Vote for a home makeover winner!




Renuzit Tri Scents home makeover contest is now to the semi-final stage! You can help one of ten semi-finalists win a $20,000 Home Makeover in the Renuzit TriScents "Transform Your Home with Tanya Memme" promotion.

Renuzit TriScents products and Tanya Memme, host of the A&E Emmy-nominated hit show "Sell This House," teamed up to challenge Americans to transform their home using Renuzit TriScents air fresheners.

Video and photo entries were judged based on three criteria: integration of the product, creativity and overall presentation.

I voted for the Joseph Hiatt family because of their genuine need for repair of damage caused by a water leak in the basement. SSG Joseph Hiatt returned from Iraq in January 2006. His wife stayed home with their son while he served overseas. Since he has returned, the couple have added a daughter to their family, but their need for home repairs and improvements have gotten away from them. Mold and even earthworms (?!?!) have become a problem because of the water damage, and their chimney is in need of repair. I thought this to be a family deserving of the $20,000 prize.

Visit the semi-finalist gallery and vote for one of the ten semi-finalists. You may vote up to once per day through June 7. The semi-finalist with the most votes will receive a $20,000 home makeover with Tanya Memme! In addition to the grand prize, a second-place prize of $3,000 and a third-place prize of $2,000 will be awarded.

Sunday dinner: Garth Brooks' mother's cabbage rolls

Image
So, last weekend at my mother's house, mom, the girls and I got onto the subject of food - naturally - and Gin mentioned that she would like more things with cooked cabbage. ... Yeah, I know, right? But I mentioned that really the only way I like cooked cabbage - other than in the form of saurkraut over some bratwurst - is the cabbage rolls my mom makes. She dug out the recipe, so that had to go on the menu. This particular recipe I don't claim as my own, or even my mother's. She found it years ago somewhere, touted as the recipe for cabbage rolls that Garth Brooks said his mother made for him. I looked it up online and saw it appear in a few forums, but I didn't see an "original" anywhere, so I thought I'd go ahead and list it here, too. If objections happen to come down the pike at some point, I'll be more than willing to take it down, if there are copyright issues or something. I'd love to credit the original source, but I don't know wha

As promised, my rant against the gay marriage bans

Image
I haven't taken the time to outline this post, so it will probably start to wander all over the place. Consider yourself warned. But here's my rant on California's Prop 8 and the two other gay marriage bans that were enacted by the voters on Tuesday. Let's go over the standard arguments against gay marriage, and I'll address them one by one. (Thanks to the jackasses at nogaymarriage.com for making this easier.) Maybe it'll help keep this a little more organized, but I still don't promise not to stray a bit. * God says it's bad, according to the Book, anyway. We have no business legalizing behavior prohibited by God. Alright, I'm going to get the God argument out of the way right now. We're not talking about church doctrine, we're talking about law - as in man's law. The church doesn't apply on a legal issue. Each church has the right to decide whether or not they will bless the union of a same-sex couple or a heterosexual couple, but
