Hello, PierrB! Welcome to Wikitravel.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. IBAlex 17:38, 18 January 2013 (EST)
As you already know, many admins that were formerly active here at Wikitravel have left for pastures new in the last year.
Although IBadmins fight a heroic battle against spam, I believe we need more admins from the community.
Would you support my application to be an admin?
I believe I know current polices as well as anyone currently active. --118dot93dot73dot30 02:14, 14 April 2013 (EDT)

Thanks mate for the reply. And yes indeed it's just that some of the districts are misplaced. --Sleepingstar (talk) 16:47, 23 December 2013 (EST)
Re: Search Engine (in Vietnam)[edit]
Thank you for your message. The site linked is really useful and not commercial. It contains all the information updated regarding to trains in Vietnam: different routes, schedules and fares. It will definitely help many travellers, since most of this information cannot be found in english anywhere else. I understand it'd be a bit redundant to post it in the country page as well as in main cities pages, but I was just following the same example as Hyperdia, mentioned in Japan country page and quoted as well in several Japanese cities pages. Basically, Baolau is for Vietnam the same concept as Hyperdia to Japan, so I understand the same rules could apply.

RE: Antigua Guatemala[edit]
Hi PierrB ! Thank you for your message.
I think you made a little mistake there. I have not remove or replaced the Hostal you are referring to, or any other. Perhaps you have clicked on the wrong user. My contributions so far are related to grammar and small details only. I would appreciate your confirmation on this, for I would not like to be consider as a bad contributor on this great community. Many thanks ! Mike Toulsen (talk) 10:41, 5 May 2014 (EST)
Updating Where to Eat and Stay at[edit]
Hi PierrB ! I understand that you are one of the moderators for the Guatemala section. I wanted to ask you if I could (or perhaps your self) update some of the biz lists for Guatemala and Antigua Guatemala. I noticed that a couple of links should be updated, two restaurants in Antigua and one Hotel are no longer in business. How can this data be updated? Many thanks ! Mike Toulsen (talk) 09:25, 7 May 2014 (EST)
Hi Pierre - i had trouble converting some Get Out entries in the Batu page into listings [initially those entries were from the "See" section]. Would you help me please? merci beaucoup :) ... i hope my spelling was right :D
Batu and guide articles[edit]
Hi Pierre - what do you think needs to be added to make Batu a guide article, apart from dividing the hotels and restaurants into categories such as "budget, mid-range, splurge"? merci beaucoup :) --Siung99 (talk) 00:04, 4 September 2014 (EDT)
sounds good. merci beaucoup :) --Siung99 (talk) 08:26, 4 September 2014 (EDT)
No external links for AC?[edit]
I noticed you removed an edit I made for Angeles City, which was replacing a link to a defunct site, with one that has up to date information. Why no linking to external sites? The list of bars, restaurants and hotels on here is pretty limited (12 bars, 3 of which are in Diamond Subdivision, which is not in the main tourist area; while there are over 100 bars of interest to tourists). The newer site has many more places and would make a good companion to Wikitravel page. Perhaps it should be listed in a different place on the page? Thanks for your consideration.
Indeed, so far, the sections you mention are limited, but the all thing is about contributing; either I am a tourist, in AC for business or a local, anyway I tried a nice place, so I'll add a Listing to AC page trying to give some inputs about it. Of course it takes more time, especially for places that don't receive billions of visitors every year, but it's part of the game! And at least, it personalized and definitely not sponsored. Hope this makes more sense... And if one day you feel up to add a new listing, either Diamond Subdivision or not, please go for it!
Best regards, PierrB (talk) 01:46, 10 September 2014 (EDT)
Ah ok, I understand. Thanks for explaining. Take care.. —The preceding comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs)
Hong Kong[edit]
How did my edits mess up the page? I removed duplicative info and combined duplicative sections.
OK I will revert my edits but I will fix the district section to make it more concise.......
Seems like a useful new idea for travellers and I am unaware of any policy prohibiting its inclusion in an "Eat" section so I've reversed your deletion on the San Francisco page as an experiment.
It shouldn't appear on multiple pages, though and the question is which page is the most appropriate... --Ttcf (talk) 22:41, 28 October 2014 (EDT)
for catching my typo! --Ttcf (talk) 00:04, 6 November 2014 (EST)

My parents just adopted an 11 week old maltipoo pup, who is super cute but not overly playful, as I would expect most puppies to be. He'll play a little bit but very gently and then plop down and sometimes fall to sleep. It seems as though he would rather lounge then play, is this normal for an 11 week old puppy of any breed, let alone a maltipoo? It's fine if he does wanna be mellow, as my parents are older, but I just want to be sure as they just lost their last rescue after he was hit by a car, so I don't want anything to be wrong with this little fellow. Also, we went for the initial vet visit and the vet says he's pretty healthy aside from a minor skin irritation from being left in a yard somewhere flea-ridden - he is on antibiotics, so my first thought is possibly that he is a little under the weather but just want to be sure. Any insight would be much appreciated.
thanks very much

I have a potted Jade plant in every room of the beach bungalow to promote good luck, prosperity, abundance and well-being. There is a huge one to greet visitors when they come through the front door and another jade close to my vegetable garden for abundance. Jade, a succulent plant is so easy to care for, just water Jade once every two weeks and prune when it becomes top-heavy. Use the pruned pieces as new starter pants by placing the cut piece in soil and in about week or so it will root.

Norte Dame wins NCAA men's soccer titleThe Associated Press | December 16,2013AP Photo
Notre Dame goalie Patrick Wall makes a save during the second half of Sundays NCAA Division I mens soccer title match against Maryland in Chester, Pa.CHESTER, Pa. Confetti rained down, the Notre Dame fight song Victory March blasted over the loudspeakers and everyone on the Fighting Irishs soccer team ran to one side of the field to celebrate.
For the first time in the schools proud athletic history, Notre Dame was on top of the mens college soccer world.
Led by goals from Andrew OMalley and Leon Brown, and another big game from College Cup co-Most Outstanding Player Harrison Shipp, Notre Dame won its first mens soccer title with a 2-1 victory over Maryland on Sunday at PPL Park. The Fighting Irish finished the season 17-1-6.
Were all smiling big smiles, said 68-year-old coach Bobby Clark, who won his first title in 27 years coaching at Dartmouth, Stanford and Notre Dame.
Patrick Mullins, the nations leading scorer, scored for Maryland (17-4-5). The Terrapins were trying to win their fourth national championship and third under coach Sasho Cirovski.
They are worthy winners and Im genuinely happy for Bobby for all hes done for college soccer, Cirovski said. I hope he enjoys this one. At Maryland, we shoot for the stars every year. We aim high. And when you aim that high and when you dont reach it, you still end up at the moon, which is higher than most people.
Shipp, a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy as the nations best player, set up OMalleys winning goal with a perfectly placed free kick in the 60th minute. OMalley leaped for Shipps kick and directed a header past goalkeeper Zack Steffens outstretched arms.
Coming into Sundays title game, OMalley, a senior defender, had scored just twice in his collegiate career and, according to Clark, he missed a couple of chances throughout the season.
But he didnt miss when it counted.
The goal itself was really put on a silver platter for me, OMalley said. It would have been tough for me to screw it up, I suppose. Harry just played a beautiful ball and all I needed to do was redirect it to the back post.
OMalley, from nearby West Chester, said it was extra special to score the championship-deciding goal in front of many of his family and friends, who made the short commute to watch him play at PPL Park.
I kind of jokingly said after the game but Im a little bit serious that people think Im good now, OMalley said. So, hopefully, Ill just ride that.
Brown tied it at 1 in the 40th minute with a tough-angle shot. He entered the game as a reserve when Vince Cicciarelli was forced to leave when he broke his collarbone in the 10th minute.
Luke Mishu and Nick Besler were both credited with assists after Besler flicked on a long Mishu throw-in right to the foot of Brown, who slid a tough-angle shot past Steffen.
Mullins, Marylands own Hermann Trophy finalist, opened the scoring for the Terrapins in the 35th minute.
Moments earlier, Mullins thought a penalty kick was warranted when a volley from Alex Shinksy from cleared off the goal line by what looked to be the arm of Notre Dames Patrick Hodan. But Hodan was not called for the hand ball and then Mullins used his own hand to bring the ball down and deposit a shot past goalkeeper Patrick Wall.
In the heat of the moment, I hit it down with my hand and, like any good forward, I hit it in the net, Mullins said. Thats not who I am and Im very disappointed in how that play resulted. ... I will regret that one for the rest of my life.
Mullins, who shared College Cup Most Outstanding Player honors with Shipp, had 19 goals this season and finished his college career with 47, second in program history.
But for Cirovski, it was the character Mullins displayed in admitting to an intentional hand ball that shows what MLS teams will be getting when the Maryland senior is likely selected as one of the top picks in next months draft.
When I build my stadium, Im going to bronze a statue with him out front, Cirovski said. Hes made from the best stuff on earth. It affected him. It affected him a lot. ... His conscience was hurting.
For Shipp who finished his senior season with 12 goals and 11 assists, including three in the College Cup it was not only gratifying to win a national title but to do so for Clark.
I think this program has known for the last few years that were headed in the right direction, Shipp said. We had a great regular season (last year) but I think we kind of realized that it was time for this program to take the next step. And we thought the only logical place to do that was to reach the final four and win a national championship.
And to do it for this guy our coach is amazing. Hes probably the most underappreciated college soccer coach in the country.
NOTES: The Besler family has won two major soccer titles in the past week. Beslers brother, Matt, a U.S. national team defender, won the MLS Cup with Sporting Kansas City last Saturday. ... In Mullins four years at Maryland, the Terrapins have lost only two games in which he scored. ... In the semifinals Friday, Notre Dame beat New Mexico 2-0, and Maryland topped Virginia 2-1. ... In addition to Shipp and Mullins, Patrick Hodan (Notre Dame), Besler, OMalley, Grant Van De Casteele (Notre Dame), Tsubasa Endoh (Maryland), Steffen, Jordan Allen (Virginia), Darius Madison (Virginia) and Michael Calderon (New Mexico) were selected to the College Cup All-Tournament Team.MORE IN Wire SportsDETROIT Scott Chandler capped an emotionally draining week with a celebration for the folks...

A federal jury convicted a Fort Wayne man this week of three counts related to drug trafficking and ordered the forfeiture of the firearm seized at the time of his arrest.
In 2011, Shaft Superman Jones was nabbed by Fort Wayne police and federal agents as he pulled out of the exit of a north-side carwash.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Fort Wayne on three counts: attempting to possess with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, and carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
When officers and agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency arrested Jones, they found an M4 assault rifle inside his Cadillac Escalade, along with four fully loaded magazines and a night-vision scope.
They also found a lot of cash, in multiple bags and containers, which Jones brought with him to buy about 20 kilograms of cocaine, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
Convicted after a weeklong trial, Jones awaits sentencing in the case. No date has been set, according to court records.

Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith supports cornerback Charles Tillman's decision to miss Sunday night's game if his wife ends up going into labor on Sunday. "It's family first," Smith said, per the Chicago Sun-Times. "If there is something you feel like you need to do for your family always do that. How we look at it is like an injury. If a player can't go, it's next guy up. We'll keep going." Tillman believes his family should come first. "At the end of the day, [family is] all that you have," Tillman said later after practice. "This game is important to me, but after what we went through with my middle child Tiana (who was diagnosed with a rare heart disease), to me football is second. "It'll always be second or third in my life. That was a great lesson learned, to teach me that family — when I'm done playing football — my family will always be there for me." Tillman plans on playing on Sunday night if his daughter is born in the morning. "Yeah, I'll be there," he said. Tillman's teammates support him as well. "It's take care of your family. We understand how things are run around here," receiver Brandon Marshall said. "This is a special group. Coach Smith is a special guy, definitely in how he runs things, and … you take on the character of your leader. That's what he preaches — family comes first." I've said this before and I'll say this again, I have no problems with Tillman putting his family first. I think more players need to follow suit. var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = 'http://widget.crowdignite.com/widgets/27484?_ci_wid=_CI_widget_'+_CI.counter; script.async = true; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(script, ref); })(); sr_adspace_id = 1000005525107; sr_adspace_width = 300; sr_adspace_height = 250; sr_ad_new_window = true; sr_adspace_type = "graphic";

Sounders assistant Schmetzer still waiting for a shot to be head coach
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Seattle's Chad Marshall named MLS defender of the year NEW - 11/25, 08:47 AM
TUKWILA — Major League Soccer teams have combined to make more than 50 coaching changes since Sounders FC joined the league in 2009, and assistant coach Brian Schmetzer has been in the mix on a couple.
One came when he interviewed with Montreal before the Impact's entry to MLS in 2012, though the job ultimately went to Jesse Marsch. Another came this offseason when he interviewed with FC Dallas, but once again, Schmetzer was passed over, in favor of Oscar Pareja.
0 for 2.
So is the Seattle native, a former Coach of the Year and two-time champion with the lower-league Sounders, starting to get frustrated or impatient?
"No," Schmetzer said heading into his sixth season as the Sounders' top assistant. "I have a really good job. It's a great organization. (Adrian Hanauer, general manager and part owner) has been a very, very, very good boss to me. 'Impatient' wouldn't be the word I'd use."
One reason to stay hopeful is the league's growth, with commissioner Don Garber planning to add five franchises by 2020. New York City FC and Orlando City already have coaches in place before arriving next year, but "there are going to be teams and there are going to be opportunities," Schmetzer said. "I was just always looking for the right one."
Dallas had looked to be a perfect fit. Schmetzer has a longstanding relationship with technical director Fernando Clavijo and star defender George John, a Shoreline native. The turnstile-like state of coaching security in MLS, though, indicates there will be more possibilities to come.
Said Schmetzer: "I can afford to be selective."
Caskey traded to D.C.
The Sounders have traded Alex Caskey to D.C. United for a third-round draft pick in 2016. The departure was expected after the versatile midfielder wasn't at practice Monday.
Caskey, 25, played 30 games the past two seasons in Seattle, recording one goal and four assists. A competitive battle for roster spots in midfield played into the move, according to coach Sigi Schmid.
"We were going to have to make some decisions and probably cut somebody or waive somebody, so for him it's a good opportunity and for us it gives us an opportunity with a draft pick down the line," Schmid said.
• All indications are the U.S. men's national team will play against Ukraine in Cyprus on Wednesday despite reports out of Ukraine that the game was canceled. So what does Schmid want to see from Clint Dempsey before his return to the Sounders? "Don't get hurt," the coach said with a laugh. "That's all I want to see."
• A referee work stoppage is in danger of affecting opening weekend, according to reports from The Washington Post and ESPN.com. Commissioner Don Garber said in a Q&A with fans and media Tuesday that the league has a contingency plans in place.

Using Ruthenium To Dissolve Nanotubes
A lab at Rice University has stepped forward with an efficient method to disperse nanotubes in a way that preserves their unique properties -- and adds more.
The new technique allows inorganic metal complexes with different functionalities to remain in close contact with single-walled carbon nanotubes while keeping them separated in a solution.
That separation is critical to manufacturers who want to spin fiber from nanotubes, or mix them into composite materials for strength or to take advantage of their electrical properties. For starters, the ability to functionalize the nanotubes at the same time may advance imaging sensors, catalysis and solar-activated hydrogen fuel cells.
Better yet, a batch of nanotubes can apparently stay dispersed in water for weeks on end.
Keeping carbon nanotubes from clumping in aqueous solutions and combining them with molecules that add novel abilities have been flies in the ointment for scientists exploring the use of these highly versatile materials.
They've tried attaching organic molecules to the nanotubes' surfaces to add functionality as well as solubility. But while these techniques can separate nanotubes from one another, they take a toll on the nanotubes' electronic, thermal and mechanical properties.
Angel Marti, a Rice assistant professor of chemistry and bioengineering and a Norman Hackerman-Welch Young Investigator, and his students reported this month in the Royal Society of Chemistry journal Chemical Communications that ruthenium polypyridyl complexes are highly effective at dispersing nanotubes in water efficiently and for long periods. Ruthenium is a rare metallic element.
One key is having just the right molecule for the job. Marti and his team created ruthenium complexes by combining the element with ligands, stable molecules that bind to metal ions. The resulting molecular complex is part hydrophobic (the ligands) and part hydrophilic (the ruthenium). The ligands strongly bind to nanotubes while the attached ruthenium molecules interact with water to maintain the tubes in solution and keep them apart from one another.
Another key turned out to be moderation.
Originally, Marti said, he and co-authors Disha Jain and Avishek Saha weren't out to solve a problem that has boggled chemists for decades, but their willingness to "do something crazy" paid off big-time. Jain is a former postdoctoral researcher in Martis lab, and Saha is a graduate student.
The researchers were eyeing ruthenium complexes as part of a study to track amyloid deposits associated with Alzheimer's disease. "We started to wonder what would happen if we modified the metal complex so it could bind to a nanotube," Marti said. "That would provide solubility, individualization, dispersion and functionality."
It did, but not at first. "Avishek put this together with purified single-walled carbon nanotubes (created via Rice's HiPco process) and sonicated. Absolutely nothing happened. The nanotubes didn't get into solution -- they just clumped at the bottom.
"That was very weird, but that's how science works -- some things you think are good ideas never work."
Saha removed the liquid and left the clumped nanotubes at the bottom of the centrifuge tube. "So I said, 'Well, why don't you do something crazy. Just add water to that, and with the little bit of ruthenium that might remain there, try to do the reaction.' He did that, and the solution turned black."
A low concentration of ruthenium did the trick. "We found out that 0.05 percent of the ruthenium complex is the optimum concentration to dissolve nanotubes," Marti said. Further experimentation showed that simple ruthenium complexes alone did not work. The molecule requires its hydrophobic ligand tail, which seeks to minimize its exposure to water by binding with nanotubes. "That's the same thing nanotubes want to do, so it's a favorable relationship," he said.
Marti also found the nanotubes' natural fluorescence unaffected by the ruthenium complexes. "Even though they've been purified, which can introduce defects, they still exhibit very good fluorescence," he said.
He said that certain ruthenium complexes have the ability to stay in an excited state for a long time -- about 600 nanoseconds, or 100 times longer than normal organic molecules. "It means the probability that it will transfer an electron is high. That's convenient for energy transfer applications, which are important for imaging," he said.
That nanotubes stay suspended for a long time should catch the eye of manufacturers who use them in bulk. "They should stay separated for weeks without problems," Marti said. "We have solutions that have been sitting for months without any signs of crashing."
The Welch Foundation supported the research.

It seems as if almost every post I have written lately begins with some sort of apology for my infrequent blogging. A year of school, days in the garden, summer holidays… lots of reasons and excuses, but enough is enough already. I officially graduate in less than a week so school isn't an excuse, the garden is (almost) ready for winter, and I'm attending a blogging conference just days from now. Gulp. Let me repeat that, the woman who has averaged about a blog a quarter is attending a conference. For food bloggers. Filled with people who write (and publish!) for a living. Double gulp. With that looming motivation in mind I pulled out my notebook and started looking at the list I've been keeping of topics I want to turn into brilliant, informative, funny or tasty stories. But where to start? Continue reading

Tomatoes. They're sooooo good.
When I was a kid my Mom, as most moms do, drove me crazy. As soon as tomato season started every time she would bite into a tomato, and I mean every time, she would swoon. Really. Not just get a bit excited, but the "do you need smelling salts' kind of swoon. She would take one bite and in a fit of slight rapture she would exclaim "oh….. this is sooooooo good". "Yes Mom, we know. They are good." we would say. "No." she would say, " but these are SOOOOOOO good". Sigh. As a teenager it was mortifying.
Potluck and picnic potato salad.
I love summer. It really is the best time of year. The heat, the humidity, the sun, the fresh vegetables – heaven! The only downside I can think of is that it is usually (hopefully!) too nice to want to spend much time in the kitchen. I want to be at the pool, in the garden or playing bocce with friends. When I do step into the kitchen I want to create meals that are fast, seasonal and adaptable. Like potato salad. Now I'm not talking the mayonnaise loaded salad of our youth but a fresh, zingy, loaded with vegetables one that is a full on meal in a bowl.
Are you in or are you out?
Dear mostlynoodles Email Subscriber,
In accordance with Canada's anti-spam legislation coming into force on July 1, 2014, I am contacting you to obtain your consent to continue sending you email.
If you would no longer like to receive email, please click at the bottom of this email to unsubscribe from my blog and all associated email. If you do not unsubscribe, you will continue to receive email from mostlynoodles after July 1, 2014.
Thank you,
Phew. Unless you are brand new to my blog, in which case thanks for stopping by, you have probably assumed I wrote the above email under a bit of duress. You would be correct. Seriously, who says "In accordance to" ?
So what's with the legal speak you ask? Well some of you may have heard that effective July 1, 2014 Canada has a new anti-spam law. That means I need to ask you wether you are in or your are out? Or in more legal speak, do you still want me to send you emails when I post something new on the blog. I'm sure, in the bigger picture, an anti spam law can only be a good thing because, seriously, who likes spam? But, it does mean a whole bunch of work and confusion for a lot of people. If I have interpreted this new law correctly (and it's quite possible I haven't) it doesn't really apply to me because on this little blog while not only have you graciously chosen to follow me (implied consent) and I don't currently sell anything or get sponsored by anyone, I do send you an email (or the automated computer mail room does) when I produce a new post. So the new law might apply. And furthermore (I'm getting quite good at these big words aren't I?) should I decide to sell or advertise something in the future and I tell my existing readers about it – I just spammed! Now isn't that just a funky little legal loophole? Now normally I would plead blissful ignorance, smile sweetly, and hope the powers that be would focus on the people who are spamming with a capital S, but, the fine is a million bucks and given I don't sell or advertise on this site and therefore couldn't actually pay the fine…. well, you can see where I'm coming from right?
So there it is. I have requested your "express consent". I hope you stay. I promise in the future there will be significantly fewer posts with big words and legal mumbo jumbo and always predominantly be, mostly, about noodles.
Happy Blogiversary
Dear blog,
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday yesterday. In fact, I apologize for the past few months of neglect. I didn't get you a gift, and you know I don't create recipes for desserts, but as an apology please accept and devour the most divine apple cake inspired by Smitten Kitchen .
I promise the next year will be filled with words, recipes, nutrition and love.
Getting outside and nettle soup.
If April showers do in fact bring May flowers then Vancouver should have an amazing May. But May is here and while there are lots of flowers the continued rain (and snow in certain parts of the country – shudder) is making me think that perhaps May needs a little reminder what its job is, to be warm enough that we can all get outdoors after a long, cooped up winter and raise our pasty faces to the sun.
Spring and radish greens pesto.
Polar vortex or not, it is officially spring. To celebrate I spent my spring break holiday in northern Canada where it is definitely still winter. Despite the winter weather I kept warm with bundled up walks along the ice covered river, days spent on the couch in my pajamas reading and a glass (or two) of restorative red wine.
But, after a relaxing week of warming holiday comfort food, and with optimism in mind, I'm craving the tastes of spring. One of the first crops that is poking up out of the ground this year are the radishes. Continue reading
Pancakes for dinner.
Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday. Whatever you want to call it, I call it Pancake day and it's here!
Traditionally, pancake day is the last day before the beginning of Lent. During Lent, it is customary to give up things we love (think drinking pop or alcohol, tv, or eating chocolate) so historically families would try to use up things like meat, butter, and flour, and thus the tradition of Pancake Day began. As a kid for Shrove Tuesday my family usually went to a Pancake dinner at the church, which was always an awesome excuse to see friends in the middle of the week. These days, as someone always looking for an excuse to have friends around the table, Pancake Tuesday dinners seemed like a great tradition to start in my house.
Winter Grapefruit and Greens Salad
I remember as a kid we always seemed to be fundraising for something. Girl Guide cookies, raffle tickets or boxes of citrus for band trips. I was never a massive fan of the fundraising but was a huge fan of the arrival of those big boxes of Florida oranges and grapefruit. Growing up in Ontario, Florida was a pretty common winter vacation spot for most of my friends. Maybe my friends got their fill of citrus on holiday, but the closest I ever got, or have been, to Florida was getting those big boxes of oranges and grapefruit. Makes me, almost, miss high school band…
I was a lot older, when I first saw grapefruit growing on a tree. I could not believe my eyes. Tree after tree so overloaded the fruit was falling on the ground around me. I gourged myself on that first trip. It was divine.
Foodie PenPal – the January edition
Have you ever missed something, but not noticed that you missed it until you had it back? Well, so it was for me with the Foodie Penpal program. Those of you who have been around for awhile will know exactly what that is, for you fabulous newcomers scroll down further for all the details. After a lengthy hiatus from the program I decided it was time. This month I got to exchange food packages with Kim from Toronto. As always, I had a great time prepping a package for her, but the coming home in the middle of a week filled with exams and papers to find a parcel waiting was amazing.

From Candidate to Employee
The Force 3 interview process is designed to help candidates understand our culture, our people, and their potential fit with the company.
What is Force 3's Application Process?
Force 3 uses a multi-step interview process that helps both the company and prospective employees evaluate our mutual fit. After you complete the online application, a recruiter will carefully review your resume. If you are selected as a potential fit, the recruiter will invite you for an initial phone interview.
If you have the skills required for the position, and we feel you could also be a good match for our team, you will be invited to a second interview. You would either speak with the hiring manager by phone or come to our office for a first-round interview.
You can expect at least two or three in-person interviews with hiring managers before a decision is made.
For some positions, we conduct a presentation or whiteboard interview in a panel interview format. This allows you to showcase your skills and highlight what you would bring to the position and the company within your first 90 days.
We encourage you to use this as an opportunity to ask many questions about the position and your potential team.
If I am offered a position, what is the pre-employment screening process?
All candidates extended offers complete reference checks, background investigations and in some instances, our facility security officer will contact you to review security clearance information. Your recruiter will then extend you the offer.
After reference checks are completed and you return your signed offer letter, our Human Resources department will also contact you to provide information for your first day.
If I'm not selected for a specific opening, will I stay on Force 3's radar for future positions?
If you are not selected for a specific position, it only indicates that you weren't the right fit at that time. We encourage you to apply again for any other positions that interest you.
