon boats don't lend themselves to operation in ice. No matter how you try to reinforce them, there's a major danger involved. There are jon boats built for operation in ice and rocky environments, but they are built with much heavier gauge material than your's I suspect.

Well I appriciate all responses. I know it is is much easier to take it to someone, that is a no brainer, but I am do it youselfer. I have a vast amount of resources and most of all I wan tot learn how. I realize that Tig is the best, I just have to find a welder here at work to hook me up with a tig torch, they seem hard to come by around here. Everything else is very accessable.
The crack happened when they ran the boat up a little to fast and hit the winch on the trailer. about a 4" tear, opened up about 1/8".
I too have thought to sandwich the tear with two pieces of aluminum and through bolt or rivet with some type of sealent, or epoxy. I expect to have this boat a while so I thought I would do it right.
I did stop by and show a local welding shop and told me to grind all the crap off and bring it back and he would weld it up for $40. Being the season is very close, this is what I will probably do.
But that does not help the fact that I want to learn!!!!!!! to TIG. I am pretty experienced in Mig and Stick, just never tried to tig. Looks like it going to be a winter hobbie to learn!!!!!
On your boat is not the place to learn..."If you build it, they will come!"

Intel® Intelligent Systems Empowering Embedded Innovation
Empowering a new world of embedded innovation
Empowering a new world of embedded innovation
The world is in the midst of a dramatic shift from an era of computers to one of computing. Today, billions of intelligent devices are poised to make more than a trillion connections, weaving computing into every aspect of our lives, generating tremendous amounts of data, and making unprecedented opportunities possible.
This transformation will enable new user experiences, enhanced productivity, better safety, and improved efficiency for businesses and consumers alike. From cars that recognize their owners to supermarket displays that help shoppers plan their dinner menus, devices are growing more connected, more context-aware, and more adaptive to our needs.
The embedded market segment is also transitioning from traditional fixed-function and isolated embedded systems to a new category of intelligent systems. Intelligent systems offer vastly enhanced user experiences while dramatically increasing the flow of information to the cloud, data centers, and back.
The intelligent systems opportunity
Analyst firm IDC predicts that by 2015 more than a third of the billions of connected devices will be intelligent systems—a market representing around 4 billion units and more than $2 trillion in potential revenue.1
In addition, there is immense value to be extracted from data from the Internet of Things. Harnessing and combining both machine-generated and user-created data holds the potential to improve lives, spur incredible advances in productivity, and create new, industry-shifting services.
Simplifying the Internet of Things
The ultimate potential of the Internet of Things will be realized with the ability to derive value from data captured at every step in the system—from sensor controllers to edge gateways to cloud to client. To capitalize on these opportunities, enterprises require tools, technologies, and platforms able to convert massive volumes of data from many different sources into value-added information.
Intel is addressing these needs with the Intel® Intelligent Systems Framework, a set of interoperable solutions designed to facilitate connecting, managing, and securing devices in a consistent and scalable manner.
The Intelligent Systems Framework enables OEMs to shift their investments from achieving interoperability to unlocking the value of data. The framework features fundamental capabilities, delivered by components that address connectivity, manageability and security including software and middleware from Wind River* and McAfee*.
Ecosystem support
Intel is also forming an ecosystem of system vendors, ISVs, system integrators, and cloud-to-device services (application enablement platforms) that build upon the Intelligent Systems Framework foundation. Several companies lined up to support the Intelligent Systems Framework include Advantech*, Arrow Electronics*, Avnet*, Axeda*, Dell*, Digi International*, Kontron*, McAfee*, Portwell*, WebHouse*, and Wind River*.
Key aspects of intelligent systems:
Processing performance
Today's systems are generating increasing volumes of data, escalating demand for greater performance and workload consolidation to help turn that raw data into measurable insights that can then be converted into services, and finally into business value.
To meet this demand and help customers realize the emerging opportunities made possible by intelligent systems, Intel delivers energy-efficient performance processors ranging from the low-power Intel® AtomTM processor to the high-performance Intel® Xeon® processor family.
With millions of devices connecting to the network, often in remote and far-flung locations, intelligent systems must be reliable, highly available, and easily upgradeable to maximize return on investment (ROI) and keep total cost of ownership (TCO) low. Intel provides a broad spectrum of hardware- and software-based manageability solutions. The Intel® CoreTM vProTM processor family also provides integrated hardware support for intelligent management functions, virtualization, and platform security.
Whether intelligent systems are working with personal or enterprise data, security is paramount. Automated intelligent systems play mission-critical roles in high-value applications across many industries. Intel provides security solutions to ensure intelligent systems, applications, and data are protected, including tools from McAfee®, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel and the world's largest dedicated security company.
The number of connected intelligent systems is expected to grow by 400 percent to 20 billion devices or more over the next 10 years. Data traffic is anticipated to grow by as much as 200 times in the next decade, with increasingly rich data adding to network demand.
Intel delivers continuously increasing performance per watt, enabling Intel® processors to simplify the connectivity in intelligent systems and equip businesses and network operators to move intelligence to the network edge. Intel provides connectivity solutions for heterogeneous networks, including wide area networking, Wi-Fi, and cellular communications.
Intel initiatives across industries
Together with strategic partnerships and dedicated research and engineering teams, these Intel® solutions provide a foundation for success for intelligent systems vendors and service providers in the retail, automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, communications, and energy market segments.

Who can forget the dynamic way that saw Didier Cuche finish his career in Schladming back in March? When one door closes another opens and the 2012 – 2013 sees the most successful team of last season back with what is an even stronger roster of racers. New marquee signings have strengthened the team that scored more World Cup points than any other brand last season; Aksel Lund Svindal and Lindsey Vonn also won Crystal Globes. Add to this the fact that Lindsey was so close to breaking the magical 2000 World Cup points barrier and Didier winning Kitzbuehel again this was a magical season. While Didier Cuche and Anja Paerson retired from racing after hugely successful careers, the new members of the HEAD World Cup Rebels team bring excitement and hope for the forthcoming season. Beat Feuz, Georg Streitberger and Julia Mancuso join the racers from last season as they look to better the results from the last World Championships in 2011 and World Cup last season.
Swiss star, Beat Feuz joined at the end of last season. Feuz believes that "the history and strength of the team will help me" and has his sights on the top step in the season long race for Globes; second place is not an option! Feuz is determined and 'wants to win medals,' he states. Feuz is adamant that he is joining the HEAD World Cup rebels, not just to make up the numbers but also to 'become one of the best among the team."
Julia Mancuso will be a major force on the World Cup this season Franz Klammer believes and the move to HEAD will be the making of her: 'she will get even better.' Mancuso is an exciting, interesting person and has spent the summer using different training methods to improve her breathing while she is skiing: "I have been doing a lot of Pilates and training with pulleys and springs. I have also been doing free diving after being inspired by a friend."
Also joining this season is Austrian, Georg Streitberger. Streitberger is excited to be joining a HEAD team that is super strong team in the speed events. Already looking to improve his skiing, Streitberger knows that it will not be easy yet has his goals set on the World Championships and adding to his two World Cup wins in the Super G World Cup.
Last season the star of the show was undoubtedly Lindsey Vonn: The wins were numerous, the records tumbled and she came so close to breaking the magical 2000 World Cup point mark. Yet this is a new season, so what does she make of all the new equipment? "It wasn't as hard of a process to change as I expected because HEAD had done so much work preparing and testing the new models to make them better. The change did not affect the way I prepare for a season; it simply means a higher volume of runs."
Last season Maria Hoefl-Riesch started out as the racer to beat having won the Overall, this year she starts out again as one of the hunters chasing Lindsey Vonn. Hoefl-Riesch has spent the summer training in NZ and Chile again and has a new service man and fitness trainer for the upcoming season. Further she released her book 'Geradeaus'. And of the new ski regulations, she remains upbeat yet knows that things will only be known when the racing starts! A fit and healthy Hoefl-Riesch is determined to give it her all!
Lizz Goergl enters the new season relaxed and ready to defend her two World Championships titles won in Garmisch. With all the new kit that is at her disposal, Goergl says, she has 'been more focused on freeskiing with the new material.' The preparation for the new season has been meticulously prepared and planned and with the home support expected in Schladming she is excited and ready for the new season.
Anna Fenninger has a passion for speed and has spent the summer getting to grips with her motorcycle. Already an accomplished downhiller and Super G racer, the World Super Combined Champion spent a lot of the summer improving her fitness and gymnastic work: handsprings, front and back flips are now all part of her fitness routine! All this hard work is paying off in terms of her feelings for the new equipment and she feels ready and excited for the new season.
One of the great weekends of racing last winter was the trip to Kvitfjell in Norway. More renown as a giant slalom racer, Kjetil Jansrud blitzed the opposition in the first two races and then finally made the top step of a World Cup race in the Downhill. With the new equipment for the season, how does he feel things have changed: "The technical finesse has now been changed with raw power," states Jansrud. Yet he feels that "Finally this is a season where I can compete for medals in at least three disciplines. I can't wait."
Marcel Mathis gave the established stars a wake up call last season during the Bansko stop for the Giant Slalom. A dramatic second run saw him take third place and he backed this up with another third in Schladming at the Finals. With his father now concentrating of preparing his skis, much is expected for the young Austrian. The young Rebel is clean and precise with his goals: "I just want to ski fast! I am young and I want to win!"
Ted Ligety feels that he is the "embodiment of the Rebel now and brings consistency in the tech side of the brand." Ligety wants to challenge for the Overall and while he is strong in the Giant Slalom and consistent in the Super G, it is the slalom, his original best event, where he feels that he is "making steps to that goal." With the improvement to his speed skiing, it "will be a matter of keeping the confidence high and getting a good run on the slopes" as he looks to challenge for the big Globe.
There is one racer that embodies ski racing and the way of life that HEAD racers bring to racing: Bode Miller. Miller is looking forward for the season: Now married and post surgery to his knee, Miller has a strong desire to add the Downhill globe to his personal success story. With a new serviceman preparing his skis, Miller is looking forward to the new season!
Aksel Lund Svindal won the Super G Globe last season and was back on the winners step in the downhill as well. While he has concerns about how the new ski regulations will perform in events that have changing conditions, the quality training that he has been doing over the summer, he feels will see him ready for the season.
When it comes round to contract time, this is always a decision for the racer that has a huge effect on their career. Coming into the new season, Kjetil Jansrud reflected on having re-signed to HEAD at the end of last season: "The two years I have had on HEAD were a pleasure: Highly professional people and a great atmosphere. HEAD is deadly serious in its work and it has the best racing department out there!"
Bring on the racing!

Comments about Heritage Dog Travel Bed:
I was very happy with the quality of my purchase.
However, I was disappointed that I was not given the "free shipping" I was promised. I did make a mistake on my order and forgot to put "Ship99" on my order, but immediately called back Brookstone and was assured by two different people my account would be credited for the shipping charge. So far this was not done. I would appreciate help with this as well as my gift for completing this survey. Thank you, Linda Parsons

"Is the amount of sodium correct for this recipe? Seems waaaaay out of line."
"This was a good base soup recipe. I did thicken mine up a bit more and added freshly ground black pepper and fresh chopped basil. I also made parmesan crisps to float on top. The second time I made this I added some roasted red peppers. This took it to the next level. Delicious!!!!!"
"Super easy and very good flavor. I didn't read the reviews beforehand, but I agree that it is too thin. Next time I make it I will take steps to thicken it up a bit."
"I love this soup! I use organic tomatoes and organic vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, it turns out SO yummy."
"I halved the recipe to make four servings just for me. It was excellent and I'll be making it again. Lots of possible variations depending how spicy one likes it. I tossed in some extra dried basil and oregano and a shake of freshly ground pepper. Using yellow onion was fine. Very tasty."
