ANAHEIM (CBSLA.com/AP) — Anaheim's police chief Thursday cited insufficient evidence in the decision not to arrest an off-duty Los Angeles police officer who fired a weapon during an altercation with a group of teenagers.
In an afternoon news conference, Anaheim police Chief Raul Quezada said officers interviewed everyone involved in the skirmish, and arrested a 13-year-old boy on suspicion of making criminal threats after the off-duty officer alleged that the teen had threatened to shoot him.
The boy disputed that claim, saying he told the off-duty officer he was going to "sue" him.
Quezada said the off-duty officer, who has not been identified, was interviewed and his weapon was seized. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. The LAPD confirmed the officer has been on the force for less than 10 years.
No one was hurt in the scuffle at the intersection of Euclid Street and Palais Road that started Tuesday afternoon after the off-duty LAPD officer took action in an ongoing dispute with students walking after school. The officer had reported the problem in the past to local police, said Anaheim Sgt. Daron Wyatt.
The 13-year-old, who is the stepson of an Anaheim police officer, was booked on suspicion of making a criminal threat and battery. He was released from Orange County Juvenile Hall Wednesday. A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of assault and battery.
Police Chief Raul Quezada defended his department's decision to arrest the two teens, but not the officer, who detained the 13-year-old boy after believing the boy threatened him. The investigation continues and the chief wouldn't rule out charges against anyone involved.
Anaheim police have seized the officer's personal gun as evidence for their investigation and expect to present their case to the Orange County District Attorney's Office within two weeks. LAPD is conducting its own internal investigation.
Videos shot from different angles and posted on YouTube show the officer clenching the boy's sweatshirt and pulling him across the lawn as they argued about what precipitated the incident.
"In the officer's mind, he heard the young man say he was going to shoot him. He thought he had a gun," said the officer's attorney, Larry Hanna, in a statement.
"It was a warning shot to get this crowd of people away from him who were intent on doing him bodily injury and it's shown on the video he was doing no bodily injury to the young man."
The 13-year-old believed the officer, who was not named, had cursed at a teenage girl who had walked across his lawn in the area of single-family homes, many with tidy flower beds and well-pruned trees, about 2 miles west of Disneyland.
Michael Carrillo, an attorney representing the teenage girl, said she had "grazed" the officer's lawn when he began shouting expletives at her. Carrillo said the altercation turned physical after the boy stepped in and told the officer he shouldn't curse at a child.
Mayor Tom Tait said he was "deeply disturbed" and angered by what he saw on video of the incident, but he also denounced violence and damage caused by demonstrators.
"The video shows an adult wrestling with a 13-year-old kid, and ultimately firing a gun," Tait said. "This has been a blow to our community."
Hundreds of people marched through suburban Anaheim streets late Wednesday, some blocking traffic and carrying signs that said "no shooting zone." Police arrested two dozen people, including children, after the crowd ignored orders to disperse.
A forensics team Thursday searched for evidence at the LAPD officer's home, which was vandalized Wednesday night, along with the officer's vehicle.
A second home, located around the corner from the officer's residence, was mistakenly defaced by protesters who thought it belonged to the LAPD officer. Neighbor Joe Gulrich, 76, said his house was spray-painted and police told him he should leave for his own safety. When he returned late at night, he found a rock had been thrown through his front window.
On Thursday night, a much smaller group of protesters showed up to demonstrate in the neighborhood of the LAPD officer. However, following Wednesday night's violence and vandalism, Anaheim police in riot gear taped and blocked off the area, preventing them from getting through.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Protective League said Thursday the cellphone video shows the officer was physically assaulted by multiple individuals and sustained injuries in Tuesday's incident. The union said an officer has the right to self-defense no matter the age of the offender.

This is not "peaceful protest." These people are too stupid to know what a peaceful protest is about. Burning cars, breaking windows and all sorts of vandalism is not – I repeat: NOT peaceful protest. It is a RIOT, and should be quelled with all force necessary.
Send the Mexican illegals back to Mexico.
I'm sure Mexican police will be much more tolerant of this criminal behaviour.
This is why police should be illegal, too. Police are private security guards of the corporation you call your town or city. Only Sheriffs which are voted in should be used for law enforcement.
Power over life and death should not be given to security guards called police. The Sheriffs can hire as many deputies as needed, but everyone is replaced when new sheriff is elected. We don't need to make life-long corruption by police a part of our daily lives. In USA we vote for the people who have power to order us around.
The fake news media gets their fake news from Pentagon and CIA. The corruption of US government is far too great. We need to downsize the US government by following and obeying "Exempt income" already written in income tax law.
WHAT IS TAXED d ot c om
You are a nut…
Why do you think Mexico is a corrupt 3rd world sh^thole,because they Have no law and order.Just watch these feral animals,being taught by the liberal,You dont see the conservatives teaching this behavior!
Euro-Americans are the Real Illegal Aliens. Mexicans are native Americans, not aliens. Mexico is a very large Indian reservation in the American apartheid system created by Euro-Americans. Euro-Americans in the United States who have the same fears as White people in South Africa before the apartheid wall fell. They fear being overrun by 100 million brown people. Like apartheid South Africa, the brown people from the Mexican reservation are allowed to come in temporarily and do menial work, but must return to their reservations when the work is done. They both must have a pass to be off their reservation. TRUMP's WALL is all about control of indigenous brown people. \ The brown people of Mexico have been on the North American continent for tens of thousands of years. They are American Indians indigenous to America and thus cannot be illegal aliens. One cannot be both indigenous and alien since these are opposites. Euro-Americans renamed them Hispanic, Latino, Mexican, Chicano for reasons of self-gain. By renaming them eventually people forget that they are Indigenous North American Indians. Once forgotten then the American land is free for the taking.

Agree 100% – LA has become a third world toilet because of all the Hispanic illegal aliens. They have no respect for our laws or our property as demonstrated by these feral animal "teens" who provoked the guy by coming onto his property in the first place. I wish he had shot a bunch of them not just fired a warning shot. Did you see them scatter like the roaches they are?
All of this just makes me support Trump even more. I believe he is the only one that will actually take on these social terrorists and get this stopped. All of this is being created by the Clintons who encourage all this. It needs to stop.
Of course the precious little dorks that caused the officer to become angry would be guilty of nothing. Do you know any other way to get the little creeps off of your property?
I think he should install land mines in his front lawn – bwahahah
Angering someone is not justification for assaulting or discharging a weapon. If it was, we'd all be in big trouble,
It looked more like a serious physical threat given the number of young aggressive punks – not just "angering him".
He identified himself as a cop because the teens were debating if he was, they clearly were surrounding and then attacked him. YES he had every right to discharge his weapon and if he choose to take out the aggressive ones. He showed a lot of restraint being outnumber 15 to one.
Perhaps a stack of job applications to disperse them more quickly?
Have the lawn sprinklers go on during the time the kids are walking home from school.
Or better yet, turn on the lawn sprinklers on from inside the house as the kids are on the lawn.
Should have been a live fire exercise. Cops need to start shooting these filthy animals and get them off the streets.
And the courts will let them go with a less than stern lecture. The courts need to start giving these thugs stiff sentences for the destruction they cause. Right now, no one is held accountable for the cars and businesses that have been destroyed in their riots.
Culling the herd here and there should be allowed. These are human filth with no regard for their country.
The US Army is starting to be geared towards mega-city operations. I'll let you figure out what that implies.
I graduated from school at Loara High in Anaheim. You'd be hard-pressed to find a kid that's not a 3rd worlder there now. They have the mindset of La Raza and gangs. if they love making garbage, there's a country south of the USA where they'd fit right in.
Those who are, (and I say this lightly) considered adults, should be made to pay for the repairs of any damage they caused, and for the teens, their parents should be made to pay for the damages mad to any or all structures.
This is so sick and tired of this lawless progressive filth..
America, you let this happen to yourself. You let these liberals run your towns, cities and countries and this is the outcome of it. No respect to the law, no respect to parents and nobody. Just me me me. Disgrace.
Thank God to Trump because usa would become a 3rd world sewer.
We need someone like Putin here and clean up this mess
The kids in this video have lost respect and now the adults are enforcing it.
As my wife said if that was our kid he would have been put on restriction and apologize face to face.
No respect for other people's property,
Parents teach your children better, this is so wrong.
Brad Izzo
How many of these "teens" are DACA "dreamers I wonder? The DACA "children" are actually 16 to 31 years old – hardly children!!!!
Deport these filthy illegals ASAP. These filthy "dreamers" are everyone else's nightmare.
Rioters need to be shot on the spot.
Lay down the law, DISCIPLINE is necessary
Don't want problems? Don't walk on other people's lawns.
Hopefully President Trump will be told about this. No doubt some of the gang & protesters had so called "dreamers" in it. Send every illegal back President Trump & Attorney General Sessions. I do not care how much tax money is spent. We have to enforce our laws as strict as possible without mercy so it sends a message to the parasites of the world.
More reason Mexifornia/Calexico needs to be it's own country. This officer fired a warning shot, and he was attacked and assaulted, blind sided by one of the teen cowards. He was justified in using the minimum force to stop the situation, and protect himself. I was in fear of imminent bodily harm, or death, for him a that moment that little thug ran into him, trying to knock him down.
The officer used minimum force, only escalating when he was 1st violently assaulted and the escalation of violent on him. The officer used MINIMUM force to stop the incident. Everyone goes home, or to jail, nobody hurt or killed of this. I really hope the officer gets no punishment, as he does not deserve it. From the cell phone video it is very clear, he had every right to be in fear of imminent bodily harm or death.
Just here to remind you a cop fired his weapon in range of a dozen teens. Thanks!
Just here to remind you NATHANIEL that this CITIZEN (he was not acting as a cop and not on duty) was being attacked at the time he fired his gun and he fired it into the bushes not at any of the teens. If he had shot any of the teens attacking him he would have had a right to do so
I'm not willing to live in a society that allows ANYONE to kill and get away with it.
These cowardly little bed wetting, thumb sucking snowflakes are just dweeby pr!cks with nothing better to do…
Put a fence around California, take out all the cops and ya'll have at it.
This is what you get when an Alinsky president promotes violence and rioting as "protesting". Arrest all rioters.
They are the Democrats!
In my opinion he didn't shoot enough of them.
They assault someone on his own property, and want to cry that he pulled a gun in self defense? He had every right to shoot those kids dead. Come on my property and assault me, and see how long it takes to die.
Still waiting on the White House to hit the green light so the taking out the trash in America can begin….
This is what you get with Democrats, Civil Disobedience, riots, … It is the degeneration of the country.
I wonder what the response would have been if this was a bunch of white, conservative tea partiers on the lawn of a black man who pulled a gun because he felt threatened? Makes you wonder…
Vandalized his House? The impending Civil War will teach these Violent Liberal Punks to behave. America's Citizen's have had enough.
The POS cop escalated the situation to the point he discharged his weapon and jeopardized the lives of several minors. He dragged this 13 year old kid around for no reason. I hope he is fired and charged. If not, I hope there the community responses accordingly, if you know what I mean. It is just a matter of time before he kills an unarmed person, possible a kid.
24 arrested sounds like a good start.
Why does MSM always take the side of the thugs and call them peaceful protests? Vandalism is not a part of a peaceful protest FYI.
If all of these kids were European Americans do you think this would have escalated as it did? Watch the video when, I assume, the 15 year old homey walks up to the officer and takes a swing at him. Then another kid tackles him and pushes him over a row of bushes in an attempt to free the kid he was holding. When it got to that point I do not see anything that I would have done differently. The COP was probably fearing for his life at that point and was correct in pulling out his gun to protect himself. I also think that the gun going off was an accident since he wasn't pointing it at anyone. This lawlessness is a direct result of the Obama Administration being soft on crime, for 8 years, and these little idiots think that they don't have to respect authority or the law. Pathetic.
"There Goes The Neighborhood." Coming to a town near you.
These kids are animals, feral animals.
Here is the wiki page for the cop, apparently. He lives down the street from the shooting location.
Round them up and put them all into a Prison south of the US border.
I'm getting so damn sick of the MSM portraying good people as bad, and bad people as good. There is right and wrong in this world, and the media is trying its hardest to change people's perceptions about this and normalize bad behavior.
It's what happens when you allow your country to be invaded by 3rd World savages. Leftists mistakenly believe that the only difference between the murdering savages to our the south and Americans is geography. They do not recognize the genetic fact that the DNA of the 3rd World barbarians is not like ours. It's akin to driving a freight train loaded with man-eating lions to the city station, throwing open the boxcar doors, and expecting the change of location to miraculously tame the lions.
We should have never taken the batons away from the cops.
These vagrant miscreants would think twice if they knew they were risking a cracked skull.
Just heads up to the police, if you kill a bunch of these Mexican thugs I'll vote not-guilty if I'm on the jury.
I was stunned yesterday, when the reporter gave the street name………so today you have created more anarchy and you get another day of NEWS to report it, I guess that's a win, win for you!!!!
They need to take his badge away pronto! He should not have acted the way he did. Sad! https://www.everipedia.com/kevin-j-ferguson-police-officer/
Mexicans taking over American neighborhoods by force. It's time to start shooting.
It's sad that a misunderstanding can turn into a confrontation that then becomes a police issue. There are plenty of times the officer is in the right and plenty of times they are not, but we have become too eager for "justice" to take a breath and see if the target is fair.
Having said that, I really believe if there was both more police accountability and less media stirring the pot of mistrust, there would be a LOT less of this.
Hispanics and in this case Mexicans are from a violent ignorant and lawless culture where less than 5% of crimes are prosecuted ..where there is no death penalty or even life in prison…judges are murdered journalists are murdered mayors and attorney generals as well…so this is what the left and weak White men and gullible White women have allowed to ifect our country and culture and must be cut out like a cancer
He should have shot the one that hit him dead.
These filthy illegals need to be deported ASAP. "Dreamers" are a living nightmare.
Maybe these kids should have stayed off his lawn.
Seriously, the kid in the video was being a little brat. And guess who comes to defend him: his entire tribe.
The cop should have shot every single on of them in the head. A young criminal is a criminal, a group of young criminals is criminal gang.
Normally I side with the police, but not in this case. The off duty police officer started the problem by cursing a female child. The 13 year old called him on it. The video does NOT show the 13 year old threating the off duty officer. It does show the off duty officer "kidnapping" the child by laying hands on him and forcing him to move from one area to another. Has the police officer been arrested?? As for the vandalism of the homes, that was wrong. The parents of the 13 year old should have pressed charges.
"Anti-racists" say there's a RACE problem. They say it'll be solved when non-Whites pour into ALL & ONLY White nations and "assimilate" to get a brown mixture.
They say only White nations have this RACE problem; they say non-White nations are fine.
If I object to my own genocide these "anti-racists" say I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they're anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
Some "fine" latino immigrants…no doubt!
What we have here are some more illegals getting criminal records, and heading south. But they are lucky. In a stand your ground state the little DACA children would be dead.
walking across his lawn dont mean he should threaten the teens with a gun, the protestors should burn the house down, sick of these people think the country belong to them
punk ass teens need know when to shut their mouths and move on, they have no respect and think they can do whatever they want whenever they want. if he had not discharged his weapon they would have been on him like a pack of wolves.
Comment thread full of absolute Nazi filth dying to harm kids because they are non-white and "disrespectful" to a man who CURSED OUT an adolescent girl then roughed up a kid who had the guts to stand up to him about it.
Shooting a gun surrounded by kids could easily lead to someone getting shot and he lucked out that wasn't the case.
As a Police Officer of 27 years and currently in the profession, this action by this off duty officer is absolutely 100% UNJUSTIFIED. I do not know exactly what led up to the incident BUT watching the video for the first 2 minutes this 13 year old was not fighting with him or anything but rather the officer had a tight grasp on the 13 year old as they moved around the yard. Then a couple of his "Buddies" tried to get him loose. At this point the officer pulls a gun and fires. Are you kidding me?
If this officer "feared for his life" at a situation like this that he pulled his weapon, then this is a man that should NOT be on the streets protecting citizens!
Gary S. posted, "I do not know exactly what led up to the incident… " Exactly Gary, you do not know anything, so STFU. If you are a cop, which I seriously doubt, you should not be. All real cop know darn well you can not judge a situation by watching a short section of edited video posted by friends of that disrespectful punk kid. The Anaheim officers who were actually on scene, who actually conducted an in depth investigation, and who actually interviewed everyone involved determined who the criminals were and arrested them. And you can be sure that decision was made at the highest level of the Anaheim Police Department.
Facts: 1. This is not the first time these teenagers done this.
2. The of duty cop also complained to PD before
3. In the video, you can clearly hear that the off duty cop told the 13 yrs boy that he wanted to talk to him face to face.
4. As you can see a group of teenagers were trying to surround the off duty cop and he was trying to avoid them; as well as making sure no one attacking him from behind(I am sure this is part of his training.)
5. Also, there was another teenager moving toward the off duty officer in a very aggressive way; And that forced the officer to pull out his gun. Obviously, this is self defense.
Image that the officer was attacked by these teenagers, and if one of them got his gun; the outcome will be or could be totally different. There could have someone dying and one or more of these kids could end up in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. As a parent, I think this is a good lesson for these teenagers and a great lesson for others to learn; Whether values or attitudes. The parents of the 13 yrs old teenager should know their child better. I rather having them going to juvenile hall, learn from their mistakes than being locked up in jail for years. People shouldn't using this incident as a racist excuse to protest, disturb or vandalize people's personal properties.
The video reporting says the teens pushed the officer into the bushes….. did you see the footage? Report this story accurately please.
I'm very disturbed that Anaheim Mayor spoke out too soon, rushing to judgement against this altercations against the police officer judgement which he was trained to do in any given situation when it comes to fear and safety for his life with all those thugs punching, knocking him down and then the thug wearing a wine sweatshirt, jump the hedge, putting his left hand in his back pocket, revealing it was not a cell phone but, a small pocket knife or a weapon in his hand, which he looked like he was going pull out to assault the officer from behind. These aren't children when they make a choice to attack the officer at the same time, they made a conscious choice and decision and acted on it as a thug, they show no fear as they acted out in violence toward a grownup. The law enforcement stand up and put their life on the line for you Mayor, and yet, your words, supported these thugs and encourage these thug protestors with the same mentality to become violent, spray paint, break windows, force our officers to be endangered by these thugs that call themselves victims and entitlement to deface and destroy a neighborhood, that obviously these people have done nothing to correct, or teach their teenagers to show respect for others property. These thugs that seem to think their entitled to this violence , lets see that,you Mayor, make them accountable and responsible , and not just slap them on the hands, so they can repeat their behavior with others, but respect rights of others and respect the law. Next time, they should call 911, and leave the scene not participate in violence. A conscious desion and action cannot be denied.
I can not believe all the hatred being voiced ! Two wrongs do not make a right. The teens were wrong to walk on his grass/yard but his actions were not justified, he way overreacted. How much damage was actually done to his grass ? none. What actions would I be justified to take against someone who lets his dog poop in my yard/grass ? GET REAL PEOPLE ! Adults especially Police Officers should demonstrate much better judgement. He should have waited for the on duty cops to show up.
Well the jerk in question has been identified, https://snarkypenguin.wordpress.com/2017/02/24/a-question-for-kevin-j-ferguson-of-1603-w-palais-rd-anaheim-ca-was-it-worth-it/ lets hope he enjoys his notoriety.
I'm a Republican, I watched the video, and I think that officer needs to be fired and needs psychiatric treatment. He is obviously unbalanced if he is going to detain, unlawfully I might add, a 13 year old CHILD for walking on his lawn. The video is clear. The other kids were trying to defend the child who was being attacked by this off duty officer. Then to make matters worse, instead of walking away and dealing with this in an official capacity by calling his fellow officers, he pulls a gun and starts shooting. And you guys are ok with this?? Really? If that was my child, I would be a millionaire in no time at all……
Thank you Heather! A voice of reason amid all the hatred!
Another Nazi cop goes bananas. 13 year old child threatens to sue cop. cop attacks child then fires weapon while holding terrified unarmed child. Two shots were fired at terrified children by Nazi cop. Anyone else other than a well protected Nazi cop would be charged with 8 counts of attempted murder as 8 children were in the area where the weapon was illegally fired. Nazi cop will go Scott free as judges are in bed with the cops and other cops will refuse to file charges against the Nazi cop.
Hey Nazis, your hero has been outed so you can now go worship him in person, https://snarkypenguin.wordpress.com/2017/02/24/a-question-for-kevin-j-ferguson-of-1603-w-palais-rd-anaheim-ca-was-it-worth-it/
Maybe this wouldn't have escalated to this point if the cop hadn't committed three different crimes? Holding the boy (assault), dragging him onto his property (kidnapping/false imprisonment). Seems to me like the only criminal is the cop. You shouldn't be able to be law enforcement unless you actually know the law…
Growing up I Santa Ana and not a gang member, I had 3 cops make me sit on the sidewalk and kick me on my back because I couldn't hold my arms up for as long as they were telling me to. I've never been so angry at anyone before. I bet it's the same story with many kids today.
Whose property? Euro-Americans are the Real Illegal Aliens. Mexicans are native Americans, not aliens. Mexico is a very large Indian reservation in the American apartheid system created by Euro-Americans. Euro-Americans in the United States who have the same fears as White people in South Africa before the apartheid wall fell. They fear being overrun by 100 million brown people. Like apartheid South Africa, the brown people from the Mexican reservation are allowed to come in temporarily and do menial work, but must return to their reservations when the work is done. They both must have a pass to be off their reservation. TRUMP's WALL is all about control of indigenous brown people. (Written by Brown Continent, June 9, 2006

Conservatory Garden
The Conservatory Garden is Central Park's six-acre formal garden. It is divided into three smaller gardens, each with a distinct style: Italian, French, and English. The Garden's main entrance is through the Vanderbilt Gate, on Fifth Avenue between 104th and 105th Streets. This magnificent iron gate, made in Paris in 1894, originally stood before the Vanderbilt mansion at Fifth Avenue and 58th Street.
The Italianate center garden is composed of a large lawn surrounded by yew hedges and is bordered by two exquisite allées of spring-blooming pink and white crabapple trees. A 12-foot high jet fountain plays on the western end of the lawn, backed by tiered hedges and stairs that lead up to a wisteria pergola. On the walkway under the pergola are medallions inscribed with the names of the original 13 states.
The northern, French-style garden showcases parterres of germander and spectacular seasonal displays of spring tulips, and Korean chrysanthemums in autumn, all within an ellipse of Japanese holly. In the center is the charming Three Dancing Maidens fountain by German sculptor, Walter Schott. To the south is the very intimate English-style garden. There are five mixed borders of trees, shrubs and perennial plants, and five seasonal beds featuring spring bulbs that are followed by annual flower displays. A slope of woodland plants lines the western edge of this garden. At the center is sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnoh's lovely Frances Hodgson Burnett Memorial Fountain, a tribute to the author of the children's book, The Secret Garden. The children — a girl and a boy, said to depict Mary and Dickon, the main characters from the classic — stand at one end of a small water lily pool.
The Conservatory Garden is an officially designated Quiet Zone and offers a calm and colorful setting for a leisurely stroll, and intimate wedding, or an escape with a good book.
For many years the garden was tended by volunteers from the Garden Club of America and in 1983 it was restored by the Central Park Conservancy.

OK. I wouldn't be a responsible recruiter, blogger, writer and networker if I didn't tell you the truth. I have been and continue to be a huge advocate of social networking and using sites like Linked In to build your professional brand and network. But I think it's getting a wee bit out of hand now. Let me explain.
Yes, the primary purpose of those sites is to get to know people and make lasting connections. However, I have read one too many articles and heard far too many "experts" tell people to get on and use it to find a job. "Don't be afraid to seek out people in companies you want to work in and let them know you're looking for a job or ask for an introduction to a hiring manager within the company". Ordinarily I would agree with that, but with a caveat. Anyone who has read anything I've written knows that I tell people build relationships and get to know people. Yes, you should be bold and reach out to people you don't know. But there is an etiquette to it. Make an effort to get to know the person and build some sort of relationship with them. I cannot tell you how many times I've gotten an email asking to introduce someone to one of my contacts. I don't have a problem making connections, but if I have never communicated with you or hadn't heard from you since we initially connected, do not ask me to refer you. See, it's a credibility issue with me. My name and reputation mean everything to me. Anyone I recommend is someone I know in some capacity. If I don't know you from Eve, how can I introduce you to someone not knowing what you bring to the table?
Think about it. Would you refer someone you don't know? If things went wrong, that could damage not only your reputation, but also your relationship. One time I passed along an introduction figuring I would help this person out because they needed a job. I didn't know her, but she sent an email introducing herself to let me know she was on the market. I made the introduction and forgot to tell my contact I did not know her personally. The person went on to badger my contact. She called her repeatedly and sent email after email asking for an interview. My contact said she told her she didn't have anything at the time but to watch the website. She also told her she'd be in touch if something came up. The woman would call her every time she saw a new opening on the company website. I was so embarrassed and had to work overtime to mend my damaged relationship. Well, I generally applaud initiative. But stalking is another issue altogether and I cannot condone that.
I think writers have been very irresponsible to tell readers to go ahead and reach out to people without giving them the proper etiquette lesson that goes along with that advice. I truly hope that you all do go out and network, you're supposed to, otherwise how would you build your network. But please be responsible about it. Don't go in there reaching out to folks you never met asking for introductions or worse, making your initial contact about getting a job. I am not heartless. But I am a realist. Get to know the people you reach out to. Ask to speak with them via phone and chat a little about yourself. Don't go into interview mode or ask to send your resume. What you can do is talk about your expertise, and casually mention that you may be interested in hearing about the right opportunities. As them if they mind if you keep in touch with them periodically. Remain in touch by sending relevant articles, events and books. A follow up email every now and then is welcomed by most people. Sending an email every week, well, is stalking.
So "Go Ahead, Talk to Strangers", but do it responsibly. Be courteous and respectful. If you manage your network with class, common sense and respect I promise that you will benefit from leads because you took the time to nurture the relationships. Remember, it's give and take.
Til next time.

The Skywalk is a big transparent viewing bridge that allows you to stand 4000 ft above the foot of the Gorge for probably the most thrilling views you will see anywhere.
Touring The South Rim
When you purchase a South Rim helicopter tour, you'll visit the chopper immediately after you arrive out of your plane ride from Vegas. You are able to select from 1 of 2 tours. There's a brief tour that provides you half an hour of flight time, along with a longer one which can last for 50 minutes. The half hour tour flies in the South Rim to its northern border Rim after which circles back. The more tour would go to its northern border Rim too, it includes an additional visit to the eastern boundary from the park. You'll be able to see nearly 75 % from the entire Park whenever you go ahead and take longer tour. The more tour costs a bit more, but it's worthwhile because you're able to see a lot more from the park.
Helicopters can't land within the Gorge in the South Rim, but you can include a bus tour or Jeep tour for your package if you wish to possess a ground experience there.
Gorge Plane Tours
Tour airplanes fly towards the West Rim or even the South Rim. An plane tour is much more affordable than the usual helicopter tour, so it's the ideal choice if you have a good vacation budget. You may still add-on other adventures, for example you are able to take an plane towards the West Rim after which ride a helicopter towards the Gorge floor. The plane around the South Rim cover a sizable area of the park, actually, they fly across the same flight path because the longer helicopter tour.
One difference backward and forward kinds of air tours is the fact that airplanes have to fly in a greater altitude than helicopters, and anther important difference would be that the airplanes can transport more and more people on every tour. The airplanes carry 19 at any given time, therefore if you are flying with multiple people, an plane tour is most likely the best option. However, if excellent viewing is an essential factor for you, then you will want to book a helicopter tour because the choppers fly less than planes and they've bigger viewing home windows. Whenever you book a luxurious helicopter tour, you'll fly with an EcoStar chopper which has a breathtaking wraparound car windows and 6 seats arranged stadium style for unobstructed views. These choppers are created particularly for sightseeing and they're quieter and provide an easier ride.
In Conclusion

Phil Mickelson wants a piece of the Padres and he comes prepared.
Jackets notwithstanding, Lefty has plenty of green.
In disclosing his decision to align himself with the O'Malley family's pursuit of the local baseball franchise Monday, San Diego's golf mogul made it clear he was bringing his cash as well as his cachet.
"A lot of my own money," he said. "And given the price tag, it's going to be a significant amount."
John Moores has yet to name a price for controlling interest in his last-place ballclub, but expectations are that the $2.1 billion sale of the Dodgers has lifted all boats, even those that appear to have capsized.
Though the endorsement of Tony Gwynn clearly enhances the bid of Hollywood producer Thomas Tull, landing Mickelson brings both street cred and bank cred to the O'Malley family's efforts. What Mickelson describes as a "significant amount," would be staggering to most of us.
Since its annual "Fortunate 50" launched in 2004, Sports Illustrated estimates Mickelson's earnings from prize money, endorsements, etc., to be in excess of $378 million.
Only Tiger Woods has made more money playing golf. Furthermore, SI's estimate of Mickelson's 2011 income ($61,185,933) exceeds the Padres' entire 2012 player payroll.
That doesn't tell you how much Mickelson might be willing to spend to bolster the local ballclub. Here's hoping his wallet is in close proximity to his heart.
"Growing up, the Padres were my team and still are," Mickelson told U-T San Diego on Monday. "I always had a love for the team. But (recently) I just felt disassociated with the organization a little bit as a fan. I just know I didn't identify with the players or have an emotional connection.
"Where I want to get involved is I want to get a personal involvement with the players and the community — personal interaction with fans, more community outreach. I want to create an emotional tie with the players and the community."
The Padres plainly need a better class of player. They need a new owner with the means and the motivation to win back a fan base awash in apathy, submerged by cynicism and drenched in doubt. They need someone who will spend and, equally important, someone they can trust. They need to see a coherent plan and to believe it will be implemented.
They need someone with the convictions and the credibility of a Phil Mickelson or a Tony Gwynn and, preferably, both of them.
"If we were able to get control, (Gwynn) would be the first person we'd want to get involved," Mickelson said. "He's such an icon with the team. Hopefully, it won't be combative."
At least three other groups have expressed interest in purchasing the Padres, and others might still emerge before a deal gets done. Yet the O'Malley and Tull groups have clearly been the most aggressive contenders to date and one or both of them may soon submit a bid for John Moores' controlling interest in the ballclub.
From the outside, it feels as if the process is moving quickly — both Tull and the O'Malley group have reviewed the club's finances and met with key executives at Petco Park — and a baseball source anticipates a sale could be confirmed as early as the quarterly owners meetings in August.
Accordingly, both camps are conscious of making a favorable first impression on the Padres' fan base.
Though he has not yet offered an explanation, Tull is sensitive to the perception that his 1995 tryout with the Atlanta Braves indicated a willingness to cross picket lines during a strike.
Concerned with the appearance of absentee ownership, a spokesman for the O'Malley group stressed Monday that two of its members — Kevin O'Malley and Tom Seidler — were committed to moving their families to San Diego if they should succeed in buying the club.
Operating as Top of the Third, Inc. — a play on baseball roots that now span three generations — Kevin and Brian O'Malley and their cousins Peter and Tom Seidler own the Single-A Visalia Rawhide. They are all grandchildren of Walter O'Malley, who brought the Dodgers to Los Angeles from Brooklyn.
Peter O'Malley, who succeeded his father as the Dodgers owner, is helping to guide the efforts of his sons and nephews, but does not plan to be active in the Padres' operation.
"We were brought together a while ago to discuss the opportunity," Mickelson said. "I've had the opportunity to invest in other sports franchises. And I've turned it down in the past. This was a unique opportunity: Families that had done this before and know how to do it right and want to get involved in the community."
Mickelson missed the opening of Petco Park. He had a previous engagement, an inelastic tee time and, it turned out, a date with fate.
Before the Padres opened their downtown ballpark on April 8, 2004 with a 10-inning triumph over the San Francisco Giants, Mickelson shot an even-par 72 at the converted nursery where Bobby Jones gave golf its Sistine Chapel: Augusta National Golf Club.
It was Thursday of Masters week, the first of four rounds that would unburden Mickelson of the title of Best Player Never To Win A Major. It was the week Lefty got it right.
"I hope so," he said.

Halloweegan Roundup!
Jack-O'-Lantern Bell Peppers. These were one of the original Halloweegan dinners of 2008. That was a special year because it was my first year blogging, it was my first year participating in Vegan MoFo, and it was the first Halloweegan! This often imitated guy could probably be the official Halloweegan mascot:
Meatless Meatloaf Scramble with Mashed Potato Ghosts. These were easy free-form ghosts shaped with a spoon!
A Mashed Potato Ghosts extravaganza! Because one can't have too many mashed potato ghosts. Right?
Nope. One cannot have too many of these guys. This Spooky Dinner post with a gingerbread man shaped meatless meatloaf and mashed potato ghosts comes with a step by step video!
My favorite savory Halloweegan food of all time is the Man-Eating Burger! This post also comes with a step by step video!
Let's have some dessert! Also one of my favorite Halloweegan treats of all time are these Leggy Whoopy Spiders! It also comes with a step by step video that shows how to make those pesky little chocolate legs.
These simple Cats and Bats Sandwich Cookies were so tasty! Shortbread has always been my favorite type of cookie! Meow!
More sandwich cookies! These Spiced Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies are easy to make and so tasty! I forgot all about them until I was looking up previous Halloweegan posts today - I think I'm going to need to make a batch later.
These Strawberries and Cream Ghosties are as simple as it gets! Don't ask me what I was thinking with that neon green background there...
A couple of weeks ago I made these Coconut Whipped Cream Ghosts along with a handy step by step video. You can also make them with buttercream!
That's it! I hope you've enjoyed this round up, and I hope you have a lovely and fun (and safe!) Halloween, if you're celebrating! See you next week! :)

No one can top your Halloweegan shenanigans, that's for sure. I could never pick a favorite, but I think I've been influenced by the gingerbread beet-burger guy. I'm going to make either lentil loaf or beet-burgers next time Ms. E comes for dinner, and make hers with cookie cutters. Perhaps she'll be amused enough to try one!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh I hope she likes them! Fun food is so much better than regular food. I used to be a very picky eater, maybe that's why I like to play with my food so much?Delete

"This has opened up a whole new can of worms," Europe's former Ryder Cup captain said. "It's a very dangerous situation we are getting ourselves into and I do hope they can sort this out very, very quickly."
The sport's ruling bodies face one of their most difficult decisions ever in the coming weeks.
The Royal and Ancient Club and United States Golf Association had announced their intentions in November after three of the last five major championships were won by Ernie Els, Webb Simpson and Keegan Bradley using long putters.
But their final decision on whether to impose the ban from 2016 was delayed, probably until next month, to allow for all interested parties to let their feelings be known.
Now they know, with Tour commissioner Tim Finchem revealing that 13 of the 15 members of his Player Advisory Council were not in favour of the ban.
The PGA of America has also stated objections, believing such a move is not in the best interests of the game.
"I thought, as we all did, that the rules of golf were set by the R&A and the USGA. Tim Finchem has obviously thought otherwise," added Montgomerie on Sky Sports.
"Whether the European Tour think that or not has to be debated too.
"I think we should go with what the R&A and USGA feel. Whether the long putter should have been banned 20 years ago or not, it should be banned now.
"We should abide by that. To now go against that and say 'my players aren't going to go by that' then what happens when you come to USGA events or the British Open?
"Does that mean you have to use a different club?
"He's said 'we abide by the rules of golf, but I think we are going to change this one'.
"Does that mean other rules can change as well? We want to play as one under the same rules.
"The R&A and USGA have served the game of golf for a long, long time and long may that continue."
What the PGA Tour has not done yet, however, is say what it will do if the ban is approved.
Finchem said: "I don't know because we have, I think carefully and intentionally, avoided at this point getting into a discussion about that issue.
"We have not even begun that discussion.
"This is a very subjective area. Everybody has an opinion about it and we certainly respect everybody's opinion.
"The PGA of America has concluded that it will hurt the game with certain numbers of amateurs. We agree with that.
"One thing we know for sure on the professional side is the professional game globally is stronger than it's ever been today and that on the heels of having anchoring as part of it for the last 30 or 40 years.
"It certainly hasn't been a negative. You can't point to one negative impact of anchoring."
