BW Honeywell GasAlert MicroClip XL Multi-Gas Monitor, MCXL-XWHM-Y-NA (Video)
Hi, this is Rick Pedley and welcome to PK Safety. Today we're going to talk about the BW MCXL 4 Gas Confined Space Gas Detector. This is our best selling 4 gas detector by far. Very easy to use, very robust and trouble free. It's an update from the old MC2 and it gives you great battery life, up to 18 hours. This thing just has the one button operation. One button, you turn the thing on, just hold it. It's going to test itself. They have the vibration, the noise, and the sound.
It going to know that this has gone off and then it's going to go through a self test. This takes about 15 seconds, where it's checking the sensors, checking the battery, making sure the thing's all good. Along with the monitor in the box, you're going to get the manual quick start guide CD-ROM with expanded information. On the backside we're going to see the calibration certificate, that's going to have all the information about the when's and the how's and so forth. Every 180 days you do that.
The AC adapter, this plugs into any wall outlet and attaches to the instrument. Then the calibration adapter, this fits over the sensors and allows you to apply the gas to the sensors when you're calibrating or bumping instrument. We always recommend that you bump test the instrument so to make sure it's working perfectly. Then every 180 days or 6 months we're going to calibrate the unit. You can do this yourself or we offer that service at PK safety. Easy product to use, easy product to own. If you have any questions about this or any other safety product, please give us a call or visit us online at PKSafety.com. Thank you.

- Product worked very well, Review by Jay R.
Product worked very well, i found it difficult to calibrate, but it does work for the confined spaces that we utilize. It would have been nice to have a better description of what the operations available on the O2 sensor were. Other than that it is a very good product for the money, we will see how easy it is to calibrate in the future. Thank you.

- Simple and Reliable Review by Erik A.
We purchased these to help protect our field guys working in and around oil well sites. The units are simple to use, reliable and function good in the outdoor conditions we use them in. The only minor downside is the gas filters can be saturated quite easily. The items were shipped promptly and had the best prices.

- Very Cost Effective Purchase Review by Wilbur S.
Ordered the Honeywell 4-Gas Monitor with the auto charging adapter for personal use on a major utilities' pipeline and tunnel projects in Colorado. Unit arrived quickly by UPS and has been found to be useful as a lightweight personal backup for confined spaces. An added advantage is the calibration due date feature and the certified factory calibration. It was a very cost effective purchase and will be recommended to project associates. Wilbur S. SME, AEG

- As always, a reliable product Review by Derek from Tulsa,OK
Electrical contractor that works in refineries, transfer stations and around other chemicals in paper industry. This is by far the easiest detector for our guys to use in the field, it is compact, rugged, and light weight.

- Absolutely Essential For My Inspectors Review by Nick B.
These BW Honeywell Gas Alert Micro Clip XT 4-Gas Monitors (MC2-XWHM-Y-NA) are absolutely essential to maintain the safety of my natural gas pipeline inspectors. The calibration is good for 6 months and PK Safety (through GasSniffer) makes great haste in re-calibration.

- Very happy with product Review by Nicole Z.
I recently purchased a BW Honeywell Gas Alert Micro Clip XT 4-Gas Monitor. This will be used by our shop guys. We wanted something that they were familiar with and that was easy to use. It arrived in a short period of time and came packaged nicely. Overall we are very happy with the product!

- Great for our department Review by Keith T.
Both units are extremely easy to use and calibrate. We love the small size and light weight of the units. They seem very sensitive and alert very quickly. So far our department is very satisfied with the purchase.

- First Rate Company Review by Sid Fernandez
Product was in stock and available to ship same day with next day air option. Pricing was the best to be found online with service to match. They kept me informed with shipping tracking numbers, etc. I have used them before and will continue to recommend them.

- Great Product, Easy to Use Review by Tim Cummens, President CTW Corporation
The unit we bought has suited our needs nicely. We do not use this detector as often as some contractors so the reasonable price for the Micro Clip XT allows us to own without the hassles that renting a unit entailed. Most of what we inspect, water pressure tanks and ground level water reservoirs, never involve any of the gasses we detect for so it is unusual to ever have it go off. We have already used it three times and each of the crews has mentioned how easy it is to set up and use. I am still not certain on the frequency of the required calibration. For us it would be beneficial for that to be based on actual time used rather than elapsed calendar time, I guess we will be dealing with that soon enough.
The product was well packaged and delivery was earlier than promised, both pluses. As the time approaches for recalibration, I am sure we will be in touch with your technical staff. In summary, we are very pleased up to this point and expect your product to serve us well down the road.
(Posted on 8/19/2014)
- Excellent Review by Sid
"The instrument is compact, robust, and user friendly. Installing the additional filter from the confined entry kit provides added protection against particulate contamination.
Per instructions, recharging seems to require shutting the instrument down for two to three hours; hence only four stars. "

- Extreme Value in a Gas Detector Review by Rick Pedley, Product Expert
Simple design has what you need in a 4-gas monitor, without going all technical on you. The one-button control is easy, and I could find my way through with hardly a glance at the directions. Twice a year calibration makes owning one easy on the wallet. Most guys we give these to just need a couple of quick pointers, and off they go.

- Affordable gas detection Review by Curt in Northern Michigan
We purchased the BW Microclip for use at our Wastewater Facility in northern Michigan. We were looking for something small and affordable to replace our 8 year old detector, which was large and expensive. This unit is a good fit for us, we can put it in a shirt pocket or use the included alligator clip, calibration is fast and only needed 2x per year. Operation is simple, one button. GasSnifer shipping was very fast and their price was great.
(Posted on 7/1/2014)
- Simple and Compact Review by Jim from Odessa, TX
The easiest 4 gas monitor I have tried and can't beat the price. Only need to calibrate it twice a year per instructions.
(Posted on 6/14/2014)
- Standard Issue for Our Guys Review by Tom Geary
I work for a large oil and gas company as a safety and risk management director. We give these to our guys any time they are going into a hazardous environment or confined space. In my opinion, this is the easiest gas detector to train on. It has only one button! It is also one of the smaller models so the guys don't complain about carrying them like the ones that look and feel like bricks. They have been very reliable in the field. No complaints.

Check items to add to the cart or select all
0voteA: Yes, this monitor can detect Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, and LEL (lower explosive limits) which include Methane.
0voteA: The monitors are tested by UL and CSA. The logos are printed on the monitor labels and on all the included literature.
0voteA: The oxygen sensor in this unit is capable of measuring from 0-30% vol O2. The time is takes to register a change in O2% varies slightly based on the severity of the change but typically it will be 90% accurate in 15 seconds.
0voteA: Pricing varies by sensor. Please call us for the latest pricing. Given the unit comes with a 2 year warranty you shouldn't incur any cost for replacement sensors in the first 2 years.
0voteA: Yes, this monitor displays the gas concentrations through it's measuring range.
0voteA: In order to perform a bump test you'll need to apply each sensors target gas. For this monitor that's O2 / LEL / H2S / CO. The quantities need to be above the units high alarm settings. We have the gas available to purchase online. Please look for part number BW 4-GAS CALIBRATION MIX CG-Q34-4. You will also need a regulator BW CALIBRATION GAS REGULATOR REG-0.5 LPM to connect the gas to the monitor.
0voteA: All the items in the image are included. The case is available separately at an additional cost. Please search item MC-CK-DL
0voteA: They use a different oxygen sensor that isn't interchangeable. All the other sensors are the same.
0voteA: Yes, the monitor is capable of detecting Butane and Propane.
0voteA: The BW GasAlert Micro Clip XL is only available with up to 4 of the standard confined space sensors; Oxygen, Combustible (LEL), Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide.
To detect Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), we have 2 choices in the BW line…
The GasAlert Extreme is a single gas HCN detector with a digital readout. Part number is GAXT-Z-DL
In a multiple gas detector, we have the Micro 5. As the name implies, this instrument can have up to 5 different sensors, including HCN. We offer a few basic configurations on the site, but can get much more custom as you prefer.
0voteA: The alarm set points on the BW GasAlert Micro Clip XL are user adjustable. As shipped from the factory, the current default settings are;
Oxygen (O2) low alarm: 19.5%, high alarm: 23.5%
Combustible (LEL Methane) low alarm: 5%, high alarm: 15%
Carbon Monoxide (CO) low alarm: 50ppm, high alarm: 200ppm
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) low alarm: 10ppm, high alarm: 15ppm
0voteA: The sensors on the BW GasAlert Micro Clip XL are all replaceable. Each sensor has a 2 year warranty. The Oxygen (O2) sensor will usually be the first to go, sometime after the 2 years, but certainly before 3 years. The other sensors, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Combustible (LEL) vary widely in their actual service life, depending greatly on what they have been exposed to. It is not unusual to see any of them going 3-5 years.
0voteA: I have checked with BW, and they do not offer a portable gas detector capable of displaying the LEL of Tetrahydrofuran. Another approach is to use a Photo Ionization Detector (PID). Depending on your application, this may be a good alternative. If you like, please give us a call. Our gas monitor experts would be happy to talk it over and find the best fit for you.
0voteA: The BW GasAlert Micro Clip XL comes standard with data logging built in. It will start recording events just as soon as it is turned on. However, access to the logs does require the BW IR Connectivity Kit GA-USB1-IR. This kit includes connections and software for your Windows PC. Basic information, such as STEL, TWA, etc are available on the instrument screen through the menu system. More detailed information is only available with the kit.
0voteA: No, the Micro Clip XT measures H2S, CO, lower explosive limits of combustibles, and oxygen. For a CO2 monitor, consider the Draeger Single Gas Pac 7000 for CO2.
0voteA: This monitor reads H2S as well as O2, CO, and LEL. If you're looking for a monitor that specifically detects hydrogen, consider the ToxiRAE Pro.
0voteA: The guidance from BW Honeywell is to calibrate the MicroClip XL 4 gas monitor every 6 months. In fact, the unit has a 180 day countdown visible on the screen as a reminder. Initially this is set on the date of manufacture. With shipping and time in our warehouse, it may be that as much as 30 days has elapsed from that first calibration. Each time you calibrate the instrument, a new 180 day clock is started.
For calibrating the MicroClip XL you will need a cylinder of cal gas and a regulator. With these items in hand, calibrating the instrument is easy and quick. The cal gas has all 4 gases with specific percentages to set the proper values, and the regulator meters out the gas at a specific rate of flow. These are available on our site. The calibration gas cylinder may also be used for bump testing. For most of our customers, it is standard practice to check the correct operation of the detector before each use, particularly if the application involves confined space entry.
0voteA: This monitor will not detect chlorine. Instead you would need a special purpose monitor such as the BW Honeywell GasAlert Extreme Chlorine Dioxide 0-1 ppm.

Crab and rabbit visitors' favourite
Media release
20 February 2014
Crab and rabbit visitors' favourite
Jamie Pickernell's sculpture 'Oh Crabby, I do believe we're rather lost!' has won the People's Choice Award at the Auckland Botanic Gardens' biennial sculpture exhibition.
The award, sponsored by the Friends of the Auckland Botanic Gardens, was voted for by the public during the three and a half month exhibition and announced at the closing of Sculpture in the Gardens 2013/14.
Friends president Bill Burrill says the People's Choice Award gives exhibition visitors a voice.
"It is always exciting to see which sculpture the public connected with the most. This year only 95 votes, out of 10,000, separated Jamie Pickernell from Ben Foster's 'The White Horse', making it an extremely close contest," he says.
Jamie Pickernell was thrilled with
his win.
"I'm feeling honoured! Sculpture in the Gardens is an event where, as a sculptor, the opportunity to show your work to such a diverse audience is second to none. I get to share my work with a public that wouldn't normally go to a gallery.
"We all love a good story, and I've really enjoyed seeing the public create their own stories for Crabby and Rabby. As a self-taught blacksmith, I've become an adventurer with materials, trying to make cool things. Sometimes it works!" he says.
Auckland Botanic Gardens manager Jack Hobbs says over 370,000 people have visited Sculpture in the Gardens since it opened in November 2013.
"We feel privileged to host an event that makes art accessible to the diverse Auckland public and have been delighted with the number of people who have come to the exhibition, enjoyed the Gardens and taken the opportunity to learn more about sculpture," he says.
• The McConnell Property Supreme Award was won by Auckland artist Louise Purvis for 'Alterations'
• The Friends of the Auckland Botanic Gardens purchase an artwork from each exhibition, for the Gardens permanent collection. This year they purchased Bing Dawe's 'Tuna'
• 'Oh Crabby I do believe we're rather lost!' is an andesite, steel and stainless steel sculpture. It has been purchased by a private collector.
• Jamie Pickernell's 'Teenage Text Bunny' featured in the 2009/10 exhibition, and 'Bird Lady' won the People's Choice Award at the 2011/12 show. Bird Lady remains in the Gardens as part of the permanent collection.
• Winners of the exhibition's writing competition were inspired by Oh Crabby and The White Horse.

It took six years of going from doctor to doctor to doctor for Penney Cowan to finally receive a diagnosis for her chronic pain: fibromyalgia. Doctors had told her she'd just have to learn to live with the pain — a condition that some days made it hard to lift a cup of coffee. So when she decided to join the pain program at Ohio's Cleveland Clinic, she didn't have high hopes. She says she expected the effort to fail.
Researchers studying workers' compensation claims have found that almost one in 12 injured workers who begin using opioids were still using the prescription drugs three to six months later. It's a trend that, not surprisingly, can lead to addiction, increased disability and more work loss – but few doctors are acting to prevent it.

INDIANAPOLIS – Milwaukee junior forward Tony Meier (Wildwood, Mo.) has been named Horizon League Men's Basketball Player of the Week, for the week beginning Feb. 12. The honor is the first of Meier's career.
The Panthers entered the final week of regular season play one game out of first place, but with an 87-83 victory at Cleveland State and a 94-87 overtime thriller at Youngstown State, Milwaukee claimed the No. 1 seed for the Horizon League Men's Basketball Championship, picking up a share of the regular season title.
Meier was superb throughout the weekend, averaging 23.0 points per game to go along with 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest. The junior was 15-for-26 from the field, including a 6-of-13 mark from three-point range.
In a must-win contest at Cleveland State, the Wildwood, Mo.-native posted a career-high 28 points, pushing the Panthers out to a 19-point lead in an eventual four-point win over the then-League leaders.
Meier collected 19 points in Saturday's overtime victory, which sealed the Panthers' ninth straight League win en route to the tournament's No. 1 seed.
Milwaukee receives a double bye into the semifinals and host the tournament as long as it is alive as a result of its seed. The Panthers will be in action on Saturday, March 5, hosting either No. 4 Valparaiso, No. 5 Detroit, No. 8 Loyola or No. 9 Youngstown State at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
Top Performers for the Week:
Shelvin Mack, Butler (Jr., G) - The junior helped Butler claim a piece of its fifth straight Horizon League regular season title, setting a new League record. Leading the Bulldogs to their seventh straight win, Mack posted a game-high 18 points in a 63-57 win over Loyola, moving into a tie with Brandon Miller for fourth on the Butler career three-point charts with 189 in his career.
Chris Blake, Detroit (Jr., G) - Needing a win to pick up the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament, Blake recorded a career-best 21 points, leading the Titans to a 77-67 victory over Wright State. The junior knocked down four of his six attempts from three-point range, helping the Titans finish with 10 League wins for the first time since 2003-04.
Alec Brown, Green Bay (Fr., C) - Brown dominated the paint against Valparaiso, finishing with 22 points and 12 rebounds in helping Green Bay take down the Crusaders, 81-80, on Monday. The freshman spurred a comeback late in a loss at Cleveland State, finishing with 13 points as the Phoenix took the No. 7 seed into the conference tournament.
Terrance Hill, Loyola (Sr., G) - Hill closed his regular season with a bang, leading the Ramblers to a 68-48 triumph at Valparaiso, leading the way with 20 points, snagging seven rebounds in the process. The senior has been in double figures in each of the last six contests.
Robo Kreps, UIC (Sr., G) - With 21 points at Valparaiso on Saturday, Kreps moved into seventh place on the UIC career scoring ledger. The senior led a spirited comeback in the second half of an eventual 79-65 loss, scoring 17 points in the final 20 minutes. Kreps sits 16 points away from 1,600 for his career entering the League tournament.
Cory Johnson, Valparaiso (Sr., F) - The senior led the way on Senior Night, recording 18 points to carry Valparaiso to their 12th Horizon League win of the year, setting a new school record. Johnson also took the team's high-scorer honors on Thursday night, posting 15 against Loyola.
Vaughn Duggins, Wright State (Sr., G) - Duggins did all he could in a 10-point loss to Detroit on Friday night, knocking down 12-of-17 field goals en route to 27 points. Over his last seven games, Duggins is averaging 24.5 points per game, while his 12 baskets on Friday marked a new career high.
Damian Eargle, Youngstown State (So., F) - Eargle paced Youngstown State last weekend, posting 19 points against Green Bay and following up the effort with 17 versus Milwaukee. With five blocks on the weekend, Eargle moved into second place in the Penguins single-season record books with 86 on the year. In just one season, Eargle is already fourth in the career blocks register at YSU.

News of CompUSA closing 100 stores brought visions of fire sales to our eyes (burn, prices, burn!), but our CompUSA insider says those fantasies may be just that.
As for close out sales, if you remember the KANSAS CITY store closings & 14 others, they did not make any good deals. Yet they just screwed people out of their money.
They ran normal sales through their flyers, and you could no longer return the product at any compusa. You did not get any good deals. They might run 10% and gradually go up a little bit. But they sold most of it to a Ebay wholesaler who bought it all for 4 cents to the dollar….
Oh, okay, just keeping buying stuff from eBay? No problem. — BEN POPKEN

NO excuse not to own a 1911!
Turkish M1911A1 for $399 cash to your door!
TISAS Classic 1911-A1 45ACP 5" GI BLACK Bud's - $399/shipped
How does this compare to the Girsan in terms of reliability ?
Same parent company, I believe based on a quickie review that the Girsan is their next step up quality wise....but obviously the $399 deal is for the GI model which is bone stock. In my opinion these Turkish 1911's are well made and slowly making a name for themselves! I'm loving my Girsan sport model in parkerized black
I have a couple of purchases I have to square away before I can entertain buying another handgun but the more I look at them the more interested I get.
Sweet! Opened and bookmarked
that's a sweet deal! thanks for the heads-up Cane!
Turkish made firearms can range from poor in quality to very well made. looking at the Girsan on the websites and the reviews, it looks to worthy of consideration for a 1911.
this also looks to be a viable candidate for a person wanting a complete 1911 for a custom build.

Kurtis W. Overby and Adam Vargas put on some Raaarh in Young Frankenstein.
Courtesy of Arizona Broadway Theatre
Things we didn't know about Mel Brooks' 1974 film Young Frankenstein:
• Brooks and Gene Wilder came up with the idea during a coffee break on the set of Blazing Saddles. • Most of the lab equipment props are from the 1931 original. • Aerosmith generated the lyrics for "Walk This Way" after viewing the film.
Now that it's a hit musical à la The Producers (except even better, because people had already heard of this movie), add to your trivia trove the fact that Brooks wrote all the songs (except Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz") and that Arizona Broadway Theatre's 19-member cast brings the hilarious extravaganza to 7701 West Paradise Lane in Peoria through Sunday, June 22. Chef Alex Arce and staff generally develop starters, entrées, desserts, and cocktails that pay homage to the show, and we're a bit intrigued and intimidated simultaneously in this case. Fire bad!

Eight-year-old inventor Sam has had his double-headed broom named as one of the UK's top 15 inventions of the last decade.
He was just three years old when he came up with the idea for a broom with two brushes.
It has one that collects the big bits of dirt and one that gets the little bits left behind - so cleaning up is less work!
The broom has even been patented, which means that no one else is allowed to copy the idea.
Now if you watch Newsround then you must be a pretty bright spark, so we want to know - what have YOU invented? Or what invention would you like to see?
This page is now closed. Here are some of the comments your sent in.
"I would invent a never-ending ice cream!"
Shannon, 12, Sheffield, England
"A pair of glasses with a tiny video camera in the corner of a lens."
Ella, 7, Ipswich, England

"If I was to invent something I would invent a hotel/aquarium so the hotel would basically be an aquarium."
Emily, 12, Leeds, England
"If I could invent something I would invent an animal communicator. So if you were lonely or wanted to ask an animal or your pet something you could."
Rachel, 10, Preston, England
"In the passenger seat of cars they should have steering wheels and pedals. So if the person driving is tired, you could just take the key out of the ignition on the right-hand side and put it into the left-hand side, so you wouldn't need to get out of the car."
Emma, 12, Aberdeen, Scotland
"A pencil case that is a robot. When you say 'pencil', a pencil appears. You would never have to worry about leaving your stationery at home. It would come in different styles and colours. There would be a special pen so if didn't know what to write, the pen would write for you and you would get a good grade. It would have a computer fitted inside it so you can search the web for help with your work. It would make life easier because you could just tell it what you want and it would appear."
Anoop, 12, London, England
"I would invent pencils with little phones in them to talk to your friends when you were in class."
Jessica, 10, Essex, England
"I would like to invent a scooter that has a toilet attached to it so you don't have to move to go to the toilet."

"I wish I could invent contact lenses that had a camera in them. When you go out and you see something amazing but realise that you haven't got a camera - these lenses solves the problem."
Francesca, 11, Southampton, England
"My invention would be a table that moves when you sit on in. There would be a steering wheel so you could drive it. You could also hire drivers and have your tea on it."
Evie, 8, County Durham, England

Jennifer, 9, Stoke-on-Trent, England
"I came up with the idea of a pair of glasses or sunglasses with a built-in screen. The idea is that you can plug in a music player and you can see what songs are playing, the time and the latest news stories in the corner of the glasses."
Ben, 12, London, England
"I would invent a wishing machine! You say your wish and it is granted for you free of charge!"

Hassan, 10, Cheshire, England

Katie-Jane, 11, Surrey, England
"I really want a way to listen to music in class without your teachers knowing, so I tried the headphone through the shirt trick. It didn't work so I bought some white headphones, marked them the same colour as my hair, did the shirt trick and got away with it all week!"
Shannai, 13, Cheshire, England
"I would invent a very clever car that uses even less fuel. Watch out for me in the future, guys!!"
Josh, 14, Nottinghamshire, England
"My invention is a nail painter that paints five nails at once. All the user has to do is pick the colour of nail varnish for each brush. It is a quick and easy way to paint your nails and I bet every girl wishes they could have one."
Catherine, 13, Nottingham, England
"Well I think that my invention would be hover shoes. I read that jets are powered by the escaping of gas. So I think that these hover shoes would be attached to a sort of vacuum that pushes air into the shoes, and it would escape from four cup-like shapes at the bottom of each shoe. I personally think this is a good idea, but the only problem is you wouldn't be able to go very far with the vacuum."
Natalie, 11, Oxfordshire, England

Golden Globes Snubs And Surprises (PHOTOS)
It wasn't exactly shocking when The Social Network, Black Swan and Glee cleaned up at the Golden Globe nominations announcement Tuesday morning, but sprinkled among the 2011 nods are a bunch of head-scratching decisions.
Surprise, movie fans! The Tourist is up for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, Emma Stone's in the Best Actress race and Jennifer Love Hewitt nabbed a nod for playing a "masseuse" in a Lifetime movie. (You go, JLH!) On the flip side, however, there were tragic snubs when it came to the ladies of Mad Men and the doubly talented Social Network star Armie Hammer.

Pony up taxpayers, Comcast is building
PHILADELPHIA — Not satisfied with one taxpayer-supported skyscraper in Philadelphia, Comcast Corp. on Wednesday announced plans to build an even taller one.
The Philadelphia-based media giant said it will erect a $1.2 billion, 59-story technology center that will rise 1,121 feet next to the Comcast Center, which is 975 feet tall.
Comcast and real estate investment trust Liberty Property Trust said the Norman Foster-designed glass and stainless steel tower would become the "dedicated home" of its expanding workforce of "technologists, engineers and software architects." It will boast a media center in the heart of downtown Philadelphia that will be home to the region's NBC affiliate, WCAU-TV, and Telemundo's WWSI-TV.
Comcast is the largest global media and technology company and owns NBC Universal.
The two companies say the project is a joint venture between them, with Comcast holding 80 percent and Liberty 20 percent. Construction is set to start this summer, with completion by fall 2017.
The venture is getting $40 million from the city and state, with Philadelphia providing $10 million and Pennsylvania $30 million in grants and $4.5 million in job creation tax credits.
Comcast Center, which opened in June 2008, received $42.75 million in financial incentives from the city and state for the $540 million project.
"We continue to be proud to call Philadelphia our home and are thrilled to build a world-class media, technology and innovation center right in the heart of the city, to bring NBC 10 and Telemundo 62 downtown, and to create thousands of jobs and further drive economic activity in the region," said Brian L. Roberts, Comcast chairman and chief executive.
The skyscraper will house up to 4,000 Comcast employees. About 1,500 of those will be new hires, Roberts said.
While 22,000 temporary construction jobs are expected, Roberts said the city will receive about $15 million in taxes, and about $60 million will be returned to the state.
The building is to have more than 1.5 million rentable square feet and will include a Four Seasons hotel and a block-long lobby with a glass-enclosed indoor plaza that will offset Comcast Center's outdoor plaza.
The lobby will feature a restaurant, and a concourse that provides direct connections with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority's regional commuter train hub, Suburban Station, will be extended for direct access to the new building.
"This is a very special project. It is an opportunity to create a unique and sustainable model for mixed-use, high- density development, which uniquely combines spaces for high-tech research and development with restaurants, gardens, fitness facilities and a significant public reception space — a window on Philadelphia," Foster said.

As with the case of oh-so-sexy Reid whom we debuted last week here on MenOver30.com, Matias is another man who waited until he was in his thirties, then could not stifle his desire one more day to be on camera. Those are just the kind of guys who make some of our favorite models. Matias also brought his wife to the shoot. She stood in the studio with us, stripped naked, and put on a show, playing with herself off camera while Matias played with himself for our camera. Not a fluffer in the traditional sense of the word, and far more exciting than just watching a porn DVD for inspiration, Matias and his wife were mirroring each as they masturbated. Was it strange filming a husband stroking, watching his wife masturbate live just behind us? Hell yes it was. But there was also something uniquely hot about sharing this fantasy and piercing the veil of the privacy of the bedroom, everyone not only knowing this was all for you, but turned on by the idea.Matias has classic Latin good looks with flawless olive skin, dark hair, and deep eyes. He tears off his shirt over his very broad shoulders, shows his naturally smooth chest, and immediately gets down to the business of working that bulge in his jeans with a purposefully tight grip. He is not just rubbing his crotch, he is yanking on his meat right through his jeans, biting his lip, well on the way to a pleasure zone most guys only reach when they are ready to shoot. Doing what can only be described as a sexual samba as he kneels on the bed, he then lays down and slowly shimmies out of his jeans as he humps away on the mattress down below, putting a mataistiful set of alpine white ass cheeks on display. As he flips over, his cock is rock hard and ready for the second act. Furiously stroking away, he stands up, grabs the headboard and proceeds to bend over and start stroking again before moving to the floor and spreading his thighs wide in what we thought sure looked like an initiation... and that thinking proved to be more than correct.�Matias, party of one, your hole is waiting,� was the theme of act three and his finger snaked in from between his legs and quickly disappeared right up his ass. If you begin to wonder what he is staring at off camera, remember his wife is in the room, fingering herself as he fingers himself in a relationship that Dr. Freud would have as much a field day with as our horny hubby was having with his own hole. One finger eventually becomes two as he explores the center of his ass cheeks while on all fours. Then, returning to his back, the force of the anal stimulation has his sperm coming in for a landing all over his hand. Guess it's true what they say about holiday time...it sure can bring out unexpected surprises!

Who'll be making headlines in 2014?
Again, in what has become a Brisbane Times tradition, our team of journalists has pored over a long list of Queenslanders, determining who might pique our interest in the coming year.
Upon reflection, some names we thought would make an impact last year bombed out, remaining quieter than anticipated.
Others lived well and truly up to their expectations.
The top pick, Gerard Baden-Clay, will no doubt figure again in this year's list. Clive Palmer made his way into parliament, and Kevin Rudd again became Prime Minister.
Top sports pick Jack Freestone remained relatively quiet, and Usman Khawaja – albeit part of the Australian Ashes squad – also remained behind the scenes.
So who are your picks for the coming year? Which Queenslanders will make the headlines as prominent players in the news?
From Monday (December 30) to Friday next week, we'll reveal 10 names each day, and let you know why we think they belong in their chosen positions.
In the meantime, leave your suggestions in the comments field.
To whet the appetite, here were the predictions for 2013:
- Gerard Baden-Clay
- Clive Palmer
- Kevin Rudd
- Yassmin Abdel-Magied
- Jack Freestone
- Campbell Newman
- Ian Stewart
- Usman Khawaja
- The Finks
- Bindi Irwin
- Claire Holt

About Cocozelle Squash: This heirloom italian zucchini has been available in the United States since the early 1930s. It stays tender even at large sizes, and its stripes make it a colorful addition to the garden. Traditional Italian cuisine makes use of zucchini by breading and pan frying it or deep frying its blossoms, producing a dish known as "fiori di zucca."
Cocozelle Squash Germination: Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their squash seeds indoors a month before the last expected frost. Since squashes do not take well to transplanting, peat pots are the best option. Plant two seeds per pot, later clipping off the weaker seedling. Harden the seedlings by exposing them to the weather for several hours at a time during the week before transplanting. About a week after the last frost or when the soil temperature reaches an average of 65 degrees F, plant the seedlings in very rich soil 8-10' apart in rows 10-12' apart. Another option is to plant the seedlings in hills of two, 8-10' apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds when the soil temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F. Plant them 1/2" deep, 3-4' apart and thin to 8-10' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant squashes along with corn but avoid planting them with potatoes.
Growing Cocozelle Squash Seeds: Since squash seedlings do not tolerate frost, provide protective coverings if the temperature drops below 65 degrees F. Keep the soil moist at all times, but avoid getting the leaves wet as this can cause diseases such as rot or mildew. When the vines begin to develop, a layer of mulch will help conserve moisture and control weeds; mulch also will keep the squashes clean and protect them from too much soil contact.
Harvesting Cocozelle Squash: These squashes generally taste best when harvested at a length of 6-8". When the plant begins to produce mature squashes, they should be picked every day or two. Cocozelle squashes keep well in the refrigerator for about two weeks and freeze well.
Saving Cocozelle Squash Seeds: By the time the squash reaches its mature size, the seeds are mature. Cut the squash open, remove the pulp and seeds, and rinse off the pulp. Put the mixture in a bowl of water to remove the remaining pulp; the good seeds will sink. Remove the good seeds and spread them out to dry for 2-3 weeks, stirring them at times to make sure they dry completely. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to 4 years.
Detailed Cocozelle Squash Info: Cucurbita pepo. Also known as Cocozelle Italian, Cocozella di Napoli. Annual. 55 days. 120 seeds per oz. 18-24" height. 36-48" spacing. Produces 10-12" club shaped summer squashes with light and dark green stripes.

Harare – Faf du Plessis fell agonisingly short of a century but South Africa moved into the lead on the third morning of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe as they reached lunch on 278 for five.
Du Plessis was out for 98 shortly before the lunch interval when he turned off spinner John Nyumbu to leg gully, giving Nyumbu his third wicket in his debut innings.
However with Quinton de Kock easing to 75 not out, the Proteas moved past Zimbabwe's first innings total of 256 and gave themselves an opportunity to build a major lead.
Although Du Plessis and De Kock took their time to adapt to the pace of the pitch early on, scoring 11 runs in the first eight overs of the day, they gradually took the attack to the Zimbabwean bowlers in a 119-run partnership.
The hosts responded to that pressure by offering up some loose deliveries, allowing South Africa a relatively profitable 77 runs from the session.
That compared favourably to their progress on Sunday, when they scored 201 for four in 84 overs.
JP Duminy was yet to get off the mark after replacing Du Plessis, while Nyumbu had figures of 3 for 105. – Sapa-AFP

Are The Tax Mix And The Fiscal Pressure Converging In The European Union?
This study investigates fiscal convergence in the European Union. Increasing economic integration and fiscal harmonisation policy justify the analysis of the convergence of the fiscal variables. In this note the tax mix, the total fiscal pressure and its three main components –taxes on income and profits, social security contributions, taxes on goods and services– are analysed. We employ the beta, sigma and gamma convergence approaches from the economic convergence literature and data for the period 1965-2003 from the OECD. The results suggest the existence of convergence of the tax mix and the total fiscal pressure in the overall period. Nevertheless, this process is not constant and takes place approximately between 1975 and 1990. Indeed, the convergence of the fiscal pressure is supported by the taxes on goods and services.

Julia Roberts looked fantastic in a Dolce & Gabbana LWD for the 36th Film Society of Lincoln Center's Gala in NYC this week. She kept things classic with black accents and simple jewelry, but as we all know it's her smile that is her best accessory. Her exact dress isn't available online, but this similar D&G one is just as beautiful, so shop it now.

As they toured the holiday lights at Temple Square last December, Jake Strickland and Whitney Pettersson looked like just another happy, expectant couple.
Their baby was due in less than two weeks, and although not married or even in a relationship any longer, they'd decided to raise the child together. Or so Strickland thought.
A year later, Strickland is embroiled in a desperate, and so far unsuccessful, legal battle to gain custody of his child, born just a day after that visit to Temple Square and swiftly placed with adoptive parents. Strickland is among dozens of men who've waged similar fights in Utah, which arguably has the nation's strictest laws governing unwed father's rights.

Hollywood Week On American Idol [VIDEO]
Have you been watching Hollywood week on American Idol? Jim Carrey's daughter performed…
"Looking Out My Backdoor" the classic CCR song, but was sent packin'.
Phillip Phillips who did an awesome acoustic version of "Thriller" on an audition show, performed "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" and made it through to the next round.
But we don't know what happened to Symone Black, a 16 year old with a gourgeous voice who, after singing "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," fell right off the stage.
The last scene was of executive producer Nigel Lythgoe calling for a medic. We'll find out what happened to Symone tonight.

Serious about being silly, seek complex simplicity and dualistic without duplicity. (I'm of two minds about dualism, but they both agree that it's false).
I love words with friends and at times feel like I am friends with words. I'm stable and mercurial, a good listener and an excellent speaker.
I am really busy, but I do my best to make time for exciting people. I feel at times like I'm dancing on the line between the humanities and the sciences, but since dancing is a humanity, that is the side towards which I tilt, a whirling dervish twirling in a lab coat he doesn't deserve. I have an ecstatic relationship with the natural world and its funniest monkeys, the Homophobic Sapien (really we're more closely related to apes, that was just a genetic jape. Please don't be homophobic, or in any other way full of fear or hate).
My old profile also read: Please be kind, laid back, hot, smart. Could break a tooth on an icy uptight tart.
Recently found out that this guy was using my pictures and creeping on people: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/erigre/photos. Please do not get catfished by him, please instead get catfished by me. By which I mean, come meet me, I look like my pictures, and then let me take you to a wonderful catfish dinner (vegans and vegetarians: you will be forced to eat neither cat nor fish. We'll work it out, somehow).
Oh, hey, this seems relevant: I am wrong sometimes. Whoops!
Communicating uncomfortable truths (being a dick without being a dick about it).
Arguing without fighting.
Thinking abstractly.
In retrospect I probably should not have mentioned this.
Also recursion.
And, of course, recursion.
Also, I just paid the $3 to increase my message storage to 5,000. That's kind of embarrassing. (note: I did this because I don't need another space in my life to monitor, virtual or otherwise, not because I'm a schmuck. That's totally incidental).
Bonus points: You "believe in" the scientific method (and can articulate why this isn't just another form of faith), understand the dangers of cognitive biases and anecdotal evidence, and in the event of a debate you are able to wield Occam's Razor.
I view sex as a form of communication (which is why I always request an ASL translator be present for the hearing impaired). If it's possible to say this without sounding like a braggart or a slut (I'd prefer to sound like both, but not not one or the other) I'm probably on the more sexually experienced side, but honestly just looking for meaningful companionship in the form of a smart, fun, self-possessed, expressive intellectual, artistic, kind-hearted, open-minded, statistically significant other. I am not just in it for the sex, though I'm a guy so of course I have some self-worth tied up in my prowess. Plenty of inadequacies (I used to be fat, asthmatic, last up at bat), but in the final measurement my sense of self-worth wins out (so my ego is fatter than my memory).
And by the way, if you just found my profile because you were searching terms like bdsm, dominant, submissive, kink, kinky, fetlife or fucktastic, well I don't know what you were expecting to find. But I am listening.
Play an instrument, teach me a new skill. Whatever. I hope I don't live to see a day I stop trying to learn something new or otherwise challenge myself. I've found that no matter how smart you might be there's always room to be dumb.
Jeez, all I want is a girl who is smarter than I am, hotter than I am, appreciates the value of the scientific method, has been outside the country at least once, is at least as intellectually curious as I am, expresses a creative drive, is in touch with herself as a sexual being, gets (and hopefully makes) jokes, has a passion for something (anything really), a little bit of musicality would be nice, and is also attracted to me. Is that really so much to ask for?!?
Oh it is? Well shit.
Then just be cool or something.
Ok, profile over. Nice to meet ya.
P.S. It's proven to be impossible to keep my inbox not full (what with all the fake messages I send myself to look popular), so unless we mutually like/star each other probably won't be able to message you. I'm sorry about that.

"Awesome spin on an omelet. I used hot sausage cut out of the casing and fried up with mild salsa and a very tiny bit of cheese. I'm on a low-carb, low sugar and starch diet and this was way better than regular scrambled eggs. I will be making this again for sure!!"

Winning the Cook Off on Park Avenue
Early August I entered a grilled peach, arugula, feta and pistachio salad in the Whole Foods Marks Healthy Eating competition.
I was chosen as finalist to compete in a cook off as part of NY Summer Streets. I got to cook on Park Avenue, not something you do everyday, well I don't.
It was fun and took me back to when I was a kid and used to pretend to have a cooking show, these were pre-Food Network days before cooking on TV was cool.
King Marv kindly edited this video so I felt obliged to post it. It does not work outside of the United States, something to do with the music rights. You Europeans have been spared!

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ITSIM.2008.4632056
In this paper, we present the optimization of e-business social network visualization using genetic algorithm (GA). Basically, it is important to visualize the map of the Internet searching because it helps user to better understand how and why they interact with each other. It is also helps them to search information in a very fast way and more related to their searched. Furthermore, the result returns by the conventional search engine sometimes are not relevant to the user search. Here, we proposed the query optimization search system based on genetic algorithm (GA) to solve this problem and visualize the connection between them. Experiment results demonstrate that it is very effective to improve the search of the relevant web pages using the genetic algorithm.

"A fight is a fight and anything can happen. [Dos Santos and Overeem are] two very strong fighters, they're at the top of their division but I don't see how Overeem can beat Junior dos Santos. Overeem is (beating a lot of people), he's a lion, but when (he gets hit) he becomes a kitty. When Junior first connects, Overeem's spirit of a fighter will go to the dress room. I think it will be Junior with another knockout in his career."
Speaking to Brazilian media outlet, Portal do Vale Tudo, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva discussed the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Alistair Overeem and Junior Dos Santos.
Overeem will go from Lion to Kitty is his prediction for the match, but what is yours?

Dwayne Johnson serious about possible political future
Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson would seriously consider a future run for U.S. president as long as he felt able to make a "real difference" in people's lives.
The Furious 7 star, known as The Rock in the wrestling ring, has found huge success in Hollywood since his breakout role in The Mummy Returns in 2001, and he has become one of the movie industry's most beloved action men.
Johnson has also used his fame to help various charity endeavours over the years, and he has built up such a big fan following, his devotees believe he could one day make a great political leader - an idea which intrigues the 44-year-old.
Earlier this year (16), he told Britain's GQ magazine, "I'll be honest, I haven't ruled politics out. I'm not being coy when I say that, but at the moment I am not sure. I can't deny that the thought of being governor, the thought of being president, is alluring. And beyond that, it would be an opportunity to make a real impact on people's lives on a global scale. But there are a lot of other things I want to do first."
His comments helped boost fans' hopes of a future White House bid, and Dwayne, a registered Republican, insists he really is giving it some serious thought.
"(The idea of running for president) is very real," The Rock declared on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America. "The idea of me being president one day has become a legit (sic) thing to some people.
"As time goes on, we'll take the temperature of the American people and if it is an overwhelming, positive, strong, 'We want you to run for president', and if I felt that I can step up to the plate, and become a tremendous leader and make a real difference and make change, I would do it."
If Dwayne does decide to enter the world of politics, he won't be the first athlete-turned-actor to do so - fellow action man Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Mr. Universe, became the Governor of California in 2003, serving two terms until 2011.
Meanwhile, other actors who have turned politicians include Clint Eastwood, who was elected as the Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California in the late 1980s, and Ronald Reagan, who famously became the 40th President of the United States in 1981.

On an overcast, chilly afternoon at the Lodi Softball Complex, there was a birthday bash and everyone showed up for the party. Every batter in the Lodi Flames varsity softball team's starting lineup had a hit to back a dominating performance by pitcher Aja Secheslingloff as the Flames opened San Joaquin Athletic Association play with a 10-0 victory over the visiting Chavez Titans.
The game ended in the bottom of the sixth due to the 10-run mercy rule, and the team and fans got to celebrate the win and player Bree Spradling's birthday with some victory cupcakes.

Who cares about the journey or the trials along the way? Ultimately, the only thing that matters is arriving.
Saturday night, that was all that mattered for The College of Wooster.
A week removed from having their North Coast Athletic Conference regular season title hopes dashed in a demoralizing 94-80 loss to Wittenberg, the Scots found redemption against those same Tigers.
Behind a clutch shot by Antwyan Reynolds and a huge 31-point game by tournament MVP Bryan Nelson, Wooster shook off two demoralizing losses in the regular season against Wittenberg to win the NCAC tournament for the third year in a row, this time by a 59-56 score. As a result, the victory earned Wooster the conference's automatic bid to the Div. III postseason tournament, which will be announced tonight around 9 p.m. by the NCAA, and improved its record to 24-3.
"It was a must-win for us," said Nelson, who carried the load for a struggling Wooster team offensively in the second half. "We had to win. We might have got into the tournament, but psychologically we would have been down."
Thanks to Reynolds, though, the Scots enter the tournament on an upbeat note. Reynolds found himself in an eerily similar situation on Jan. 20 with an opportunity to tie the game in the final 30 seconds against the Tigers, only to have the ball bounce away in a 90-83 loss. Saturday night, with the game tied at 56-all, Reynolds found the ball in his hands again. The obvious choice was Nelson, who scored 15 of Wooster's 17 second-half points to that juncture, and Reynolds knew that.
"The play was to get it to Nelson," Reynolds said. "They couldn't handle him. We were going to run a pick and roll, but they switched off. I tried to drive around, but they backed off -- so I stepped back and let go."
The 22-foot shot hit nothing but net, propelling Wooster into a 59-56 lead with 28 seconds to play
"I knew it that time," Reynolds said. "I knew that one."
Wooster wasn't out of the woods. The Tigers had an opportunity to cut it to one when Mark Borland was fouled. He missed both free throws, but the ball went out of bounds off a Wooster player, giving the ball back to the Tigers with 15 seconds to play. Witt got the opportunity it was looking for when it had not one, but two 3-point attempts to tie the game, only to have them bounce off.
Wittenberg coach Bill Brown was satisfied with his team's final opportunities.
"We got two looks at 3-pointers," Brown said. "(Greg) Rustad separated from his guy, and I don't think he fouled him, but he took a swipe at him. We'd told them (at the timeout) to fight for the rebound, but not to put it back up and look to the 3-point line. (Kyle) Krauss was wide open -- and had a good look.
"Reynolds made his and Kyle didn't make his."
Wooster was fortunate to be where it was at game's end as it suffered through a 7-of-23 shooting effort from the field. Toss out Nelson's 5-of-7 reading from the field and Reynolds (2-for-5) was the only other Scot to score in the second half.
"We just really struggled in the second half," Scot coach Steve Moore said. "To start the second half, we had 14 possessions and only scored once and turned the ball over eight times. Wittenberg was playing good defense, but we had some unforced turnovers.
"We didn't move the ball the way we needed to and we were anxious with our passing. But then we only had one turnover the rest of the way."
By then, the Scots figured out Nelson was going to be The Man.
Despite the Tigers running big man after big man at him, Nelson stepped up with the game of his life. He scored a career-high 31 points on 11-of-15 shooting and had 10 rebounds as the Scots were outrebounded 34-31. What makes that figure impressive is that seven days earlier, the Tigers had doubled the rebound number up on Wooster, 58-29.
"It was a battle in there," said Nelson, who also sported a black eye after the game. "They embarrassed us (at Wooster). They had a lot of offensive rebounds, but not a lot of opportunities for layups."
Nelson had 16 points at halftime as Wooster held a 39-31 advantage at intermission, having made 16-of-29 shots as compared to the Tigers' 10-of-25. They weren't much better in the second half (8-of-29), but Witt was further eroded by a 8-of-17 effort at the charity stripe when it had the opportunity to add to its leads in the second half.
A 3-pointer by B.J. Harris gave the Tigers a 44-41 lead -- their first since 2-0 -- with 12:07 to go in the half. They led 49-45 and missed a pair of 3-pointers attempting to add to that margin.
Nelson made a jumper (8:11), which was only Wooster's third field goal of the half to that point, and until Reynolds drained his 3, the biggest lead by either team the rest of the way was never bigger than two points.
"I chose my spots," said Nelson. "I knew they weren't doubling down on me every time.
"I knew I had to score and carry the load (tonight.) I like being the go-to guy, but we don't have one go-to guy. This was just my night.
"Antwyan hit the big shot."
Reynolds closed the night with 12 points, while the Tigers (23-3) were paced by 17 points from Kevin Longley and 11 from Brian Gratsch.
NOTES: Reynolds and Nelson made the all-tournament team, along with Wittenberg's Ryan Taylor and Longley, Ohio Wesleyan's Travis Schwab and Earlham's Nathan Stoops.
