I've heard that some Rabbonim say that if you use Maaser for a Chinese auction and then you win, the prize has to go to tzedakah.

I didn't hear this directly from a rabbi, so take it for what it's worth.
i would think to take mayser on the prize
in terms of miles, why not just donate mayser on the miles/cash back?

+1 to the first statement. But therein lies the rub. If the reason you don't normally give maaser on your miles is that you look at it as a rebate on your purchases (there was a nice long thread on that topic a while back too), then here it's a rebate on your maaser, and therefore the miles themselves should already be considered maaser.

This is yet another reason to give tzedaka in cash or check wherever possible (the other being that the tzedaka is usually paying fees for cc processing, meaning they take in less overall). I certainly use cc for tzedaka sometimes, but I've been trying to do as much of it by cash/check as I can.

IIRC You can use any Mashkeh for Netilas Yadayim except for wine.

Those following the Ariza"l for Na'anuim (a.k.a. Minhag Chabad. a.k.a. right, left, forward, up, down, back). How would you do it in a location that doesn't face east for Davening (e.g. Far East, Australia etc.)? Do you turn around to face east for the Na'anuim or do you face the front of the Shul and shake to the appropriate direction?

If Shabbos is ט״ו חשון, does that mean Motzai Shabbos will be too late for Kiddush Levana?

That depends on when the Molad was.

In any case cutting it so close in the winter isn't smart. If you have a chance this week take it.

Oh I thought it was always a certain date of the month, thanks.

Yeah, last Motzai Shab was cloudy, so they didn't do it.

True point.

what is the question? How to do it or if it needs? If the question is how to do it then just dunk the whole thing including the wire into the water and let dry for a week before using.

if you need to tovel the casing you need o tovel the wire. According to Reb Moshe, the casing in a seperate keli, so you only need to dunk the grilling keli, not the electrical housing keli. (YD 1:57)
