Discover the Value of an Orlando Dinner Show

Author : Jose M. Negron
If you are staying in Orlando for an extended period of time, you are most likely planning on taking a day off from the theme parks. You can easily wind up walking five miles a day at most of the parks! Some families like to take a day off to experience resort amenities, do some shopping in and around Orlando, and enjoy a nice family dinner. Luckily, Orlando offers three major dinner shows that prove to be tremendous values for families interested in a lively feast.

What can I expect?

Dinner shows in Orlando are quite unique. Though they were not invented here, they sure seem to have been perfected in Orlando. Unlike the majority of dinner shows around the country, these shows are permanent and donÂ’t change depending on the season. Audience participation is encouraged; do not be afraid to get vocal!

Where to goÂ…

Depending on the makeup of your party, you will want to take each venueÂ’s theme into consideration in making your decision.

Arabian Nights
This family-oriented dinner show features a cast of over fifty beautiful horses in an indoor 25-act equestrian show. Voted #1 dinner show time and time again, Arabian Nights has created its own niche as a truly unique venue. Some past awards include: 2001 Best Romantic Restaurant, 1999 Golden Palm Award, 1999 Florida Living Magazine, 1995 Odyssey Award, Best Dinner Show, and more. Reservations are required.

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament
This dinner show transports guests back to the medieval era. While guests enjoy a multi-course feast, eaten without utensils, a cast of 100 knights on horseback participate in an interactive show that kids and teens in particular will enjoy. The show includes a lighthearted storyline complete with authentic jousting matches, and hand-to-hand combat. Reservations are required.

Pirates Dinner Adventure
This Broadway-quality show is presented on an enormous, fully-rigged pirateÂ’s ship. The elaborate set provides the backdrop for action, romance, and comedy; all of this while you dine on authentic Caribbean cuisine. Relive the time of swashbuckling pirates on the rough seas!

A superior value

If you have the time, it is highly recommended you experience at least one of these shows. You would spend an average of $15-$20 per person at a decent restaurant anyway, for a comparable amount; why not immerse yourself in a total nighttime entertainment experience?

The Dark Side of Podcasting

Author : Steve Humphrey
Podcasting is a great way to reach people and deliver your
message. But what happens when it gets your web site shut
down?No, I'm not talking about copyright issues, spam or any of
the things you might think of. I'm talking about the problem
of "bandwidth". I'll bet you never even thought of that!Here's the problem: Podcast files can be very large. Some of
them are over 75MB in size. Every time a file is downloaded
you're using bandwidth. And your web host puts a limit on how
much bandwidth you can use per month.A great many web hosts will simply shut down your site when
you reach your limit for the month. Often they don't even let
you know that it's happened. When it does, though, your web
site and your podcast are BOTH "off the air".Let's look at how and why this happens. Suppose you have
a 10MB podcast file you want to share with the world. And
let's suppose you have a few people listening. But how many?
If your host gives you 10GB per month, up to 1000 people can
download the show. So far, so good.Now suppose you get your podcast listed in iTunes. Suddenly
up to 40,000,000 people are aware of your podcast. Many of
them will want to hear it. That's great, right?Well, it is and it isn't. If too many people start listening
to your podcast, you'll end up using all of your bandwidth.
There's nothing left for delivering web pages. So your site
goes down. Or - you get hit with a huge bill for those extra
gigabytes(GB) of bandwidth.OOPS! You've just become a victim of your own success. It has
happened already. One podcaster got his show listed in iTunes
and went from 100 listeners to 6,000 listeners in a few days.
His podcast used 100GB of bandwidth in 3 days!Guess who had to pay for it? Yep, HE did. Now this guy is very
serious about his show, and he pays the 100s of dollars a month
to make it available. Not everyone can do that...So what's the answer? That depends. How serious you are about
having people listen to your show? Can you make any money with
it? Will you make enough to at least cover your cost? And can
you keep your web site "live" for taking orders, etc.?There are sites that will host and deliver your podcast for a
fee. The quality of service and the pricing varies. But at the
very least, your web site won't be shut down just because your
podcast has become too successful.Choose a podcasting service site that has a package you can
afford. Be sure that they actually deliver what they promise.
Be prepared to pay more for better service. And be sure you can
get help if you need it. Ask for actual customer's comments!For ease of use, a short learning curve and fanatical customer
service, I highly recommend:http://www.podblaze.comPodcasting is a fairly new medium. It's been around for about a
year. The growth rate is phenomenal and it's here to stay. The
only question, really, is... When will you start podcasting?=========================================

Pricing is based on quantity of order and is often negotiable.B2C (Business-to-Consumer) is a form of electronic commerce in which products or services are sold from a firm or company to a consumer. This selling usually happened through catalogs, e-shops!B2E - Business to Employee is a form of electronic commerce which is more commonly known as an Intranet. A basic focus of business is the employee, rather than the consumer! Usually it is some kind of portal for everyone within an organization. This portal is designed to include not only everything that an employee might hope to find on an intranet, but also any personal information and links that the employee might want.C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) is a form of electronic commerce in which involves the electronically-facilitated transactions between consumers through some third party. A common example is the online auctio, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally charges a flat fee or commision.

It is so because its merge the best attributes from PKI. SSL uses PKI and Digital Certificates to ensure privacy and authentication. The procedure is something like this: the client sends a message to the server, which replies with a digital certificate. Using PKI, server and client negotiate to create session keys, which are symmetrical secret keys specially created for that particular transmission. Once the session keys are agreed, communication continues with these session keys and the digital certificates. (ecommerce-digest.com)To known that this page is secure with SSL, you need just look to the address bar: if the address begins with "https" and there is padlock icon at the bottom of the page, than you can be sure that this page is safer than other!

Web Design Of Information Portals

Author : Steve Hill

The internet is all about finding out information on a particular subject. There are many different types of website, some offer a service, some offer a product and some merely offer advice. In this article I write about this third type of site which I refer to as information portals.I am not sure if you have ever heard of a program that the search engine Google run, which is called Google adsense. Basically people pay to appear on the front pages of results under certain keywords such as web hosting. Their advert then appears under the sponsored listing sections of the search results which can be above or to the right of the natural listings. This advertising program is called Google adwords and has proved to be very popular with advertisers who are attempting to attract more traffic to their site. This is also known as pay per click (ppc) and many of the other major search engines also run similar programs.Google adsense is a bit different. This is where people who own a website allow Google to include these Google adword adverts on their site. When people who visit the site click on one of the ads, the website owner receives a percentage of the income received. This is paid to the website owner normally on a monthly basis by Google.One of the problems with this program is that it is taking your visitors away from your site. You may be making some money but these people of course may have bought your product or taken up your service if they had spent longer at and reading your website.This is where sites which are purely information based and do not offer a service or product can do well with Google adsense. The website owners of these information portals are quite happy for you to click on one of the Google adverts as they do not care if you move onto reading another site.These information portals are becoming more and more popular with people who are trying to increase their monthly earnings on adsense. People who design this type of site should normally be able to offer their services for a very affordable fee. Typically you should not need to break the bank and I personally know of somebody who only charges 150 plus free hosting for a fifteen page information portal site. The web designer is able to find the content for these information portals in the many article directories which are now out there.

Look for best price in terms of risk – rewardMany people when trying overseas property investment simply look for the cheapest price they can find and assume that prices will go up in value and they make all sorts of projections but thats all they are projections and not based on reality.In most instances the cheapest properties do have high profit potential if the market takes off, but in most instances they don't.Many investors find their overseas property investment was cheap when they bought it but gets cheaper!The way to avoid this sceario is to buy property that may not be the cheapest but has the best potential for reward in relation to risk.This means buying a market that has taken off is attracting investment and has a track record.2. Buy a trend in motionInvestors in any market to do with money know that "a trend in motion should be bought" and this applies to overseas property investment.Regardless, of whether you are buying a villa, a vacation home, or a condo, you want the location you buy to be rising in value.It's a fact that if you have a property trend in motion its likely to last for decades, as steady and rising investment attracts more investment.For example, in Central America Costa Rica has been the leader for years and many investors have made 30 – 100% profits annually.Many investors however have decided there is more potential in "newer markets" such as Honduras, Belize or Nicaragua, but the risk is higher and a long term trend is NOT Established.Costa Rica has huge established expat community and record investment and the fact that a huge community exists means it's popular and will grow.Will potentially unstable and poorer countries come to rival it? Maybe, but you are buying potential and NOT a long established trend.It's for each investor to decide how much risk they want to take in their overseas property investments – A proven market with solid gains and an emerging market with higher risk reward.Keep in mind that with most new overseas property investment hot spots they remain "hot" for a while and quietly die.3. Be careful with locationNo matter what country you make your overseas property investment in, don't buy unless you are buying near developments or infrastructure that will see real estate values rise in price.Don't buy in an area you think will become popular. Buy in an area you know WILL become popular as it's either near new infrastructure such as roads, marina's etc, or near resorts that are likely to expand.4. Make sure you know the countryIs it stable, how popular is it, what are your rights?When buying you need to do a complete review and make sure it's a safe and stable market for you to invest in.Get a good realtor with solid track record to help you and don't try and save by doing your own legal work!Get an attorney who knows the law and make sure your overseas property investment is done correctly.Tips to maximize rewardsThe 4 tips above for overseas property investment will allow you maximise your rewards and minimize your risks.You can make more by not following these tips!The above tips in overseas property investment are ONLY for investors who want solid rewards with low risk – not pioneers who want to take chances.Be a pioneer if you wish, many made huge gains but remember most took arrows!FREE Report!On How to target large gains with low risk in overseas property investment as well as a focus on Costa Rica one of the most popular overseas property investment destinations with a solid track record of growth visit http://www.costaricalandlots.com
