Original Finnish
Finland is not a country which may necessarily first come to mind when you are planning to take a holiday or vacation abroad. Finland though is a thoroughly fun and interesting country to visit and below we look at some reasons why and some facts about Finland.
1. Finland invented the Sauna and it is said that over 60 per cent of people have a sauna in their home. Finns take great pleasure in their invention of the sauna and sauna is something taken seriously as a pastime.
2. Finland also seems to produce a very high percentage of racing drivers. Many top rally drivers are often Finns and Formula 1 has also produced a number of well-known Finnish drivers. In recent years, Salo, Raikkonen and Kovalainen are just a few names.
3. In summer time for a few weeks, it barely gets dark. In the peak of summer you can literally read a newspaper at 3am as the skies trun only faintly dark.
4. Lapland is in the far Northern part of Finland and Lapland is well-known for Father Christmas. In this part of Finland it also stays very dark for several months in the winter time. It stays dark almost twenty four hours a day and sun worhsippers would find it a hard and tough lace to live.
5. Finland was the first country in the world to allow all women to vote. New Zealand was first to allow women to vote but they did not allow Maori women to vote and thus Finland was the first to allow all women to vote.
6. The Finnish language really is quite unique and like no other language in the world. Learning Finnish for non Finns is not easy and has its own rules and style.
7. Finland is perfectly located for visiting several other countries if you are looking to do a tour. As well as a city such as Helsinki, you can easily from there travel to places such as Stockholm (Sweden), Tallinn (Estonia) and St-Petersburg (Russia). Helsinki really can act as a great central location for visiting this part of the world.
8. Vodka is very popular in Finland and popular with both men and women. From my own experience, the women seemed to be able to almost drink as much of it as the men.
9. If you plan to visit Finland in the winter time, do pack and dress fro very cold weather. It can easily be sub-zero in the main winter months and you should dress accordingly.
10. The summer can also be very nice and in a good summer you should certainly be able to get some sun-bathing in and be able to enjoy the parks and the countryside.

Is my Language Arts teacher crazy?
She expects us to:
-Compare/contrast 2 fairytales in a neatly printed chart w/specific guidelines
-Start, edit, revise, finnish, and publish a fairytale with a cover and original illustrations, and maybe pop-ups textiles, etc. This must be as long as a true littel kid fairytale.
-All of this must be completed in 8 days!!! Plus Firday I will have another lab to complete over the weekend!
Yes, I think your language arts teacher is crazy, but not for the reasons you probably do. I look at the assignment and ask myself what, exactly, you are going to learn from it. Your time spent in making drawings, making charts, and making a cover would be better spent learning something about communicating. Writing the fairy tale itself could be fun, since real fairy tales are full of frightening creatures and events. But all the fancy art work, pop ups, and so on, are just a waste of your time. Your teacher has been trained in a modern "education" school, and has been brainwashed with the idea that simple assignments which call for standard, "reading, writing, and arithmetic" are automatically behind the times and not useful. Too bad for you. But the advice to get moving and do your best still applies. Maybe when you get into college, you will run into some teachers who know the difference between useful assignments and hogwash, and you'll really start to get something for the time you have to put in.

Nordic Ware Scandinavian Silver Dollar Pancake Pan

Russians use buckwheat and yeast, call theirs blini, and serve them with sour cream and caviar with smoked salmon. (These recipes are included with the pan.) Making either in perfect little disks requires the proper pan. Safe on gas or electric stovetops, this o... |

Night On Earth: Original Soundtrack Recording
$14.41 Released in 1992, Waits's soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's quirky Night on Earth is built around a recurrent theme reminiscent of Rain Dogs and manipulated into moods that reflect the cities in which the movie's various stories are told. Banjo and accordion are used to great effect to evoke the three European cities. Elsewhere, marimba and other percussion that Tom Waits was using on his "official" re... |

Charlie's Angels [VHS]
$0.74 For every TV-into-movie success like The Fugitive, there are dozens of uninspired films like The Mod Squad. Happily--and surprisingly--this breezy update of the seminal '70s jiggle show falls into the first category, with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore (who also produced), and Lucy Liu starring as the hair-tossing, fashion-setting, kung fu-fighting trio employed by the mysterious Charlie (voiced by... |

L.A. Confidential [Blu-ray]
$13.49 In a time when it seems that every other movie makes some claim to being a film noir, L.A. Confidential is the real thing--a gritty, sordid tale of sex, scandal, betrayal, and corruption of all sorts (police, political, press--and, of course, very personal) in 1940s Hollywood. The Oscar-winning screenplay is actually based on several titles in James Ellroy's series of chronological thriller novels... |

The Wizard of Oz (Three-Disc Emerald Edition) [Blu-ray]
$20.00 When it was released during Hollywood's golden year of 1939, The Wizard of Oz didn't start out as the perennial classic it has since become. The film did respectable business, but it wasn't until its debut on television that this family favorite saw its popularity soar. And while Oz's TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has mad... |
