Article Summary 30th August 2010

August 31st, 2010 by tony | No Comments | Filed in Tony, Writing

This is a list of articles that I have written on Associated Content in the last week, I hope you will take a look at them and also enjoy them.

I write on a number of topics, usually it depends on what comes into my head on any given day, so it could be a travel story, memoirs from my life, something from the daily news, or even a poem inspired by something.

This is what I have published in the last week, enjoy:

  • When the drink driving restrictions were brought into the UK in the 1960′s, it changed the eating and drinking habits of much of the population.
  • There must be 20 or more Blue Tits that come to visit the bird feeders in our garden every day. These are just a few of them, enjoying stocking up on peanuts.
  • Whether it’s a headline in a tabloid newspaper or the subject of an article or web page, a catchy headline can often make you wonder just what the article is about. So what is this article about you might wonder?
  • For anyone interested in the exploration of Space, the Space Shuttle program or the International Space Station, a visit to the Kennedy Space Center is something that is literally out of this world.
  • This weeks edition of Offbeat News has some really weird stories, including a woman with a mortal fear of bananas, a boy with his head stuck in a toilet seat, a wizard brand of condoms, and a swarm of bees surrounding a police car.
  • Welcome aboard our tour of the Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These are some photographs of rockets from the late 1950′s and early 1960′s, the Mercury and Gemini programs.
  • Why are there so many strange bird names I wonder. I can understand the Blackbird being called as it is, because it’s a Black Bird, but why is a Robin a Robin for example.
  • This is a poem about the wonderful fall colors, the orange, red, yellow and gold hues that the Maple leaves turn in the Midwest USA as Summer comes to an end.
  • One of the most interesting parts of the Rocket Garden was the various plaques that showed the development of new technologies in engines, launch pads etc, throughout the 1960′s and up to the first Moon Landing.
  • This is an entry for Karen’s Writing Challenge: Judy’s head had become cluttered and so she left her office and headed off to the local park
  • The Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center has some really unique items from the Apollo program, like an Apollo Capsule, Service Arm and White Room.
  • The visitor center at Kennedy Space Center has some maps that show the layout of Cape Canaveral, the buildings, launch pads, and landing zone etc. There is so much more there than you would have imagined.
  • In this part of the tour of Kennedy Space Center we take a tour of the launch pads, and see some of the lesser known pads used to launch unmanned missions, and also the launch viewing area.

New Profiles On Associated Content

August 27th, 2010 by tony | No Comments | Filed in Tony, Writing

Associated Content has made a great new change this week and improved the layout and content of everybody’s profile page.

As well as having a larger photo, which makes it easier to see what the writer looks like, the layout is far more pleasing on the eye, and also has a Featured Content section at the top, which allows authors to highlight their top articles.

Altogether this is a great change, and one that will hopefully help increase traffic for each author, as well as to those articles that are featured.

This is My Profile on Associated Content. 

I hope you have time to visit.  Feel free to leave me some feedback, and if you have time, I hope you enjoy reading some of my articles too.

Come To Bournemouth Before The Summer Ends

August 25th, 2010 by tony | 1 Comment | Filed in Tony, Travel

The south of England has seen some exceptional weather this summer, and like most seaside resorts, Bournemouth has been really busy with tourists and day-trippers wanting to go to some of the best beaches on the South Coast.

Last weekend was completely miserable, with low cloud and almost constant drizzle, but it still didn’t stop over 250,000 people turning out for the four day Bournemouth Air Show, even though some of the aerial festivities had to be cancelled, including the only flying Vulcan bomber.

But there is still a lot of summer left hopefully, and this coming weekend is August Bank Holiday, the perfect time to take off for the South Coast and to spend a few days at the seaside.

If you are thinking of visiting Bournemouth and you haven’t found anywhere to stay yet, HERE are some of the best hotels in the area, and some more visitor information to help you out.

Bournemouth has so much to offer the tourist, and it’s far more than just beaches.

Just a couple of miles to the west you have the millionaires paradise of Sandbanks, then the historic town of Poole with it’s harbour and Brownsea Island, home of the first ever Boy Scout camp.

Further west you have the beautiful Purbeck Hills, with the seaside town of Swanage, the majectic ruins of Corfe Castle, and of course the Tank Museum at Bovington, which houses the largest display of tanks in the world.

In 15 minutes travelling east from Bournemouth, you come to the historic market town of Christchurch, with it’s ancient priory church, old buildings, and scenic walks along the river.

Christchurch is right on the edge of The New Forest, a national park that was set up 1,000 years ago by William The Conqueror, and where horses, cattle and deer roam free.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when discussing things to do and places to visit in the Bournemouth area of Dorset.

Come visit soon, and be prepared for a wonderful time in this historic and beautiful part of Southern England.
