Saami or SAAMI may refer to:
The Sami people (also Sámi or Saami) are an indigenous Finno-Ugric people inhabiting the Arctic area of Sápmi, which today encompasses parts of far northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Kola Peninsula of Russia, and the border area between south and middle Sweden and Norway. The Sami are the only indigenous people of Scandinavia recognized and protected under the international conventions of indigenous peoples, and are hence the northernmost indigenous people of Europe. Sami ancestral lands span an area of approximately 388,350 km2 (150,000 sq. mi.), which is approximately the size of Norway, in the Nordic countries. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages and are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family.
Traditionally, the Sami have pursued a variety of livelihoods, including coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding. Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding. Currently about 10% of the Sami are connected to reindeer herding, providing them with meat, fur, and transportation. 2,800 Sami people are actively involved in herding on a full-time basis. For traditional, environmental, cultural, and political reasons, reindeer herding is legally reserved only for Sami people in certain regions of the Nordic countries.
The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI, pronounced "Sammy") is an association of American firearms and ammunition manufacturers. SAAMI publishes various industry standards related to the field, including fire code, ammunition and chamber specifications, and acceptable chamber pressure. In the United States, firearms and ammunition specifications are not overseen by the Consumer Product Safety Commission or any other branch of government. Only manufacturers that are members of SAAMI are bound by the Institute's guidelines.
SAAMI was founded in 1926 at the behest of the US government, with a charter to create standards, coordinate technical data, and promote firearms safety. For example, they publish a list of Unsafe Arms and Ammunition Combinations which details situations where a smaller cartridge may fit in a firearms designed for a larger cartridge, but would be unsafe to use. For example a .44 Magnum cartridge will chamber in a .45 Colt firearm but operates at a higher pressure and would be unsafe. SAAMI is an accredited standards developer for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
you don't get to tell your heart how to feel
it does what it wants when it wants to
all that you can do is pray that it lands in the hands of somebody true!
and you don't get to tell your heart where to stay
no it will not obey cause it knows the truth
let's not confuse it! you try to prove it wrong
but the heart has a mind of its own
chorus:
you can't run from the place that you belong
cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
cause the heart has a mind of its own!
can't fight that burning in your chest
you can't fight, feeling such a mess
your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
cause the heart has a mind of its own!
you don't get to fall at the perfect time
for someone love is ending, for someone else is just beginning
someone is gotta cry, someone needs to know why
but the heart tells no lies!
and you don't get to tell your heart when it heels
when it breaks like rock through shatter glass
all you can ask is that the pain moves fast
one day this too, shall last!
by know i hope you know, it has a mind of its own!
chorus:
you can't run from the place that you belong
cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
cause the heart has a mind of its own!
can't fight that burning in your chest
you can't fight, feeling such a mess
your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
cause the heart has a mind of its own!
it's so real, can't you see it?
is the heart that really means it
and the heart won't let you lie,
it won't let love be defeated!
sometimes is inconvenient,
but the real truth is you need it
cause the mind will leave you lonely
chorus:
you can't run from the place that you belong

can't fight that burning in your chest
you can't fight, feeling such a mess
your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
