Curries come from various Asian countries including India, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Curries differ greatly in their taste and content, not only between countries but also within countries. For example, the curries of India are different than those of Malaysia and Indonesia and in India the curry cuisine in the north is not the same as that in southern India.

In addition there is the chef factor. No two cooks make identical meals. Every good cook has his or her own special style and adds that individual touch to a meal.

Essentially a curry is a spicy recipe but the way the types of spices and herbs are used differs considerably from country to country.

And not all curries are hot. In fact there are more mild curry recipes than hot ones and these are designed to give a cleverly balanced blend of the various spices and herbs used, some of which have delicate and highly sophisticated tastes.

In Indian cooking, for example, this contrast is demonstrated in the difference between the hot vindaloo and Madras curries and the mild kormas.

Generally speaking, commonly used base spices and herbs include coriander, cumin, cardamom and tumeric, especially in India.

Indian curry powders are famous throughout the world. Some famous brands are Eastern curry powder (http://easterncurrypowder.com), Honee spices etc.

Depending on the recipe involved, other items can include things like chilli, curry leaves, garlic, ginger, garam masala, onions, lemon grass, cinnamon and pepper and mustard seeds.

In Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian curries a regular flavouring ingredient is shrimp paste and coconut or coconut milk is used consistently. Curries in these countries can also be hot or mild and due to the coconut content are often sweet tasting. In Thai cooking lime leaves and basil leaves are often used in curries which gives them a distinctive taste.

In Sri Lanka (Ceylon) spices are dark roasted which gives them a different flavour than Indian curries and meat items like chicken are skinned before cooking which also effects the flavour of a curry.

In Myanmnar (Burma) curries are based on garlic, ginger, onions and chillies and are generally watery and delicately flavoured.

Some curry recipes in Asian countries date back several hundred years and many of the meals we today take for granted were once the sole reserve of royalty and the rich.

An important point about curries - and most other Asian meals - is their health giving properties.

Many of the spice and herb ingredients used provide exciting and satisying tastes but they also have long established health and medicinal values. This is additional to the vitamins and protein provided by the meals.

Added to this are the health benefits of the fresh vegetables that are usually included in curries.

For easy and quick preparation, there are now many and varied curry powders and ready-made curry sauces and pastes available but nothing can beat the taste of a curry prepared with fresh herbs and spices.

Finding a curry to suit your palate is a matter of trial and error. Unless you are accustomed to hot spicy food it is best to start with mild curries. Once you find a recipe you like you may soon join the millions of curry addicts around the world.

A disadvantage of electronic media is that even though our ways of communication have improved greatly, we've lost a great deal of depth in our communication. We are losing person to person relationships with each other and self-understanding that came from normal communication.

It is my personal experience that nothing is impossible. However, I have to say that the odds are stacked against you. It would take a great deal of determination and very dedicated and consistent hardwork - and that is assuming you already have a coach that is capable of coaching at the elite level. I coached an 11 year old level 6 who came from another gym. Up to that point she hadn't accomplished anything in particular. She hadn't won a state championship nor had she been singled out as a candidate for advanced gymnastics training by her previous coaches, with the exception of a good friend of mine who sent her to my gym. As it turned out, she also had less of a chance than most at that point, but I never said it was impossible. I outlined what it would take in order for her to reach the elite level and have a chance at making the Olympic team. While she was with me for the next 18 months she won the beam title at Level 6 state and placed 2nd all around to her teammate. She then began training level 8 and won the AA, bars and floor at states and placed 2nd AA and won bars at regionals. She immediately began working towards Level 10 after regionals. I was injured and couldn't complete her training so she went to a good friend of mine's gym and made it to Level 10 nationals that year and then qualified as an elite and finally made the national team. Ultimately she became the alternate for the Olympic team and reached the goal she set for herself while a level 6 at my gym. It is important to note that while she was still a level 6 gymnast, her future Olympic teammates were already training at the elite level. So the point is that so long as you have the physical ability, the willingness to do whatever it takes, the necessary elite-level coaching and adequate family and financial support I wouldn't rule it out. It would take a monumental effort however and that is something you will have to decide for yourself - and very soon. Good luck.

I think womens roles in film are a lot better than 10,20,30+ years ago. They are coming into a world of their own-even portraying the lead e.g/ Tomb Raider. I cannot bare to see women play the 'damsel in distress' type roles which often means missing out on some apparently good 'black and white' films. I think it is partly from being brought up in world pro-women, which is very different from back then, when women roles were strictly domestic.

I suppose that is the main difference, being that film mirrors reality, so as cultural values change they are reflected in modern films, especially western made ones.

Women have things to say, their characters are no longer two dimentional and there's no segregation [by this im meaning women can be portrayed in more than one role and are no longer sterotyped as being mothers and wives. To see this all you need look at is Angelina Jolie's or Julia Roberts careers and their roles.

Sure Katherine Hepburn was a great actress in her hey day, but there wasn't many roles for her. Could you imagine the roles she'd have now????
