Finland

He just retired not long ago.

He's been a huge part of the goaltending development program in Finland.

And we wanted to do a story about what they do that helps make their goalies, especially when you consider Pekka Rinne is going to the Hall of Fame with Carey Price this year, what makes their goalie program so good.

So we did a big thing for elite prospects there.

So we did a big thing for elite prospects there.

And then I thought one of the cool things we really did in Helsinki was We sat down with three of the leaders of the Finnish Ice Hockey Players Association.

It was such a fascinating discussion, Mitch.

You know, I told the CEO of Elite Prospects, Artis Andersson, I said, I wish my buddy Mitch Melnick would have been here.

I had some traveling conflicts over in Europe right now.

He's bouncing all over Sweden, Finland, Germany.

I can't keep track right now, but...

I believe he just he might have been in a flight right now.

It is sort of like the Yule Log you mentioned a moment ago.

But this show, produced in Finland, well, it's just positively adorable.

A pile of puppies.

live their lives in front of the cameras, sleeping, eating, just being downright cute with millions of adoring

Instead, TV has gone to the dogs.

Or should we say puppies? is the furry focus of the latest season of Pentulive, or Puppy Live.

These six small pups are some of Finland's biggest TV stars, with a non-stop live stream following every feeding, puppy pile, and ear scratch of their young lives.

So far, at just 16 days old, these Legodo Romaniolos are mostly doing what puppies do best – Sleep.

People will need to be moved into temporary accommodation first of all but that just gets people from the street.

Obviously we've seen during Covid how quickly that can be done when the will is there and there is that cross-governmental communication between all the different partners that are involved and dealing with the housing and homelessness emergency but structurally then if you look to international examples whether you look at Finland and their housing first strategy which basically says a person needs a house first and foremost they don't need to clear a bar to prove how sober they are They don't need to pass some sort of mental health assessment.

We get them housed and then we deal with the other problems.

Or if you look to Austria, where Vienna, they have social housing stock, which is very well maintained.

trees discord and entropy incessant banter's got Jackasses are alive Your insolence now jades our reign on your parade But you won't step outside Small dogs without much bite who stay inside at night and bark behind the door Apologies so weak and frequent that they ring or insist A nation that's so far in base Eradicating moral code Their legacy no more than commonplace

Finland's folk metal heroes Korpiklani kept providing the good times in 2007 with their Terviskento release, the band's fourth in five years.

The beer flowed.

Meanwhile, the Motor City Madman Ted Nugent remained vigilantly on guard for Rugged Independence on his Love Grenade record, the second great release in a row in the 2000s for the Wackmaster.

Death Metal Originator's obituary continued to pummel in 2007, issuing album number seven, Executioner's Return.

Send me to my soul Send me to that filtered land Anchor to my heart Heroes can't diverge into my life In my Send me back in time And light me up to face my gods The sinners feel the heat The bodies thaw and listen to them Cry With them Goodbye.

We returned to Finland there for Amorphous, who continued to crank out albums, Silent Waters being the band's eighth full-length and fourth in the two Ks.

Meanwhile, Greek black metal misanthropist Doddsford released their sophomore Blight on Humanity entitled Cursing Your Will to Live.

England.

Yeah, but I think Poland is further because Norway is in the upper northwestern portion, like with Finland, right?

The North countries? Sweden, Finland.

But as I said, there are no countries.

You're right.

No men allowed.

That idea became Super She Island, an exclusive women-only retreat nestled off the coast of Finland.

The 8.4-acre island features high-end cabins, traditional saunas, and curated wellness experiences, all designed to nurture mind, body, and community.

I find this very interesting because I'm thinking to myself, who built those saunas? Who built the island? Who flew the planes? Who did the physical work? Was it all women? No, it was not.
