While most broker-dealers and their advisors remain stuck on social media's sidelines in lieu of any actionable guidance from either the Securities and Exchange Commission or FINRA, Edward Jones is quietly building a legion of "fans" on Facebook, with moderate success, according to a new report by Corporate Insight, a consulting firm in New York.
Edward Jones has 5,325 fans, attracted to the page by content urging them to acknowledge "National Save for Retirement Week," (its post Wednesay) and so on. All links lead back to Edward Jones's corporate site, which houses the pre-approved, static original content. Edward Jones's Facebook page doesn't allow fans to post comments on its site. "It's all just Edward Jones content," said James McGovern, vice president of consulting services at Corporate Insight. "So it's very safe that way."
McGovern noted that outside of Edward Jones's Facebook page and a secret pilot program one of the large firms is conducting with a handful of its advisors (McGovern wouldn't say which one, but he added that when one firm is doing something, the others usually aren't far behind) there still isn't much going on with broker-dealers in the social-media space.
The largest firms are clearly chomping at the bit, though, and FINRA, at least, is taking notice. McGovern said he recently sat on a panel at a conference with a FINRA staffer attempting to describe what is and isn't kosher, but he noted that until the regulators prosecute a firm and in doing so set a precedent, Wall Street won't be tweeting anytime soon. "It's just easier to have a blanket 'no' policy," he said.

"Hey Stacy, I was just wondering if you ever wanted to do something besides/along with training horses? If training didn't work out what do you think you would have chosen as an alternate career path?"-Kendall
I always dreamed of working with horses. Growing up I thought the only real options in the industry were; farrier, vet, something to do with racehorses. I actually cried when I grew over five feet tall!
I was a junior in high school when a teacher asked me, "What will you do after high school?"
I responded, "I dunno, go to school for accounting or something."
I'm not exactly sure where that answer came from, especially considering that my kids have greater math skills now then I did as a junior in high school. Maybe it was inspired because it was my math teacher asking the question. I was good with accounting and at least I knew people could do it as a living.
That teacher asked me one of the most important questions anyone has ever asked me, "What do you want to do?"
Without hesitation I answer (full of sarcasm), "I want to ride horses but you can't go to school for that." (teenage eye-roll for added emphasis)
He challenged me to go look at the college book…right then. (…pre-internet moment here).
I was shocked that you COULD go to school for that. So I did.
Knowing what I know now, but removing the horses, I would teach and write. Or write and teach. I love the process of learning and teaching goes hand and hand with it.
I also love writing because in general, I get a chance to think about my subject and really study it. Blogging daily is actually hard for me because I don't have as much time to polish everything the way I wish I could and because there are always critics.
I was so shy when I was young that it is probably a shock to people who knew me that I speak in public like I do. My point in mentioning this little fact is that I never would have guessed that I would speak in public like I do. Life is funny like that, it is strange to think about all of the options it contains.
If you read this post, leave a comment about a career you would love to do…and why you are NOT doing it.

1 pack contains 12g, can use for 2-3 times(depends on the amount of usage) Do not use more than twice a week. The effect is really great~~
Directions for use:
1. After cleansing, apply the mask cream onto the face, tear off the mask after 30minutes, and then apply some toner.
2. Please slowly tear off the mask, if you tear it very quickly it will hurt your skin. It is normal that you will feel some pain when you remove the mask.
For better result, it is recommended to steam your face before using the mask! It's easy, just use a basin to fill some hot water, face down to the basin to steam it for about 5-10minutes, and then apply with the mask cream.

Master Theses Library
From 2008 – 2011 The Lorian Center for Incarnational Spirituality offered two master's Degree options, a Masters in Contemporary Spirituality and a Masters in Spiritual Direction. MCS Students were involved in a two year program of study in Incarnational Spirituality and its principles followed by one year of individualized focus on their thesis topic area. MSD students completed an additional year of training in Inter-spiritual Spiritual Direction which was followed by their thesis writing year. Although Master's Degree options are not active at this time, the work done by this initial group of students opened new doors for exploring incarnational thought and application.

Just like that, the IceHogs and their Blackhawks prospects have erased any concern over their 0-3-0-1 start.
Sunday's 3-1 win over the San Antonio Rampage was their fourth straight and after managing just five goals in the first four games, Rockford has now scored 15 in their last four games.
Ben Smith opened the scoring with his second goal of the season less than two minutes in, but the Rampage tied it with less than five minutes to play in the opening frame. That was all San Antonio could muster against IceHogs goalie Carter Hutton, who made 23 saves.
Martin St. Pierre's second goal of the season proved to be the game-winner and highly-touted defenseman Adam Clendening scored his first goal in the third period.
Smith added an assist, Jeremy Morin had a pair of assists and Brandon Pirri continues to produce with an assist on Smith's goal.
The IceHogs are off until Friday when they host the Chicago Wolves.

Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMCL), a leading provider of medication and supply management solutions and analytics software for healthcare facilities, today announced that nationally-ranked Hackensack University Medical Center (HackensackUMC), the largest provider of inpatient and outpatient services in New Jersey, selected Omnicell as its exclusive provider of automated medication management solutions throughout the 775-bed hospital. After an evaluation of competitive solutions, HackensackUMC selected Omnicell's G4 platform to improve pharmacy and nursing workflow and enhance overall patient safety. The hospital will also implement the Omnicell Anesthesia Workstation™ G4 in the operating rooms to automate processes for improving charge capture.
Committed to providing the most advanced patient care, HackensackUMC has been listed as the number one hospital in New Jersey and one of the top four New York metro area hospitals in the 2012-13 annual U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings, also receiving nine national rankings and four New York Metro Area rankings. It has also been recognized for six consecutive years as one of America's 50 Best Hospitals by HealthGrades. HackensackUMC's selection of Omnicell's G4 medication administration technology is the most recent example of its commitment to advanced medical care. Prior to its Omnicell investment, the hospital fully deployed an electronic health record and is currently implementing a bedside barcode administration system.
HackensackUMC evaluated several vendors in a thorough process with collaboration of pharmacy, nursing, IT and radiology departments. HackensackUMC is a Magnet® recognized hospital for nursing excellence and it was important in the evaluation process to select solutions that nurses believe would improve workflows and increase patient satisfaction.
"Our previous medication administration technology met our workflow needs when initially implemented. However, over time we needed a solution that will address patient specific medications and offer more robust inventory and data management processes," said Nilesh Desai, RPh., MBA Director of Pharmacy HackensackUMC. "We elected to go with Omnicell for a system wide conversion because we felt they could take us to the next level of improving quality, patient safety and efficiency. Omnicell's company philosophy, current solution set and product roadmap for the future all align with our mission that 'the patient comes first.'"
HackensackUMC will begin a progressive six to eight month rollout of the following Omnicell solutions:
In November 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released new guidelines for medication administration that require time-sensitive medications to meet the 30-minute window before or after the scheduled time for all scheduled medication administration1. HackensackUMC expects to be able to better comply with these regulations using the integrated Medication Label Printer to label critical IVs and antibiotics, in addition to other patient medications, for more timely and secure administration. Additionally, the G4 platform offers a single unified database across the continuum of medications maintained in automated dispensing cabinets, accessed through an intuitive user interface. The single database decreases the risk of human error and saves significant pharmacy time by eliminating the need for repetitive entry of drug formularies and rules in multiple locations.
"HackensackUMC is a very forward-thinking hospital with a reputation for high-quality care and we look forward to collaborating with them to enhance patient safety," said J. Christopher Drew, executive vice president, field operations at Omnicell. "Patient safety and quality are two of the main priorities of the hospital, and Omnicell shares the same passion and commitment to reducing medication errors. We work closely with our customers to provide automation solutions that optimize the accurate delivery of medications while improving clinician efficiency."
HackensackUMC, a non-profit teaching and research hospital located in Bergen County, New Jersey, is the largest provider of inpatient and outpatient services in the state, and home to the only Level II Trauma Center in the county. This 775-bed facility has gone beyond traditional thinking by creating an entire campus of care, including: the Heart & Vascular Hospital, the John Theurer Cancer Center, the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital, and the Donna A. Sanzari Women's Hospital. As a result of using science and creativity to push medicine further, HackensackUMC was listed as the number one hospital in New Jersey and one of the top four New York metro area hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report, and has received nine national rankings in: Cancer; Cardiology & Heart Surgery; Ear, Nose & Throat; Gastroenterology; Geriatrics; Neurology & Neurosurgery; Orthopedics; Urology; and the Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital ranked as one of the Top 25 Best Children's Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery in the 2012-13 Best Children's Hospitals list. The medical center has also been named one of the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals® and one of America's 50 Best Hospitals by HealthGrades®. It is listed among the Leapfrog Top Hospitals List, received 17 Gold Seals of Approval™ by the Joint Commission, and is listed as one of the 50 Best Hospitals in America by Becker's Hospital Review. It was first hospital in New Jersey and second in the nation to become a Magnet® recognized hospital for nursing excellence. The medical center is the hometown hospital of the New York Giants, and remains committed to its community through fundraising and community events. To learn more about one of the nation's 50 best hospitals, visit the HackensackUMC website.

(NASDAQ: OMCL) is a leading provider of automation and business information solutions enabling hospitals and other healthcare organizations to streamline the medication administration process and manage costly medical supplies for increased operational efficiency and enhanced patient safety.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES --A bloody prison riot in Venezuela left at least 61 people dead and 120 injured.
The violence broke out between national guard troops and armed inmates at Uribana prison in the city of Barquisimeto. Officials said inmates attacked guards who were trying to carry out an inspection. Nearly all of the injuries were from gunshots.
The government sent troops to the prison after reports of clashes between inmates over the past couple days.
The prison has since been evacuated and all of the inmates were taken to other facilities. The violence was the latest in a series of bloody riots in the country's prisons.

Supporting Carmel College Students in their Food Science Studies
The New Zealand Institute of Food Science and Technology has organised a Student Product Development Challenge. The challenge provides teams of senior students the experience of exploring creative solutions to practical food science problems and questions. The teams work alongside food industry mentors to develop an innovative new food product.
Annabelle Boret, Imake's Techincal Manager (on behalf of Imake-parent brand of Mad Millie) provided a team of students at Carmel College with a cheque to support them with their project on frozen yoghurt.

If you have weaned, what method did you use?
Shoot! I'm so disappointed I missed this poll because I have a finger sucker (4.5 years old) and a pacifier lover (21 months). Neither is weaned. I agree there are pros and cons but I also would NOT recommend encouraging a baby to be a finger sucker! For mine, she has callouses and spits out all the spit that builds up in her mouth from it onto her pillow. So yes, her pillow is wet and stinks. It's awful. But I try not to shame her and just tell her that one day she won't want to do it anymore. (fingers crossed!)
I also wanted to add what my daughter's dentist told us last visit in regards to finger sucking:
He said that once she starts losing baby teeth she will not find the same gratification in sucking her fingers because the pressure will be different inside her mouth. Sounded interesting. I'll be hoping it's true in about a year or two!

Many of you may not know that I maintain a special email list just for letting people know about deals I've found on scifi books on Kindle. For example, right now Nick Cole's Dragon Award-winning novel Ctrl Alt Revolt is only $.99 on Kindle. In the past, I've featured deals on books by Neil Stephenson, Kurt Vonnegut, Blake Crouch, Octavia Butler and many more. I also often include at least one book by a less well known author, like Nick Cole or Jenn Thorson. Usually the books I feature are priced from $.99 to $2.99, and I generally send three or four emails a week.
If you'd like to be in the know about these great scifi book deals, just put your email address in the box below. You benefit by getting great scifi deals, the authors benefit by making more sales, and I get a small percentage of the sale from Amazon. It's a win-win-win deal! I won't spam you or email you about anything else. Thanks!

The Soul of the World by Joshua Silverman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"A black sphere formed before her. She hurled it at the closest man, striking him in the heart. He doubled over, clutching his chest as the black energy spread. His skin prickled. Black veins sprouted up over his heart then spread to his neck, face, and head. The man's eyeballs rolled up and he collapsed to the floor with a thud."
A scene so vivid like the above definitely made me look over my shoulder at least once. Joshua Silverman's writing made it exciting to get through each chapter.
This is definitely an above average story that leaves the reader wanting more. I look forward to exploring the rest of the series. The story although simple is made unique with the author's words and scene setting.
Both good and bad characters made the story more interesting. They had held my interest and the action was entertaining. Bottom line this was a fantastic read and it is a great series I recommend.

I'm using a ADC11/12 USB and i wrote my software in VBA for Excel. As I read in your forum, I added the following lines after the adc11_set_interval call:
Call adc11_run(NumberOfValues, 0)
While adc11_ready() = 0
Call adc11_stop
Now i have different questions:
1) Do I have to add this sequence one time in my programm or each time I call the set_interval routine?
2) In your example you wrote as the number of values = 1000 in the adc11_run routine. I want wo collect 10000 values of each channel,
but when I write 10000, I become trapped in the while adc11_ready() loop. What may be a solution?
3) In one topic you wrote, that there is a help manual. But with my adc comes only a manual, where are explanations for the "standard"-routines like set_intervall e.g., but not for these 3 routines as mentioned above. Is it possible, to download it anywhere?
Thank you!

Insider: Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Aren't Worried About Being Apart! They Skype!
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have been through long distance before and a source tells HollywoodLife.com they're taking their current separation in stride! Do YOU think they'll last?
When it comes to busy schedules and long distance relationships, this isn't Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's first time at the rodeo. They have lived through far worse trials and tribulations throughout the last two years, so an insider says the couple isn't concerned in the slightest about Miley being on tour for the next several months.
"They are dating and really not worrying about being apart," a source close to Miley tells HollywoodLife.com."They understand each other's schedules and will do what they have to do to make it work. There are no problems."
So what are Miley, 18, and 21-year-old Liam's secrets for keeping their relationship hot when they are separated by thousands of miles?
"They're big on communication," the insider explains. "They'll definitely be in touch with phones and Skype and stuff like that!"
In fact, some fans believe Liam actually came to support Miley for her first show of the Gypsy Heart Tour in Quito, Ecuador April 29. One fan taped Miley singing "7 Things," and zoomed the lens backstage where Miley's mom, Tish Cyrus, and a boy who looks like Liam were watching.
UPDATE: Liam's rep tells HollywoodLife.com Liam wasn't at the concert in Ecuador. That is someone else in the video!

Mg12 supplements are 100% pure magnesium with the addition of 20 essential mineral salts straight from the North Basin of the Dead Sea. The company's main goal is to bring all-natural magnesium-rich supplements into the homes of all that are deficient.
Mg12 produces the purest and most effective magnesium oil on the market. The most important aspect for magnesium supplements is the source of the magnesium oil. There are numerous salt water sources available for the magnesium chloride needed to manufacture magnesium oil but very few are considered to be clean and effective. Only two sources have been found to be virtually free of both: the Dead Sea and deep underground basins.
Mg12 has chosen the Dead Sea as the source of magnesium oil because along with its unsurpassed purity, it also contains a unique combination of trace elements that have been known for providing health benefits for thousands of years.
Dead Sea salt products produced by Mg12 provide a host of healing properties such as slowing the aging of the skin, combating daily stress, reducing fluid retention, increasing circulation, strengthening nails and bones, relaxing muscles, and much more.

If you did indeed "trip the light fandango," the use of the word in bed might prove you white. Hell, all of the members of Procol Harum were your problem. Procol Harum were the only all white British band on The Big Chill soundtrack. So if you did, to use the next lyric, "turned cartwheels cross the floor, (naked)" well, that might explain your sterility, your inability to have children now and why you're adopting. Procol Harum's presence on The Big Chill soundtrack isn't terribly different than the babies available for adoption, there are very few white ones in a field of darker options.
I'm working off the top of my head and I think the next lyric is, "you were feeling kinda' seasick," but don't worry about the next line or the band crying out for more … it's time to adopt. You already did yourself in with the cartwheels. Remember?
The reason that you're seasick? Adoption is scary.
So now adoption, and you're pretty clear that you don't want a bullfrog named Jeremiah. Well, you might consider a black child, they are considerably cheaper than adopting a white child. "Joy to the World, all the boys and girls," and, of course, your bank account.
Adoption is tough, tougher to have a black kid with white parents. You can load his iPod with much Eminem but, he/she's going to know they are not white.
You want a white kid? Well, that's going to cost you.
NPR in their recent "Six Word Series," gave me this, Six Words: 'Black Babies Cost Less To Adopt'
Or, as my Pakistani friend, who wishes he was a mixed child like Christiane Amanpour put it….Black baby: $18k. Biracial: $24-26k. White: $35k
Turns out it's true. And she could be president. The adopted child from Ethiopia or the Crenshaw District, not the Iranian born one like Ms. Amanpour.
I could continue with both the difficulty of adoption, especially if you get them at a later age. I could easily speak of something I don't know anything of despite having grown up with adopted children. Adoption is difficult at its base level and tough for anyone considering it.
Thankfully, unlike ruining Santa Claus for my older first cousin, when I let it slip that Santa Clause wasn't real. I never had to worry about accidentally slipping around my black friends who were adopted by white parents. I think they knew.
The Big Chill Soundtrack, is something I could equally continue on, but to take good music and diffuse an impossible choice is just tough.
I could make light of certain songs and their titles … but, someone, simply, has just got a new child to love.

Mississauga's Brand New CELEBRATION SQUARE: a Walk-about –a Warning.
June 18th, 2011
Yes, I had a walk-about Mississauga's CELEBRATION SQUARE today.
As is our custom, here's the video complete with transcript.
Mississauga's Brand New CELEBRATION SQUARE: a Walk-about –a Warning. (6:28 min)
(Click here to go directly to the clip on YouTube)
MISSISSAUGAWATCH (Mississauga Civic Centre walking out to Mississauga CELEBRATION SQUARE, June 18, 2011)
It is June the 18th, 2011 and I'm here inside the Mississauga Civic Centre and this is the first time that I've stepped on the Mississauga CELEBRATION SQUARE since they closed it down.
And what I want to do —and I've done this at numerous other city halls or public buildings, is what I call the Video Surveillance Pop-In Test.
MISSISSAUGAWATCH (touring Mississauga CELEBRATION SQUARE, June 18, 2011)
And I'm going to walk here and just take a look at how different it is and just record my first impressions.
And we have the video surveillance camera up here. And that one's been there since 2006 when I first recorded it.
And this is going to be a war memorial here.
I guess this is going to be the skating rink eventually. It's going to be good for kids. I mean people are using it right now. Already.
Let's see, the first place to look, are of course, posts. And so far nothing.
I remember one of the things about the old city hall —you know, the way it was structured, in that it had a massive yellow wall right through here.
I always considered it symbolic of the barrier between the Governed versus Those Who Govern.
Looking around some more.
You know, I by now should be able to pick up on the video surveillance cameras. There doesn't seem to be any.
And just taking a look here. So far the only one is that one right there at the apex of the building.
It's going to be a massive stage. And zero doubt what will happen on Wednesday, is Council of course is going to sit and share their wisdom from there.
Now it's going to be interesting what these guys are advertising.
So Mississauga has gone all Toronto on us. It's going to be interesting how much they get. Like in cost per second.
Lady walking her dog.
But I can say right now, and this is with certainty, because I've become something of an expert —there is no video surveillance on this site anywhere, except the apex, right there.
So. That's going to be interesting.
And the other thing that's interesting is you have here the Civic [sic] Centre Drive. And Councillor Nando Iannicca said it is possible that, you know, they'll open it up on certain occasions and then keep it closed at other times.
So quite a bit of flexibility there.
Oh look at this. There's a knob right there. Oh yeah. And another knob.
Now these guards are exempt from Bill 159 and have no viable public complaints system. Their security bosses investigate them and all it takes to stop an investigation is for those guards to confess to something —and you can bet that their strategy is to confess to something lesser than what the complainant was complaining about.
Actually in some respects that's worse than video surveillance because I've documented so many examples of guards lying. And their bosses. People who get and run afoul of them aren't even going to have the benefit of video surveillance to help them out.
Yeah, I wanted to come here because, I think one of the things that I want to do is try and see whether I can get my husband to videotape from there on Wednesday down on what's happening here. While I'm over there covering the actual Council meeting.
Because it will be historic. No question.
And you can bet the political hacks will be really hacking it up, grinding it out —300%. And sometimes 300% really is possible.
This is different. Before we never had access to this little amphitheater. Now they're actually putting it to use.
Here's something else that's interesting. They've put the, I think it's called "Wisteria" up again. Starting new. So that's neat.
I can tell you this. Regarding, "don't be a litterbug", I've seen City Staff tossing cigarette butts right here as they were smoking.
So I can confirm for now that that is the only video surveillance camera anywhere in this region for now.
And we have at the door here, two warning signs for automated video surveillance cameras. And that was only because of lobbying by Donald Barber and me.
Despite video surveillance cameras around, there are [sic] no signage at all. And we had a Security Manager lying about it.
MISSISSAUGAWATCH (inside Mississauga Civic Centre, June 18, 2011)
And what I'm going to do is show you one of the things, about the only—
ELEVATOR (Mississauga Civic Centre, June 18, 2011)
Going up.
MISSISSAUGAWATCH (inside Mississauga Civic Centre, June 18, 2011)
—truthful thing that's going on.
ELEVATOR (Mississauga Civic Centre, June 18, 2011)
Parking Level One.
MISSISSAUGAWATCH (inside Mississauga Civic Centre, June 18, 2011)
And magically, it really is Parking Level One.
So this is about the only thing inside City Hall that you can actually trust as not lying to you.
[Mark Knopfler, "Don't Crash the Ambulance"]
Since we're talking about the history of the Mississauga Civic Centre, I just realized that I have unique Civic Centre material that I videotaped back on November 18, 2007.
On that date I documented every outside perimeter wall of Mississauga's "Big Yellow" City Hall and shot the tape non-stop. This resulted in a video record 1 hour, 7 minutes, 32 seconds long. The footage confirmed that while City Hall bristled with video surveillance cameras, there was absolutely no signage up advising citizens of their presence. This ran contrary to the Province's Guidelines for the Use of Video Surveillance Cameras in Public Places —and made liars out of the Security bosses.
No Signage didn't just violate the Provincial guidelines, the same Corporate Security hacks also violated the City's own Video Surveillance policy —that Security authored!
The Council of the City of Mississauga passed the Video Surveillance policy back on December 12, 2006. The policy states:
"SIGNAGE: A sign will be installed in a clearly visible location at all facilities which are subject to surveillance."
My own November 2007 video "surveillance" confirmed that Mississauga City Hall, Mississauga Central Library and Mississauga Living Arts Centre had no evidence of a signal sign ANYWHERE.
I know this is difficult to believe but the fact is that MISSISSAUGAWATCH has yet to find a Corporate guideline or policy that City of Mississauga Corporate Security hasn't violated —and then lied about!
With that intro, here's a true Oldie —a 1 hour, 7 minutes, 32 seconds on November 18, 2007 video record of the Mississauga Civic Centre compressed into 1 minute 35 seconds —music the William Tell Overture.
I called it "MISSISSAUGA SIGNZ" because the entire purpose of the video was to provide irrefutable proof that there were no Signs!

And what the heck, might as well include irrefutable proof that Mississauga's Living Arts Centre had no video surveillance signage up despite Security Manager Jamie Hillis' "SIGNAGE: A sign will be installed in a clearly visible location at all facilities which are subject to surveillance" claims to the contrary.
Note, this video documentation of the Living Arts Centre was conducted on Nov 21, 2007.

Last. Do I have an "appropriate" photo to end with?… Yeah.

Huh Says:
You should check out the new park on Princess Royal. Huge towering cameras everywhere.
The Mississauga Muse Says:
To: Huh,
Thanks for your tip. Have to say it surprised me because I've driven past that park frequently keeping a vigilant eye out for video surveillance cameras and didn't see a one.
So just letting you know that I went down to the new park on Princess Royal and had a close walk-about.
I didn't see a single video surveillance camera. Now there are a LOT of light installations that sure do a great job looking like they're video surveillance cameras.
But they're not.
Note too that I videotaped my session as a baseline record should the knobs decide on installing them later on.
Should also say that I didn't go inside the little building (washroom) there.
Just for the record, I support video surveillance as an irreplaceable tool for law enforcement. But in the hands of the Unethical (and City of Mississauga Corporate Security *is* unethical as confirmed through emails, video and Freedom of Information) their video surveillance cameras need to be treated with the utmost suspicion.
And their hack-guards and security bosses even more so.
Again, thanks for the tip!

You need The Best Gun Safe if you own a handgun or a long gun. Too many accidents are occurring these days with firearms. What is even sadder is that children are using firearms from their parent's collections to act out anger toward schoolmates. This situation can't tolerate in the 21st century. Instead of banning weapons as the current administration is advocating. A better solution is to place the weapons out of reach of anyone except the owner and their designated secondary users.
In this way, we can still exercise our rights under the second Amendment and protect our society at the same time. That is the purpose of our review today to let you see what is currently available that will do the job and still be affordable for the average gun owner and their family. We've selected our choices under some very strict guidelines and considerations. Each of them must be of the quality make and be easy to install. Nest they must have sufficient numbers of possible combinations to thwart most thieves and intruders out there today.
In contrast, they must be accessible quickly by the legal owners of the weapon(s). We think you will be pleased with our choices, and you will see some of the other things that we feel make for an outstanding Gun Safe as well.

How to choose the best gun safe for the money?
- Biometric identification:
Here the ability to identify a person by their fingerprint is essential to quick access to a weapon. The next best thing would be a weapon that wouldn't fire unless it is in the hands of its legal owner. Barring that we'll have to settle for access that prevents all except those who are programmed into the system from gaining access to a lethal weapon.
- Sufficient battery life to last a minimum of a year before replacing :
Let's face it you have better things to do and enough on your plate already beside trying to remember if you changed the batteries in your Gun Safe. Therefore, a one-year buffer should be enough to mark down on a calendar without too much trouble. Along with this, there should be an emergency method of accessing the Gun Safe if the owner is unable to be present. This is solved by the use of override keys, which should be kept separately from the safe in a secure location for just such an event if it were to happen.
- Silent in operation:
When you need access to your weapon you don't want the entire neighborhood informed of the event. Especially if you have an intruder in your home and they can then find you before you are ready to deal with them. So, a stealth mode is desirable and today you will see a couple of models that have this as their primary strength.
- A large number of permutations in the number of possible combinations:
Whether you are using Biometrics of combination, the most number of possible combinations help defeat the brute force approach that is often used to access many safes today. Many of the ones you'll see today have over 12 million possible combinations which should keep a would-be thief busy until doomsday. (Or at least until the police arrive)
- Secured mounting:
Being able to prevent someone from simply picking up your Gun Safe and walking off with it can be stymied by having the proper mounting hardware and pre-drilled mounting points.
All of the safes you see today are designed for use with masonry or hardwood mounting. You can also use subterfuge as well by hiding the Gun Safe from view inside a cabinet, table or even a desktop. However, always make sure everything is securely fastened to make removal as close to impossible, as you are able.
Other Considerations before buying Gun Safe
- LCD Displays
- Alarms for tampering or status
- Built-in lighting
- Simplicity in entering and changing access
- Lightweight in design
- Heavy duty locking bolts
- Locking out everyone if too many wrong combinations are tried
Top Rated Gun Safe Reviews 2018
BARSKA is one of the leading makers of Gun accessories. They produce such things like tactical scopes and gun safes. Today we are fortunate to review a selection of their wares and starting the ball rolling we'll be looking at the "Quick Access Biometric Rifle Safe".
This is a small footprint safe that can fit almost anywhere in your home through a location with a solid heavy-duty floor is recommended as this safe is designed to be floor or wall mounted. This would mean an area with a concrete floor would be ideal.
Though it will only hold three long guns, you could add a handgun hanger assortment to allow you to put your hand weapons in there as well.
Made from heavy gauge metals, it resists tampering and with the biometric technology embedded within the door you can make sure only the immediate family or those you choose have access to your firearms. With a 120 Identity memory, you'll have ample space to set everyone's Biometrics in. The system runs for a year on 4 AA batteries and comes with a 1-year warranty as well. In the case of total failure of the biometrics, you can still access your weapons via key as well. Your weapons can now be secured from accidental access by a child or theft.
If you are worried about someone getting access to you handgun then Sentry has the answer for you. At .08 cubic feet is has enough room for a full sized handgun and a ready supply of ammo.
It opens silently with a gas piston cushion piston that allows you to draw your weapon in complete silence. This is the perfect gun safe for police, military, and other First Responders who are required to be armed at all times and yet prevents theft or a curious child from gaining access to your weapon.
The safe has provisions for hard mounting into masonry or wood. Once it is in place it is virtually impossible to move.Programming you, biometrics is simple and a primary and a secondary user are allowed. However, there is also an override key as well that bypasses the biometrics in an emergency.
4 AA batteries power the locking mechanism and in the event of a failure with both the biometrics and the gas piston, a magnet and the override key will let you gain access to your firearm.
Since this is an obtrusive safe you can place it within easy reach and yet out of direct line of sight. You know your weapon is available quickly and silently if the need arises and no one else is any the wiser.
When you feel threaten in the home such as in the case of home invasions, which are now on the rise.
Seconds count, which is why the "SpeedVault is just what you are looking for when it comes to rapid and immediate access to your hand weapon.
Enter your code and your weapon is there for immediate use. No fumbling as all you have to do is reach in and it's in the palm of you hand ready for action.
Made of heavy steel and mounts securely to a wall of your choice. You can mount it high enough to deter the young ones and still have it available for your use if the need arises.
Made in Bolivia where violence and theft were much more of a threat during the period of turmoil in the 80's this design came out as the answer to home protection and keeping guns out of the hands of children or others.
Today this knowledge can save your life in the "Post 911" and the "War on Terror" world where you never know what is going to happen.
You can be prepared to defend your family, home, and property in an instant and in those valuable seconds; the speed of access to this safe just might save yours or a family member's life.
Not only will it provide a secure haven for your handgun. However, is will hold other valuables like jewelry, passports, and other important papers from theft or unauthorized access.
If you recall BARSKA is one of the major players when it comes to Biometric safes. Your handgun now is protected and only your biometric data will unlock the door to grant access. You, however, have the option to program in up to 30 other individuals should you desire it.
The safe measures in at 16.5 X 7.75 X 14.5" You can easily store one handgun and ready ammunition for it.Mounts virtually anywhere and can even be made to look like part of your furniture by mounting it within a coffee table cabinet or end table.
Only you need to know its true purpose. It comes with all the hardware you need to mount it where you desire and all you need is an electric drill and either wood or masonry bits to complete mounting the safe.
The heavy gauge steel construction deters theft and the biometrics keep young hands from reaching for things they should not. This way your children are safe and yet you have rapid access to you home defense weapon in just seconds.
This is the difference between keeping your family safe and attending a funeral in today's increasingly violent world.
You are sound asleep something awakens you. It could be a slight sound of a window opening or the sliding of your patio doors. But, you feel you are not alone.
This is the time when a biometric safe can be the one thing that prevents you from becoming an early morning addition on the morning news.
You reach over and at the touch of your fingers; the GunVault disgorges your firearm to your waiting hand. Now you are safe and can deal with an intruder after you have dialed 911 and are awaiting the police.
You can take up a preplanned position and await help to arrive and if necessary, you can defend your life or those of your family if there is an intruder on the premises.
This gun safe weighs in at only about 5 pounds and yet provides maximum security for one handgun and a ready supply of ammo.
You also needn't worry about a child opening it by accident and harming themselves or others playing. You have 12 million permutations they would have to try first in order to gain access and they would be old and gray before then.
For you, however, it only takes seconds and your weapon is securely in your hand.
A larger version of the gun safe we've just talked about is the GV2000S. Here with a removable shelf, you can store two handguns comfortably. Each gun is in their own separate padded compartment. You, however, might want to stash your other valuables or additional ammunition on the second shelf. The possibilities are unlimited. Again, you have the 12 million possible number combinations that make this an virtually unbeatable safe to open.
It withstands hand-tools and would require major industrial cutting tools that no thief is likely to be carrying around with them. So, if you want a safe place to put your precious papers, and a firearm or two this is the perfect safe that can do both jobs with ease.
Additional safeguards protect your valuables as well. If the wrong combination is entered repeatedly, the GunVault locks up tighter than a drum and only the master release key will open it. This prevents thieves from using the brute force approach to gain entry to you firearm's store.
This is the gun safe that has the room and security you need if you have two firearms or want to store one and valuable papers and possessions from theft or loss. It is viewable here online and you can see how it will look in your home.
Using 3D fingerprint technology developed for the FBI, you have what may be the most advanced Biometric Gun Safe on the planet. It also provides you with a plethora of other alerts to go with the advanced biometric sensors suite.
This is the safe that has it all:
AutoLock - Seals itself upon closure and you don't have to check to verify to be sure.
NiteLite - makes sure you can see what you are reaching for when the door is opened in the dark.
Tamper Alerts - This is a voluble feature as it lets you know when a child or another unauthorized person is attempting to access the safe.
LCD display - lets you know what's going on inside your gun safe and allows for a complete status check of all the internal systems.
SelfCheck - The entire safe will check itself out upon your command and will let you know if anything is amiss.
Stealth Mode - This is the feature that sets this safe over and above many of the other gun safes on the market today. If you feel you are not alone the safe will open without letting a soul know you are accessing your weapon. This gives you the edge if an intruder is in the home with you and you don't want to give yourself away or let them know you are accessing your weapon(s).
You can also get an optional internal gun rack that lets you store two or more firearms each in their own separate slot along with spare ammo, speed loaders, and extra clips depending on the type of gun you favor.
Our third entry from GunVault is one that is well padded and designed to let you store one or more handguns and their holster and spare clip with ease.
12 million combinations are possible and its rugged construction keeps everyone but you from getting access to your gun. However, when you want it opens like a butterfly's wings and instantly you have cold iron in your hand.
This then gives you the sense of security you need should you feel threatened in your home late at night.The safe is constructed from quality materials that resist all but the most advanced cutting tools. It is also small enough to be mounted anywhere and not be obvious to the casual eye.
Nevertheless, you know it's there and that though along will bring you peace of mind should your spouse be away on a business trip and you don't have to feel the dread of wondering "What If..." when you child is playing unsupervised, because they will not be able to open it and possibly harm themselves or their companions as well.
Your weapon(s) are secure until you feel you have the need. Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing that no one can steal them or access them without your express permission. You can see what will protect your guns and your family here.
Number 3 from our friends at BARSKA, you have a top opening gun safe that lets you reach down inside to grasp your weapon. It will respond to up to 30 individuals that you program into the system and you get their famous one-year warranty to back that up and more. You can mount it anywhere you like be it on the floor, inside your desk, and in a wall alcove out of curious sight.
You can even become ingenious and place it inside a wall or behind a bit of paneling. The biometric prevents unauthorized access to you handgun though it allows you to quickly withdraw it should the need arise. You can take it out and have it in firing position in just seconds.
However, practice is necessary to ensure reliable and speedy placement of a shot if you feel threatened. But, with training and practice, this is just the safe that will protect you family from a firearm accident and still allow you speedy access to your gun if you or your family's lives are in danger. Heavy gauge steel, predrilled mounting points and all you need to provide is a drill and the right bits for the type of venue you intend to mount the gun safe in.
Out final entry from BARSKA designed for side entry and holding one handgun and ammo. But, you still have the same quality of design and engineering that went into the other gun safes from BARSKA we've talked about today.
You still have heavy gauge steel, Biometric access, and the predrilled mounting points that let you put it anywhere you like, whether bedroom, home office, and basement safe room.
This mini gun safe is inconspicuous as it is so small it is easily overlooked in a room. You, however, know what's inside should you need it in a time of trouble. Many problems occur when we are least ready to deal with them. That's why today you should plan for trouble and not have to use a weapon rather than going through life as a Lotus Eater from Homer's poem and ignore the realities of the world until it is too late as just recently was illustrated in Orlando.
You need to be ready and having a mini gun safe like this one ensure not only your family's safety but give you the peace of mind that lets you relax knowing you are ready if danger threatens. Otherwise, it is just like a will or an insurance policy that you never expect to cash in on.
This could well be the ultimate in protection for your guns and other valuables. A list of its features is amazing. It starts by having larger locking bolts that prevent a cracksman from gaining access. These massive bolts are 60% larger than other safes in this category.
It is fireproof and will hold an hour under the flames and protect valuable CDs, memory sticks, and other valuables for that length of time. In addition, it will withstand a flooding problem like that of Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina.
This safe will keep everything dry even after 24 hours of a full 8" of submersion.That means you cash, valuables, and firearms will be high and dry when you pop the door after fishing it out of the drink.In addition, to add to all of the above the SentrySafe is fully ELT certed and they have verified this safe under the strictest of conditions.
So, if you want a protective place to keep a firearm. Why not try the best and toughest in its class.Then you know no one but you can get to your gun and there is virtually no chance a little one will be able to crack this safe and have an accident that could result in a loss of a loved one.
You don't even have to look at the keypad as it is contoured to fit your hand like a glove. Then you enter your passcode and you have immediate access to your weapon. Holds a full-size auto pistol with magazine and spares. You have a cable that secures inside your trunk and it has predrilled mounting access points for floor or wall mounting. The spring-loaded lid pops up out of the way so your hand has nothing between it and the grip of your piece.
You can draw and fire if you feel it is necessary to protect your life almost as easily as if you were at the range. This safe is designed to minimize your access time and getting your weapon into the ready position.
This is meant to give you those extra seconds you need to evaluate and decide what you need to do calmly and coolly without any fumbling about or hesitation. The safe is also made from heavy gauge steel that resists tampering and even an experienced cracksman will through up his hands in defeat, as this safe requires tools that are not in the run of the mill break-in artist. Therefore, your weapon will stay where you put it until you decide it is time for it to come out. This protects your family from accidents and your weapon is ready in case of need. This is a win-win in anyone's playbook.
How to Use Gun Safe - A guideline from BARSKA
Final Overview
Today, you've seen 12 of the best gun safes Reviews from some of the best safe makers in the business in the market.
Now it's up to you to choose from them the one that fits your needs. If you want to go whole hog wit a full Biometric safe the S6000 from Verifi might fill the bill nicely though there are others you've seen that do just as well.
BARSKA has given you some of their best along with GunVault. However, whichever Guns safe you choose you can be assured that each will satisfy the parameters that make for a good Gun Safe. Those parameters being safety and security of the weapon, prevention of unauthorized access, and along will all that, each of them was designed to prevent children from getting inside and putting their hands on a firearm.
This perhaps is the greatest feature of all of them.
Because everything is secondary if you have a child who inadvertently gets their hands on a weapon and it discharges.The aftermath is too horrible to contemplate or risk. This is why you need to have a Best Gun Safe in the first place.

On Your Mindin Heaven New Life
This is Ron Moore with today's Bible Minute and a question: What's on your mind today?
Because, let's face it: We really are what we think about and we really are what we desire to have. Our mind is kind of like a GPS that points us to our "treasure" and our heart is the engine that carries us to our "prize." And that's why our passage today is so important.
Here's Paul in Colossians 3:1-2: "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."
Setting our hearts and minds "on things above" is not some mysterious endeavor maintained by secluded meditation. Paul explains, that this eternal direction and drive is secured by keeping "in step with the Spirit" (Galatians 5:25).

Local Church
In 1995 at the SDA General Conference World Session held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, the world church voted to establish programs to support and witness to people with disabilities through all levels of the organization. Further, it voted that an administrator or coordinator should be selected to provide leadership at the union, local conference, and local church levels, and that this person also serves as a liaison with organizations providing services for people with disabilities.
Below is the action taken at that General Conference Session:
Voted: To add a new section, Ministry to People with Disabilities, to the Church Manual, in the section The Department of Lay Activities, page 91, following Community Services Center, to read as follows:
"Ministry to People with Disabilities – Through the Ministry to People with Disabilities, a local church should give special attention to members and others with disabilities.
It should:
- Develop programs for witnessing to people who have disabilities
- Make recommendations to the church board regarding possible actions which could make the church facilities more accessible for people with disabilities
- Assist the church in transportation solutions for people with disabilities
- Advise departmental and church leadership regarding possible involvement of members who have disabilities
The Coordinator of Ministry to People with Disabilities serves as a liaison with organizations providing services for people with disabilities such as Christian Record Services and promotes Christian Record Services programs in the local church.Downloadable Files

Fresh from yesterday's tongue-in-cheek press ad, The Times has announced that it will be the first national to offer free advertising in its iPad edition as part of a package when paid-for space is booked in print.
The trial, which is expected to include John Lewis, will offer brands free static ads in what The Times has referred to as 'one sell'.
This move comes in the middle of a price showdown between the leading British newspapers.
Yesterday, in response to the Telegraph's price increase to £1.20 (a similar move was also made by The Guardian recently), the Times ran a press ad with the text, "Monday to Friday. The Times is just £1 per day. That's 20p cheaper than The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian".
The 'one sell' concept seems to continue an attempt to set The Times apart from its rivals; The Daily Mail sells its print and digital ads separately whereas The Guardian also offers a bundle - but not free of charge.
Dominic Carter, commercial director of News International Commercial, said in a statement this morning that the tablet in its many forms has the capability to revolutionise the way we consume and publish news: "However the nature of mobile publishing means that we need to plan for multiple screen sizes and different means of interaction."
Mark Slade, managing director of mobile advertising network 4th Screen Advertising, told us that the market for print advertising is bigger than mobile, so it's easier to source budget. "That said, mobile advertising also needs to maintain its own place on a media plan and not be given as a value ad from other media channels."
He explained that when iPad formats become fully interactive, you could then argue for charging a premium: "Volumes of iPad inventory are still very small so it's difficult to have separate creative builds with specific media spend. But all this will change as we hit scale."

NoSQL is fast becoming one of the trendiest tech buzzwords, and that means one thing: geek fights!
The relational database may not be dead, but there are legitimate debates about NoSQL alternatives to popular RDBMSes like MySQL, MS SQL Server and Oracle.
For most companies, however, such debates may seem too technical and abstract to be of any importance. But that doesn't mean that the NoSQL 'movement' should be ignored.
Instead, companies should take a look at the with a view to understanding if and how it can be applied to their business needs.
Not everything is a nail
Relational databases, which are used by countless businesses, have proven to be one of the most efficient and effective technologies for storing and making sense of information. But that doesn't mean they're perfect.
There are numerous scenarios under which relational databases can be a pain to deal with. Two examples:
- When dealing with semistructured information, working with relational databases can feel a lot like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
- When dealing with huge amounts of information, scaling relational databases can present challenges.
The bottom line: relational databases are a hammer, but not every information challenge is the proverbial nail.
There's a market for NoSQL solutions
Enter NoSQL solutions. From the highest level, they free us in some fashion from the pains of the relational database paradigm. Some are little more than key-value data stores, while others are advanced databases built on technologies like XML.
From the simple to the complex, make no mistake about it: the buzz around NoSQL exists because there is a market for it. The true size of the market today may not be known, and it will almost certainly evolve and grow over time, but the market is real.
NoSQL has multiple applications
NoSQL can be applied by companies in a variety of ways. Redis, for instance, might serve as little more than a simple caching solution, or MongoDB could be the primary data store for a robust application. Just as the relational database is a viable solution for an almost countless number of use cases, so too are non-relational products.
Companies should keep this in mind when investigating NoSQL. The 'NoSQL' moniker effectively means 'non-relational'; it does not mean that every NoSQL solution looks alike or does the same thing.
You may not need NoSQL, but you should know about it
Many companies will never have to look beyond the relational database paradigm to put their information to good use. But that doesn't mean that NoSQL should be ignored.
At a very minimum, the growing number of NoSQL solutions, many of which have potential benefits over their relational counterparts in certain scenarios, open up new possibilities for companies to think differently about their information.
In some cases, companies will find that they shouldn't abandon relational databases, but that NoSQL gives them the opportunity to use information in new ways, or to do things with information that was ignored (or never collected in the first place) because it couldn't be used in a meaningful way.
In other words, NoSQL will, in many if not most instances, encourage companies to expand how they use information and use it more efficiently; it will less frequently ask them to choose between relational and non-relational.
Comments (2)
completely agree great work
I my case I use NoSQL to help MySQL. When we have data spikes MySQL can't keep up and that's where Redis comes handy as a buffer.

BlitzBokke lay down home marker
Host South Africa laid down a big marker on Day One of the Port Elizabeth leg of the IRB Sevens World Series.
Round Three of the World Series saw the BlitzBokke demolish Samoa 29-7, then accounted for a resilient France (12-5) and finally beat Australia 17-7 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in PE.
That saw the Boks advance to the Cup play-offs as the only unbeaten team in Pool A and booked themselves a quarterfinal encounter with the United States.
The bog blow-out of day one was that Samoa, winners in Dubai last week, got knocked out of the Cup competition – despite beating France in the final match of the day.
Samoa, after that 22-point (7-29) hammering at the hands of the BlitzBokke, also lost to Australia (7-26) and that huge point differential saw France go through to the Cup competition and Samoa drop down to the Bowl section.
Hosts South Africa and Portugal were the only teams to remain unbeaten on Day One.
For Portugal that reward is a Cup quarterfinal encounter with France.
In the other two Cup quarterfinals Wales will meet Series leaders New Zealand, whilst Fiji await Argentina.
England missed out on the Cup for a third successive tournament.
Cup quarterfinals:
South Africa v United States
Wales v New Zealand
Portugal v France
Fiji v Argentina
Bowl quarterfinal:
Australia v Zimbabwe
Kenya v Scotland
Canada v Samoa
England v Spain
New BlitzBok captain Frankie Horne said it was a "mindset change" that got them the impressive win over their Pacific Island rivals, Samoa, to set the stage for the opening day.
"We lost to Samoa last week by three points, and they went on to win the tournament," Horne said, adding: "So [it was] just a mindset change, and working on all our niggles this week and it worked for us today [Saturday].
"The crowd is amazing but you can't get to hyped up by the crowd but we are sapping energy from then and it works for some of the guys.
"He [Cecil Afrika] is just phenomenal. He reads the game like he was born on the Sevens pitch. He has a presence on the field to other teams."
He also spoke at length about the value of the return of the team's "awesome" playmaker Cecil Afrika, who played with a heavily-strapped knee, but still looked a class act.
We bring you all the Day One drama!
Pool A:
(Samoa, France, South Africa, Australia)
The hosts won all three of their matches, after they finished the opening day ended an impressive 17-7 victory against Australia.
Cornal Hendricks and Paul Delport earlier helped Paul Treu's side beat France 12-5. Their first match was a repeat of last year's Cup semifinal, and they were able to record a 29-7 victory against last week's champions Samoa thanks to a hat-trick from Chris Dry.
France also opened up with a victory, beating Australia 31-5 thanks to 14 points from Terry Bouhraoua and ended the day with a 12-7 defeat to Samoa but reached the quarter finals on points difference.
Having won the Cup last weekend in Dubai, Samoa were unable to reproduce that form as they suffered a second successive defeat, losing 26-7 against Australia.
France 31-5 Australia
Samoa 7-29 South Africa
Samoa 7-26 Australia
France 5-12 South Africa
South Africa 17-7 Australia
Samoa 12-7 France
Pool B:
(New Zealand, Fiji, Scotland, England)
Fiji booked their place in the Cup quarterfinals with a 24-12 victory against New Zealand.
The Gold Coast Sevens champions knew a victory would confirm their place in the last eight having earlier suffered a shock 19-21 defeat to Scotland.
In an enthralling match Andrew Turnbull scored twice, as did Fiji's Joji Raqamate, but it was captain Colin Gregor's try and conversion that made the difference.
New Zealand join Fiji in the Cup competition on day two with two wins, coming from 0-7 behind to beat Scotland 14-7 before a 24-7 defeat of England.
Fiji also beat England 29-19 thanks to two tries from captain Setefano Cakau, but Ben Ryan's side ensured they ended day one with a victory – beating the auld enemy Scotland 33-12, a match which saw Dan Norton notch up his 100th career try.
Fiji 29-19 England
New Zealand 14-7 Scotland
Fiji 19-21 Scotland
New Zealand 24-7 England
Scotland 12-33 England
New Zealand 12-24 Fiji
Pool C:
(Kenya, Wales, Argentina, Spain)
Argentina and Wales reached the Cup quarterfinals from Pool C in yet another enthralling contest.
Wales headed into their final match with Kenya knowing a win was required, and Paul John's side ensured their place in the last eight with a 33-12 victory over Mike Friday's side.
Wales beat Spain 12-5 in their first pool match, Rhys Jones and Will Thomas scoring for the current Sevens world champions. However they were pinned back in their second clash of the day when Argentina came from behind to beat them 12-7 in a tense clash. Argentina won their second match of the day, beating Spain 21-14.
Kenya had made it two wins from two on the opening day, beating Spain 26-14 in their second match thanks to 11 points from Lavin Asego and were unlucky to miss out on points differential.
Earlier, Mike Friday's side stormed into a 21-0 lead at half-time against Argentina thanks to tries from Andrew Amonde, Willy Ambaka and Davis Chenge. Los Pumas scored three second-half tries, but two missed conversions meant they lost 21-17.
Wales 12-5 Spain
Kenya 21-17 Argentina
Wales 7-12 Argentina
Kenya 26-14 Spain
Argentina 21-14 Spain
Kenya 14-33 Wales
Pool D:
(Portugal, Canada, United Stated, Zimbabwe)
Portugal entered the Cup stage of the tournament after winning all three of their games on the opening day in Port Elizabeth.
The Europeans got their campaign in Port Elizabeth off to a solid start beating USA 26-12, equalling the most points scored by them against the North Americans in a World Series match, before narrowly beating Zimbabwe 17-12. They ended the day with a resounding 28-7 win over Canada, confirming their place in the Cup.
Canada also beat Zimbabwe, 11 points coming from Nathan Hirayama to give them a 26-0 victory, but lost to rivals USA 26-12 in their second match. Luke Hume crossed twice to give the USA their first victory against Canada since the 2011 Dubai Sevens – with Phil Mack having been shown a red card in the first half.
The USA won their second match against Zimbabwe 21-17 and thanks to Portugal's result will join the Portuguese in the Cup, with Canada and Zimbabwe battling in the Bowl on Sunday.
Canada 26-0 Zimbabwe
Portugal 26-12 United States
Portugal 17-12 Zimbabwe
Canada 12-26 United States
United States 21-17 Zimbabwe
Portugal 28-7 Canada
