Have You Seen The Arabian Nights Dinner Show?

by Andrew W John

The Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been wowing visitors to Orlando since 1988 – and it continues to be the ultimate in Dinner Shows, taking place in the world’s largest indoor equestrian center for a permanent show.

This show tells the magical tale of Princess Scheherazade and her search for her true love Prince Khalid. The story is told with a cast of more than 65 horses, thrilling horsemanship and beautiful, eye catching costumes. The very latest in sound, lighting and special effects technology is used to bring this story to life. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show is a truly unforgettable experience for anyone who sees it.

The second that you walk into the 1,200 person capacity Palace of Horses, you will be struck speechless by the magical atmosphere as you are taken to your seats, all of which offer spectacular views of the action onstage. Those who love horses will be delighted by the beauty and strength of the Arabian Horses, the charm of the Andalusian horses, the heavy Belgian horses and Percherons. Also featured are Painted horses, reminding one of the Old West and the star of the show – The Black Stallion. Familiar to all of us from films, television and Walter Farley’s books, The Black Stallion has become the symbol of the Arabian Nights Dinner Show – and with good reason; he never fails to impress visitors.

If you are accustomed to the food at typical Dinner Shows, then you know it can be a little predictable and bland – and sometimes barely warm. Prepare yourself for a surprise then. The Arabian Nights Dinner Show will confound these preconceptions. For your main course, you can choose from New York Strip Steak, Grilled Chicken Breast, Black Angus Chopped Steak or a Primavera Penna Pasta Bowl (which can be prepared as suitable for vegans as well as vegetarians). In addition, there’s a fresh salad and a delicious dessert – as well as unlimited beer, wine or Pepsi products. And the food is good! If you have special dietary needs, then, as long as you give the venue prior notice, this won’t present them with any problems.

The Arabian Nights Dinner Show has been in the hands of Mark Galen Miller and his family from the very beginning 20 years ago and has developed into the most honored show of its kind in the world – regularly winning awards such as Best Theme Restaurant, Best Dinner Theater, Best Performing Arts Group and Venue – and many more. Because the show is constantly re-inventing itself and evolving because of the skilful introduction of new ideas, many people return time after time.

The whole family will be thrilled and entertained by the spectacle and magic of the Arabian Nights Dinner Show. This is a show which has it all, including spectacular choreography and peerless horsemanship. A chariot race during the show is sure to get your blood flowing; but the undoubted star of the whole show is The Black Stallion who even performs solo with nor halter or rider.

Certainly a highlight of any visit to Orlando, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is a memorable experience. For an additional cost of around 10 dollars per person, you can take advantage of the VIP package. This will mean that not only do you receive a complimentary drink in the VIP lounge before dinner, you will also have seats in the first three rows, a free show poster and the opportunity to go backstage to meet the stars prior to the show.

Anyone who enjoys a thrill and the spectacle of live theater, the Arabian Nights Dinner Show is without question the go-to destination.

Throwing a Hens Party in Five Easy Steps

by Louise Servage

Step One: The Guest List

“Borrowing” the bride-to-be’s address book and calling all her family and friends or as many people as you can comfortably accommodate in your house and in your budget.

Remember, that not everyone will be able to come, so keep that in mind. Research shows, that apart from really close friends, co-workers or family members, only 30 per cent of the second tier friends even show up. After all they have played the bridal shower games a gazillion times and there is monetary outlay involved (getting a gift). Everyone has so many social commitments already that assume less than half of the people you invite to actually show up.

Step 2: The Bridal Registry

When sending out the invites, always place a note as to where the couple has registered for gifts so that’s they don’t get three toasters and four waffle makers! And don’t forget to include a RSVP card or call and make sure that your guest count is accurate

Step 3: Picking the Venue

Depending on your guest list and budget, decide if you want to host an quite affair at home or have a more sophisticated or wild event at a restaurant or club.

Step 4 on How to Throw a Bridal Shower: Deciding on Food

Depending on the venue, make plans on catering the food, cooking it yourself or asking everyone to bring in a dish. If you choose the last option, always coordinate what each person is bringing so that you do not end up with four desserts and no salad. Assign one item to each person

Step 5: Whip up Games

Don’t just go the old party games search the we and try to find something a bit more interesting then “the Usual” thats right make this nights entertainment memorable. One Game that good for showers is the scrap booking game. Basically ask each guest to make a scrapbook page for the bride putting them all together and give it at the bridal shower.

Useful Mindsets in Dealing with Male Competition – II

by Vin DiCarlo

The idea that the other man can be more “dominant” that you are is the next important thing that I want to talk about.

The alpha male during caveman days had a real power – he knows where to get resources like food, and was physically stronger, that he could beat up competitors. The concept of the alpha male is completely obsolete.

But ask yourself if those same power are still existing today. Every man with a source of income can survive on his own – if you’re reading this, you probably have an access to your needs like food. You’re all set.

Plus, its illegal to use the physical strength just to beat people up. It is pretty much irrelevant to use in the modern world.

You’ll always end up losing if you attack another person because the police always win.

If you mind doing that, you are LETTING RANDOM MEN TO STOP YOU FOR NO REASON!

Pardon my French, but who is HE to say who YOU talk to???

It was annoying – remembering all the girls I missed out on because I was scare about some DUDE. And I get mad knowing that the other guys are dealing with some crap!

You are going to look back on all the things you did and didn’t do, when the time comes that you’re on your deathbed. How painful it is to say “I haven’t approached that girl because I was scared of another guy,” or “I could have enjoyed being with so many beautiful women if only I have approached them even if they were TALKING to another guy.”

I don’t want you to be like that.

So let’s understand it deeply. Seeing the other guy as more dominant means you don’t really understand dominance.

You see, you instantly consider yourself NOT dominant when you’re concerned with who is more dominant. There’s a better focus.

Dominant men don’t think about who is dominant. To be dominant, you must first THINK like a dominant man. So what do dominant men think about? Whatever it is they are doing or want.

So you see another guy talking to a group of girls. Instead of worrying about whether or not he’s more dominant than you, focus on the girls.

I seldom even acknowledge other guys, because it’s proven to be just a waste of time. 9 out of 10 women don’t even know the guy – they just meet him.

Or if they do, he’s a friend of ONE of the girls, and the rest barely know him.

It’s seldom for women to go out with a guy they are dating – normally they will bring a guy that is more of a protector/friend because a guy like that is more valuable when they go out on the town.

And aside from that, if he IS with one of the girls, then it will be a fair game because it means that he’s NOT with the other girls.

If you are concerned with who’s the alpha male, then you are NOT the alpha male by definition. As a matter of fact, it’s questionable whether alpha males truly exist in the modern era.

Have your focus in a USEFUL place and don’t assume anything. And don’t let some random guy prevent you from enjoying YOUR LIFE!

How to Deal with Male Competition when Meeting Women-I

by Vin DiCarlo

Have you ever avoided talking to a woman just because she was talking to another guy?

Or maybe you avoided approaching a group of girls with one or two guys with them because you feared embarrassment just because you ASSUMED that those guys were cooler than you.

There are two reasons why guys have a fear in talking with women who were with other guys.

Most guys when they saw the girl being with another guy, they think it is her boyfriend.

Guys shouldn’t think this as a barrier of talking to a woman. Plus – she’s not a guy’s “slave” or a piece of property, so she is free to talk to whomever she chooses, especially in a social situation like in the bar where people meet other people.

Approaching a woman who is “with” a guy often will make you look extremely confident, and draw out his jealous side, making him look insecure and weak.

The second reason why guys don’t approach woman who is “with” a guy points to a deep insecurity based on a simple misconception.

Guys assumed that the “other guy” is stronger, cooler, or somehow more powerful than they are. Men tend to be threatened by other men.

This exist in an ancient survival strategy that has been passed through human minds.

It’s often hard to tell who the more “dominant” human is in any given interaction. The social hierarchy is very subtle, and mostly unconscious. So when a male is confronted by another male, he doesn’t know how dominant the other guy is.

As was probably common thousands of years ago, a guy doesn’t know if he will be embarrassed verbally.

So it’s better to play safe by assuming that the other guy is a threat. Guys that were too bold may have won a few confrontations, but it will take a single loss to end up dead or exiled from the game.

And then their genes were taken out of the “race” so to speak.

Usually the one that can lived long enough to survive and reproduce are those guys that played it safe and avoided confrontation.

The irony of this is that nowadays this hard-wired survival strategy is the basis for most approach anxiety – guys avoid women unnecessarily because they are making false assumptions.

The thing is, most times when you see a woman talking to another guy in the bar or club, she’s not WITH him.

They JUST MET!

For many instances I’ve approached a girl with a guy thinking it was her boyfriend, then only to find out that he was just a random dude who just approached her. Or he was just a friend or relative.

I have regrets when I remember that I used to completely not talking to a woman because I saw her being with another guy. So many opportunities that I’ve wasted. This brings me to my first point:

I SHOULDN’T ASSUME THEY ARE TOGETHER UNTIL I SEE A PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. I DON’T KNOW WHAT HE MEANS TO THE GIRL.

Approach a woman so that you will know what they really are. Just remember to be alert and respectful, because in the off chance they are together, the guy may be the insecure jealous type and start a physical confrontation.

So use your head – just don’t limit your options by making false assumptions.
