There is a neat new site for New Brunswick drivers. The New Brunswick Department of Transportation is pleased to offer the travelling public access to its highway cameras as well as cameras operated by Brun-Way Highways Operations Inc. on the Trans-Canada Highway. These cameras are located next to the highway at specific locations across the province as part of the Department’s
Road Weather Information System. Click on this link
http://www.gnb.ca/0113/cameras/cameras-e.asp, accept the disclaimer, and you will be taken to the cameras all over New Brunswick. (We can imagine homesick New Brunswickers across the country checking in on a regular basis!). It should be a help to many New Brunswickers.

The
Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

ADAPTATION
Saturday January 12, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Riverview Arts Centre Inc, 400 Whitepine Rd (in the high school)
Riverview, NB Ph: 506.852.7189
and at the following locations:Sobeys 535 Coverdale Road, Riverview (cash only)
Jean Coutu 438 Coverdale Road, Riverview
Fusing a comfortable balance of melodic hardcore and pop punk, Adaptation has been rocking the local music scene for the past four years. The Riverview, New Brunswick four-piece debuted their first EP, "So You're Saying There's A Chance" in the summer of 2003, solidifying a loyal local fan base. In February 2006, the band followed up with their second EP, Apart From the Screams which has been a hit, with their independently pressed CDs selling faster than they can be made. Known for their high-energy, guitar flipping stage shows, Adaptation manages to transition from choruses that are catchy as hell (Eric Lewis, Times and Transcript) to heavy, melodic breakdowns without skipping a beat. With the recent addition of drummer Philippe "Flip" LeBlanc to their lineup, the four are more motivated than ever.

Quickly becoming a household name; That Canadian Guy has been a headliner on the Canadian comedy circuit for over twenty years. He has performed on numerous television shows, including his own comedy special and six appearances with CBC's Just for Laughs and Comedy Festival. His topical and timely material on current events and popular culture strikes a chord with Canadians with his hilarious but dead-on portrayal of the conflicted Canadian psyche. Join stand-up comedian Glen Foster (aka That Canadian Guy) and another comic in a tour de farce about current events and popular culture.

Ali isn't really invisible...In fact she used to be part of the most popular group in Grade 5. Then she made a BIG mistake. Now all her best friends ignore her. But Ali realizes she's not the only one who feels this way...
The Invisible Girl is a smart and funny look at our culture's preoccupation with fashion, beauty and popularity. It's about being yourself and standing up for what's right, even if sometimes it's easier to be invisible.
