Vt. gets Homeland Security grantsMay 24,2013State awarded security grants
Vermont is getting $6.3 million in federal Homeland Security grants to help the state develop prevention and preparedness programs to respond to acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the grants will come from two Homeland Security programs.
A $3.4 million homeland security grant will help support the implementation of strategies to plan, organize, train and equip first-responder agencies who would be called upon in the event of an act of terrorism or other disasters.
A second grant of just under $3 million will help Vermont and local governments prepare for disasters and hazards.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

FORT MYERS, FL.--A disturbing discovery along our coast. Parts of a slaughtered shark were scattered all over the shores of Fort Myers Beach.
A father and his daughter came across fins and a tail earlier today all cut up.
"The fins were basically chopped off, the body chopped off in half," said John Heim.
Early Wednesday morning, John Heim and his ten year old daughter walked the beach to school, but what started as a peaceful stroll, quickly turned in to one of disgust when they stumbled upon pieces of a mutilated shark.
"Trying to get over the Lake O discharges, now we run in to something so disrespectful when it comes to sea life," said Heim.
"It puts up a very bad picture on the beach," said Michael Dearden.
Dearden also lives here and walked by the shark pieces, he says these kinds of gruesome images along the beach can hurt the island's image.
"Their bodies are mutilated on the sand, how does that look to the parents and the children when they are looking for some nice pretty place to have a vacation," said Dearden.
But we did some checking and it turns out boaters are allowed to catch black tipped sharks, but only two per vessel per day.
Dearden suspects something much more sinister-- poaching.
"If someone is poaching sharks, who says they are not poaching snook or tarpon," he said.
No matter how it happened or who did it, Heim says those images traumatized his daughter.
"It was on her mind all day, and probably will be for the rest of her life," said Heim.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves. With a mistake so many made in their youth, this band singlehandedly torpedoed themselves from ascending to the heights in metal held by only the select few like Metallica and Megadeth before them. After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More
Nashville Outlaws
With the music industry pretty much dead anymore, nothing really comes off as shocking. After all, you have very desperate companies trying to hang on and make money from an industry that has about as much relevance today as the typewriter ribbon makers of the world still do.

Texas Hippie Coalition
I tell this story often, but it's one of my favorites of the past year. I had the chance to interview the Texas Hippie Coalition earlier this year at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio. I was in a small tent with a bunch of photographers. The tent was fairly quiet really, as the much bigger adjacent… Read More
Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More
With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER. I've listened to this release multiple times a day for the last week or so that I've had it,… Read More
Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar. I've listened, and I've at least wrapped my head around what they were trying to do. Their fusing of death metal with progressive elements always made for an… Read More
Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly. There's an expectation of severe brutality which the band delivers time and time again. Certainly, it comes with different levels of acceptance to one's ears, but ultimately the only thing that matters if it says… Read More
Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad. Occasionally, like on FABULOUS DISASTER, they have misstepped along the way. But overall, they are one of the true powerhouses in the history of thrash metal. Since 2004… Read More
Mr. Big
As a fan of Mr. Big, I can't honestly say that many people thought that their reunion was much more than a cash grab opportunity for the guys in the band who, while immensely talented, failed to find solo success to match their collaborative efforts. It was never a question of if they could still play.… Read More
Kill Devil Hill
Kill Devil Hill features guys from three of my favorite metal bands (Black Sabbath, Pantera, Pissing Razors) trying their best to not sound like Black Sabbath, Pantera or Pissing Razors. Try all they want, there's no getting rid of elements they brought to other bands. In short, Kill Devil Hill feels like some sort of musical love child of Black Sabbath and Alice In Chains, only with that thick groove that Pantera built a legacy on.
To be very clear here, I'm not comparing this band to any of their more famous parts. This band is definitely unique as an entity, and outside of the booming sound of drummer Vinny Appice's drums, this is not likely to remind you too much of any of their famous bands. To the contrary, you simply feel the undeniable influence from their past. When you listen to a song like "Hangman", there's no denying the influence of the Alice In Chains album DIRT, and specifically the song "Rooster".
To me, the most interesting part of KILL DEVIL HILL is the vocal work of Dewey Bragg. This guy was a monster on guttural wails throughout WHERE WE COME FROM for his old band Pissing Razors, but is much more clean and moody here. Songs like the heavy Sabbath/Chains song "Gates Of Hell" show Bragg to be a singer of great depth and range.
Bragg is not alone here. Guitarist Mark Savon is the unknown of the group, but actually stands apart from the rest of the band with the sheer weight of his riffs and leads. In short, Savon provides a perfect layer of guitar tension and noise that Bragg ably works from. The music is all anchored by Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice and Pantera bassist Rex Brown. Is there any thought that a rhythm section could get much stronger? It's not likely. The thick bottom end commands attention throughout most of the material. Songs like "We're All Gonna Die" feature a monsterous groove for yet another song heavily influenced by the work of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell.
PITRIFF RATING - 85/100 - Kill Devil Hill is a strong band that could easily find an audience for the next decade to come. Their self-titled debut is especially strong, which is really not all that surprising when you consider their lineage. Quality metal from some well established metal veterans.

Fishing Report Date: 10-14-2014
South Boulder Creek continues to fish well as we head deeper into fall. Anglers fishing smaller dries, mainly BWO patterns have been doing very well. At just over 90 cfs, the flow is perfect for fishing dry flies! Right now we are seeing most anglers having success later morning, early afternoon, and right at dusk. The canyon needs to warm up a bit before the bite is on. Road work on Flagstaff is keeping traffic down as well.
Dries: Rocky Mountain Mint (BWO, 18-20), CDC Comparadun (BWO), Film Critics (BWO), Sparkle Dunns (BWO).
Nymphs: Juju Baetis (purple 18-20), Rojo midges (18-20), Tailwater Tiny's (Olive), Cheesman Emergers.

South Boulder Creek
South Boulder Creek has to be one of the most scenic rivers within a half hour of downtown Boulder. This creek starts up in the Indian Peaks near the Moffat Tunnel and gains momentum on its journey towards the cool deep waters of Gross Reservoir. Below Gross Reservoir, South Boulder Creek becomes a great tailwater flowing through the Walker Ranch open space. This area is the most popular section of the creek due to the great hatches and consistent flows through the summer months. The access to this section is fairly easy taking visitors up and over Flagstaff Mountain, onto a dirt road, and into the wilderness.
There is no road following the creek so if you are looking for some solitude this is the spot. The aquatic insect activity in this part of the creek is incredible, it sees hatches of Caddis, BWO's, PMD's, Midges and great Terrestrial fishing. South Boulder Creek might be your best chance for a big wild brown in Boulder County. Every year anglers routinely catch browns in excess of 18 inches. The river heads east through some public and private water before dumping into Eldorado Canyon State park. After the plunge pools of Eldorado, the creek mellows out upon entering the flats of Boulder and eventually joins Boulder Creek.

November 21, 2014
SAN DIEGO (AP) - San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says Seneca Wallace, at the bottom of the depth chart at quarterback, has left the team.
Says Harbaugh: "He's not going to continue to play football."
A team spokesman says Wallace didn't travel to San Diego for Thursday night's exhibition against the Chargers. Wallace was listed as No. 4 on the depth chart behind Colin Kaepernick, Colt McCoy and B.J. Daniels.
Harbaugh says it was Wallace's decision: "I don't talk people out of it, especially not on game day."
Wallace, a seven-year veteran who was not in the league last year, played five seasons in Seattle and two in Cleveland. He was signed by San Francisco earlier this month after the Saints cut him.

text: Early or late 15th century? There is a book titled Hispanic Costume: 1480 - 1530 by Ruth Anderson that was published by the Hispanic Society of Amer (June 1979). I think it has illustrations of these in it. If late 15th century, then paintings featuring Isabella (Isabel) of Castile might do. (Of course there are all these rather awful illustrations of Isabella presenting Columbus with his monies for his trip that are quite fanciful and inaccurate.) Web Gallery of Art has: *LAURANA, Francesco* Isabella of Aragonia c. 1490 Marble Museo Nazionale, Palermo All-posters and Amazon have this one: Isabella of Castile (1451-1504) in Prayer, 1520-22 (polychromed wood) by Felipe Vigarny which I think is from the chapel where she is buried in Granada.

Cracking specimen Mand, wish I could find one, must get my macro head on after this set of nights
Same as I told Chris on his upload yesterday, would have benefitted with some selective gardening removing any extraneous items from the shot that tend to pull the eye away from the main focus of the shot, only takes a couple of minutes on the ground so to speak but improves the shot no end imho, all a learning curve this macro lark and I know you'll soon have it cracked

cheers Chris. Comments gratefully received. I think I'm banned from 'gardening' as I tend to be a bit of a clumsy madam and end up squishing them. haha..

Confirming HagelJanuary 14,2013Since he was re-elected, President Obama has been the target of one strident Republican challenge after another, as if the presidents success with the voters has infuriated the more conservative members of the opposition.
The newest of these challenges is the opposition being voiced to Obamas nomination of former Nebraska senator Chuck Hagel himself a Republican to be secretary of defense. Some members of the GOP cannot forgive Hagel for having pointed out fallacies connected to the American war in Iraq and for having spoken too sharply for their tastes about the tremendous influence Israels supporters wield in Washington.
Among the more articulate of Hagels detractors is William Kristol, who was a leading advocate of President George W. Bushs decision to wage war in Iraq. The editor of the influential right-wing journal, The Weekly Standard, Kristol said the former senator and his supporters have succumbed to neoconservative derangement syndrome.
Kristol explained that he and those who share his concerns are more concerned about Hagels Senate votes against sanctions and his generally overcautious attitudes about military action against Iran as well as his approach to Israel than they were about his positions on Iraq, although he cited Hagels opposition to the American troop surge that has since been generally regarded as successful.
But, to the American public, who carries more weight in this argument: the highly partisan neoconservative pundit or the widely respected former secretary of state, Colin Powell, who endorsed Hagels nomination? The public, given such a choice, would no doubt pay more heed to Powell.
I think he gets confirmed, Powell predicted on NBCs Meet The Press Sunday. I think hes ultimately superbly qualified, based on his overall record, based on his service to the country, based on how he feels about troops and veterans and families. I think he will do a great job as secretary of defense. We agree.
Powell endorsed Hagel as soon as Obama announced his nomination and he scorned those senators who object to the nominees track record.
There are people who are very supportive of the state of Israel. Im very supportive of the state of Israel. So is Senator Hagel, and youll see that in the confirmation hearings, but it doesnt mean you have to agree with every single position that the Israeli government takes, Powell declared.
That, more than Kristols stridency and the similar criticisms of several conservative politicians, appears to conform with reality and, not unimportantly, with the sentiments of those Americans who dont bear a grudge against a president whose re-election has seemingly caused his foes to wring their hands and fault almost every move hes made since the votes were counted.
This is the neocons worst nightmare because youve got a combat soldier, successful businessman and senator who actually thinks there may be other ways to resolve some questions other than force, Richard L. Armitage, who was Powells deputy secretary of state, said of Hagels nomination.
The nominees former close friend in the Senate, John McCain (R-Ariz.), said on CBS News Face The Nation Sunday that there are legitimate questions that need to be asked of Hagel. Fair enough. No nominee can expect to be confirmed without questions from those concerned about his or her fitness.
But with this nomination, as for Obamas initial choice for secretary of state (Susan Rice, who withdrew because her foes were so determined to block her nomination), the opposition appears far more pointed and politically motivated than is usually the case.

(WPIX) - Start spreading the news: the saga of the downfall of ex-congressman Anthony Weiner is making its off-off Broadway debut. Two Hunter College alums, used transcripts from press conferences, interviews and the infamous sexually-explicit messages sent by Weiner to create "The Weiner Monologues." Director and co-creator Jonathan Harper said, "I think what we tried to do was to present what happened in the course of events as faithfully and weirdly [as] we could, just to make this larger point of what's public and private." Co-creator John Oros says that the Weiner scandal is simply a smaller piece to a larger story, "It kind of plays with the question of how we have Facebook and Twitter, and now with the NSA scandal -- [among the things] online, what's actually private?" Oros said. "Probably nothing." Generally theaters encourage attendees to turn their phones off, but the creators of The Weiner Monologues are doing just the opposite...and there's a good reason for it. "Instead of telling the audience to turn off their phone, we're going to tell [them] to keep the phone on," Schlieman revealed. "We'll be transmitting the pics that Weiner sent out… completely uncensored." The Weiner Monologues makes its debut next month at the Access Theater in lower Manhattan. Bring the kids.

LEGO Star Wars Demo
A casual take on the Star Wars story
LEGO Star Wars chose not to concern itself with realism and drama, by taking some of the most memorable events from the movies and transposing them into the entertaining world of lego blocks. Thus, everyone can enjoy a tour of the galaxy and have fun while doings so, as well as defeat the evil forces of the dark side in the process.
In addition, the game also encourages you to go through the adventure with a friend, by including an optional co-op mode that allows two players to move on the screen at the same time. Along the way, many other characters can join your party to help you advanced through certain challenges, which can be controlled as well whenever you require their skills. The character switch can be done with a press of a button, which comes in handy when you find yourself in sticky situations that require fast response times.
Use the trusty lightsaber to defeat your enemies
A major component of the game is fighting aspect, which has been masterfully perfected to blend in with the funny and casual nature of the events taking place while you are playing. Hence, the lightsaber mechanics are very easy to grasp and put into practice, especially since the character is controlled using the keyboard alone. Moreover, the lightsaber can also be your defense mechanism, by using it to deflect incoming laser shots.
As far as the other characters that have made their way into the game, each one of them has a special ability that must be used in order to advance. Throughout your adventure, a wide range of famous characters are temporarily under your control, including Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2 and even Yoda. Furthermore, notorious villains make their appearance as well, such as Count Dooku or Darth Maul.
Tons of fun across the entire galaxy
In the end, despite the fact that the game does not take itself very seriously, it does provide you with countless hours of entertainment, especially if you choose to play it with a friend. In addition, the cute graphics and the lack of speech make the entire adventure even more fun, leaving the rest to your imagination.

NEW YORK — Mary Tyler Moore turned the world on with her smile. Tina Fey turned the world on with her "Blerg!" "Dorp!" "Nerds!" and other off-kilter utterances as Liz Lemon on "30 Rock." That farcical NBC comedy about a late-night sketch show, echoing Fey's experience as the first female head writer of "Saturday Night Live," won boatloads of Emmys and helped make Fey a movie leading-lady with comedies such as "Baby Mama" (2008), "Date Night" (2010) and "Admission" (2013).
In "Muppets Most Wanted," opening Friday, Fey, 43, plays Nadya, a guard at the Siberian gulag where Kermit the Frog has been imprisoned.
Q: I'll ask you what I asked ("30 Rock" co-star) Alec Baldwin when he did a Russian accent in "Rise of the Guardians": How do you choose between realistic and Boris Badenov?
A: What did Alec say?
Q: Hmm. I'd have to look it up. Keep talking while I do that.
A: I feel like it's a fine line between the two — it's a pretty crazy accent. I tried to do a real one, but then I think we all jacked it up on certain words, like, obviously, "Kyier-mit" — a really great name for a Russian accent.
Q: OK, here's what Alec said: "It wound up being pretty Boris Badenov, but that was a choice."
A: Alec is pretty good at accents. We had a dialect coach for this movie, Jill McCullough. From the time you got there in the morning, she would talk to you in whatever accent you were supposed to be doing, and then she'd turn around to, like, an Irish crew guy and talk to him in an Irish dialect and then talk to someone from North London in a North London accent. I love her.
Q: I should probably ask, what's your take on Alec's New York magazine article (in which he expressed great frustration over several people and things, though not "30 Rock" nor Fey).
A: I didn't read it, because I think I thought, "Yeah, I pretty much know this spiel."
Q: You've talked about being awkward-looking in your youth. But you ranked in Maxim one year and on People's "Most Beautiful People" list. When did you get hot?
A: That remains to be seen, Frank. It comes and goes like the wind.
Q: You're too modest. Even in (the web series) "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," where it's not like your Vanity Fair cover with full hair and makeup, you look great.
A: Thank you! Look, it's part of being a woman and it's kind of a shame, but you have to be a little conscious of the way you look. I can't roll like Louis CK and just be, "Hey, let's shoot."
Q: So you were at Second City, and landed a writing position at "Saturday Night Live." What was it like getting the news?
A: I think the first person I called when I heard was (former Second City castmate) Amy Poehler. She was already living in New York and I started crying because I was sort of overwhelmed — they literally gave me one week to pack up my apartment in Chicago and move to New York. And my boyfriend at the time — now my husband — was going to have to stay in Chicago for work, and I was kind of overwhelmed … I remember Amy laughing and she was like, "How much money is it?" It was certainly the most money any of us had made, and she was, like, laughing really hard, like, "You gotta do this!"
Q: Last thing: You have my favorite line in "Muppets Most Wanted."
A: Really! What is it?
Q: "Goodnight, Danny Trejo!"
A: I think we may have come up with that on the fly, but I can't remember. I don't think it was in the script. I'd have to check. But I'm so glad it's your favorite line!
Q: Well, then … "Goodnight, Tina Fey!"
A: "Goodnight, Frank!"

iPads for kids at smaller school district. The Conestoga Board of Education approved $250,000 for the purchase of iPad computers and supporting equipment for a 1:1 (one computer, one student) technology initiative at Conestoga High School to begin in August of this year.
The Cassgram reports the report on the Conestoga website says students in grades 9-12 will be issued an iPad tablet which will become a significant tool in the educational program. It will be possible for students to access online materials, curriculum and testing using the devices.
Students and parents will be receiving more information about the program this summer. Meetings will be scheduled with parents and students to discuss the protocol of using the iPads in and out of the school setting.
Funding for the program comes from a variety of sources including technology bonds approved by the Board this month.

Something we just have to ask Seor Swankys, that beloved celebrity hangout, has been closed for what, five months now? So why, in a city where vandals shatter glass windows (as happened to Fiamma this morning) and random menu boxes are uprooted and dragged down the street for no reason, is its banner still hanging around? Were not advocating thievery, but really not one NYU student wants this iconic souvenir up in his dorm room?

After five months, no one has claimed the 'celebrity hangout''s iconic banner.

While we should all be ecstatic for one another because we all have what matters the most -- devoted families and wonderful friends -- the old cliché of "actions speak louder than words" always prevails. And sometimes our words are more caustic than fire. My Mama always taught me "if you don't have anything nice to say, well just don't say anything at all." During this episode some of us should have taken my Mama's advice. I was troubled by Kim's criticism of Kandi's prestigious neighborhood and gorgeous home and equally if not more disturbed by Kenya's harsh comments to the young aspiring models. While I hope that none of the comments were meant to be as hurtful as they sounded, I found them highly offensive. As women, we must always realize that it is not always what we say but more importantly when, where, and how we say it that counts most. In closing, "wisdom has two parts: (1) Having a lot to say (2) Not saying it." -St. Bernadine (Catholic Church: Baltimore, MD).
Again, thank you for your continued support. I am most appreciative. Please visit www.phaedraparks.com to learn more about me and my upcoming ventures.

Whether to buy an Apple Mac desktop or laptop is a big question. After all, the price range is mostly similar, but Apple Mac desktops and MacBook laptops offer quite different features. Apple's Mac desktops often offer higher speced models when compared to laptops, but chain you to a desk; while Apple's MacBook laptops lets you roam free, but at what cost?
In this feature we look at Apple's Mac desktop and MacBook notebook range of computers, and see which one is right for you. (This Should I get a Mac Desktop or Laptop feature was updated on 24 April 2014 to include new specs and pricing information.)
The Apple Mac desktop computers
Apple currently makes three different models of desktop computer:
iMac. The first and most famous is the all-in-one iMac with its built in display (either 21.5-inch or 27-inch). Read more about the iMac here.
Mac mini. The diminutive Mac mini needs a separate screen, keyboard and mouse but offers the latest power but is small enough to fit in a handbag and has a wide range of connections. Read more about Mac mini here.
Mac Pro. Finally there is the all-new Mac Pro which offers incredible speed in an all-new style of cylindrical design. There are two main models available: a 3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon powerhouse and a 3.5GHz 6-Core behemoth. Both feature dual AMD FirePro graphics cards. Read more about Mac Pro here
Prices start at £499 for the Mac mini (although you'll need to factor in the cost of a screen if you haven't got one) and £1,149 for the iMac. The new Mac Pro starts at £2,499.

Should I buy an iMac or Mac mini
Apple Mac laptop range
Apple's laptop range is more popular than its desktop range (Apple sells more laptops than desktops). Apple has three different laptop models to choose from.
MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular model, with its super-light and super-small design (either 11-inch or 13-inch screen). It's no slouch though and the latest model offers a tremendous amount of battery life (up to 12 hours according to Apple). Read more about the MacBook Air here.
MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is the closest Apple has to a more traditional laptop. Only one version is available (with a 13-inch screen). It has a 500GB 5400-rpm hard drive instead of the newer flash storage system found on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display. The MacBook Pro is the only Mac still being sold with a built-in optical SuperDrive (CD/DVD writer). Although you can purchase an external Apple DVD Superdrive to go with other Macs. (See: Is it worth buying an Apple USB SuperDrive?)
MacBook Pro with Retina Display. This super-high resolution display makes compatible apps (most Apple apps plus stalwarts like Adobe Photoshop) look amazing. The MacBook Pro models are available with 13-inch and 15-inch screens. Read more about the MacBook Pro Retina here.
Prices start at £849 for a MacBook Air, £999 for a MacBook Pro and £1,099 for a MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Apple desktop vs laptop features
Comparing a desktop to a laptop throws up some pretty straight-forward differences. The first being that a desktop (especially the iMac) is clearly designed to sit on a desk; the laptop is designed to be carried around with you (or, as the name suggests, used on your lap), these are often referred to as notebooks, particularly in the US.
All Macs feature Wi-Fi (known as AirPort), but the portable nature of a laptop doesn't doesn't just affect your ability to take the computer to a local coffee shop, a MacBook can be quickly moved into meeting rooms for presentations, and if you're at home you can move from the desk to the couch and carry on using your computer.
Having said that there are also a number of key differences between an Apple MacBook and Desktop.
Screen size. The screen on the Apple MacBook computers starts at 11-inch and goes up to 15-inch (there was previously a 17-inch model, but this was discontinued by Apple). On Apple iMac computers the screen size ranges from 21.5-inch to 27-inch. Don't underestimate screen size as a factor in productivity: this Apple study shows that large monitors provide productivity gains of between 50-65 per cent.
Processor. The MacBook Air starts with a 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor; whereas the Mac mini starts with a 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 (but that is a much older Intel processor since the Mac mini hasn't been updated in over a year). The 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina Display also sport dual-core Intel processors. When you move up to the the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display you get a quad-core Intel CPU. Apple iMac computers also come with quad-core Intel i5 or i7 CPUs, while the Apple Mac Pro has a quad-core or 6-core Intel Xeon E5 (which is a workstation class processor).
Although there's some areas of crossover between the MacBook Pro and Mac mini, it's clear that you get a lot more processor bang for your buck on the desktop range. This isn't just a nicety: the faster speed will make a lot of difference if you're using Photoshop and 3D imaging software, or video editing. It also extends the lifespan of the machine, ensuring it'll be able to run newer software for longer.
Graphics. Alongside the Intel processor in each Apple Mac sits a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). This is often referred to as a "graphics card" although they are not always seperate cards these days. The GPU is primarily used to manage visual effects and a good GPU enables games, and other graphic intensive programs to run more effectively.
At the entry level: the Mac mini, MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro all have Intel HD Graphics. These are all integrated graphics cards that run on the same die as the main CPU and share the RAM with the rest of the computer. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the entry level 21.5-inch iMac has Intel Iris Pro. This is the same system but with 128MB of dedicated RAM that acts as a buffer to improve performance.
There's nothing wrong with the Intel HD or Iris integrated systems (they run most modern games) but if you are a keen gamer, or work in a visual effects field, you should consider getting a Mac with a discrete graphics system. Apple is using NVIDIA and AMD for its discrete graphics systems at the moment, so if you see NVIDIA or AMD on your Mac it's going to offer better performance. the NVIDIA cards come with their own separate RAM alongside higher GPU specifications. The 21.5-inch 2.9GHz iMac, 27-inch iMacs and top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display comes with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M. These have either 1GB or 2GB of dedicated video memory.
The Mac Pro comes with two graphics cards: Dual AMD FirePro D300 with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM on each card (4GB in total) on the quad-core model and 3GB GDDR5 VRAM each (6GB in total) on the 6-core unit. These are impressive numbers, and that sort of power is needed if you want to edit the new 4K video (or work for either Pixar or Dreamworks).
Storage. On the surface it appears that you get more storage for your money with a Desktop. The Apple Mac mini computer starts with 500GB and the iMacs have 1TB across the board and they can be upgraded to 3TB. The MacBook Air comes with 128GB on the cheaper 11-inch and 13-inch models, and goes up to 256GB on the more expensive models. Taking the 256GB storage to 512GB is an additional £240). The MacBook Pro with Retina display also comes with 128GB, 256BG or 512GB of flash as standard. The non-retina model has a 500GB Serial ATA hard drive as standard.
It seems odd that the cheaper Mac mini and MacBook Pro (non Retina) both come with larger hard drives than most of the more expensive Macs. This is because the MacBook Air. MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and now Mac Pro all come with Flash storage built into the logic board. This is much faster (between 5-10 times faster) than a traditional Serial ATA hard drive. So although you get less storage you get much faster performance.
You can upgrade to an SSD (Solid State Drive) hard drive on the iMac and Mac mini, although this costs £160 to upgrade for a smaller sized (but much faster perfoming) 256GB SSD. The Mac mini and iMac both offer the Fusion Drive as a £160 upgrade. The Fusion Drive blends SSD technology with a traditional Serial ATA space to offer a 1TB drive with higher performance. It's an upgrade we highly recommend. There's a speed versus space issue here but it depends on your function. If you're going to be editing a lot of video then the larger internal hard drive will make a lot of difference.
Upgradability. Apple computers are notoriously difficult to upgrade, and the latest range offers even more restricted computing than ever. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display both have soldered RAM and hard drives: they are basically non-upgradable, what you buy is what you'll use forevermore. The MacBook Pro without Retina Display still enables you to upgrade the RAM (up to 16GB) and swap out the hard drive. The iMac 21.5-inch is technically upgradable but so hard to strip down that it might as well not be, but both the iMac 27-inch and Mac mini allow you reasonable access to the RAM and hard drive.
The new Mac Pro is an interesting unit in that it replaces the one Mac with superb upgradability options with a radically new design. You can upgrade the RAM fairly easily, but you can no longer install PCI-Express cards into the Mac Pro and the SSD . However the SSD isn't soldered to the board as in a MacBook Air, instead it sits on a card above the GPU. Tantalisingly you may be able to upgrade the graphics card down the line, although the CPU will be forever fixed.
See: Can I upgrade the new Mac Pro 2013?
Upgradability is a mixed bag. On the one hand there are size, weight and performance advantages to having everything soldered inside the machine. But you can easily extend the life of a Mac by updating the RAM and hard drive as prices fall. Again the Mac mini and iMac 27-inch offer longevity.
Should you buy a Mac desktop or laptop?
It may sound trite but in the most case it really does come down to 'how portable do you want your computer to be?' If you need a machine to carry around with you then the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro offer this feature.
But if you don't need portability, you really get much more from a Mac desktop than just a bigger screen. The faster innards, and upgradability options (at least on models other than the 21.5-inch iMac) will allow you to buy a machine with more potential lifespan. And don't underestimate the productivity gains of working on a large 27-inch display.
