Bio and Links
My primary interest is offering biography for attachment to memorials of folks buried in Cheyenne and Laramie, WY, or, to those who left a footprint there and are buried elsewhere.
Often my interest extends to families who left footprints in Wyoming.
Wyoming is an extraordinary community and the kinship is very special for all who have ever called it home.
Please DO NOT TRANSFER MEMORIALS TO ME.
...Much obliged.

Mountview Cemetery, Billings, MT
There were several On-line sources of cemetery lists that I came across over a two year period, but I didn't keep track of which cemeteries were from which source--some I remember were in multiple locations. If you just google the cemetery you ought to be able to find it. I think it may have been copied from the County's records, as the woman who has been adding pictures has mentioned needing to get some names corrected on their Website.

If you are referring to Fayette Cemetery the south end of the section between Main Street and State Highway 240
Yes it is a cemetery for the negros when I was a child this sections was for Negros there was a fence that ran east to west this section was for years not mowed and was a mess it is now mowed as the other parts for white folks
A lot of times the community would clear it off for Memorial Day I am 74 years and I have tried to add people that do not have tombstones it does not matter to me if is a person is white or black I add them in hopes of helping someone I know a lot of the folks here both black and white and I ask for help with maiden names and place of birth and death hope this is some help Missouri death records are on line for free from 1910 to 1963 they will add 1964 next spring
SOS digital you get to look at the death record print out or save them all for free you may have to use the advance search as some of the writing is hard to read lots of errors they will correct if you send it in Tom C

You didn't find him as Tolson because he's not in the paper as Tolson and I missed it when I did 1904, but he's in there. Added his obit, not much to it though. He's also in the Finnish Church books that I have online at GenWeb as Talso. Lots of Finns drank themselves to death here and often the men came alone with no family to correct whatever the paper might decide to print as their name.
If you run across any other questions on the unmarked graves in the RS cemetery, ask before doing much digging, I sometimes have more than what is on the Find A Grave memorial. This guy, for example, Barb did that in her mass upload and the original cemetery listing actually gives the death date on these, she just ignored it for whatever reason (probably because it's labelled burial date) and only put in the year. On newer burials that date *is* the burial date, but not on the old ones. There's also a bunch that she didn't correct years from 1900's to 1800's, I think I've found most of these though, those would be predominantly in Bunning and O'Donnell sections (original Mountain View). I have some other local sources I can look at if it's gonna be a tough nut to crack, that sort of thing only happens 9-5 during weekdays though when there's staff to talk to.

William B. Branson
I spent 2 + hours researching this Branson & his very accomplished wife. Her story is very interesting. Her grandpa was the Gov. of Illinois; her mother married a Baron. Her name was "Kuhne Beveridge"; she studied in Paris & NY & did lots of famous sculptures that is still sold in galleries today. She & William lived between London & Johannesburg. Unfortunately, they aren't family of my ancestors. But, thank you for sending me the info!

James M Ingersoll
I have read the wyoming newspapers on line and found several articles on James. He was a very colorful character in our family history and was loved by all. One of my fifth cousins sent me a copy of his will. He had several pieces of land in Idaho too and in the early 1950 the city of Pocatello took the family to court and declared eminent domain on his lots in town, where their city hospital stands today. I had found the information in the Pocatello newspaper. I don't know what they paid the family for it though, my great aunt went to Idaho to represent her mother. He had provided for all his nieces and nephews at the time of his death. I did post a portrait of him on ancestry, it came from my Great Grandmother Baird. Most of James' siblings lived in Kansas, several of his sisters were teachers and two of brothers were lawyers. Their mother died in Kansas early on during the Civil War and their father didn't find out until he came home from the war in 1865.

Thank-you for the info, are you also related to the Ingersoll family. I actually went to Laramine just to photograph the grave markers for James and his family a couple of years ago. In August we are planning to stop again in Laramine so I can go to the library to look for more info on James. His sister Isabella was my Great Great Grandmother. I have an old pic of him on his horse but haven't put it on ancestry.com yet. Did you know he was friends with Teddy Roosevelt and visited him before Teddy died in Cove Neck, Oyster Bay, NY. At one time the Ingersoll family had also lived in that area. I see Charles Courant had mentioned James (page 619 & 620) in his first book, it's sad the other two books never got published. I knew James worked for the government in the transportation department and left in 1871, but he was not a soldier so doesn't show up in the military records. I wish we were stoping in Cheyenne instead of Laramine so I could see the Coutant Collection but I'm hoping to find more info on him in Laramine.
Warm regards,

Andaz Tokyo Refreshes Rooftop Bar, Adds New Sushi Counter
The rooms, lap pool, reception, rooftop bar – everywhere we turned at Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills there were pretty stellar views of the Japanese capital, so much so that it won our award for best killer view last year, just six months after it opened (and we walked through the front door). As fresh and sprightly as it may be, the hotel has already made some changes to the highest point from which to enjoy those views: the rooftop bar.
Above what you will find today on the open air terrace, which is a major difference with what we saw last year – and we think it's for the better. Where previously you had a set of standing tables, a few groups of chairs nearer the windows, and some beach-y furniture (scroll down for an impression), there are now much better defined seating areas in a stylish mix of dark wood and cream, with warmer lighting.

Hyatt Centric Chicago Will Open This Weekend (South Beach Coming Up Soon, Too)
That was crazy fast.
After Hyatt Hotels announced Hyatt Centric Hotels, their new millennial brand in late January, they will now open their first Centric hotel on Sunday--Hyatt Centric Chicago The Loop on Monroe Street.
Rooms are available to book for April 26 for $229 a night. That's for a 300-sq.ft. king room with modern minimalist decor in warm colors (Notice the "floating" cabinet.) The room rate includes complimentary in-room coffee and WiFi. Other top amenities include the Hyatt Grand beds, a 40" TV, iPod docking station and windows that open.
Downstairs the hotel will have a restaurant from Chef Roland Liccioni called Cochon Volant Bakery, Brasserie and Bar, which as the name reveals is an all-day spot serving "gourmet cheeses, fresh baked goods, fruits, organic juices, to-go foods and wines imported from France." The hotel's lobby also features a interesting "statement" piece behind the front desk from local South Loop artist Francine Turk.
In short, the place looks very cosmopolitan and chic, almost like Park Hyatt-lite.
But that's not all on the Hyatt Centric front.

Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Gives You Killer Views of, Erm, Everything
The other week, we were chatting to a friend of ours that we knew was traveling in Costa Rica. She sent us a few snaps of the hotel she was staying at, including the pretty killer view from a room above. Being who we are, we asked the most important question: which hotel?
The response? "It's this place called Andaz, which I think may be related to Hyatt? But it's not at all like a Hyatt." We nearly fell off our chair: we were talking to someone inside Andaz Peninsula Papagayo that very minute, a hotel we duly obsessed over when it opened, based on the renderings and descriptions of native Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher having "imagined a gathering of animals and used the shapes of cocoons and shells for the hotel's facilities...to stimulate the senses of guests in new and refreshing way".
Having laughed at us and called us a hotel freak (guilty), she sent us some more photos our way, which we of course had to share. The more we saw, the more we liked it, it was all so good… until it wasn't, and Andaz broke our heart a little bit. Here's why.

Flash Mobs and New Rooms: the Grand Hyatt Taipei Goes All 2015
The last few times we've heard about Taipei, it's been for new hotel openings – from citizenM to Mandarin Oriental. But new isn't always best, or so the Grand Hyatt Taipei wants you to think. On April 23 it will finish a complete renovation that stripped the hotel right down to the bone.

Inside a Standard Room at Hyatt Regency Kyoto
We've looked at a few Western hotel brands that have recently made or are making their way to Kyoto: the Ritz-Carlton, Starwood (by way of Luxury Collection), and Four Seasons. That changes things for the Hyatt Regency Kyoto, which for a long time was considered the high-end Western hotel in the city.
Does the Hyatt have a lot to worry about with all this fresh competition? We'd say yes and no, based on our stay. You'll find the Hyatt a short taxi ride across the Kamogawa river to the east of Kyoto station. Conveniently, our rate for a standard room included breakfast and a one-way taxi fare. Once we had figured out where to find the taxi based on the instructions from the hotel, we pulled up to the main entrance you see above in no time.

Hyatt Reopens and Renovates Churchill London, Picks Up Grosvenor House?
Back in November, we told you about the gas explosion that occurred at the Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill, which led to the evacuation, and subsequent closure, of the hotel. The "foreseeable future" time frame that was attached to that closure was sad to see, but we can tell you that things are looking up: after four months, the hotel is open again.
We can find a King Room this coming Friday for Ł290 ($433) a night, which goes up Ł40 ($60) if you include breakfast. An additional bit of good news is that the hotel has taken the closure to not only do the repairs necessary after the incident, but kick off a multi-million pound renovation of the rooms and suites as well. That renovation should be complete by the summer; we don't have any visuals of the changes yet, but will share them when we have more details.

Hyatt Place Will 'Deliver' a New Hotel to a Former Post Office in St. Paul
Looks like Hyatt Hotels may be the next big brand going postal.
Hyatt Place is hoping to open a 149-room hotel inside the former Eugene McCarthy Post Office in downtown St. Paul. I
The new Hyatt Place will occupy the lower floors of the 17-story "art deco gem" (we hear that a lot,) also known as Custom House, as it once housed customs offices on the upper floors. These floors will be reborn as luxe apartments.
While the apartments may have the better views of the Mississippi River or Kellogg Boulevard, the hotel gets the uber-tall ceilings, at 13 feet. That's also convenient because the Hyatt Place brand prides itself of having "roomy rooms."

Hyatt Centric South Beach Has Opened Up Reservations for Stays From....
UPDATE: A Hyatt Centric South Beach reps says the hotel will open in April but that the "spring inventory" has not been released yet. The hotel is working on a special opening package which they will release next week. Once we have those details, we will let you know how you can book a stay in April. Stay tuned.
The other week, we had an operative on the ground in South Beach who cruised by the forthcoming Hyatt Centric South Beach to check on the construction progress. Our operative's conclusion? April was going to be a tough opening date to make. And they were right.
Hyatt Centric South Beach, one of the first hotels of the new Hyatt Centric millennial-friendly brands to open, is now taking reservations from JUNE 1.
We found a room on that date for $239 a night for a 300-sq.ft. king bed with complimentary WiFi, 47" flatscreen HDTV, a tea and coffemaker, a minibar, an oversized desk with ergonomic chair and a Hyatt Plug Panel for all your gadget hookups.

Will Hyatt Centric South Beach Make Its April Opening Date?
Last week got a bit Hyatt Centric with the news that both Miami and Chicago would be blessed with one of these new hotels geared towards millennials in the coming months.
But just how close will the one in South Beach, come to hitting its targeted open date?
We swung by the construction site on the corner of Collins Avenue and 16th Street the other morning to take a look. As if the company had been stirred into action by our coverage, the site was abuzz with activity. Detour signs were set up in front a massive hole in the road on 16th Street and construction workers tinkered away on the exterior of the building at multiple levels.
That's all a good sign, for sure. But--and you can call us jaded if you like--we're not convinced this means that the hotel will be finished by April.

Hyatt Centric Will Open in The Loop in Chicago This May
Hyatt Hotels have always been Chicago-centric (it's where the company's headquarters are) so it makes perfect sense that their new brand, Hyatt Centric will open here as well as Miami.
Not long after the news came out yesterday about South Beach, came this news about the Hyatt Centric The Loop:
Hyatt Centric The Loop Chicago, a 22-story property first constructed in 1927 by Frank Chase, has undergone a transformative renovation from an office building to an iconic new hotel, all while maintaining the integrity of the building's roots. The hotel features 257 guest rooms, 2,513 square feet of meeting space, a 24-hour fitness center, rooftop bar and a new signature French bistro, Cochon Volant, run by James Beard award winning Master Chef Roland Liccioni. The hotel will showcase elements of the area's rich cultural and architectural past while offering guests a full range of modern amenities.

Hyatt Centric to Open Their First Hotel in South Beach in April
Remember the other day when we gave you the lowdown on the high season hotel happenings in Miami? Well, there's already been a change to the list. A BIG ONE. Sit down for it. Or at least stop glancing at Facebook while you read this important news.
The expected Hyatt South Beach at 16th Street and Collins Avenue will actually open as the Hyatt Centric South Beach, making it the very first Hyatt Centric hotel to open. If you aren't familiar with Hyatt Centric, you can read all about that here. In short, it's a hotel for millennials.
Since the name change was pretty sudden (or at least we think it was), the hotel's layout has not changed much since its initial description. But here's what you can expect from the 105-room hotel:

Checking Out the Future Home of Andaz Singapore
With the news that Andaz Hotels was heading to Singapore dropping into our inbox just days before we would be in town, we naturally had to include a stop in the Ophir-Rochor district on our itinerary to check out what we'll be looking at come opening in 2017.
We'll get to construction shots in a second, but first, here it is: the dual-towered DUO development Andaz will be part of, designed by Ole Scheeren, the architect also behind Bangkok's Mahanakhon Tower. Curving along a half-moon base, the exterior of the two towers is covered in hexagons, with extensive gardens and at least one pool on the roof. Read on for much more.

Your favorite movie Easter egg
A lot of movies these days have a ton of hidden Easter eggs hidden in their frames. Disney loves to hide their Mickey's in the movies and Pixar... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I'm a movie junkie, so there's a lot to count.
The most RECENT one I saw was in Percy Jackson 2; Nathan Fillion plays... someone's dad. I don't want to give it away... but he makes a reference to a (fictional) TV show; he mentioned that it was one of the best TV shows out there, so it was, of course, cancelled after one season.
Fillion was on a show called Firefly, which has a cult following, and it lasted one season.
(Technically, it also works as an actor Easter egg because in most of the shows / movies he's in, you can find references to Firefly).
Technically, I don't count them as Easter eggs, but I love the details in Back to the Future. Little things you don't notice, like Twin Pines mall becoming Lone Pine mall after Marty goes back in time and accidentally destroys a tree on the same land that the mall will be built on. (Oh, and Old Man Peabody (the farmer who owns the land) has a son named Sherman... a reference to Rocky and Bullwinkle, where Sherman and Mr Peabody go back in time).
I like in Shaun of the Dead where a character explains the whole plot to the movie (toward the beginning) without you realizing it. There are tons of references in there because the guys are huge action flick geeks and zombie flick geeks.
The Thing and Iron Man both have people giving away twists or secrets towards the beginning; we don't realize it because we don't speak the language.
What Guys Said 5
They're very obvious Easter eggs, but in The Expendables 2, towards the end. Schwarzenegger, Willis, and Stallone are all quoting each others' movies. And when Chuck Norris drops a Chuck Norris fact during his cameo :-)
In Superman Returns, a newscaster is listing off all the places where Superman has been spotted. Gotham City is one of them.
In Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp modeled Jack Sparrow's movements, gestures, mannerisms, etc. from Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Keith Richards makes a cameo as Jack Sparrow's father in Pirates 3.
In the TV show NCIS, we know that the characters Gibbs and Ducky have known each other for years. One character asks Gibbs what Ducky looked like when he was younger. Gibbs responds "Illya Kuryakin". David McCallum, who plays Ducky in NCIS, played Illya Kuryakin on The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
In Monsters, INC., towards the end, when Sully is taking Boo home, Boo hands him a bunch of her toys. Nemo (Finding Nemo) and Jesse the Yodeling Cowgirl (Toy Story 2) are among them.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indiana Jones is in the pit in Egypt, on the wall of hieroglyphics, you'd have to pause it and look really well, but you will be able to find C-3PO and R2-D2 on the frame.
Those are the ones I can think of for right now.
I know of another Pixar Easter egg. In Finding Nemo, when Gil is outlining his plan to escape the tank and they show a fantasy sequence of how the escape will go, when they're crossing the road in their fish baggies, you see the Pizza Planet Toyota truck from Toy Story drive by.
Yeah, Disney/Pixar is really good with the Easter eggs.
I remember hearing about a Disney that has a single nude frame in it, the animators apparently snuck it in and it wasn't found until years later, I think once the movie released on dvd. That's pretty funny.
My favorite movie Easter egg is when you see the Millenium Falcon fighting the Borg cube in Star Trek: First Contact, Industrial Light and Magic, who did the CGI for both Star Wars and First Contact, snuck it in there.
I also like the "He's Gay" Easter egg in Return of the Jedi, when Bib Fortuna walks up behind Leia while she's disguised as a bounty hunter and is facing C-3PO and quietly says to her what sounds like "he's gay", but according to the subtitles for the movie, is a huttese phrase. In the next shot, Boba Fett nods. There is some disagreement over just who is gay, C-3PO or Boba Fett, due to the way the scene is set up. I'd put my money on C-3PO, based on his mannerisms. It's a hilarious scene though. link
Really? See, now I want to watch Star Trek: First Contact just to look for it!
Here's a picture of it, it's just below the Akira-class ship's warp nacelle on the left side of the screen: link
Haha clever.

But crusty old bob dole was surely not considered more likeable than Bill Clinton in 1996.
His margin of 16.5 points over Ron Paul is bigger than George H.W. Bush's over bob dole in 1988.
John McCain and bob dole were calculation candidates, as was George H.W. Bush.

1876-CC Twenty Dollar, MS611876-CC $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety 3-A. Double eagle production at Carson City crested in 1876. 138,411 pieces were struck, using at least nine die pairs, though the production was less than one-tenth the mintage at San Francisco that year. Later during the 19th century, volume exports of gold coins to Europe became commonplace. As a result, the 1876-CC is readily collectible today in XF and AU grades. However, relatively few pieces remained in Uncirculated condition by the time of export, and perhaps none received numismatic consideration as PCGS has yet to grade any examples above MS62 (4/13). The present Mint State representative displays cartwheel sheen and is nicely struck. The scattered minor marks are consistent with the designated grade.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 26AW, PCGS# 8977)

Amtrak "renominalization" -- i.e. renaming -- by Harry Shearer
The great Harry Shearer gives us a fly-on-the-wall perspective of a hypothetical Amtrak renaming / rebranding project, from his KCRW radio show, Le Show. It's probably ten years old by now, but it's a classic. If you've ever been involved in naming or branding, from the agency side or the client side, you might experience a little Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome shock of recognition when you hear this. Enjoy (or weep).

Statement of Significance (as of designation - April 19, 1994):
The architectural heritage of Sag Harbor dates largely from the first half of the 19th century when it was a booming whaling town. Old Whaler's Church (1843-1844) was built with the support of wealthy ship owners, captains, and local businessmen, when Sag Harbor was at the height of its prosperity. One of the most important buildings in town, this church is also one of the most important buildings in the Egyptian Revival style to be found in the United States. Its battered walls and tall slanted windows are derived from ancient Egyptian temples, while Greek Revival motifs are employed along with cornice details that are adaptations of whaling implements. The architect was Minard Lafever.

I was wondering what computer or laptop would you guys reccomend for an artist thats going to be attending art school soon (2009) and will be continuously uploading art onto CA. My computer recently died [ RIP ], yeah, it was a DELL......I wonder why it died within a period of four years....hmmmm .
anyways. your reccomendations are greatly appreciated!
PS: thats the reason I havent been uploading into my sketchbook for soooo long. No computer. scanner works fine. I have to use my dads computer every now and then when he isnt on it doing his dental/medical work.

I have a Fujitzu and have had it for several years and have never really had any problems with it at all, aside from the battery life which is sucked dry by the 19'' monitor. I'd recommend Fujitzu laptops.

Well it totally depends on what kind of artwork are you doing. For 3d and other work that needs lots of rendering focus on very fast processor (intel quad cores are must). 4gb of ram is minimum if you are running with vista and using photoshop and other pretty heavy softwares. I just draw few lines in photoshop and RAM usage went to 1gb prety fast. 500gb hard disc maybe? Depends again what are you gonna put in your computer. Good motherboard that supports the stuff that you are buying . Decent 3d-card if not playing good if you are. And buy the parts in computer shop and if you or your friends don't know how to build comp. most of the shops will build it for small fee.
I hope this helped at all and i can recommend some parts if you want.
August 13th, 2008 #4
not to derail the thread, nor take a stab at you Odayga (not my intent to offend), but if anyone reads this and has a solid handle on the current tech out there - inc average stats, prices, etc - could you please compile it into the one "Computer/Laptop/Wacom/Monitor Guide" thread and have a mod sticky it to the top? again, this is directed at nobody in particular, and not intended to cause outrage, but it just seems that everyone's been starting up their own threads asking exactly the same question, re: computers or wacoms or screens.. surely we can consolidate all that helpful energy into the one thread? i would do it, but i dont exactly have a finger to the virtual pulse of technology..
ps. good luck finding a package to suit you, Odayga

Thanks stoph.
Now since I'm an illustration major i'm most likely going to be using illustrator/photoshop on there as well as uploading high def paintings and drawings from the scanner. I was looking into a Sony Vaio which currently are at a good price from Best buy and Costco.

I try my best to keep up with technology. So here we goooo....
Well, I'm hearing that CS4 is going to be borrowing processing power from the GPU, so it might not hurt to get a decent one.
It's hard to recommend computer specs without knowing your price range.... IMO mid-range is always the best way to go. If you spend $4000 on a computer today you'll only gain 20-30% gains on a computer half the cost. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but the point remains the same. You're much better off buying a $1500-2000 computer today and then upgrading it in a couple years. Diminishing returns really hurt, and unless you're really willing to putz around with your computer trying to get it to work really well, it's just not worth it.
Here are some suggestions with that in mind:
A 2.5 ghz Quad Core will run you about $270. It's not amazing, but in the 45nm die shrink it doesn't generate a lot of heat and it's overall a very solid CPU. (edit again) It's also worth noting that Intel is coming out with the Core i7 (formerly Nehalem) in early October. It's a hyper-threaded quad core (8 threads) and available in a wide range of costs from $284-$999 (2.66 GHz to 3.2 GHz) it should kill any multi-threaded application... Like photoshop.
Do NOT buy nvidia currently. I know there's a lot of nvidia fan boys out there, however I actually keep up with performance benchmarks and nvidia cards are not worth the cost in the mid to high end market . The 8800 GT used to be the best bang for your buck but ever since ATI came out with the Radeon 4000 series it has become very stupid to buy anything but one of these if your budget for a GPU is above ~$170. (Which is the price of a 4850) If your budget is below that, only then would I recommend an nvidia card. They have some great low end cards. (edit- important!) Apparently all nvidia G84 and G86 based chips are defective. These are the low end (8600 and lower) models. The low end 9 series models should be fine... probably.
DDR3 is only worth it if you're planning on buying a higher end PC. DDR2 does just fine when you're on a budget, especially because the stuff practically comes as a cereal box gift. I'd recommend DDR2 1066, 4 GB will run you around $100... Give or take.
Something to keep in mind about RAM.... 32-bit processors can only address 4 GB of RAM (2^32 = 4GB). Windows uses a virtual memory system in which everything from the 3 GB - 4 GB addressing range is reserved for its kernel and non-user space drivers and such. So, in essence, you max out at 3 GB for programs.
IMO anything more than 4 GB is a waste of money. You'll be hard pressed to use all that up. Photoshop is currently only a 32-bit program (although that too will change in CS4) so the most memory it will take up is 1.5-2 GB. Besides, 64-bit OSes are not worth the hassle of compatibility.
If someone else builds the computer for you, you shouldn't have to worry about things like motherboards, power supplies, cases and cooling... That sort of stuff typically isn't a good idea to leave to a consumer who doesn't understand the technology. Unfortunately they're also the most underrated and important parts of your computer.
In case you're interested, here's my computer specs:
2.5 Ghz Yorkfield (45nm) Quad Core
Asus P5E Motherboard
ATI Radeon HD 4870
4 GB DDR2 1066 Corsair dominator RAM
750W PC Power & Cooling Silencer PSU
DVD writer
Antec 900 case
Vista 32-bit (mistake, should have bought XP)
Total cost: around $1400.
I just bought it a couple weeks ago, so the price should still be pretty similar. I also built it myself.
I get very little brush lag even with really big brush sizes and canvases in Photoshop CS3.
I can almost play Crysis on full spec, too.... Almost.
Anyway, I'd be here all day if I tried to write about every little piece of hardware. The computer I bought works very well.
P.S. I'm a HUGE NERD. Ask me anything and I'll try my best to answer it in greater detail.

Gory has pretty much everything you need to know about current tech. Tho there are a few aspects you need to look at for future technology that will get you thinking.
I don't know how long you wish to hold out but the new Intel processors are right around the corner which are going to be a huge boost for us graphic workers. This is a whole new architecture (that means a whole new socket for the cpu) so if you upgrade now you'll be missing out on the new motherboards who are also backward compatible as they will be handle the new and the old processors.
As for graphics Gory has it right when he says don't buy any Nvidia cards right now but don't be making the jump to Ati either as their new GPUs out now (4870x2) which are top of the line are power hungry hot and massive!! We have to wait and see what their partners are going to do to change these aspects of this great GPU and also wait to see how Nvidia is going to answer back. Yet this is also subsequent of you waiting a couple of months before buying.
RAM is pretty much stable right now. Being that DDR2 is still the preferred all rounder in the market due to the fact that you wont see any major changes with the faster and more expensive DDR3. But yet again due to the great changes in processors (that will actually make use of DDR3 greatly) coming from Intel and the constant drop of prices in the DDR3 section of the market this will be the RAM of choice for the upcoming rigs of next year. As for what brands to look at there are a number of manufacturers but the one you should be looking at is OCZ.
Motherboards are the main aspect of your rig and will define what hardware you'll be able to get. As the market hasn't changed as for yet I will update this section when as the new stuff appears tho the motherboard of choice whether you're an avid gamer or power hungry user as most of us on here are then the ASUS 790i ultra edition seems to be the motherboard of choice but the ASUS Extreme Striker II is also a great choice. Other manufacturers such as Gigabyte also offer great Bang for Buck products but this will need a more indepth look at what each Company offers on their boards. remember that this will all change in the upcoming transition from the old processors to the new.
Hardrives are very important as going for cheaper makes other than the big names would spell disaster. Western Digital make the fastest right now with their 300GB Velociraptor drives running at 10000RPM in contrast to the normal 7200 drives. Samsung makes the best 1 Terabyte drives currently so a setup consisting of WD for you're core programs and the 1 TB Sammy for your final storage space is I think a good option to opt for. Future tech shows Toshiba using hardrives on PCI express cards (which what you're sound and GPU cards are based on) to exceed greater transfer rates but these are greatly overpriced and not aimed at the pro-sumer.
The most piece of hardware that your rig will rely on and that most consumers neglect is the power supply. A good power supply will not only give your rig a constant healthy supply of power but it will also protect it from surges. Also think of investing in a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). Good brands for PSUs are Thermaltake and Coolermaster.
I will not go to an in depth discussion of Cases as they are pretty straightforward. But remember that a good case has to have 3 things going for it. 1) Most important is how good it dispels heat from you're rigs innards. 2) If its noisy or not. 3) If it's easily accessible for you to change hardware from inside the case. 4) good price and good looking.
Now we come to what I think is the most important piece of hardware a person in our range of work could possibly own. The Monitor. The age of CRTs is nearly gone, some say they are still the best displays for colour critical work. I say sure but at what cost? Huge, heavy, insane power consumption, insane heat radiation and the fact that they really look ugly (My opinion of course). LCD displays have come along way since the olden days where looking at one caused major headaches and bad diarrhea. They are now the kings undisputed. What you have to know about LCDs is the differnce in their panels. (ie what you see in front of you). There are 3 types of panels and each one serves different purposes depending on what you're using the screen for. The three panels are: TN (Twisted Nematic), VA(Vertical Alignment), and IPS(In Plane Switching). The differences are listed as follows.
(Taken from the Hardforums website.)
TN film (Twisted Nematic)
- low manufacturing/retail costs
- restrictive viewing angles
- fast pixel response times
- dead pixels display white. Stuck pixels display RGB colors
- lower contrast levels means blacks are not as dark as VA based panels
- lower color reproduction
IPS (In Plane Switching)
- improved viewing angles over TN
- very good color reproduction
- slower pixel response times than TN
- dead pixels display black
- lower contrast levels means blacks are not as dark as VA based panels
Super-IPS (S-IPS)
- same as IPS except ...
- likely best color reproduction of all TFT
- less expensive to produce than IPS
- improved pixel response
VA (Vertical Alignment) Technologies
MVA (Multidomain Vertical Alignment)
- compromise between TN and IPS technologies
- superior color reproduction over TN but not as good as IPS
- very good viewing angles but less than IPS
- higher contrast than TN or S-IPS means very good blacks
- dead pixels are black
- slower pixel response than TN or IPS
- details can be lost when directly viewing dark areas
Premium-MVA (P-MVA)
- same as MVA except ...
- "overdrive" technology increases pixel response but still slower than TN
- may have slightly degraded color reproduction due to "overdrive" process
PVA (Patterned VA)
- same as MVA except ...
- larger viewing angles
- higher contrast levels means darkest blacks
Super-PVA (S-PVA)
- same as PVA except ...
- "Magic Speed" (the Samsung equivalent to Overdrive) improves pixel response
- slightly improved color reproduction
- slightly improved viewing angles
There is also and updated IPS Panel called Hyper IPS which is the latest in this category of panel make, and as you can tell offers greater colour reproduction and includes Overdrive Technology.
Obviously the screen to go for is one with any of the SPVA or HIPS panels as they are the best in their class. TNs are reserved for gaming and multimedia only. The companies to look for are either NEC or Eizo and I hear Planar offer a great set of Colour Critical LCDs and so does HP. Dell would be more for the amateur rather than someone looking to get into the field. Now the size to go for depends on what you need really. i say going bigger is better for the obvious fact of greater workspace. Lower than a 24inch would be milking especially in current pricing as they've become incredibly cheaper. HP has Introduced a DreamColour Display that shows 1 Billion colours. But the price point sets it above any student/just starting out artist.
A few models to consider are:
Any Eizo CG class LCD.
The latter being more expensive.
I've ranted quite enough but this is a very small breakdown on current and future tech and I hope I've made it a bit more clear rather than more complex.

wow, this is a good idea for a thread, definitely should be a stickie.
another thing to mention that people sometimes overlook is having backup storage - right now I use 2 hdds, one as main drive with system and files on it, and another as backup with all the files copied daily. I'll also hook up my third drive via usb externally soon enough and backup onto that as well. hdds just die sometimes, and viruses or system crashes can be an issue also, so having a separate physical storage is crucial.
another thing is that you hardly need the latest and greatest in hardware in order to work efficiently. when my motherboard died a few weeks ago, it cost me under $500 to put an entirely new system together (all the hardware was too old, the only things that stayed were the sound card and the case) and it works very well with CS3. it's not a gaming rig (only onboard video) but a workstation doesn't need it to be.
as far as CS4 is concerned, just don't see the point. what will it do that CS3 can't?

Yutani: The fact that it can utilise more than 3 gb of ram and actually make use of the graphic cards computing power. No longer do you have to wait 5minutes to save a huge file, instantaneous brush strokes and filter application!!
August 14th, 2008 #10
one thing that i think is important is not to go cheap on power supplies, if you go cheap it can cost more in the long run. get a good brand and if you get a good one it means you can upgrade more in the future. if you install new graphics cards and stuff you have to be sure your power supply can handle them.
if you want to know how much power your computer needs or if it can handle an upgrade theres a power calculator here
instead of going for a high end computer i think its better to go mid range but upgradable. have a good psu, and make sure the motherboard can handle upgrading.
pre cs4 for 2d, it has been more important to have a good processor and ram rather than a graphics card. im interested to know how much cs4 will utilize the gpu.

Whees... One day off and here comes pretty solid technological information. Only that sticks out was Gory's
IMO anything more than 4 GB is a waste of money. You'll be hard pressed to use all that up. Photoshop is currently only a 32-bit program (although that too will change in CS4) so the most memory it will take up is 1.5-2 GB. Besides, 64-bit OSes are not worth the hassle of compatibility.
And in case you are interested my build up is this:
Intel CoreDuo 2,66 GHz
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
8GB ddr2 800mhz
Antec Sonata III case (best price/power inside 500w) little bit small but got all in it
Cooler Master Hyper 212
Vista64 Ultimate
And this is i got for video editing mostly. It costs about 1k euro about 4 months ago. I know its not the best one and CPU needs maybe overclocking but it have worked without any complaints. Photoshop and other softwares have run smoothly as ever.

Video editing is a whole different animal than strict digital painting only. What I said is still true. Also, you might not have any problems but there still remains a fairly large segment of software and hardware that does not have 64-bit support. It's a lot better than it used to be but I'd still say it's a year or two from becoming more mainstream. If any of you *do* decide you want an ungodly amount of RAM, you should really research to make sure all of your hardware is compatible with it.
When CS4 comes out, the extra memory might be worth it... Although we'll have to wait and see.

Core 2 Duo E7400 (2.53 Ghz)

Visit the Flower Auction Naaldwijk "Flora Holland"
Naaldwijk is famous for it's glass houses, and in those houses flowers are grown. So next to the main roads to Naaldwijk there's a large complex for selling and buying these flowers. It has recently expanded to the other side of the road making the complex even larger. The complex in Naaldwijk is the largest of five complexes Flora has in the Netherlands.
Inside the complex many companies have their offices and cooling cells to keep the flowers in the best shape to sell them.
See it with your own eyes
Ever wondered what happens to your flowers before you get them in your home ? Visit the auction it's is indoors and larger then 100 football fields.
They have a visitor route, puzzle route for children and taylor made tours.
You can contact them at:

More heilige geesthofje
The people who lived in this hofje must come from the Church communitie. One of them was a kind of sucurity guard. All the people would get some money from the state. In 1627 this was Fl. 3,-- (that about
€ 1,20) par month. In 1631 it was already Fl. 7,-- (about € 3,00). Now a days they still get Fl. 1,-- par week (€ 0,45).

Little village
People from all over the world are working in the auction. The auction in Naaldwijk has 10.000 people in the building every day. There is a restaurant (3), a snackbar (2 driving and 1 in the building), there are more then 1500 people only working for the auction in Naaldwijk. And then there is Bleiswijk, Eelde and Rijnsburg who are also part of Flora Holland.
Last mothersday there was a profit of € 48.000.000 !!
Its a little town with a lot of buildings and you will be amazed that you loose your way inside the building.
Really worth to pay a visite!

The historie of the holy gosht garden
Hendrik IV, lord of Naaldwijk, put in his testament that his money, when he died, would be used to build a house for 5 poor, old men. And he also said that it would be build on the courd of the church near the Kerklaan (Churchstreet). This one house was replaced for 5 little houses. In 1627, Frederik Hendrik (then he was lord of Naaldwijk) put 15 houses with the 5 already excisting houses. Five for men and 15 for women. And that is how this garden (hofje) found his foundaition

Chapel Heilige geesthofje
The chapel you can see on my homepage about Naaldwijk is there since they build the houses. (on this picture on the left) But its also possible the chapel was build in the same time as the church and belonged to this church. (you can see the chapel on this picture from behind on the left side). Most people think that this chapel was build in name of Frederik Hendrik. His wapen (sign) is above the entrance. The chapel is since the 18th century not really a chapel any more but was used for all kind of things. Since a few years its possible to get married in this chapel (like Frans and I did in 1995).

The flag
We live in a area called "Westland". Its in the most West part of the Netherlands. We have our own flag and you can see it on this picture, dancing in the wind. The green is for what we build and the white is for all the greenhouses.

St. Adrianus church
This church has been build several times, it was stroke by ligthening and was overtaken by the statuestorm. And when they build it again in 1787 its been only alright till 1870.
When they build a new church that one only lest till 1897. And because a person called Hofstede died and left all his belonings to the church (also his grounds and farm) they can build a new big church. And in 1931 they start to use it and still do.

The old tram station
The old tramstation in build in 1907 and is used by the Westlandsche Stoomtramweg-Maatschappij. In the second half of the 60's the tram didnt need to ride anymore. And since 1977 it is used by our foreign Dutch people from Turkey or Marrocco (cant tell if its one or the other.)

On top of that, critics panned "The Women" long before it hit theaters. USA Today called it "Defanged and drippy ... watered-down, sappy and earnest." Salon.com said it's "just like 'Sex and the City' but without the sex" and concluded, "Let the record show ... that a movie written by, directed by and starring women can suck just as mightily as anything any bunch of men could produce."
Less-than-stellar reviews didn't hurt "Sex and the City," nor did they bog down "Mamma Mia!" or "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," the "female friendly" offering of late summer. But what all those movies had in common were big brand names to back them up, which, in conjunction with appealing to both the sexes, ultimately may be the most important factor in whether movie studios see chick flicks as revenue drivers going forward.
"Sex and the City" was able to parlay its footing in TV into a huge marketing campaign, complete with cocktails, tours and DVD editions timed to the release of the movie. Building buzz around a remake of a Depression-era film without any male leads is decidedly more difficult.
"As with big blockbusters like 'Harry Potter' and 'Spiderman,' it's all about the name," Pandya said. "If someone made a movie based on the characters of 'Desperate Housewives,' that would be huge. There's a lot of faith in the future for female oriented films, and when you're able to have appeal to men and women, that's when it really works. Otherwise you'd better have a damn good brand."

text: East Precinct -- Officer Doug Rickard said goodbye to his little furry friend last week. The Vancouver police officer and others in local law enforcement had a "shave off" on April 2 to ditch their mustaches, which they had been proudly sporting all last month during the "Mustache March" pledge drive for the American Cancer Society. The mustache men raised more than $4,000.
