Happy Halloween!!

Public:  Just add this circle and enjoy the photos in your stream!

Participants: Do you qualify? >>http://goo.gl/pRqyxR 
Create a "PEC Circle", add this new edition, view that stream and interact with the posts.  The more you engage members, the more engagement you'll get back!  It works like a community, but with much more focused results. (photo pun!)

Quick start instructions:
➊  Post a URL link to a recent G+ photo in the comments below 
Click photo links from others and +1 and comment, or share 
➌  Publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream
➍  Add this circle  (replace it every week) and view the stream regularly.  The attention you give will come back to you many-fold!
➎  +1 this post to say thanks to the curator and promote all the people in the circle!!

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other benefits, and is your option!

The optional Photo of the Week Contest that complements this photo share is here >>http://goo.gl/nL6Go4

Participation here qualifies you to enter the contest.  Last week's winner was +Heather Buckley , see her photo here >>http://goo.gl/W6wC3c.

The Biggest Ripple Award goes to  >>> +Alex Berg <<<  with a chain of 14 shares – tied for the record!  Thanks to all those that helped: +Krzysztof Felczak, +Patrick Willemain, +Giselle Savoie, +Michel Fabre, +Peter Grew, +Heiko Köster, +Robin Cohen, +Berit Schurse, +Dominique Bonnet, +Stefan Seidel, +Richard Lee, and +Robby Ball !!

Over 20,000 engagements so far in 2013, not including the 1000s of +1s to member comments and photos!

Public:  Just add this circle and enjoy the photos in your stream!

Create a "PEC Circle", add this new edition, view that stream and interact with the posts.  The better your relations are with the members, the more engagement you'll get back!  It works like a community, but with much more focused and condensed results.

Quick start instructions:
➀  Post a URL link to a recent G+ photo in the comments below,
➁  Check out photos from others and +1 and comment on them,
➂  Publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream
➃  Add this circle  (replace it every week) and view the stream regularly.  The engagement you put in will come back to you x10!

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other, indirect benefits, and is your choice!

The optional Photo of the Week Contest that complements this photo share is here >>http://goo.gl/xrMRfw

Participation here qualifies you to enter the contest.  Last week's winner was +Markus Guhl, see his photo here >>http://goo.gl/xrMRfw.

The Biggest Ripple Award goes to  >>> +Miguel Almeida <<<  with a chain of 14 shares – a new record!!  Thanks to all those that helped: +Piedmont OuttaBounds, +Maria Blosser, +James Petruzzi, +Septimiu Catona, +Stefan Seidel, +Stefanie Schächtel, +Anders Stedtlund, +Pradeep Sanyal, +Heiko Köster, +Peter Grew, +Elizabeth Lund and +Septimiu Catona(x2) !!

On a personal note, the PEC numbers were lower last week, and I suddenly realized that I had not shared (with 2nd notification), so that was the main reason for the delay, and last minute re-share.  Sorry for any confusion! 

I'd like to specifically invite our 'biggest' members to visit the PEC this week – the way that the new G+ metrics work, leaving your +1 and/or a comment makes a lot of difference as to the total number of users who see this post.  +Alan Shapiro +Robin Griggs Wood +Ron Clifford +Wick Sakit +Robert SKREINER  +Rodney Pike  This also ensures that you will stay in week to week!

The following people have earned advanced notification status by having maximum engagement!  This gets you higher in the comments (more views) as well as earlier sharing, which increases your chances of being Top Rippler or an Influencer. (those benefits are mostly internal to G+ and your own personal ranking or relevance)  I'm not going to list it this way every week, but I want to let everyone know that I can now follow all comments, +1s, and shares down to the last person (again).  The most active people in the group will be noted and acknowledged in some way!

+Ron Clifford +Cesare Riccardo +Robin Cohen +Eileen A. McAllister +Sandra Deichmann +Michael Sonntag +Dominique Dubied +Mladen Janjetovic +Andrey Vlasoff +Brian Dukes +Robinson Olivar, Jr +Barbara BM +Sara Schiavi +Elizabeth Lund +Betty Habesch +Jim Denham +Alex N. Gali  +Rodolfo Seide +Paul Paradis +Janusz Brakoniecki +Rick Leaf +BackCountry Navigator +Richard Pennells +Jasmina Brozović +Septimiu Catona +Richard Saasta +Petra Honecker +Britta Rogge +Richard Powazynski +Medicine Tree Studios +Alex Berg +Pål Børsting +Tami Quigley +Petit Chef D'Oeuvre +James Petruzzi +Ratul Maiti +k phelps +Heather Kelman +Chris Johnson +Nancy Dempsey +Howard Grill +Maria Blosser +Jim Haner +Pete Marquess +Larry Beekman +Richard Lee +Philippe Fileri +Matt Dioguardi +Makoto Ogawa +Sebastian T. +Carey St. Hilaire +Saki Toulas +Sergio Miranda +Ronak Patel +Antti Kuokkanen +Nina Dumlao +Mario Octavio Jimenez +Dean Addison +Mark Chisholm +Matthew Southard +Michelle Szabo +Patrick Willemain +Darcee McCutcheon  +Zoraya Tonel

If you think you should be on that list but aren't, make sure you share to your own public stream (so it appears on the records) and also double check the +1 has turned red – and stayed that way!
