 Eisenhorn: Malleus
Author: Dan Abnett
Published year: 2002
Genre: SF
The second installation to Eisenhorn trilogy. A very well written piece. I enjoyed it very much. Hopefully, the third part would be as good as the second.
Loads of action, more complex characters and plot. 4 stars.
So far one of the best tributes to Imperial Guard (Deatj Korps of Krieg, specifically).
 Batbayar.B a.k.a Baabar. He is a well-known savant of Mongolia. People's perception of his articles, books, and short stories varies. Many find him very respectful and scholarly, where as others think of him as an insulting brat. Nevertheless, personally I enjoy reading his articles. So here is one his works that has been posted recently on his website-www.baabar.mn.
Сэтгэл ханамжийн баталгаа
“Сэтгэл ханамжийн баталгаа 100 хувь” гэсэн реклам зурагтын дэлгэцээс сонсогдох болоод нэлээд удаж байна. Энэ бол худалдаж авсан бараа чинь гомдоохгүй, ийм юм авсандаа үргэлж сэтгэл дүүрэн байх болно гэж хэлээд байгаа юм.
Хүн бүрийн бололцоо, таашаал, сонирхол, зан ааш янз бүр байдаг болохоор “сэтгэл ханамжийн батлагаа”-ны хувь процент янз бүр л байдаг байх. Хүний биеийг олж энэ хорвоод ирээд аль нэг улс үндэстэнд хамааран, нийгмийн дотор бие хүн болон оршиж буй 7 тэрбум хүмүүсийн “сэтгэл ханамжийн” төвшин янз бүр байдаг аж. Сүүлийн үед энэ талын судалгааг их хийх болжээ. Хоёр зуу орчим улс орон болон хуваагдсан манай гаригийн иргэдийн амьдралын төвшин, байгалийн нөхцөл, зан заншил, хэл соёл харилцан адилгүй. Харин амьдарч буй нөхцөл байдалдаа хүмүүс аль зэрэг хангалуун байдаг вэ?
Ийм судалгаа хийж үзэхэд маш хачирхалтай нь ядуу орны иргэд илүүтэй амьдралдаа сэтгэл хангалуун жаргалтай байдаг бол баян орны иргэд амьдралаас бага таашаал авдаг, тулгарсан олон зовлон тоочдог, сэтгэл нь дундуур, бухимдуу, өөрөөр хэлбэл дундуур жаргалтай байдаг аж. Ингээд Gross National Happiness буюу Үндэсний сэтгэл ханамжийн илтгэцүүр гэгч хэмжүүр бий болжээ. Үүнийг эдийн засагт их хэрэглэх боловч цаад уг үндэс нь улс төр, эдийн засаг гэхээсээ нийгмийн сэтгэл зүйтэй холбоотой юм. Өөрийн аргачлалтай, нэлээд шинжлэх ухаанжсан индэкс ба тухайн улс үндэстний нийгмийн тогтвортой байдал, хөрөнгө оруулалтын бололцоо гээд эдийн засгийн судалгааны маш их ач холбогдолтой юм гэнэлээ. Дэлхийн хамгийн аз жаргалтай ард түмнээр филиппинчүүд шалгарсан бол швейцаричууд хамгийн зовлон зүдгүүртэй ард түмэн болж тодорчээ. Хачин байгаа биз? Эсвэл тэнэгийн дотор тэнүүхэн гэгчээр санаа зовох юмаар бага байдаг юм болов уу?
I truly believe that our room is a heaven for a fly! Almost every given time there will be one person sleeping, eating, watching, or laying on the bed to be teased and annoyed by a fly. There is no such thing as a food shortage in this room, thus the fly enjoys a variety of dishes everyday. In addition, there are lots of curves, dark little holes and space, where the fly can hide safely from an angry dude (usually me). Yesterday I declared and went to a war against tyranny of a fly! The bloody terrorist still lives as of right now. Secretly mocking me in the corner of an object...I will get you someday, have some fun when you still have some time!!!
A good song of 90s. Hope you will enjoy it once again, take a break and believe in something you love my friends.
 Inception
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, and etc.
Year: 2010
I am giving a BIG 5 star to Inception (9.1 point out of 10). It is absolutely one of the best movies of 2010, and I am really hoping that the movie will get at least a couple of Academy awards (not to mention for how many it will be nominated). Though who knows, those big shots, who decide who wins and who don't, have a different type of brain structure than ordinary viewers like me. As of right now if you haven't seen it yet, then bloody go for it!!! What are you waiting for? An invitation?
There are few things I would like to highlight.
First, the cast. There is a very good level of chemistry among actors and actresses. No doubt. Moreover, our Mr. DiCaprio have done an excellent job in this movie, I believe he is the right type of actor for particularly this role (Cobb). Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Arthur), he is something, I am starting to like him very much (not bromantically). He did a really good job as a sidekick to Cobb. And of course Ellen Page, she is absolutely beautiful in all manner as an actress and as an individual. I always have a faith in Marion Cotillard, and she didn't disappoint me in Inception (big deal!). I believe, she touched me very much by her acting.
Second, the idea. Oh! The idea is big and sci-fi. The movie is about dreams and ideas, and everything happens, logically, in the dreams. I really favored Mr. DiCaprio's line: "The idea is like a virus, very tough and spreads fast." Furthermore, the movie touches the questions like what is dream, what happens if dream becomes the reality, and etc., which are for me very interesting topics to discuss. In addition, my mere English can't actually describe what I have felt during the movie, it was something that I haven't felt for a long time.
Finally, it is a very well made movie with something you can think about later. Also, I would not mind to watch it a couple more times.

Genre: SF, Warhammer 40k
A very good piece of literature. For some it is a waste of time and money, but for me and for those who enjoy reading about Warhammer 40k Universe it is a must have book. Sometimes I ask myself from what does Dan Abnett get his idea about Warhammer 40k World? I guess authors have their own way of inspiration, unlike me mere ordinary reader who only admires someone's work.
Anyways, the book is about an inquisitor who fights for Imperium of Mankind, protects subjects of the Imperium by his will and dedication. Alas, the mission is impossible, work is enldess for one man, thus he has his companions-loyal and fearless.
The book is purely an entertainment. Highly recommended to everyone who likes Warhammer 40k.
