Movie Reviews
Everything you'd ever want in a Muppet movie
Steven Swain | Rocky Mount, VA USA | 08/27/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
""The Great Muppet Caper" is not the definative Muppet film (check out "The Muppet Movie" [1979] for that distinction) but it is a very solid outing from Kermit and the gang. The celebrity performances and cameos (even Jim Henson, Muppet creator, shows up) are well-done, with just enough campiness to make them funny for kids, but just enough restraint to keep it interesting for adults. The bike riding scene in the park is first rate, as is the Esther Williams-style water dancing sequence with Miss Piggy as its star.In short, this British-influened slice of cinema is more sophisticated than the aforementioned "Muppet Movie" and less silly than the subsequent films. It's a great choice. Buy it without hesitation."

Great fun, great laughs, and great muppets
Dave | from Gondor | 04/06/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I've only seen this movie on a recorded-off-TV format, but this is probably one of the funniest movies you can see (at least with Kermit the Frog in the starring role), and certainly the best Muppet movie, as far as I'm concerned.The movie begins with Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo in a balloon, floating high above the city, reading the credits as they roll. ("Kermit? What does B.S.C. stand for?" "I dunno..." and "Nobody really reads these do they?" "Well sure they do. They all have families.")Once the credits finish, the balloon plummets to the street, where the trio introduce the movie with a large song-and-dance number amidst a chaotic street scene, complete with a robbery on set!The rest of the movie is loads of laughs as Kermit and his friends travel to England for their newspaper to interview Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg). Their Muppet entourage grows when the three book their stay at the Happiness Hotel, a run-down England hotel occupied by a crew of lazy Muppets.Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Animal, Dr. Teeth and the whole gang eventually team up to foil Lady Holiday's brother (Charles Grodin) and his three partners in crime from stealing the fabulous Baseball Diamond at the Mallory Gallery. It's pure, hilarious, and classic Muppet mayhem.Kiddos and adults one and all will most likely enjoy this movie, and you don't have to worry about any unclean humor whatsoever.I'm in my late teens and I still laugh at this movie. Definitely worth the money."
The Muppets are the funniest performers in the game!!
email@example.com | Warrensburg, MO | 05/21/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Any movie that features the Muppet gang is going to be great, but the ones produced while Jim was still below the scenes are the best. This movie has so many wonderful moments -- the background nonsense during "Hey, a movie!", Gonzo's demonstration of how to hail a cab, Statler and Waldorf's heckling, the way people can't tell Kermit and Fozzy apart, and a hilarious cameo by Peter Falk...just to name a few. And it even has Charles Grodin before he became a boring late night talk show host. Terrific fun!"

Barielle Cashmere or Loose Me is a nice multi-faceted brown with gold and pink shimmer. It can look chocolatey, a bit purpley, or a medium tan.
This is two coats and an example of its pinky purple tinge.

And the darker chocolatey
Here is a close up of the shimmer. This is pretty much what it looks like in real life. It doesn't show up as well in the pictures. It's a bit subtle, but you can still see it.
Barielle Cashmere or Loose Me is a bit like OPI Barefoot in Barcelona if you like that one, but darker and with shimmer. It's also similar to OPI Wooden Shoe Like to Know, but lighter and smaller less pronounced shimmer particles.

Introducing myNo Journal
So why did we decide to design myNo Journal? The simple answer is choice and flexibility. For journal users, we wanted something that people could start at any point in the year, no more wasting a quarter of the book because you didn't start on January 1st. For note takers we wanted to add the benefits of planning and recording your life without being forced to do so. myNo Journal has been designed to work for you, however you choose to use it is the correct way to use it.
So what can you do with a myNo Journal?
Year planning
We have included a year planner that has space for 2 years of planning.
Perpetual calendar
Also included is a perpetual calendar so you can work out any date from now until 2048.
60 weeks' worth of journal entry space, enough to get you through the next 14 months. There are also areas to record daily priorities, times of events and shows a full week.
Weekly notes
Each of the 60 weekly journal pages is accompanied by a page of lined notes. This makes it easy to keep your thoughts and notes near the things you were doing at the time.
Dot grid notes
There are also 62 additional notes pages using a dot grid. This was designed specifically to help you neatly draw diagrams, plan areas and sketch out concepts
Conversion charts
Our conversion charts will help you with those tricky unit conversions without having to resort to Google.
The centimetre and inch rulers on the final page are more useful that you can imagine, unless you carry a ruler around with you all day!
Bullet Journaling
What is Bullet Journaling?
Bullet Journaling is a simple system that turns a notebook into a tool to help you plan and organise your life and notes.
Options for everyone
The branding options on myNo Journals are excellent. Our standard options include foil blocking and blind embossing of your logo or message. This year we have also introduced DigiFlex printing, this allows for full colour digital print on your
myNo Journals.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6640597-the-sister-pact (August 22nd - September 7th)
Blurbs from the latest reviews of The Sister Pact:
In her search to find the person who hurt her sister, the reader joins Savannah on an exciting ride filled with twists and turns. And in the center of the turmoil lies a ray of light, in the form of a blossoming romance.
I thought the story was heartbreaking, frustrating, heartwarming, and thrilling. I found myself drawn into the close knit, family circle that keeps the Compton family afloat during such a tragic time in their lives. Having a strong relationship with my own sister, I easily identified with Savannah's horror, heartbreak, faith and even anger.
I would definitely recommend this book. It was an entertaining page turner with strong, core characters. What a fun read! - Maryrose Serac, Reviewer
Cami Checketts's SISTER PACT is a remarkable suspense novel that keeps you on your toes until the very last page matched with spellbinding love and hushed attractions putting the reader right inside the gripping investigation. - Laci Smith, Author
I really liked this book. Although the title or cover didn't grab me at first, my curiosity was peaked when a collegue recommended the story. So I began reading and I was sucked in at the first chapter. The characters were believable and the plot was intriguing and at times intense. I also liked the fact that the author threw in a little romance along the way. A very entertaining story- I highly recommend it. - Rozelle Hansen, Reviewer
If you have enjoyed The Sister Pact I'd love to hear about it.

Testimonials 19th Century Masterfile
University of Chicago, Science Libraries
Libraries don't have to be as specialized as we are to benefit from using 19th Century Masterfile. Even undergraduate programs with a strong modern history curriculum would benefit, especially if research is a focus. It gives our researchers fuller, more well-rounded results than relying solely on standard STM databases would.
Library Journal
The enhanced access it offers to a huge body of historical information makes 19th Century Masterfile highly recommended for all academic and public libraries.
Melissa Van Vuuren, author of Literary Research and the Victorian and Edwardian Ages, 1830-1910
19th Century Masterfile supports generalists as well as subject specialists, because it doesn't force the researcher to know which niche index to search. As a librarian, I know that I can go to 19th Century Masterfile for practically any 19th Century primary source question. That is a huge time saver.
Erin Cassidy, Sam Houston State University
19th Century Masterfile provides us the opportunity to search dozens of sources using one simplified, unified search interface. Retrieving primary source material from across diverse sources like ARTstor, Catalogue of Scientific Papers, and American Memory from the Library of Congress ensures that our students and faculty will find many relevant resources with just one search.
The Charleston Advisor
19th Century Masterfile is the most comprehensive research tool for 19th Century Studies. It should be the researcher's first stop to explore the literature.
Lauren Christos, Florida International University
I knew how valuable 19th Century Masterfile would be to professors in a variety of disciplines. Not having it would put our faculty at risk of overlooking an important piece of research in their field.
Florida International University
The 19th Century Masterfile database is the most comprehensive index to 19th-century English and American periodicals, and is an essential research tool for research faculty and graduate students in history and literature.

Gone are the days of boring old "cocaine" or "weed", and what the hell is "acid", granddad? No, if you don't wanna be a geek on the street, then you gotsta learn the lingo otherwise you'll be lying in dirt, son.
But if you're a cop, how are you supposed to stay up to date with all the slang being bandied about the drug scene? If you overhear someone down the wire talking about selling some blue smarties, are they plying illegal drugs, or are they actually just selling blue smarties? You can't arrest someone for selling chocolate, unless of course chocolate is another name for heroin. Who knows? I'll stick with my actual blue smarties (they still get you messed up).
Anyway, to help all the clueless po-po over in the US, the DEA has released a giant (like, seriously giant. We're talking jolly green here. Also a name for weed, probably) list of street names for drugs. And basically, the point of this article is not to educate, but to make fun of some of the really silly names that people use for drugs.
The list is broken down into parts, and so I'm going to run with the same theme. So might as well get on with it – here are the funniest slang names for drugs in the DEA's new list:
B-Bombs; Blue Boys; Cartwheels; Chicken Powder; Co-Pilot; Coasts to Coasts; Goofballs; Head Drugs; Road Dope; Snow Pallets; Sparkle Plenty; West Coast Turnarounds.
All-American Drug; Aunt Nora; Bernie's Gold Dust; Big Bloke; California Pancakes; Car; Crusty Treats; Designer Jeans; Devil's Dandruff; Flea Market Jeans; Gift of the Sun; Mama Coca; Rims; Ski Equipment; T-Shirts; White Mercedes Benz.
Crack Cocaine
Beam Me Up; Beautiful Boulders; Breakfast of Champions; Crunch & Munch; Rocks of Hell; Tension.
Aunt Hazel; Beyonce; Chocolate Balls; Galloping Horse; Mexican Treat; Mortal Combat (spelled wrong – clearly they were saying it with a K); Nice and Easy; Pants; Snickers.
Blind Squid; Cat Valium; Super Acid.
Bart Simpson; Big D; Chinese Dragons; Dental Floss; Dinosaurs; Electric Kool Aid; Golf Balls; Grape Parfait; Hats; Jesus Christ Acid; Live, Spit & Die; Mind Detergent; Mother of God; Newspapers; Pink Robots; Pink Witches; Pizza; Square Dancing Tickets; Uncle Sid.
Animal Cookies; Bambalachacha; BC Budd; Blue Cheese; Crying Weed; Giggle Smoke; Girl Scout Cookies; Grand Daddy Purp; Lime Pillows; Little Green Friends; Mowing the Lawn; Queen Ann's Lace; Rainy Day Woman; Righteous Bush; Smoochy Woochy Poochy; White-Haired Lady.
Booty Juice; Kleenex.
Blue Bell Ice Cream; Beers; Evil Sister; Groceries; Pantalones; Peanut Butter Crank; Pointy Ones.
Alien Sex Fiend (mixed with heroin); Butt Naked; Embalming Fluid; Gorilla Biscuits; Super Kools.
Percocet (Acetaminophen and Oxycodone)
Rims; Tires; Wheels.
Bars; Bicycle Handle Bars.
Think we can all agree that LSD hogs all the best names though. "Hats" killed me for some reason. I might start taking acid just so I can ask for some hats.
"Oi mate, you got any-"
"Fuck's sake, keep your voice down."
"Sorry, just wondering if you had any, you know-"
"Oh shit, feds, run."
*Five minutes later*
"Alright mate, just wondering about those-"
"Yeah mate, what you want? I got pills, coke, weed, anything."
"You got any, erm, you got any-"
"What? Have I got any what? Spit it out mate."
"Hats. You got any hats?"
"Hats? Yeah got loadsa hats mate. You shoulda said. These'll make your head feel fucking weird."
*Hands over a small bag of hats*
"Cheers mate. This'll be perfect for tonight's party."
"No worries. Ever need anymore hats, gimme a call."

The PKD Foundation sponsored a symposium on Sunday during the first day of the International Pediatric Nephrology Association's Annual Meeting. The meeting was from 12-5 and included two pediatric nephrologists talking about ARPKD, research, and the future of the disease; a neonatologist talking about the NICU experience with ARPKD; a hepatologist speaking about CHF; and myself and two other moms giving our experiences of having a child with ARPKD. How inspiring and empowering. We each spoke for 7 minutes about our ARPKD story, an ARPKD story that has touched us, and our hope for the future. Of course my hope for the future is a cure for ARPKD but since that seems so far away then my hope is for parents to receive all of the information necessary so that they do not feel misinformed about the disease and never feel alone.
I am so grateful that the PKD Foundation set up this symposium and so grateful I was able to participate. On Sunday we spoke to 50 nephrologists and our overall theme was that we want all children with ARPKD to have hope. Hope for survival before they are born, and hope for their future.
Max has been asking so many questions lately about his kidneys. Then the other day he asked me when I thought Gabe would really get it about having ARPKD. I thought it was an interesting question. We talked about how Gabe has "had" ARPKD his whole life and it is all he knows and how Max didn't know he had it until he was 6. I truly think children who are born with medical conditions and/or disabilities rather than acquiring them later in life accept them better. It still sucks and I wish the boys didn't have this and I'm sure that is how most people feel when they are disabled but I do think they feel less sorry for themselves if it is all they know. It is just their way of life. I could be way off base here and obviously don't totally get it since I am not the one who has to deal with it like they do. But in my experience with the students I work with who are blind and visually impaired it is easier for them than for those who have lost their sight later in life. I am happy we told Max about his kidneys and that we are so open about it. I'm hoping this will hope both boys in the long run accept their disease and not ever feel ashamed of it. Everybody has something is our motto around here and boy is it true for us!! Everyone around here does have "something". I wish we were carefree and had nothing but it's just not the way it is. Like my sister likes to say "it is what it is"………
I read this article (http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/11/my-faith-how-i-navigate-the-land-of-grief/?hpt=C2) and found it to be so touching. I hope I never have to think any of those thoughts but hope this will help some people who might be reading my blog to be more forgiving of themselves and their feelings in times of horrible grief.
My Faith: Navigating the land of grief since my son's death
Editor's Note: Joe Sterling is a News Editor for The CNN Wire.
By Joe Sterling, CNN
Nearly 11 years ago my wife and I entered the world of grief when we lost our teenage son.
This week, we will again confront the never-ending anguish and heartache of this unfathomable death by dutifully participating in religious rites of mourning. And we will spend yet another year grappling with the sorrow just by ourselves.
When the anniversary of the death of our son (pictured) arrives this week–the 2nd of Elul on the Jewish calendar, which is tonight–we'll be headed to our synagogue to recite the Kaddish, the mourner's prayer.
We'll be lighting a candle at home that will burn all day in his memory, and we'll be visiting his gravesite.
A few days later comes the secular anniversary of his death, which falls on August 14. Shabbat happens to be that day and we'll probably end up at services.
Four times a year, a moving memorial prayer service called Yizkor is held in the synagogue, and that's when we recite prayers for the dead, such as the El Male Rachamim, as well as the Kaddish itself. We try to attend these services.
This flurry of activity might give the impression that we're devout, but we're not. While we try to be well read on Judaism and all things Jewish, we've never been regular synagogue-goers.
But the reaction to the horror helped us gain a profound respect for organized religious life.
After the death knocked us numb and we couldn't reason or plan anything, a synagogue committee devoted to helping those who grieve leaped into action, and their labors impressed us greatly.
People who didn't know us personally were there to help us navigate through the shock of death: They prepared our house for the shiva, the Jewish mourning period, and prepared food for us and the scores of the bereaved who showed up at our door.
This gesture affirmed our appreciation and deepened our understanding of the Jewish faithful.
But eventually the mourning period ended and eventually the crowds of friends and relatives who filled our living room disappeared, and it didn't take us long to figure out that the funeral and the shiva inoculate you from the real world of the bereaved.
After we trudged back to our jobs and began slugging it out in the working world, we began to sense the enormity of our loss, and that's when the readjustment process began setting in.
The most profound lesson I took from this ordeal is that no one understands the death of a child unless he or she is their own son, daughter or sibling.
Many people have asked us over the years if we've gotten "closure." The answer, of course, is no, never, unless you are a sociopath.
We've run into people who have had the nerve to tell us that our boy's death was part of God's plan.
We've encountered impatience from some because we continue to grieve, as if we're on the clock and there's a countdown toward normalcy.
But I soon learned not to knock these simple-minded people. I know their lives and thoughts will change when they get a call or a knock on the door with the ultimate bad news.
We've been frank with such insensitive people and have been unapologetic for reacting normally to an abnormal situation. It's a new world with no rules and you do things you never thought about doing before and see things you never once noticed.
When you go through this kind of ordeal, you cry without warning. When I turn a corner at certain streets, recall something nice or read about another death, tears flow.
I sweat in rage when I encounter a loutish teenager or a negligent parent, and I get very sad when I meet a respectful and wonderful young man or woman reminiscent of our son.
Over the years, it's been hard to stomach people who complain about trivial issues. I wish serial complainers would just shut up and smell the roses – the flowers in question being their children who are alive and well.
I was in such grief at one time that I read material about and explored ideas of an afterlife for the purpose of "contacting" my son. To me, such a quest is a waste of time but I had to carry it through and get it out of my system.
Over the years, though, I've worked very hard to not wallow in pain, and learned very quickly not to allow myself to be in uncomfortable situations.
For example, if I were watching a film with disturbing imagery, I'd walk out of the theater or click off the pay-per-view. If I were invited to a gathering and something upset me, I would leave.
Nothing will compel us to let the pain get worse. My wife and I haven't been shy about getting grief counseling, a process that helped us go forward.
We've learned that honoring our son's memory with our daily actions and never forgetting him are the most important parts of the coping process.
I'll never forget the day I came early to pick my boy up at football practice, and to my surprise, he was waiting for me.
He told me he and a Muslim kid on the team chose to walk out because a representative from a Christian athletes group was invited to preach to team members. (This was at a public school, by the way.)
So many kids would have caved under such pressure and stuck around.
But our son–who reveled in the diversity that typifies the cities we lived in and had good friends from every religion, ethnic group and social class–knew who he was and was proud of his identity, so he left the gathering.
The only advice I can give a parent who loses a child is to soldier on. You have no choice. As years go by, pleasant thoughts of the departed will replace the nightmares and the pain. The torment will always be there but it will recede.
Here's a quote from The New York Times obit of Bob Lemon, the Cleveland Indians pitcher and Yankees manager, about the death of his son in an accident. I've never stopped thinking about this remark after I first read it.
"I've never looked back and regretted anything. I've had everything in baseball a man could ask for. I've been so fortunate. Outside of my boy getting killed. That really puts it in perspective. So you don't win the pennant. You don't win the World Series. Who gives a damn? Twenty years from now, who'll give a damn?"
"You do the best you can. That's it."

Kidney Pilot Set
by SEAN GARDINER And SUZANNE SATALINE
The New York City Police Department has agreed to participate in an experimental program with New York University School of Medicine and other agencies to recover kidneys from volunteer donors who die outside of hospitals, the NYPD said.
Physicians in the U.S. are permitted to harvest organs only from people who die in hospitals. The new program—which would speed donors' bodies to Bellevue Hospital for organ removals—would be the first in the nation to try the approach used in Spain and France, said Lewis Goldfrank, Bellevue's head of emergency medicine.
The decision by police officials was the last needed that would allow NYU, Bellevue and various city and state agencies to use a $1.5 million federal grant to establish organ-recovery protocols and a mobile retrieval team.
Under the pilot plan, attendants traveling in a special organ-preservation vehicle would respond to an emergency call if paramedics decide they cannot revive a heart-attack victim, Dr. Goldfrank said. The organ team would confirm with family or friends that the deceased was a donor. The team would then be allowed to take the body to Bellevue to remove the kidneys.
I just came back from the PKD Foundation's National Convention in San Diego. Wow. How inspiring and how informative. The sessions were amazing. We started off the day with a parent to parent roundtable that I led. Then the best doctor in the world who is the guru in the field gave a presentation on ARKPD 101. Then another amazing doctor in the field spoke about dialysis and transplantation. After that session we had a working lunch session with a renal dietician that I personally thought was very helpful. Then the best doctor spoke again on the top ten things you should ask your pediatric nephrologist. I wish I lived closer to her because I would love for her to be the boys' doctor. We finished the sessions up with a psychotherapist speaking on the emotions of having a child with chronic illness. She talked about the emotions for the child and the emotions of being the caregiver. The day ended with a pizza party for ARPKD families. Sunday we had a session on CHF and then a Q&A.
Besides learning a lot, which I really did do, it was also so nice to hang out with the families. There were four families there who I have met before and really enjoy being with. And then there were four new families, three of them with babies with ARPKD. I hope I was helpful to these new families and I also hope they got something out of the sessions. I am grateful for the foundation for having this convention for us and for allowing these amazing doctors in the field to speak to us!!!
I'm pretty sure I've posted about religion before. It's such a touchy subject. I think any religion to the extreme is not good. And really in general there is a lot of overlap. My friend started this amazing website: supportforspecialneeds.com and this week's topic is all about religion and G-d and having a "special needs" child. Many different leaders of many different faiths were asked questions about G-d and having a child with special needs. There was a place to post your feelings and this is what I wrote:
I'm Jewish and probably less religious than most. I do believe in my religion and feel proud to be Jewish but most of all I like the traditions of it. I like doing things for the holidays with my family. I like incorporating special things into these holidays for myself and my children to make them special and memorable. Since my boys were diagnosed with their kidney disease (ARPKD) I would definitely say I have turned more to religion. I am not necessarily more religious and do not believe in G-d more or less than before. I just think I am drawn to the traditions more and drawn to start new traditions and hook on to the old ones. I've also found myself chanting a specific prayer in my head as a mantra to calm myself down. I do this in hebrew and sometimes spell out the words too. It's amazing how this does calm me and helps me move on from my panic attacks or fears or just frustrations when dealing with the disease. So I guess in a sense I do turn to my religion to help me find "peace" by practicing the traditions and chanting my prayer.

Business and Corporate Donors Deserve Followup Too!
This isn't retribution. Like any donor, he explained, he'd like to build a relationship with the groups he supports, not feel like they only run to him as the guy with the checkbook. Worse yet, he sometimes feels like a second-class donor. For example, he described his dismay when attending a nonprofit event and reading through the program, which listed everyone's cash donations -- but made no mention of the in-kind donations from himself and others. Oops.
Is the problem partly that the word "corporate giving" has made its way into common usage, leading people to confuse the local business owner with some faceless multinational conglomerate for which charitable giving is merely a drop in its promotional budget-bucket? I hope not, and I wish every nonprofit fundraising staffer could have heard this man speak. But I'll simply have to assure you that he wasn't faceless, and he probably represents the views of a number of other frustrated business donors. So keep in touch, and build those relationships!

Hundreds of millions of personal photos are uploaded to the web every day, but which one was the first? Rose Eveleth investigates.
In 1989, Silvano de Gennaro, a computer scientist at the Cern laboratory in Switzerland, decided to start a music festival that still runs to this day. He called it the Cern Hardronic Festival and invited the Cern community to get up on stage and showcase their talents. Little did he know that his festival would lead to the creation of a girl group whose picture would be the first personal photograph to be uploaded to the web.
Michele de Gennaro, who is now married to Silvano, remembers the first festival clearly. She was working as a bilingual secretary when a friend approached her about the show. Her friend planned to get Silvano to write a song to a particular physicist who she had her eye on, and wanted Michele to join her on stage.
So Silvano wrote a song called Collider, about a lonely woman whose partner works long shifts at – you guessed it – the collider. Watch it here.
Unfortunately, the desired physicist never actually saw the performance, Michele says, since he was on shift. "It was a shame but we had a great time and we got a lot of attention from elsewhere," she says. Thus was born Les Horribles Cernettes (a play on Cern's Large Hadron Collider), a revolving group of female singers who donned big hair, vintage dresses, and sang songs about physics.
This parody group with big hairdos and dresses reminiscent of the 50s, doing song of physics. I thought 'that's fantastic' - Lynn Veronneau
Lynn Veronneau, then a research administrator at Cern, remembers seeing the Cernettes for the first time at a festival on the campus. "I was there when these girls came on and I loved them!" she said. "This parody group with big hairdos and dresses reminiscent of the 50s, doing songs of physics. I thought 'that's fantastic'. I was studying opera at the time and I thought 'I want to be in that band!'" A year later, she was one of the Cernettes.
One day, Michele, Lynn, and the other Cernettes members at the time, were backstage at a gig, make-up done, ready to go on, when Silvano appeared with a camera. "Okay girls, give me a shot for the album cover,' he said. They posed, squatting together, with big smiles.
Later, Silvano was working on the photo on his computer – editing out the messy background so it could be used for the album cover – when Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, walked into his office. When he saw the image, he told Silvano that he should make the Cernettes a website. "I hardly knew what the web was," Silvano says. At the time his work involved running software on servers at Cern. "I wasn't really working on it."
It was the photo that opened the web to life
Berners-Lee decided to create a webpage for all the social activities at Cern and he included the picture of the Cernettes on the page for the music club. This first version of the image was tiny by today's standards; in those days, the web couldn't handle large pictures. Silvano says that the image was probably 120 pixels by 50 pixels. "It was the size of a stamp and took about one minute to load on your screen." Because they took so long to materialise, pictures didn't load on the website automatically, you had to click on them to get the image to appear.
Although this photo of the Cernettes is commonly called "the first photograph uploaded to the internet" that's not completely accurate. For starters, the internet existed before the web. And as the web was built for physicists to share data, that data often included scientific images. There were loads of images already on the web long before the Cernettes' photograph made its way there. But the photo of the four women is the first non-technical picture uploaded to the web. The first picture that was simply a photo for fun, not work. "It was the photo that opened the web to life," says Silvano.
It was the size of a stamp and took about one minute to load on your screen
Lynn didn't realise until about five years ago that the photo had a special place in history. Even then she says she didn't really understand what the big deal was. "I was starting a big musical project and I remember having this conversation with our publicist at the time, who said, 'oh my god that's a piece of history, we've got to put that in your bio.'" Now, Lynn embraces her part of history. "I can tell my friends and family I was incredibly privileged to accidentally be in the first picture uploaded," she says.
When I asked Michele if she had any sense that the photo they were taking would become iconic she laughed. "No of course not, no my goodness." But she says that, like Lynn, she now appreciates being a part of history.
We look so beautiful and wonderful in that picture. I love it
Today, the Cernettes are scattered across the globe. Michele and Silvano live in Mauritius, where Michele is a pilates instructor. Lynn is a professional musician, who tours the world with her jazz band. Angela Higney, the Cernette on the left in the photo now lives in Glasgow and works as a vocal coach. Collete Marx-Nielsen, the woman in the silvery sequin dress, lives in France. In 2012, the original four Cernettes reunited at Cern, and were joined by a whole group of later Cernettes for a concert; Lynn says she was blown away by how excited people were. "The response at the reunion concert was overwhelming. It was huge, there were so many people who came and there were a lot of people online – we webcast it and over 2000 people logged in."
This is something very special about that first photo of the Cernettes, says Michele. "It was maybe one of the first bands on the internet. We look so beautiful and wonderful in that picture. I love it."
