With Father's Day approaching, I fear things aren't all that great in the world of fathering.
You might not be old enough to remember, but in the 1950s and '60s, fathers carried more respect. Maybe the dads' segment of the population just had better PR. I recall many of the TV fathers – guys like Robert Young of "Father Knows Best," Fred MacMurray of "My Three Sons," Andy Griffith and Bill Cosby on their own shows.
These were solid, stand-up guys. When they spoke, people listened – even their kids. They could solve any problem, tiny or huge, within their 30-minute time slots. As the late Jean Stapleton, who portrayed Edith Bunker on "All in the Family," used to sing with TV husband (and dad) Archie, "Those were the days."
The Ozzie Nelsons and Ward Cleavers weren't perfect, but seemed to love their wives, care for their kids, and approached life with wisdom and common sense.
Compare them to the TV "dads" of today, Homer Simpson of "The Simpsons" probably being the standard bearer. Fathers depicted in popular culture are confused at best, blithering idiots at worst. If they're present at all. Many shows have eliminated "TV dad." Moms carry on without them just fine.
Even on my favorite show, "NCIS," most of the key characters – Gibbs, DiNozzo, Ziva and McGee – have had troubled relationships with dear old dad. And come to think of it, when was the last time you watched a college football game and an athlete on the sidelines turned to the camera and said, "Hi, Dad!"?
As much as I'd like to attribute the current plight of fathers on the media (can't we blame them for everything?), I don't think we can. Wounds suffered by members of the once-revered office of fatherhood are largely self-inflicted.
A 2010 government study revealed more than 70 percent of African-American children were born to unwed mothers, and statistics for other races and ethnicities weren't much better. Apparently, a large proportion of young men believe their "fatherhood" responsibilities begin and end with impregnating young women.
Similarly, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, less than half of custodial mothers got all of the child support they were legally entitled to receive. Many biological fathers seem unbothered about the responsibilities of providing for their offspring's material needs.
Often, even dads that are at home become too consumed with work – or hobbies – to spend ample, quality time with their children. I've been guilty of that myself at times.
As I wrote in an earlier post, I greatly admire mothers and the tremendous job they do in juggling work, household duties, caring for their kids, and somehow trying to still manage some personal time. I don't know how they do it. But we're too quick to dismiss the consequences of absent or inattentive fathers.
Men, for the most part, don't cry much. Maybe we've been socialized that way. But I can't count the number of times I've seen men tear up while talking about their dads. As much as "experts" might argue to the contrary, a man's relationship with his father – or lack of one – is a powerful force in his life. And for many of us, it remains so until we die.
That's why the Bible's perspective on fathers speaks so powerfully. It refers to God as our heavenly Father, but perhaps for many having had bad relationships with their earthly fathers, that might not seem helpful. But the apostle Paul takes a positive, affirming stance: "For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God…" (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12).
Elsewhere the apostle points out one of the best ways a father can communicate love for his children: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…. Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 5:25-6:4).
By demonstrating genuine, sacrificial love and commitment to their mother, a father shows his children a love willing to die to self for the benefit of others. And by being patient and compassionate, rather than responding in haste or anger, fathers can set the example of what a godly life should look like.
Women tend to be more naturally relational than men; men tend to focus more on tasks and outcomes. So the business of fathering, for most of us, is hard, arduous work. When you've met a work deadline, you simply cross that off your list and move to the next project. But being a father is a job that's never done – even when the kids move out of the house. When you're a dad, you can never say, "Well, I've finished that," and check it off the list.
But the effort, if we're willing to undertake it, is well worth it. If we want to know what kind of legacy we'll leave after departing from this life, all we need to ask is, "How am I doing as a dad?"

Welcome back, Jackie Chan. Though it's been a long time since we've seen a true, balls-to-the-wall Jackie Chan film, a new teaser for his latest, Chinese Zodiac (also known as CZ12 or Armour of God III: Chinese Zodiac in some countries), has Chan back at his best and taking down the baddies in what might just be his most amazing stunt sequence ever. Check it out below.
In Chinese Zodiac, a treasure hunter named Asian Hawk searches the world for a set of mystic artifacts – 12 bronze heads of the animals from the Chinese zodiac. It's the third film in Chan's popular Armour of God series (think Hong Kong's answer to Indiana Jones), following 1986′s Armour of God (which infamously left Chan with a plastic plug filling a permanent hole in his head and slight hearing loss in one ear) and 1991′s Armour of God II: Operation Condor. Even that Operation Condor came out before Armour of God in the U.S., viewers can probably survive without seeing the first two. It'll also be Chan's 100th milestone film and his first film in the director's seat since 1998′s Who Am I?.
Though the teaser doesn't focus too strongly on plot, it is one of the best things I've seen out of Chan in a long time. Over the last decade, the Chinese action superstar has unfortunately been loaded down with film after film that has lacked the personality and charm that made him so fantastic in the first place. It's great to see him returning to a franchise that made him so popular in Asia and will hopefully get some huge buzz in the states. Asian Hawk (Chan's Armour of God character) is nothing but awesome and let's face it: what a return to form for Jackie Chan.
Though I never expected to see him in a rollerblade suit, the teaser is funny, physical, action-packed, incredibly dangerous-looking and just all-around Chan. From Drunken Master to Shanghai Noon, from Police Story to Rush Hour, Chan has always been about mixing action with personality and high risk with humor. Some of his best work has come from his involvement not just in front but also behind the camera and considering that the 58-year-old has spent the last seven years writing, producing, action-choreographing, and directing this third film, it already looks like this is going to be a winner.
We know that from his presentation at Comic-Con (where he showcased an older trailer and gave a demonstration of the rollerblade suit with a stuntman) that some of the wider shots are probably a stuntman rather than Chan, but still, this is some of the best recent action choreography. Given how huge an impact the Armour of God series has had on his career (at least in Asia), it makes sense that he would try to outdo himself as much as possible with what he says will be his last hurrah in the big action film market due to his age, safety, and family concerns. Though it'll be sad to see him leave the leading-man action life behind, my props to him for going all-out, vintage Chan-style.
Are you excited to see Jackie Chan's possibly last action film?
Hitting theaters in wide release this weekend is John Wick, a film I fell for at Fantastic Fest and I've since revisited. The actioner, from first-time filmmakers Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, follows Keanu Reeves' title character who left behind a life as a hitman for Russian mobsters to settle down for a quiet life with […]

As my review can attest to, I'm looking forward to not only watch John Wick again but also see how the film hits with general audiences when it arrives this weekend. The actioner stars Keanu Reeves as an ex-hitman who is crossed by the son of his old employer. When everything is taken from him, he decides to […]

Solo Stove Wood Burning Backpacking Stove - Ultra Light Weight Compact Design Perfect for Survival, Camping, Hunting & Emergency Preparation.
The patented Solo Stove is a unique wood burning stove that incorporates a secondary combustion for a more efficient and cleaner burn. The bottom vents allow air to enter and flow up the bottom of the grate to feed the primary combustion, a top down smolder. In addition, air entering in from the bottom vents heats up within the inner wall and rises up and out the top firebox vents causing a secondary combustion at the top of the stove. The Solo Stove actually cooks the smoke out of the wood and then burns the smoke not once, but twice! This technique makes for a cleaner burn which means less smoke and higher efficiency. Forget the Fuel: Our stoves cook your meals with nothing but the twigs you collect on your journey, eliminating the need for heavy, expensive, polluting petroleum gas. It's easy to light, fast to boil and clean to use. Gasify your Wood: A unique gasification and secondary combustion process lets our stoves achieve a highly efficient and more complete burn. This means you'll use fewer twigs to achieve a boil. It also means less smoke while cooking. Travel Lighter: The Solo Stove only weighs 9 oz and eliminates the need to carry fuel canisters - a great way to lighten your load. It also nests inside most pots leaving you with more space in your pack. Stay Green: By using renewable resources for fuel instead of petroleum, you're reducing your carbon footprint. You'll also keep fuel canisters out of the landfill. Be Prepared: The Solo Stove is great for emergency situations.

Vogelzang TR002 Shiloh EPA Wood Stove
The Shiloh is an air tight, plate steel wood stove that burns efficiently while producing maximum heat. A heavy cast iron door with air washed ceramic glass allows a magnificent view of the burning fire. Here's how it works: The primary air inlet at the front of the stove ignites the wood upon start up. Once burning, the secondary air inlet at the rear of the firebox feeds air to the top of the stove through three (3) ignition tubes directly above the wood. The result is that you have ignition, or fire, at the bottom and at the top of the woodstove which, in effect, consumes the wood. This is a very efficient method of getting the most energy possible out of the wood that you are burning. The Shiloh meets EPA requirements for Certified wood burning appliances as well as meeting State of Washington regulations for low emissions at 4.22 grams/hour. Over 75-Percent efficient, with a BTU rating of 68,000.

Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum, Black
The Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum lets you clean your fireplace, wood stove, or barbecue without making a dusty mess. Designed to remove warm-to-cold ashes, the Cougar is fire resistant and features a unique double filtration system that traps even the smallest dust particles.

Double filtration captures sub-micron particles for thorough cleaning. View larger.Flame Resistant for Safety
The Cougar is designed with safety in mind. It features a steel nozzle with a five-foot flame-resistant hose and a fireproof three-gallon steel chamber. The patented filter system uses fire-resistant fabric rated up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, and the remaining parts are all made out of thermo-plastics to withstand high temperatures.
NOTE: Never use a household, or shop vacuum to clean a fireplace, because warm embers can be hidden under ash, which acts like an insulator and can keep embers hot for days after you think the fire is out. The combination of swirling air and debris inside a flammable paper bag filter is an extremely dangerous fire hazard.
Filter System Captures the Smallest Airborne Ash Particles
The Cougar features a double filter system that ensures no ash escapes the vacuum. This system leaves your air ash free and makes the process of cleaning your fireplace simple, clean, and healthy.
Each of the system's filters is designed to trap the finest ash, and the second filter even captures sub-micron particles. This double-filter action effectively traps ash, so your air stays clear.

Your Cougar's filters can be cleaned without removing them from the vacuum, eliminating any potential mess. For a quick dust-off, simply remove the brass cap from the lid and jiggle the agitator rod from side to side to shake the filters and make ash particles fall off.
After you have vacuumed up 60 to 80 gallons of ash, your Cougar will be ready for a thorough cleaning. Just detach and vacuum the secondary and primary filters to clean them.
Three-Gallon Canister Requires No Bags
The Cougar Ash Vacuum features a cold-rolled steel canister that will hold up to three gallons of ash. This fireproof canister safely contains your ashes without bags, so you'll never need to worry about expensive and annoying replacements. Just remove the canister's lid when it's time to empty your ashes.
Removes Ash Quickly and Quietly
Thanks to its powerful, six-amp electric motor, the Cougar can suck up ash quickly and easily. What's more, specially designed motor housing makes operation as quiet as can be. In fact, the Cougar is the cadillac of ash vacuums, operating with 60% less noise than the Dustless Technologies Cheetah II.
To help speed up ash removal, the Cougar's crimped steel nozzle is designed to quickly pick up ash and leave larger debris behind--for burning at a later time. To use, just place the vacuum nozzle directly on the hearth and swipe it in a circular motion. Ash will flow smoothly through the hose without clogging.
The Dustless Technologies MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum is backed by a one-year limited warranty for home use.

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA and DENVER, COLORADO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/07/12 -- Meru Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:MERU), a leader in virtualized wireless LAN solutions, today announced its new Meru Education-Grade (MEG) wireless platform. This platform, comprised of Meru's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) provisioning and guest management software, and Meru's unique virtualized wireless LAN solutions, has been designed to help campus IT departments support academic goals to deliver learning-essential applications that work over a robust Wi-Fi network, despite the crush of BYOD.
"According to Gartner, Wi-Fi enabled devices will grow from less than 1 billion units in 2010 to more than 3 billion in 2015(i). A large number of these devices end up on university campuses. This growth is having a major impact on higher education IT professionals who are tasked with ensuring that wireless devices brought onto campus are on-boarded predictably and securely, regardless of the capacity crunch these devices place on the university's Wi-Fi networks," said Sarosh Vesuna, VP & general manager of the education business unit for Meru Networks. "The Meru Education-Grade wireless platform is designed to mitigate the impact of BYOD while enabling 'uninterrupted learning' for the entire university population."
Users on campus expect to connect reliably to Wi-Fi 24x7x365 - no excuses. Users also expect to roam seamlessly and enjoy application integrity even during peak usage. To respond to this challenge, campuses rely on their Wi-Fi network to support high capacity roll-outs, in a manner that is simple to deploy, maintain and manage. Unfortunately, many universities still suffer from cumbersome on-boarding, extended login times for students, dropped connections, and poor roaming, all of which can lead to repeated channel planning and site surveys to address their ever-growing capacity needs. These unmet expectations can create interrupted learning for students when technology gets in the way or fails to support the innovative goals for technology integration on campus.
In order to meet user expectations and provide suitable solutions, Meru introduces the Meru Education-Grade wireless platform based on Meru's unique single channel architecture.
The MEG wireless platform is designed to enable universities and colleges to deliver "Uninterrupted Learning" in three simple steps:
-- On-board - quickly on-board students, with automated secure BYOD client provisioning and flexible guest management, using Meru's Smart Connect and Guest Connect, which are part of Meru's Identity Manager software suite. -- Connect - reliably connect mobile devices on campus, whether roaming the quad or stationary in a densely packed lecture hall, using Meru's broad portfolio of Wi-Fi access points, wireless controllers and network management software, including: -- The new AP332 802.11n near-Gigabit access point for lecture halls, classrooms, libraries and other densely deployed areas; -- The new MC6000 wireless controller with up to 200Gbps capacity - the highest in the industry today - for large campus data centers or centrally managing distributed campus environments. -- Learn - enable enriched learning by deploying flipped classrooms, blended learning environments and other 21st century teaching and learning techniques which run on mobile devices. Solutions supported by the MEG wireless platform now include: -- Digital Classroom Management with Stoneware's LanSchool; -- Unified Communications & Collaboration with Microsoft Lync(TM); -- Bonjour services for Apple-centric learning environments; -- Federated Access for university guests using eduroam;
"We can make better use of our Wi-Fi network now, using it as a utility rather than a mere form of access. Meru's wireless platform enables our transformation to 21st century learning with flipped and hybrid classrooms, computer-based instruction, and unified communications and collaboration," said Peter Harvin, chief information officer for Anderson University.
For more information about Meru's MEG wireless platform, please visit http://www.merunetworks.com/industries/education.html
Meru will be at EDUCAUSE 2012, booth 708/710, to demonstrate the MEG wireless platform and new products designed for the needs of Higher Education.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Surrounded by the sandy Costa Blanca beaches and the crystalline waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Alicante has a rich heritage built over thousands of years. Alacant (as it's known in Valencian) has a deep history ranging from the first tribes that arrived at the slopes of Mount Benacantil to Greeks, Romans and Moors. Nowadays, this modern city features a bustling harbor, great Spanish nightlife, charming old streets and modern beach resorts.
Overlooking the city from the top of Mount Benacantil, the Castle of Santa Barbara was built during Islamic rule in the 9th century. Cascading down the slopes towards the center of the city, L'Ereta Park has terraced levels that offer stunning panoramic views of the city. The remains of the ancient Roman town of Lucentum are also just a few miles away.
Barrio de la Santa Cruz is the historic quarter, featuring narrow streets, old houses and cobbled steps. Framed by palm trees and covered with a snaking pattern of white, red and blue tiles, the Explanada de Espana is considered one of Spain's most beautiful promenades.
After arriving at Alicante Airport, indulge yourself in a resort near San Juan beach, or enjoy the view of luxurious yachts moored at the marina from a cozy B&B: Booking.com has the perfect spot for you to discover the magic of Alicante!

Two years and countless conversations later, Animal Allies will cut ties with Superior.
"By us getting out of the way, we're hoping that will allow the city of Superior to move forward with what works for them," Animal Allies Executive Director Rick Sailstad said.
Sailstad said Animal Allies initially entered a contract with Superior with an understanding a new shelter and adoption center would be built. The same shelter still stands today.
"Recently, new ideas have come forward and that mission may have changed for them," Sailstad said.
Sailstad said Superior wants to move forward with an intake-only facility. Mayor Bruce Hagen said they wouldn't just take animals; they would also require another organization to help with adoptions.
Hagen reiterated that model would not mean animals are euthanized. He said the ability to adopt the animals will be necessary.
Hagen also said he's not ruling out a full-service adoption shelter.
"It's not about doing it; it's about affordability," Hagen said.
Hagen said Animal Allies wanted to serve the entire county. He said that costs about $1 million more than a city shelter. Hagen said a city shelter costs between $2.1 to $2.3 million. Hagen said the city was also concerned about the cost of sustaining the shelter once it was built.
"There isn't anyone on the council who doesn't love, believe and want to take care of the animals," Hagen said. "It's a business decision about what can you sustain and afford."
Animal Allies will continue to manage the current shelter for 90 days.
Volunteers at the Superior shelter said employees there will be losing their jobs. Animal Allies could not be reached for comment on that.

British Gas reacts to Ofgem's white label loophole with single cheapest tariff across brands
Customers on British Gas and Sainsbury's Energy will be offered the same cheapest tariff, after Marketing revealed a loophole in Ofgem rules that could be exploited to avoid a crackdown on transparency.

British Gas is preparing to make a formal announcement tomorrow (16 January) that British Gas customers will be offered the cheapest tariff on Sainsbury's Energy, a white label brand it set up in partnership with Sainsbury's.
Yesterday morning, a search on price comparison site uSwitch found a three-bedroom family house on a standard tariff in south-east
Marketing revealed that British Gas and SSE could exploit a loophole in Ofgem's rules to avoid telling its customers they can get a cheaper deal on their white-label brands.
Ofgem has been attempting to increase transparency in the industry, but its Retail Marketing Review (RMR) rules do not yet cater for white-label brands.
An Ofgem spokesman told Marketing that it needed to give "further consideration" to the right regulatory framework for the white-label business model and, as a result, will be publishing a call for evidence at the end of this month.
He added: "In the interim, we have granted an exemption from certain RMR rules until 31 December 2014 for white-label providers that were in existence on or before 1 March 2013."
British Gas partnered with Sainsbury's and SSE tied with M&S to launch white-label brands under the Sainsbury's Energy and M&S Energy brand names before March last year.
SSE has not yet revealed if it will inform both SSE and M&S Energy customers of its cheapest tariff as a gesture of goodwill.
An SSE spokesperson said: "Suppliers are required to tell customers about their own cheapest tariff in written communications like bills, annual statements and letters.
"This does not currently extend to white-label brands, although Ofgem is considering implementing changes at the end of 2014."

West Ham's Andy Carroll bidding to get back among the goals against Swansea
Published: 31 January 2014
Updated: 21:23, 31 January 2014
Andy Carroll is aiming to score his first goal of the season
as he continues to build his form after returning from long-term injury when West Ham take on Swansea this weekend.
In an interview with West Ham TV, Carroll said: "It has been great being back around the lads and getting a few minutes on the pitch, and I'm looking forward to starting again in the Premier League.
"I can't wait to score my first goal of the season, hopefully it comes on Saturday."
Carroll added that although he could have played better in his first start of the season against Chelsea, hiss body is coping well with the stress of returning from the injury that ruled him out of the first half of the season.
He said: "I thought I did alright at Chelsea, obviously I had a shot before I came off, that I could've done better with. But I thought I put myself about and I felt good.
"Obviously it's going to be hard for me, not being fully match fit to go back out and do it all again, but I'm confident that I'm feeling good and I felt good against Chelsea and in the Manchester City game. Hopefully Saturday's exactly the same.
"The body's feeling surprisingly good, with all the work that I've been doing, before training and before games and obviously in the game. So I'm feeling pretty good."
Carroll scored for the Hammers when Swansea visited Upton Park last season and the Geordie striker is hopeful West Ham can break down Swansea's familiar passing style.
He said: "Scoring last year against them was a good memory and hopefully I can do that again, to get on the score sheet again would be great.
"I think we know how they're playing, they're going to be passing it around waiting for us to press them. We've just got to see what the manager wants to do and work on his tactics really."

CIMB announced at the end of August a 34% increase in April-June net profit at 889 million ringgit ($283 million). Like many banks, the increase is down by lower loan loss provisions. But where it differs is in the strong performance in its Indonesian unit, with net profit in the first half of this year at 1.13 trillion rupiah ($126 million).
The profit validates CIMBs successful bid to increase its presence in the country this July when it received regulatory approval to grab a further 19.67% stake in its Indonesian unit, known as CIMB Niaga, from Khazanah Nasional. The acquisition from the Malaysian governments investment holding company gives CIMB effective majority control of the banking unit in an economy that the IMF predicts will grow 6% this year.
CIMB groups healthy profitability this year is not an inevitable consequence of south-east Asias awe-inspiring growth. Instead, the banks executives, led by Nazir Razak, have transformed the institution over the past 20 years, from a middle-tier investment bank in Malaysia to a well-managed universal financial institution.
Underscoring its growing global presence, CIMB has, over the past year, established an asset management business in Brunei and has beefed up its Islamic investment banking capabilities in Bahrain. This years steadfast move into Middle East markets also represents growing cross-border liquidity flows between Asia and the Gulf.
Jamaica is getting back on track and could become an unlikely poster child for the IMF. However, elsewhere in the Caribbean the threat of default looms and some countries are not ready to ask for help
Bank debt issuance across Asia is soaring this year, driven by the need to comply with Basel III regulations. Fresh impetus from China is set to send volumes higher still
Africa has been on the cusp of mainstream capital markets for years. While the continent made a breakthrough in the variety of issuance it produced in 2012-13, 2014 looks like it will be the year when African borrowers finally become established
In an exclusive interview with Emerging Markets, Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda insisted the policies of Abenomics were working, not hurting, and defended the ways the world's big four central banks were operating monetary policy
Next year's IMF and World Bank meetings will be in the Peruvian capital Lima. Lucien Chauvin looks at how the country has succeeded in posting the fastest growth on the South American continent.
It is 13 years since the IMF called for an international agreement on how to wind up defaulted sovereign debt. Still there is no mechanism, and regrettably the vulture funds pursuing Argentina still seem to hold sway in the US. It's time for change
Hungary may have a relatively immature banking market but there is more growth visible there than there is across the CEE or, at present, across the eurozone

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, Dec 18, 2007 - Reference - 272 pages
"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at ourĀĀfamily cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"

There were no hero moments from the Black Caps this time as they crashed to a 33-run loss against South Africa in the deciding Twenty20 cricket international in Port Elizabeth today.
Brendon McCullum's side were comprehensively outplayed in all departments at St George's Park. They also lost the chance to claim their first series win over South Africa, with the Proteas triumphing 2-1.
Their rivalry now enters the test arena with the first of the two five-dayers, starting in Cape Town on January 2.
First New Zealand get the chance of a three-day warmup match against a South African XI in Paarl where they will bed in their tests players who have arrived in the republic.
New Zealand's new-look T20 squad had their moments in their short series over the last week but failed to fire today when the pressure went on.
And that pressure arrived from the start when South Africa won the toss and decided to bat, posting an imposing 179-6, led by man of the match Henry Davids (68 runs off 51 balls).
Chasing 180, the Black Caps needed a monster innings from someone, just as Martin Guptill had provided with his unbeaten 101 to single-handedly win the second match and tie up the series.
But it never came as they stuttered through to 146-9.
Guptill (24 off 20) and Brendon McCullum (25 off 22) were the best of the New Zealand batsmen.
After the early loss of Rob Nicol they put on 47 for the second wicket in six lively overs.
But from there the Kiwi innings quickly lost momentum. James Franklin (16), James Neesham (12), Nathan McCullum (17) and Corey Anderson (12) all got starts but no one in the middle order managed to go on and get the big score required to wrestle the advantage away from the slick Proteas.
South Africa dominated this match and were the better of the two revamped T20 squads over the series to deservedly lift the silverware.
They crushed the Kiwis in the opening match in Durban, had the game taken away from them by Guptill in East London and bounced back to be in charge in Port Elizabeth.
There was plenty of promising stuff from the Black Caps throughout the series but rarely did they gell to provide the team performance required, particularly today.
Mitchell McClenaghan again fired up, with the big Auckland left-arm quick taking 2-24 off his four overs to be the best of the New Zealand bowlers.
There was early hope when left-arm spinner Ronnie Hira removed Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis in the second over. And when McClenaghan claimed Quinton de Kock to have South Africa 2-26, there was some real hope for the tourists.
But an 89-run third wicket stand between Davids and Justin Ontong put South Africa in a commanding position.
And they pushed home that advantage with David Miller (28 off 12) and Farhaan Behardien (22 off 11) blasting some bonus runs at the end to post a big total that required aggression from the outset from the Kiwis.
But slick quickie Ryan McLaren knocked the top off the Black Caps' batting order and finished with 3-25.
Left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso showed the vulnerability of the New Zealand batting to slow bowling by also claiming 3-25, including the prized scalps of Guptill and McCullum.
