We love Enio Morricone! As music appreciators, we know that this piece is hard to come by in most countries. Morricone wrote Chi Mai in 1971. We respect him for his great accomplishment and tried to re-create this wonderful piece! We got the sheet music from an antique store in Massachusetts, Usa. Here is our final result! Enjoy! 
Ron Mueck is a “hype-realistic” sculptor that has created some of the finest pieces of sculpture in our time. He has implemented techniques that are absolutely unheard of! Yes, he uses actual human hair in his creations but, aside from that, he does everything using fiberglass and rubber (polymerized). Here at theorderoftheironphoenix.com, we really appreciate art! In fact sculpture is a sort of passion of ours. Surprising, we never heard of Mueck until recently! His work stunned us (in a good way). We were so intrigued by this sculptor that we created a video in his honorable commemoration. Enjoy! We really just want to share with his greatness with our audience. The following video is indeed just a compilation of some of his work (there are a few pieces that are not his, see comments below).
Yesterday, Yamaha has unveiled a brand new invention: a keyboard that can sing in human! You basically use one hand to type in what you want the keyboard to say, and the other hand to play it at the desired pitch. Why is this so extraordinary? Well simply because this will result in a new revolution in the music industry! As you may remember, only 30 years ago, you would need a band to perform a simple piece of music. Then, the keyboard was invented (the minimoog), which made one instrument able to synthesize the sounds of other instruments. This in turn increased the popularity of the piano as opposed to any other instrument (save the resurgence of the guitar in the 20th century). This killed a few instrument altogether such as windpipes , bagpipes and accordions. Although these instruments are stunningly beautiful, they where far too complicated for the modern man to learn, the synthesizer on the other hand was as easy to learn as a piano. Now, if the synthesizer could render these instruments pretty much useless, what could yamaha’s new invention do to our future? Could it signal the end of singing as a career? With everything moving towards technology these days, nothing is surprising.
Only 2 years ago this was as advanced as it could get:
And this here is Yamaha’s new invention:
An unmanned pirate bay drone
As of last week, the leading torrent site “thepiratebay.com” has announced a grand plan: taking it’s servers into the air and over international waters. As you may know, megaupload.com has been closed down by the government due to it’s excessive violation of copyrighted information (movies, music programs etc).Well, the next website that seems to be in such a predicament is thepiratebaycom. Why? Because the pirate bay has been hosting files for illegal content much in the same way that megaupload has (for almost a decade). Now, that the government has finally begun cracking down on copyright infringements, thepiratebay.com seems worried. The leaders and developers of thepiratebay.com have already served prison sentences and have paid fines for their illegal activities. Naturally, they though about the whole “freedom of the sea” agreement created after world war one. The end result was simple: since the pirate bay is a multi BILLION dollar website, they can afford unmanned drones (which by the way have been developed by various non-military companies in the US for 7 years) . What will they do with the unmanned drones? Why thepiratebay.com will simply attach their servers to the drones and let them hover over international waters! This would put them out of the jurisdiction of any country and would basically make them legal forms of getting illegal content. It does sound absurd, but the supposed “solar powered” drone is being developed as we speak. This can truly be called “the ultimate loophole” in the modern world. After all, how can it be illegal to perform illegal data transfers in international waters?Where no country has jurisdiction? Who could do anything about it? The simple answer is NOBODY. This would also make the shadow business of software, music and video piracy very legal on thepiratebay.com’s side!

Jason Russell ,age 33, has been arrested yesterday for jacking off in public. So much for his pure ways. Yes, he seems like such a fantastic speaker, then he does something like this. What a disappointment. We can all rest assured now that the whole thing could be a scam. After all, why would you need a donation of 30$ for a bracelet? Rest assured world, we will never look at this guy the same way! We will continue to update this as Jason goes on trial etc.

It may come as an absolute absurdity, the fact that the biblically prophesied Armageddon could happen. And is it strange thinking that it could last a few hours and not affect us at all? Well, if you scientifically analyze the details of the event, you will notice that the battle will take place in the mountains of the Sinai peninsula.Where is that you may ask? Well, all the way in Israel! Why would It worry anyone in the U.S.? It should not!. Now , carefully analyze the fact that Israel has nuclear weapons. The bible states the end of the world will end in a sea of fire. Analyze an atomic explosion carefully. We do have images of these that have recently been declassified by our government. Now, If you look at the picture above this post, ^ You will see it resembles an atomic explosion. So who are the combatants in the last battle that should take place in “the holy land”? Well, Iran is a good country to point a finger at! Why? Because they also have nuclear weapons, they hate Israel, and Israel hates them. So now you see, with a bit of thinking we can figure this all out! And this gives me reason to believe that this must be stopped at all costs! But, If the bible and destiny hold true, nothing can change this destiny. So, stay ever so vigilant, and if you can, vote yes to worldwide nuclear disarmament!
We will be the first people this year to give you the lowdown of the greatest gaming laptops of the year! We have rigorously tested three primary creators for this trial. We have excluded asus after confirming hardware failure in their “republic of gamers” laptops. Out of the remaining three, we found dell and toshiba both shone in the department of gaming laptops! So, we decided to numerically put down the 5 best laptops so you know what to expect!
#5) Toshiba Qosmio X775-Q7384 17.3-Inch Gaming Laptop – Fusion X2 Finish in Red Horizon
The Toshiba Qosmio series is absolutely amazing. We have where actually very surprised at the fact that something with an nvidia dual hybrid 1.5gb graphics card (capable of adding more memory to the gpu through the ram-up to 6 gigs more-) cost so little. The pricetag is significantly under 2000$, in fact if you order it from the link above ^, you will save 200$ off the market value, and we can all smile at that. This laptop is truly wonderful, It can handle skyrim on max graphics, battlefield 3 and modern warfare 3. We ran a series of tests on top settings, the lowest fps was skyrim at whopping 60! This is amazing by desktop standards! This laptop also has a huge advantage over its 3d capable counterparts: a lengthy battery life!. The minimum battery life on this thing is an outstanding 5 hours. This is an improvement over the 3d versions’ 2 hours. By gaming laptop standards, this is AMAZING. The 17.3 inch screen plays anything you throw at it with it’s beautiful hd display! The 8 gigabytes of ram can be upgraded to 16 for 400$ (not that its in any way necessary). Overall, this laptop works like a server, Its tiny and capable of doing any task you could think of. . Its affordable, stunningly beautiful, has a full on keyboard, and is VERY user friendly! We also love the blueray reader, the 1 tb (2x500gb sata) of disk space and the hdmi interface! So how does it stack up?
Processor: 5/5 (3.1 ghz 6mb cache)
Memory: 4/5 (the default configuration is great ,but we would have preferred 16 gigabytes)
Disk space: 5/5 (1tb is more than enough, even if you use one disk solely for backup)
Keyboard: 5/5* (this is one feature that toshiba does better than anyone else, the keyboard is better than most usb keyboards and the red backlight is stunning)
Graphics card: 3/5 (again, 1.5gb is awesome, it can be expanded at the cost of ram , but some higher end gaming laptops max out at 3gb so we can only give it a 3/5)
Overall: 4.5/5.0 This thing is truly the best laptop you can get for the least amount of money spent. Nothing in this price range can even compare.
#4) Alienware M17X 17.3″ Black Laptop
We want to start off by saying, the only reason why this one made it on our list is because of it’s looks. The default boasts a Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.4GHz processor. The i7 is capable of reaching 3.2ghz at the cost of battery length. The graphics card is on par with any other alienware series , the ram is preset at 8gbs and is expandable to 24, the resolution and processing speed are also noteworthy. Furthermore the exterior design is divine. The keyboard back-light, the frontal light, the side lights and all the other flashy lighting makes this alienware truly look like a ufo. Its spectacular! You will be the envy of any crowd if you bring this baby along, and the keyboard is truly gorgeous, even by qosmio standards. The audio is grand! We where disappointing by the lack of anything blueray. Aside from that, it boasts an sd card reader, 3 usb ports and the power to take on any task that lay ahead. It only has one 750gb disk by default, but that can be doubled with 100$. Altogether, its really great, has a better battery length than the qosmio, and supports an array of power saving options and utilities to go up to 9 hours+ We truly think this one is a keeper, with a default of 2400$ (us), if you use the link above, you can get yours for only 1,500$(US). ^
Processor: 2.8ghz by default, minimum 2.0. comfortable at 3.2 , we give that a 5/5 because some processors can be maxed out to even higher numbers. But, since its a quad core processor we cant give it below a 4.
Memory: 4/5 Starts at 8gb, can go to 24 for about 500$
Disk space: 5/5 1x750GB Who needs more than that? Honestly?
Keyboard: 5/5 We loved every aspect of it, but it lacked some of the lovely features the qosmio does.
Graphics card: 3/5 Again, you can spare ram to get this higher, but we would like something higher by default.
Overall: 4.5/5 with a 17.3 inch screen and such stunning light-work, this thing is a piece of artwork! We love it!
#3) MSI G Series GT780DXR-446US (17.3-Inch Screen) Laptop
The MSI G Series GT780DXR-446US may ot be the prettiest thing in the world, but it does its job! This thing comes with a whopping 2.2ghz (can reach3.1)processor, 16gb of ram and 3gb of graphics, which can be increased by compensating ram. For the love of god, if you are looking for a gaming rig that will replace your desktop, will run anything for the next 5 years, and is under 2000$, GET THIS LAPTOP! With 1.5 tb of disk space at a whopping 7200 rpm, you can literally use this laptop like a server. The cooling effect generated by the design on this laptop is godly. It will stay cool regardless of how much processor, ram and gpu you waste. Anything will run on ultra. On top of all that, the screen is a whopping 17.3 inches like the laptops above it, It has a backlit keyboard, a wonderful mouse that can have the sensitivity adjusted. The speaker system is phenomenal, we literally recommend this laptop to anyone from the bottom of our hearts! The only reason this one wont make it to #1 is because the screen is a bit aged, the 7 usb ports on this thing only have 1 usb 3.0 port, and in general, its not a pretty thing to look at. Not that the sole purpose of a gaming laptop is to attract babes.
Processor: 4.5/5 By default its pretty mediocre, if you manually overclock it, it becomes significantly better.
Disk space: 5/5 When in the sweet hell tarnation can you possibly use up 1500gb of memory? Honestly? This thing is a server!
Keyboard: 3.5/5 The keyboard is a little dull, the locks keys don’t light up, and you have to have a program running to have all the keys to work. We really would have preferred something like the Qosmio’s keyboard, even at the cost of back-lighting.
Graphics card: 5/5 ugh, can you find a better one in a laptop on the market ? Seriously the card alone should cost 1,000$.
Overall: 4.65/5 This thing is a SERVER! We seriously want you to consider this monster, the only reason that it is not widely used is because toshiba and dell have monopolized the gaming laptop marketplace! Buy it off amazon to save 1000$!
Why the hell would you waste 139$ to refurbish your xbox when you can fix it yourself for less than 20$?
Im about to give you a lesson in common sense, did you know that when you ship your xbox360 to microsoft to get it “fixed” they actually send you a refurbished xbox360 that some other person (like yourself) has sent in and they have “repaired”. Now tell me, is that worth 139$? Your basically buying a defective pos that costs 1/2 the price of a brand new one. Refurbished doesn’t mean it sucks, it just means it had problems before, heck this one might be perfect for all I know, but, would you like to know a little secret 
You can actually “refurbish” your xbox360 yourself, quickly and accurately. Whats the best part about doing it yourself? ITS FREE! In fact the red ring of death and other such tomfoolery has made microsoft a few million dollars richer. Usually a simple tweek with a household utensil will about fix any problem you experience. And, could make your xbox better than even the best refurbished one.
