To watch in HQ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKReV12F_08&fmt=18 The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival has been held since 1963. It had been interrupted for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution until it was resumed in 1985. Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province of People's Republic of China, is one of the sources of ice and snow culture in the world. Geographically, it is located in Northeast China under the direct influence of the cold winter wind from Siberia. The average temperature in summer is 21.2 degrees Celsius, -16.8 degrees Celsius in winter. It can be as cold as - 38.1 degrees Celsius in winter. Officially, the festival starts from January 5th and it lasts one month. However often the exhibitions open earlier and last longer, weather permitting. Ice sculpture decoration ranges from the modern technology of lasers to traditional ice lanterns. There are ice lantern park touring activities held in many parks in the city. Winter activities in the festival include Yabuli alpine skiing, winter-swimming in Songhua River, and the ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden. Snow carving and ice and snow recreations are world famous. The Harbin festival is one of the world's four largest ice and snow festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival, and Norway's Ski Festival. The 2007 festival featured the Canadian theme, in memoriam of Canadian doctor Norman Bethune. It also a Guinness Record of the largest snow sculpture: 250 metres long, 28 feet (8.5 m) high, using over 13,000 cubic metres of snow. The composition consisted of two parts: "Niagara Falls" and "Crossing the Bering Strait" (the latter depicting the migration of the First Nations).

http://es.video.yahoo.com/watch/2393413?fr=yvmtf madame sarkozy A Quebec comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state has reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice-presidential nominee she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy In the roughly six-minute telephone interview released Saturday, Palin and the pranksters known as the Masked Avengers discuss politics, pundits, and the perils of hunting with Vice-President Dick Cheney We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you," Palin is heard to gush to comedian Marc-Antoine Audette, masquerading as Sarkozy Palin doesn't seem to realize she's being tricked until Audette tells her at the end of the interview Oh, have we been pranked?" she says. Seconds later, Palin's aide can be heard before the line goes dead Throughout the conversation, Audette drops plenty of clues that something's amiss He identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada's prime minister and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier John McCain shocked the nation when he announced little-known Sarah Palin, the first female governor of Alaska and former beauty queen, would be his vice presidential running mate Palin's burst onto the national political scene energized the Republican base and she quickly became known as a feisty "hockey mom" who throughout her short political life was known as a reformer not afraid to take on the good old boys of politics But what started with a bang quickly turned into an uphill climb for the McCain-Palin ticket as a rigorous vetting process by the media revealed ongoing ethics investigations in her home state. An interview series with Katie Couric of CBS News left Democrats and even Republican critics worried that Palin, 44, wasn't experienced enough to be vice president Palin graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987 with a degree in communications-journalism. She briefly worked as a sports reporter in 1988 Before her gubernatorial election in 2006, Palin sat on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council from 1992 to 1996 and served two terms - from 1996 to 2002 - as mayor of the small town. She chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003 and 2004 As governor, she helped pass an ethics reform bill, balanced the state's $6.6 billion budget and signed a bill that pushed forward plans to build a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the continental U.S She supports smaller government, opposes abortion and same-sex marriage, and wants more domestic oil exploration and drilling Born in Idaho, Palin moved with her parents to Alaska as a baby. She enjoyed sports growing up and remains an avid hunter, fisher and lifetime member of the National Rifle Palin met her husband, Todd, in high school. They have five children: Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig Duties: Assumes the office of president if the job is vacated; assumes duties of the office if the president is unable to exercise them; serves as president of the Senate but only has a vote in the event of a tie SARAH PALIN has barnstormed through central Florida, telling supporters at three rallies that her Republican running mate John McCain is the one man in the presidential race who can fix the nation's economy The choice could not be clearer," the vice presidential nominee told thousands of people gathered at a high school baseball field Only John McCain has the experience and the wisdom to get our economy back on track He has a pro-private sector, pro-growth plan that will put government back on your side Arriving for a last-minute rally ahead of Tuesday's election, the Alaska governor told more than 5,000 wildly cheering supporters in the Exposition Center at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, N.C., that Sen. John McCain would lead the country to victory in Iraq and revitalize the economy Well also keep our defining commitments to our senior citizens. Barack Obama goes around promising a new kind of politics, but then he comes here to Florida and he tries to exploit the fears and the worries about Social Security and Medicare to our retirees and that is the oldest and cheapest kind of politics there is. Palin said, And enough is enough of that. John McCain and I are committed to protecting and preserving Social Security and we will not cut a single Medicare benefit. And we are committed to controlling the costs of health care She said her running mate is always truthful with senior citizens and warned her supporters that Barack Obama wants the federal government to take over the health care system Now Barack Obama wants to have government take over health care, and does anyone serious believe, does anyone believe thats going to make things cheaper? No. Florida, John McCain is a man who has always kept faith with America and he will always keep faith with Americas senior citizens. I promise you that, madame butterfly
