So, you’ve decided to go ahead and get that water tank because you’d like to store some extra water on your property or to collect rainwater or because you’ve been directed to store water for fire suppression from a government agency, like the California Department of Forestry, or your local county. The first step is often seeking information from the Yellow Pages or from a Google search, but what really makes one tank better than another, besides price?

Yes, Paris Hilton is in the news and on the internet again, but this time for something positive. Our wayward socialite turned herself in to LA County jail to serve her short jail sentence for violating her probation for D.U.I. earlier this year.

As I was running through my spam filter today to see if anything important got caught, I noticed a recurring theme. There was one particular "Make $200 per day entering simple data" e-mail (the data-entry scam) that showed up half a dozen times from different sources. It looks like the scammers find something that works then all jump on.

With our government's infamous excursions into Afghanistan and Iraq for reasons that were later found to be lies, and with Iran next on the list, it would behoove any high school graduate to find other ways to fund college than enlisting in the military just to get money for college.

Whoa, not quite what you were expecting was it? This just goes to show that the infamous "other" photos of Miss Spears are so well known they will likely follow her around for a good long while and should be filed under "W" for "What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks were you thinking?!?". Let's just hope that her rehab and long-overdue split from Kevin "Loser" Federline will help her salvage both her reputation and her career.

There seems to be quite a Hindi contigent here on Xomba or at least fans of Bollywood. For those that are either or both, this website lists the most popular sites related to Bollywood, including actors/actresses, beautiful women, hotties in bikinis, Masala photos, wallpapers, music, and videos.

While doing some research on the Internet earlier this week for my copywriting course, I came to understand what savvy businesspeople and entrepreneurs have known for a long time: that the word *free* is the most powerful word in the English language. Even a quick search here on Xomba shows that some of the most popular Xombytes and Xomblurbs contain the word *free* in the title.

Tonight will see the unveiling of the famous 1957 Plymouth Belvedere, buried in Tulsa, Oklahoma 50 years ago. It was even buried with ten gallons of gas back then, just in case the internal combustion engine became obsolete by 2007. The car was excavated from its concrete tomb earlier today, under the Tulsa County Courthouse, covered in plastic and, of course, layers of mud.

Bob Barker, the recently retired Price Is Right emcee, won his 18th Daytime Emmy.

Almost half of the Creative Craft category of 13 Daytime Emmys went to PBS's Sesame Street.

Also winning were NBC's "The Office: Accountants", Ozone's "It's Jerrytime!", Food Network's Paula Deen, and even Ellen Degeneres got in on the act with a whopping 4 of 9 Daytime Emmys for her syndicated talk show.

It seems you cannot turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper these days without hearing about one of several chains touting the convenience and ease of *payday loans*. While they are marketed as something that you cannot live without for the ease and convenience, what are you really getting yourself into?
