	Sampo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Finnish mythology, the Sampo was a magical artifact that brought good fortune to its holder; nobody knows exactly what it was supposed to be.
		In the expanded second version of the poem, the Sampo is forged by Ilmarinen, a legendary smith, as a task set by the Mistress of Pohjola in return for her daughter's hand.
		The Sampo has been interpreted in many ways: a world pillar or tree, a compass or astrolabe, a chest containing a treasure, or a mint stolen by Vikings from Constantinople as the poet Paavo Haavikko has suggested.

	Sampo PME42S6 Plasma TV Review courtesy of AVguide's Web Exclusive Section (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This forces downconversion to happen in the Zenith (rather than in the Sampo) since most broadcast stations are sending out 1080i (whether their source is actually 1080i HD or not) and 480p is the highest resolution the Sampo supports via DVI.
		Then, the Sampo’s scaler, which isn’t all that good, does the downconversion plus there are numerous circuits in the chain just waiting to screw up the picture that with DVI simply wouldn’t come into play.
		This was the most impressive showing the Sampo made during the entire test, and while I’m not usually enthusiastic about using plasma sets for home theater, I couldn’t help getting unexpectedly involved in a movie or two with this combination.

		In a cycle of songs, referred to by scholars as the sampo-epic, the sampo is forged by the creator-smith Ilmarinen for Louhi, the hag-goddess of the underworld, and is then stolen back by Ilmarinen and the shaman-hero Väinämöinen.
		The name sampo may even be a cognate of words such as Sanskrit skambha, “pillar,” and Altaic sumbur, the “world mountain.” As the mythical axis mundi, around which the heavens revolve, all life is dependent on the sampo, which the Finnish songs depict as the source of all good.

		The Sampo is to be Ilmarinen's bride-price for the Maiden of Pohjola, a gloomy land in the far north.
		The Sampo's three roots are similar to the three roots of Yggdrasill, the Scandinavian World Tree, and its three parts are a further reflection of an archaic tripartite division of the cosmos.
		It is destroyed when it is moved to a different location and the focus of fertility and plenty becomes shifted to a different region; but for the moment it is important to note that its power is focussed in the sea, albeit in a fragmentary form.

	Sampo DVE-611 DVD Player Reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		The first thing I noticed was that the video output level from the Sampo was driving the TV harder than the Kenwood, resulting in whites being rather too hot and bleeding into surrounding areas, and color being a bit too vivid.
		It looked very much as if the Sampo was sensing widescreen on this DVD automatically, which was a surprise, but it did not do it on all discs.
		The Sampo played CD, CD-R and CD-R/W as advertised (CD-R is the difficult one here, as it ideally needs a different laser pickup, which the Sampo has).

		The witch/goddess/norns at the base of the cosmic tree are equivalent to the Finnish Louhi, the turner of the milling stone and keeper of the Sampo.
		The Theft of the Sampo, on one level of interpretation, involves the removal of the polar axis to another location, thus implying precession or perhaps even a pole shift.
		The Kaleva heroes succeed in snatching the Sampo, and they sail away with it, but Louhi wakes up, pursues them, and the Sampo is smashed to pieces in the ocean, its magic thus being spread out for all humanity to benefit from.
