The new XML support in Word 2003 is one of its most exciting and powerful features. XML is no longer an afterthought; Word has been completely designed around XML from the ground up. It supports a native XML vocabulary called the Word Markup Language (WordML).The major benefit of having your documents in WordML format is that you can process them using any XML API (DOM, SAX, XmlReader, and so forth) on any platform using any programming language.

 Cinema/Literatute:
Last night I was watching "The Pelican brief" from Alan J. Pakula. One of his most famous movies is "All the President's Men", of course he has some other good ones like "The Devil's Own". The interesting thing about the movie was its writer. He is the well-known author, John Grisham. He has an accounting degree from Mississipi state university in 1977 and then became a lawyer, a legislator and a best-selling novellist.
I remember that Nema was (is?) a great fan of his works and had lots of his books in his huge library. This is the official web site of John Grisham.

 Sports:
Are you interested in exercising, reducing weight or body building?
A couple of weeks ago I went to my doctor for controling my f...ing Diabetes. He told me that I have to lose weight and I have to go to a sport club for exercising (outdoor is impossible now with the very cold weather). So, I checked every available club in town. They were damn expensive and I couldn't afford them. Then I found out that there is a club in the hospital too and it is just for those who work or study in here. I thought that it must be one of those clubs with a couple of dambles in a small room, but who cares, lets check that. When I went there I said just WOW! They had a very large hall with lots of machines and dambles and everything, and I with my special stupidity! just ignored that. And the membership price was just like nothing. So, I joined the club and really decided to do some exercises.
Here is a link to a fantastic site with even clips and guides for individual muscle training for body building. One of my firends, E. here just sent me the link.
