Play iPhone Casino Games Today

March 23, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The iPhone casino continues to grow on popularity as smart phones, and particularly the iPhone, gain users. iPhone casino games are even more convenient than online games.

London, UK, March 23, 2011 — The iPhone casino continues to grow on popularity as smart phones, and particularly the iPhone, gain users. iPhone casino games are even more convenient than online games.

Play iPhone Casino Games Today:
As an increasing number of people begin to move from their desktop computers to mobile devices, the iPhone casino is ready to answer the increase in demand for top quality iPhone casino games. Recent studies have indicated that there will be more smart phones on the market by the end of the year than there are laptop computers. And the undisputed leader in mobile gaming is the iPhone casino. It not only offers the largest number of games but also the highest quality gaming experience. A number of top slots games have been converted into iPhone casino games with no drop in the playing experience. The high quality iPhone screen has proven to be capable of presenting all of the necessary images that people expect from online casino games. Some games even play better on the mobile device because the screen helps focus the images in an optimal way.

The iPhone Casino Leads the Charge to Mobile Gaming:
Online casino games, which began to appear in large numbers less than a decade ago, helped revitalize the casino industry, giving people the chance to experience the thrills of casino action without forcing them to travel to Monte Carlo or Las Vegas. People responded to the convenience of playing in the comfort of their homes or offices in record numbers, forcing game developers to innovate newer and better games. The new demand led directly to the creation of dynamic five-reel slots games that have become the norm in most online casinos. The next level of development, which has made games even more convenient and even more accessible, is the creation of the iPhone casino. With iPhone casino games, you can take a few spins on the slots whenever the mood strikes, since the game is literally in your hands, or within reach, at all times.

A Wide Range of Games at the iPhone Casino:
While slots games have received a significant amount of innovation online, poker and blackjack games remain immensely popular with the public. The iPhone casino has games that satisfy all tastes, and cater to the different moods that people may have during the course of the day. Some of the most popular iPhone casino games include Royal Derby, which is version of a horse racing game, and Roulette, which looks as though it were designed for the iPhone screen. Of course, there are massively popular slots such as Thunderstruck and Major Millions, to keep the slots fans happy. New games are constantly under development, so check out the iPhone casino today.

Book Sparks Conversation About Skin Color and Making a Difference

March 19, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

The Color of People, Labuda hopes to spread a message that all skin tones together make a beautiful world and that each person is unique, just the way they are supposed to be.

Valley View, OH, March 19, 2011 — “An array of colors is supposed to be beautiful, something to be appreciated,” says author Scott Labuda. “You don’t see a painter using only yellow, for example, when he creates something,” he said, “but, when it comes to different skin colors, misunderstandings often occur which creates many problems.”

And so, with his soon to be released book, The Color of People, Labuda hopes to spread a message that all skin tones together make a beautiful world and that each person is unique, just the way they are supposed to be.

“I learned at an early age that I was a story teller and this is a story I have been anxious to tell,” Labuda said.

A native of Seven Hills, Ohio, the author graduated from Trinity High School before earning his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from John Carroll University. After college, Labuda worked with disadvantaged youths at Covenant House in New York City and Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Chicago. He also lived in several other cities, including Los Angeles, before moving back to Ohio in 2002.

Labuda said The Color of People is a simple book with a simple message. “The color of one’s skin is neither arbitrary nor accidental. It is, instead, part of God’s perfect plan. Each of us is born with the perfect color of skin, selected for us alone, by God Himself,” Labuda said, “I hope to spark conversation among people about how they look at themselves and others. I want people to know that they can make a difference.”

Labuda is a member of Mensa International and the Screen Actors Guild. He currently owns and operates an extraordinary smoothie bistro in Strongsville, Ohio, which he founded with his brothers. Labuda is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys snow skiing, rollerblading, motorcycling and working out.

Group Voicemail a “First” among Group Texting Services

March 18, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Voice Mail & Conference Calling Rolled out by SMS Texting Service GroupFlier.

Bethesda, MD, March 18, 2011 — Group texting service GroupFlier (http://www.groupflier.com) today announced a group voicemail feature that is unique among the band of group texting services like GroupMe, GroupedIn, and TextPlus.

Showing it off this week at the South by Southwest event (SXSW), GroupFlier users can now send or listen to voicemails. Another new service that users can take full advantage of freely is creating and joining conference calls.

“The group voicemail feature is unique among all the texting players,” said Morris Panner, GroupFlier CEO. “Sometimes a 140-character text is not enough to convey a message. A baseball coach, for example, can alert all the players on the team about a change in a game location and explain in detail why, for whatever reason. Some of our users just find it easier or more expedient to talk and leave voicemail.”

About the Voicemail Feature:
* The group creator can send a voicemail to everyone in the group. Individual members can also create a voicemail however that voicemail goes only to the group owner/creator.
* Group members receive an SMS message informing them that a new voicemail is waiting for them.
* The menu system handles multiple voicemails that can be deleted at any time.
Conference Calling Support
* Anyone in a chat group can create a conference call but only the group owner can create a conference call that will reach all members.
* Group members receive an SMS message inviting them to join the conference.
* A conference call has an imposed maximum of 40 participants.

GroupFlier allows any community of friends – club, team, class or party – to use a single text message (or voicemail) to reach everyone in the group at once. Users can also create public groups of curated texts open to anyone wishing to join.

Yesterday the company announced that its free group text messaging app is available on the Android Market as well as on the iPhone App Store.

The GroupFlier Android app can be found on the Android Market by clicking:
