Image
Tilman Fertitta | Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for Haute Living The billionaire restaurateur says that putting his employees back to work is the “greatest thing in the world” Houston restaurateur Tilman Fertitta praised Texas governor Greg Abbott’s decision to reopen many of the state’s businesses, including restaurants, on May 1. In an interview with KPRC Houston, Fertitta called Abbott’s executive order that will allow restaurants to open their dining rooms at 25% capacity a “wise decision.” Fertitta was a member of the Governor’s Strike Force’s Special Advisory Council, which provided “advice and counsel” to the governor as he developed plans to reopen businesses, alongside other prominent Texas business figures like Michael Dell and Houston’s own Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale. Following Abbott’s order, Fertitta plans to open his Houston restaurants, including Willie G’s Seafood and Mastro’s Steakhouse, at 25 percent capacity on Friday. “What I’m most ha...

Storms leave thousands in the dark throughout Houston

Image
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Rapidly moving storms brought high winds to Houston, knocking out power to thousands Wednesday morning. Nearly 160,000 customers were in the dark just before 6 a.m., according to CenterPoint Energy . The outages came as winds in excess of 60 mph blew through Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Galveston counties, according to Harris County Flood Control District Meteorologist Jeff Lindner. Some areas may not see power restored until 11:30 a.m. according to CenterPoint's outage map estimates. Photos from viewers showed minor damage, including a gas station canopy that was blown over in the Fifth Ward. Traffic in the region slowed to a crawl as vehicles navigated through blinding rain and high water in some places. After the storms clear on Wednesday morning, sunshine and lower humidity are expected Wednesday afternoon. Another stormy cool front may arrive in the area late Tuesday or early Wednesday next week.

Legal? Constitutional? Harris Region order calling for face coverings challenged

Image
The mandatory order issued by Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo follows those of other metro areas, but some Texas judges claim it’s not allowed under state law. HOUSTON — It’s become a polarizing issue about citizen rights and the government’s reach, with public health and safety stuck in the middle. The mandatory face-covering order issued by Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo follows those of other metro areas, but some Texas judges claim it’s flat out not allowed under state law. “I do not find a statutory or legal basis that would allow me or anyone else in government to issue an order requiring citizens to wear a mask in public,” Montgomery County Jude Mike Keough posted on his official Facebook page. “My general counsel was crystal clear,” said Galveston County Judge Mark Henry. “It's unconstitutional and you will get you sued.” Th...

Big Brute – Loves the jobs you hate!

Image
If you’ve ever tried to sweep large floor areas with a broom, you’ll know what an endless task it is. It stirs up dust into the air which is unpleasant to breathe in and coats you, your colleagues and your goods. It takes forever and is back-breaking. The floor never even seems clean afterwards – you’re still left with that gritty, slippery feeling underfoot. With a Big Brute Warehouseman Industrial Vacuum Cleaner, cleaning large floor areas is quick, easy and effective. The Big Brute Warehouseman has an extra-wide floor brush mounted on the front of its trolley. Just switch on and push along at walking pace – the floor brush cuts a swathe through the dust. The floor brush hugs the floor as you go, due to the Big Brute Warehouseman’s powerful suction, ensuring it follows the contours and bumps leaving the floor really clean in its wake. Dust, dirt and debris is swept and sucked up, even that really fine dust that’s been ground up by the wheels of your forklifts. And because all the...

SICK SensorApps Ensure Smooth Docking for Pallets and Dollies

Image
An innovative 3D camera and SensorApp solution from SICK has enabled rapid, damage-free guidance of automated and driver-assisted high-bay forklifts into pallet pockets, as well as the precise and efficient pick-up of dollies by automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The SICK Pallet Pocket and SICK Dolly Positioning SensorApps run on SICK’s Visionary T-AP 3D time-of-flight snapshot camera. They promise to cut out delays associated with lining up both automated and manual forklifts to load pallets in high-bay warehouses, as well as positioning AGVs to collect dollies. The new Apps, developed in SICK’s AppSpace software environment, work by positioning the camera in front of the pocket or dolly chassis within a working range of 1.5m to 3m. Using a single shot of light, the SICK Visionary T-AP 3D camera captures a 3D image, then pre-processes and evaluates the co-ordinates of the pallet pocket or space under the dolly, before outputting to the vehicle controller. The information can also be ...

Tiseo Paving Company Prospering in Dallas, Texas

Image
For Louis Tiseo, what his dad has accomplished in building a successful paving company in the Dallas Metroplex brings a lot of pride. Tiseo Paving Company, which moved to Dallas in 1981, has 120 employees. Many are third generation Tiseo employees. “My 81-year-old dad (Art) is still very active in the business, and has no plans to slow down,” said Louis Tiseo, who started working at age 14 with his dad. Louis serves as president, while Art is the CFO. “He’s out in the field 99 percent of the time, directing jobs. He loves it. And we’re very close to those who work with us. I grew up with a lot of the people that work with us today, and many of their dads also worked here.” The company operates pavers and a fleet of 35 Kenworth trucks, including T880 mixers and dumps, a few T800 heavy haulers, and several T370 stakebeds and water trucks. Its core business is working with municipalities on road paving jobs. “It’s 98% of what we do,” s...
