I'm using the 5 band resister, it appears to be red red brown brown.
I figured out the problem, after looking very closely at the book. You probably can't tell in my picture, but I had the resister going from row 8 to ground. I figured that out after I tried using different parts on a different breadboard and it still didn't work. I moved the resister to row 8 to + and it works fine now. It looked like the book had it in the ground at first.
I guess I learned something new already. 
Is it okay, if I cut the LEDs and resisters down? The pins are really long and hard to manage. I usually end up bending them all up. I'm thinking they would be easier to work with, if they were shorter, but I'm not sure what that will do.
Thanks for the help!
