Unattached singles can register on online dating sites leading up to Valentines day in the hope of getting their fair share of love.

To make the most of your special day, here are some inspirational dating ideas to capture the heart of your Valentine!

Cook together.

Eating out is one of the most obvious and common ways to celebrate Valentines Day. Set the mood at home with candles and wine, select a recipe and have some fun cooking together. A great way to start a memorable evening.

Adventures.

If you both enjoy common interests such as being active try roller skating, ice skating or a theme park to kick off the nights proceedings and catch a bite to eat afterwards.

A picnic.

Its hard to beat a romantic picnic. Pick a nice location such as the Botanic Gardens, a river or the best of all the beach, followed by a dip in the surf at sunset.

Walter Minton asked:


Are you a movie fan that likes to take interesting vacations? Wouldn’t it be fun to take a trip to southern California to see movie filming locations?

California is rich with movie history with many interesting filming spots you can visit. If you have never been to Universal City then this is a good place to start. Here you can go behind the scenes and see sets used repeatedly in the movies. After your tour, visit Universal city walk with dining and shopping.

Nevertheless, everyone visits these major attractions and you and I are serious movie buffs and want something more interesting.

The very best place in the world for movie and western history fans is Gene Autry’s Museum of the American West witch is part of The Autry National Center at 4700 Western Heritage Way off interstate 5 near Griffith Park. Let me tell you folks this Museum has the most amazing things you have ever seen. Some exhibits are from movie history and many of the exhibits are real life. Annie Oakley’s true history and the actual gun she used to make it for example will have you saying, “Hey, this girl was the real deal”.

After the museum since you are already in Griffith Park take the drive up to Griffith Planetarium and see the spot where James Dean made Rebel Without a Cause. Remember the school trip and the climactic shoot-out. The studios filmed many movies here in this huge city park. Remember the scene in The Rocketeer in front of the planetarium when he fights the hoods and flies up to the blimp. Other films featuring the Observatory include the Steve Martin’s Hollywood satire Bowfinger, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, the spoofy 1987 film Dragnet with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd.

If you are adventurous and do not mind lot’s of driving, there are many famous filming locations scattered all over southern California. These are houses, stores and malls like the Puente Hills Mall 1600 Azusa Ave., City of Industry, California where in 1985, Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean “time machine” invented by slightly mad scientist Christopher Lloyd.

Some locations can be found on the internet. Some are no longer there but are born again, like the ruins of a demolished steel plant at Fontana, on the outskirts of San Bernardino Route 10 east of Los Angeles where scenes from the Terminator, and future resistance hero John Connor were filmed, is now the California Speedway. Here you can see where Lindsay Lohan made the movie Herbie Fully Loaded and raced the Volkswagen bug with a mind of its own on this racetrack.Not far away in the Lake Arrowhead area is where Lindsay made her first Movie The Parent Trap. You can drive around the lake ( Lake Gregory not Arrowhead ) and discover many scenes from the movie.

North of Los Angeles on highway 14 is an area called Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park. Hundreds of films and commercials are made in this area since they started making movies, including Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the ‘Vulcan’ planet: Vasquez Rocks has been used in hundreds of Westerns and sci-fi movies. The Flintstones, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles, and too many others to name. It is off the beaten path in the middle of the desert but well worth seeing. The entire village of the Flintstones was built here and was open to the public for a while. Just remember that it is a park and after filming is done, the sets are taken away but those crazy rocks are interesting. Take pictures and compare them with movies you see later.

While you are in the area, you must visit The Shambala Preserve for movie and other animals not far away at 6867 Soledad Canyon in Acton. It was started by actress and conservationist Tippi Hedren who is the beautiful blonde in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (And 67 other movies). Mr. Hitchcock said once “Tippi Hedren is really remarkable”. He did not know how right he was even if it was for different reasons. Tippi has devoted much time and effort to charitable causes. Trust me, you will have a great time and be sure to leave Tippi a little donation to help feed those big kitties.

If you plan a trip in October and you do not mind a drive through the desert, you may want to visit The Lone Pine Film Festival. It is held every year in October. This year the dates are October 6th. 7th. & 8th. Taking place in and around the town of Lone Pine California, where filming has continued every year since 1920. Actors and stunt men show up unannounced every year. The area is for sure Hollywood’s favorite movie location for 85 years. Nearly 400 feature films have shot scenes here. It is a huge wilderness area in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. During the festival, they put up hundreds of little stands with movie photographs on them in the exact spot where they filmed the scene. One of my favorites is the big rocks where Richard Boone held Randolph Scott prisoner in The Tall T. This is where John Wayne made many westerns and in fact, his last public appearance was here in the Great Western Savings commercials.

You never know who may show up at this event. Sometimes actors are filming in the area and just show up. I turned to see why my wife was taking pictures and saw Fred Dryer and Hugh O’Bryan standing beside me. You should see the photo she took of Robert Blake. Because it is not overcrowded, it is easy to talk to someone famous. I have stood on a street corner and talked with Gregory Peck and John Mitchum without anyone bothering us. I talked to Robert Blake and saw him and Dale Evans (Yes Dale Evans) sitting at the same table. I don’t think she cared for his language but she didn’t say so. She told us stories about her and Roy making movies in Lone Pine. Blake complained about how awful it was being a child star but he also told some funny stories.

East of Los Angeles near Palm Springs is an old historic western town called Pioneertown. Gene Autry and Roy Rogers built the place to make western movies. The old western-style saloons and storefronts that once were props for movie cowboys were in danger with the brush fires this year but the firefighters saved them. Their still using the town for movies and the last time I checked it was open to the public. It’s in the high desert near Palm Springs.

Since we are near Palm Springs guess what? Even the streets here are named after movie stars. My son and I once sat on a golf course out here asking silly questions to stars as they played golf. I thought it was funny when he asked Don Knots “Who’s Don Knots”?

P.S. Don’t forget to research places and events. In the case of most Film Festivals, it’s difficult to get a hotel unless booked months in advance. We used to stay a few miles away in Big Pine. Check my website http://www.TravelNetMall.com and get ready for the best Vacation Ever!

Terry Parker asked:


The first movies were nothing more than silent, short reels of film, usually depicting ordinary people performing everyday tasks. It was not long, however, before filmmakers began experimenting with elements of plot and characterization, and soon, themed movies were being made.

While many genres and sub genres exist, there are a few basic, or main movie genres that most films fall into. These include, but are not limited to, action, adventure, comedy, crime or gangster films, epics or historical films, dramas, horror, musicals, science fiction, war films, and westerns.

Westerns are considered to be the defining American film genre, and were among some of the first popular types of movies. Westerns are defined by classic plot elements such as horses, small towns, cowboys, Indians, outlaws, bank robberies, etc. Westerns have fallen in and out of popularity over the decades and have been redefined and modified as well, but the basic premises and plots have remained the same.

Comedies, like westerns were among the first types of films to gain popularity with movie audiences. Early vaudeville stage acts, and the slapstick comedy styles popularized in silent films paved the way for lighthearted, amusing, plots exaggerating situations, relationships, characters. Over time, comedic subgenres, including romantic comedies, black comedies, spoofs, and others, were developed.

Physical stunts, rescues, battles, natural disasters, destruction, and fast-paced plots characterize action movies. Characters in these films are often two dimensional heroes or villains. These types of movies are sometimes sub categorized into disaster film, martial arts film, and other specialized distinctions.

Adventure films contain elements of both the action and the fantasy movie genres, and are often set in exotic locations. The plots of these types of films frequently revolve around searches for lost treasures or for the unknown, and the genre encompasses pirate or swashbuckling films and some historical epics.

Crime films, including the popular gangster film subcategory, revolve around the actions of criminals, the most popular being bank robbers, thieves and murderers. The film noir sub genre comes under this category, as does the serial killer film classification.

Movie genre categories may be broad, but sub categorical distinctions can become very specific. The more that one knows about the different movie genres, the easier it becomes to identify different plot elements, settings, and characterization traits of favorite films.

Movie audiences expect different things from comedies than they do from adventure movies, westerns, or horror movies, and for good reason. Learning more about genre classifications can help make the experience of watching your favorite films even better.

adventure sports club for young people from Glasgow and the West of Scotland who have Down’s Syndrome

With relentless pressure from rival online dating sites and a forecast predicting a slow down in market growth, the big online dating sites in the U.S look to fertile markets such as China and India. Revenues earned by the big four online dating companies in the U.S have averaged around 650 million dollars over the past three years indicating a slow down in growth for the online dating industry in the U.S.

China and India have a combined population of nearly 3 billion people. So on the surface it would appear as though these countries would be an ideal market for U.S online dating companies to target. Whilst these countries have massive populations, around 80% of their citizens are poverty stricken farmers, and would be the least likely folk to be shelling out for an online dating subscription.

Certainly there are already singles sites on the internet targeting these markets and are set up and run by local people who understand their respective cultures and don’t have translation issues to deal with comparable to what their American rivals will face. International singles match making presents hurdles for foreign businesses. Differing societal attitudes, cunning rivalry and cultural quirks will dumbfound the most sophisticated professional. It is true that love takes on a different set of meanings depending on which part of the world you belong to.

One thing for certain is that romance and love is extremely remunerative and has proven to be virtually recession-proof. Transforming operations to suit such differing market places is worth the initial headaches that will be endured adapting to the new cultural conditions. The Chinese and Indian markets are set to take on a completely new look to how westerners utilize online dating sites . Parents of young singles play a pivotal role in matchmaking with regards to arranged marriages. An initial introduction between a man and a women is likely to begin with the parents attending. The parents will later consult to determine if their children will make a suitable husband and wife.

Modern times and the gradual integration of Chinese society into western culture will provide the big U.S dating companies with a mixed variety of clientele forcing them to have functionality available on their websites that allows for arranged marriages and for a more liberal match making service akin to what they are currently accustomed to. The push into the Asian markets is seen by analysts as a long term strategic move to sure up future commercial growth.
