Don't Fuel the Flames.

2 April, 2013

Gastonia, NC (April 2, 2013) -- Last night, EQ Industrial Services' facility in Apex, North Carolina, broke out in explosions and fires, forcing the evacuation of 17,000 local residents.  EQIS, based in Wayne, Michigan, operates a number of facilities around the country that dispose of, recycle, and transport hazardous chemical wastes.

A fire did break out at 10 p.m. last night and no one was at the facility at the time.  Special industrial firefighters hired by EQIS have already brought the fire under control.  Residents in the immediate area however, were evacuated as a precaution and should be able to return to their homes tomorrow, pending permission by local authorities.  Several dozen residents were admitted to local hospitals with complaints of breathing problems, but many have been released already; about a dozen emergency responders were treated as well.

Because of the diverse nature of the materials stored at the plant, the cause of the fire is not yet know.  Rumors that the facility stores extremely dangerous chlorine gas and that the fire was spreading to other local nearby businesses are NOT true.  At this point (Friday afternoon), tests conducted by the North Carolina State Department of Environment and Natural Resources "had not detected anything out of the ordinary in the air."

We apologize for the inconvenience and we will do everything we can to try and prevent this from happening again in the future.  We are working hard to find the cause of the fire and will notify residents as soon as we do.

I can't phone without my iPhone

2 April, 2013

Gastonia, NC. (April 2, 2013) -- Why would someone want to buy our Apple iPhone 5 over other smartphones?  Could it be that this year we were rewarded our 9th straight J.D. Power and Associates award for customer satisfaction?  Or maybe it could be that every detail of the iPhone 5 has been considered; such as adding retina display which makes the picture crystal clear, improved battery life, an A6 chip which makes the iPhone 5 powerful but not power hungry, ultra fast wireless and LTE connection, world's most popular camera on Flikr, iOS 6 which is the world's most advanced operating system, Siri, and support from REAL people.  We know everyone HATES calling support and having to speak with a computer.  I would ask Siri if I wanted to do that.

Not only is the iPhone 5 up to date with the latest technology but there are literally millions of ways to be entertained and from one trusted source: the App Store.  You purchase the apps through Apple so you know you are truly getting a licensed product and your information will stay secured.  The Apps range everything from The Bible to a Finger Treadmill.  You always need to keep those fingers lean and mean!

Now try asking your customers which they would rather have: an iPhone 5 or some other smartphone that doesn't have any rewards.  My guess is that they will go with our product.  Always remember: It's Apple or nothing.
