Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive
Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive – 2005
During the early part of June, each year since 1991, the Reno Rodeo Association Committee has hosted an authentic old-west cattle drive as the kickoff event for the Reno Rodeo. Paid guests and drovers ride horseback and trail 300 head of Corriente rodeo steers over 100 miles. Seven 1800s-style wagons, pulled by teams, carry the guest's gear. This cattle drive starts near Doyle, California along the California/Nevada border northwest of Reno and ends five days later at the Reno Livestock Event Center and Rodeo Grounds in downtown Reno.
The Reno Rodeo Association Committee invited Lee Raine and I to ride along on this historic cattle drive. We loaded our bedrolls, saddles, and tepee and headed west from our summer camp on the west slope of Ruby Mountains in northeastern Nevada to the "Biggest Little City in the World," Reno, Nevada.
We arrived in Reno that evening and met up with Ira Gostin, Marketing and Media boss for the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive in 2005. Ira has been involved with this cattle drive for a number of years and proved very knowledgeable and informative. Ira gave us an overview of what we might experience on the drive. Ira said, "We try to make this event a REAL cattle drive. There may be significant hardships involved along the way. The weather can be hot or cold; it may rain or snow. All of this is possible in northern Nevada any time of the year.
"We break camp early each morning, ride out with the cattle and camp that night at places where there are corrals and water to pen the cattle and horses. You must remember that the cattle and horses come first and they need to be well taken care of each day. Without the livestock, we would not be here. To reach a new campsite each night we will need to ride 12 miles or more each day and 20 miles on one day. The altitude is between 4,000 and 6,000 feet depending on where we are in the 'high desert.' Folks who come from sea level are prone to dehydration and need to drink lots of water. It would be well to be in good physical shape and do some horseback riding in your area at a riding stable or on your own horse. Rental horses will be provided on the drive for the paying guests and no private horses will be allowed.
"During the drive, we will attempt to teach you about buckaroo etiquette and tradition. You will need to bring along a positive attitude and a willingness to learn about some history of cattle ranching, and cattle handling skills in the 'high desert' and a buckaroo lifestyle that is in danger of disappearing forever.
Please remember our crew is 100% volunteer. Our sole purpose in our endeavors with our guests is to present an authentic, safe and very western buckaroo experience. We will take a vacation from our lives to give you the vacation of your dreams."
Day One – Sand Corrals, Near the California/Nevada State Line
We arrived at the corrals on Sunday morning and looked around the area. Three hundred Corriente steers were being held in the corrals. Some of the guests and drovers were busy setting up their tents. Lee and I pitched our tepee in the sagebrush near the corral and unrolled our bedrolls. We were introduced to Dave Dohnel, the Jigger Boss, from Frontier Outfitters out of Bishop, California. Dohnel provides the horses for the guests on the cattle drive. The saddle horses used for this drive were tied on a "high line" near the corral.
We then were introduced to Bobby Ingersoll. Bobby had come along on the drive to help answer horse questions from the paying guests and to assist with handling the cattle. He has won everything there is to win on a horse in performance-horse shows around the country since 1971. Bobby was camped near us and rolled his bedroll out in the sagebrush—no tent for him.
A cook wagon was being set up to feed the crowd that was gathering. In no time, tables, chairs, and a cooking "fly" were set up and the call "come and get it" was given.
To feed a large group of people such as was gathering near the cook wagon is no easy chore. We visited with Danny "Pockets" Iudicella, the Chuckwagon Boss. He gave us a run down on the food situation. Danny said, "This year we will cook for 45 paid guests, a crew of 35 volunteers, and several folks dropping in. During the 5-day drive, this group will consume over 600 pounds of meat, 50 gallons of strong coffee and over 40-dozen eggs." The official coffee for the 2005 Cattle Drive was Starbucks. Only cow camp we were ever around where they served Starbucks Coffee.
Danny continued, "A typical day's meals may go like this:
Breakfasts: Eggs, Hash browns, Variety of meats (Ham, Sausage, Bacon), Biscuits & Gravy, Muffins, French Toast, Sourdough Hotcakes, Fresh Fruit and Strong Coffee.
Lunches: Cold Cut Sandwiches, Fruit & Veggies out on the trail.
Dinner: Prime Rib, Chicken, Dutch-Oven Potatoes, Black-Bean Corn Stew, Dutch-Oven Rolls, Peach Cobbler. All dinners included beverages, fruit, salad, & bread"
I told "Pockets" after hearing about the food that he and his crew were going to prepare, his menus sounded much better than the sowbelly and beans I had read about on the 1800 cattle-drives.
After lunch, all the guests gathered around the horses that were tied to a "high line" or "picket line," as it sometimes called, and the outfitter, Dave Dohnel, assisted by his wranglers, started selecting horses for the paid guests. To match up people you have never seen before with a strange horse is an "art form. Believe me, Lee and I have been there and done that!
Some of the guests brought their own saddles. Others used saddles that the outfitter provided. When everyone had a horse, we went on a short "shake down" ride to see how everyone got along with his or her horse and tack. Afterwards the horses were unsaddled and each person was told to remember their horse. (The wranglers had the names of the people assigned to each horse in case someone forgot.) We then moved back to the corral area and visited with some of the guests, drovers, and committee members
The Cattle Drive Committee:
Trail Boss: Howard Weiss
You notice right off that this entire organization is run with military efficiency and effectiveness. This might have something to do with the fact that the Trail Boss, Howard Weiss, is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and is the CEO of a large California corporation specializing in electronics technology. Howard was also the Past President of the American Quarter Horse Association and is one of the Directors of the Reno Rodeo Association. Howard brings fiscal savvy and corporate leadership to the committee--from the saddle. We asked Howard to explain to us how this Cattle Drive has lasted for 15 years and what were some of the reasons for it's continued success. Howard said, " My first involvement with the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive was 15 years ago. Steve Millstein and Alan Capurro initially started this drive. They decided to hold a cattle drive to help promote the Reno Rodeo and have some fun. The first drive lasted three days, $150 was the charge for each guest, and 150 head of cattle were used. The third year, the cattle were increased to 350 head with more paying guests, and, again, I went along as a paying guest. The drive improved each year until one year they lost their major sponsorship. Without a major sponsor, the cattle drive was doomed.
"I loved this drive so much, I decided to be the major sponsor. My company, Whitmor Wirenetics, of which I am the CEO, became the major sponsor for this event and remained so until last year. This year Signature Landscapes has taken over our major sponsorship and we sure do thank them for their support.
You must have strong leadership and surround yourself with good, qualified people who come back year after year to help out. This event is only as good as the people who work with you want it to be. This drive has become a vacation destination for many people from around the world. We have had paying guests from Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, Canada and all over the United States. We do very little advertising on a national level. The best advertising we have is from people who experienced the drive and had a great time. Most of our paid guests come from 'word of mouth' advertisement. Folks who have participated in the drive tell their friends about it.
"One of the biggest problems we had in the beginning was the rental horse issue. You must have horses that are in shape, acclimated to traveling at higher elevations in sometimes-adverse weather conditions, and that inexperienced paying guests can get along with. We tried several different horse set-ups. We finally found a horse outfit (Frontier Outfitters) that has solid horses and this horse/people problem is much better today."
We had noticed that Howard was riding a gray horse that looked familiar.
I asked Howard, "Where did the gray gelding come from that is standing 'hip-shot' tied to the corral?" Howard smiled and said, "I am glad you asked that question. You folks are very observant around horses. That horse's name is Pepper and I bought this horse for $3,500 from a guy who furnished horses for the movies. You may have known this horse by its other name, the 'Hell Bitch.' Actor Tommy Lee Jones rode this horse in the original "Lonesome Dove" movie. This horse is a gelding, but they shot around that fact in the movie. One of the main reasons they sold this horse to me was that gray horses are very difficult to 'double' in the movie business. I am still looking for the 'hole' in this horse after I bought it and never found one. I rode this horse soon after I bought it to lead my group in the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, California. Pepper has been a great horse and I sure have enjoyed him."
"This is my last year as Chairman and Trail Boss of this event. The years are catching up with me. However, I still would like to be evolved to some degree. I have never missed a Cattle Drive in 15 years. I hope that the cattle drive continues and improves. I am handing over the reins to Marie Gaspari-Crawford after this drive and am certain she will make a great Trail Boss. My association with this event has been one of the highlights of my life."
Head Vaquero: (and 2006 Trail Boss) Marie Gaspari–Crawford Marie was born into the buckaroo life. Her family ran cattle in what now is Spanish Springs, north of Sparks,	Nevada. Her uncles taught Marie the old-vaquero ways of handling horses. Marie is married to Cody Crawford who is also involved in the Cattle Drive as the Cow Boss. They live on the Rafter 66 Ranch in Palomino Valley, north of Reno. Marie is an administrative assistant at the veterinary tech program at Truckee Meadows Community College. Her responsibility as head vaquero on the drive is overseeing the Guest Drovers, the Jigger Boss, and the camp crew as well as administrative functions. Marie is full of energy and makes the drive go.
Cow Boss- Cody Crawford
Cody grew up on a California ranch where his father was the manager. He grew up learning the buckaroo ways with horses and cattle. He also made a swing through Texas and Montana and many riding jobs in between. He presently runs the Rafter 66 ranch with his wife Marie. Cody oversees the drovers, the cattle feeding operations, and the chuckwagon on the drive.
Camp Boss: Buck Fenlason
Buck is the one who sees to the moving and setting up of the camp and chuck wagon each day along the trail for 5 days. This sounds like an easy deal until you have done this for 5 or 6 days. What a job!
Wagon Masters
Seven, 1800s-style "bed wagons" that were used to carry the paying guests bedrolls, tepees, tents and other personal gear traveled with the herd on the drive this year. A team of mules or horses pulled each wagon. Each had a "swamper" to help the driver with his team and harness and there were four outriders on horseback. The Wagon Masters for this year's drive were sisters, Julie Jepson and Janet Moore, who are identical twins and who enjoy dressing alike in their period costumes. These sisters grew up on their family's ranch in Southern Wyoming. They have been coming on the cattle drive for eight years with their children and wagons.
Guest Drovers:
There were several real working buckaroos heading each team of guests to help them with their cattle work, horses and team games in the evenings.
The first evening in camp, Head Vaquero Marie assigned the guests into seven teams. Each team was assigned a different color "wild rag." There were several reasons for this wild-rag color assignment. When we broke camp each morning, the wagon where you placed your bedroll and other camp gear had a colored wild rag tied onto it. If you were assigned a green wild rag, you looked for the wagon with green tied on. This was a neat way to keep track of all the gear for 45 paid guests. Each evening different games involving the teams were played and each team had a different position assignment on the cattle drive itself. Each evening excellent entertainment was provided around the campfire.
Day Two – Headed for Campbell Springs Corral Camp	Morning broke and folks were busy rolling their beds and loading their gear on the bed wagons. After a great breakfast, the guests headed for their horses. Wranglers had the guests' horses saddled, so they mounted up, and the 2005 Reno Cattle Drive began. The teams that had been assigned, the night before in camp, by the Head Vaquero Marie, were told where they were to ride near the trailing cattle. Out in front were Cody Crawford, Cow Boss, and Trail Boss Howard Weiss, who would lead the way on his horse Pepper. Three hundred head of cattle were let out of the corral and the 100-mile cattle drive headed out for Reno. The drovers positioned some guests on each side of the herd in the "swing" position and some riders were placed in the back or the "drag" to push the cattle. While trailing the cattle, the guest drovers assisted the paying guests with their questions about the country and their horses, and showed them where they should be in relationship to the trailing cattle.
The cattle were "fresh" but handled quite well and the miles slipped by. The camp crew met us towards noon, the paying guests stepped down and stretched their legs while the drovers held the herd, and lunch was served. Some minor adjustments to stirrup lengths on guest saddles were needed but nothing major.
We arrived at the Campbell Corral Camp in the afternoon, cattle were corralled, and horses were unsaddled, watered, and fed. The portable bar was opened and some of the folks took care of the "trail dust" in their throats.
That evening, after a great supper, Joe Guild, former President of the Nevada Cattlemen's Association gave a inspiring talk to the group assembled by the open campfire about the history and tradition of the Great Basin ranching industry and how the guests could be great emissaries for the ranching industry upon returning to their respective home states. Afterward, drovers introduced the guests to handling lariat ropes.
Day Three- Marshall Corrals, Warm Springs Camp The day dawned and the weather held. You could smell the bacon cooking in the early morning air and hear the cattle bawling. Beds were rolled and breakfast was eaten. Horses were saddled and we headed out with the cattle. This was to be the long day on the drive, so we got an early start. We needed to cover a good 20 miles, so the drovers encouraged the guests to keep the cattle moving. We stopped for a short lunch break and then headed out again. Along toward evening we could see the camp and corrals.
Cattle were penned and horses taken cared for. Some folks were a little saddle sore but, for the most part, the guests held up well.
There were several very educational displays of how to read brands, horse shoeing, types of buckaroo gear, etc, for the guests and roping practice was held.
After a fine meal, that evening in camp Marie Gasper-Crawford was officially appointed	new Trail Boss for 2006. The guests also elected an honorary trail boss from among themselves. For the last two days of the drive, the guests would be in charge of trailing the cattle. Kim Mandekich from Chicago, who hadn't been on a horse for 20 years	before going on this cattle drive, was named Honorary Trail Boss. She said about her experience on the cattle drive, "I have never done a cattle drive before. In my life, I deal with computers and people, not cows and horses. Imagine what that did for my ego. I am not sure what I will do next year, it will be hard to top this cattle drive experience."
Great Basin buckaroo favorite Dave Stamey provided musical entertainment around the camp fire.
Day Four- Lemmon Valley Camp The weather was still great. We rolled up our beds, took down the tepees and tents, and had a big breakfast and lots of strong coffee. The drovers let the cattle out of the corral and the guests took over. They were on their own trailing cattle. We were going to find out what they had learned about cattle handling in the last couple of days. Everyone did just fine and the cattle strung out across the valley and headed up Hungry Canyon where we stopped for lunch.
A spindle broke on one of the wheels on a wagon in the wagon train and the personal gear that wagon held was placed on the other wagons. Help was sent to repair the broken spindle.
We arrived in the Lemmon Valley camp in the late afternoon. We had moved up in elevation out of the sagebrush and onto a juniper-covered hillside. That evening there was a roping competion to see who had mastered the art of handling a lariat rope the best. There was also a talent-night skit put on by the twin-sister Wagon Bosses Julie Jepsen and Janet Moore.
Day 5- Into Reno
During the night the wind came up as a storm moved in, the temperature began to drop. Morning came and the cattle were restless. We moved out after breakfast trailing the cattle. This was the last day of the drive and the destination was the Reno Livestock Event Center and Rodeo Grounds. Wayne Lund, 2005 President of the Reno Rodeo Association Committee, arrived in camp with his saddle horse to assist in getting the cattle down through the streets of Reno.
"This well could be the toughest part of the drive when the cattle leave the open country and start down the paved streets of Reno." advised Cow Boss Cody
Crawford. "Stepping on a manhole cover is enough to spook the cattle or your horse." However, despite the obstacles such as manhole covers, cars, road construction, spectators lining the streets taking pictures, and a few rattlesnakes along the way, this drive, like the 14 before, ended up where it was headed. It had come 100 miles from the Sand Corrals on the California/Nevada line to the Livestock Event Center corrals, in downtown Reno. What a journey!
Alive and Well in Reno:
We visited with several of the paying guests as we were waiting for the motel shuttle near the corrals.
Nathan and Angela Cole from Danube, Minnesota were unique in that they were on their honeymoon. Angela said, "We had a choice of the Bahamas or the Cattle Drive and we chose the Cattle Drive. I am a horse person. My husband is not, but he was nice enough to take me on the Cattle Drive. We had a wonderful time."
Karen Erb from Ohio said this was her first year on the cattle drive and she summed up her experience in one word, "Superb!" She did not grow up around horses. One of her co-workers had come on the drive last year and advised her to sign up. The thing she liked best about the drive was the "cowboy atmosphere." She also commented, "The food was beyond my expectations. I would definitely come back again."
Matt Ihle, who is from a city environment and works in an office each day, said, "It was scary, but I will do it again. This is the real deal." This was Matt's third year on the drive. Matt went on to say, "Everyone thinks it's a City-Slicker adventure, but it is not. We were up before sunrise each morning and on our horses and gone with the cattle by 7:30am. We were horseback most of the day, trailing cattle." Ihle and his fellow guests did a lot of work driving the cattle while the regular drovers supervised. Ihle summed up his trip by saying, "On this drive you learn a lot about horses, the whole western experience, and how the Old West used to be. Very educational!"
It was the first drive for Pamela Rowe from California. Pamela said, "I sit at a computer every day. I did this for a challenge. We have been up since 5:30 am, it was hot, cold, dusty, and I am full of dirt. It was excellent fun, however I am looking forward to a warm shower."
Cattle Drive Banquet:
That evening after every one had washed off the "trail dust" a banquet was held for all the paying guests and Cattle Drive personnel. Awards were handed out and the new Trail Boss for 2006, Marie Gaspari–Crawford, said about the drive, "This was one of the best years ever. All of you guests were fantastic, and you quickly picked up the art of being a buckaroo, handling your horse, and being a cattle drover." Marie went on to point out the paying guests were ahead of schedule every day and drove the cattle without incident or injury. 2005 was a great year for the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive.
Marie closed by saying, "We hope to see all of you horseback next year for the 2006 Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive."
The 2006 Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive will be held June 11-15, 2006.
The cost is $1,600.00 per person, which includes your horse rental, ground transportation in Reno, all meals and bar, some cool goodies and an amazing Western vacation experience.

Reno Rodeo 2005
In a personal interview with Alan Kingsley, Executive Director, Reno Rodeo Association, said about the 2005 Reno Rodeo, "This is the 86th year for this rodeo. We are called 'The Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West.' This rodeo is ranked number two for the richest payout to professional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls in North American outdoor rodeos. The tradition of the early rodeos were outdoors and we take great pride that this rodeo is still an outdoor event. This year (2005) the rodeo has nine evening performances and we have added two new events, Extreme Bull Riding and the Pace Picante Shoot-Out. The current top twelve in each sanctioned PRCA event will be here to compete in the Shoot-Out. This will be like going to a mini–National Finals Rodeo with the caliber of stock and cowboys competing. These added events will have national exposure with TV coverage by OLN, ESPN, and ESPN2 and CBS. We are flattered that the PRCA asked us to host these events.
"The two richest one-day team ropings in America will be also be held here during rodeo week. Perry Di Loreto hosts an amateur team roping and Bob Fiest hosts an Invitational Pro-team roping.
"Since 1986, the Reno Rodeo Foundation has been committed to enhancing and enriching lives of Northern Nevada families by donations to children with extraordinary needs, building community partnership, and providing scholarships to the University of Nevada,	Reno. Funding for these various projects comes from contributions from the annual all-volunteer Reno Rodeo, Reno Rodeo invitational team roping events, sales of the Nevada 'Rodeo State' license plates, 'Rhythm and Rawhide,' a fund-raising event produced in conjunction with the Reno Philharmonic Association, and grants and donations from foundations, organizations, individuals, and corporations. There is an estimated 33.2 million dollar impact on the total Reno/Sparks community during Reno Rodeo Week."
Jerry David, 2006 Reno Rodeo Association Committee President, says, "This is the 20th anniversary of the Reno Rodeo Foundation. This will be PRCA Hall of Fame rodeo announcer Bob Tallman's 30th year announcing the rodeo. Bob says, 'To the contestants who enter this rodeo, if you win, it will change your life economically.' Stock contractor Cotton Rosser of the Flying U Rodeo Company, has been involved in the Reno Rodeo for over 50 years, both as a contestant and a stock contractor. Every year there are some event changes and it is going to be a great rodeo in 2006. We look forward to seeing all of you in Reno at the 'Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West."
We would have to say that Reno, Nevada, and the Reno Rodeo Association and Foundation have captured the Professional Rodeo market in a big way!

I've always had a love for hats, even in my younger years when I didn't know quite how to style them. Hats are one of my favorite accessory items because I can always find one to wear that enhances my outfit and fits my mood. If I'm feeling casual or sporty, I'll wear a ball cap. If I'm feeling extra worldly, I'll pop on a beret. Even when I'm feeling extra stylish, I'll amp up my look with a floppy hat. Kind of like shoes or purses, a good hat can really make an outfit… or break it. That said, after shopping online and in-stores recently, I've discovered that there are plenty of hats out there perfect for that summer-to-fall transition. Below you'll find five different hat accessory options ideal for pairing with your outfits during the month of August.
I've been a baseball cap girl all my life. My daddy wore them. In fact, he had (still has) a closet full of baseball caps that I'd raid from time to time as a young kid. In college and even graduate school, a baseball cap was my go-to accessory. (In all honesty, it probably still is.) I could curl the ends of my hair, throw it up in a ponytail, then thread it in a baseball cap for an easy on-the-go look!
Above are just a few of the many hat options available to you this August. Personally, I'll be wearing my baseball caps this month while I continue my search for the perfect fall floppy hat (and possibly beret)!
I'd love to hear in the comments below which hat style is your favorite. As always, feel free to connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Essentially what happened was, we planned a long summer trip to Oregon. We went to Oregon. Oregon wasn't that great, neither were any of the other places, but we remembered we liked Wyoming, so we headed back there. Well, we got stuck in Wyoming. We hadn't planned the budget too well and we ran out of money completely, and then ran out of gas. (We just barely made it to Jackson.) We've been here for three weeks because she gets periodic small paychecks which are enough to get food and stuff but not enough to leave for anywhere substantial. Tomorrow she gets her big monthly check that WILL be enough to leave, and we'll be headed for Casper. But yeah.
Despite all this trouble, Wyoming is a nice place. I'll miss it. But I'd definitely prefer to come back under favorable circumstances than these!
Wow that's really crazy..I hope you guys are alright!

Građevinski kod (takođe građevinska kontrola ili građevinski propisi) je skup pravila koja određuju standarde za izgrađene objekte kao što su zgrade i objekti niskogradnje. Zgrade se moraju pridržavati pravilnika da bi dobile dozvolu za planiranje, obično od lokalnog veća. Glavna svrha građevinskih propisa je zaštita javnog zdravlja, sigurnosti i opšteg blagostanja, jer se odnose na izgradnju i popunjenost zgrada i objekata. Građevinski zakonik postaje zakon određene jurisdikcije kada ga formalno donese odgovarajuća vladina ili privatna vlast.

Građevinski kodovi uglavnom imaju za cilj regulisanje rada arhitekata, inženjera, dizajnera enterijera, građevinara i regulatora, ali ih u različite svrhe koriste i inspektori bezbednosti, naučnici iz oblasti životne sredine, razvijači nekretnina, podkontraktori, proizvođači građevinskih proizvoda i materijala, osiguravajuće kompanije, menadžeri objekata, stanari i drugi. Kodovi regulišu dizajn i konstrukciju građevina, ako su usvojeni zakonom.

Primeri građevinskih kodova započeli su u davnim vremenima. U SAD-u su glavni kodovi Međunarodni građevinski zakonik ili Međunarodni stambeni kod [IBC/IRC], električni i vodovodni kodovi, mehanički kodovi. Pedeset država i okrug Kolumbija usvojili su I-kodekse na nivou države ili jurisdikcije. U Kanadi, Nacionalni istraživački savet Kanade objavljuje nacionalne modele kodove.

Tipovi

Praksa razvoja, odobravanja i sprovođenja građevinskih zakona značajno se razlikuje među zemljama. U nekim zemljama vladine agencije ili kvazivladine organizacije za standarde razvijaju građevinske propise, a zatim ih u čitavoj zemlji sprovodi centralna vlada. Takvi kodovi su poznati kao nacionalni građevinski kodovi (u određenom smislu uživaju obaveznu nacionalnu primenu).

U drugim zemljama, gde je moć regulisanja građevinarstva i zaštite od požara u domenu lokalnih vlasti, koristi se sistem modela građevinskih kodova. Model građevinskih kodova nema pravni status ukoliko ga ne usvoji ili ne prilagodi nadležni organ. Razvojna tela modela kodeksa podstiču javne vlasti da se pozivaju na modele kodova u svojim zakonima, uredbama, propisima i administrativnim naredbama. Kada na njega referencira neki od ovih pravnih instrumenata, dati model kodova postaje zakon. Ova praksa je poznata kao 'usvajanje putem reference'. Kada organ za usvajanje odluči da izbriše, doda ili revidira bilo koji deo usvojenog modela koda, od razvojnog tela modela koda se obično zahteva da sledi formalnu proceduru usvajanja u kojoj se te izmene mogu dokumentovati u pravne svrhe.

Postoje slučajevi kada neke lokalne uprave odluče da razviju sopstvene građevinske propise. U jedno vreme svi veći gradovi u Sjedinjenim Državama imali su svoje građevinske kodove. Međutim, zbog sve veće složenosti i troškova razvijanja građevinskih propisa, gotovo sve opštine u SAD odlučile su da usvoje model kodova. Na primer, 2008. godine Njujork Siti je napustio svoj Zakonik o gradnji Njujorka iz 1968. godine u korist prilagođene verzije Međunarodnog građevinskog zakona. Grad Čikago ostaje jedina opština u Americi koja i dalje koristi građevinski kod koji je grad sam razvio kao deo Opštinskog kodeksa Čikaga.

U Evropi je Evrokod panevropski građevinski kod koji je zamenio starije nacionalne građevinske zakone. Svaka zemlja sada ima nacionalne anekse za lokalizaciju sadržaja Evrokoda.

Slično tome, u Indiji, svaka opština i uprava za urbani razvoj imaju svoj građevinski kod, koji je obavezan za sve građevine u njihovoj nadležnosti. Svi ovi lokalni građevinski kodovi su varijante Nacionalnog građevinskog zakona, koji služi kao model koda koji pruža smernice za regulisanje građevinske delatnosti.

Istorija

Antika

Građevinski kodovi imaju dugu istoriju. Najraniji poznati pisani građevinski zakonik deo je u Hamurabijevog zakonika, koji datira od oko 1772. pne.

Knjiga Ponovljenog zakona u Hebrejskoj Bibliji predviđala je da se na svim kućama moraju postaviti parapeti kako bi se sprečilo da ljudi padnu s krova.

Moderna era

Posle Velikog požara u Londonu 1666. godine, koji se mogao tako brzo da se proširi kroz gusto izgrađene drvene građevine grada, Zakon o obnovi Londona donesen je iste godine kao i prva značajna građevinska regulativa. Izradio ga je Metju Hejl. Taj dokument je regulisao obnovu grada, zahtevao je da stambeni objekti imaju određenu vatrootpornu sposobnost i odobrila ga je Korporacija grada Londona. Njime su ponovo otvoreni i prošireni putevi. Indijske zakone je 1680-ih donela španska kruna da bi regulisala urbano planiranje kolonija u španskim carskim posedima širom sveta.

Prvi sistematski nacionalni građevinski standard uspostavljen je Londonskim građevinskim aktom iz 1844. Među odredbama je da su graditelji morali da okružnom geodetu daju obaveštenje dva dana pre gradnje, uvedeni su propisi koji se odnose na debljinu zidova, visinu soba, materijale korištene za vršenje popravki, podelu postojećih zgrada i postavljanje i dizajn dimnjaka, kamina i odvoda, i ulice morale da se grade po minimalnim zahtevima.

Metropolitanski građevinski ured je osnovan radi regulisanja izgradnje i upotrebe zgrada širom Londona. Geodeti su bili ovlašćeni da sprovode građevinske propise, kojima se nastojalo da se poboljša standard kuća i poslovnih prostora, i da regulišu aktivnosti koje bi mogle ugroziti javno zdravlje. Godine 1855, imovina, ovlašćenja i odgovornosti kancelarije prešle su na Metropolitski odbor radova.

Grad Baltimor je svoj prvi građevinski zakonik doneo 1859. godine. Veliki požar u Baltimoru dogodio se u februaru 1904. Naknadne promene su sprovedene u skladu sa okolnostima u ostalim gradovima. Godine 1904, objavljen je Priručnik zakona o gradnji grada Baltimora. On je služio kao građevinski pravilnik četiri godine. Ubrzo je izrađen formalni građevinski zakon koji je na kraju usvojen 1908. godine

U Parizu su, tokom rekonstrukcije većeg dela grada pod Drugim carstvom (1852–70), podignuti veliki blokovi stanova, a visina zgrada je zakonom bila ograničena na najviše pet ili šest spratova.

Strukturni kvar rezervoara koji je prouzrokovao Veliku melasnu poplavu 1919. godine podstakao je Bostonsko građevinsko odeljenje da zahteva arhiviranje i potpisivanje arhitektonskih proračuna. Američki gradovi i države ubrzo su počeli da zahtevaju potpisivanje registrovanih profesionalnih inženjera za planove glavnih zgrada.

Airdate: Masters of Sex
September 18th, 2013 By David Knox 5 commentsFiled under: Programming,
Looking forward muchly to this new US drama from Showtime which will be fast-tracked on SBS ONE, replacing Vikings.
Masters of Sex sheds a light on the professional and personal lives of sexuality pioneers Masters and Johnson as their research takes them from a mid-western teaching hospital to the cover of Time magazine. It features Michael Sheen (The Queen, Twilight) and star Lizzy Caplan (Bachelorette, Mean Girls) plus The series also stars Teddy Sears as young resident Ethan Haas, Caitlin Fitzgerald as Dr Masters' wife, Beau Bridges as the Provost of Washington University Barton Scully, and Allison Janey as Barton's dutiful and unfulfilled wife.
Interesting to note in the SBS Press Release they've even borrowed the term "Express from the US" which has been a large part of Foxtel branding.
He is a brilliant scientist out of touch with his own feelings, and she is a single working mother ahead of her time. Together their research changed the way society thought about, talked about, and engaged in sex.
Express from the US, SBS is set to launch this year's raciest drama series Masters of Sex. This new twelve-part series tells the story of real life pioneers Virginia Johnson and Dr William Masters whose ground-breaking research into the
science of human sexuality ignited the sexual revolution.
The drama is heightened by the surrounding cast of hospital co-workers, loved ones and neighbours struggling to comprehend and find their place in the brave new world of Masters and Johnson.
Episode One: Thursday October 3, 9.30pm
Dr. William Masters, a leader at Washington University in his field of obstetrics and genecology, runs a successful medical practice and is seeking approval from the chancellor to commence a study on human sexuality. But the chancellor is taken aback at such a topic and refuses to support his study. Disheartened yet determined, Masters commences his study in secret, and looks to find an assistant who will be comfortable with the subject matter. During this time, former nightclub singer Virginia Johnson joins the hospital secretarial staff and proves herself to be an asset to Masters' work with her frankness and feminist values. Amidst their own personal relationship problems, together they embark on a fascinating study examining the physiological effects of sex on the human body, sparking the beginning of a sexual revolution.
Thursday 3 October, 9.30pm on SBS ONE

Lizzy Caplan in that photo really looks like a bit of a seductress. This show aswell as How to have sex after Marriage which aired on GEM is going to be quite valuable at least to me, plus entertaining i will catch it looks great. People like myself will be able to learn alot from it. Looking forward to it. Ah SBS the only network not afraid of talking about sex or showing it.
tomothyd September 18, 2013 3:10 pm
Masters and Johnson… I see where they're going with this.

you certainly know how to increase the hits on your website dave with titles like this 😉
Josh777 September 18, 2013 1:30 pm
In my lifetime the only shows I've watched on SBS are Iron Chef and Rock Wiz when there is nothing to watch on a Saturday, but this looks absolutely brilliant and will have to find SBS' catch up service to see it. P.S. good to see SBS kept to their word of airing it within 4 days of the U.S.

Best times to visit Washington D.C.'s monuments…
Best times to visit Washington D.C.'s monuments and memorials on the National Mall
The U.S. Capitol dome. (Washington Post photo by Matt McClain)
By Fritz Hahn | Washington Post
Millions of visitors descend on the National Mall every year, touring the U.S. Capitol, posing for photos in front of the memorials and picnicking on the Washington Monument grounds. With so many people jostling for space in the strip of green running between the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, the key to an enjoyable visit is finding the right time to go. These are our suggestions for making the most of the Mall.
Note: Sites are listed from east to west, starting at the Capitol. All outdoor memorials are open around the clock every day, though rangers are on duty only from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and memorial bookstores and museums have varying hours.
U.S. Capitol
Best time to visit: Morning
If you want to get inside the Capitol, the easiest and fastest way is to arrive at the same time as the people who work there. The U.S. Capitol Visitors Center, accessed from the East Front of the Capitol, opens at 8:30 a.m. — a half-hour before some senators and representatives begin public office hours. The Visitors Center begins offering its free 45-minute guided tours at 8:40 a.m., and starts new ones every 10 minutes. Visitors can reserve slots online, but if you haven't, an early arrival is usually your best chance for first-come, first-served passes. And on your way out, you'll notice how the lines to get through security have grown throughout the morning.
Early arrivals are also good for photographers: The morning sun shines brilliantly against the Capitol dome, which finished an extensive restoration in 2017.
The Washington Monument, as seen in the Reflecting Pool. (Washington Post photo by Bonnie Jo Mount)
Best time to visit: Afternoon
The Washington Monument remains closed as repairs to its elevator continue, and while the National Park Service has promised a "spring 2019" reopening for the landmark, there's still no specific date. In the meantime, the best place to take pictures of the obelisk is from the area between the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, where you can catch its reflection in the Reflecting Pool.
Jefferson Memorial
Visitors walk near columns at the Jefferson Memorial. (Washington Post photo by Matt McClain)
Crowds flock to the Tidal Basin nonstop during cherry blossom season, capturing pictures of the flowering pink and white blooms, posing for engagement photos, getting shots of the kids in pink flowered outfits — you get the idea. Morning is the best time to spend some quality time with the thousands of trees that surround the Tidal Basin, and if you come early enough, your chief competition will be exercise fiends getting in their morning run.
The Jefferson Memorial itself is mostly a peaceful place, with visitors sitting on the sun-kissed marble steps, overlooking the water and the Washington Monument beyond, or marveling at the 19-foot statue of Thomas Jefferson inside. If you want to reflect on Jefferson's words, or visit the small exhibition on the memorial's lower level, it's better to beat the rush of school groups.
Another bonus: Early risers have a better chance of scoring one of the three swan-shaped boats that glide around the Tidal Basin — they can only be rented on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning at 10 a.m.
The World War II Memorial sprawls across 7.5 acres of the Mall, in a prominent spot between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, at the top of the Reflecting Pool. If you want to explore the memorial, with its bronze reliefs showing scenes of battle and the home front, or pose for a photo in front of your state or territory's memorial column, afternoon might be the best time. This will allow you to take advantage of the memorial's most personal quality: free tours and talks led by National Park Service Rangers. Depending on the schedule, you might learn about "The Road to Pearl Harbor" or venture on a guided 2.5-mile hike to find "Obscure Memorials of the National Mall." Events often begin at 2 p.m., but check the online schedule for more details.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial
Best time to visit: Evening
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is the most immersive on the Mall: It's a series of outdoor "rooms," representing Roosevelt's four terms, filled with bronze sculptures, waterfalls and pools, depicting the Great Depression and World War II. Because the layout calls for exploration, it's most rewarding at night, when the statues cast shadows, the water shimmers, and it's peaceful enough to linger and contemplate.
But don't just take our word for it: In 1998, architect Lawrence Halprin told the Washington Post: "When people tell me they love the memorial, I always have one thing to tell them: You really ought to see it at night."
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

There's a lot of inspirational reading to be done at the most recent memorial to grace the Mall: The walls surrounding the 30-foot statue of Martin Luther King Jr. contain famous quotations from his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," his Nobel Prize acceptance speech and other notable works. Because of this — and because you'll want to take photos — it's easier to visit during daylight hours. (There's a neighboring bookshop, too, where you can buy material to take home.)
As at the World War II Memorial, park rangers are on hand to lead tours and discussions; a recent talk covered King's approach to voting rights and the 15th Amendment. Talks often begin at 2 p.m., but check with rangers or the bookstore for more information.
Korean War Veterans Memorial
The Korean War Veterans Memorial. (Washington Post photo by Ricky Carioti)
This group of 19 poncho-wearing soldiers on patrol is one of the most dramatic displays in a city that loves historic tableaux. Gesturing, crouching, alert to danger — the larger-than-life steel statues seem ready to spring into action, moving in triangular formation from a wooded area toward a large American flag.
The illusion is even more remarkable as shadows lengthen, rewarding those who visit the Korean War Veterans Memorial, its black granite memorial wall and the peaceful Pool of Remembrance at twilight or early evening.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial. (Washington Post photo by Calla Kessler)
Most visitors feel the solemn presence of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial before they reach the famous Three Servicemen Statue or see the austere memorial's black granite panels, inscribed with the names of 58,318 American casualties. Even the teenagers on school trips instinctively seem to know that this is a place for hushed voices; when you do hear someone talking on their phone, it's a visitor calling a family member for help finding a specific name on the wall.
You can visit after dark, when the memorial feels even more somber. But for first-time visitors, it's better to go during the day, when park rangers and volunteers — often veterans themselves — can assist in finding the name of a friend or loved one, so you can make a rubbing, or just reach out and touch the name. In daylight, it's easier to see the photos and tributes left at the wall, or see people reflected in the polished surface. That's when the emotional impact of the memorial is most striking.
Visitors gather near the Lincoln Memorial at dusk. (Washington Post photo by Bonnie Jo Mount)
Best time to visit: Afternoon or sunset
Situated at the western end of the Mall's axis, the Lincoln Memorial is a popular gathering spot for tourists who want to take a photograph in front of Daniel Chester French's statue of the 16th president or stand on the spot where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. It's more than just history that lures them here: The steps and benches provide a great place to rest and enjoy the view, and the adjacent parking lot is a convenient place for tour buses to pick up their charges.
Once the school groups have left for the day, though, the atmosphere becomes less frenetic. (Except, that is, on summer Tuesdays, when the Marine Corps' Drum and Bugle Corps and Silent Drill Platoon perform on the plaza at the base of the memorial.) The Lincoln Memorial offers one of the most beautiful and memorable vistas in Washington, and the white marble glows ethereally with the light of the setting sun behind it. The bookstore, focused on Lincoln and the Civil War, and a small display of images relating to the construction of the memorial are open until 8 p.m.
Take the bus
Visitors sometimes talk about "the Mall" as if it's a small, easily walkable park. In fact, the stroll from the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center to the Lincoln Memorial is almost three miles, and that's if you don't make any detours to memorials or museums along the way. If you're planning to hopscotch between attractions on the Mall — say, from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial to the National Museum of African American History and Culture — the best way to do it is on the free Circulator bus.
The Circulator, which launched a route around the Mall in 2015, is an accessible city-run bus that follows a 15-stop route that begins at Union Station before wrapping around the Mall and Tidal Basin. Riders can hop on and off at any time. (Across the city, the Circulator promises buses run every 10 minutes, though the gaps between service are frequently longer.) As a bonus, buses are air-conditioned, and newer models offer free WiFi and USB ports for charging phones. See a route map at nationalmall.dccirculator.com.
