" Oh! You cursed brat. Look what you've done. I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness."

Check out the 'beautiful wickedness' above.  According, to a new report  due for release Nov 8th by the eight-nation Arctic Council, which includes the United States and consists of 250 international scientists, the Big Meltdown is well underway.  One model predicts that, if you were born today and lived a normal lifespan, you'll live to see not even a single icecube floating in the water up yonder by summer 2070.

This surely leaves polar bears and Inuits on thin ice.  But the Bush administration  will, no doubt, refuse to take any pre-emptive action since polar ice cap melting will render huge reservoirs of currently nearly-inaccessible Arctic oil (25% of known world oil resources) newly economically exploitable.

I'm still waiting for the Antarctic to check in with its current melting projections.  If it melts just as quickly, where are we going to ship all the disenfranchised polar bear and Inuit to?  Not In My Backyard!

MY latest coolest xanga playthings: Custom Private Modules:

·Don’t ask about the cRACKER.Just know that it’s a work-in-progress, it’s all mine, and it’s better than the rest.

·My alter-xanga list is just getting started and will eventually be expanded.  Offers immediate access to viewing personal ‘other resources’.

·The xTracker is something public that you can take a look at.  But beware. Though snazzy with razzle-dazzles it has some drawbacks:

o Limited, self-curtailing log (only last 200 entries).

o Prone as a domain to exceed bandwidth and then shutdown abruptly (has done that before, will probably do it again. Especially if YOU sign up ).

o The ‘Private Module’ information (shown) of others may actually be publicly accessible if you ‘know-how’ and can make some educated guesses.

o It ‘misses’ some hits.I’ve carefully compared it to something ‘better than the rest’ and it is lacking

·         You may observe that I’ve also recently ‘privatized’My Blogrings and the Posting Calendar.  Clutter.   Pure clutter.

·      You can have as many custom private modules as you like. I’m about to create two more: 1) Xanga Brats and Bitches—a slowly-growing list of xanga assholes that I want to remind myself to avoid. 2) Addictions—a short list of xangans I like to (must) visit multiple times dail y.

Code for creating custom left modules:  http://s7.invisionfree.com/xblog/index.php?showtopic=2975    An example of my adaption is here .

Code for “privatizing”  any left module: here !

 Both will need some configuration/customization (not for faintly-code-hearted mere cut-n-pasters).
