NWS Weather Statement!!
…MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE ON SATURDAY… A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY AND BRING A CHANCE FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO THE MID STATE AS EARLY AS LATE TONIGHT. BY EARLY SATURDAY…SOME STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE…AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE…WITH THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUING THROUGHOUT THE DAY SATURDAY…INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A FEW STORMS WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL…DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER HAS PUT THE ENTIRE MID STATE IN A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS. THIS IS THE STRONGEST STORM SYSTEM TO AFFECT MIDDLE TENNESSEE SO FAR THIS SPRING…AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE INCREASINGLY LIKELY…INCLUDING TORNADIC SUPERCELLS. A MODERATE RISK MEANS THAT THERE IS A 45 PERCENT CHANCE OF A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT (DAMAGING WINDS…LARGE HAIL OR TORNADOES) OCCURRING WITHIN 25 MILES OF ANY GIVEN LOCATION. NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL GO SHOULD SEVERE WEATHER APPROACH YOUR AREA ON SATURDAY. HERE ARE A FEW TORNADO SAFETY RULES. TORNADO SAFETY RULES
1. IN HOMES OR SMALL BUILDINGS, GO TO THE BASEMENT OR TO AN INTERIOR ROOM, SUCH AS A CLOSET OR BATHROOM, ON THE LOWEST LEVEL. GET UNDER SOMETHING STURDY SUCH AS A HEAVY TABLE OR A BED.
2. IN MOBILE HOMES AND VEHICLES, ABANDON THEM AND GO TO A STURDY STRUCTURE. IF THERE IS NO SUCH STRUCTURE NEARBY, LIE FLAT IN A DITCH, RAVINE, GULLY, CULVERT OR LOW SPOT WITH YOUR ARMS AND HANDS SHIELDING YOUR HEAD.
3. IN LARGE BUILDINGS, SUCH AS SCHOOLS, FACTORIES, HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES AND SHOPPING CENTERS, GO TO THE PREDESIGNATED SHELTER AREA. INTERIOR HALLWAYS ON THE LOWEST FLOOR ARE USUALLY BEST. STAY AWAY FROM ROOMS THAT ARE LARGE IN AREA BECAUSE THEY HAVE WEAKLY SUPPORTED ROOFS.
4. IN HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS, GO TO AN INTERIOR SMALL ROOM OR HALLWAY.
5. STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS. DON’T BOTHER OPENING OR CLOSING THEM. IT WON’T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE STRUCTURE AND YOU’LL JUST WASTE TIME OR PUT YOURSELF AT RISK SHOULD GLASS BREAK AS YOU ARE NEAR.
Weather Randomness…
Random Special weather statement. My take away… Check on the elderly and pets. Regardless, of the fact that it seems very wrong to group those two together, recent power outages around town make it all the more important to check on older friends and family when it gets really cold. I post this for lack of anything better.
…OLD MAN WINTER GETS A FIRM GRIP ON MIDDLE TENNESSEE… THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON IS NOW COVERING MIDDLE TENNESSEE…AND WILL CONTINUE FOR QUITE A WHILE. RE-ENFORCING BLASTS OF ARCTIC AIR WILL KEEP THE MID STATE IN THE DEEP FREEZE FOR A WHILE. LOW TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 6 DAYS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS…WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S. THIS IS ABOUT 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. HERE ARE A FEW SAFETY RULES IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTSIDE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME. …DRESS WARMLY AND STAY DRY…THIS INCLUDES WEARING A HAT…A SCARF OR KNIT MASK TO COVER FACE AND MOUTH…SLEEVES THAT ARE SNUG AT THE WRIST…MITTENS…THEY ARE WARMER THAN GLOVES…WATER-RESISTANT COATS AND BOOTS…AND SEVERAL LAYERS OF LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING.

The Stay Awake Cam-Help Me!
I didn’t go to sleep last night (most because I’m an idoit) in part because I believe I have a form of OCD that makes want to complete or finish things (nothing to complicated, of course). So, I started watching Season 1 of The Office on Netflix. Which is pretty funny, and I’m not sure why I never started watching it. But reguardless, I was sucked in and since the first season was appearntly only 6 episodes long, I started into the second season. Due to my self diagnoised aiglment (don’t mock me) I didn’t sleep, becuase I just couldn’t stop in the middle of a season, when there were only 24 or so episodes to watch. That’s just lazy, right? So, I watched all night and here I am still awake after almost 24 hours. Enjoy watching me suffer and drink alot of coffee today. Feel free to chime in on the chat if you see me drifting… Thanks in advance for the help at staying awake and on task! Unlike, what I’m doing right now, which is completely off task.
Crossloop.com
Most of you have probably noticed the “Need Help?” page on my website. I’m part of a website called Crossloop.com. It is a computer training and support site manned by volunteers (paid volunteers). It has a fantastic desktop sharing tool that allows me (as a helper) to control a clients computer and show them how to do something or to fix a problem they are having. I’ve recently upped my status to an “active helper” meaning that should respond to any help request within 60 seconds, if I am online. If you go to http://www.crossloop.com/asusong you will see an “Available Now” button under my profile. That means I’m online and should be able to help immediately. Crossloop is a great service and is growing all the time. So, if you have need of computer help, or know of someone who does. Go to http://www.crossloop.com/asusong and send me a help request, chat with me, or share your screen; and I’ll do my best to help you out, quickly, cheaply, and professionally.
Website Background Picture…
Since only three people voted… One of which was me! I went on and replaced the lovely red background with a nice montage of family photos taken by Denise Moore. I hope you like it. I’ll have to come up with some better polls to do, to make use of this cool plugin. Reguardless, enjoy the NOT red background. Hopefully it is easier to read now.
Calling all Voters!!
I just installed the WP-Polls plugin. Let’s see how it works… Let me know what you think my site’s background image should be. If you choose other, please add a comment letting me know your ideas. Whatever wins will help to get rid of this crazy bright red background. So, vote now!!!

Geek Squad meet your match!!!
I’ve just signed up for this service called crossloop. It allows people who need tech help to search for some who might be able to help, and then they can install this program that give me secure remote access to their computer so I can help. Pretty cool, but nothing new… However, this one is FREE! And it works good too. I just used it to help my mom with her computer. I’m hoping to drum up alittle bit of side work here in Clarksville with it as well. I’ve posted this “badge” on my facebook profile, as well as anywhere else I could. Anyway, if you ever need help… Let me know!!! Or just go to http://www.crossloop.com/asusong.
Baby BOY!
It’s a boy! We found out today at 4:30pm that will be adding another little boy to our family later this year. The pictures are on here, just click on Pictures. We are all excited… We can stop calling it the miscellaneous baby now. We don’t have a name in stone yet, but we have narrowed down our choices. When Kayce told Parker that she had a baby brother in her belly, (Sorry about the cliff-hanger… Got busy at work) He said… “Oh, me too!!” Almost worth the wait, huh? Have a great weekend…
