I’m timing posting of this blog entry to coincide with the full moon. Weather permitting, Saturday June 26 at 7:30 am EST you’ll witness the sixth full moon of 2010.

Joe Rao, SPACE.com columnist, instructor at New York's Hayden Planetarium and meteorologist for News 12 in Westchester, New York, explains in http://www.space.com/spacewatch/full-moon-names-2010-100127.html how full moons get their names throughout the year from Native America traditions.

This extra Qudoku puzzle set challenges you to discover the two names of June 2010’s full moon.

New Word Sudoku (Swifty Sudoku!) Puzzles for Saturday, 6/26/2010

Let’s walk," said Tom stridently.

A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun that simultaneously describes a speaker and refers to the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers first publiahed in 1910. The authors were roundly criticized back then for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom hardly ever said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style.
