Still Waiting on a New Mac Pro? 2012 iMac Beats Mac Pro in DaVinci Resolve and Premiere
Oh where, oh where is Apple's "Pro" line of products going? Okay, I admit the words don't work as well with the song as the actual lyrics, but it's still a fair enough question to ask. There's speculation that Apple is slowly but surely consolidating its professional products line with its consumer one — in terms of both software and hardware — but whatever the reason for the delay, the fact is that the Mac Pro has been 'on hiatus' for two years at this point. If you're a Mac User looking to upgrade, what are you to do in the mean time? You've got a few options. Bare Feats has recently performed a number of benchmark tests on the new 27″ 3.4GHz Core i7 iMac, with some impressive results.
First, here's CNET with an introduction to the newest 27″ iMac:
As always, you'll have to filter these findings by your own applications — performance sufficient for some of us may simply not cut it for those of us running or rendering the most hardcore of tasks — and concordantly, you may require even less brainpower of your machine than the tests performed for these benchmarks. Keep in mind that these tests were balanced between CPU and GPU-stressful activities, split right about half and half.
In their two-part test, Bare Feats pitted the late 2012 27″ iMac 3.4GHz Core i7 (with 32G RAM and a GeForce GTX 680MX GPU) against five other recent Macs in shootouts by both Apple and Adobe & Blackmagic Design — among the competitors is the 'mid 2012′ Retina display Macbook Pro and the latest (mid 2010) Mac Pro — the latter of which, by the way, still performs admirably, and even the best in some cases. In the first part of their test, Bare Feats found that the iMac 3.4GHz performed the best out of all machines in a number of tasks, including an automated Aperture export of 50 RAW stills to full-res JPEGs (CPU intensive), rendering FCPX's 'Directional Blur' effect on a 30 second 1080 ProRes 422 HQ project (GPU intensive), and a test which forced Apple Motion to RAM preview a project (in which the '12 iMac won out, able to render up to almost 41 FPS for this preview — GPU intensive, pictured above-left).
In the second test, Bare Feats found slightly different results amongst the same machines (adding an additional Mac Pro sporting an alternate GPU) running third-party Adobe and BMD tasks. The Mac Pro used excelled over the iMac in a multiprocessing benchmark in AE (CPU intensive) and noise reduction of a high-res photo in Photoshop (also CPU intensive) — but the iMac defeated the MP in rendering a 30 second Unsharp Mask (by one second of render time, CPU intensive) and Gaussian Blurring and a fast CC in Premiere, and performed at a greatly high real time FPS playback of a three-node correction in DaVinci Resolve (all GPU intensive).
BOTTOMLINE: The newest, fastest CTO iMac, the 'late 2012′ 3.4GHz Quad-Core i7 (Ivy Bridge) with the NVIDA GeForce TX 680MX, wins one out of three CPU intensive tests and five out of five GPU intensive tests. Its main rival is the Mac Pro 6-core.
Bare Feats also put the HDD, SSD, and Fusion drives available for the 27″ iMac in the running against each other, and though their findings here were a bit less surprising (the SSD was the fastest, as expected), there is always the caveat of price to go along with optimum performance. While the Fusion drives performed exceptionally as well, Bare Feats includes something to keep in mind on that score:
A FUSION REALITY CHECK: Though the Fusion Drive is impressive, just be aware that it has its limits. In a test we conducted on various Fusion and cached storage products, we found that the speed dropped dramatically if the transfer size exceeded the unused space on the flash module "fused" to the hard disk drive. In the case of the 1TB Fusion Drive, the drop in speed was triggered when we attempted to transfer 88GB of HD video. That is an extreme test and hopefully won't affect the average user.
They also recommend considering external storage options — meaning you can compromise price against storage speed if you want good performance but don't want to spring for the all-out internal drive package (no oxymoron intended).
What do you think about the tests? Might this have you springing for an iMac, rather than waiting for a new Mac Pro? Or have you stopped waiting, and either built yourself a Hackintosh or gone over to the Windows side?

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Daniel Rico on 01.6.13 @ 5:53PM
Would be great to know if those machines were all running on ssd or hd, since the transfer speed of the drive might affect the processing time
Swested on 01.6.13 @ 6:00PM
Doesn't really say much, considering the Mac Pro is basically a 4+ year old architecture. Why anyone would buy one new today is incomprehensible.
Nick on 01.6.13 @ 7:02PM
Apple opperates like a piece of shit considering how much money they have
Nick on 01.6.13 @ 7:02PM
I misspelled operates
Swested on 01.6.13 @ 7:31PM
And you misspelled "normal corporation" too. Apple-hating is like a pastime these days, isn't it?
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see where he said "normal corporation" :/
"piece of shit"
Without a doubt. It's just a company making products. You don't have to buy them, love them or hate them.
Derik on 01.6.13 @ 8:11PM
On a related note, I just figured out how to encode to ProRes on my PC! I don't see myself ever buying an Apple product at this point. They're well-designed and shiny, but I just can't justify what they're charging when I can build it myself for a fraction of the cost.
Which recipe did you use? Have you tested it cross-platform?
Swested on 01.6.13 @ 9:51PM
For desktops, I'd totally agree. But I've yet to find a notebook anywhere that even remotely approximates the build quality, weight, form factor and speed of my MBP (non-retina). I purchased it slightly used and did most of the upgrades myself, so I avoided the Apple premium.
ProRes encoding on a PC please tell.
Derik on 01.6.13 @ 11:11PM
I used ffmbc. The command-line interface was a bit daunting, but once I read through some of the documentation it wasn't hard to figure out. I haven't tested it cross-platform, but I just delivered it to a client so I REALLY hope it works! I'm sure I'll hear back if it didn't. ;)
moebius22 on 01.7.13 @ 12:22AM
You got balls.
Sounds cool!
Its prores or Dnxhd as work formats these days, isn't it?
Any links to a guide?
Derik on 01.7.13 @ 8:24PM
Here are a couple of links to the Reddit threads I started on the topic.
Update: The client loved it and was none the wiser that it was all done on a self-built PC.
moebius22 on 01.6.13 @ 8:34PM
What's the point? Adobe and Avid both run on PC, and if you're not hard up for all things Apple, you get more performance for less money on PC, plus better upgrade options.
Jules on 01.7.13 @ 4:11AM
I used the Hackintosh guide found right here on NoFilmSchool to build an editing super beast.
Before that I was leasing a new 27″ iMac, but when my Hackinstosh was complete and stable it was as good as gone. The only part I miss is the cinema display!
So, thanks Koo and the NoFilmSchool team!
Rachael on 01.11.13 @ 11:33PM
I just priced a Mac Pro at $12.000.00. Yes the zeros are correct.
I then priced the best components to build a PC. That came to just over $2,000.00.
The PC has more storage, more horse power and is faster than the upgraded MAC.
I currently own both and the both run Adobe CS6. There's no difference. I need to upgrade to begin to edit my own video work. I can but a really nice camera for the $10 grand difference.
The PC wins.
Brett on 01.6.13 @ 8:40PM
How come it doesn't have a Firewire? That's too bad…
Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 cable costs like $20.
A decade old I/O is hardly reason enough to be disappointed…
eltaurus on 01.7.13 @ 12:51AM
how Dump is it to compare new Computer with old computer. You know now ur iphone can beat computer use by nasa to launch space craft.
if you want fair competition compare it with latest dual CPU HP z800 or latest workstation.
Don't try to destroy hope for real professional who need actually power for 3D content creation from scratch.. Not just photographer / videographer who just need encoding & simple task.. and call them PRO's.
Heiko on 01.11.13 @ 6:51AM
You are missing the point: the comparison was amongst Apple products only – and because there are no newer MacPros available, they tested the old MacPro against the new iMac. Nobody said it was a "fair" test, it was just a test in the reality of what Apple delivers.
For me, Hackintosh is still the way to go! The practicality of a Mac with the flexibility of a PC. Went that way myself and I couldn't be more satisfied.
+1 – I'm editing a highlights show for broadcast on a Mac Pro right now. The only difference I notice day to day from editing on my own Hackintosh is the appearance of the box by my knee, and the extra weight in my wallet. That said, you do need half-decent IT knowledge to make it viable.
Davinci Resolve needs CUDA for . the test uses an ATI card in a Mac Pro without CUDA…
Nick on 01.7.13 @ 8:58AM
I think I'm missing something here. Why couldn't the Mac Mini run DaVinci Resolve?
Insufficient GPU power, I think.
DIYFilmSchool.net on 01.7.13 @ 10:36AM
Again with this downscaled keyboard. One of the pains in the ass about editing with an iMac is this smaller keyboard. I suppose if it's your only editing machine you could customize the layout in FCP, but it's still an extra step.
why can't you use another keyboard with an iMac?!
Tulio on 01.8.13 @ 3:29AM
Or get an extended keyboard for $20.
When I bought my MacPro 3 years ago, the iMac you mention here wasn't around. LOL.
I have no regrets whatsoever about buying a MacPro back then.
Adding extra video outputs, having plenty of Firewire 800 ports (there was no Thunderbird 3 years ago) and being able to swap hard disks and archive within minutes is a godsend.
I'll probably use it for another 3 to 4 years, depending on what happens on the codec side of things.
If I had to buy a new computer today, I might be tempted by an iMac, but I'd still worry about having everything in the same enclosure. That's fine for a family computer, but for a workstation I like to be able to access parts in an easy way.
Second hand MacPros are really cheap nowadays too, a lot cheaper than either building one yourself or buying a new iMac.
Arnold C. on 01.7.13 @ 2:30PM
Will S on 01.7.13 @ 5:09PM
Looks to me like the Mac Pro used in this article wasn't even a top spec Mac Pro. Hex core versus twelve core, very different.
Also no Nvidia GPU installed, no evidence of a raid installed, no SSD as a boot disc? If you get a Mac Pro (especially for Adobe and Da Vinci) you should really install all those things!
Nikki on 01.7.13 @ 5:34PM
So I did a "CMD+F" on here and didn't find the most aggravating word regarding these computers: GLARE. If there is any source of light in your room, it's going to show up on that screen and turn into a mirror. I would never seriously color grade on these for that reason alone. Forget the performance numbers, when you can't see serious color shifts because all you can see is the broccoli stuck in your teeth, there is a real problem.
Will S on 01.7.13 @ 7:05PM
True, but then the iMac's monitor would (or should) only ever be your GUI monitor anyway…
Nikki on 01.8.13 @ 11:59PM
Yes, a confidence monitor should be used. The iMacs I'm referring to are used for building tutorials, not broadcast work. That's what my workstation and confidence monitor are for. Even still, it's difficult to see my UI keyframes, and generally anything. It's frustratingly blinding.
The new iMacs have a lot less glare…
Nikki on 01.8.13 @ 11:50PM
Yes, I believe they state about 75% less. Would still prefer a matte IPS panel. To each their own I suppose.
Nikki on 01.10.13 @ 2:51PM
Looks like I need to eat my shirt on this one. We just got a new iMac in and I sat the two next to each other earlier. It's a major improvement on glare. I haven't worked on it yet, but the difference is quite dramatic.
Andrius Simutis on 01.7.13 @ 9:24PM
Apples and oranges.
The iMac is a nice machine, but I priced out an iMac as a workstation and even though these days more functions can be handled with peripherals (like video monitoring and disc burning) the MacPro had serious advantages when you consider that you can create an internal RAID and install an SSD (even as a fifth drive in the optical bay), swap graphics cards, and add RAM easily. A cheap eSATA card and dock lets me do quick backups of huge amounts of video to other HDs for a fraction of what a single Thunderbolt drive would cost.
The iMac just wasn't going to cut it once you consider that the graphics card is not upgradeable. After Effects ray tracing 3D needs at least a GT570 which thankfully can be had fairly cheaply.
After weighing the options I picked up a used MacPro 4,1 8core and made a couple upgrades with RAM, SSD, and graphics for less than a comparable iMac would have cost.
The MacPro still wins for customizability and flexibility. Wouldn't have it any other way and hopefully the new MacPro that Apple's CEO promised shows up soon.
That's exactly what I did and I feel the same way. You can find used 4,1 Mac Pros for $1500 and then load em up!
Brendan on 01.7.13 @ 10:46PM
I just got my 27″ iMac a week ago. It's the fully specced model with internal SSD. It was pricey ($4,300) but I figured, even if Apple releases a new Mac Pro later this year, it will be significantly more expensive. Where I am at right now, I don't think I need quite THAT much power.
All that said, this new iMac preforms amazingly. Coming from a 2010 MPB that was fully upgraded, there is a HUGE difference. Could I have gone cheaper with a Hackintosh? No doubt, but I'm not savvy enough to troubleshoot all the issues that might arise, nor do I want to spend the time figuring it out when I could be creating content. Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm willing to pay a little bit more to have something I know will just WORK like I need it to.
Tulio on 01.8.13 @ 3:31AM
I see the comments here and I have to agree that for some geek people, moving to a PC or a Hackintosh makes sense. BUT most people just want something that WORKS straight out of the box, doesn't cost you time with setting up, firewall / viruses etc.
For that the iMac 27″ is a godsend. It just works, it is a production machine, not just a PC.
I have a 2008 Intel Mac Pro with dual quad cores and am hoping that Apple doesn't abandon this market. I want the tower form factor and configurability. I use all four drive bays and also have an external 8 TB array as my main video storage. I really hope that Apple comes up with a new Mac Pro soon. I have the budget and my Mac Pro is due for swap out. I can't believe that Apple would think that iMacs can replace the Mac Pro. I have a 27″ at home and do some editing on it, but I need a real workhorse at work and the Mac Pro form is it.
Razor on 01.8.13 @ 4:47AM
Using a Mac for desktop development will soon become a dead-end road. Despite Apple's tiny surge in popularity, Windows still overwhelmingly dominates the market* at 91% vs. Mac OS X at 7%.
*Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
This test isn't fair to the Mac Pro. Anyone running Premiere or Resolve heavily is using a nVidia card, not the stock Radeon card. I bought a used 4,1 Mac Pro, loaded it up with 64GB of RAM, SSD, internal RAID and a GTX 570. Even though its 3 years old, I would rather have this machine for my work in Resolve, After Effects and Premiere, than a new iMac.
Paul Larche on 01.9.13 @ 7:59PM
I just got the new iMac comes with nVidia GeForceGTX 680 upgrade option with Cuda to drive the Mercury playback engine. I don't use Resolve, but Premiere and AE work beautifully with the new system.
Toobs on 01.10.13 @ 5:28PM
How can you upgrade the graphics card to a GTX680? These are not made for mac.
Can you just install PC graphic card in a mac and they work now?
Paul Larche on 01.11.13 @ 8:55PM
The new iMac 27″ can be configured with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB of GDDR5 memory when you buy it. The upgrade costs $150.
How does these new iMac's handle with heat, dust and screen temperature?
Considering that components are now even closer to the screen.
Heiko on 01.11.13 @ 7:04AM
I generally don't like the iMac as a work and render machine. The case and cooling might be sufficient, but barely so. I have seen a few HDDs die in iMacs because they get pretty warm, plus you always have to move the spinning drives when you move the monitor.
The iMac looks good and is certainly a good computer for a lot of things, but as a work horse in video editing I need a desktop computer with flexibility and perfect cooling. I mean I have seen iMacs rendering video for a few hours, and they do get pretty hot. The cooling is sufficient, but just about that – the temperatures in that thing aren't so funny for the hardware when you push your machine a lot, they will definitely die earlier, than well cooled desktop parts.
Thunderbolt connectivity on the iMac is flexible, but it still means I need to connect everything externally. I know an editor who works professionally with an iMac and there are always like 5 external drives connected to it, so the space she needs on her desk is actually more than if she had a desktop box under her desk with most of these drives internally.
Then you can't change anything except the RAM. Even switching the switching harddrive is not easy and takes like a whole day. With my desktop I have the same thing done in less than 15 minutes, minus the fear of destroying the display.
With a desktop, I can change the graphics card in 2 years and get a major performance boost for just a few hundred bucks – also not possible with the iMac.
Heiko on 01.11.13 @ 7:13AM
…I forgot to mention that there are a lot of desktop computer parts that you can re-use for the next machine.
When you build a desktop PC and want to upgrade in 3 years, you can keep the power supply, keep the case and fans, keep the optical drive (if you have one), keep the SSDs and HDDs…
A lot of parts can be used longer than just one generation, but a good case lasts even longer. My main desktop PC is still in a 11 year old case – it will now be retired, but it has been the home of at least 5 different systems starting with some single core Athlon in 2001!
Now that is not only saving you a lot of money, but also saves a lot of resources :)
Joe C on 01.11.13 @ 2:03PM
The iMac is basically a high end laptop, without the portability.
I would love to see a comparison between a loaded iMac and the HP Z1, which offfers a Xeon cpu opption and up gradable graphics, including support for the QuadroFX.
Paul Jay on 01.25.13 @ 10:43AM
Add a 2nd DVI monitor, Add Thunderbolt Blackmagic or AJA HD SDI/HDMI I/O and your MacPro is gone.
ha who what to give away ther i mac i want one

PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush presents the fourth of five key matchups in the Packers' Week Eight game this Sunday against the Chargers in San Diego.
Packers wide receivers vs. Chargers secondary
A high-scoring game could be in the cards Sunday with the Chargers' secondary having its share of struggles this season, similar to the Packers. San Diego's defense had been deficient across the board when it comes to forcing turnovers (only seven takeaways in the first six games) before registering four takeaways in the loss to Kansas City Monday night (a pair of interceptions by Pro Bowl FS Eric Weddle, and one fumble recovery apiece for CBs Quentin Jammer and Dante Hughes). But against a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers who has thrown only three interceptions all season, interceptions could be hard to come by Sunday for the Chargers DBs, who will have their hands full defending a well-rounded Green Bay WR corps with four of the top five receivers (Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and rookie Randall Cobb), gaining at least 16.1 yards per catch.
Nelson has gotten the most bang out of his receptions, gaining a team-leading 19.4 yards per catch with four TDs, while Jennings, who remains Rodgers' primary target, is on pace to match or break his career highs in receptions (80 in 2008) and yards (1,292 in '08). Veteran Donald Driver is averaging only 8.2 yards on 13 catches, but he remains a legitimate threat after getting some badly needed rest during the bye week.
Weddle, who was signed to huge new deal this offseason, is the best player in the San Diego secondary. He is an athletic, instinctive, physical ballhawk with 4.49 speed. Jammer is slowing down a bit at the age of 32, but he's a proven, physical bump-and-run specialist who can still run. After getting burned by Jets WR Plaxico Burress for three TDs, former No,. 1 pick Antoine Cason was replaced last Monday night on the right corner by second-round draft pick Marcus Gilchrist, who got outjumped for a TD by Jonathan Baldwin in the loss to K.C. At strong safety, six-year veteran Steve Gregory has replaced the brittle Bob Sanders, who is out with another season-ending injury. Gregory is tough and alert but lacks range.

Last August we stayed at Edmund Babler St Park at Wilwood, MO. It had electricity hook up. Don't remember much of the place but I do know we had no complaints! Google it. We used it as a base and visited many sites from there. Enjoy!

You could look at this site:
I have not stayed there and know nothing about the park beyond what I have seen on the Internet.

We stayed a Babler and it was close to many things that we were doing. Nice campground.

We stay consistently at the Red Barn Rendezvous RV Park in Edwardsville. (East side of St. Louis -- suburb) when we travel into that area.
Day and time we stay there is dependent on which direction we travel -- causes us to plan our trip "around" St. Louis rather than through. anything to get away from the Traffic.
It's just one exit north of the I-55 - I-270(I-70) junction. Easy to get to. Look at the map first. Need to swing wide to get in the gate (our rig is 43+ AND a toad long) .
While there make sure you go eat at a restaurant called Andrea's (need reservations) RV Park has their phone number. We think they have the best steak we have ever had. (I order the large Filet -- so I can have left overs) makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Anyway Red Barn is next to a farm and there is plenty of walking room for you and your pooch.
Good luck

It is the season of giving, and a Champlin, Minn., family did just that in a big way on Monday when they delivered a truckload of pop tabs as a way of saying thanks to the Ronald McDonald House.
The Brown family spent time at the house while their young son was in the hospital. Noah Brown was born with a cyst in his brain, but he's a healthy, happy boy now, and his parents say the help they received during his treatment gave them much-needed peace of mind.
"It was so peaceful to know we were down the hall from our son, especially in such a scary time with him being so little," Megan Brown said.
Once they were all back home, the Browns wanted to give back to the organization that helped them so much. They decided they would try to fill the family's truck bed with many pop tabs as they could collect in the next 6 months, and they had help from across the country after the hashtag #PopTabsforNoah took off on Twitter.
"Talk about reach out and touch somebody," Don Brown said. "This has been taken to a whole new level."
Bags of pop tabs arrived from Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas, with parcels arriving daily in the mail.
On Monday morning, Don Brown loaded up his truck with 1,000,000 pop tabs -- which will bring in about $500 to help buy meals, toys and other necessities to help those who will rely on the Ronald McDonald House in the future.

MobileInTent is a creative production of Ann Schnake, in collaboration with Ana Labastida, Bianca Cabrera, and other artists who push boundaries between art and ideas. We are building a pop up visual and performative art space, traveling to public sites in the Bay Area as
performance site
meeting place
research platform
In September 2013 MobileInTent began its travels to four East Bay sites, in a space that articulates artful interactions and big ideas. The first series of exhibitions of MobileInTent focused on rising waters, future visioning and gentle erosion of collective dissociation from the natural world, with installations as visual vignettes, sculptural works, video projections and performances. We are interested in the affects of obscure small acts paired with extraordinary beauty, and how generosity and shifting boundaries might cause subtle shifts of perception. For that reason, we will use our space in different ways over the next year: philosophical dialogues, skyped interchanges with artists in Serbia, Egypt and Mexico, morning tea and yoga, whittling projects for new and old wood carvers, a few meals, talks and conversation will all be a part of the tent.
As the core of the project, we are artists who want to work in mobile spaces that reflect a feeling of precariousness associated with temporary forms of sustenance, and a domesticity gone feral. We are remembering traditions of traveling artists, from a desert theater caravan to a time traveling medicine show, gathering audiences in public sites with speculative logic. We are interested in possibility of true site-specificity, linking idea and place and defying usual spatial and perceptual limitations. Perhaps we can build means of seeing our human, animal and geophysical conditions in fresh view…

Tipton —
With an expected 850 new jobs in the Chrysler Tipton Transmission plant on the horizon, the Indiana Department of Transportation will be creating a new interchange at U.S. 31 and Ind. 28.
Earlier this year, the Chrysler Group announced it was investing $162 million in the vacant factory at the intersection to assemble 9-speed transmissions for Dodge and Jeep models. Operations at the 800,000-square-foot facility are expected to begin by the end of 2014.
INDOT announced Tuesday that it will construct a new interchange at an estimated cost of $17 million, with the work expected to start in 2015.
"We will make Indiana the state that works by supporting economic development through infrastructure improvements," Gov. Mike Pence said in a press release. "The new U.S. 31 and Ind. 28 exit will accommodate increased commuter and truck traffic while advancing ongoing efforts to remove stoplights on the highway between Indianapolis and South Bend."
The new Kokomo Corridor that is rerouting U.S. 31 around Kokomo to the east is expected to open by the end of the year. U.S. 31 will be a limited-access highway through Howard County once the Kokomo Corridor is completed.
Tipton officials have been working with INDOT regarding the need for intersection improvements for a year.
Tipton Mayor Don Havens said the construction of an overpass will be either at the intersection for U.S. 31 or Ind. 28. He said it is likely the work will impact businesses already located at the intersection.
"This news portends further growth for this critical economic development area," Havens said. "Our residents will be connected to Hamilton and Howard counties in a very meaningful and constructive way."
With Tipton County currently working on the adoption of a new comprehensive plan, Havens said it was imperative the northern three townships be included in planning an interchange in that part of the county.
"The county has to take the current information and include it in the comprehensive plan." Havens said.
The Tipton County Commissioners and INDOT have an agreement to construct a new road, 560 West, that will link Ind. 28 and Division Road to the east of the Chrysler plant.
The intent is to divert truck traffic to Division Road around the city of Tipton and provide access to U.S. 31 at the intersection.
Steve Edson, director of the Tipton County Plan Commission, said the draft proposal of the comprehension plan anticipated an interchange at U.S. 31 and Ind. 28.
"It's a significant development that the interchange will be completed," he said.
Edson said the comprehensive plan will have to address whether Tipton County supports U.S. 31 as a limited-access highway through the county. He said local officials are hopeful INDOT will approve a second interchange at Division Road, which is the preferred route to the Northgate Industrial Park.
"If, for design reasons, the state doesn't want an interchange at Division Road, personally, I would advocate for a second interchange at some point north of Ind. 28 in the county," he said.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/20/2014Great service and divinel food. The atmosphere is very relaxing.Special Features:
- Typical Back Bay restaurantAuroraDined on 8/20/2014I had the salmon tartare for appetizer, it was a little bit salty and very acidic in taste; Grilled salmon for entree, which was pretty good; then I had vanilla ice cream for dessert, that's was the best part of the whole meal. Overall, I rate it 8 out of 10. 1 point off for the salmon tartar, and 1 point off for the noisy level, and tables were too close to each other.Special Features:
- jackVIPDined on 8/19/2014A busy restaurant week and Mistral is so popular it can't keep up with the volume and while foood was good it did not measure up to standards. When asked to substitute vanilla ice cream for buttermilk I was told that this could not be done.....ridiculous! I just don't like the flavor of buttermilk.......Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014Love this restaurant. It never fails to live up to the high standards of good food,well prepared, served professionally in a warm atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- h2h2Dined on 8/19/2014Everything was terrific, would've been 5 stars in all categories, except that the party across from us had a baby with them (between 1 and 2 yrs old) that fussed a lot throughout the meal. I found it distracting in such an upscale place (it wouldn't have bothered me at all at Applebee's). To single out one notable menu item: the chilled corn soup with crab, avocado and jalapeno oil was truly outstanding.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous...!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014Attentive, caring service. I would call this gourmet comfort food, truly satisfying in portion and presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dine Out Boston disappointingMattDined on 8/18/2014Went for Dine Out Boston (aka Restaurant Week) and found the food to be a little disappointing. Appetizers (tuna tartare and the chilled corn soup with crab and jalapeno oil) were very good. But the mains left a lot to be desired. The pork dish was basically a breaded chop and was very tough. The sirloin was prepared so blandly; I could have grilled it at home. We've been to Mistral many times (both Restaurant Week and not) but this time around was definitely a let down.
- LoveOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/18/2014I truly love Mistral, and am their number one fan for brunch. The appetizers and desserts were delicious, as well as most entrees, but all three steaks ordered in our meal were dry and harsh, even though we ordered medium rare. Yes, it looked pink, but there was 0 juice in it and it was just hard to swallow. Wishing I got the pork Milanese my sister got :( but regardless I love the gem and everything else..just not the steaks. It looked so good before cutting and eating it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- met my high expectationsdancingshrimpDined on 8/18/2014I went to Mistral as part of the DineOut Boston promotion. I was impressed with the menu selection and the cold corn soup was AMAZING. I also truly appreciated the service. I've been to other high end restaurants that didn't seem to appreciated their "DineOut" customers as much. Me and my guest received comfortable, attentive, service.Special Features:
- Beautiful restaurant and foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014I had the Gnocchi with Lobster and Summer Corn Sauce, the Cornish Game Hen, and the Profiteroles with Vanilla Ice Cream. The gnocchi and the profiteroles were beyond amazing - especially the gnocchi, I don't think I've had better in my life! The hen was good but not as amazing as the app or the dessert and I really wish they cut the portion in half. One hen was simply too much for me, but I honestly did not want to bring it back home.Special Features:
- PERFECTIONPrinceVIPDined on 8/17/2014It is the best place to go for "dine out Boston" aka restaurant week. What a deal. The menu is great, the food is excellent, the portions are big but you do not fill over full on your way home and the service is perfection. I LOVE this place. Even without the special menu it is a must to go there....MiSTRAL IS BETTER THAN EVER...Special Features:
- DLBMMDBdontwannaDined on 8/17/2014Disappointed with menu selections, proximity of adjacent tables, food good but not outstandingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchBubblesDined on 8/17/2014Excellent food - delicious flavours - great service and lovely ambianceSpecial Features:
- Mistral still Tops in Boston!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Mistral is and always has been a must go to restaurant in Boston!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food. The rest is averageGeorgeVIPDined on 8/16/2014The food was prepared and presented meticulously and the result was superb flavor and texture (duck, corn soup, lobster app). The trio of chocolate dessert was outstanding. The dining room is wedding reception-style tables in a big rectangular room with a very high ceiling - - boring, cold, and loud. Service was knowledgeable but unenthusiastic and a bit slow and sparse. The wine list is pretentious, with no selections less than $60. The bar also is cold and uninviting. Foodies who want more than just food will not like it. The very poor ambiance makes it not a good place for a date or guests. Noise is loud (not pleasingly energetic).Special Features:
- Very good but noth worth the priceDenizDined on 8/12/2014Went for anniversary dinner, got a pinot grigio bottle, classic escargot, game hen, swordfish, and desert sampler. The wine was slightly overpriced for its brand/year/quality, escargot and hen were amazing, swordfish was good but not amazing, the desert sampler was disappointing. The profiterole in the desert menu is a fake; ice cream is not the proper stuffing for this desert and the dough was stale. My wife makes better chocolate mousse at home, and the berry-sauce and creme brule were ok. Escargot and hen are highly recommended. Don't bother with deserts, nothing special. Wines need to be marked down. We had much better bottle-wines for 2/3 of the price at other places around Boston and vicinity at comparably high quality venues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely wonderful!!!JakiesMomDined on 8/10/2014From the moment you walk in to you leave, Mistral is a Boston classic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, Expensive WineMayoplanVIPDined on 8/10/2014Although Open Table says Mistral is "French", the menu is more of a Mediterranean cuisine. All good, but seeing pizza and French cooking together is a bit disturbing. However, thdbusiness meeting I had went well. I ordered the grilled Cornish Hen. My wife ordered the pasta, while my business associate ordered the Salmon. All good. Even the ravioli appetizer and Cesar Salad were big hits (even, with white anchovies). The service was superb and the prices are moderately high. Although Mistral had a great selection of wines, very few were under $60. Very unreachable for a reasonable customer. The glasses of wine were very pricey also. The food is worth the visit, but you'll be limited on a reasonable wine selection. Reservation suggestedSpecial Features:
- First time here for brunchlarryDined on 8/10/2014Mistral has always been a favorite but this was our first time for brunch. It did not disappoint! We all loved our food and the portions were big. Maybe too big. The doughnuts are a must try. Cannot wait to get there.Special Features:
- Excellent, as alwaysRichGirlDined on 8/9/2014Mistral is my favorite restaurant in Boston. The food is always perfect, and the service is excellent, as well. It's a reliable "can't miss". Thank you, Mistral!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine french dining in BostonMicahBVIPDined on 8/8/2014Mistral came highly recommended as a top restaurant in Boston from multiple sources. It did not disappoint. Well-paced service, nice ambiance, excellent dishes. Deep wine list. Entrée variety for everyone. We had a group of six and needed multiple credit cards for the check--no problem. I had a huge prime sirloin, but was jealous of the duck and swordfish dishes at my table too. This is not an inexpensive spot--but if you are looking for a top flight restaurant in downtown Boston, this is the place.Special Features:
- Great meal in BostonpgpdjdDined on 8/8/2014The food was excellent. Everyone in our party was very happy with their choices. Would have loved to try the desserts but we did not have any room since portion sizes are large. Only negative was the restaurant was a little noisy but it was a Friday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kenS@providencekenSinRIVIPDined on 8/8/2014Absolutely the best restaurant in Boston. The perfect meal is: Tuna Tartare appetizer, Dover Sole, a side of Mistral Fries. Our server Edwin does a consistently perfect job.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014FANTASTIC food and wine, waiter was so incredibly personable and knowledgable, you are treated like first class the second you cross the threshold. Will definitely go back...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fabulous experienceSassyChemistDined on 8/6/2014My mom and I went here on a recommendation from a local living nearby. Boy did we get an unexpected surprise. From the moment we arrived, we were treated as special guests. The service was impeccable, food delicious, and atmosphere wonderful. They had the best escargot I've ever had: tender, juicy, delicate flavor. The creme brulee was also excellent.Special Features:
- Years of great!IamenglishDined on 8/5/2014Very consistant! Always good! The staff is attentive, the wine list exrtensive, the choices exemplary so my wife and I couldnt be happierSpecial Features:

- All around excellence!CindyVIPDined on 8/1/2014Food and service was excellent! Cod special with pesto was so flavorful. Peach, creme anglais,sorbet, pound cake, and crunchy crumble was decadent.Special Features:
- First class mealJJssVIPDined on 8/1/2014we had a first class meal at Mistral. The service and food was first rate, though not particularly creative. The room was pretty loud, but the scene was definitely funSpecial Features:
- Mistral - Fine Boston DiningRhino34VIPDined on 7/31/2014Mistral was a blur of activity - we got to sit near one of the staging areas for the food just before it was served - this afforded us a great opportunity to see the dishes people were ordering - it also made us quite hungry - the service was top notch and the food was wonderful - halibut and salmon were the main course choices - the chilled corn/lobster soup was a wonderul starter. A great way to start this visit to Boston. Thank you to the staff at Mistral for a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:
- Always good2food2funDined on 7/29/2014I have been to Mistral many times. The food is consistently good with inventive dishes and good service. My one complaint is that I thought the wine list was overpriced. The restaurant can also be noisy - so it is a good place for larger parties.Special Features:
- Just better than perfectDrmrosenDined on 7/29/2014Four of us from a business meeting went for dinner and had a great meal and drink and great service. Can't wait to go to boston again to enjoy againSpecial Features:
- RogerDined on 7/26/2014The menu items my wife and I selected were exquisitely prepared. The high ceilings and arched windows in the dining area provides an open and uncrowned atmosphere while at the same time an intimate and private dining experience through excellent food and focused service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointeddineoutVIPDined on 7/26/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday dinner at Mistral. I read a lot of mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. The low ratings on Yelp reviews were quite right. We tried the popular tuna tar tar and you cannot even taste the tuna but a lot of sesame seed oil. It was not bad but it could be better. The duck that is so famous was large in portion but lacked taste. In fact my husband did not even finish it and he did not want to take the rest home either. I had the $44 steak and it too lacked flavor. The dessert special was refreshing and good. It is a lot of money for the quality of food. We will not be going back. BTW on a Saturday night, the restaurant was not full. Perhaps Mistral was great once upon a time...
- AmazingRestaurantExtravaganzagaDined on 7/25/2014Absolutely amazing. The food, service, ambience all came together for a wonderful dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tasty food and convenient locationchg1Dined on 7/25/2014Tasty food though quite pricey, and noise level a bit more than desired. We appreciated the staff relocating us to another table when we expressed a desire for more privacy and enjoyed a special occasion with family.Special Features:
- A FavoriteWineFoodieDined on 7/21/2014While there are so many great dining choices in Boston, Mistral is one of my favorites. The food is superb, excellent wine list and attentive staff.

By Jill Harmacinski
---- — LAWRENCE — Saying he is ill with cancer and has a blood clot, retired Lawrence police officer William Hale, who is accused of stealing nearly $70,000 from an elderly woman, is trying to get court dates postponed due to sickness.
On April 11, Hale is scheduled for criminal arraignment on larceny and forgery charges in Lawrence District Court. Tomorrow, Hale is also expected to appear in Boston before the state's appeals court.
Hale is accused of stealing from the late Elizabeth B. Lacey, a woman known to friends and surrogate family members as "Aunt Betty."
Late last week, however, Hale, 77, submitted a doctor's note and motion to the state appeals court asking for a 30-day delay "due to grave cause."
The 33-year police veteran said he was diagnosed with cancer late last year, has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment for three months, has been hospitalized three times, and was recently diagnosed with a blood clot that makes walking difficult for him.
Hale attached a note from his physician Dr. Vartan Yeghiazarians who said in his "best medical opinion" he feels Hale should be excused from the appeals court appearance tomorrow and his April 11 arraignment.
"Mr. Hale is still recovering from his hospitalization and also developed thrombosis of his lower leg as a result," Yeghiazarians wrote in the letter dated March 26. He said Hale has a follow-up appointment with him on April 11 and they will reassess his condition then.
Hale was previously represented by attorney John Hodges, who died last summer. Reached for comment yesterday, Hale said he "wasn't sure" if he would hire a new lawyer. He confirmed he's been sick and hospitalized for the past several months, thanked a reporter for calling to inquire about his health and declined further comment.
In Lawrence District Court, Hale is charged with uttering, forgery and larceny over $250. The thefts and forgery Hale is accused of occurred between May 3, 2007 and Sept. 5, 2007.
Lacey died at age 89 on May 1, 2007. At the time of her death, Hale was named beneficiary of Lacey's will - a shock to her close friends and surrogate family who later contested the will in probate court. They said Lacey distrusted and disliked Hale because he badgered her for money.
Judge Mary Ann Sahagian threw out that will, however, and approved an earlier will leaving everything to James Wareing, Wareing's mother Joan McGuire and his two twin sisters, Denise Clegg and Diane Forrester, all Lawrence natives.
Hale then appealed Sahagian's decision, prompting tomorrow's hearing.
Both wills were prepared by a longtime acquaintance of Hale, lawyer Robert Kelley, who was previously the Northern Essex Register of Deeds. Kelley and Hale were also drinking buddies, according to court papers.
In both the probate and civil trials after Lacey's death, Hale repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination when asked if he cashed and deposited checks belonging to her. Sahagian referred Hale's behavior to the District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's office.
In late January, a state trooper filed the forgery and larceny charges against Hale. He's accused of cashing $2,850 of Lacey's pension checks and almost entirely draining a checking account that contained $66,000.
Lacey owned a home at 418 Andover St., which was worth $175,000 at the time of her death. She had another $170,000 in her savings and checking accounts.
In April 2012, in a civil action, Superior Court Judge Timothy Feeley placed an attachment on Hale's 7 Meadow St. home to recoup money he took from Lacey.
Hale is the son of a man Lacey dated in the 1950s. His relationship with Lacey and the dispute over the wills was exposed in a July 24, 2011 Sunday Eagle-Tribune article.
Bryan Kerman, the Methuen attorney representing the Wareing and McGuire families, declined comment for this story.

The Miami Heat take on the Harlem Shake (Video)
- 8:42 pm Thursday, February 28th, 2013 by Post Staff
While running up a 12-game winning streak and dropping jaws with regular pre-game dunk contests, the Heat have found time to take on the Harlem Shake.
And unlike the Kansas basketball team, NFL Draft prospects, and ESPN's College GameDay crew, this version stands above the rest.
It has the Birdman, LeBron as a king, Dwyane Wade wearing a bear head, Chris Bosh doing whatever it is he's doing, an NBA "glue guy" posing as a horsetronaut … better to just check out the video after the jump.

Admitted Master of Public Policy (MPP) students: The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy is pleased to offer the David Bohnett Foundation Leadership and Public Service Fellowship, a competitive fellowship that offers two years of tuition support and a funded internship in Detroit.

Two fellows will intern at the City of Detroit Mayor's Office, working directly with a group executive on the mayor's policy priorities. New this year, a third Bohnett Fellow will intern with the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, a non-profit organization that works closely with the City of Detroit to support existing businesses and to bring new companies and investments to the city.
The Fellowship:

- Available to full-time, incoming Master of Public Policy (MPP) students. (Dual-degree students must be admitted for the fall semester 2014 and start their studies at the Ford School in the same semester.)
- Students must complete the internship requirement—10 weeks of full-time work (40 hours/week)—during the summer following the first year at the Ford School. Prior to completing the internship, students must be full-time MPP students in the Ford School for two semesters. Students must also return for at least one semester.
- Strong preference is given to applicants with a demonstrated interest in and commitment to the City of Detroit.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills are required.
- Previous experience in local government, public service, social activism, or economic development desired.

"The students who participate in these programs have the opportunity to improve local communities and learn from significant assignments in the public sector."

PEORIA, Ill -- Peoria City Code Enforcement workers are asking the Mayor to uphold his promise of a transparent process while the city looks into possibly outsourcing their jobs.
Ahead of Monday night's city council meeting, union workers and community members, again, rallied against the idea to outsource about 20 Code enforcement jobs to another agency.
Tim Lavelle, Staff Representative with AFSCME Council 31 asked the Mayor to stay true to his comments, to have public discussions before the city council votes on the issue. The Mayor said, that indeed would happen.
"All we're asking for is for all interested parties to have an opportunity to speak their minds so that they'd have the best information available to make their decision," said Lavelle.
Mayor Ardis said, "There's been a lot of information floating that the decision has been made, it's a done deal, it's over. Folks, we're just beginning. I just want to ensure everyone that the discussion will be full, it will be open, it will be transparent and the decision won't be made until everyone has had an opportunity to express their concerns."
There is no word on when those discussions could take place.
Monday night, the Council also approved Crittenton Centers receive more than $285,000 in Southtown TIF money for renovation projects.
The Council also voted to move their regularly scheduled April 9th meeting to Monday April 8th due to the election.

MIAMI (AP) -- Giancarlo Stanton hit his first homer since coming off the disabled list, a two-run drive with two outs in the eighth inning that lifted the Miami Marlins to a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
With Juan Pierre on first, Stanton connected on the first pitch from Jim Henderson (2-2), sending a drive over the wall in left-center. It was his fourth home run this year. He was activated from the DL on Monday.
Chad Qualls (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Steve Cishek a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
Derek Dietrich had a two-run homer for Miami, which has won three of four.
The Brewers took a 4-3 lead in the seventh when Yuniesky Betancourt tripled in a run to tie it before scoring the go-ahead run on pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett's suicide squeeze.

I'll tell you what, I'll outline what happened AGAIN for you ..... tomorrow .......
The story of Olafthestalker:Olaf got so mad at a gun control discussion on a football message board that he left the board and researched me online. He did this because in his depraved little mind he thought he would come back to The Cove and post a comment in a gun thead showing that he knew my identity and that this would run me off from the Cove.Olaf denied all of this at first BUT has since ADMITTED under duress that he researched my identity online. That makes Olafthe stalker an ADMITTED liar. He has not bene brave enough though to admit WHY he did all this? He just cant own up to the fact that he researched my identity to try and intimidate me into leaving the Cove. If there was some other reason for the research, he would just say it . . . and yet NOTHING
Quote from: VinBucFan on September 24, 2013, 09:34:31 PMADMITTED LIAR well admitting it is half the battle, isn't that what they say about alcoholics. maybe there is hope for you yet

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - Federal prosecutors say two men from Georgia have been sentenced for defrauding several retail businesses nationwide out of hundreds of thousands of dollars through identity theft and wire fraud.
U.S. Attorney Stephanie A. Finley said Tuesday that U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik sentenced Derrick Hartfield, of Smyrna, Ga., to seven years in prison and Rico Carty Clemons, of Riverdale, Ga., received 10 months behind bars. Both men also were ordered to pay $14,869 in restitution.
According to evidence presented at the May plea hearing, Hartfield and Clemons admitted using illegally obtained retail store gift cards and applied for credit/debit cards using other peoples' identities.
Hartfield told law enforcement officers he may have obtained about $1 million since 2005 as a result of the scheme.

Cold weather forces adjustments in Family Fun Day
In anticipation of colder weather on Saturday the Gering Kiwanis Club will be harvesting more pumpkin from our patch in order to provide a better sales environment for participants in Saturday's Family Fun Day at FARM.
Gering Kiwanis club member Rick Myers says over 200 pumpkins were harvested earlier this week to be decorated and sold but more pumpkins will now be available for those who do not want to venture into the pumpkin patch, which will still be open for picking off the vine.
All activities will continue as planned. However, if it is too wet the quarter dive in the large hay stack may be eliminated.
The corn maze, pedal tractor course will still be outside but everything else including pumpkin decorating, the toilet paper toss, bean collages and Scottsbluff High FCCLA will offer face painting will be moved inside.
The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Farm And Ranch Museum west of Gering.
Admission is $3 per car and pumpkins will be sold for $3. Lunch will be available on site as will slices of homemade pie.
