Ironic how bk's post and the link I am about to post seem serendipitous...

I have seen a few silent films mostly Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Buster Keaton films. I liked Gold Rush.

My cousin Gerard, has been involved in preserving the history of the Rocky Boy Reservation by examining the history of the group, in addition researching mineral rights for the tribe. Rocky Boy is in northern Montana near Havre and is home to Cree and Plains Ojibwe. He is always on the look out for articles and documents on not only his group but also with other groups. I have learned a lot from my conversations with him over the years. Some of our conversations have opened my eyes.

Now, to the link, a silent film was discovered a few years back that featured an entire Native American cast. Primarily Kiowa and Comanche and the film also featured a number of descendants of Quanah Parker, Chief of the Comanches.

That's so cool! I wonder when (not if) it'll come out on DVD/Blu-ray.

The new biography of Marc Blitzstein arrived in today's mail.

Oooh, cool. What's it called? I loved "Marc the Music," but it was a bit, well, turgid.

For the first time, I bought some cheap compatible inks for my printer and they're plaing havoc with the print quality. That'll teach me.

TCM (UK) started broadcasting today in HD at long last. They kicked off with "Ben-Hur".

Hans Conried! I loved "Fractured Flickers", and those were always silents, right?

Me too! I have boxed set of that show!

Good Afternoon!

Well... I played some auditions earlier today.

Thank You for the Vibes for Baby Grace. I don't have all of the specifics, but, apparently, they knew from early on in the pregnancy that Kristy might have to be very carefully monitor her level of physical activity and stress. They have already discussed a premature birth - natural or induced - but as with any pregnancy, if Baby Grace can be carried to full term, then all the better.

DR elmore - I bought that Lambert Wilson album in a cut-out bin at Tower Records. It was priced at $2.00, so, I figured what-the-hey? The first time I played it, I could only get through the first two tracks - it was just so hard to listen to. Eventually, I made it through the whole album... I should have left it in the cut-out bin.

Continued vibes to both DR Jane and DH Keith.

Thank you. When I turned on my computer this morning and saw my new wallpaper I smiled. I can't wait to see the print of Sherlock & maybe one day I'll get to see the original painting.

Life on Canyon Lake is fun. The scenery is gorgeous, even if the drive to work is a little longer than I'd like.

Yesterday we went up a road called the Devil's Backbone and just wandered through the Texas Hill Country. We found a watering hole that plenty of people were playing in and jumping into from swings. Quite a pleasant break from the 103-degree day.

Busy little day so far - had a salad for lunch, then picked up some mail and shipped a package, then did some banking, made an appointment for tomorrow with Teddy, then wrote the short liner notes thing, and then was feeling industrious so wrote another set of liner notes.

I got some lovely genealogy data I have been working with the last couple days.

I was also enjoying the nice warm weather...

Congratulations on both the genealogy & continued good weather.

I'm up and have been so since nine, thanks to some loud workers in the neighborhood - more building of oversized and stupid houses, and, of course, the never-ending work done on Annette's daughters' home - it's fine for them because they are obviously living elsewhere during the work.

LOL Bruce for most people 9:00 is a reasonable hour. I do feel for you though. It is rather noise here, but then once the workers are done I will reap the benefits.

TOD:

My father had a 9.5mm projector and the first films I remember seeing at a very young age were Chaplin shorts, THE RINK, THE PAWNBROKER, ONE A.M. THE FIREMAN, THE CURE and, my favorite, EASY STREET. Years later I enjoyed seeing all the Buster Keaton feature films on the big screen. Also saw many silent films at the National Film Theatre including a very long showing of Abel Gance's NAPOLEON.

I never realized Chaplin wore shorts.

Yes. Going "commando" wasn't as comfortable back then as it is today.

I had to look at this twice to clarify that what you said you needed was a nap instead of a "slap".

For the first time, I bought some cheap compatible inks for my printer and they're plaing havoc with the print quality. That'll teach me.

I bought some a couple of years ago and my printer couldn't (wouldn't?) even recognize that an ink cartridge was even installed. It wouldn't print anything. Totally wasted the purchases. However, a couple of weeks ago, I took an empty official Canon cartridge to Costco and they refilled it and it worked! When it prints, I get the message that the cartridge is empty, but it still works. I'll be taking my cartridges there from now on!

Is there a local place that can do that for you, Doug?

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** September 04, 2012, 03:17:15 PM »

Interesting about Costco. I'll have to mention this to Keith.

I just found out that my specific brand/type of printer ink cartridge is a new addition to what refills they offered. They hadn't been able to refill it before now...they don't refill all types.
