There are four unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) of wires inside a Cat-4 cable. As of 2011, Cat-4 has been superseded by Cat-5, Cat-5e and Cat-6 cables. Cat-4 is rarely used, which is why it is difficult to find devices specifically designed to splice a Cat-4. Still, a Cat-4 can be spliced using readily available network cable connectors, such as the RJ-45 modular plug and its matching RJ-45 keystone…

Many poker players spend the bulk of their careers simply playing in small-time tournaments or low-money rooms online. This isn't because they don't have the skill level to enter large tournaments.

By obtaining a poker sponsorship, through which a company or organization pays for you to enter tournaments, you can have your costs covered -- allowing you to enter competitions on equal footing with others.
A diamond braid is a round braid with a hollow center. It contains strands of one color that are rotated in one direction while strands of another color are rotated in the other direction, crossing over and under each other at alternating intervals. The two colors produce a diamond pattern that runs down the length of the braid. While its construction may seem complex, it is a simple braid to weave. It is perfectly acceptable to braid with rope of the same color, but using two different colors enhances the diamond pattern.
Braiding a custom rope allows you to combine multiple cords together in order to create a rope capable of holding more weight than the individual cords. Paracord is a cord material which comes in two forms, 450 and 550 cord, with the former available in more colors but able to hold less weight, as the numbers correspond with the weight ratings. A round braided rope using two pieces of paracord yields a rope which is thin enough for tying on small loops, yet capable of holding between 900 and 1,100 lbs.

A lasso is a loop made out of, and connected to, a length of rope and thrown around the necks of targets to capture them. It is most closely associated with American cowboys driving herds of cattle. Simple as it may seem, throwing a lasso to capture cattle is a skill achieved through long practice. The most important step to making an effective lasso throw is holding it correctly. If you hold your lasso incorrectly, you cannot time or control its throw well enough. Therefore, a good throw starts with a good hold.
Since its launch in 1994, players of the World of Warcraft have been trying to devise ways to outsmart the game rather than playing fairly to excel. One such attempt resulted in bots, which are characters controlled automatically rather than by direct interaction of a player. They are mostly used to farm gold, material or honor and can even be used to assist in leveling. "Autoplaying" is against the World of Warcraft terms of use. It is helpful to know how to detect one, as suspected bots should be reported.

If you have a swimming pool at your house, it can be played in the water as well.

There are several versions of poker including five-card stud, Pai Gow and Texas Hold 'Em. Playing short-handed Texas Hold 'Em is about the same as playing the full version of the game with a full table of players. A short-handed game means that there are fewer players, usually less than six. This leads to more play between the players and more forced betting. The game is played in rounds until the pot has gone to one player.
