| Article Title :: What Kind Of Coin Collector Are You? |
| |
| Casual coin collecting
The most ordinary type of coin collector is the casual collector. Casual collectors are both kids and adults. They collect random coins because they like the fun of it. The casual coin collector does not spend as much money on buying and preserving coins as a more advanced coin collector. Casual coin collectors usually have interest in coins with a special meaning to them, like for instance a coin minted in their year of their birth. Casual collectors often get hold of more interesting pieces as gifts from friends or family members. The gift of a rare coin has transformed many casual collectors to curious collectors instead.

| Article Title :: What small wire welder should I buy for my shop ? |
| |
| Probably the most common question we get asked is - "What wire welder (mig) should I buy for my small home shop? " It's a good question but what most people don't realize is that most small wire welders in the 110 volt range are very similar and it's probably the electrode choice, gas choice, duty cycle, input amperage and total output amperage that will matter most in the end.
Let's discuss these items
Electrode choice - Most of these small machines will come with flux cored wire. (The shielding flux is inside the wire and requires no shielding gas) Flux cored wires and small limited Amperage input/output hobby welders are not a match made in heaven.

| Article Title :: Betrosexuals: A Poker Online Phenomenon |
| |
| People wear all sorts of disguises at the poker table: weakness, strength, bluster, naivety. It’s the nature of the game. So it only makes sense that new forms of deception at the poker table would evolve as the popularity of the game’s newest innovation -- poker online -- spread. It’s no wonder then that, when you can’t see the person you’re playing against, there’s a good chance they’re not who they profess to be -- like male or female.
It’s an honest to goodness phenomenon, with its very own name -- Betrosexuality: presenting oneself as the opposite gender at a poker online table.
Now, to be fair to the term, and its history, Betrosexuali (read full article) |

| |
| It all started with Forehead Goldie, a Utah woman named Karolyne Smith who agreed to have GoldenPalace.com permanently tattooed on her forehead for $10,000 in order to pay for her child to go to school. Since then, GoldenPalace.com, the online casino and poker room more famous for its publicity stunts than its games, has capitalized on what may possibly be the final frontier in display advertising -- the human body.
In their years-long and still ongoing “Human Billboard” campaign, they have purchased literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of ad space on various peoples’ body parts, most typically through an eBay auction posted by the tattooee. Here are some recent h (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Coins, Paper Money, Or Stamps |
| |
| What should you collect as a hobby; coins, paper money, or stamps?
Which is the best investment?
It’s strange that some people who collect coins, paper money, or stamps, always want some kind of return on their investment. These are the same people who think nothing of buying a new car and then selling it a few years later for a fraction of what they paid for it. A new car loses value as soon as you drive it on the road!
As for investing in paper money, if someone is buying notes and thinking how much will they be able to get when they sell them again, this person has the wrong hobby. Enjoy collecting for the pleasure and for the fun of it.
