For the sake of clarity, this is NOT at all what the Attorney General said. He did not tell the state Attorneys General to ignore any state laws. Holder did weigh in on a controversial discussion that has been going on for some time; were state Attorneys General obligated to defend their state's gay marriage bans when challenged in the courts, or as has been the case in a number of states (California for one, recently Oregon, and Virginia), could they decide to not defend the law? He stated that it is his opinion that they are not obligated to defend such laws if after thorough review they feel the law discriminates in a way that would be in violation of the Constitution. it is also important to note that Holder did not urge the state Attorneys General to refuse to defend such laws, and did suggest that the failure to defend a law should be a rare occurrence, and the decision to do so should be based solely on constitutional arguments, not personal or political policy. Given that a number of state AGs have already taken that position, it seems totally appropriate for the fed AG to comment, but he in no way urged, ordered, or suggested a policy for the state AGs to follow.

So, I have no reason to feel outraged, in that what was posted is simply factually wrong.

I have some experience making my own CAT 5 cables. The trick was to not unwind the twisted pairs, we cut the sheathing very close to the connector, we would grip the twisted pair wiring very tightly with a thumb and forefinger and use the thumb and forefinger of the other hand to seperate and comb the end of the wire straight, then cut it close to where the only untwisted wire would be inside of the connector. I am sure that you know that there is a correct order for the colored wire that should be observed.

Hopefully you pulled enough wire so that you had some excess so that if you made a mistake you had wire left over to correct it. That wire is solid core wire and very thin, too much bending will break the individual wires, that may very well be your problem if this is the first time you have attempted to make wire connections.

Why didn't you descend all the way and have them spitting out watermelon seeds.

Oprah has been off the air since 2011. But, when it ran:

"Audience Oprah's audience is also predominantly white: 5.9 million of whites watch Oprah, compared with 1.4 million blacks. Her reach among the Hispanic population is tiny -- only about 230,000 Hispanics watch the show daily. "

Major network news had a medically based report showing that obesity in our youth, spread across the entire ethnic demographic, is a major and urgent problem that needs immediate attention.
