The remote, rugged, rough country of North West Ulster possesses buildings as varied as its landscape. Monuments of the Celtic church - sculptured cross-slabs, high crosses and round towers - and medieval tower houses survive from its earliest centuries. Fortified houses from the Plantation period are succeeded by Georgian mansions, and the richly varied urban and rural buildings of the Victorian period. In its churches both Protestant and Catholic, North West Ulster shows itself no less diverse.
Have you ever watched an inappropriately rated movie with children and later regretted it? As hosts of the weekly radio review show and authors of Frame by Frame: 2006-A Family-Friendly Guide to the Movies , Dr. Rus and Sandra Jeffrey cut through the Hollywood hype to offer concise, easy-to-read movie reviews designed with families in mind.

This timely volume provides a comprehensive account of the natural history of the organisms associated with the deep-sea floor and examines their relationship with this inhospitable environment--perhaps the most remote and least accessible location on the planet. The authors begin by describing the physical and chemical nature of the deep-sea floor and the methods used to collect and study its fauna. Then they discuss the ecology of the deep sea by exploring spatial patterns, diversity, biomass, vertical zonation, and large-scale distribution of organisms. Subsequent chapters review current knowledge of feeding, respiration, reproduction, and growth processes in these communities. The unique fauna of hypothermal vents and seeps are considered separately. Finally, there is a pertinent discussion of human exploitation of deep-sea resources and potential use of this environment for waste disposal.

Ever wondered how Channing Tatum rose to stardom? If there is a record for most meteoric rise from unknown actor to Hollywood A-list superstar, Channing Tatum would be in serious contention. The muscular and attractive leading man has charmed audiences for what has seemed like years, but, in reality, has only been acting for less than a decade. Much has been made in the media about the novelty of Tatum’s early career as a stripper, but little is reported about the actor’s tireless dedication to his craft. Although originally pegged as another mindless action star by critics, Tatum has demonstrated in recent years that he has a natural acting charisma, serious dramatic chops, and excellent comedic timing.
