To start writing a blog is not such a difficult task as you just need to decide the perfect niche for you blog but after that, the main problem arises is that bringing the audience to the websites. Well, these can also be solved with the help of email plugins available for you all. If you are currently getting difficult to climb the search rankings, you may not be using the important tool that helps you to drive more traffic. The more you involve on social media, the more your search results will be better.
If you don't know how to grab driving traffic to your site through social media, Don't be tensed!
(MUST READ : How WP Engine helps in content creation? )
1. Post according to buyer
Each and Every social media platform will also not bring the same results. Sure, Facebook is the biggest network, but that doesn't mean you'll see more traffic from Facebook than from Twitter. In fact, your largest driver of traffic might just be Instagram or Pinterest. A Business that cater to other businesses mainly finds that LinkedIn has been the most helpful social media platform. The key to getting ultimate social media results is to post according to need and requirement of a buyer. You have to find out what is needed by a buyer. That means you need to select which social media platform will play host to your buyer personas.
2. Social sharing
Each and Every time you share a link to your website on a social media account, you construct links for Google to index. This can help you to boost your ratings in SEO, as social accounts are considered as quality sources. But, you want to be sure that the social platforms you are using are of good quality and always remain in good standing so as not to put at risk your site's ranking.

3. Helps in indexing content faster
The more links your site has, the faster Google will index that page. Your social media accounts that are attached to your page will display more links to both your site and others that you might share. Also adding to the capacity to bring more traffic is the rate at which your content is shared. When influencer's share your content, the page which contains that content will be indexed even more quickly.
4. High engagements
Once you have an attractive list of followers, you must engage. A social media account whose work is to do nothing but spew specials and marketing content all day will also turn off even the most loyal followers.
Engagement also involves responding to mentions and comments, but you should also go out of your way to leave comments and mentions of your own. You'll see a big difference in customer opinion in a very less time.
5. Helps in ranking articles
While keyword stuffing is generally is disapproved in your website content and blogs, but that doesn't mean you should leave them completely. Make sure that the keyword is the most important search terms that show up in your profiles for your social media accounts. This will also help you not only with Google but also with the next.
Now start using these key points for your website. Soon, you will see that your website will drive traffic from social media. Just you need to focus on the perfect social media platform for your website.

Robert built our personal getaway cabin on our property, so we would be able to share the beautiful lake view with others. My grandpa Doc said 'That would be a perfect place for a cabin'. So we named our cabin 'Doc's Lakeside Cabin' in honor and memory of him.
While staying at our cabin you can sit back and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. You will see fish, ducks, birds and possibly a bald eagle. You will definitely enjoy soaking in the spacious hot tub under the stars.
Robert & Tanya,
You could not control the weather , and it was hot. You could not control the water level in the lake, it was low. You could not control the coloration of the grass, it was a little less green. But what you could control, the overall beauty, the warmth of this place, making us feel like neighbors and not just someone who rent the cabin for a few days, you did very well. Grandpa's dream live on in you. Again , thanks for sharing his dream with us. WE WILL BE BACK

Tanya and Robert's cabin was even more beautiful than the pictures! I almost felt bad pulling back the covers and messing up the bed! The place was pristine and immaculate! Most beautiful place I've ever stayed. We enjoyed the cabin as well as the back porch! Thanks for allowing to stay!
Husband and I have been to many cabins and Doc's is by far the best! Beautiful view. Smells great. Awesome hot tub. Close to many wineries. Local breakfast items delivered to the cabin. We will definitely be going back!!
Husband and I have stayed at many cabins. Doc's is the best by far. Beautiful view. Smells amazing. Awesome hot tub. Near many wineries. Perfect!
We enjoyed a quiet, private, relaxing get-away in this fantastic lake-side cabin in Southern Illinois. It was an anniversary get-away for us, and the cabin was just what we were hoping to find! It was beautifully and tastefully decorated, and everything we needed was at hand. Since we'd been to the area before and had hiked and enjoyed most of the local wineries, we were free to mainly enjoy the quiet solitude of the cabin itself. We especially enjoyed sitting on the dock by the lake, enjoyed one evening by the fire pit, and spent most of our time either relaxing in the screened in porch or in the hot tub. The owners are nearby, but do not intrude, which made our time there feel like we were enjoying our own place by the lake. It was perfect for us, and we hope to be back sometime soon!
What a beautiful little cabin to relax and just enjoy the area and hot tub! Our stay was just what we needed...batteries recharged! The weather was not the best, in fact the ice and snow made Robert concerned. We were so glad he was watching out for us! Definitely going back again!

Two inherited unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias, Crigler–Najjar syndrome and Gilbert syndrome, arise due to deficiency of UGT1A1 enzyme activity. Crigler–Najjar syndrome type 1 (CN1) lies at the extreme severe end of the spectrum of UGT1A1 activity characterized by complete absence, followed by the less severe Crigler–Najjar syndrome type 2 (CN2). Gilbert syndrome is the mild form having only partial loss of UGT1A1 activity. The present study aimed to identify molecular genetic defects underlying unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias in children from six consanguineous Pakistani families. The patients were clinically diagnosed by exclusion of other unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias. Differential diagnosis of CN1 and CN2 was made on the basis of patient's response to phenobarbitone. The promoter region, coding exons, and adjacent splice sites of the UGT1A1 gene were PCR amplified from genomic DNA of all patients and their families, and were sequenced. DNA sequence analysis identified five different homozygous mutations: two novel missense mutations p.Y230C (proband A) and p.D36N (proband B), a 4-bp insertion c.622–625dupCAGC/p.Q208QfsX50 (probands C and E), a nonsense mutation p.R341X (proband D), and a TA insertion A(TA)7TAA in the promoter region (proband F). The present study extends the spectrum of UGT1A1 gene mutations and may be helpful in the diagnosis of Crigler–Najjar syndrome and Gilbert syndrome.

This is the perfect name for this recipe! It is the World's Best Fried Zucchini! This is the same recipe I grew up with and have been making ever since I have been married. I made this over the weekend and we enjoyed it so much. I have only one problem though, I eat the zucchini as soon as it is cooled enough to pick up and only half reaches the table! I guess the only solution is to make a double batch next time! :) Thank you, LauraLou for sharing this with us at Zaar!
This was really good!!!
I make this also, but it is done frying, I dust it with garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Very good.
Instead of a frying pan try a deep fat fryer. Also instead of just flour add equal parts of ground crackers, it gives it a nice crunch. Place the slices in the flour and crackers first then into the milk and egg wash, then back into the flour/cracker mix. Then place in deep fat fryer about 360 for about 7 minutes flipping them over halfway through. Place on paper towel and dip in ranch dressing. My family can't get enough if them.
This was a very easy recipe. It turned out much better than I expected. It truly was wonderful!!!
I love fried zucchini! I made this for lunch today. I used a small zucchini sliced thin. This was really fast. Thanks for the recipe that I will be using all summer long.
I think everything tastes great when dipped in an egg/milk mix and coated in flour--zucchini especially. This was terrific and didn't take that long at all. I added a bit of garlic and herb powder to the mix for extra taste, and the zucchini fried very quickly with a lot of butter.
yum yum! These went fast at my house. I used margerine instead of butter (cheaper, but just as good in this case) and lemon pepper instead of plain pepper.
While this had wonderful taste, it took FOREVER to get done and used a ton of butter. I used 4 medium zucchini and still had lots of egg wash and flour leftover. Since I don't have an electric skillet, I used a stovetop fry pan. I used garlic salt. We enjoyed this but since it took so long, I won't be making it again.

When you contemplate your life, and look truthfully at where you are spiritually and where you would like to be; do you see a wide gap between them? Do you really know yourself, your God, and where you are going? Take a good look now, on your own accord.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Romans 12:1 (ESV)

MOORESVILLE, NC - Growing up, I was taught to never give up, no matter what. My mother's favorite saying, whenever any of our clan got into any situation that was extremely difficult was; 'Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get back in there!'
Tenacity was something that was inherent within all of us. Personally these traits brought me to a successful career and a life as a family man with 10 children. Tenacity also brought me to a life that was too attached to the world, and even though I had a solid foundation in my Catholic faith, I seemed to never fully embrace Our Lord Jesus Christ as the solution to all things; evidently I was the solution because I could not let go and hand it off to someone else. What I thought was a great characteristic to have, was in reality something that made me in many cases independent from our Eternal Father. This contradiction led to many ups and downs, instability, fear, doubt; all feeding off of each other. I knew where I wanted to be as far as God was concerned, but I had no idea where God really wanted me to be. To find this out I had to decrease so Our Lord Jesus could increase.
Light a virtual candle today
Well, let me tell you how God reaches the mind, heart and soul of men who are full of themselves thinking they have the answers; He places them in a situation where they have no other option than to listen to Him. He did this with many of the saints; St. Francis of Assisi easily comes to mind. He was imprisoned during one of the local wars frequent during that period of Italian history. He had become ill, and in his weakened state he could no longer resist the truth, care and love of our Lord God and Father. This too was the method God used on my stubborn will.
Over the course of nearly a year of debilitating pain and limited mobility; I came to grips with who God really was, the truth about who I was, and my path in a life with Christ. I was finally able to fully place my life at the foot of the cross, and into His hands. In the midst of my suffering I was able to feel complete joy and freedom in my choice to absolutely surrender to God. My surrender was not a partial or revocable one as in my former life; it was and is daily an indelible one. Each day I go to the foot of that cross and renew my surrender. In turning my will over to my Lord and Savior, and willingly becoming His possession; my joyous freedom is renewed. His love is pure and sweet, and I run to that well to quench my thirst for it. That well is not for just me alone, it is for all that desire to have Christ fill their lives. Go, run to that well!

Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
Performance measurements come in two flavors, throughput and latency. The former is like the width of an expressway: the wider the expressway, the more cars that can travel on it. The latter is like the speed limit: the faster it is, the sooner cars get from point A to point B. Obviously, both quantities are important to any task. Many jobs, however, require more of one quality than of the other. Sticking to our roadway analogy, long-haul trucking may be more sensitive to throughput, while a courier service may be more demanding on latency. Lowering latency and increasing system response, through good old-fashioned kernel work, is the topic of this article.
Audio/video processing and playback are two common beneficiaries of lowered latency. Increasingly important to Linux, however, is its benefit to interactive performance. With high latency, user actions, such as mouse clicks, go unnoticed for too long—not the snappy responsive desktop users expect. The system cannot get to the important process fast enough.
The problem, at least as far as the kernel is concerned, is the nonpreemptibility of the kernel itself. Normally, if something sufficiently important happens, such as an interactive event, the receiving application will get a priority boost and subsequently find itself running. This is how a preemptively multitasked OS works. Applications run until they use up some default amount of time (called a timeslice) or until an important event occurs. The alternative is cooperative multitasking, where applications must explicitly say, "I'm done!", before a new process can run. The problem, when running in the kernel, is that scheduling is effectively cooperative.
Applications operate in one of two modes: either in user space, executing their own code, or within the kernel, executing a system call or otherwise having the kernel work on their behalf. When operating in the kernel, the process continues running until it decides to stop, ignoring timeslices and important events. If a more important process becomes runnable, it cannot be run until the current process, if it is in the kernel, gets out. This process can take hundreds of milliseconds.
The first and simplest solution to latency problems is to rewrite kernel algorithms so that they take a minimal, bounded amount of time. The problem is that this is already the goal; system calls are written to return quickly to user space, yet we still have latency problems. Some algorithms simply do not scale nicely.
The second solution is to insert explicit scheduling points throughout the kernel. This approach, taken by the low-latency patches, finds problem areas in the kernel and inserts code to the effect of "Anyone need to run? If so, run!" The problem with this solution is that we cannot possibly hope to find and fix all problem areas. Nonetheless, testing shows that these patches do a good job. What we need, however, is not a quick fix but a solution to the problem itself.
A proper solution is removing the problem altogether by making the kernel preemptible. Thus, if something more important needs to run, it will run, regardless of what the current process is doing. The obstacle here, and the reason Linux did not do this from the start, is that the kernel would need to be re-entrant. Thankfully, the issues of preemption are solved by existing SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) support. By taking advantage of the SMP code, in conjunction with some other simple modifications, the kernel can be made preemptible.
The programmers at MontaVista provided the initial implementation of kernel preemption. First, the definition of a spin lock was modified to include marking a "nonpreemptible" region. Therefore, we do not preempt while holding a spin lock, just as we do not enter a locked region concurrently under SMP. Of course, on uniprocessor systems we do not actually make the spin locks anything other than the preemption markers. Second, code was modified to ensure that we do not preempt inside a bottom half or inside the scheduler itself. Finally, the return from interrupt code path was modified to reschedule the current process if needed.
On UP, spin_lock is defined as preempt_disable, and spin_unlock is defined as preempt_enable. On SMP, they also perform the normal locking. So what do these new routines do?
The nestable preemption markers preempt_disable and preempt_enable operate on preempt_count, a new integer stored in each task_struct. preempt_disable effectively is:
++current->preempt_count; barrier();
and preempt_enable is:
--current->preempt_count; barrier(); if (unlikey(!current->preempt_count && current->need_resched)) preempt_schedule();The result is we do not preempt when the count is greater than zero. Because spin locks are already in place to protect critical regions for SMP machines, the preemptible kernel now has its protection too.
preempt_schedule implements the entry to schedule itself. It sets a flag in the current process to signify it was preempted, calls schedule and, upon return, unsets the flag:
asmlinkage void preempt_schedule(void) { do { current->preempt_count += PREEMPT_ACTIVE; schedule(); current->preempt_count -= PREEMPT_ACTIVE; } while (current->need_resched); }
The other entry to preempt_schedule is via the interrupt return path. When an interrupt handler returns, it checks the preempt_count and need_resched variables, just as preempt_enable does (although the interrupt return code in entry.S is in assembly). The ideal scenario is to cause a preemption here because it is an interrupt that typically sets need_resched due to a hardware event. It is not always possible, however, to preempt immediately off the interrupt, as a lock may be held. That is why we also check for preemption off preempt_enable.
AH! I get it now.
Hmm, this explains why some distros are slow or fast. Lunar Linux allows a Preemptiblle kernel. And it's just lightning fast without any bloat. Hmm, put this option with other distros...and perhaps...*ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM*
Just a rambling thought...anyways, this article comes in handy while deciding on kernel configuration in the unix console.. :p Keep it around!!
Thanks Robert,
nicely explained...
spinlocks in preemptible kernel
The information here is very helpful. thanks.
I have one question.
What is the effect of having kmalloc calls in the code that is protected with spinlock in a preemptible kernel.
kernel preemption
Excellent article, explains well. So that's where all kernel preemption stuff in 2.6 come from!
One question I always had was when the process is in kernel execution path (system call execution), doesn't scheduler_tick decrement its timeslice, and if it does when the timeslice is over, doesn't the scheduler preempts the current process, even though it might be in the middle of the kernel exec path?
Re: Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
It's helpful for me to understand the preemptive kernel.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Relevant States and Memory in Markov Chain Bootstrapping and Simulation
Markov chain theory is proving to be a powerful approach to bootstrap highly nonlinear time series. In this work we provide a method to estimate the memory of a Markov chain (i.e. its order) and to identify its relevant states. In particular the choice of memory lags and the aggregation of irrelevant states are obtained by looking for regularities in the transition probabilities. Our approach is based on an optimization model. More specifically we consider two competing objectives that a researcher will in general pursue when dealing with bootstrapping: preserving the "structural" similarity between the original and the simulated series and assuring a controlled diversification of the latter. A discussion based on information theory is developed to define the desirable properties for such optimal criteria. Two numerical tests are developed to verify the effectiveness of the method proposed here.

An evangelical historian with Baylor University agrees with Southern Baptist Convention leader Russell Moore's assessment that America was not meant to be a Christian nation in an institutional sense.
In a YouTube video uploaded earlier this month, Moore argued that to believe that America was a "Christian nation" was a product of "theological liberalism" rather than a biblical concept.
Dr. Thomas S. Kidd, distinguished history professor and associate director of Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion, told The Christian Post that "Russell Moore gets this exactly right." more >>
A mainline Protestant congregation has decided to ban Jesus' recorded statements, over the belief that they are, in the words of the church's leadership, "exclusive" and "patriarchal."
All Faiths Episcopal Church, a congregation of a couple dozen who seek to be "opening and welcoming to all," voted Sunday to stop using quotes from the founder of Christianity.
"We believe that god or goddess can be expressed in many ways, thousands in fact, all of which are acceptable," stated All Faiths' Church Council. more >>
ABC's new comedy "The Real O'Neals," which promises viewers a show about a family that "stops pretending to be perfect and actually starts being real," is deceiving viewers with its PG rating, according to the Parents Television Council.
The cheeky, no-holds-barred comedy, which makes fun of subjects ranging from pedophilia to divorce to contract killing and eating disorders, was recently praised by ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee as being " … full of family and faith and joy and humor." But not everyone is laughing.
PTC President Tim Winter says the show's over-the-top content exceeds the boundaries of its PG rating and is calling for the FCC and Congress to overhaul the TV Content Ratings System. more >>
President Barack Obama told the graduating students of Howard University they should not engage in the practice of disinviting controversial speakers or disrupting political rallies.
During his commencement speech for the historically black academic institution, President Obama addressed what he described as the apparent current trend of disinviting certain speakers.
"There's been a trend around the country of trying to get colleges to disinvite speakers with a different point of view, or disrupt a politician's rally. Don't do that — no matter how ridiculous or offensive you might find the things that come out of their mouths," stated Obama. more >>
Russell Moore says the belief that the United States is a Christian nation in the respect of being a divinely ordained country is "theological liberalism."
In a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, the head of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention tackled the question of whether or not the U.S. is a Christian nation.
"If what you mean by that is a nation in which most of the people profess to be Christians, then certainly the United States of America was and is a Christian nation," said Moore. more >>
The Rev. Franklin Graham has denounced a $36 million anti-smoking government campaign aimed at 18- to 24-year-olds that features coming out stories and drag queens called "This Free Life."
In a message posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Graham took issue with the Food and Drug Administration's initiative, arguing that it's an example of preferential treatment.
"Our Federal Food and Drug Administration is spending $36 million of taxpayer money on an advertising campaign featuring lesbians, drag queens, and transgender individuals to encourage the LGBT community to quit smoking," wrote Graham. "Doesn't everyone need to quit smoking, not just this group?" more >>

Bad Prison Wine Blamed for Landing Seven Inmates in Intensive Care
Seven state prison inmates in Florence are in intensive care, probably because they tried to get wasted this weekend.
Of course, the prison doesn't bring in bottles of pinot grigio for the inmates, so Pinal County officials are thinking it was the homemade "pruno" that did the inmates in, and landed them in the hospital with botulism.
According to information from the county, four prison-wine connoisseurs got super-sick around the same time on Saturday, and by noon Sunday, seven inmates were in intensive care.
The Centers for Disease Control is involved, as it has to release the anti-toxin in any botulism poisoning, and it has indeed released that anti-toxin to the medical professionals treating the inmates.

The county says it's not certain that the "pruno" is to blame, but prison officials happened to find some samples of this prison wine to send to the CDC.
As the county's health folks explain, "Sickness and death from botulism toxicity was more common many years ago, often coming from home-canned food and fruits. Increased attention to food safety and proper food handling methods has dramatically decreased the number of human toxicity cases from botulism."
The Arizona State Prison Complex-Eyman, in Florence, made it almost three months without a prison-wine/botulism incident.
On August 6, four inmates were hospitalized, and believe it or not, the seven inmates hospitalized in this incident were all being housed in the same unit as the last incident -- Special Management Unit 1 of the Florence prison.
According to the latest count from the prison (today), 513 inmates are housed in this unit. In total, 5,143 inmates call the prison home.

We stayed for three nights mid-March and although it was a hectic weekend (the election of the Pope and the Marathon of Rome) we had a very pleasant and friendly stay. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Our first room was very small and very expensive but we didn't complain as we knew it was a difficult weekend. The room was very clean and when we asked for softer pillows we received them whitin minutes. We had an excellent room for our last night and this was a very pleasent surprise. Breakfast is not very rich but had everything we needed. The location is perfect, close to all historic places. The hotel is surrounded by numerous Trattorias with excellent food, icecream shops, cafes, etc.
In short we were very pleased with our stay and can definitely come back.

Response to Show Us The Tattoos You Got With Your Mom:
My mom and I are Muscogee Indian (she's half and I'm 1/4 ) and Oklahomans. The Scissortail Fly-Catcher is our state bird, and the Indian Blanket is our state wild flower. My tattoo says "I am my mother" in Muscogee, and my moms says "I am my daughter." Two sessions done by Bruce Joy Jr at Solid Ground Tattoo in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
I re-watched it most recently 2 months ago. There's too many muffins to keep track of. Also, shoes.
All the trans people in NC should schedule a trip to the capitol just to use the "appropriate" bathroom. Maybe that would convince the lawmakers who voted for this ridiculous legislation just how truly asinine is it.

My boyfriend calls me BeBop because I "bebop all over the place," and I call him Darlin because, well, we're from the south.
Because you made yourself choose between Buzzfeed and HuffPo?
Not my story, but my little brother asked me to take him for his test, because he didn't think he could could pass with his mom there, so I did. They wouldn't let him take the test because he didn't have a legal guardian present (even though I was 25). We call his mom, and she comes to the test site all in a huff. What'd ya know, brother fails the test because his mom made him nervous. Dad and I bring him back the next day, and he passed with flying colors.

1995 Oldsmobile Achieva Sedan S 4dr Sedan
I have had this car for 9 months and i
put 25,000 miles on it. Until now the
only thing i replaced was the
altenator, but now at 102,000 miles
the bearing went and the engine is
shot no one will rebuild them cause
every mechanic I went to said there
just a Pain in the ass. I new engine
from GM would cost me $3200, I only
paid $2600 for it. When it ran I
liked it great gas milage for all the
power it had. If you lookin at one i
think ya should go with the 3.1
Good Power, great fuel econemy
2.3 Quad Fours should not be used i've
heard from many people that there a
pain. Like everybody else thinks I
think the interior is kinda cheap
The Achieva is a great car, has given
very little problem over the past 6
years, since I bought it
used....Strong running great car
Interior Controls are easy to reach
and accomodate the driver.
Gas struts on the hood, suck. Door
panels are cheap, Interior overall
I have the Achieva 3.1L 6cyl. It's a
fine car--always starts, always runs,
strong engine. Handles quite well, no
squeaks or rattles at 123,000 miles. No
rust at all and paint quality is
fantastic. Exhaust has lasted over 60k
miles too! Easily equal to an Accord of
the same vintage. My car drinks coolant
faster than a Green Bay Packer guzzles
gatorade--I can't find the leak,
probably the water pump, no big deal.
Superb paint quality, strong engine,
super economy, nice smooth tranny. Hood
has gas struts, no prop bar needed.
Front seats too soft, lack any side
support. Inner door panels a bit cheap.
Low beams not bright enough. I'm not
crazy about the door-mounted seat belts.
I had my car for only one year and at
first I was pretty satisfied with it.
The car picked up quickly, especially
when I needed to drive through pesky
freeway traffic. But, now I am having
engine and radiator problems. The
mechanic told me that antifreeze is
leaking internally and mixing with my
engine oil so now I am forced to either
donate my car or junk it.
The car is reliable. Even when my car
would over heat, it would never break
down on me. I had plenty of time to
drive to a safe place and park.
My car was involved in a minor traffic
accident and the women was driving
5mph. and ripped my whole front end
components off and ruined my hood.

For over fifty years, Texas Lodge of Research has been adding to the body of Masonic knowledge through research papers conducted by it members. This information is then published and distributed internationally to Masons and to Masonic Lodges and Libraries. Through quarterly meetings and regular publication, TLR inspires Masons of the Grand Lodge of Texas and other Grand Lodges all over the world to conduct research in the mysteries of Masonry and the history of our Craft, then submitting it for presentation. However, presenting a research paper is not a requirement of membership; many members join just to learn more about Masonry in general and the history of Texas Masonry in specific. Any Master Mason can become a member and our dues are only $35 per year. Click the Petition link for more information.
Ken Cochran
Encouraged To Write A Lodge History
I was asked to write a history of Empire Lodge as an extension of my
experience of writing a brief history of our lodge to present at the
dedication of the historical marker for our lodge. After the
presentation, I was encouraged by Right Worshipful Jerrel Jones, our
District Deputy Grand Master for Masonic District No. 9B (Eastern
Collin County) and a member of our lodge to do a more complete
history and present that paper to the Texas Lodge of Research. That
encouragement was supported by other members of the lodge and I
suppose it was a consensus appointment because so many members
were curious about various events in our history. I am currently
reviewing the minutes of the lodge (interesting task since our charter
was granted in 1884) and have conducted several interviews with
individuals who know certain phases of the history. I have
interviewed two great-great grandchildren of charter members of the

By HFT here I mean anything with holding period less than 5 to 10 minutes.
Any empirical/anecdotal evidence of using it successfully on even higher frequencies?
By HFT here I mean anything with holding period less than 5 to 10 minutes.
Any empirical/anecdotal evidence of using it successfully on even higher frequencies?
Holding period and trade frequency are two different things. If you have a high trade frequency, the name of the game is negotiating lower commissions. That being said, the TWS API gives you the same quality feed as you get using TWS itself.
From Article on HFT Provided by Dirk Eddelbuettel in this question about HFT:
Updates and orders with the TWS API occur on the order of 10s to 100s of milliseconds, as far as I can tell, which would disqualify it for use in the regime described in the article. (This is just what I have measured on my own computer on my retail Internet connection.)
Honestly I would be surprised if anyone could do HFT with any retail product. Sounds impossible.
I'll just add that with Interactive Brokers you have to be aware of their cancel fees. Remember, Interactive Brokers owns Timber Hill, a very large and active market maker. They will discourage you from competing with Timber Hill through monetary disincentives, among other things.
For example, if you send a directed order (i.e., you don't allow IB to SMART route it), that order will be subject to a cancellation fee. See: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=otherFees, specifically the Stock tab.
You'll notice a $0.12 fee for cancelling or modifying directed orders. This is outrageously high and completely eliminates any HF strategy, even if the latency, market data, and other issues raised in the other answers were non-existent.
IB is not interested in HFT flow. They make their money in other ways. Automated traders that choose to use IB are best off letting them route with SMART and accept/embrace the fact that Timber Hill will get a chance to internalize the order.
This has nothing to do with IB in particular. The primary issue with retail data feeds is that they run over the Internet. That means dealing with a shared line and all of the latency spikes that comes with it.
Institutional traders, even when they aren't co-located, build a private network pipe to their data vendor since that's the only way to prevent network jitter (and hacking attempts). Regardless of vendor or even application domain, it is simply impossible to run a real-time mission-critical business over the Internet.
So, no, IB can't be used for HFT. And neither can anything else.
For real HFT, IB is absolutely not going to work. The prices in IB update a max of about 7 times a second.
However, for a holding period of 5 to 10 minutes though, which is certainly not high frequency, it works fine.
Data over IB's API is not real time. You can't even match up bid, asks, and lasts with their appropriate sizes. It's actually a 200 ms snapshot. For more reliable data go with B-PIPE, DTN or eSignal (they all have APIs) and a high speed co-located Ethernet or T1 connection to your vendor. Lots of additional coding is required.
For that you need this application (high specialized client for IB):
You can have trades under 1 second (executions in few millisec). From any place.
Interactive Brokers does not offer execution or even a market data feed with speeds required for HFT. With HFT trading systems now competing for micro-seconds, as opposed to milliseconds 4-5 years ago - a typical retail trader connecting over the Internet is out of league, even with dedicated lines just the network round-trip time will render any HFT attempt impossible.
That having said - Interactive Brokers provides one of the best platforms for automated trading available to retail traders and small financial advisor firms.
For example there are third party tools such as this Excel spreadsheet that I started using recently, that make automated trading easy with just basic knowledge of Excel, without any special programming skills:
IMHO, IB is one of the best retail brokers for HFT.
It is indeed perhaps the only one that retail traders can use because: - they provide an easy to use API to trade automatically. - commissions are very competitive. I haven't found a cheaper broker then them - IB is owned by HFT firm; and they seem to know what they are doing!
I have not found any subtitute to them yet!!!!

Actually it's in Mt. Pleasant but that's adjacent to Charleston.
Car broke down while we're on vacation from out of state. Having rad replacement (infamous broken plastic neck), Exclusively Bimmers charging about $450, using OEM rad, can have it done same day, and is towing it for me from Rick Hendrick Imports, which a) had no OEM rad in stock, couldn't get me car until Thursday Sept. 7 (today's Tuesday) and b) was going to charge me about $850 - two hours labor plus about $500 bucks for radiator.
Any experience with Exclusively Bimmers? Owner says he worked for Hendrick for 7 years.
Thx and wish me luck with out-of-town breakdown, shop I've never heard of!!!!

Rhinoplasty - FL vs. OR
After a horrible consultation/blood draw experience in Florida, I moved to Oregon & decided to wait to revisit my decision with (what I was expecting to be) better care.

26 Years Old French Girl Ready for Revision! - Glendale, CA
I decided to write this review because I m becoming mad looking in the mirror or taking picture to know what I d like (you know probably what I mean if you expect a surgery). I am so impatient for a revision but have to wait until September. My story is I had a very big nose when I was teenager... READ MORE
Starting to Like it - Victoria, BC
So far Dr. Grey has been great! I'm pretty nervous as the procedure is very delicate (involves straightening a nose that has been broken and reducing some of the prominence). He is very experienced and I liked his suggestions. So, fingers crossed! I would like to maintain the same width and... READ MORE
Revision Rhinoplasty and old Scar Revision - Beverly Hills, CA
I'm doing a revision on my original rhinoplasty from 1987. I hate my nose -- it looks very piggy. I'm also doing my upper lid since I'm going to be in surgery and recovering anyway. Also I have an old scar on my face which has scar tissue attached to it ( so my smile is a bit off) so I'm... READ MORE
Here I Go Again...Best and Final Rhino - Baltimore, MD
Little History... All I asked for was a nose that looked acceptable to me. You know, one that didn't look like God was angry at me when he "chose" it. LOL. So, at the age of 18 I decided it was time to get rid of my albatross. Unfortunately, I was clueless about how to research and choose... READ MORE

Hi RealSelfers, After two failed rhinoplasties (see my other review) I decided to bite the bullet and go for a third round.

African American Female- Wide Nose. I Wanted Something Subtle and Got What I Wanted. - Newport Beach, CA
Hey guys, So my parents are from Africa which means I have your typical West African features. I love them... and it took me a while to love them especially living in West LA my entire life.

19 Yr Old, Open Revision Rhinoplasty to Address a Primary Rhino That Caused More Aesthetic Problems Than I Had Preoperatively
I had my primary closed rhinoplasty performed in 2014-- I was 17 years old and traveled to Bogota, Colombia (Dr.Mauricio Linares). The main reasons I sought a rhinoplasty were to address my bulbous nasal tip and the very slight hump I had and to narrow the bridge. Overall, my preoperative nose... READ MORE
2nd Revision....rhinoplasty with Dr Tahery Manchester Uk
This was my second revision rhinoplasty, although I never had a bad nose to begin with it was just a slight bump in my bridge from my last op that caused me concern.

Revision with Dr. Frankel - Beverly Hills, CA
Went to a local surgeon in my hometown over a decade ago for a very conservative procedure. I thought all surgeons would be of equal skill level back then--I was very ignorant on the topic. So I just found a very inexpensive guy to do it. He didn't do it right, left my septum very deviated,... READ MORE
Revision Rhinoplasty Expert! - Beverly Hills, CA
10 years ago I fixed my nose. It wasn't a typical case, as I had a partial deviation, sinus issues, and collapsed cartilage on the right side from too many volleyball slams to the face. While my first surgeon opened up my sinuses and septum and removed a small bump, he formed the tip of my nose... READ MORE
