Two blue moons occurs once in a blue moon - Akron, OH - The Suburbanite
Two blue moons occurs once in a blue moon - Akron, OH - The Suburbanite: "Most people are familiar with the saying “once in a blue moon,” which is used to describe something that happens very infrequently. Akron residents will get to witness a real blue moon this year.
A blue moon occurs when there are two full moons in one month.
This rare occurrence happens only about seven times in 19 years.
Variations on local time around the world make the dates of the blue moon different, even though it occurs at the same moment. The first full moon in December occurred on Dec. 2. at 2:32 a.m. and the blue moon will occur on Dec. 31 at 2:14 p.m. Blue moons are more apt to happen during months with 31 days. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the last time a blue moon occurred was June 2007. The next blue moon that will occur after this year will be August 2012."
Dakar 2010: The Dakar > The Values
Dakar 2010: The Dakar > The Values: "More than a simple motor race, the Dakar requires off-road navigation capabilities and rock-solid consistency. In rally-raid, endurance is primordial; the least mistake can be costly. This mix of physical rigour and technical performance has been an attraction for champions from diverse horizons for nearly 30 years, all of whom desire to measure themselves and learn about this original event."

WINTER HIKING & SNOWSHOEING
WINTER HIKING & SNOWSHOEING: "WINTER HIKING
There's probably a few good reasons to hang up the hiking boots during the Winter--I just can't think of one !
Many of the trails that we travel in Spring, Summer, and Fall are also available during the Winter. Many public parks, cities, and towns maintain trail systems which remain accessible for Winter hiking and even snowshoeing. Some have special rules that apply to Winter use so check with them for specifics. If nothing else, it's a great way to keep those hiking muscles active.
Many lowland backcountry trails are also available year-round, albeit muddy. Trails in the mountains, (although buried in deep snow) are also traversable (with the help of some special gear). With some additional education, training, and gear, there's no reason we can't be just as actively hiking in the Winter as in the other three seasons."
