Peace and relaxation, plus all the amenities to entertain and create wonderful memories without leaving home.
We had a wonderful family Christmas at this lovely home. It suited our somewhat diverse group perfectly. We had 6 adults and 3 children (8, 7, and 6). We had planned to take a few day trips, but enjoyed the house so much, we rarely left. The owners decorated for Christmas for us, including a beautiful tree, which made our stay so nice for all of us. We used the pool several times a day and particularly loved the 'water falls' and the fact that adult seating was so near-by. We used one of the outdoor tables for crafts and other activities for the children.
We loved the kitchen and used it constantly because our group consisted on vegans, vegetarians, gluten-sensitive, some food allergies, not to mention children with food preferences. It had a large, walk-in pantry and large refrigerator/freezer combination which made it very convenient for us to stock what we needed for the week.
There were too many small touches that made this stay so relaxing and enjoyable for all of us. One of our sons brought his telescope so we could watch the night sky. It was a perfect location for it. Shopping was nearby for last minutes purchases. The owner met us when we arrived and explained everything carefully; and then checked in regularly to ensure that we had everything needed. Several of us worked out in garage and took walks in neighborhood.
Everyone in our group hopes to return for another stay.
We just returned from San Diego and this home last night. We did not want to leave! Our group was four adults and three children (ages 7, 5 and 5), and the house suited us perfectly. The children LOVED the pool: waterfalls, a rock to jump from, and the pool toys. They also spent a lot of time on the trampoline. We visited over Thanksgiving, so the men in our group appreciated the outdoor TV where they could enjoy the sun and keep up with the Thanksgiving football games. There were also many different areas outside where we could relax: the pool area, the bar, the fireplace and the little outdoor "living room" area.
The house was decorated to a tee. Everything looked exactly as it appears in the photos. Everything was spotless and well-organized. The kitchen was well-stocked--we prepared our Thanksgiving dinner there and we had everything we needed.
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood on a cul de sac. Our kids enjoyed skateboarding and running around in this space. The home is quite close to the ocean, just a straight shot down a main thoroughfare to Moonlight Beach. We also visited Legoland and the San Diego Zoo, all within easy driving distance.
Julia, the owner, was more than helpful. She texted us occasionally to ensure we had what we needed, which was great.
In all, we had a wonderful time. The house was a perfect size for our group of seven. We loved the pool, the kitchen, the location, and of course the warm weather. I highly recommend this home!
Our stay a year ago was so fabulous, we decided to make it "twice as nice" by going back this year! From the second you enter the yard, the owners Stu and Julia make you feel like their home is your home. My first memory of the home was the extremely inviting wide open french doors whose curtains were gently blowing out into the open, California air. It was as if they were saying, "Come right in...." And so we did! But which entrance shall I begin with? The kitchen entrance with the amazing island, bar stools and giant table where my family enjoyed eating snacks every day. Or the billiard room with the beautiful piano in which I would serenade my family every night. Or the den where my children would spend each night watching netflix or the many dvds they had to offer after countless hours of jumping in the outdoor trampoline. No matter which way you entered, you mouth was just in awe. As you traveled upstairs, the decor was lined with small and large votives meticulously lit to add just the right amount of ambiance. Each room had its own emotion. The chalkboard bedroom as my kids would call it, was the perfect place for my two kids to hang out and feel like a skater boy. The front bedroom had a beautiful veranda to look over. The "Tiffany" blue room overlooked the yard and had such an open vibe. The master bedroom was so enormous along with the master bathroom that I did not know how I would ever go back home to my minute Brooklyn bathroom every again. The pool was like our second home that we frequented at all hours of day and night. And then the barbeque and bar area.... My father in laws paradise! We sat many a moments for every meal just hanging by the grill, sipping wine, mimosas and/or a cold beverage, watching television and relaxing as a family. At night, we would make smores near the outdoor fireplace and tell wonderful stories. My daughter got so attached to the amenities this house had to offer for both years, that the minute we arrived this year, she went straight to the bookshelf to find a Shel Silverstein poem book that she fell in love with last year. Thats what made this house so amazing. The wonderful family memories that we have made and continued to make this year. It was truly an amazing experience and a home that has left a wonderful impression on our entire family. Our friends back home see pictures and wonder where we went. There is a definite possibility for a THREE - PEAT!!!
How often does this happen: You scan lots of different vacation homes, finally select one based on the photos and reviews, and then you show up at the place and your immediate reaction is, Wow, this is even better than it looked!
That's what happened with Stew and Julia's incredible resort-like house in Carlsbad. Their place is perfect for all kinds of travelers: adventurers, foodies (what a kitchen!), folks seeking privacy and quiet, surfers, and more...
We were a group of two families with five kids ranging from 6 to 13 years old. The house has plenty to entertain kids (pool, trampoline, billiards, ping pong, Xbox, televisions) and plenty to entertain adults. Lots of space to spread out, and yet lots of space to gather together over a movie or a meal or by the outdoor fireplace while the sun sets.
We had imagined that we'd head out to the beach every day, but the house was so inviting, and the kids were so happy, that we spent several days just lounging around swimming, eating, talking, and playing there. Wonderfully relaxing.
What's more, Stew and Julia provided plenty of terrific recommendations and made us feel completely welcome and at home.
Can't say enough good things about this house or the owners. Truly magnificent.
I would highly recommend this home for your vacation rental. My family felt at home and the owners made you feel that as well. The home had charm and what an amazing back yard retreat. On our next stay we will return to Julia & Stews home. Thank You for everything!!!
My family and I spent a week at this beautiful home. The house is absolutely breathtaking, but what made this stay one of the best vacations we have ever been on, were the owners. They were so accommodating from start to finish. We arrived late in the evening and found everything as described. We walked around the house in complete awe. The pictures don't do this house justice. Completely breathtaking!!! The next day Julia and Stew came by to meet us and show us a few things about the house, especially the resort like backyard. They made sure everything was the way we expected it to be and I will say that they and there home were way above our expectations. The backyard was so awesome we never wanted to come inside. The kids couldn't get enough of the pool. I personally couldn't get enough of the gourmet kitchen and outside grilling area. I love to cook and this kitchen and outdoor grilling area were like being in heaven. It is fully stocked with appliances for preparing anything you can imagine. So awesome!! After an evening swim, we enjoyed relaxing in the media room and watching movies. Overall, this home and Julia and Stew made this vacation perfect. They were available for anything we needed, from replacing a 20 lb propane tank for the deck heater to helping us find places to dine. They made us feel like this was our home while we were staying there. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone!!! Julia and Stew made this entire process completely stress free. BEST VACATION RENTAL EVER!!!! Thanks for everything

Ruth Galanter
Ruth Galanter (born about 1941) was an environmentalist who served on the Los Angeles, California, City Council from 1987 to 2003 and was known for supporting "slow growth" policies on the city's Westside and elsewhere. She was the victim of a knife attack by a home intruder in 1987 that left her severely wounded. She now has her own consulting business.

Early life[edit]
Galanter was born about 1941 in New York City, the only child of a teacher and an advertising salesman. She grew up in the Bronx, New York, "dreaming of becoming an artist, or maybe an investigative reporter." Ruth's father died when she was age 6. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and her master's degree in planning from Yale. She moved to Los Angeles in 1970.[1][2]
She was known as a "deft negotiator," working out "delicate compromises that allowed some construction by private landowners" but that saved "key ecological sites."[3]
|She was one of the most intelligent people in public office I've ever dealt with.
—Mayor Richard Riordan[2]
When she was leaving public office at the age of 62 in 2003, a Los Angeles Times reporter described her as a "contrarian councilwoman, an irascible poet who pens verses during public meetings and is known for speaking her mind. . . . her blunt style could be alienating. . . . Her sentences are often long and clause-filled, and she does not suffer fools." And she engaged in "insatiable consumption of detective novels."[2]
On May 6, 1987, Galanter was "brutally assaulted" in her Venice home in the 2200 block of Louella Avenue[4] by an intruder who left her in critical condition with stab wounds in her neck. The intruder entered through a screen window at the back of the house. Neighbors heard screaming and the sound of a burglar alarm[5] that Galanter was able to trigger after the attack.[6] "One wound severed the carotid artery that supplies blood to the left side of the brain, and the other punctured the pharynx, part of the food tube near the esophagus."[7]
Police soon tabbed Mark Allen Olds, who lived in a rooming house across the street from Galanter, as a suspect. Police Chief Daryl Gates said Olds was "a former gang member with an extensive record of arrests, including two for a 1979 gang murder and others for drug use."[7] At his trial Galanter testified that she had suffered "permanent damage" to her throat and was "too frightened to sleep through the night."[6] A reporter wrote sixteen years later that the attack had left Galanter's "New York-accented voice with a slight croak."[2]
A jury found Olds guilty of first-degree burglary and second-degree attempted murder involving great bodily injury and the use of a knife. It acquitted him of a more serious charge of attempted murder with premeditation, which could have carried a life sentence. Olds was sentenced to the maximum term, 14 years and 4 months, but was expected to serve only about 6-1/2 years with time off for good behavior.[8]
Galanter made a study-trip to Antarctica in January 1989 as an "exotic vacation" she had promised herself as she lay in bed bleeding from the knife attack.[9][10]
While a Yale student, Galanter and "scores of others" opposed a New Haven urban renewal program that would have bulldozed buildings and cut streets through poor and working-class neighborhoods. In 1973 she was the first California resident to file an appeal under the state's Coastal Preservation Act against an approved project—a Santa Monica plan "first proposed as 1,480 luxury residential units [that in the end] wound up as 340 condos and 160 units for seniors."[1]
In 1973, working as the newsletter editor with the National Health Law Program, a federally funded legal-services program for the poor, she was part of a group endorsing a statewide campaign for national and state health insurance.[11][12]
Living in Santa Monica at the time, Galanter was active in opposition to a 1976 plan to move two decrepit frame Carpenter Gothic houses from their Ocean Avenue addresses north of Wilshire Boulevard to a city-owned lot in Ocean Park, turning one into an upscale restaurant and the other into a historic museum. Both were built around the start of the 20th Century, one of them by Roy Jones, son of Senator John P. Jones, founder of Santa Monica. The opposition was enough to kill the project, dubbed Heritage Square,[12] which was eventually finished years later under tighter regulations.
In 1979, she became the Southern California director of the California League of Conservation Voters.[13]
Public service[edit]
Coastal Commission[edit]
Galanter was appointed to the South Coast Regional Coastline Commission by Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown in January 1977.[14] She was elected chairman in 1980.[15]
|She can talk straight to people but also gain a modicum of trust from them.
—Peter Grenelli, executive officer of the Coastal Conservancy.[3]
In projects that came before the commission, Galanter insisted on including low-income housing in every development.[1] Decisions on affordable housing, she said, were "probably the most controversial facing the commission."
After leaving the commission, she started her own planning consulting firm.[1] One of her clients was the State Coastal Conservancy Commission,[16] "an agency charged with restoring damaged coastal lands." As such, she "worked to preserve wetlands threatened by development in Long Beach and Huntington Beach."[3]
City Council[edit]
See also Los Angeles municipal election returns, 1987 and after.
In 1987, Los Angeles City Council District 6 was a "diverse area" that included "racially mixed" Venice and Mar Vista, as well as predominantly white Westchester and mostly black Crenshaw.[17]
In the primary election of April 1987 against incumbent Pat Russell, Galanter "stunned Russell by capturing 29% of the primary vote to Russell's 42%." Battling for votes in the final election, the Russell camp made much of the fact that Tom Hayden, "a powerful and controversial 1960s figure" was supporting Galanter and that she also had the support of the Venice Town Council, a civic group "composed mostly of left-wing activists." It was said that Galanter was attempting a "liberal balancing act."[17]
She knew radical and anti-war activist Tom Hayden in college and endorsed him when he ran for the California Assembly in 1982. Some of her opponents suggested she was a pawn of left-wingers, a charge she rejected.[1] Hayden said later he would make no endorsements in her race against Russell,[18] but at the last moment did exactly that, impelling the Russell campaign to send out "mail informing voters of Hayden's endorsement."[19]
Galanter won the June 1987 final vote, 21,846 to 15,855[19] in what the Los Angeles Times called "a dramatic election that signals the rise of a new constituency in city politics and sends troubling signals to the mayor's office" (Tom Bradley). The Times added:
Russell brought money, at least $400,000, and establishment backing into the race. They were no match for Galanter's army of neighborhood activists, made up of Democrats, Republicans, suburban homeowners and bohemian renters. . . . The election was also widely regarded as a harbinger of a new brand of politics in the city, with Galanter leading a protest against the effect of development on traffic, air and water pollution and neighborhood tranquility. . . . On the advice of three consulting firms hired after the primary, Russell sought to put Galanter on the defensive with a blizzard of campaign literature picturing her as a Hayden crony whose campaign was being run by Venice radicals.[19]
Four years later, a tough fight against six other candidates—including Tavis Smiley, later known as a radio and television commentator— forced Galanter into a runoff with Republican Mary Lee Gray, who was an aide to County Supervisor Deane Dana and who polled well "in portions of the affluent Venice Peninsula, as well as the Crenshaw District. Galanter had to "fend off charges that she has gotten too close to developers and lobbyists," and she was criticized for "large projects in her district, including the sprawling Playa Vista development near Marina del Rey."[20]
Galanter, however, won the final, 18,153 votes to 7,998.[21]
Slow growth[edit]
One of her passions, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported,
sweeping Southern California with new political vigor, is limiting growth in the vast Los Angeles basin. In the fight against forests of new high-rise office towers, new oil-drilling rigs, new mini-malls, sewage in Santa Monica Bay, more smog over the Hollywood hills and, most of all, more traffic on the freeways, Galanter is a suddenly renowned advocate of what has come to be known as the slow-growth movement.[22]
Galanter "vehemently opposed" major development projects in her district, including the proposed Howard Hughes Center, a 3.1-million-square-foot project. "The Pentagon is 3.7 million square feet," she said. "We're talking about putting the Pentagon on one side of the San Diego Freeway."[1]
Playa Vista[edit]
|. . . she got swallowed up in pragmatism. . . . She had a chance to step up to the plate and she sort of sagged up there instead.
—Tom Hayden, on Galanter's vote favoring Playa Vista.[3]
Strongly opposed to the plans of Summa Corporation for a 1,087-acre piece of prime vacant land at the foot of the Westchester Bluffs when she first entered the City Council in 1987—"one of the largest real estate developments ever contemplated for Los Angeles"[2]—Galanter spent much of her time afterward in trying to mitigate the effects of the proposed $7 billion residential, retail and hotel package; she did, at the end, vote in favor of the deal as it was finally put forth by Maguire Thomas Partners in 1993.[23]
That "especially wrenching" vote caused dissension among her backers,[23] but it was later noted that the deal "would preserve 270 acres of the Ballona Wetlands, create a riparian corridor, pour millions into easing traffic problems and put recycling facilities in place" and that "She also won commitments for affordable housing units."[2]
Beach sleeping, 1987. She called for tougher laws to ban overnight sleeping on the city's beaches.[24]
Nuclear reactors, 1988. Calling the Metropolitan Water District's idea of a nuclear plant near the Los Angeles International Airport a "bad April Fools' joke," Galanter called for a citywide ban on construction of that or any other reactor "not used for research." The MWD was making a preliminary study of locations for a nuclear plant to produce electricity and convert seawater to drinking water.[25]
Wildlife preserve, 1990. She asked that 200 acres be set aside near Los Angeles International Airport for a wildlife preserve because at least ten endangered species lived there.[26]
Animal shelters, 1992, Galanter sought a grand jury probe of conditions in the city's animal shelters, maintaining that animals in the city's six shelters "are treated inhumanely and are often destroyed within hours after arriving."[27]
Pay raise, 1993–95. Galanter declined to accept a pay raise, which was "automatically granted by City Charter, in 1993 and 1994, but accepted it in 1995, bringing her salary to the level of Municipal Court judges—$98,069 per year.[28]
Airports, 1998–99. She opposed expansion plans at Los Angeles International Airport but favored them at Palmdale Airport. Both sites are under the ownership of the city of Los Angeles.[2][29][30]
San Fernando Valley[edit]
In July 2002, the City Council voted to move Galanter's entire 6th District into the East San Fernando Valley, including Arleta, Sun Valley and parts of Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Panorama City and Pacoima, because of the increase of population in the Valley. At first opposed to the move, Galanter later embraced it and "unveiled an ambitious plan to curb flooding in Sun Valley, remove hundreds of pieces of discarded furniture throughout the district, repair streets and energize the political culture of a district known for voter apathy."[31]
Galanter worked with the community to get a $50,000 sculpture installed at Van Nuys Airport—"a piece of public art demanded by some people who were outraged over a series of bronze statues that they said were a poor fit for the airport."[31] The Los Angeles Daily News reported that:
Galanter said the project represents the first time a Los Angeles community was able to select the kind of art it wanted under the city's program that funnels 1 percent of developers' fees to public art. The winning design is a 15-foot-high concrete replica of an airplane wing, adorned with a bronze eagle. Its base is surrounded by figurines from aviation and Hollywood —Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, Bobbi Trout—who helped shape the history of the 75-year-old facility where the final scene from the classic "Casablanca" was filmed.[32]
Later career[edit]
In 2005-06, Galanter occupied the Bellarmine College Visiting Chair in Los Angeles Urban Research at Loyola Marymount University. At that time she was the principal of Galanter and Company, a consulting firm specializing in "land use, urban infrastructure, environmental policy and political strategy."[33]
Galanter said when she left office she believed her "most lasting legacy" would be a law requiring low-flush toilets in homes.[2]

After investing millions of dollars into a contract to consolidate data centers and profit from the cost savings acheived, Lockheed Martin now sits idle waiting further explanation of why OMB put a hold on the project in March. (Stock image).
Energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) have been widely used across the federal government to improve energy efficiency at major facilities' infrastructures, but a first-of-its-kind partnership between the Department of Energy and contractor Lockheed Martin aims to bring those same optimizations to data centers. Energy CIO Robert Brese earned an FCW Federal 100 award for his work in establishing such arrangements.
Here's how it could work: An energy savings company (ESCO) – in this case Lockheed Martin – identifies energy consumption metrics, discovers improvements and creates an energy savings project catered to the agency. The identified savings pays for the cost of the project, rendering capital and upfront investments unnecessary. The agency then would have a repeatable method for optimizing its data centers to specifications set forth by the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, and would make good on President Barack Obama's energy savings projects memorandum.
Presidential Memorandum -- Implementation of Energy Savings Projects and Performance-Based Contracting for Energy Savings
Addendum to OMB Memorandum M-98-I3 on Federal Use of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) and Utility Energy Service Contracts (UESCs)
There's just one problem with this first ESPC: DOE officials say that as they prepared in March to issue a task order to Lockheed Martin -- after going through more than a year's worth of work and completing the necessary approval processes -- officials at the Office of Management and Budget placed the project "on hold."
Reasons for the hold on the $70 million data center consolidation ESPC are not known, and OMB did not confirm or deny the hold to FCW. It is unclear whether OMB has the authority to place another agency's contract on hold.
As the ESCO for the project, Lockheed Martin's profits would have come directly from savings it guaranteed DOE. The optimization of two data centers – one in New Mexico and one in Maryland – projected to achieve a 70 percent reduction in energy consumption and generate another $6 million in annual lifecycle cost savings. Such savings would have paid the contract off in six years. The hold puts the company, which invested millions of dollars at its own risk, in the unenviable position of waiting for answers that haven't come yet.
"ESPCs address the challenges of data center consolidation most often cited by Federal CIOs -- lack of funds and uncertainty about the return on investment," said Roger Flanagan, Director of Energy Solutions for Lockheed Martin. "By competitively selecting a partner at the outset of project development, agencies can draw on industry expertise to significantly reduce large energy consumption and costs associated with IT operations."
The hold has also had a chilling effect on other data center ESPC efforts, according to Jennifer Schafer, executive director of the Federal Performance Contracting Coalition, an industry group that represents energy service companies. Three other major agencies – the General Services Administration, NASA and the U.S. Navy -- have selected ESCOs for their own data center optimization efforts, and others like the Department of Transportation have released notices of opportunity.
All are now looking at what happens with the DOE-Lockheed Martin deal. If it falls apart, Schafer said, the whole movement probably will.
"It's the first, and it would be incredibly awful for them to have a bad decision on this first one – the rest will die," Schafer said. "We won't do data centers in the federal government."
Paul Hamilton, vice president of government affairs for Schneider Electric, said his company is hoping to receive a task order soon from the Navy for work that includes data center optimization in San Diego. Schneider Electric is a big player in the world of data center infrastructure, and one of 16 ESCOs in the DOE's Federal Energy Management Program under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract that previously did long-term modernization work like lighting.
Hamilton said its recent efforts in data center optimization will be for naught if the OMB hold continues indefinitely. "We're not waiting in the wings, we're actively developing those projects right now and proceeding as if it will get resolved," he said. "If it doesn't, then we've done a lot of work for nothing."
Hamilton's main criticism of OMB's handling of the issue is a lack of transparency.
No industry reps contacted by FCW, including Lockheed Martin and Schneider Electric, had seen or read any explanation from OMB for the hold. When contacted by FCW, officials from DOE said they had not received an explanation from OMB, a timeline for when a decision might come, or a detailed reasoning behind the decision to hold. OMB declined to answer those and other questions when posed by FCW.
"OMB provides guidance to agencies regarding the implementation of these memoranda," said an OMB spokeswoman, referring to the Federal Use of ESPCs and Utility Energy Service Contracts memorandum.
The hold also raised eyebrows because OMB has championed "innovative efforts" for agencies in recent months, with federal CIO Steven VanRoekel and others calling on agencies to do things like optimize data centers with increasingly tight wallets.
OMB has been criticized by GAO and congressional oversight committees for its poor leadership and lack of metrics in carrying out the FDCCI, which OMB once promised would save the government several billion dollars. A recent GAO report, released during a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, stated only $63 million in documented savings and cost avoidance would be achieved by fiscal 2013's end.
And now ESPCs -- and OMB's hold -- are on the congressional radar as well.
On May 2, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) penned a letter to the White House calling for the increased use of ESPCs. In the letter, Wyden specifically urged OMB to approve "these and future projects in a timely manner in order to ensure that momentum continues toward achieving the $2 billion ESPC investment goal."
"ESPCs are a good deal for government," Wyden said. "These projects save money by reducing the cost of energy and operations in federal buildings, and they do not require any outlay of funds. For these reasons, I urge you to support a robust ESPC program and to reduce administrative barriers to the use of these contracts. In this time of serious budget constraint, I intend to do all I can to work with you in maximizing the use of performance contracting."

|Graeme's Circle of Active GooglePlussers! . . . This is a curated circle of active people on Google+ If you add this circle, you will see hundreds of new posts per day in your stream from this circle alone. If you're in the circle (you'll know 'cause I notified you) then please reshare it! It's a circle of people I started following in May, and who have consistently posted something at least once a week during all of weeks since then. If you want an interesting stream, you should add this circle. If you're interested in how I curated this circle, and why I think it makes for a really great stream, read on. . .How did these people get in the circle?. . . They must have posted something interesting, at least once, because I don't follow people unless they post something interesting. By now, you're probably not surprised by the number of people on G+ whose pages are full of repeated posts, videos without comments, "what's up" and other uninteresting things. I don't follow those people.How did they stay in the circle since they were added?. . . After I add someone, I keep them in the circle of people I added around the same time. Then, several times a week, I go through all my circles and delete people who haven't posted (something visible to me) in the last 7 days. So the people who are left in the circle are consistent posters. That says something important about them, because consistency is a proxy for quality.Wait. What? Why is consistency is a proxy for quality?. . . I'll admit it: I don't have the science to back up that wild statement, but I'll tell you why I believe it to be true. People who post crap don't get a lot of followers, and the few followers they have don't bother to engage. After a while, the crappy-posting people start to think G+ is a ghost town, and they lose interest (or funding). On the other hand, the people who share (or re-share) interesting things get followers and engagement, slowly at first, but ever increasing, and this outpouring of love is what keeps them going. That's what I think anyway, and I'm sticking to it.People who share interesting things get lots of followers. . . This is another half-baked theory of mine, but hear me out. You might think this makes sense: Google+ offers suggestions of people to follow, especially to new users. Google+'s only source of names to suggest is other G+ers like yourself. The G+ers who have the most engagement are the ones Google+ knows will be good to follow, so these people get put out as suggestions more often, and some percentage of those suggestions are taken up. So the more engagement you have, the more Google+ will suggest you as a person to follow, and so the more followers you'll get. Completing the theory: the more interesting the stuff you share (or reshare), the more engagement you'll get, and hence the more followers you'll get.Do you punish people for unfollowing you by unfollowing them back?. . . No. Well, not directly. I only unfollow people who haven't posted in the past 7 days. If you posted privately to your circles or your extended circles, and then you unfollow me, then I won't see those posts any more, and I'll assume you haven't posted in the past 7 days, and, yes, I will unfollow you in that case. But if your posts are public, my methodology doesn't care whether you follow me.Do you promise me there won't be any spammers in this circle?. . . No, I can't make that promise for 2 reasons. First, one person's spam is another person's interesting post. A plumbing contractor who posts fascinating details of pipe fitting, each with a link to his company's website might go either way. Second, a clever spammer will intersperse interesting posts with annoying spam -- maybe 5

|Those of you flocking here from the horror that is Facebook, or any that have been here for a while, or maybe even never a part of FB, some pointers to get you started.First thing to know if you type a question mark pretty much anywhere (as long as you don't have a text field in focus, in other words a blinking cursor where you would type text) in G+ you get a little pop up that gives you some handy basic keyboard shortcuts.If you are new here and and you are looking to make your feed more active, click the two little circles labeled Find people in the icons down the left side of the G+ page. There you can search for people you know and add them to your circles. Circles are what G+ uses to allow you to organize your friends list. G+ starts you off with a few default Circles to use, you just need to add people and/or pages to things you enjoy to one of those circles. Once you have you will see grey buttons at the top of your main feed (The page you get to if you click the big Google+ icon in the top left hand corner). The first button is the default All circles button, here you will see all of the posts of every person/page you have added to any of your circles. Next to the All button you will see buttons with the names of your circles. If you click one of them you will of course see just posts from people/pages in that circle, but also on the rightish side, not quite at the top of the page, you will find a button that says Settings. That is a drop down that gives you two check boxes. One is "Show posts in home stream" the other is "Get Notified of new posts". They pretty much do what they say, and "get notified" means any posts from this circle will make the number between your name and the + Share button in the top right hand corner increment and go red. You can click that number at any time (even if it's red and 0) to get a drop down window which will show a condensed version of all posts from circles you get notified about. It will also notify you any time someone circles you back, and any +1s you have received in posts or comments you have made. As well as, comments in posts you have also commented on. On this Settings button you will also see a grey area that says Amount. If you hover over that you get to choose More, Standard, or Fewer. Which controls how frequently the posts from that circle appear in your feed.If you combine the above tools with the fact that you can change the name of any circle, add as many as you like, and also have people in more than one circle, you have very granular control over what posts you see and when, and exactly who can see your posts. You can also share your circles with other people, as I have done below. If you click the View shared circle button below, you will be able to see all the pages in a circle I call, go figure, Pages. You can look through it and if you like everything you can just add the whole circle as a new circle. Or, you can pick and choose which things you find interesting and add just them to your own circle that you already have or create a new circle. Moving stuff from circle to circle is as easy and dragging the rectangle for that particular page/person and dropping onto the circle you want it to be in. You could also just add this circle in full and then just delete the stuff you don't want (little x in top right hand corner of each rectangle when you hover over it). Or just view this circle to get ideas for what sort of stuff can be searched for, and use the search box at the top of the Find people/Circle page to find stuff you like.Now once you have some friends added to circles, and pages/people you would like to follow added as well, your feed will get much more interesting. Now on to posting your own stuff. In the Share what's new... field at the top of pages, you can of course type anything you like

They DELETED their G+ Account or was BANNED or maybe put it on HOLD and I uncircled them to make room for new people as I am at the 5K Limit.3. They did some kind of combination of all that and changed their own G+ name so many times that they got uncircled at some point most likely by accident.4. They BLOCKED me which seems weird, why would someone do that?(Some people included in these circles had uncircled me at some point I think but still are relevant, despite their strange nature, according to Google at least)5.

|It's been a while, so I decided to update my "Suggested People" circle. This is a very small circle designed to be a starter kit for anyone just getting started. These are mostly great content creators or excellent sharers. There's also a couple in here that may not share often, but you would hate to miss out on nonetheless. cough Nathan Fillion cough

|Pages I have circledI use a page myself here and so I understand what Pages go through. It's a lot harder to interact and you cannot circle people, but have to wait for people to circle you. These are amazing pages which I have circled and follow - it's an eclectic collection from +Memetic Engineering and +#G+SF Anthologies to +Google+ Help (Unofficial) managed by close friends, with amazing content to+Science on Google+: A Public Database, +Biology in Science Fiction who have Science-related content.Other pages such has +Best Shared Circle +Shared a Circle with you, +Public Circles and +CIRCLES have been very supportive in terms of sharing and have some incredible content.While they are all fun to follow, they have put a lot of time and effort into managing their pages :) Circle them for great content! #circleshare #pages #pageshare

|Its been some time since I shared from this account.These are my top friends... why share? Because if you want to meet awesome people they are in this circle!Some of the people I have met by serendipity, and a lot thanks to +Ted Ewen, +Mz Maau, +Jamez Frondeskias and people I circled randomly. But the experience has been wonderful.You will noticed a marked tilt towards Science Fiction, Geekery and Randomness, but there are some people who take awesome Pictures like +Charles Strebor and +Jacob Dix. Others who have a unique take on things like +Jack Stanley and +Yoon-Mi Kim.When making circles, my endeavor has been to have the best quality people here who share and engage. So if you're new here, add these people. If you have been some time in G+, you know what I'm talking about. This is my way of hat tipping to the wonderful people here - Thank you for being a wonderful friend and supporter!! #topcircles #lacerantplainer +Lacerant Plainer

|+Jonathan Levin Took me a while to get back to you on this. But here is a sample circle of some cool profiles here on G+. I was going to share this only with you, but then realized that I should just share this list with everyone! Maybe someone else was hoping to find more interesting people to circle too. +David Garcia has an awesome blog called "Keep it up David". He posts links to his blog every day on G+. Basically David used to weigh over 400 pounds and now he weighs closer to 230. This blog tells his story. He's also hilarious and has been a good friend of mine since 1993. +Adam DiLeo is my friend. He started on G+ in October posting about his blog 31 Flavors of Terror, where he reviewed one horror movie a day for a month. Now he posts a bit less frequently, but always shares really good articles. Also a hilarious friend of mine, since 1997. +Harald Wagener works with me at Google. He is an excellent photographer and posts a lot of great pictures. +Andy Bohm also works with me at Google. He also posts a lot of great stuff, does a lot of hangouts, and gets a lot of engagements on his posts. +Christina Trapolino used to post more often, but she started her Circle Sundays back up. You're looking for good people to follow? Look out for Christina's Sunday posts and you'll get quite a collection.+ZAGAT +Food Network - if you like food stuff these are good pages to follow.+Tom Anderson the founder of My Space - I think he used to post more interesting stuff before he took up photography. I like his photography and it's fun to watch his progress as he learns new techniques, but I was more interested in the other topics he used to post about. +Team Coco - Like Conan? Put this page in your circles. +Jeff Bates works with me at Google. He's a super cool dude and posts fun things every now and then.

|Picking up on a circle share by +Louis Gray filled with comedy and late-night show pages, I decided to research a bit more and see how many comedians I could find on G+. This circle has my initial findings. There's a few in here who are in thousands of circles, but also a lot of hard to find ones who I'm sure you would enjoy having in your stream.Circle cleaned of anyone who hasn't posted publicly in 2012. I did not filter based on any personal preference. Please let me know in the comments if there's any more people I should have included in here!

|Shared Circle of Comedy and Late-Night+Team Coco and +The Daily Show are webhead favorites in the world of late-night, as are +The Colbert Report and +Jimmy Kimmel Live. During the weekdays, you can see the geeks sharing comics from +Matthew Inman and +Randall Munroe, the sharp minds behind the Oatmeal and xkcd. In the world of standup, no comedian has a better success rate of making me laugh than +Gabriel Iglesias. So it's only fair that they're all here. Here is my shared circle for Comedy and Late Night. Even +The Onion is here. Enjoy. The laughs are free.

Hanuman Hindu God in the evening sun in central New Delhi, India
Ronen M and grace hatfield added this photo to their favorites.
A nice, short while, when only tops of trees catch last rays of sun.
(I like reflection in the puddle, as on the other day I took more puddle reflection than other photos ... it was rather dull, grey day, though ;-)
Faithful Hanuman, ready to lift a mountain again, if necessary
I really like it !
Thanke you for posting this exceptional ONE OF A KIND photo to our spacial 'weekly theme' thread.
It's very nice of you being active in our group. Keep on the good work !
You can post up to 10 images every day to our pool.
Like the reflection!

The Lonely Girl With The Broken Heart
She sat in the same corner by the window waiting for her true love to sweep her up off her feet. That same lonely girl sits by herself with a broken heart. She never had friends. No one came to visit her; no one called her to see that she was okay or if she wanted to hang out.

Act One, created by Tara Sievers-Hunt, features opera arias from Emilias repertoire alongside monologues inspired by newspaper interviews given by the singer in 1950s-1970s. Act Two showcases new music by Canadian composer Jeff Smallman with text by Windsor Poet Laureate, Marty Gervais. Project director and Marygrove College music professor, Tara Sievers-Hunt will appear as Emilia, while Oakland University lecturer and contemporary soprano, Jocelyn Zelasko will perform the role of Pat. A short documentary about the project, Imagining Angels has been created by Canadian Arts Productions, which premiered at the Windsor International Film Festival in November, and will again be shown at the Toronto Short Film Festival in March.

Michel Gaunoux Pommard Grands Epenots 1er Cru 2010
Michel Gaunoux - Burgundy - France - Cote De Beaune - Pommard
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Pinot Noir translates as 'black pine' in French, and is named as such due to the extremely inky color of the fruits, which hang in bunches the shape of a pine cone. Wineries often struggle with Pinot Noir vines, as more than most red wine grape varietals, they fail in hot temperatures and are rather susceptible to various diseases which can be disastrous when hoping for a late harvest. Thanks to new technologies and methods for avoiding such problems, however, the Pinot Noir grape varietal has spread across the world to almost every major wine producing country. Why? Quite simply because this is considered to be one of the finest grape varietals one can cultivate, due to the fact that it can be used to produce a wide range of excellent wines full of interesting, fresh and fascinating flavors Their thin skins result in a fairly light-bodied wine, and the juices carry beautiful notes of summer fruits, currants and berries, and many, many more.
In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
France's beautiful and highly esteemed sub-region of Cote De Beaune is rightly regarded as the home to many of the world's finest, most complex and fascinating white wines. The white wine industry of Cote De Beaune is based almost solely around the Chardonnay grape, which flourishes especially well in the fine climatic conditions the region receives, and ripens well due to the mineral rich soils which typify the area. Chardonnay is renowned for its ability to express the best points of its terroir, and local winemakers claim that a mixture of traditional techniques and the stunning soils they work with is the secret to their success. There is also a huge red wine industry in Cote De Beaune, which, although not quite as famous as the white wines that leave the region, produces remarkable results from the excellent Pinot Noir grapes which grow there.
