POPS"Black Plants" lists 75 choices for a gothy garden More: Bonine says that for maximum effect, black plants require contrast in the garden. "Gold-leaf plants work really well - or a backdrop like a light stone wall. They're especially good in containers mixed with other textures and colors." While some of the plants may be available at your local nursery, Bonine suggests seeking out a specialty nursery for the more obscure varieties.

POPSUnderwater Gardens These are utterly amazing scroll through the slides on the source page. Here is a quote from Aquascaping: Aquarium meets terrarium in the Japanese-inspired design practice: "In the display tanks of Aqua Forest Aquarium, there is no neon gravel, no miniature plastic castles, no sunken treasure boxes sprinkled with glitter. Instead, owners and brothers George and Steven Lo have created natural replicas of miniature underwater worlds: a branched piece of driftwood draped with dark green moss, a lush undulating fern-filled forest, a peaceful grassy meadow and, in a tiny 5 1/2 -gallon tank, a jewel box water-filled terrarium. Small fish and shrimp dot these environments, but like a flock of birds or grazing cattle in a landscape painting, they are only supporting characters. Here, the underwater plants get the attention." These are truly beautiful, just like bonsai or ikebana.

POPSBuild a Beneficial Bug House For those of you who are gardeners, you know the benefits of having a diverse population of insects in your yard. Encouraging beneficials into your garden also helps eliminate the need for chemical pesticides. Giving the beneficials a place to stay helps ensure you will have plenty of protection against those ‘other’ bugs that like to eat up all your hard work. Don’t worry about attracting wasps, yellow-jackets or hornets, they build their own nests and will leave this one alone. This is more for the over 3,500 species of solitary bees http://www.attra.org/attra-pub/nativebee.html . Without these bees we would not have seed set or fruit formation. So, please, do what you can to help. Here’s where the plans are: http://www.instructables.com/id/Beneficial-Bug-Houses/

POPS13 Doctors Demand Inquest Into Dr David Kelly's Death Mr Halpin said that he lost more than 6,000 pieces of correspondence - many relating to Dr Kelly - during his investigation, explaining that the mystery began when the 'firewall' on his computer, which all similar machines are fitted with as a security measure, became inactive without warning. His emails started disappearing as though they were being sifted remotely. 'I believe this will have been done by a state-sponsored agency and not by an amateur acting singly,' he said. Dr Kelly's death may have been linked to the secret world of germ warfare research. Until his death Dr Kelly was privy to some of the state's most sensitive information and worked closely with the intelligence services of all the major industrialised countries.
