This building is part of my Low Budget modular Building series. It contains 1098 pieces. Price for parts sits between 95 and 150 euros on Bricklink. Depending on where you live and what stores use. What makes it the most expensive building of the series. The building was inspired by Canal Houses that can be seen in Amsterdam.
Low Budget Modulars are designed to be low cost when it comes to buying parts on Bricklink. Research was done to find out what kind of bricks are the cheapest and what colors. Rare pieces were avoided because the availability of those parts are constantly changing what also effects cost.
You can purchase instructions for all these buildings here: rebrickable.com/users/arjan1982/mocs/
They are named. Affordable Modular Building. You can also follow me on my Facebook Page called Miller Brick Designs.
I always get a lot of questions about my Low Budget Modulars. That is why I written the following story. If you have any questions. Please read this story first. Changes are they will be answered.
Low budget modulars is about offering a nice-looking building. Without spending to much money. This is a bigger challenge than you might imagine. Let us say you built 2 roofs for one building. One is nicer than the other. But the nicer roof cost 40 bucks more. Then you need to ask your self is that roof really so much nicer that it is worth paying another 40 bucks? That is why I have a maximum spending limit while designing these buildings.
Each Building comes in 2 versions. A small version that contains a ground floor. 1e Floor and roof. (Like Lego's Bookshop) These building where designed to be around 100 Euro's
Then there is a Bigger version that has one extra floor (Seen in these photos) These where designed to be around 130 euro's The extra floor will make the building look nicer next to Lego's bigger modulars such as the Green Grocer or Town hall or Fire Brigade. You can decide which version you prefer.
Keeping the cost low: In the end you get what you pay for. The more you pay the more bricks you get the more details you find in your building. This means you need to prioritize where you want to spend your money on.
The front facade of the building is where you find all the details. Because this is the part of the building that you always see. The back of the building however is still presentable. It has windows, perhaps a little bit of decoration. But it is not as pretty as the front because it does not have to be. There are also no street tiles behind the building like you have at the front. It not only reduces cost; it also allows you to decide if you want to add tiles for a street or perhaps make a garden. It is up to you. I used panels for the sides of each building. Panels are generally cheaper because you use less bricks. But finding all the panels in the same color might be difficult if you want to purchase all of them in one store. That is why I like to point out that on each floor there are 12 panels that you will never see when you placed another building next to it. So, you can make them in any color you want without making any impact on how the building looks on the outside.
Inside the building you find no furniture of any kind, and no floor tiles. Again, to keep the cost low. It also gives you a couple of advantages. First of all, you have a blank creative canvas to work with. But another advantage is that you usually can make little things like furniture with parts that you already have in your Lego collection. What means you don't need to order those parts on Bricklink. And with these modulars you don't have to.
What you will find inside are stairs. This is because stairs need to be integrated with the walls if you want to make them solid. However, much research was done to find a system where stairs are sturdy using the least amount of bricks. This system was used in every Low budget modular what means you find stairs build the same way at the same location in any Low Budget Modular. This also means that you can swap floors between any low Budget modular and they will always fit.
You probably have noticed by now that these modulars where designed with builders in mind that like to modify their buildings. One of the nice things about these buildings is that they were build using the most common bricks that are useful in any Modular building. So, if you ever decide to make your own building using the parts of a Low Budget Modular. Then you will find all those parts useful in building your own MOC.
The Low Budget Modular series are designed in series of 4 buildings. And they are inspired by one specific City. The first 4 buildings are all inspired by Amsterdam Canal Houses. With these 4 buildings you have one street. While each building looks nice next to any Lego Modular Building. They really shine when you have all 4 buildings together because they where designed that way.

Alcatraz. San Francisco, California. April/2018
The Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary or United States Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island (often just referred to as Alcatraz or the Rock) was a maximum high-security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, 1.25 miles (2.01 km) off the coast of San Francisco, California, which operated from August 11, 1934, until March 21, 1963.
The main prison building was built in 1910–1912 during its time as a United States Army military prison; Alcatraz had been the site of a citadel since the 1860s. The United States Disciplinary Barracks, Pacific Branch on Alcatraz was acquired by the United States Department of Justice on October 12, 1933, and the island became a prison of the Federal Bureau of Prisons in August 1934 after the buildings were modernized to meet the requirements of a top-notch security prison. Given this high security and the location of Alcatraz in the cold waters and strong currents of San Francisco Bay, the prison operators believed Alcatraz to be escape-proof and America's strongest prison.
Alcatraz was designed to hold prisoners who continuously caused trouble at other federal prisons. One of the world's most notorious and best known prisons over the years, Alcatraz housed some 1,576 of America's most ruthless criminals including Al Capone, Robert Franklin Stroud(the "Birdman of Alcatraz"), George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Bumpy Johnson, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Mickey Cohen, Arthur R. "Doc" Barker, Whitey Bulger, and Alvin "Creepy" Karpis (who served more time at Alcatraz than any other inmate). It also provided housing for the Bureau of Prisons' staff and their families. A total of 36 prisoners made 14 escape attempts during the 29 years of the prison's existence, the most notable of which were the violent escape attempt of May 1946 known as the "Battle of Alcatraz", and the arguably successful "Escape from Alcatraz" by Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin in June 1962 in one of the most intricate escapes ever devised. Faced with high maintenance costs and a poor reputation, Alcatraz closed on March 21, 1963.
The three-story cellhouse included the main four blocks of the jail, A-block, B-block, C-block, and D-block, the warden's office, visitation room, the library, and the barber shop. The prison cells typically measured 9 feet (2.7 m) by 5 feet (1.5 m) and 7 feet (2.1 m) high. The cells were primitive and lacked privacy, with a bed, a desk and a washbasin and toilet on the back wall, with few furnishings except a blanket. African-Americans were segregated from the rest in cell designation due to racial abuse being prevalent. D-Block housed the worst inmates and five cells at the end of it were designated as "The Hole", where badly behaving prisoners would be sent for periods of punishment, often brutally so. The dining hall and kitchen lay off the main building in an extended part where both prisoners and staff would eat three meals a day together. The Alcatraz Hospital was above the dining hall.
Corridors of the prison were named after major American streets such as Broadway and Michigan Avenue. Working at the prison was considered a privilege for inmates and many of the better inmates were employed in the Model Industries Building and New Industries Building during the day, actively involved in providing for the military in jobs such as sewing and woodwork and performing various maintenance and laundry chores.
Today the penitentiary is a public museum and one of San Francisco's major tourist attractions, attracting some 1.5 million visitors annually. The former prison is now operated by the National Park Service's Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and the badly eroded buildings of the former prison have been subject to restoration works in recent times and maintained

Alcatraz é uma ilha localizada no meio da Baía de São Francisco na Califórnia, Estados Unidos. Inicialmente foi utilizada como base militar, e somente mais tarde foi convertida em uma prisão de segurança máxima. Atualmente, é um ponto turístico operado pelo National Park Service junto com a Área de Recreação Golden Gate.
Alcatraz foi uma base militar de 1850 a 1930. Posteriormente, foi adquirida pelo Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos, em 12 de outubro de 1933, quando sofreu a conversão. Em 1 de janeiro de 1934, foi re-inaugurada como uma Prisão Federal. Durante seus 29 anos de existência, a prisão alojou alguns dos maiores criminosos norte-americanos. A prisão foi fechada em 21 de março de 1963, menos de um ano após a primeira fuga realizada na prisão. O governo alegou que o complexo foi fechado devido ao seu alto custo de manutenção, e ao fato de que não garantia uma total segurança, em relação às prisões mais modernas. Era mais fácil e mais barato construir uma prisão nova do que melhorar as condições de Alcatraz.
Em 1969, um grupo de nativos norte-americanos criou um movimento que ocupou a ilha, baseando-se num tratado federal de 1868, que permitia que os nativos utilizassem todo o território que o governo não usava ativamente . Após quase dois anos de ocupação, o governo os retirou da ilha.
Durante 29 anos, a prisão de Alcatraz nunca registrou oficialmente fugas bem sucedidas de prisioneiros. Em todas as tentativas, os fugitivos foram mortos ou afogavam-se nas águas da baia de São Francisco. Três fugitivos, Frank Morris, e os irmãos John e Clarence Anglin, desapareceram das sua celas em 11 de Junho de 1962. Somente algumas provas foram encontradas, e elas levam a crer que os prisioneiros morreram, mas, oficialmente, ainda estão listados como desaparecidos e provavelmente afogados. Em 1979 foi feito um filme sobre essa fuga com Clint Eastwood chamado Escape from Alcatraz. A história chegou a ser testada no programa "Mythbusters-Os Caçadores de Mitos" no episódio Fuga de Alcatraz.
Em outubro de 2015 documentário do canal "History" foi divulgado, onde foram apresentadas novas evidências que indicam que os irmãos Anglin não somente sobreviveram, como mantiveram contato com sua família e teriam fugido para o Brasil.

Salt supplies at maximum levels in readiness for winter. (15/11/12)
(ltor) Neil Gillies, Director TEC Services, Stuart Catto, Director Scotlog Ltd, Councillor Graham Phillips, Chair of TEC Services Committee, Councillor Bet McAllister, Vice Chair of TEC Services, Crawford Gray, Stores and Purchasing Manager inspect the salt store at Inverness Harbour.
Salt supplies in the Highlands are at maximum levels as The Highland Council prepares for the winter. Stocks stand at 67,300 tonnes.
This exceeds the average annual amount used over the last five years and gives the Council a resilience of 73 days for average frost or light snow conditions, or 20 days of extreme conditions requiring continual treatment.
Arrangements are in place to re-stock during the winter if the rate of use is high. The suppliers have adequate reserves for this to happen and no shortage is anticipated.

Cow Parsnip
This plant can grow to ten feet tall! At first, I thought it was the dangerous Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), but fortunately I was wrong. Giant Hogweed has purple patches on the stems, while Cow Parsnip's stems are green. The flower cluster of Giant Hogweed is up to three feet wide and umbrella-shaped, Cow Parsnip's is mo more than a foot and a half, and flat-topped.
Even Cow Parsnip can be pretty toxic; its sap is a photosensitizer, and exposure to sun after contacting it can result in severe burns, but this effect is much rarer than with Giant Hogweed.
I zoomed in even farther on the full moon. Here we can see 2 cinder cones, and a tuft of grass as life begins to take on the moon. Milky way is visible in the background.
Pluto has always eluded me from my light polluted suburban skies. Magnitude 13.7 is the deepest I have been able to go visually with an 11" SCT at Pluto's current maximum elevation above the horizon. Under ideal conditions and at a higher elevation, I might be able to break magnitude 14, but this would still be shy of Pluto's current diminutive magnitude of 14.3.
The next best thing was to try to take a picture of it. The 9th planet was hiding with a group of 13th to 14th magnitude stars in an arrangement that looks similar to the constellation Cassiopeia. (See the zoomed-in inset in the image.) Pluto was masquerading as Epsilon Cassiopeiae at one end of the familiar W pattern.
While I still haven’t seen Pluto visually, I’m sure that I have a chance from a dark sky location. Maybe someday.
