Satellite antenna dish in full view - a violation of the HOA rules.
However, the over-zealous HOA's have been trumped by the US government on satellite dishes. I hope we eventually abolish HOA's totally. Most buyers don't realize just how many of their property rights they give up when moving into an HOA regulated house. Yes, they do some good but it's not worth the loss of freedom. Mostly the dues go to friends of the HOA members who do property management and/or landscaping.
Which is more important to property values? No control so homeowners can do what they please, accepting that sometimes homeowners may do something to reduce the beauty fo the neighborhood? Or tight control like a Stalinist stae where everything is highly regulated by a central committee?

Description of Historic Place:
The McFarlane Residence is a one storey, wood frame, Craftsman bungalow located in an area formerly referred to as 'Swede Row' in the community of Hammond.
Heritage Value:
The McFarlane Residence is valued as one of several residences constructed by the Hammond Cedar Company for its mill workers who had served overseas during the First World War. This area of Hammond was once known as 'Swede Row,' named for the Swedish families that lived along this street, reflective of the multi-cultural nature of the wood products workforce in the early twentieth century.
The community of Hammond can be characterized by its relationship to the commercial and industrial activity that still occurs in the area. Settlers were originally attracted to Hammond due to the opportunities provided by the junction of water and rail transportation. The ease of transportation in the community provided a natural draw for the lumber industry in the early twentieth century. Many immigrant groups and individuals, attracted by the lumber mill's demand for labour, settled their families in the affordable homes in the townsite of Hammond. The association of the community to industry is valued because of the small number of historic industrial sites remaining in Maple Ridge. Noted for its growth relative to that of the company, the connection between community and industry creates a unique pattern of expansion in the community.
The modest size of the McFarlane Residence is indicative not only of the influence of the Craftsman style fashionable at the time, but also of the fast paced construction and economic situation that followed the end of the First World War, when houses such as this were built to accommodate both returning soldiers and a growing immigrant workforce. This house was built by the Hammond Cedar Company; McFarlane, the first resident, occupied this house while working as a sawyer at the mill.
The McFarlane Residence is also valued as a representative example of the popularity of the Craftsman bungalow, which became the most widespread local residential style. It is exemplified in the full open front verandah and tapered columns that are hallmarks of the style.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the McFarlane Residence include its:
- location close to the mill
- location on property set close to the street
- form, scale and massing
- Craftsman bungalow design and details including: open front verandah, central entry, tapered square columns, piers, and side gable roof
- narrow lapped wooden siding
- multi-paned, wooden sash, double-hung windows
Cordobeses sense of values: Iggy (and I honestly believe this refers to Iggy Pop) is God.
Cordoba. What's in a name? Human settlement here seems to have always had a variation of this name.
The first recorded existence of a settlement here (though Neanderthal existence was confirmed in the area between 42,000-35,000 B.C. and preurban settlements dating from the 8th century B.C.)...was with the Carthaginians.
General Hamilcar Barca (Hannibal's dad) renamed it Kartuba (previously called Kart-Juba, which meant "City of Juba.").
The Romans, after winning the Punic Wars, took over Iberia (in 206 B.C.) and dramatically changed the name of this town to...Corduba. With the Romans, you can start to find plenty of things in town. The Roman Bridge still stands. The Roman city wall still stands (base is Roman and changes with subsequent civilizations as you go up...Moorish, Christian.) If you tour the Alcazar, you'll see a handful of nice Roman mosaics on display. Then there's the Roman temple and ruins there.
Well, those Romans didn't last forever. After about 5-6 centuries of glory, they faded into history books, being overtaken in bits and pieces by northern European groups. For Cordoba's purposes...the Visigoths. The Visigoths were Christians, not some backwoods group. They built a church (St. Vincent Church) on the site of what is now the Mezquita-Cathedral in the heart of Cordoba. The Visigoths, though, weren't as strong as the Romans and squabbled a bit. Civil wars made their presence here fairly short-lived (just over 100 years) until the next dominant folks came calling.
The Moors decided to pay the town a visit in 711. They liked it so much that they took it over by force and stayed...for about 500 years.
At first, it was a subordinate town to the Damascus Caliphate. And the Moors, too, changed the name of the city to something really different: Qurtuba.
Apparently tiring of reporting to Damascus, the locals decided they'd just run things themselves beginning in 766 A.D. by naming this the Umayyad Emirate (eventually Caliphate).
Things went well for the Moors in Spain (which is why they ran the Good Ship Iberia for 7 centuries or so.) While Christian Europe tends to call these the Dark Ages, they were anything but here in Iberia.
By global standards of those times, Cordoba was massive. Its population ~800 A.D. was about 200,000. That was 0.1% of the global population. (That would put it on par with a city of 7 million today, which is...Hong Kong or Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. Basically...massive.) At the height of the Caliphate (~1,000 A.D.), the population had doubled to about 400,000.
And why did so many folks live in good ol' Cordoba? Well, during the 10th-11th centuries, Cordoba was one of the greatest cultural, political, financial, and economic centers of the world.
Christians and Jews coexisted fairly well with the Moors (well...it's all relative, I suppose). Take the Jewish quarter, for example.
The Jews all lived on three fairly small narrow streets near the Great Mosque (which was built on the ruins of St. Vincent Church during this time). They were allowed to go out and work in town by day, but they had a curfew and were all locked in the neighborhood by night. Not sure how I'd like that.
One of the most important Jewish scholars, Maimonides, was born here in Cordoba (in the 1130s; 1135, or 1138). This was the end of what folks would call the Golden Age of Judaism on the peninsula. (Bad things -- or worse things -- were in store for the Sefarad.)
Maimonides bolted at a fairly young age and spent the majority of his life in northern Africa (Morocco, Egypt.) He was a rabbinical scholar, astronomer, physician, and philosopher. He was basically a Renaissance Man...before the Renaissance.
Like the end of the Golden Age of Jewish culture in the Iberian Peninsula, the Moors reign was slowly being chipped away by Christian Spain. (Almost immediately upon taking over 90% of the Iberian Peninsula in 711, the Christians fought back, little by little, to reconquer their land.)
With the death of al-Mansur, after an expedition up north to La Rioja, in 1002, the caliphate slowly started to disintegrate. It had everything except a strong ruler. Even with that, it took the Christians quite some time to reconquer Cordoba.
King Fernando III of Spain took the city after a few months' siege in 1236. Cordoba lost its position as the most important city -- Sevilla was the new capital of Andalusia -- and Cordoba's position in the world faded during the Renaissance. (I guess you could say Cordoba had an anti-Renaissance?) The population dwindled to 20,000 in the 17th century.
What you have in town now are the remains of history, surrounded by generic modernity. (Directly across the way from the Door of Forgiveness to the Great Mosque? Burger King. How's that for progress?)
I'll write specific pieces on the Mezquita (which demands its own space) and also on the flowered patios for which modern Cordoba is famous in other posts.
“Warm, friendly and informal”
Riad Dar Najat
Two of us (women over 55) stayed for 3 nights - our first visit. We were picked up from the airport and made welcome from the moment we arrived. They had made a mistake with our booking but this was sorted out entirely to our satisfaction - and from then on, everything was great. Our room was in Black Zitoun, a riad under the same management, only a few minutes walk from Dr Najat, but we could use the communal facilities of both. The roof terrace was perfect for breakfast, for relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset in the early evening and for sitting under the stars late at night. Abdul organised tours for us: a tour by car of more distant sights, a walking tour of the souk and a whole day tour out towards the Atlas mountains. They were well worth the money - just the two of us and guide, all arranged at our pace so that we felt we saw a lot in a short time without feeling at all rushed. When we went out to things we'd arranged for ourselves, staff escorted us there and back. Tariq did that in the evening and was always cheerful, even when we sat up quite late on the roof terrace while he served us with wine. All the other staff (the only one whose name I caught was Said) were equally friendly and good humoured - an ideal place for a short break in a fascinating city!

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
As biomedical innovation has developed advanced therapeutic modalities and prospective cures for ailments that previously had no comparable courses of treatment, the challenge of crafting sustainable reimbursement models has inspired a variety of value-based agreements. Departure from traditional dosage-based models makes it difficult for therapy developers, payers, patients, and investors to plan for a new therapy’s rollout and breadth of patient access. This session will explore the early lessons from current value-based agreements to explain the payers’ expectations for future models of reimbursing treatments based on outcomes versus delivery.

I guess curb appeal is important when you're selling a jeep too. Or maybe the owner is just a gardener. This jeep was a quarter mile away from our motel so I got to enjoy it several times over the weekend.
