Wouldn't it be great if iOS fully backed up your data, and did so wirelessly and automatically, without requiring you to plug in and sync? As with many features iOS is lacking by default, you can achieve this goal by jailbreaking. Here's how to set up a fully automated, wireless backup on your jailbroken iDevice.Got an Android device? Set up a fully automated backup using Titanium Backup.
iTunes isn't really backing up everything when you sync your device, but pretty much just the settings on your phone. It doesn't back up your camera roll, your calendars, your address book, and a bunch of other personal data. If you're not syncing any of these things, you're not backing them up.
You're required to sync in order to back up most of your data, and you can't do it wirelessly — you have to plug in your phone to the computer you sync it to every time.
Finally, if you've jailbroken your iDevice before, and subsequently updated iOS to a newer version, you know that you lose your jailbreak during that update. Jailbreaking again only takes a few minutes, but restoring all your jailbreak apps and extensions can be tedious and time consuming.
The backup system we're going to put into place today solves all of these problems.
If you haven't already, jailbreak your iDevice.
Get a Dropbox account. You get 2GB for free, and you can get more free space through referrals. The 2GB should be just fine for most backup plans, though.
Purchase and download PKGBackup from the Cydia store on your jailbroken iDevice. Currently it's $US8. If that seems like a lot, consider the time it takes to get all your app settings back in place one-by-one. The time-saving aspect is easily worth $US8 to this writer.
Once you've got everything ready to go we can start setting up PKGBackup the way you want. Start by opening the app. You should see a bunch of options, but to start off we need to go into the Settings panel. You can reach that by tapping the gear icon in the top left corner.
Click the "Dropbox" tab and link you Dropbox account.
In the settings panel, turn on they scan packages at startup setting and do not turn on the automatically backup on startup setting. When you're done, press "OK" to accept the settings you've chosen and PKGBackup will automatically scan your phone for things it can back up.
From the list, choose the category you want by tapping it and then selecting any packages, settings or data you want to back up.
Tap backup in the bottom right corner of the main screen to initiate backup. It may take awhile so be sure you're on Wi-Fi and can be without your phone for an hour or so (depending on how much you've chose to back up).
That's all there is to it. However, if you need a little more hand-holding through the process, you can find much more detail about each step below.
The Settings panel is a little intimidating. It's filled with buttons and switches all crammed onto your tiny little screen. Before you mess with any other settings, the first thing you're going to want to do is log in to your Dropbox account. Your second option in the Settings panel is called Primary Storage. Next to that you'll be able to choose between Addressbook and Dropbox. PKGBackup lets you choose between backing up your data to a file in your iDevice's address book, but we're not going to use that as it limits you to only backing up small bits of data. It also requires you to sync your iDevice to actually perform the backup. These reasons make Dropbox a much better option, so tap the Dropbox tab and you'll be presented with a screen that'll let you log in and link your Dropbox account.
Once you've logged in and your account has been linked, the Drobox tab will change its name to DB Logout. If you click that, the link to your Dropbox account will be severed and you'll have to relink it again. This isn't a big deal, but it's easy to accidentally tap that button and not realise it, so just make sure it reads "DB Logout" if you're ever wondering why things aren't working.
Once you've linked your Dropbox account you technically do not need to do anything else. Once you press OK at the bottom of the screen, PKGBackup will scan your iDevice for what you can back up.
You can always initiate this scan manually by opening the Settings panel and tapping the OK button, but if you want it to manually scan your packages at startup there's a switch for that called Scan packages at startup. Turn that on if you want an automatic scan every time you launch PKGBackup. You can also tell it to automatically backup on startup, but I'd recommend against this because 1) backup takes some time and it's not a process you can easily cancel, and 2) it's pretty easy to manual initiate a backup by pressing the backup button at the bottom right of the main screen when you start up PKGBackup. So if I were you, I'd leave that option turned off.
You'll find a couple of other options you can turn on and off if you want, but those aren't really that important. You'll also see backup scheduling options on the bottom half of the Settings panel, but we're not going to look at those just yet. First, let's set up your first backup.
If you haven't already, press OK on the Settings panel to return to the main PKGBackup screen. Here you'll find a single rounded rectangle beneath a header of "Installed packages" and it'll list the number of packages you have installed. If you have, say, 15 package installed, it'll probably read "Selected 0 of 15" because you have yet to select any packages.
Before we look at the other settings below, tap the rounded rectangle to select the packages you want to back up. These packages are apps, extensions, and other things you installed when jailbreaking. Some of them you may recognise and others you won't because they were installed by default during the jailbreaking process. In most cases, you're going to want to back up everything. To do that, tap the All Packages on the bottom right side of the screen to list every package. You'll see a square with an arrow pointing to the right up on the top right side of your screen. Tap that, then tap the All button that appears on your screen. This will select all packages. If you want to deselect any selected package, you can always tap the green arrow next to its name. You can also select packages individually in this way.
Once you're finished, click the back button that reads "PKGBackup" in the top left corner of your screen to return to the main PKGBackup screen. That's all you need to do to set up your package backup!
We're not quite done yet if you want to backup more than just your jailbreak packages. You'll also noticed a bunch of options under the Option header on the PKGBackup main screen. These are things like Apple Default Apps, user sources, preferences files, etc. If you want to back up any of these other items, just tap them and select what you want. They'll work pretty much the same way as backing up your packages with one exception: Apple Default Apps. Apple Default Apps just has a series of on and off toggles for your iDevice's built-in app data. Just switch these on or off to enable or disable them for backup and head back to the main screen when you're done.
Step 4: Start Your Backup Once you've chosen all your backup options, you're ready to go. Before you initiate your first backup, be prepared to leave your device alone for awhile as it is going to have to upload all of this data to Dropbox. You're also going to want to make sure you're on a Wi-Fi network because this backup process could easily eat up the allotment on your monthly data plan. When you're ready, tap the Backup button in the bottom right corner of your screen and PKGBackup will perform all the necessary steps.
Scheduling backups is very, very easy, but be sure to schedule a time when you won't be using your device so you're not interrupted. To set your schedule, tap the gear in the top left corner of the main PKGBackup screen to open the Settings panel. On the bottom half of the screen you'll find your backup options. Under repeat schedule you can tap 0 for just once, or choose to back up daily, weekly, or monthly. Below that, set the time of day (in 24 hour time) that you want to back up. If you select weekly or monthly backups, you'll also need to select a day in addition to entering a time. All you need to do is choose one of the day letter tabs at the bottom of the screen to choose your day. If you choose weekly, your back up will occur on that day every week. If you choose monthly, your backup will occur on the first chosen day of that month (e.g. if you chose Monday, backup will occur on the first Monday of every month).
Once you've made your choices, just press okay and your backup will be scheduled. You can feel free to quit PKGBackup if you like as it will initiate backups all on its own.
Restoring a backup is very simple and about the same as the backup process. To perform a restore, tap the View Restore tab at the bottom of the screen. You'll then be able to select what you want to restore in the exact same way you were able to select what you wanted to back up. Make your selections, then tap the Restore button in the bottom right corner of the main PKGBackup screen. Restoration may take some time depending on what data you're restoring, so make sure you have enough time to wait as it's a process you definitely do not want to interrupt.
Once PKGBackup has completed the restore, you're all set. You may be asked to reboot your device, depending on what you restored, so make sure you do it if you're asked.
Please correct me if I am wrong - but when I restored over the weekend after updated my JB, PGKBackup didn't restore my original App Store apps, is it supposed to? How do you then restore app store apps?
Connect to your itunes and resync your apps.
is this compatible with version 4.0.5c? for the life of me I can't find anywhere to change the settings away from address book to dropbox.

Q: Discrete math equation: True or False Hello I am having an issue with this problem. it goes like this:
There exists an n for all m such that m*n = n.

I am confused on how to approach this problem.
Thanks in advance!
edit: Is this true or false?
I originally thought false due to the fact that there is only one m such that the equation is valid.

A: Hint: Suppose that it's true. Then what could this mysterious $n$ be? Well whatever it is, the equation most hold for ANY $m$. For example, it should hold when $m = 2$ so that:
$$
2n = n
$$
It should also hold when $m = 42$ so that:
$$
42n = n
$$
Hmm...what could $n$ be? Is it the same $n$, no matter what $m$ we choose?

A: Hint: Move everything to one side, factorize, solve for $n$.

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to try this and I'm sure it will be a hit with the kiddos!
Perfection! Mine had mini chocolate chips sprinkled, too if you want a little extra sweet.
Sounds yummy! I will definitely try! It looks like a lovely alternative to the apple slices and peanut butter standby my kids devour - this one probably uses less peanut butter and has healthful nuts too! (I'll use sunflower seeds on Corinne's and add dried cranberries to Eli's).
OMG, that looks amazing. My sons would probably love it although it would be a huge mess because they are so young but yummmy!
Thanks Rita--yeah, I hear you on the mess factor! One of the reasons I sometimes don't do rice or couscous, since it falls all over the place and is hard to sweep up until it is dry!!

Two Faithfuls Save The Church Rs 50 Lakh Bill, Repair An Old Broken Clock In Under Rs 300

Even experts who are working on Big Ben's £80million restoration, said scaffolding was needed around the 287ft tower, dating to 1365, to carry out external repairs.However, cheesemaker Rick and student Jay decided to take matters into their own hands, and 'clocked' in to work.
Church officials feared that they would have to launch a major fundraising appeal to fix a giant clock at the establishment. Grimsby Minster's clock has been stuck at 12.02 for almost 12 years. But Rick Haywood and Jay Foley managed to make it work without spending obscene amounts of money on it.
Even experts who are working on Big Ben's £80million restoration, said scaffolding was needed around the 287ft tower, dating to 1365, to carry out external repairs.
However, cheesemaker Rick and student Jay decided to take matters into their own hands, and 'clocked' in to work.
According to a report by The Sun, the clock mechanism is housed in a box on the wall of the bell-ringing chamber. Both gentlemen decided to look at the clock workings at the same time. Rick, of Grimoldby, Lincs, said: "We did not think we could do any more damage."
"We found various dead pigeons gumming up the bearings. Some of the bearings were very dry. We gave it grease and WD-40 and managed to get it running. The church had one or two engineers from big clock companies and they were starting at £40-50,000 to get it running again. We saved them at least £40,000 so I am hoping for a meal invite," he added.
Jay, of Killingholme, Lincs, said: "I think the main reason it stopped was age. When we went up there, all the gears and stuff were not in the right alignment. The minutes, hours and seconds all have separate sections, which were out of order. We got the dead pigeons out and it slowly ticked along after we greased it and cleaned it out."
The duo used their mobile phones to set the time for the four clockfaces on the tower. Jay said: "It is one or two minutes out because it took that long to tighten everything up."
Church warden Chris Daniel, added, "It's amazing because you would not believe how much hassle you get when a church clock is not working."

Branded from Milton Bradley (1966)
BY Todd Coopee December 20, 2022 Filed to: Vintage Toys & Games
Company: Milton Bradley
# of players: 5-15
Where to purchase: eBay
Reputation management was center stage in Milton Bradley's Branded. Released in 1966, the game was based on the TV series of the same name that ran on NBC from 1965-1966. With box art featuring the show's star, Chuck Connors, the roll-and-move game saw players take on the fictional role of Jason McCord, a former United States Army cavalry captain who was court-martialed from the service after being unjustly accused of cowardice.
The game's object was to be the first player to salvage McCord's reputation and remove the mark of shame by capturing seven letter discs that spell the word BRANDED.
The game board consisted of a scoreboard surrounded by a path of black and white dots. The outer parts of the board consisted of five areas of black numbered circles, each containing seven letter discs.
All moves in Branded were made using a spinner. As players moved around the board, landing on a solid red dot allowed them to capture a letter disc (if available) from the nearest black circle area via a second spin. Any acquired letters were placed on the player's matching colour on the scoreboard in the center of the game board.
To keep players on their toes, landing on a solid red space adorned with McCord's trademark broken sabre allowed a player to choose any available letter disc. Players could also capture discs from other players by landing on a space occupied by another player by exact roll.
The first player to capture seven letter discs spelling B-R-A-N-D-E-D was declared the winner.
A complete game included a game board, four playing pieces and stands, four sets of letter discs, seven per set. A spinner was included, attached to the box insert. Instructions were printed on the box cover.
COLLECTOR CONSIDERATIONS
It is relatively easy to find a used copy of Branded on third-party auction sites like eBay and Etsy. Finding a copy with unpunched playing pieces and a spinner attached to the box insert is more challenging.

After being hit with <"http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/norovirus">norovirus three times in just one month, Princess Cruises claims it has a handle on the pathogenic outbreaks that have plagued its Alaska cruise ships. According to Overhead Bin on MSNBC, passengers and crew began exhibiting signs of illness in the middle of May with the sail of the Sea Princess. That trip saw 44 illnesses.
Another Sea Princess cruise—a 10-day tour ending May 30—was also affected by norovirus with 142 passengers sickened. That cruise ended on June 9 and, combined with the prior outbreak, resulted in enough illnesses for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue an alert, said MSNBC's Overhead Bin. CDC alerts are based on the percentage of people sickened.
The cruise line's onboard testing and the CDC's sampling both confirmed norovirus.
A third Princess Cruises ship, the Coral Princess, also an Alaska cruise ship, experienced an outbreak of norovirus. That outbreak, which took place in May, saw 64 passengers sickened, said Overhead Bin.
The Sea Princess was held by Princess Cruises when it docked in San Francisco on June 9 for a "prolonged and intensive sanitization," quoted Overhead Bin, citing a statement the cruise line released. Captain Jaret Ames of the CDC looked at the multiple outbreaks. "I was really trying to look at first whether or not something that was an onboard source for the illness, maybe something in the food safety system, the potable water system, the pools and spas and so forth," he said, quoted Overhead Bin.
Nothing was revealed, which prompted CDC staff to review onboard practices. "We did have some specific review we did in the areas of housekeeping and actual disinfection of cabins because we felt there were some cabins that repeated as cabins that had ill people in them and we wanted to make sure the disinfection in those cabins was done completely," Ames said, quoted Overhead Bin.
The CDC released the Sea Princess to start the cruise it is currently on after sanitizing. A week into the trip, "There have been 13 passengers and two crew members with norovirus on this current voyage, which as the CDC says, isn't considered a hugely escalated number," Karen Candy, Princess Cruises' manager of media relations, told msnbc.com, quoted Overhead Bin. The CDC will continue to follow the Sea Princess until it docks in San Francisco on June 19.
Norovirus outbreaks occur frequently in closed populations, such as on cruise ships, and are a group of viruses that cause swelling in the linings of both the stomach and intestines, according to the CDC. A highly contagious, severe gastrointestinal illness commonly referred to as the so-called "stomach flu," Norovirus spreads quickly because it transmits easily through the vomit and feces of people sick with the illness. Contact with only a few particles can make a person ill.
Norovirus, which can survive for weeks on surfaces at room temperature, can be difficult to eliminate, and can only be killed with chorine bleach. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers and other preparations are not too helpful. People are generally considered to be contagious from when they feel ill to about three days after their symptoms subside; however, the virus can still be active in their vomit or stool for two weeks or more.
We've long been writing about the ongoing incidences of norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships, including one in January on a Royal Caribbean Radiance of the Seas with hundreds of ill passengers. Just prior, 96 people on the Sapphire Princess fell ill on a Princess Cruise ship. Over 400 passengers on a recent Celebrity Cruise lines trip were sickened in just one of eight prior such outbreaks in 2010; four took place in one week, said the CDC, which runs a cruise ship sanitation program that was criticized in 2009 for doing a poor job of detecting dirty cruise ship bathrooms. In 2009, there were a total of 15 cruise ship outbreaks of norovirus. And, according to a prior New York Times article, there were more than 60 outbreaks of norovirus on cruise ships since 2005.

I hate coming home late from work, and not knowing what in the world to make for dinner. It's always nice to have a couple simple ingredients around to scrounge up a super quick, tasty and healthy dinner.
The other night, it happened to be tilapia tenderloins quickly marinated in my favorite salad dressing. Newman's Own Light Lime Vinaigrette. This is a GREAT marinade for fish and/or chicken. (I use it for fajita's with some Emeril's Southwest Spice Mix as well).
Literally, you just marinate the fish in the dressing for 10 minutes. While that is marinating, throw your sweet potato in the microwave, and start steaming your spinch. Then, heat some olive oil in a grill pan, get it nice and hot, and throw on your fish.
Cook it on each side four about 4-5 minutes, and plate on a nice platter with your spinach and sweet potato.
Dinner in 20 minutes! Enjoy!

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by PHALLIUS, Apr 12, 2009.
I wanted to update to Waninkoko's 4.0 u mod formware. I have been eyeing wii music and a couple of other new titles. Currently at 3.2U. Should I upgrade? Can I play wii music right now if I go out and buy it? Can it be loaded to the USB loader. I have the ultiimate loader 1.1 with png covers. Any help would be appreciated.
you can play Wiimusic on 3.2 yes, and you could dump it to the hard drive.


Through websites like meetup.com and plenty of others, there are dozens of groups that get together and discuss topics relevant to almost every business, industry and interest you can think of. Of course, it takes time and commitment to go to a meetup in person instead of digital alternatives like a Google Hangout or webinar. Get as much as you can from the event by going prepared.
Here are some lessons I learned from attending a recent Nashville meetup focused on link building for Nashville businesses hosted by the fine folks at Raven Tools at their "HQ," located in an area known as The Gulch, in downtown Nashville.
It may seem like a no-brainer, but it can really open some doors for you and give you time to have more conversations, especially with the hosts. You should plan on being early enough to get involved in the pre-networking. From a business development perspective, this is your best chance to meet anyone you were hoping to since people tend to rush out after the talk, especially if it's a lengthy presentation.
Be sure to leverage both the event itself for its value, as well as its ability to connect you with the other participants in the meetup and by extension, their audience of followers and fans. Be sure to announce your intent to attend, invite others, share information learned and connect with other attendees' profiles.
This is a great way to help people connect your digital persona with your real-world persona. It's a good way to make sure that you're making an impression that can lead to further collaboration in the future and connecting with someone who is more likely to share and interact with your social media posts in the future.
It seems cliche, but it's actually a good investment to have some way of passing your contact information to the people you're meeting. In the past, I've done things like write down a bit.ly link on a puzzle piece that would lead to my website or G+ profile. But honestly, just having a business card printed on quality stock paper is an easy win because it unburdens people from having to work too hard to remember your name and contact details.
While you're there, be sure to write down names, ideas and topics discussed that were interesting. This will ensure that you're able to write a follow-up blog post that will be a sharable and helpful resource for everyone else who attended. To get an even wider reach, be sure to mention people you met at the meetup and interesting insights that came out of it. For example, there was a discussion between me, Jon Henshaw and Michael Mcdougald about the viability of creating third party web resources as a way to send legitimate traffic and links to your site or client's site. Not only is that an interesting topic to read about, but mentioning specific people will lead to them sharing your content with their audience, who are also probably in your target audience.
Everyone likes to be seen as an authority, so giving people the opportunity to show off their abilities will not only help you by answering your question, which should actually be a problem you hope to resolve, but could also make inroads for them to collaborate with you and other attendees on future ideas or business opportunities.
Not all meetups are run the same way, but many of them will feature some sort of learning presentation. If you've ever been a presenter, you know how awkward it can be in those seconds after you ask the audience, "Any questions?" and get a wall of sheepish or blank stares in response. Bringing something new or interesting to the topic with a question, or even sharing a helpful tip if it's strongly related to the subject being discussed, will help the presenter not feel that same old awkward response.
For example, Jeff Siebach had a slide about sponsoring teams as a way to build up links, and I added an idea I've leveraged before to consider other sports aside from little leagues, like Women's Roller derby teams.
I asked Alex Via, our business development manager, for some things he does when he attends meetups and he had this gem to contribute.
"If you can, look to see who else is going to the event and learn a little about the people you want to meet (i.e. read their discussion points, blogs, check out their website, or even their social media accounts)." This is a great tip because you will lessen the mental workload of remembering names, and have some topics lined up to bring up in conversation.
There's a good chance there will be people headed to a nearby bar or restaurant after the session, and trust me, you want to be in on the conversations that happen there. You'll build up real relationships and hear slightly different views than might be shared in the atmosphere of a meetup. At the worst, you get a bite to eat or a tasty beverage.
If you have the space in your office or can make arrangements for a venue, it could be worth your effort to play host. You'll be the subject of those social messages, get links from blog posts on what happened and have access to the audience of everyone that attends.

There are many word press security plugins that help you protect from attackers. WP Cerber is an excellent plugin with great reviews and ratings. I am currently using this plugin and it is really doing a good job for me. I can be at peace not worrying about anyone hacking my website.
The dashboard displays both the activity and locked out ip addresses of people who are trying to hack your word press admin. So it really helps in identifying geo locations from where these attacks happen the most. The dashboard does not provide any Map, but you can always look up the ip address on the internet and find out where the attacks are coming from.
From the above picture you can actually see how many people are trying to hack my website since the last 24 hours. People actually do have lot of free time, isn't it.
The settings page will provide you with options of how many login attempts allowed with in a certain duration. Aggressive lockouts provide you with very long lock out periods. There are many other settings which you can choose based on how secure you want your admin site to be. The out of the box ones are custom login page and citadel mode.
Custom login page allows you to have an alternative url for your admin login page. This will make it impossible for the attackers to identify the login page name.
Citadel mode will block all the users who are trying to access your admin site. The current logged in sessions are not affected. You would use this only in extreme cases.
Access lists will help you in defining White IP access list i.e allowed ip addresses and Black IP access list i.e by default denied ip addresses. You know that people from certain ip addresses are always trying to hack your website then you add those ip addresses to the Black IP access list. You can add your own ip address and your website contributors ip addresses to the White IP access list.
There are other settings like Hardening, Username restriction and Notifications which will all help you in making your word press website more robust and secure.
If you are currently not using any plugin to protect your word press website, i will suggest you to start using WP Cerber.


It is hard to describe the level of excitement that the building of this new Health Centre has generated. This extension became essential as the Govt degree was that Buccama would no longer get a licence to practice if it was not upgraded to Health Centre. This involves building and filling two 10 bed wards( male and female) toilets, septic tank, office, pharmacy and admin room.
Otherwise, the clinic would be closed, all the dedicated staff would have to seek employment else where and the community would lose this amazing facility in the midst of their hardship.
Sister sought for help from the obvious sources and I don't care to repeat some of the rejections she received. Fortunately thanks to the incredible generosity to EMP during 2015/2016 We are able to fund the work in three distinct phases. Apart from all the usual stuff, this has been our main focus this trip. The other unforeseen aspect by us at least, is that contractors are using all the local people from around here. They will actually be building, and being paid to build, their own Health Centre. WIN WIN all round.
It can only be providential that everything has managed to move so quickly. From reliable contractor to willing workers at every turn. Hence the fact that the work has actually started on the promised day and that we will be able to say, " We have seen the beginning of a dream coming true." We are burying a box with lots of symbols that represent the hopes and dreams of this wonderful little establishment.
As mentioned previously this old lady was brought in completely unable to move as she had lain in bed for 4 years on discovery of her prolapse. For some reason, hard to decipher, she stopped moving. Her young daughter gave up school to look after her and it never occurred to them to bring her to the clinic.
When she finally came in, carried on a stretcher her legs were frozen in the curled up position. Now the clinic has fed her and Maureen has massaged her legs and back every day. We are getting some rudimentary physiotherapy going and low and behold she is starting to move. Not walking yet and that seems quite distant, but transferring herself from bed to chair or wheelchair( of the rickety variety). Maureen is also teaching the daughter to continue with the massage which is definitely loosening the contracted muscles. As the daughter can be no more than 17. We guess that the woman is not actually old at all, so we are optimistic that she will get going. All miracles welcome! Just one more drop in the ocean .
But mostly we are seeing progress which is very pleasing. We just have to learn acceptance, patience never giving up!.

Q: How to handle and perform actions fast on websocket data in c#? I am connecting to third party data feed provider's server using websocket.
For websocket connection my code is :
this.websocket = new WebSocket("wss://socket.polygon.io/stocks", sslProtocols: SslProtocols.Tls12 | SslProtocols.Tls11 | SslProtocols.Tls);

So when connection become established we are receiving nearly 70,000 to 1,00,000 records on every minute. So after that we bifurcating those response and store it in it's individual files. Like if we receive data for AAPL then we store that data into AAPL's file. Same as for FB, MSFT, IBM, QQQ,and so on. We have total 10,000 files which we need to handle at a time and store live records according to it.
public static string tempFile = @"D:\TempFileForLiveMarket\tempFileStoreLiveSymbols.txt";
public static System.IO.StreamWriter w;
private void websocket_MessageReceived(object sender, MessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
  using (w = System.IO.File.AppendText(tempFile))
  {
     Log(e.Message, w);
  }
  using (System.IO.StreamReader r = System.IO.File.OpenText(tempFile))
  {
     DumpLog(r);
  }
}

public static void Log(string responseMessage, System.IO.TextWriter w)
{
     w.WriteLine(responseMessage);
}

public static void DumpLog(System.IO.StreamReader r)
{
  string line;
  while ((line = r.ReadLine()) != null)
  {
     WriteRecord(line);
  }
}

public static void WriteRecord(string data)
{
   List<LiveData> ld = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<LiveData>>(data);
   var filterData = ld.Where(x => symbolList.Contains(x.sym));
   List<string> fileLines = new List<string>();
   foreach (var item in filterData)
   {
      var fileName = @"D:\SymbolsData\"+item.sym+ "_day_Aggregate.txt";
      fileLines = File.ReadAllLines(fileName).AsParallel().Skip(1).ToList();
      if (fileLines.Count > 1)
      {
         var lastLine = fileLines.Last();
         if (!lastLine.Contains(item.sym))
         {
               fileLines.RemoveAt(fileLines.Count - 1);
         }
      }
      fileLines.Add(item.sym + "," + item.s + "," + item.p + "-----");
      System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(fileName, fileLines);
   }
}

So, when websocket connection established and perform actions with live market data with our 10,000 files then it's become slower and also websocket connection become closed after few minutes and passing message like below :
Websocket Error
Received an unexpected EOF or 0 bytes from the transport stream.
Connection Closed...

I am performing whole this process because in next phase I need to perform technical analysis on live price of each and every symbols. So how can I handle this situation ? How can I make process faster then this processing speed? and how can I stop for connection closed ?
After Edit
I replace stream writer and temp file with String Builder like follow,
public static StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
public static System.IO.StringWriter sw;
private void websocket_MessageReceived(object sender, MessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
      sw = new System.IO.StringWriter(sb);
      sw.WriteLine(e.Message);
      Reader();
}

public static void Reader()
{
     System.IO.StringReader _sr = new System.IO.StringReader(sb.ToString());
     while (_sr.Peek() > -1)
     {
            WriteRecord(sb.ToString());
     }
     sb.Remove(0, sb.Length);
}

public static void WriteRecord(string data)
{
     List<LiveData> ld = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<LiveData>>(data);
     foreach (var item in filterData)
     {
           var fileName = @"D:\SymbolsData\"+item.sym+ "_day_Aggregate.txt";
           fileLines = File.ReadAllLines(fileName).AsParallel().Skip(1).ToList();
           fileLines.RemoveAt(fileLines.Count - 1);
           fileLines.Add(item.sym + "," + item.s + "," + item.p)
           System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(fileName, fileLines);
      }
}

A: It looks like you append each message to the tempFile, but then you process the entire tempFile. This means you are constantly re-processing the old data plus the new record, so yes: it will gradually take longer and longer and longer until it takes so long that the other end gets bored of waiting, and cuts you off. My advice: don't do that.
There's also a lot of things you could do more efficiently in the actually processing of each record, but that is irrelevant compared to the overhead of constantly re-processing everything.
