History, Biography and Death of a Brave Hindu King Sambhaji Maharaj
Sambhaji Maharaj Left Fort
With the help of some supportive courtiers, Soyarabai, step mother of Sambhaji ruined relationship of Sambhaji and his father Shivaji. Sambhaji left Shivaji's kingdom. After some days news spread about sudden death of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj but Sambhaji was not informed.
Soyarabai wanted her son Rajaram to become Maharaj after Shivaji, so return of Sambhaji was not helpful for her selfish cause. Rumours ran thick and fast among Marathas that wife Soyarabai had poisoned Shivaji.
Achievements of Sambhaji Maharaj
The remarkable things that Sambhaji Maharaj achieved in his short life had far-reaching effects on the whole of India. Every Hindu should be grateful to him for that. He valiantly faced the 8 lakh strong army of Aurangzeb and defeated several Mughal chieftains in the battlefield forcing them to retreat. Because of this, Aurangzeb remained engaged in battles in Maharashtra, thus keeping the rest of India free from Aurangzeb's tyranny for a long time. This can be considered as the greatest achievement of Sambhaji Maharaj. If Sambhaji Maharaj would have arrived at a settlement with Aurangzeb and accepted his proposal of being a tributary prince, then within the next 2 or 3 years Aurangzeb would have captured North India again. However, because of Sambhaji Maharaj and other Maratha ruler's (later on Rajaram and Mahraani Tarabai) struggle, Aurangzeb was stuck in battles in South India for 27 years. This helped in the establishment of new Hindu kingdoms in the provinces of Bundelkhand, Punjab and Rajasthan in North India; thus providing safety to the Hindu society there.
Mass Reverts and Ghar Wapasi of Former Hindus Under Sambhaji Maharaj
Shivaji Maharaj reverted Netaji Palkar to Hinduism who was forcibly converted into death cult islam. Shivaji was a devout Hindu and strongly believed in protecting Hinduism. Sambhaji took the legacy and went a step ahead to further realize dreams of Shivaji Maharaj. Here it is very important to note that Sambhaji Maharaj had established a separate department in his province for the 'reconversion ceremony' of the Hindus who had earlier converted into other religions due to allurement, force and deceit. There is a famous incident of a Brahmin named 'Kulkarni' of Harsul village in the history of Sambhaji Maharaj. Kulkarni had been forcibly converted to Islam by the Mughals. He tried to reconvert into Hinduism, but local Brahmins in his village did not paid heed to his pleas, as they thought he became impure by accepting anti-Vedic islam. In the end, Kulkarni met Sambhaji Maharaj and told him about his misery. Sambhaji Maharaj immediately arranged for his reconversion ceremony and reverted him as a Hindu. This noble initiative of Sambhaji Maharaj encouraged many converted Hindus to come back into Hinduism. Many other former Hindus came forward and reverted to Hinduism.
A Brave Devotee of Bhagwan Shiv Who Daringly Praised Hindu Gods In Front of Terrorists Till Last Moment of His Death
Some historians differ they suggest that Shambhuji was original name and not Sambhaji. Sambha is deliberate mughal distortion as Shambhu is also name of Bhagwan Shiv. In most of the historical notes and references, son of Shivaji is addressed as Sambhaji.
Sambhaji Meeting Kavi Kalash
Sambhaji when left home was placed in anonymity in Mathura among distant family of one of the Shivaji's minister, Raghunath Korde. He stayed there for half year/one year as one abandoned brahmin child. They even performed his upanayana in Mathura and taught him Sanskrit. This is how he met Kavi Kalash. Few people know that Shambhuji has composed a treatise in honor of his father in Sanskrit called "Budhacharitra". One of the fantastic literary works in medieval Sanskrit, extremely "Shringarika" and poetic.
Sambhaji's Brave Encounters with Muslim Invaders
Shambhaji offered refuge to Akbar and in 1682 the lost son of Aurangzeb escorted by the Rajput's arrived in safety in Maharashtra. Close behind the Emperor entered the Maratha Kingdom in the same year. Few would have guessed that he would never return to the north spending the last 27 years of his life in a futile and eventually failed war with the Hindus.

The war was engaged and raged from this period onwards in a steady ebb and flow in the hills of western India with neither side able to emerge over the other. The steady courage of Shambaji was only matched by his impetuous and rash nature. Only his minister Kavi Kalash was able to exercise any control over the headstrong king. An equal measure of the rage of Shambhaji was directed towards any perceived rivals or dissenters in his kingdom, he dealt with them to extreme severity for which he was justly famous.
Blood flowed over the mountains and the land was ruined but the people fought on. The full force of the empire was now borne down on the barren hills and the prime generals and troops of the Mughals now all entered into the fray. For seven years more that war continued with its monotonous tale of attack and counter-attack – of determined sieges and equally determined counter-sieges. Of forts falling to the Mughals only to be retaken months later and for the cycle of destruction to continue.
Sambhaji Raje's Death and His Breathtaking Staunchness on Hinduism
In 1689 however the situation changed. The Maratha King was at Sangameshwar unaware of the nearness of his enemies and with a scant force around him. After a sudden raid under Muqarrab Khan a Mughal force reached the place and after a bitter fight succeeded in capturing Shambhaji and Kavi Kalash. They were sent to prisons and were tortured to convert to anti-Vedic islam.
As per Masir I Alambiri, the official history of terrorist Aurangzeb's reign and Maratha sources: Later the prisoners were put in chains and placed on howdahs of elephants and taken to Aurangzeb's camp which was at Akluj. The news reached the mughal Padishaw in advance and he called for grand celebrations. The mughals arranged for celebrations all along the path of the triumphant generals.
Shaikh Nizam's portrait was painted by mughal artist for posterity. Mughal women peered through their burqas to look at the fallen hero of the Marathas, while mughals spat on him and jeered at in wild revelry. The Rajput soldiers in the mughal ranks showed great pity for Sambhaji. He openly asked them to kill him right away and relieve him of the humiliation, but fearing the invader they were quiet. After 5 days of marching the prisoners were presented before Aurangzeb at a grand darbar. He announced that the Marathas were over and done and then (terrorist) Jihadi Aurangzeb stepped down from his throne to bow down to (anti-god) allah. Kalash's hands were firmly cuffed and his head was restrained with a cangue, but he somehow managed to catch Sambhaji's eye and composed a Hindi couplet: "Oh lord of the Marathas, the Alamgir on seeing thy majesty has himself stepped down from his throne and bowed his head in reverence."
Kalash boldly mocked aurangzeb and said that the so called conqueror of worlds (aurangzeb) is kneeling down in front of Sambhaji.

Furious Aurangzeb ordered the captives to be thrown into his dungeons. He gave Sheikh Nizam the title Fateh Jang Khan-i-Jaman, a purse of Rs.50,000, a horse, an elephant and command over cavalry of 6000 men. Likewise gifts and commands were bestowed on his son Iqlas and nephews. The mughal chiefs suggested that they spare Sambhaji's life in return for him handing over his entire kingdom with the keys all the forts to Aurangzeb. Sambhaji was defiant, he scornfully refused the terms. Then, terrorist mughals went back to their original agenda for which they invaded Bharat, the pathetic teachings of evil koran, to loot non-muslims and convert entire world into islam or kill idol worshipers, if they do not agree to accept islam. Sambhaji was sweetly told that if he converted to Islam and spent his life as a servant of the emperor he could see life. He would also get lavish facilities, money and women. Sambhaji boldly made it clear that the Alamgir was the worst enemy of the Bharat and Hindus. Also the Padishaw was a real fool to follow an Arab madman (mohammed) as his only prophet. Aurangzeb decided to execute him on hearing this jaw breaking response from valiant Hindu King which he least expected. Sambhaji was very enraged as he had seen several innocent Hindu men killed by the mlecchas (muslims) and Hindu women forced into harem by Jihadi muslims to fulfill inhumane thoughts given in evil koran to accomplish the nefarious wishes of (anti-god) allah.
Sambhaji and Kalash were brought out of their cages and given caps with bells sewn into them. To their hands were tied rattles and they were tied to camels and dragged along the markets of Tulapur, with the mughals spitting on them. They were pushed and drawn forcibly and as they were moved the rattling sound was heard. Muslims watching from bylanes laughed revealing their true nature of brutality and cruelty. They clearly showed they were no more humans but beasts after accepting satanic teachings of koran. His minister Kalash was also resisting and praised in Sanskrit shloka the opulence and existence of Bhagwan, when one of the mlecchas pulled his hair to accept islam. He bluntly rejected and said Hinduism is above all dharma of truth and peace. The Marathas were forced to witness the fate of their king.
Even at this point terrorist aurangzeb added that he would spare Sambhaji's life if he converted to Islam. But Sambhaji mocked remembering how muslims insulted Hindu women that he might consider that if he gave his daughter in marriage to him. He then added that the he was not a fool like the Muslims to be guiled by a mentally ill person (mohammed) posing as a prophet. He then praised the Hindu gods and said he was willing to sacrifice his life as an offering to the great (Bhagwan) Mahadev, after knowing whom delusional religions (adharms) held no attraction. No one till then had ever told facts about allah, mohammed and islam so fiercely as Sambhaji did in front of mleccha aurangzeb. In a fit of rage Aurangzeb ordered salt to be rubbed into his bruises and Sambhaji was then dragged below his throne. But Sambhaji kept praising Bhagwan Shiv. Then his tongue was cut off and placed at the Alamgir's feet who ordered it to be given to a dog. They cut off his tongue but these mlecchas failed to understand one thing how can they wipe out the feelings from the mind and heart of Sambhaji. Sambhaji was smiling and still praising Bhagwan Shiv, glaring through his eyes towards mughals. Then his eyes were gouged out and next his limbs were cut off one by one. But it was done slowly torturing Sambhaji each day. The memory of his inspirational father must have been close to Shambaji in the last days – given just sufficient time to rest between the tortures and removal of limbs after nearly two weeks of horrendous and unthinkable pain the broken and limbless king was executed – His head was cut off and placed in public display around the cities and towns of Maharashtra as a warning. While his body was cut into pieces and fed to the dogs of Tulapur. But it did not have the desired effect. The brave Hindu Maratha kept remembering Bhagwan Shiv till the last moment and his praises began the weakening of mleccha (muslims) invasions.
The brave defiance of Sambhaji even under such torturous and painful ordeal spread like wildfire among Marathas. Till the last moment of his death he fought for the Dharma. Even after experiencing such unthinkable excruciating and humiliating inflictions, Sambhaji rejected offer of joining terrorism cult islam. He not only was defiant but also pragmatically mocked the evilness of the anti-dharm, islam. The Hindu Marathas got immense inspiration, they thought if a single person along with his minister could show such retaliation for the cause of Hinduism then why not all of us, fight the cause together. Rajaram and all other Maratha ministers joined hands and starting fighting series of war against terrorism of Aurangzeb. The news of unity and fierce resistance of Hindu Marathas in western and southern Bharat, spread in the North states of Bharat, people from North started retaliation against mughals. The escalation that led to a series of wars with the Sikhs, the Marathas, the Jats and the Rajputs had drained the resources of the Mughal Empire. At last Aurangzeb was never at peace, he kept fighting war and died in huge despair and sorrow in 1707.
There is an old saying in Africa: Never trust a person who hates your culture and tradition. The brutal torture of following Hinduism experienced by Brave Hindu kings into the hands of terrorist Aurangzeb (inlcuding other terrrorist muslim invaders) under their terrorist muslim infiltrators proved this African concept true. There is no difference between ISIS and mughal invaders of India when it came to abusing, killing Hindu men and raping Hindu women. Never trust islamist muslims especially those who swear by Quran and never hates or opposes its evil teachings of harming Hindus (Kafirs/non-muslims).
That is why kicking out illegal bangladeshis and rohingyas is need of the hour. First these roaches take shelter then they multiply like virus as they reach 25% of the population, they start spreading quranic jihad (terrorism of killing and mass-conversion to islam) following teachings of evil islam.
To say that India was under islamic & christian terrorism for 1000 years of invader rules (Mughal Terrorism and British Terrorism) is not exaggeration but 100% truth. Hindus were fooled by Jihadi leftist historians of India by hiding tortures of invaders – British and Mughals.

The ancient painting below depicting the gruesome murder of Brave Hindu King Sambhaji Raje and his body pieces fed to dogs.
Sambhaji got the title of Dharamveer, the warrior of Dharma due his unending love and pride for Hinduism.
Must followup for Hindus: Our concocted history never gave importance to real Hindu rulers who fought for humanity and dharma but glorified undignified filth like terrorist aurangzeb, cruel akbar and traitor tipu – incorrectly calling them as Great, Mighty or Shahenshah. We cannot let our unforgotten heroes sacrifice go unnoticed because they sacrificed their lives for us – it is because of them that we are Hindus today. The responsibility lies on us to spread their sacrifice and invoke sense of pride, aggression and unity among Hindus. We all pledge that we will share the post with at least five of our close Hindu friends and well-wishers.
If next time a coward and secular person tells you that Hinduism cannot be decimated it is in existence since thousands of years, then give that person a tight slap then tell him this is Kaliyug so decimation of Dharma means decimation of Hinduism. And show him this image, history proves that decimation of Hindu population happened at an exponential rate of 324% YoY basis.

A sore throat is a symptom of a viral or bacterial disease. Your body will usually fight off the disease within three weeks with no need for clinical treatment. In the event the disease is brought on by bacteria, antibiotics are only needed.
The course of a bacterial disease is distinct from a viral infection. You tend to become quite unwell as well as your disease appears to get worse. A sore throat is a standard symptom of the flu along with colds – both viral infections. It may not be easy to identify the difference between them. In general, symptoms are somewhat more severe with influenza. A sore throat is an inflammation of the throat that is reddened and debilitating, and can lead to trouble consuming and even respiration.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of a Sore Throat?
Sore throats are red, occasionally swollen, and debilitating. Streptococcal diseases frequently generate a brilliant red throat, difficulty swallowing, and swollen, often painful lymph nodes. The tonsils frequently are enlarged, there could be pus and white specks on them, or else they could be covered with a white or gray coating. Other symptoms of strep throat include a headache, high temperature, and stomach pain.
A sore throat is a standard symptom of infectious mononucleosis, a viral infection brought on by the Epstein Barr (EP-steen BAR) virus. The tonsils may have an extensive coating or white spots and, as in strep throat, become quite bloated. Consuming is not easy and, in several instances, the tonsils enlarge enough to cause trouble breathing. Read also : Stomach ACHE Treatment and Wisdom Teeth Pain Relief.
Do You Know The Factors Behind Sore Throat?
There are some different reasons for a sore throat, which might contain the following:
Trauma/Harm: Any direct harm to the neck or throat region may result in a sore throat. Occasionally, a foreign body (as an example, a bone or piece of food) can lead to a sore throat. The throat and larynx can irritate, also resulting in a sore throat.
Toxins/Irritants: Noxious airborne compounds, air pollution, and various materials such a cig smoke may cause a sore throat. The willful or unintentional ingestion of particular materials (by way of example, bleach) can lead to a sore throat.
Bacterial disease: A common cause of a sore throat, a bacterial disease may result in diphtheria, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, strep throat, epiglottitis, and tonsillitis. Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STD's), like gonorrhea and chlamydia, additionally can infrequently cause a sore throat.
Viral infection: This is undoubtedly the most typical cause of a sore throat, and there are some different viruses which may result in an upper respiratory infection and the common cold.

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio has embarked on a high-risk, high-reward mission. His goal? Convince conservatives to support the bipartisan immigration reform measure he and his "Gang of Eight" colleagues have drafted. The success or failure of his effort will go a long way toward determining both whether reform passes, and where Rubio fits into the conservative movement going forward.
As last week showed, Rubio has his work cut out for him.
Since signing off two weeks ago on the bill that offers a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants, bolsters border security and creates a new guest-worker program, Rubio has been taking to the airwaves to defend the measure against detractors on the political right, who have complained the bill offers "amnesty" and is being jammed through by liberal Democrats.
On Thursday, Rubio launched a Web site designed to dispel myths about the bill and took his case to a crucial medium in the conservative sphere, talk radio.
"I don't understand why we're doing something that the Democrats are salivating over," declared conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh on his Thursday show, adding: "I'm having trouble seeing how this benefits Republicans."
Rubio responded that the imperative for action is twofold. The current immigration system is broken, he contended, and the nation's laws are not enforced. "So, for those two reasons alone, we have to do something," said the senator.
Limbaugh, who in a January interview with Rubio seemed warmer to reform, pressed him about securing the border and questioned whether it was politically wise to clear a path for new Hispanic voters, whom data show tend to align more closely with the Democratic Party. And in interviews with four other conservative talkers, Rubio failed to win over the hosts.
He's also had to push back against claims in the conservative blogosphere that the bill would give immigrants with work visas free cell phones, and deal with protests from tea party activists.
Rubio's most crucial task, Republican strategists say, is to win the arguments on border security and the path to citizenship.
"I think the biggest challenge, and what will ultimately decide this issue, is convincing conservatives that real border security is going to be a part of any package and that there are strong accountability measures and enforcement mechanisms," said Florida Republican strategist Tim Baker.
Added Rick Wilson, another Florida-based GOP strategist: "If he successfully explains border security -- the provisions of which are really quite remarkable -- and the steepness of the path to citizenship, I think he can sway conservative audiences."
Rubio appeared well aware of his biggest challenges, addressing conservatives directly during a "Gang of Eight" press conference last week.
"Let me close with one final point to my fellow Americans who share my commitment to limited government and free enterprise, who helped elect me in 2010," Rubio said. "I would just remind them, America is a nation of immigrants." To those worried about "amnesty," Rubio offered a counterargument: "Leaving things the way they are, that's the real amnesty."
As conservatives have urged caution in the immigration debate following the Boston Marathon bombings (the two bombing suspects were members of an ethnic Chechen family that received asylum in the U.S. in 2002), Rubio said Monday that he disagrees with those who say the attack has no bearing on the debate.
"If there are flaws in our immigration system that were exposed by the attack in Boston, any immigration reform passed by Congress this year should address those flaws," he said in a statement.
If Rubio fails to win sufficient GOP support and the bill dies, it will be a blow to the political standing of the politician viewed widely as one of the GOP's best options for the 2016 presidential race. On the other hand, if he succeeds, then his stock in the party is likely to soar to even greater heights.
Politically, having Rubio on the "Gang of Eight" helps both Democrats and Republicans. For Democrats who have long clamored for reform, having a stamp of approval from one of the country's most prominent conservatives -- who is Hispanic, no less -- is a huge plus. And for Rubio, taking part in the effort is an opportunity to be the most prominent Republican to tackle an issue many see as fundamental to repairing the GOP's relations with the Hispanic community.
"Marco is uniquely situated to do this and he and his team have obviously prepared," said Florida Republican strategist Ana Navarro, an early supporter of Rubio in his 2010 Senate campaign. "They understand that if misperceptions about this bill are created early and stick, the bill dies and he is whacking at every attempt to mislead."
After all, if Rubio can't sell the conservative base on immigration reform, it would be hard to argue that any Republican can.
The 20,000 foot political question as this debate unfolds is whether having the ideal Republican on board as a chief advocate is enough to help the pro-reform crowd break through to skeptical conservatives, who hold sway in the Senate, and wield even more clout in the GOP-controlled House. So far, it isn't clear that it will be.

A team of passionate and highly skilled dog care professionals with over 20 years combined experienced.
We are committed to providing a home away from home that will give you peace of mind and that your dog will love.
Like many animals, Murphy, our 11 year old jack russel is terrified of fireworks and reacts very badly to them. Unfortunately, we live in an area where people congregate to let them off over the course of several nights, right up until the early hours.
Thanks to the kindness of Brian and his team, this year Murphy was able to enjoy the calm and caring surroundings of Woofingtons.
Although Woofingtons was not due to officially open until after 05 November, Brian nonetheless welcomed Murphy as Woofington's first guest and went out of his way to make sure he enjoyed his 3-night stay.

It was a quick divorce from a two-month romance. And to be honest, sort of a head-scratcher.
In mid-March, RE/MAX, the 40-year-old, Denver-based national real estate franchise broker announced a unique partnership with Redfin, the tech-focused brokerage that has morphed over the years, from trying to wipe out the Real Estate agent to employing them with discounted commission fees. The partnership gave RE/MAX agents exclusive access to Redfin's agent referral program — albeit at a discounted rate (25 percent versus 30 percent of the agent's commission, the standard for referral fees) — in 5,000 U.S. ZIP codes and throughout Canada, where Redfin recently launched its highly navigated home search website.
Ostensibly this was done, RE/MAX leaders claimed, to partner up with an online brokerage.
"Redfin is a good complement to the RE/MAX model, given their online presence and our offline presence," Kerri Callahan, RE/MAX's chief financial officer, said to Inman News in March.
Leaders of both companies were crowing about reciprocal revenue potential, but the honeymoon ended on Monday.
Redfin's launch of a new program that would essentially cut out buyers agents altogether had one unanticipated result: RE/MAX withdrew from its corporate partnership with Redfin.
"Redfin has the utmost respect for RE/MAX as a company, for its agents and leaders. RE/MAX agents who already work as Redfin's partner agents will continue to be our partners, and RE/MAX agents can continue to enroll in our partner program, but Redfin can now enroll partner agents from other brokerages to serve Redfin.com visitors in the U.S. and Canada," the company said in a statement.

Adding the overall gloomy picture of how Americans view the economy, the vast majority are concerned about inflation according to a new Rasmussen Report.
Most Americans remain concerned about inflation but are beginning to express a little more trust in the Federal Reserve Board's ability to control it.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 76% of American Adults are at least somewhat concerned about inflation, including 48% who are Very Concerned. Twenty-two percent (22%) are Not Very or Not at All Concerned.
This feeling comes as the Federal Reserve is considering even more quantitative easing, or printing of money, for the economy in Obama's second term.
Managers believe that Barack Obama's re-election will be followed by more quantitative easing, as he continues to pursue policies of central bank intervention into the global crisis.
Jack McIntyre, global bond portfolio manager at Legg Mason, said that the Fed's current programme of $40bn (£25bn) a month of quantitative easing could more than double during Mr Obama's second term.
"We have reduced our US dollar exposure due to quantitative easing and we think president Obama will continue buying long-dated treasuries. The $40bn programme could turn into $85bn."
Not surprisingly, gold is on the rise again.

A simple, informative introduction to oceans for children (and adults).
What I thought: This is the first book in the About Habitats series I've read, but I've read several of the About...series by Cathyrn and John Sill. Oceans is just great. What I like most is that it's simple enought to share with preschoolers, but the afterward provides adiitional information that will appeal to older children. John's illustrations are so beautiful. My favorites are the blackwing flying fish, green sea turtle, and leafy sea dragon.

Hey Guys,
I purchased a G2 from a guy who bought it for an ex. The phone is absolutely great !! Remarkable in fact but there are two issues. I read online that it is unlocked and works with other GSM carriers but LTE doesn't work. I knew this so it wasn't a problem, HSPA+ has suited my needs so I wasn't too concerned ... but now i tried to tether and it wouldn't even let me do that ... Tried multiple apps on the app market and nothing seems to work.
I dont mind losing LTE but no tethering is a bit of a deal breaker. I'm considering rooting the phone to try other tethering options but so far nothing seems to be working. Even the LG USB Connection Modem/Ethernet options dont work. The driver pops up but it says that it's disconnected.
Has anyone managed to get tethering to work somehow ?

LAHORE - An Anti-Terrorism Court on Wednesday directed police to remove the names of 11 women and two senior citizens including an 11-year old girl from FIR registered against them for protesting in favour of Tehreek-i-Minhajul Quran and Pakistan Awami Tehreek in Shahdra.
Judge Rai Muhammad Ayub Marth of ATC heard the case. The judge sent 16 accused workers on judicial remand with directions to police for medical check up of other nine workers.
Shahdara police produced about 38 accused in the court and sought their physical remand.
The accused counsel, however, told the court that all accused were innocent and had nothing to with the allegations levelled against them. He said police intentionally implicated them in the case registered under Anti-Terrorism Act. He requested the judge to release the accused.
After hearing the arguments, the judge directed police to remove the names of 11 women and two aged citizen and a 11 year old girl from the FIR registered with Shahdra police station.
Earlier, at the outset of hearing, the judge expressed serious dismay over the negligence of Model Town and Faisal Town Police for not producing the accused in court. The bail applications were also filed for the release of said accused.
The court accepted bail application and issued notices to SHOs of various police stations of the City till Thursday (today).

What do you get when a team of public relations and advertising pros compete in an outrigger canoe race and ancient Hawaiian makahiki games? The Anthology Marketing Group (AMG) 'ohana having a blast at the 23rd Annual Ala Wai Challenge this past Sunday…DUH!
From left: Rhegan Liwanag-Luat, Ashley Pias, Frank "The Enemy from CommPac" Clay, yours truly, and Karl Nakagawa. Amy Hennessey, Keith DeMello, Patrick Dugan, and Karl Nakagawa. Page Gaylord, Dan Zelikman, and the rest of TEAM LCA.
Roughly two dozen of the "finest athletes" from McNeil Wilson Communications, Laird Christianson Advertising, and StarrTech Interactive (all divisions within AMG) woke up very early to brave the morning cold and participate in this one-of-a-kind event celebrating the unique sports only found in Hawai'i.
From left: TEAM MWC canoe paddlers Wok Kim, Keith, Ashley, Amy, and Karl. Cheering on TEAM MWC as they race into the wind.
There were more than a dozen teams (we had two) representing the hospitality industry who competed in a quarter mile outrigger canoe race along the Ala Wai Canal and in ancient Hawaiian games, including 'ulu maika (bowling a round stone through pegs), o'o ihe (spear throwing), moa pahe'e (dart sliding), and 'ihe pahe'e (spear sliding).
From left: TEAM MWC makahiki squad Patrick, Erin Mankins, Rhegan, LeeAnne Mathews, me, and Darcy Maeda. Patrick rolling the 'ulu maika. Leanne prepares to slide the spear.
From left: Erin in the moa pahee competition. Patrick leads off the spear throwing. Rhegan giving it her all to make it stick.
So how did our teams do? Well…considering we didn't practice once for any of the events, I'd say we did…ummmmm…pretty good. There were definitely some ringers on other canoe teams that gave them a clear advantage. So our next opportunity to catch up was in the makahiki games competition. But seriously, how good could we expect to do? None of us have played these games since intermediate school or the last time we visited the Polynesian Cultural Center. We gave it our best, but in the end, there were just a few teams a bit more talented in rolling stones, throwing spears, and sliding darts than us.
From left: Darcy letting it fly. Me trying not to look foolish. TEAM MWC's scoring sheet…aiya…where's the rest of the points!
From left: LeeAnne and Erin Kinoshita, the MWC PR guru who had to work the event and got all four TV stations to cover the festivities. LeeAnne and Rhegan enjoying shave ice. AMG represent!
There was an area of the competition where Anthology Marketing Group was clearly the winner and that was in "team unity," "enthusiasm" and "sportsmanship." The entire AMG team had a great time! Who won versus who lost was inconsequential in the end…thought it was obvious it mattered a lot to one team in particular…not naming names here. If you're wondering what kind of classless guy talks trash to girls from our firm, just ask anyone on TEAM MWC. We'll tell you.
Last but not least, mahalo to the Waikiki Community Center for hosting the event and to Chris Tatum, general manager of the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, for being a great corporate citizen and sponsoring this great community cause.
I'm looking forward to doing this again next year!

24 Oct
By: Alexander Rigney
On Wednesday, cure March 23, information pills the cafeteria was transformed as grade twelve students from Mr. Kotsirilos' business leadership classes competed in the twentieth annual Business Luncheon. An afternoon of good food, healing fine décor, and dining entertainment, the event was the culmination of months of organisation and hard work by the students and was judged by VIP guests and teachers alike.
The three themes selected this year were Disney, the Roaring Twenties, and Atlantis. A class' theme serves as the unifying idea behind key elements such as the décor, menu, and of course, entertainment of their area and guests. The classes work together and organize themselves into committees and groups simulating real-world business activities in a hands-on activity. Though all three classes worked hard and put a great effort into their work, Atlantis managed to come out ahead and was declared the winner.
All of this hard work was evident as you walked into the former cafeteria, barely recognizable. Each of the three classes had claimed a section, forming an L shape around the performance area. Sections of the walls had been covered with draperies and you were greeted at the door by grinning hosts.
The first thing to hit you, of course, was the décor. Crossing the bridge to Disney, one was met by magenta tables against a backdrop of the infamous Castle. Each table featured a centrepiece based off a movie – Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Frozen, and The Little Mermaid. Likewise, their menu dishes were creatively inspired by different movies – Snow White, Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp, and Lilo and Stitch.
Moving on, you find yourself sent back in time to the Roaring Twenties. Passing by the tables and the photo booth, one appreciates the sombre yet elegant setting of the section –gold tables set against the black of the backdrop and apparel of the servers. Based on the brief period between World War I and the Great Depression, the décor reflects the elegant era of celebration and modernity.
Finally, submerged below the sea lies the lost city of Atlantis. Brilliant in the pure white of the chairs and servers, and highlighted with the royal blue of the tables, the décor reflected the sparkling purity of the city's ocean home. The tables, decorated with a branch centrepiece, included live betta fish in glasses and a scattering of seashells.
But décor and the meal were only two of the major parts of the Business Luncheon. Midway through the meal, the entertainment started. Each class performed a short skit and dance based on their theme. Lasting about 10 minutes each, these creative and often humorous skits were what most of the guests had been looking forward to – and they weren't disappointed.
Up first was Disney with a short fairy tale of their own creation, drawing on inspiration from various movies and ending with a dance. The Roaring Twenties were next with a grandmother telling her grandson about the good ol' days. The skit revolved around a party in the twenties she had attended, and also ended in a group dance. Finally, Atlantis spun the tale of two lovers separated by the sinking of the city, to be fortunately reunited again at the end.
Though Atlantis was declared the winner, all three classes put a great effort into their work and certainly made the final decision difficult for the VIP judges. A big congratulations to all the students for organizing and executing this luncheon. A big thank you also to the staff and stage crew for supporting this annual tradition, as well as to Ms. Williams, who started the tradition twenty years ago, and who attended as a VIP guest this year.

Bosnian police detained 16 people Wednesday on charges of financing terrorist activities, recruiting and fighting for radical groups in Syria and Iraq, authorities said.Experts estimate that several hundred people have left Bosnia, where Muslims make up 45 percent of the population, heading for Syria. Some of them reportedly crossed into Iraq this year to fight for ISIS.Jozic declined to identify the suspects.Experts say the trend towards more radical forms of Islam may be due to the influence of Islamist fighters or Mujahideen who came from Iran and Arab states during the Bosnian 1992-95 war to fight alongside the Muslim Bosniaks against the Orthodox Serbs and Catholic Croats.

Our LegalShield Review
LegalShield is a leader in prepaid legal services, with more than 40 years of experience, a large partner network and over a million members. Its competitive pricing and comprehensive coverage make it an appealing choice for individuals, families or small businesses seeking prepaid legal services. Our LegalShield Reviews found that they also offer some features that other prepaid legal service providers don't, like the ability to discuss preexisting legal matters, and included trial defense hours. LegalShield provides its members with access to some online legal forms, but it does not advertise access to a comprehensive online legal form library, as competitors do. Our review of LegalShield indicates the company emphasizes attorney representation and service as opposed to legal form creation.VISIT LEGALSHIELD.COM
Who qualifies for coverage?
You can purchase LegalShield coverage for yourself, your family, and/or your small business.
How much does coverage cost?
LegalShield's personal prepaid legal plans start at $24.95/month. You can add an additional "Trial Defense Supplement" or "Home Business Supplement" to either plan for $9.95/month each. Small business plans range from $39.00/month (less than 10 employees) to $149/month (up to 100 employees). LegalShield now offers ID Theft Plans starting at $9.95/month. See our LegalShield reviews below for more about what each plan provides below.
Personal Plans
What is included in Personal Plans?
The LegalShield Individual Legal Plan ($24.95/month) covers the member, their spouse and dependent children under the age of 18 (the member's child can keep coverage until until age 26 if unmarried and living with the member). This plan includes (1) toll-free phone consultations with your Provider Law Firm for any personal legal matter even on pre-existing conditions; (2) A phone call or letter on an attorney's letterhead can help you get the results you need; (3) review of an unlimited number of documents of up to fifteen (15) pages each; (4) after-hours legal consultations for covered legal emergencies such as: if you're arrested or detained, if you're seriously injured, if you're served with a warrant, or if the state tries to take your child(ren); (5) assistance if you or your spouse are named defendant or respondent in a covered civil action suit (aka "trial defense"). Some services are unlimited and some have hourly limits. Unlike most prepaid legal providers, LegalShield does not enforce a cap on attorney consultation call time. Many other providers limit calls to 30 minutes. Another unique benefit is the ability to call attorneys for pre-existing matters. Most competitors only allow unlimited calls for new matters. This is a key differentiator.
In addition to the services listed above, the following legal services are included in Personal Legal Plans:
- Standard Will Preparation
- Living Will/Medical Directive
- Residential Loan Documents
- Motor vehicle related criminal charge assistance
- Letters on Your Behalf
- Uncontested name change
- Uncontested adoption assistance
- Uncontested divorce or annulment assistance
- IRS Audit legal services
Trial Defense Supplement (+$9.95/month)
Trials are expensive and time consuming. LegalShield has a Trial Defense Supplement to provide an additional 100 hours of trial defense, 75 hours of trial time and 25 hours of pre-trial time, each year of your membership.
Home Business Supplement (+$9.95/month)
If you own a home business, are a consultant or have a rental property, you may need business legal advice and want to add the Home Business Supplement.
- Phone consultation on an unlimited number of business topics, even on pre-existing conditions;
- Up to three business contracts or documents (15 pages or less) reviewed per month (documents relating to court proceedings);
- Up to 6 letters/ calls per year (one per subject matter);

This is a general overview of your legal plan coverage for illustration purposes only. The benefits described are not available in all states and Canadian provinces. See a plan contract for complete terms, coverage, amounts, conditions and exclusions.SIGN UP FOR A PERSONAL PLAN
Small Business Plans
What is Covered in the Small Business Legal Plans?
LegalShield's Small Business Legal Plans cover small businesses with 100 or fewer employees. The price of the Small Business Legal Plan depends on the number of employees (between $39/month and $149/month depending on number of employees).

*not available on cheapest plan.SIGN UP FOR A SMALL BUSINESS PLAN
ID Theft Plans
How does the cost compare to traditional attorney services?
The amount of money you save may depend on how much legal help you need — but LegalShield has the potential to save you thousands. For example, a year's worth of family legal coverage costs $239.40. You might spend that much for only an hour or two of a traditional attorney's time. In addition, LegalShield members who need services outside the scope of their membership agreement qualify for a 25% discount off the standard hourly rate for generalist and specialist lawyers.
How soon can you speak to an attorney?
LegalShield puts its members in touch with an attorney within 8 hours following a request, or less. For emergency matters, members receive 24-hour access through a dedicated phone line. This is another point of difference between LegalShield and competitors.
Attorney Network and Experience
LegalShield's dedicated law firms employ 1,900 attorneys in 49 states and four provinces in Canada, as well as an additional 5,000 referral attorneys. This large network helps ensure members receive assistance in a variety of legal matters. In addition, LegalShield's lawyers average 20 years of experience.
History in Industry
LegalShield was founded in 1969, more than 40 years ago. The company originally was called Sportman's Motor club, then changed to Pre-Paid Legal Services in 1984. After 2001, it was officially called Legal Shield. Legal Shield provides legal services to over three million members in 49 states and four Canadian provinces.
Member Satisfaction / Service
ConsumerAffairs.com lists LegalShield as a Consumer Affairs Accredited Business, with a satisfaction rating of 4.5 stars. The positive reviews are great — however, at the time of this LegalShield review writing, we noticed that many of the negative reviews had been marked through with a "Factual basis uncertain" stamp. You can also find LegalShield reviews on the Better Business Bureau website, which has a mix of positive and negative reviews. The company does hold an A+ rating with the BBB.
Added Feature: Mobile App
LegalShield Members can download a free mobile app for 24/7 help with covered legal issues, such as traffic tickets or arrests.
Added Feature #2: Plan Recommender
If you're not sure which plan you need, LegalShield has a unique "Plan Recommender" tool that asks you a few questions and recommends a plan based on your responses.

In the age of Kickstarter, anything is possible.
My daughter, a media studies master's student specializing in studying "fandom," has been telling me for years that the rising power of fan communities is changing the balance of power in the entertainment industries. Now, I went to one of the first Star Trek cons (when they were still called conventions), I've watched a few episodes of Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites (years ago, not the current edition), and I once helped my son vote for a finalist on American Idol. But I wasn't sure about this "power of fans" thing.
Until now.
On March 13 Rob Thomas, the creator of the teen private eye drama Veronica Mars, went on Kickstarter, the U.S.-based fundraising site, to announce his plan to produce a movie based on the series. He didn't come alone: some of the series' top players, including star Kristen Bell, posted a video in which the gang got back together (for the first time since 2007) to kick around ideas for funding the film. Their conclusion: sell enough stuff to fans through Kickstarter to get the movie greenlit by Warner Brothers.
They set a goal of raising $2-million within 30 days. That would be enough, they thought, for Warners to sit up and take notice.
Then the fans got hold of it. Within 24 hours the Mars mission had raised $2.2-million. After two days, 46,000 fans had pushed the total past $2.8-million. Thomas promised that money raised beyond the $2-million target would be used to fund additional production values (read: car chases).
Understand: the fans are not investing in the movie. They are putting their money on the line because they want to see the movie made. Of course, they also get swag. One fan who donated $10,000 will win a small speaking role on the film. But everyone gets something.
- Those who donate $10 will be emailed a copy of the shooting script the day the movie opens. (Note: these prizes will be shipped only to U.S. addresses.)
- Those who donate $25 get an exclusive t-shirt, plus a copy of the script, plus email updates on the progress of the film.
- For $50, you get all of the above, plus a DVD of the movie with extra features not available elsewhere.
- For $100, you got all the above plus a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack with extra features.
And so on. For $200 you get all this swag plus a movie poster signed by the cast. For $350 a member of the cast will record a 15-second voice-mail message for your use. (Unless you want leading leady Bell to do it; that costs $500). For $400, Bell and Thomas will follow you on Twitter for a year.
Backers snapped up all 50 of the $750 packages, which included two tickets to the red-carpet movie premiere in Los Angeles, as well as the 100 $1,000 packages, which added two tickets to the after party. All 20 of the $2500 packages sold out in the first day, which entitle the backer to be a "background extra" in the film (though no promises you won't get left on the cutting room floor). And backers snapped up the five $50,000 packages, which give them a 50-seat premiere of the movie in a cinema of their choice.
It's not the biggest deal in the history of Kickstarter – that would still be the Pebble watch, an interactive e-paper wristwatch that set out to raise $100,000 last April and has now accrued $10.3-million. But the sudden success of the Veronica Mars mission raises some interesting points about the new funding economy:
- Community matters. Any product, company, project or idea with a proven fan base now has a way to convert that support into cash.
- Value matters. Thomas is offering his backers incredible value – from modestly priced t-shirt and DVDs to dirt-cheap movie premieres and priceless opportunities (because you can't normally buy them) to rub shoulders with a Hollywood cast and crew.
- Creativity is king. Most marketers are told to keep their offers simple. Thomas offered a breathtaking number of options and bonuses, limited only by his imagination. He trusted his fan base to appreciate the complexity, and to browse through the offers to find the one they liked most.
- Personalization is key. For varying amounts, Kristen Bell will record any video or voice mail message you ask her to (within reason, of course). Ditto for her company-stars, who include Enrico Colantoni, the Canadian who plays Veronica's father. You can't buy this stuff, even at Target.
Startups, established companies, organizations, social movements and shoot-the-moon projects are all raising money using crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter, or Indiegogo in Canada. While Canadian securities regulators are still coming to grips with the issue, one basic rule applies: you can offer all kinds of swag to potential backers, except equity.
But if you have enough fans, or enough imagination, that may be all you need to get what you want.
