When I made an appointment to have Charter Spectrum installed at my residence, no one mentioned that the individual that showed up would be an independent contractor, no uniform, no id card displayed, no company logo on vehicle and even NO TAG DISPLAYED ON VEHICLE.
The contractor was rude, confrontational and unprofessional. I will not be doing business with Charter Spectrum. When I complained to a company supervisor, that supervisor actually defended the contractor.Problem Intersection - Service Road and Trussville-Clay Road - Trussville, ALPetittwo2020-09-11 | A chronic problem exists at the intersection of Service Road and Trussville-Clay Road. Traffic turning right onto Service Road must yield to ALL traffic, including those turning left from Trussville-Clay Road with a green arrow or just a green light! This is verified by the traffic engineer for the City of Trussville, Wayne Sullivan and Sgt. Chuck Bradford with the Trussville Police Department.
The yield on green light for traffic turning left from Trussville-Clay Road is ONLY for yielding to Southbound traffic. Once onto Service Road, as this video illustrates, the vehicle turning right MUST YIELD TO ALL TRAFFIC. The green light DOES NOT CONTROL TRAFFIC TURNING RIGHT.
My dash-cam video is a perfect example of another vehicle not even slowing down for the Yield sign and almost colliding with me turning left.ROVE With Freewell DJI Phantom 3 / ND2-400 CPLPetittwo2020-07-16 | Aftermarket CPL added to ROVE R2-4K Dash Cam.

There are good biblical reasons for the omission of this doxology from New English and other popular versions of the prayer:-
"For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours. Now and for ever. Amen" (New English Version)
Common bible versions, such as the New International Version, and the Contemporary English Version, exclude the doxology from the Lord's Prayer in the main body of the text (in Matthew 6:9-13), and instead feature it as a footnote on the page. Critical editions of the New Testament used by the United Bible Societies (an organisation representing 145 national bible societies) concur that this doxology does not belong to the original manuscripts of Matthew's gospel, and seems to have been added at a later date.
In 1963, the Second Vatican Council decreed a revision of the liturgy (undertaken by the ICEL, International Commission on English in the Liturgy). In 1969, the doxology was added to the Catholic Mass, not as part of the "Our Father", but following shortly afterwards. In the Mass, the Lord's Prayer is spoken together, followed by the Priest praying:
"Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ."
and then the doxology ("For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever") is prayed by the congregation.
This section of the mass falls just before the sharing of the peace, where the priest wishes the congregation the peace of Christ with the words "The peace of the Lord be with you always" and all who are present share God's peace by shaking hands or embracing each other (depending on the customs of the church).
St. Paul's Cathedral, Birmingham, ALBoatlift - Remembering 9/11Petittwo2018-09-11 | BOATLIFT - An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience (HD Version). This may be the most incredible 9/11 story you may have never heard. This video details the heroic efforts of maritime workers who evacuated over half a million people from Lower Manhattan that were stranded on piers and seawalls.
In the video, we hear Tom Hanks narrate the amazing story of the heroic boatmen that helped evacuate those stranded after the attack on the Twin Towers. The great boatlift of 9/11 became the largest sea evacuation in history. The evacuation was even larger than the evacuation of Dunkirk in World War II where 339,000 British and French soldiers were rescued over the course of nine days. Comparatively, almost 500,000 people were rescued from Manhattan by boat on 9/11 in less than nine hours.Innovee Home Manual Ice Crusher DemoPetittwo2018-08-21 | I am a 72 year old man...this ice crusher is not difficult to use.
Having recently tried another brand that was very unsatisfactory and returned it, I was skeptical with this model. I am pleased to say that after approximately one week of use, this is a keeper. It is not commercial grade for sure, but for home use, it meets my expectations very well. I have found that turning the crank briskly with a steady pace works better than slowly. The cubes do not tend to jam as often. Speaking of ice jams, they do happen on occasion, but only infrequently now that I have started the brisk method. I have followed instructions and briefly reverse the turn when a jam occurs.
I also found that not filling the cube hopper all the way up helps....as shown in my photo, about half to three quarters full. If I need more ice crushed, just add more cubes.
The crushed ice is perfect for my primary use....making either shakes or smoothies. I also leave the top off and the crushed ice hopper out after use until the unit is completely dry. I put a folded paper towel at the bottom while the hopper is removed to catch any dripping moisture.Cristy Lane - One Day At A TimePetittwo2018-08-20 | One Day At A Time - Cristy Lane

Over time Andy finds ways to live out life with relative ease as one can in a prison, leaving a message for all that while the body may be locked away in a cell, the spirit can never be truly imprisoned.St Lukes Veterans Day ParadePetittwo2018-03-28 | This is a remake of the original video I posted in 2012. St. Luke's Episcopal Church, in Birmingham, AL has sponsored a Veteran's Day Parade for the church Day School (preschoolers). It is wonderful to see that they are teaching the children (and adults) how important it is to honor all Veterans. I was a member of this Parish when this video was made, but now am serving in another Parish. I have continued to come back each year along with the Marine Veteran, Ira West, to participate in their parade.The Heavens Turned After HalftimePetittwo2018-03-27 | In Hawaiian lore, the world begins in chaos – “O ke au i kahuli wela ka honua,” the time when the world was hot.
Then the heavens turn about.
For a half, Alabama’s world was chaos. Things were falling apart, figuratively speaking. The Crimson Tide wasn’t moving on offense and wasn’t acting with its usual poise and discipline. Reserves were barking at assistant coaches on the sideline. Mere anarchy wasn’t quite loosed upon the world, but you could see it peeking over the horizon, the defense doing its best to stave off disaster as Georgia gained momentum.
Then, somehow, Alabama – Nick Saban, Tua Tagovailoa, Raekwon Davis, whoever you want to give credit – took that chaos, reversed it and rendered it into something magnificent, something that seemed beyond anyone’s power to create. An Alabama win is rarely unexpected, but this one was straight out of the ancient annals, the stories that contain more power for us because they are so simply unbelievable in daily life.

The film is based on the 1993 novel The Giver by Lois Lowry.
(Ending) Eventually, Jonas finds a sled, like the one that he rode in a memory from the Giver, and makes his way beyond the border of Elsewhere, releasing memories and color vision back into the community, thus saving Fiona and Jonas' father who realizes what he's doing. Right then, Jonas' mother sheds a single tear as she finally understands the feeling of love. Jonas and Gabe return to the house of his memories, where people are singing Christmas carols, and the voiceover says that back in the community, he swears that he hears music or possibly just an echo.Can-Can Dance (From 1960 Movie Can-Can) (1080p HD)Petittwo2018-02-03 | Can-Can is a 1960 musical film made by Suffolk-Cummings productions and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It was directed by Walter Lang, produced by Jack Cummings and Saul Chaplin, from a screenplay by Dorothy Kingsley and Charles Lederer, loosely based on the musical play by Abe Burrows with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, with some songs replaced by songs from earlier Porter musicals. Art direction was by Jack Martin Smith and Lyle R. Wheeler, costume design by Irene Sharaff and dance staging by Hermes Pan. The film was photographed in Todd-AO. It was, after Ben-Hur, the top grossing film of 1960, although it was a box office disappointment failing to make back its production costs.
The film stars Frank Sinatra, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier and Louis Jourdan, and introduced Juliet Prowse in her first film role. Sinatra, who was paid $200,000 along with a percentage of the film's profits, acted in the film under a contractual obligation required by 20th Century Fox after walking off the set of Carousel in 1955.
The name can-can may be derived from the French for tittle-tattle or scandal. However the dance was also referred to as the coin-coin and this may have become corrupted into can-can. In its early days, the dance was also called the chahut (French for noise or uproar).Please Stand Veterans Ad Rejected By NFLPetittwo2018-02-02 | The American Veterans organization, or AMVETS , has released a print ad Wednesday submitted for inclusion in the Super Bowl LII program — but rejected by the NFL — and expanded on its message with a short video.
The ad features soldiers carrying aloft the American flag with two simple words: "Please stand."
AMVETS National Commander Marion Polk said the organization was invited by the NFL to place an ad in the game program, "but that appreciation quickly gave way to deep disappointment when we learned your staff had refused to publish our ad because of its simple, two-word message — '#PleaseStand.' "Space Shuttle Columbia TributePetittwo2018-02-01 | On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven crew members. The disaster was the second fatal accident in the Space Shuttle program after Space Shuttle Challenger, which broke apart and killed the seven-member crew 73 seconds after liftoff in 1986.
During the launch of STS-107, Columbia's 28th mission, a piece of foam insulation broke off from the Space Shuttle external tank and struck the left wing of the orbiter. A few previous shuttle launches had seen damage ranging from minor to major from foam shedding, but some engineers suspected that the damage to Columbia was more serious. NASA managers limited the investigation, reasoning that the crew could not have fixed the problem if it had been confirmed. When Columbia re-entered the atmosphere of Earth, the damage allowed hot atmospheric gases to penetrate and destroy the internal wing structure, which caused the spacecraft to become unstable and break apart.
"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew -- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."Part Four of Four Parts - Todd Gerelds Talks About Touchdown Tony NathanPetittwo2018-01-31 | Part Four of Four Segments - Todd Gerelds talks about the famous Tony Nathan when he played at Woodlawn High School and then went on to play for Bear Bryant and The University of Alabama.

This interview with Coach Saban was in January 2017 prior to Coach Saban tying Bear Bryant's National Championship wins.
This poem from the great Paul "Bear" Bryant is worth posting time and again.
Today, January 26, 2018 marks the 35th Anniversary of his death.
It’s true that an inspiration prayer was found in the wallet of legendary college football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant upon his death.
The Paul W. Bryant Museum at the University of Alabama campus in Tuscaloosa has confirmed that Bryant carried a poem around in his wallet titled “A New Day” that reads:
“This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is very important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss — good, not evil. Success, not failure in order that I shall not forget the price I paid for it.”
Bear Bryant used to carry the poem around in his wallet and was known to read it to his players. The museum, which hands out free copies of the poem to visitors, also has a video of Bryant’s former players reading the poem posted on its website.
The poem was written by Heartsill Wilson, a motivational speakers and accountant from Texas.THE TITLE WAVE Continues - Voice of Eli Gold - National Championship TouchdownPetittwo2018-01-13 | TITLE WAVE....The dynasty continues! Featuring the Voice of the Crimson Tide, Eli Gold!

“What I saw today is just an incredible tribute to professionalism, and what they have done is incredible. And you never want to see it again,” Mr. Trump said, after spending about an hour talking to patients in the trauma center of a Las Vegas hospital that received 100 people in the hours after the shooting.
“We met patients that were absolutely, terribly wounded,” the president added. “And the doctors, the nurses, all of the people at the hospital, have done a job that is indescribable.”
In a four-hour visit to this bereaved city, Mr. Trump and the first lady, Melania, also toured the operations center of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which coordinated the response to the shooting. On one wall hung a poster with an aerial view of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where the gunman perched, and the site of the music festival below it.We Will Never Forget - Tribute To 9-11Petittwo2017-09-11 | We will never forget the lessons learned and the sacrifices of all those involved in the recovery from this ruthless attack on our country.The Power of UnityPetittwo2017-08-29 | Please keep all first responders, Police, Fire, EMS in your prayers as well as the countless number of those affected by Harvey.

The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 230 ft (70.1 m). The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from inside its four bomb bays without aircraft modifications. With a range of 10,000 mi (16,000 km) and a maximum payload of 87,200 lb (39,600 kg), the B-36 was the world's first manned bomber capable of intercontinental flight without refueling.
Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress from 1955. All but five examples were scrapped in the 1950's.
The B-36 set the standard for range and payload for subsequent U.S. intercontinental bombers.
