If you stumbled into this post first you may want to have a look over this previous post as we are building upon steps covered there.
So far we have got our world binaries built and these are the foundation of the environments we setup for testing our port builds. From here we create a tinderbox build. Within tinderbox a build refers to a combination of world binaries (the tinderbox jails we setup before) and a version of the ports files. It is probably a rare case but it would appear that you could setup a build using say netbsd pkgsrc system or similar, the most likely alternative to the official ports system would be an internal development branch of the ports source.
The first step is to setup the ports files to be used. A cvs checkout is shown in the docs and you could adjust the svn usage from yesterday if you have your own local svn repo (official ports are still in cvs at this point). The examples in the docs show a source checkout that is unique to your tinderbox setup. I think using the system installed ports will be enough for what I want and will bypass the confusion of three copies of the ports files. Personally I use portsnap to update my system ports tree and create or update a port there to test and develop it. Then I have a copy within my home folder that is an svn checkout from my redports account that I transfer changes to that I want to keep, and commit as desired from there. While my personal folder is just the ports I make changes to, I don't want a third copy just for test builds, so what I will use here is a user defined update method that will run portsnap anytime I want to update the ports tree. We have two options here, 1. create a portsTree with no update method leaving us to run portsnap manually as desired. 2. create a portsTree with a user update method. The first option is straight forward and acceptable for most but I want to look at option 2 here.
Reading the docs you may jump straight in and use a command like
You may also want to share your local distfiles with tinderbox. Pretty easy and the one setup is shared across all portstree configs -
Now that we have our jails and portsTree setup it is time for the build. Remember a tinderbox build is a combination of a specific jail and portsTree and is straight forward -
The name I used there may raise a few questions but first lets consider what variations of builds we want to use.
The aim of using tinderbox is to test building under a variety of conditions, in this case primarily different system versions. To that end we started by creating 2 jails with different versions of world binaries, you may have extended that number and I encourage you to do so but I use two in these examples. From FreeBSD 9.0 we are moving away from a dependency on gcc as the main compiler and now include clang within the base system. Being in the early transition of this is a bit awkward as not all ports build with the old gcc v4.2 that is included with base and not all ports build with clang either. Well ports changes need to be tested with each compiler so we may get a full ports build happening on any system install. One option we have is to specify what version of gcc is used to build our port. Easy till we get linking issues with something like boost installed with gcc42 and not linking with a gcc46 built port (that is my early guess and may not be the location of a solution). So anyway I am suggesting that a number of builds are setup to test building with clang as well as gcc. This will only apply to 9.0 and higher, 8.3 has just entered beta1 and doesn't appear to include clang. The other question you may have is that I only put clang in the name, how does it know to build with clang? It doesn't yet - that comes in a minute.
Well using the two jails we built yesterday lets setup the builds -
Now we have four builds setup to test our ports in. As I suggested before you should also consider having at least an 8-STABLE jail setup and maybe even a 7-STABLE one as well if not more. As clang is not included in 7 or 8 there is no need to setup two builds for each, I would still use gcc in the build name though.
At this point you will find a few directories have been created. The first you will probably see is tinderbox/{BUILDNAME} so if your following along you will have four there corresponding to each build you setup. The next ones are inside tinderbox/builds and have the same names as the four we just looked at. The dirs inside builds contain a Makefile with all the package dependencies and although you may think make.0 and make.1 are makefiles they are in fact logs containing the log of the last compile done, each port compile is run in two phases, and a more than likely empty duds file. The top level dirs are where all the work is done. For each port you make, tinderbox will extract the tarball found in the corresponding jail build and mount the various points needed for portstrees/distfiles/devfs/procfs. From that you can work out that each build starts up in a unique environment (it uses chroot) completely isolated for your test make. Each environment is cleaned up after each test make and the log files will include files left behind if you get your pkg-plist incorrect.
Now to configuring the compiler to use. When you first test making your port and look at a log file you may notice that the timestamp at the start is all wrong. That will be a wrong timezone setting and gets us close to the compiler settings. First lets set the timezone, so edit the file tinderbox/scripts/etc/env/GLOBAL and add the following line (adjusted to match your timezone of course)
You can see that it uses a bash style environment setting. Within the same folder we want to create a config file for each build we setup using the name build.{BUILDNAME} and have it contain the CC options that we wish to use. Before you go thinking about copying all your /etc/make.conf settings consider the purpose of this - testing against a minimum system config to ensure your port is as compatible as possible. Those with a custom edited make.conf need to handle their own port build conflicts with the options they want to use. So here all we want to do is set the compiler to use. To make this easy let's make a script, I will put this inside tinderbox/scripts and lets call it gencompilerenvfiles.sh
Pretty straight forward if you know some shell scripting, if it's a bit beyond what you know it simply gets a list of dirs from within builds and outputs three lines to a corresponding config file for each one. The script won't touch files that already exist, so delete them if you want a clean slate or adjust if you want to add to existing files. The first loop uses grep to get clang named builds the second gcc. Is it overkill specifying gcc for the gcc builds - yep - but it keeps things consistent and also gets the CC setting output to the log file to remove any confusion when looking over them later, or more to the point when you get someone else to look over them for some help.
Now your all setup to use tinderbox to test your ports building. While the docs say you can do an adhoc build with just the tinderbuild command I find that not to be the case, the two command you use are
The first time you build a port it may take a while - it will build each dependency needed, basically running make package-recursive for your port. Next time it will just pkg_add each dependancy and build the port you ask it to. The -nullfs option is needed if you setup the nullfs mount for portstree as shown above (or maybe it is for distfiles?). This adds some more dirs for you as well.
tinderbox/packages/{BUILDNAME} will contain all the packages created by that build. You will find a folder for each category containing links to the corresponding package inside the All dir.
tinderbox/logs/{BUILDNAME} will contain log files of each port compiled for that build.
tinderbox/errors/{BUILDNAME} will contain copies of the log files that had errors - this is probably all your really interested in.
That's about all you need to get up and running with tinderbox. I think I will do one more post covering some housekeeping and other notes. To close off I'll show a script I use to automate running any number of ports inside every build you have configured, I save it in tinderbox/scripts and call it testbuilds.sh
So to make use of the script
and it will go through and compile each port with every tinderbox build you have setup.

Windows Phone 7.8 is just heading out to consumers, but appears to be wrapped up in a strategic deployment. Should you wish to no longer wait for the update to prolong the lifespan of your Windows Phone 7 handset, XDA Developers forum has the CAB files listed for download. Be sure to file this under "Experienced users only."
As well as Windows Phone 7.8, (build 8858) files are also available for the previous build 8779 aka 'Tango'. So how does one go about this? We published an in-depth tutorial which also builds off of this article on how to go about updating your Windows Phone manually. Both are well worth checking out if you're considering this path. Just like forcing the Tango update, while following such a guide, be sure to ignore previous build numbers in the article and use what's stated over on XDA.
Windows Phone Central cannot take any responsibility should a process you undertake render your Windows Phone useless. Continue at your own peril! And remember, you won't get any OEM specific firmware that may come with the update, so you may want to wait a few days.

Could mining social media have prevented Benghazi attacks?
With the September attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, Obama administration officials have fought a slew of accusations blaming them for not foreseeing the attack, or not acting in time to protect personnel.
One counter-argument has focused on the basic assertion that there were no clear indications that an attack would occur, a point reiterated recently by the U.S. government's intelligence czar. "If people do not emit or discuss their behavior, it's hard to find out what they are going to do," Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper said at the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation's annual forum in Orlando, Fla., in October.
Yet at the same conference where Clapper made his remarks, companies selling software to the defense and intelligence community were trying to do just that: help anticipate attacks such as the one that took place in Benghazi. "There were indications that there would be a protest in front of the U.S. [Consulate] in Libya at 4 p.m. the day before it took place," claims Andrew Doumitt, the vice president of business development for TerraGo Technologies, a company that makes software that allows users to sift through multiple data sources, including social media, based on specific geographic areas.
In fact, TerraGo's software is, in many ways, custom-suited to looking at something like a potential attack on a U.S. base or embassy because it can trawl through millions of social media postings and flag information based on a specific location. "Let's say that we wanted to do a buffer zone around the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a, [Yemen]" says Doumitt. "We can set up an alert; we can start by seeing what's being written about in this area."
The software may not indicate exactly which events may spiral out of control, such as what was alleged at one point in Benghazi, but it can provide a red flag. "You essentially have a way to monitor a place against social media, news and blogs; you can much more specifically react and monitor a whole lot more sources for trigger terms," says Doumitt.
More than just a novelty, such software is part of a growing government and private sector market for data-mining that combines open-source information with more traditional data collection. The defense and intelligence community is increasingly using such tools, and In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm, has invested in a number of companies working on these tools, including TerraGo.
While such software may have once been seen as a niche area, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the U.S. military is trying to disrupt insurgent networks and locate roadside bombs, has moved this work into high demand. It has also sparked a public battle over the Pentagon's investment in the Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A), the military system used for combining and sorting through intelligence collected in the field.
At the center of the battle is Palantir, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based company that has built software programs that look for hidden connections in data. Palantir, which also received financial backing from In-Q-Tel, has quickly moved into a marketplace once dominated by traditional defense companies.
While the U.S. Army has provided Palantir software to a limited number of analysts in the field to help track improvised explosive device (IED) networks, it has favored sticking with its homegrown system, the DCGS-A. Supporters of the Silicon Valley-based Palantir have argued its software offers superior capabilities.
Jonathan Percy, vice president for homeland security and cyber at Overwatch, an operating unit of Textron Systems, calls claims of Palantir's capabilities "nonsense," arguing that Palantir can only do "5%" of the total mission performed by DCGS-A. Overwatch, which builds the data analysis tools for DCGS-A, has been ramping up for its own battle with Palantir, including a recent move into homeland security and law enforcement markets.
"What they're trying to do is set themselves up," says Percy of Palantir. "They're trying to force the Army to buy Palantir and just get rid of the investment."
But Palantir has also found allies in Congress; Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) has accused the Army of altering a test report that gave a positive review of Palantir's software compared with DCGS-A. Congress over the summer launched an investigation into the Army's handling of Palantir.
These sorts of data-mining tools are moving well beyond the current war in Afghanistan and are of interest in areas like Africa, where the U.S. military is tracking terrorist and insurgent networks. There, too, social media is a central focus, particularly in areas where traditional sources of intelligence, such as airborne sensors, may be in short supply or prohibited.
"Our sensors are a scarce resource," says Tony Frazier, a senior vice president at GeoEye, a commercial satellite company, which also has an analytics unit. "If you want to take eyes off of Afghanistan, Iran or wherever the key hot spot is, then you need to be able to tap into a broader source of content."
Frazier says GeoEye already is working on an Africa-focused project that is culling social media data to help get information that might otherwise only be collected through traditional signals intelligence. He declined to offer further details.
Of course, such analytic work is drawing on far more than social media: Agencies, whether military or law enforcement, can use their own proprietary databases, news articles, or even data from classified sources. While much of GeoEye's analytics work for Special Operations Forces and the intelligence community is classified, the company does openly discuss some aspects of its simulations, such as looking abroad at production sites for IEDs, or in the U.S. for methamphetamine labs.
The company also recently released a geospatial analysis of Al Shabaab, the Somalia-based wing of Al Qaeda. Using the company's Signature Analyst program, GeoEye says it was able to identify areas not previously recognized as high-threat where Al Shabaab might emerge.
The ability to use analytics to make predictions—whether about IED production sites or locations of future terrorist attacks—may sound attractive, particularly when looking at a catastrophic event like Benghazi, but the reality is that this sort of forecasting still falls far short of being a crystal ball. GeoEye claims it had 66% accuracy for predicting attacks for one government client.
In that case, the benefit is really in helping someone know where to look rather than in predicting a discrete event, according to James Anderson of GeoEye's analytics division. "Sixty-six percent by itself sounds not-that-much-better than a coin toss, but when you are eliminating 98% of your terrain that's a very significant reduction," he says.
Lockheed Martin is also offering its own program for analyzing social media, called LM Wisdom, which it touts as "transforming Internet chatter into usable intelligence." Lockheed started Wisdom about five years ago, but at the time was collecting information primarily from news sources. The company has more recently moved into collecting from social media, according to Ollie Luba, Lockheed principal for open-source intelligence integration.
Meantime, private companies increasingly are also concerned about what social media postings on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn might mean. "We have some commercial clients where we're looking at their security postures," says Luba. "We're looking at when organizations are starting to protest against them. You can pick up some of those early protests right away. We start watching that and looking at the trends to see if it could be something or not."
Lockheed Martin is also the prime contractor for a program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency called the Integrated Crisis Early Warning System, which uses news media to forecast specific events, such as revolutions or political instability. "Probably our next step in rolling out some of those analytics will be taking in social media," says Luba.
How much precision can these sort of analytic capabilities provide the defense and intelligence community? One problem of any software program is that it is only as good as the data it is being fed, a lesson learned from an October Senate report that blasted the Homeland Security Department's fusion centers, which are supposed to collect and analyze domestic intelligence to help identify potential terrorist plots. The report said those centers had "not produced useful intelligence to support federal counterterrorism efforts," quoting one official as saying it produced "a bunch of crap."
Indeed, when it comes to fusing data, whether in the U.S. or abroad, the ultimate question is whether millions of daily Tweets and Facebook postings can be transformed into useful intelligence. "Posting something on Facebook is not in and of itself evidence," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in response to revelations that a militant group took credit for Benghazi just hours after the attack. "It just underscores how fluid the reporting was at the time and continued for some time to be."
In the end, it could be that the work of companies like TerraGo may prove that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. While Facebook and other forms of social media would not have predicted the Benghazi attack, it could have—if monitored and analyzed in real-time—provided early warnings that something was brewing and that perhaps more resources were needed in the area.
Doumitt, for his part, avoids extravagant claims. He says that data, like the Facebook posting linked to the U.S. Consulate prior to the Benghazi attack, would simply have indicated plans for a large demonstration. "It's not magic."

Hello, we over at "Duchess Mew" had a critical scanner failure so we're in the market. Could any one recommend a particular scanner that they've had good luck with? I'll be mostly scanning uncolored inked artwork that is about 11x17 in size (of course we may use it for other things like photos). We're hoping to find a reasonably priced one that is closer to an 11x17 flatbed, or at least larger than 8.5 x 11.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations you might have.

Product description Usage: Pharmaceutical material, Steroid hormone, Anabolin. Male hormone drugs for male sexual dysfunction, aplastic anemia. Testosterone propionate is also called the testosterone propionate, testosterone propionate, under normal temperature for white crystal or white crystalline powder, odourless. Insoluble in water, soluble ethanol or ether, slightly soluble in vegetable oils, easily soluble in chloroform. Pharmacological effects similar to a testosterone, but slightly stronger than the latter. Because oral easily destroyed by the liver, the oral is invalid. Often intramuscular injection solution, the oil absorption is slow, strong and durable, can maintain time for just a few days. Testosterone propionate can promote the development of male organs and secondary sex characteristic, promote protein synthesis and bone formation, estrogen, inhibit the growth of endometrium and ovary and pituitary function. Used for testosterone, cryptorchidism, male hypogonadism, gynecological diseases, such as menorrhagia, uterine fibroids, senile osteoporosis and aplastic anemia. The propionate ester can be very irritating to the site of injection. In fact, many sensitive individuals choose to stay away from this steroid completely, their body reacting with a pronounced soreness and low-grade fever that may last for a few days. Those who do not mind frequent injections will find propionate to be quite an effective steroid. As with all testosterones, it is a powerful mass drug, capable of producing rapid gains in size and strength. At the same time the buildup of estrogen and DHT (dihydrotestosterone) will be pronounced, so typical testosterone side effects are to be expected. Character: White crystalline powder. Testosterone propionate is sensitive to light. Incompatible with alkalis and oxidizing agents. 3.

US offers up to $5m for leads on Uganda warlord Kony
The US has offered a reward of up to $5m (£3.3m) for information leading to the arrest or capture of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony.
The announcement came as the Ugandan army suspended a search for Kony in the Central African Republic (CAR), blaming "hostility" from its new government.
Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes.
He and his fighters are thought to be in the CAR or neighbouring countries.
US authorities say the reward is also being offered for information on two other top LRA leaders, Okot Odhiambo, and Dominic Ongwen.
The LRA has "tormented and terrorized children" in Uganda and across the region, US Secretary of State John Kerry wrote in the Huffington Post on Wednesday.
Mr Kerry said Kony and other LRA leaders "will not be easy to find", adding: "The LRA is broken down into small bands of rebels, scattered throughout dense jungle, hidden by dense canopy, controlling territory through tactics of fear and intimidation."
Decades of war
Earlier, Ugandan troops in the CAR suspended their hunt for Kony and returned to their bases in the country.
Rebel forces took power 10 days ago in the CAR and ousted President Francois Bozize, whose government was a supporter of the mission to find Kony.
The Ugandan forces are in the CAR under an African Union mandate, assisted by soldiers from other African nations, as well as US special forces.
The African Union suspended the CAR's membership after the Seleka rebel group seized power and overran the capital, Bangui.
"We have reorganised our forces, collected them in defence, as we await the decision that will follow consultations going on between the African Union and participating countries," Ugandan army spokesman Col Felix Kulaijye told the BBC.
Joseph Kony and the estimated 200-500 fighters of his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) have waged war in Uganda and the region for more than two decades.
He claims the LRA is fighting to install a government in Uganda based on the Biblical Ten Commandments.
But his rebels now terrorise large swathes of the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and the CAR and he is wanted by the International Criminal Court for rape, mutilation and murder of civilians, as well as forcibly recruiting children to serve as soldiers and sex slaves.

From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Transclusion is generally the inclusion of the content of a document into another document by reference. In the MeritBadgeDotOrg context, it is the use of the template functionality of MediaWiki to include the same content in multiple documents without having to edit those documents separately.
How transclusion works
To transclude any source page (within a single MediaWiki project, such as en:Wikipedia) within another target page, include the following code:
Whenever the target page A with this code is rendered, the engine will include in that place not the code itself, but the entire content of the source page B, SOMEPAGE.
For example, you might decide to place a welcome message on every newcomer's Talk Page. Transclusion creates a "live" link between the "template" page and the target page(s) upon which it appears. When the template is edited, all the other pages are edited too.
For example, you might decide to create a (template) page with your mailing address and include that template on not only your page, but all your friends' pages, too. When you move your television and couch to another apartment, you will change your address template, and automatically, that new information will appear on all your friends' pages.

Chicago Headquarters Unites Agencies Against Drug Trafficking
CHICAGO - A first-of-its-kind headquarters has opened in Chicago where 70 federal agents, police and prosecutors will work side-by-side year-round to fight drug trafficking.
The Chicago Strike Force building recently opened with no fanfare. The Associated Press toured the three-story building but was asked not to reveal its exact location for security reasons.
Staff includes agents from DEA, FBI, the IRS and a half-dozen other agencies.
One analyst, Fred Burton, expressed some skepticism. He says getting agencies to act in unison is like "herding cats."
Jack Riley is the head of Chicago's DEA office and was a driving force behind the headquarters.
He says the facility is designed to end inter-agency rivalry that can hamper investigations. That includes comingled desks and not displaying signs identifying who belongs to what agency.

Easton's Bible DictionaryDerived probably from the Greek kuriakon (i.e., "the Lord's house"), which was used by ancient authors for the place of worship.
In the New Testament it is the translation of the Greek word ecclesia, which is synonymous with the Hebrew kahal of the Old Testament, both words meaning simply an assembly, the character of which can only be known from the connection in which the word is found. There is no clear instance of its being used for a place of meeting or of worship, although in post-apostolic times it early received this meaning. Nor is this word ever used to denote the inhabitants of a country united in the same profession, as when we say the "Church of England," the "Church of Scotland," etc.
We find the word ecclesia used in the following senses in the New Testament:
(1.) It is translated "assembly" in the ordinary classical sense (Acts 19:32, 39, 41).
(2.) It denotes the whole body of the redeemed, all those whom the Father has given to Christ, the invisible catholic church (Ephesians 5:23, 25, 27, 29; Hebrews 12:23).
(3.) A few Christians associated together in observing the ordinances of the gospel are an ecclesia (Romans 16:5; Colossians 4:15).
(4.) All the Christians in a particular city, whether they assembled together in one place or in several places for religious worship, were an ecclesia. Thus all the disciples in Antioch, forming several congregations, were one church (Acts 13:1); so also we read of the "church of God at Corinth" (1 Corinthians 1:2), "the church at Jerusalem" (Acts 8:1), "the church of Ephesus" (Revelation 2:1), etc.
(5.) The whole body of professing Christians throughout the world (1 Corinthians 15:9; Galatians 1:13; Matthew 16:18) are the church of Christ.
The church visible "consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion, together with their children." It is called "visible" because its members are known and its assemblies are public. Here there is a mixture of "wheat and chaff," of saints and sinners. "God has commanded his people to organize themselves into distinct visible ecclesiastical communities, with constitutions, laws, and officers, badges, ordinances, and discipline, for the great purpose of giving visibility to his kingdom, of making known the gospel of that kingdom, and of gathering in all its elect subjects. Each one of these distinct organized communities which is faithful to the great King is an integral part of the visible church, and all together constitute the catholic or universal visible church." A credible profession of the true religion constitutes a person a member of this church. This is "the kingdom of heaven," whose character and progress are set forth in the parables recorded in Matthew 13.
The children of all who thus profess the true religion are members of the visible church along with their parents. Children are included in every covenant God ever made with man. They go along with their parents (Genesis 9:9-17; 12:1-3; 17:7; Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 29:10-13). Peter, on the day of Pentecost, at the beginning of the New Testament dispensation, announces the same great principle. "The promise [just as to Abraham and his seed the promises were made] is unto you, and to your children" (Acts 2:38, 39). The children of believing parents are "holy", i.e., are "saints", a title which designates the members of the Christian church (1 Corinthians 7:14). (see BAPTISM.)
The church invisible "consists of the whole number of the elect that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one under Christ, the head thereof." This is a pure society, the church in which Christ dwells. It is the body of Christ. it is called "invisible" because the greater part of those who constitute it are already in heaven or are yet unborn, and also because its members still on earth cannot certainly be distinguished. The qualifications of membership in it are internal and are hidden. It is unseen except by Him who "searches the heart." "The Lord knoweth them that are his" (2 Timothy 2:19).
The church to which the attributes, prerogatives, and promises appertaining to Christ's kingdom belong, is a spiritual body consisting of all true believers, i.e., the church invisible.
(1.) Its unity. God has ever had only one church on earth. We sometimes speak of the Old Testament Church and of the New Testament church, but they are one and the same. The Old Testament church was not to be changed but enlarged (Isaiah 49:13-23; 60:1-14). When the Jews are at length restored, they will not enter a new church, but will be grafted again into "their own olive tree" (Romans 11:18-24; Comp. Ephesians 2:11-22). The apostles did not set up a new organization. Under their ministry disciples were "added" to the "church" already existing (Acts 2:47).
(2.) Its universality. It is the "catholic" church; not confined to any particular country or outward organization, but comprehending all believers throughout the whole world.
(3.) Its perpetuity. It will continue through all ages to the end of the world. It can never be destroyed. It is an "everlasting kindgdom."
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary1. (n.) A building set apart for Christian worship.
2. (n.) A Jewish or heathen temple.
3. (n.) A formally organized body of Christian believers worshiping together.
4. (n.) A body of Christian believers, holding the same creed, observing the same rites, and acknowledging the same ecclesiastical authority; a denomination; as, the Roman Catholic church; the Presbyterian church.
5. (n.) The collective body of Christians.
6. (n.) Any body of worshipers; as, the Jewish church; the church of Brahm.
7. (n.) The aggregate of religious influences in a community; ecclesiastical influence, authority, etc.; as, to array the power of the church against some moral evil.
8. (v. t.) To bless according to a prescribed form, or to unite with in publicly returning thanks in church, as after deliverance from the dangers of childbirth; as, the churching of women.

The other day, we doused some cold water on the rumor that the Nokia Lumia 810 on T-Mobile would get a firmware update to enable its LTE radio for that carrier. Seeing as the chipset is a SoC Snapdragon S4, it's typical for such setups to have features there but not enabled (either by request, OEM choice or lack of proper APIs)—in other words, it's totally plausible.
Reader of the site jgbstetson emailed the president and CEO of T-Mobile about the update and had his question pushed to the right people in the chain of command (much like Nokia, evidently you can get a response from the bigwigs at T-Mobile).
Responding to the question was Randy Meyerson, Senior Director, Product Marketing at T-Mobile, who noted that such an update is not possible. Here's an excerpt:
"I'm following up as per my note last night. Unfortunately, the Nokia Lumia 810 is not upgradable to LTE. While it is true that it has a chipset that is LTE-capable in certain circumstances, the variant that was used in this device can't be enabled for LTE."
The notion of the Nokia Lumia 810 getting LTE started with Engadget back in late January and picked up some confirmation by a later FCC filing.
A few days ago, Windows Phone Daily had unofficial confirmation via a T-Mobile "rep" but as we all know, they can be heavily unreliable (and are usually the last told of changes). Things went even more downhill when during a recent press release T-Mobile spoke about future LTE devices and current ones getting an update. Only the Note II was announced (and subsequently updated) with no mention of the Lumia 810.
Now with the Senior Director of Product Marketing saying that it can't (or won't) be done, it seems to put the kibosh on any hopes for an LTE enabled 810, at least via an upgrade. We suppose T-Mobile could still opt for a "Lumia 810S" or some model variant with the proper LTE bands, but if they're not seeing strong sales with that device, the impetus to do so could be lacking.
We're not 100% ready to declare this dead, but we're getting close. Sorry, folks.
Thanks, jgbstetson, for the tip!

The joys of family RV travel received great exposure this summer with NBC's prime time reality show Great American Road Trip, featuring seven American families traveling in motorhomes on a cross-country road trip competition, according to a release from the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).
The show's two remaining families – the Cootes and the DiSalvatores – are in the running for a $100,000 prize to be awarded during the show's finale, set to air at 8 p.m. Monday on NBC.
"Our RV became our home away from home. I would do it again in a second," said Amy DiSalvatore about her family's experience on the program.
Over eight episodes this summer, the show followed seven families from diverse backgrounds as they traveled iconic Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles in their own motorhomes, through cities large and small, while competing in a medley of humorous challenges.
"Great American Road Trip provided terrific exposure for the RV industry just as American families were focused on summer travel," said Gary LaBella, RVIA vice president and chief marketing officer. "The competing families all found the experience of RVing to be rewarding and fun, with many families who were sent home saying that the trip itself brought them closer together, and that family bonding was the real prize. That's a great message for the show's viewers." he continued.
El Monte RV, a national RV rental company, provided the motorhomes used in the Great American Road Trip. The units are Bounder Class A motorhomes built by Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. RVIA's Public Relations Department worked with the program's producers on content and messaging.
Meanwhile, as Great American Road Trip finishes its run for the summer, an animated program prominently featuring an RV recently premiered on the Nick at Nite cable network. Glenn Martin DDS follows the adventures of an RVing dentist, Glenn Martin, and his family.
After learning that his favorite childhood park is about to be destroyed, Glenn takes his family on a cross-country road trip to protest the demolition. Although the protest is unsuccessful, Glenn and his wife Jackie realize the RV trip has brought their family closer together and they decide to keep traveling. The half-hour program airs at various times on Nick at Nite throughout the week. Check www.nickatnite.com for the schedule.

Story highlights
- Richard Sandberg, 35, is arrested in a Denver suburb by federal authorities
- In an affidavit, authorities say Sandberg built deadly explosive devices
- He also had military-grade grenades he wanted to sell or trade for cocaine
A Colorado man who lived near a park crafted explosives he claimed could kill everyone within 20 meters, hoping to trade the bombs and other weapons for cocaine or cash, authorities said.
Special agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested Richard Sandberg, 35, on Thursday morning as he was heading to work, said Jeffrey Dorschner, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado.
In the afternoon, he appeared in federal court, where he was ordered held without bond until at least a detention hearing Tuesday.
His arrest followed an undercover sting that revealed the suspect had an arsenal of "homemade" improvised explosive devices and military-grade grenades in his suburban Denver home, according to an affidavit filed by an ATF agent in federal court.
The investigation began a week ago, when a Denver police detective alerted an ATF agent about a claim from a "reliable" informant.
The informant had gone to Sandberg's house and saw "numerous hand firearms and hand grenades" the suspect "wanted to trade ... for cocaine," according to the affidavit.
That night, an undercover ATF agent talked over the phone with Sandberg, who said he was a former member of a Marine special operations unit.
He claimed to have 18 M67 grenades -- which are available only in the military -- that he said he'd sell for $300 each, the ATF agent wrote.
According to the affidavit, Sandberg said he'd built some explosive devices with items available at hardware stores. He said you'd need a "formula" to know how to make them blow up -- and they had a "kill zone" of 20 meters and a "hurt zone" of 60 meters.
The devices, he said, are "not firecrackers, not things to play with: (They are) life or death."
The undercover agent told Sandberg he was going out of town to pick up illicit drugs, then met up with him Tuesday evening at the suspect's house in Jefferson County, about 15 miles southwest of the Colorado capital.
Once there, Sandberg detailed his military background as a demolition expert who'd served in Iraq, Somalia and Pakistan, and had been trained "to build bombs and kill people," the affidavit states.
He expressed contempt for President Barack Obama and his administration, and the ATF in particular.
He later showed the undercover agent "an iron-plated door barricade with gun turret/cutouts." He said he was prepared to use it if law enforcement agents moved in on his house -- adding he had several thousand rounds of ammunition.
"Sandberg made numerous threatening statements toward law enforcement (that if they) came inside his house to take his guns, it would be a bad day for them and lots of them would die," the affidavit reads. "Sandberg stated that he was ready and willing to die."
The suspect then showed off about six pipe bombs and 22 silver "crickets" (small explosive devices) and claimed that he "could manufacture anything (the agent) wanted, including having access to C4 plastic explosives and blasting caps."
The undercover agent left with two pipe bombs and a cricket, with Sandberg saying if he "liked them they could set up a trade for cocaine." Authorities later tested them, and determined they qualified as "destructive devices" under federal law.
Sandberg's arrest came two days later.
Despite his promise of bloodshed, he was taken into custody -- away from the firepower he kept at home -- without incident. He is charged with one count of possession of a firearm, though more charges could be forthcoming.
Swarms of law enforcement agents, including three bomb squads, descended on Sandberg's residence -- which sported a Marine flag in the yard and a "Fire Obama" sign in a window. His home is in the Friendly Hills neighborhood, which features recently built two-story houses.
They found a number of devices as well as grenades, which can only be obtained through the military. The devices were removed from the site and rendered safe, according to Dorschner.
As children rolled by in wagons, Tom Cole told CNN affiliate KUSA about how he had heard him doing metalwork into the night.
"There were many times this goes on until 9 o'clock at night, and you hear a grinder," Cole said.
Another neighbor, Michelle Chalupa, told CNN affiliate KMGH her children had "talked to (Sandberg) before (and) he seemed like a very nice guy."
"It's so scary," she said. "... I'm thankful that whatever operation found it before somebody was hurt."

Slow Food Seattle Books: The Unprejudiced Palate by Angelo Pellegrini
Join us for our next book club selection on Thursday, July 14th, the classic - The Unprejudiced Palate: Classic Thoughts on Food and the Good Life by Seattle's own Angelo Pellegrini.
Join us! This will be an active, open conversation and all are welcome – please come even if you haven't had a chance to finish the book! We'll be meeting from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 14th. Roy Street Coffee and Tea is located at 700 Broadway East. Limited free parking is available in the lot below.
From the publisher:
"First issued in 1948, when soulless minute steaks and quick casseroles were becoming the norm, The Unprejudiced Palate inspired a seismic culinary shift in how America eats. Written by a food-loving immigrant from Tuscany, this memoir-cum-cookbook articulates the Italian American vision of the good life: a backyard garden, a well-cooked meal shared with family and friends, and a passion for ingredients and cooking that nourish the body and the soul."
"I have always thought that Angelo Pellegrini misnamed his charming but opinionated book. It should have been called the Prejudiced Palate, because he is so absolutely sure and unwavering in his vision of how to live a beautiful and delicious life. And I think he's right."
–Alice Waters, Owner, Chez Panisse
"Like great dishes, great writing remains in our memory forever. Angelo Pellegrini's THE UNPREJUDICED PALATE is a lesson in how to enjoy life in an elegant and highly civilized way."
– Jacques Pépin
"THE UNPREJUDICED PALATE is a forgotten gem from what might be remembered as the Golden Age of American food writing. This Italian born, beloved Seattle professor, friend and colleague of MFK Fisher, wrote with charm, wit, and a rare intelligence about food."
–Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt, Cod, 1968

Mall Carjacking Victim Was Toms River Native
The man killed during a carjacking at the Mall at Short Hills on Sunday night has been identified as Dustin Friedland of Hoboken, an attorney and graduate of Toms River High School North.
The 30-year-old Friedland and his wife, Jamie Schare Friedland, were carjacked on the third-level parking deck at about 9 p.m Sunday after shopping at the mall, authorities said. According to the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, they were approached by two men as Friedland was entering the driver's side of their 2012 silver Range Rover. He was shot in the head and died at Morristown Medical Center shortly before midnight. His wife was not injured, authorities said.
Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray, in a Sunday night press conference at the mall, said: "Preliminary information is we're looking for two African-American males who left the scene in that vehicle."
The Prosecutor's Office also confirmed the Range Rover was located in a Newark garage in the 200 block of Renner Avenue on Monday morning.
The Essex County Sheriff's Crime Stoppers program is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspects in this case. Anyone with information about the shooting or the suspects should call the Essex County Prosecutor's Tipline at 1 (877) 847-7432.

Both were graduates of Syracuse University's School of Law. The Asbury Park Press reported that Friedland was also a 2002 graduate of Toms River High School North.
The mall was put on lockdown following the incident but police say there was no immediate threat to anyone inside the mall and the lockdown was lifted.
There were no real visible signs of panic outside the mall and no one was evacuated reports the Star-Ledger.
7 ABC reports Short Hills and Millburn police set up road blocks to find the car and the mall, open until 9 p.m. for holiday shopping according to the mall's website..
The Short Hills Mall is located in Short Hills near Route 24. It is an upscale mall whose stores include Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue and 150 "boutique stores."
