I'm In A Fog

Anthony Shupenko Jr., P.E
August 20, 2009

The “Gunning Fog Index” measures the readability of a sample of writing. The result indicates the number of years of formal education that a person needs to easily understand the text on the first reading. I thought about this recently while thumbing through some codes - in this case, the International Fuel Gas Code.

Fan Fair at the New (York City) Ballparks

I have been fortunate enough to visit both of New York City's new baseball stadiums this year. As a die-hard NY Yankee fan, it pains me to say that the new Citi Field (home of the NY Mets) is far superior to the new Yankee Stadium (ouch!).

Watt Are You Talking About? Part 2 - The Summer Version

Anthony Shupenko Jr., P.E
June 25, 2009

“Do the numbers made sense?” is a question that often bounces through my head. This question has once again been raised – this time with full-page ads for “…a home cooling breakthrough that uses 96% less electricity than air conditioners.” Wow, I thought, no more high rates to cool my home!

The new Palazzo Versace hotel Dubai, which is now under construction, will have the first refrigerated beach in the world-so guests can sunbathe in comfort during the hottest days of the year. According to London’s Sunday Times, summer temperatures in Dubai average 103°F and can reach 122°F.

Illegal Aliens (Plumbing, That Is!)

New Jersey (via the Uniform Construction Code and the National Standard Plumbing code) specifically prohibit some plumbing items. Then how come I can go into the local big-box stores and purchase them?

Watt Are You Talking About?

Anthony Shupenko Jr., P.E
March 6, 2009
No Comments
I am a person who looks at numbers – “Do the numbers made sense?” is a question that often bounces through my head. This question has been prevalent the last few months whenever I see (often) full page ads for “revolutionary” electric heaters to slash heating bills. These generally appear to be for the same type of heater, but with different packaging and deals.

Lend Me A Sympathetic Ear!

December 5, 2008

Woke up at about 4 am one day last week to the sound of a “fog horn” in the house. Went to the bathroom – where the tub was a sub-woofer. The noise was even louder in the kitchen. and even worse in the basement...

One Man's Thoughts on Women in Public Restrooms

Anthony Shupenko Jr., P.E
November 21, 2008

As I was waiting for my wife after a show recently, I gave the “nod” to several other guys, also waiting, and wondered about the woman experience in public restrooms.

Anthony Shupenko Jr., P.E
October 17, 2008
No Comments
New Jersey recently turned down a request to require the retrofit installation of fire sprinkler systems in existing high-rise buildings. My concern is that in the spirit of compromise, NJ is considering requiring the installation of sprinklers in common areas, with one head in each apartment, as an alternative to a completely sprinklered building. In my humble opinion, one sprinkler head in an apartment provides little, if any, help.
