A 12 foot tall zombie & his tittle brother, waiting for Halloween! I hear many of these 12 feet tall decorations are being stollen! Did I mention, I took this from a moving car! Slightly blurry, but I think it suits the mood, haha!

My neighbor's dog, Kayla, the white Chihuahua, and Ali, my neighbor's sister's older, mixed Australian Cattle Dog, watch me pass by their window as I walk my dog.
High impact door latch when installed correctly with long screws thru into door framing studs, provides 800lb anti kick resistance. Doubled up above/below lockset, 1600lb. $15 online. Will afford extra time for reaching phone or U-236 exploding space modulator for neutralizing space invaders, attempting to invade your space. Also good for latchkey husbands.
My neighbor's dog, Kayla, the white Chihuahua, and Ali, my neighbor's sister's older mixed Australian Cattle Dog, watch me pass by their window as I walk my dog. Ali has since crossed the rainbow bridge prior to me releasing this image. She's definitely watching over her pack here on earth.
A bit of a different photo as I used a security camera to grab this one. A bit lower image quality that I like, but it does tell a story.
When we go for a family ski at the cabin we leave the dogs in the bedroom as we worry about the chaos from squirrel patrol if they had access to the full cabin. The bedroom is attached to a closet that has a window looking over the driveway. A couple of weeks ago we noticed that when we came home from a ski Aggie would be at the window watching us arrive. So, I set up one of the mini video cameras on motion detection and turned it facing inwards to monitor the closet.
Turns out that she only shows up in the closet when she hears us coming. She then barks to sound the raise the canine alarm, but after that leaves the closet to wait for us at the bedroom door. This is as far as Bruno made it into the closet after Aggie raised the alarm. Eva never showed up leaving home security fully in Aggie's capable paws.
Turns out that Aggie is high security, Bruno is low security, and Eva is no security.

There are 4 main subnets in my home network:
Main - Green cables connect all main subnet components. This includes a 24 port 1GbE switch and a 12 port 10GbE switch connected via a 10GbE SFP+ cable. This is the main network of my home connecting all computers, printers, wifi APs, Media Players, and a Buffalo Terastation NAS which acts as the media server.
Guest - Yellow cables connect guest connections to half of a 24 port 1GbE switch. Yellow cable also connects the guest VLAN to the main network access points. This subnet is isolated from the rest of the network.
Surveillance - Blue cables connect all video surveillance equipment to a 16 port 1GbE POE switch. This includes wiring for 10 security cameras and a Synology RS814+ NAS containing 4 WD 3TB SE WD3000F9YZ HDD. Currently have 8 HIK Vision security cameras running, 5 DS-2CD2032-I 4mm bullet cameras and 3 DS-2CD2132F-I 2.8mm dome cameras.
MODnet - Orange cables connect 4 set top boxes to the WAN through a 5 port 1GbE Switch for China Telecom Movie on Demand Internet TV service.
Interweb - Red Cables are outside of my network, which includes connection to the modem and the community network.
Concerning the photo, its another version using the 35mm Cron. Took a different approach with lighting this time using two flood lights. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 5 shot 1EV step bracket. Post processing is very different from previous approaches, though not sure if I like it better or not...

Upgrades since last photo includes a new NAS with 10G SFP+ interface. The old Buffalo NAS is now used as an rsync backup destination. I also installed 2 19u rails to push out the bottom half of the rack by 6cm. This allows enough depth for NAS installation in bottom half and plenty of room for wire management in the top half. I think its done for now...
There are 4 main subnets in my home network:
Main - Green cables connect all main subnet components. This includes a 24 port 1GbE switch and a 12 port 10GbE switch connected via a 10GbE SFP+ cable. This is the main network of my home connecting all computers, printers, wifi APs, Media Players, and a Synology RS3614xs NAS with 9 WD 3TB SE WD3000F9YZ HDD which acts as the media server and file server for all computers in my home. This NAS and computers in my study are on the 10GbE network.
Guest - Yellow cables connect guest connections to half of a 24 port 1GbE switch. Yellow cable also connects the guest VLAN to the main network access points. This subnet is isolated from the rest of the network.
Surveillance - Blue cables connect all video surveillance equipment to a 16 port 1GbE POE switch. This includes wiring for 10 security cameras and a Synology RS814+ NAS containing 4 WD 4TB SE WD4000F9YZ HDD. Currently have 8 HIK Vision security cameras running, 5 DS-2CD2032-I 4mm bullet cameras and 3 DS-2CD2132F-I 2.8mm dome cameras.
MODnet - Orange cables connect 4 set top boxes to the WAN through a 5 port 1GbE Switch for China Telecom Movie on Demand Internet TV service.
Interweb - Red Cables are outside of my network, which includes connection to the modem and the community network.
Concerning the photo, its another version using the 35mm Cron. Lit with two flood lights through umbrellas from front top and bottom, reflector at right side, and backside lighting with a 100w quartz halogen through umbrella. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 4 shot 1EV step bracket.

Some #securitytips for making Your house more #secure
1. Change the Locks
Change all the locks when you move into a new house. You’ll never know who had access to the keys before you moved in.
2. Install an #AlarmSystem
Home alarm systems immediately inform emergency authorities and warn homeowners of any potential dangers. Hearing an alarm go off usually sends a burglar running. At www.koacctv.com we have best offers at best price.
3. Conceal All Wiring
For the most effective #alarm_system, conceal all wiring. A professional burglar looks for places where he or she can disconnect the security system.
4.Light Up the Entrance to Your Home
A smart way to keep thieves away is to utilize lighting. Lighting with an #infrared_detector automatically turns on when someone is in a specific zone or area. No burglar wants to be in easy view while committing a crime.
5. Protect Your Windows
Burglars often gain entry into homes through windows. Protect these vulnerable areas with window locks and/or burglar-resistant glass. Installing many small panes of glass instead of one large pain of glass is a good option as well.

Steel front doors typically have more advantage in insulating that other door types. At the same time, steel doors are comparatively inexpensive and can offer the security and weather resistance. Moreover, they're energy-effective and require little maintenance.

Concerning the photo, I typically use the 18mm Super-Elmar for this shot, but I decided to use the 35mm Cron this time. First results were pretty bad with the same lighting conditions used with the 18mm. There was significant lens flare from the ceiling lights, I guess thats why the 35 Cron has such a big hood. I was able to get a better shot by taping sheets of paper over 2 of the ceiling lights, shading the lens with a gray card, and using a reflector below the camera to improve the lighting. End results were much better perspective and more vibrant colors than the 18mm. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 5 shot 1EV step bracket.
South Manchester’s mischief-makers are warned to stay out of trouble this Halloween and Bonfire night or face the consequences.
As part of Operation Treacle, police officers will be working with Challenge and Support Officers from Manchester City Council, Trading Standards and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to combat the problems this time of year brings.
Officers from the neighbourhood policing teams will carry out regular patrols in hotspot areas to target antisocial behaviour, vandals and to reassure communities.
There will be dedicated firework safety patrol vehicles and Trading Standards will carry out test purchases at off-licenses to stop underage drinking and prevent the sale of fireworks to under 18s.
Trading Standards officers will also be visiting retailers and encouraging them to adopt a Challenge 25 policy when selling fireworks. This means anyone who looks under 25-years-old will be asked for identification to prove they are over 18.
Anyone found to be harassing or intimidating people, playing with eggs and flour, or vandalising property will face police action. Legislation will also mean that those under 18 face an £80 fine if they are in possession of a firework.
Officers have been giving dedicated Treacle inputs at schools, highlighting the consequences of antisocial behaviour and the dangers behind playing with fireworks.
Officers have also been handing out posters to residents that they can display in their windows informing trick or treaters whether they are welcome or not. Copies are available at www.safe4autumn.com or by contacting your local neighbourhood policing team.
Chief Inspector Derek Hewitt said: “Antisocial behaviour is one of the main issues residents tell us about and this traditionally increases over Halloween and Bonfire night. We have had some great success over the last couple of years thanks to Operation Treacle – reported incidents fell by 10.5 per cent last year compared with 2008.
“But even one incident is one incident too many and we are dedicated to building on the good results and ensuring that all our residents can enjoy this time of year without any fear of distress or intimidation.
“My advice for a safe and enjoyable Halloween and Bonfire night is to respect others, use fireworks responsibly and attend an organised event.”

A life-sized reconstruction of a living room was hoisted into St Ann’s Square to launch a hard-hitting campaign aimed at cutting burglary across Manchester.
One in three burglaries happen through an open door or window and the mock-up living room, which was open on two sides, demonstrated how easily a burglar could get in your home if you don’t take simple precautions.
The launch marked the start of the new Think! Lock campaign to encourage residents to lock up all doors and windows every time they leave their homes, no matter how long they’ll be gone.
There has been a general downward trend in the number of crimes involving theft of property over the last decade. This trend continues across the county with last year seeing a 15 per cent reduction in burglary, 19.5 per cent reduction in vehicle crime and 15.5 per cent reduction in robberies. This has meant that there has been 12,376 fewer people falling victim to personal theft crimes between April 2009 and March this year when compared to the previous 12 months.
Around 25,000 households across Manchester will be receiving crime prevention advice including face-to-face visits from members of their local neighbourhood policing team, as well as door hangers containing crime prevention advice and window stickers which will act as a visible deterrent to burglars.
There will also be street banners and bus stop posters reminding people to take these simple measures to cut the risk of burglary:
Lock your windows and doors
If you’re going out or going away, leave lights on a timer
Don’t leave valuables on show
If you can, fit a burglar alarm and use it
Don’t let cold callers into your home
Mark and photograph your valuables
Manchester City Council Deputy Leader, Councillor Jim Battle says: "We are working closely with the police to drive down burglary. These simple measures can help keep our homes safe and secure and reduce the chances of becoming a victim.”
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney from GMP said: “We made a commitment a year ago through Operation Storm to ensure that thieves in our county were brought to account for their crimes.
“Since then we have targeted them on the streets, in their homes and in their communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week and made significant progress in stopping them spreading their misery in our towns and cities.
“This level of commitment continues and led to 63 raids and the arrest of 256 burglars, robbers and thieves in Manchester during the latest clampdown three weeks ago.
“I can assure law-abiding and law-breaking Mancunians that it does not end here. We will continue to work with our partners to reduce burglary, robbery and vehicle crime and bring offenders to justice over the coming months.”

This fire retardant Brink's safebox with SLR backup tapes inside was found by one of Hack42's visitors in a pile of trash in front of the offices of Voomies, approximately six months ago. One of the tapes is also marked with the company name. Can't wait to see what's written on them.
The title is a pun on slogans such as "Your data, our commitment". Google Translate even mistranslates it as "Your data, we care", because it actually translates roughly into something like "Your data, we couldn't care less". It is much more subtle in Dutch though.
We recently discovered this old image in the archives of our Force Museum. It forms part of a series of slides probably used by officers giving talks on home security to residents.
A young man makes the schoolboy error of leaving his key in one of the first places a burglar might look.
While the image probably dates from the early 1970s, the message is still as relevant today.

Burglars target homes that look unoccupied, follow our simple steps to avoid a burglar’s radar...remember...#AlarmLocksLights.
Opportunist thieves avoid homes that are lit up. Use a light timer when out to give the impression that someone is in. For more information on light timers watch our 60 second security video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK7RhlDhBM4
One in three burglaries are to homes that are insecure. Help deter burglars by making sure you shut and securely lock all windows and doors.
Burglars don't just steal your property, they invade your privacy. Avoid becoming a target for burglars by not leaving valuable property on show.
There today, gone overnight. Remember not to leave keys in the door or near windows where they can be easily grabbed.
Never leave a spare key hidden outside. Burglars know all the usual hiding places.
Wheelie bins are sometimes used as a climbing aid or as a means of transporting stolen property.
Secure them if you can and ensure that they are stored away from windows and doors.
Burglars like to break into homes unnoticed. If you don’t have an alarm, consider fitting one. They don’t cost much and can be effective in deterring burglars.
If you already have an alarm, make sure you set it when you go out, even if you are only leaving the house for a five minutes.
Burglars tend to target homes which look unoccupied. Don’t let thieves make themselves at home in your house. Use a light timer when you leave the house for the evening or for a long periods.
Stop this happening to your home, use timers to switch on lights, radios or TVs when you’re not at home to make it look like someone is.
