Kids Rainbow Chevron Birthday Party
I can't help myself when it comes to celebrating my girls birthdays. I love everything about it, except maybe the clean up afterwards. This party was to be a joint party for them both, something I may not always be able to get away with, but while they are only 4 and 1 I'm going to take advantage of it, so it had to have a theme that they would both love. I thought that rainbows would be perfect this year. Bright, colourful and lots of fun. Instead of having an actual rainbow, which I thought may be a bit tacky, I instead used the popular chevron pattern and really just lots of colour. So I created a rainbow chevron pattern that I used on the invitations, a bunting for the table, thank you stickers for the party boxes, and for home made paper pin-wheels.
For decorations I made some rainbow tissue paper pom poms and hung them clustered above the cake table. We hung big bunches of coloured balloons and I made confetti from the pom pom offcuts that I sprinkled all over the table tops. There were of course party hats and lolly necklaces for everyone and I made the girls a felt crown each that they can add to their dress up boxes.
The rainbow theme was continued with the food. I had a stand of coloured popcorn cones, rainbow layered jelly cups, fairy bread (of course!), rainbow fruit skewers, rainbow mini marshmallows, rainbow candy bracelets, and jelly beans. To balance out the sugar overload we also had cheese and cracker platters, savoury pastry scrolls and Vegemite sandwiches. We filled one of the kids plastic toy buckets with drinks and ice and had a big jug of water on hand. The catering was simple and all prepared prior to the party starting as I didn't want to spend any party-time standing in the kitchen.
The girls had a play list of their favourite music – Justine Clarke, the Wiggles and Disney featured heavily. And we played a few games like Musical statues, Balloon Pop (after playing Simon says with the balloon they then had to try and pop the balloon to get the jelly bean inside) and had a Bubble Blowing session. The backyard was set up with a little ball pit, the sand play table and the kids little table and chairs for those who like to sit still to eat.
And of course no party can be without cake. Actually in this case, 2 cakes. In hindsight I think that if they ever have a joint party again they will have to settle on one cake between them as it was a mammoth task to create both cakes in one time frame. When we were kids we each got to pick a cake out of the 'Women's Day Big Birthday Cake Book'. The process would usually start a month or two before our big day, scouring the book over and over trying to chose to perfect cake. As we got older the requests were a little trickier for Mum as we would pick different elements from different cakes – I like this colour, those flowers, this shape and maybe a marble cake inside please Mum. All credit to my Mum, the cakes were always exactly what we wanted. And so, the tradition continues with my kids, and I love it.
Now I must admit we actually had 4 cakes over the 2 weeks of celebrations. Lucky Miss 1 had a giant cupcake on her birthday that we let her smash and then a rainbow layered cake for the party. Miss 4 took some mini red velvet cakes to school and while I had secretly hoped she would chose the same number 4 cake with fangipani's that I so fondly remember from my own party, she chose a Princess dolly-varden style cake for the party.
I think the trickiest part of the whole thing was choosing the right time to have the party. With Miss 1 only just having learnt how to sleep properly we really couldn't afford to ruin her nap-time schedule, and we couldn't make Miss 4 wait all day to have an afternoon party. In the end it was an early Sunday morning party which worked out well as it was over before the backyard got too hot. And I suppose the other tricky thing was the guest list. Unfortunately you can't invite everyone to these things and as your kids get older they start to get very particular about who they do and don't want to invite, making it slightly awkward for some friends. And then there are the inevitable last minute cancellations that happen with kids parties, where it is a matter of quick interference and distraction so that the party girl doesn't get upset.
It was a great day. The girls both had a fabulous time playing with their friends, eating party food and they received some amazing gifts.
Do you remember your birthday cakes? What was your favourite?

Is it possible to get a good deal on a flight within Canada ?
*Spoiler Alert*: Not likely, but please don't shoot the messenger.
Here's what I can tell you about domestic airfares within Canada, from the perspective of someone who's obsessively monitored airfares around the world for a number of years...
1. It doesn't matter what website you look at, or where you try searching, at the end of the day there are only 2 possible sources of prices for airfares on flights within Canada from London, Ontario and they are Air Canada and Westjet.
The prices they publish on their own sites (AirCanada.com and Westjet.com) are the same prices that get distributed on every travel website you'll ever waste your precious time searching. After using whatever method or website to find the latest prices for these two airlines , I'm sorry to say that you've exhausted your search possibilities.
Of course, every travel brand or agency in the world wants you to think otherwise, and have you believe that you'll find a better or different deal by searching through them. You won't. Time is money, so you'll actually be losing money by continuing your search.
2. Every now and then either Air Canada or Westjet will put out a promo code to entice people to fill their planes. When Air Canada puts out a code, Westjet will always, always match it (usually within less than a day), and vice versa.
I monitor the promo codes and post them on the forums in the 'Promo Codes & Alleged Seat Sales' thread, which you can find here:
The two biggest things to be aware of when it comes to promo codes are:
- The percentage discount the promo code advertises is only ever off the base fare (before taxes, fees, fuel surcharges) and not the total price. A decent rule of thumb is to just divide the % discount in half to figure out how much you're really saving. For example, if Air Canada is claiming to offer a '20% off promo code' it'll work out to approximately 10% off the total cost of the airfare.
- It's not uncommon for the airlines to raise their prices first before offering a discount promo code, making it a marketing gimmick rather than actual savings. But of course they rely on the fact that most people don't really know what a good price is anyways, and they know people will see 'discount' and automatically think that they're saving money.
3. If I had to pick a 'good' time to buy domestic fares within Canada, I'd probably go with about a season ahead (ie: fall sales near the end of summer, or winter sales near the end of fall). Somewhere in the range of 8 weeks before departure. It's around this time that it's most common for Air Canada or Westjet to get a little nervous about filling empty seats and *perhaps* offer a genuine sale. Don't expect miracles though, if you see a 'sale' about a 6-8 weeks before your departure dates, that's likely the best you'll do. I wouldn't hold out for much longer, because....
4. Last minute deals on flights within Canada do not exist. Period. Last minute airfares in general are usually pricey, not just within Canada. Prices can often drastically increase with under 4 weeks to go before departure if the plane becomes nearly full.
There are certain destinations in the world that *do* have good last minute airfare prices (which is probably what contributes to the urban myth of great last minute airfare deals to everywhere), but those are on charter airlines (usually to warm destinations down south or to Europe), not on domestic airfares within Canada.
5. You will never get a good deal on airfare at Christmas time, so it's a fruitless effort to keep your hopes up for one. If you absolutely have to fly during this time, you may as well just bite the bullet now.
In travel, the dreaded Christmas date range of December 22 to Jan 5th or so is in it's own little world, where prices start off high, only go higher, and never go on sale. This will never, ever change, unless the super high demand for Christmas travel suddenly disappears (ie: we all start taking our Christmas holidays at different times of the year instead of concentrating all that demand into the same 2 weeks).
Other high demand periods of the year include anything involving a long weekend, and school breaks. Price drops are not quite in the impossible category like they are with Christmas, but still far less likely than other times of the year.
6. Occasionally Westjet's Blue Tag Thursday deals will involve domestic flights within Canada. There has been the odd gem with a true discount beyond the marketing ploy.
7. Of all the thousands of great deals I've blogged about for Canadians over the years, I can count on one hand the number of times I've blogged about an actual amazing deal on a flight from a Canadian city to another Canadian city. There's a reason for that, and it's because they just don't exist (again, don't shoot the messenger). Of course, Air Canada and Westjet will continue to try and convince you otherwise with their marketing efforts.
So why *is* flying within Canada so expensive?
Well for starters, like any product where competition is low, prices don't have an incentive to drop. We only have 2 airlines competing on East->West routes across Canada (Porter runs Eastern Canada only routes), and that could essentially be considered a duopoly.
So then I think the bigger question becomes, why *do* we only have 2 airlines competing on routes within Canada? That question is a little more difficult to answer, but a few reasons include:
- Canada has a very low population density, with major cities spread out over vast distances. I don't think we could ever be quite like Europe, where you have many large populations in a relatively small area, which makes it easier to support the abundant number of low cost airlines.
- We don't allow foreign carriers to compete on routes within Canada. Even if it would make economic sense for Delta or United to fly between Canadian cities (and I'm not 100% sure whether it would or wouldn't for them), we don't allow it. In Europe, opening up the skies to allow foreign carriers to compete on routes was one of the major contributors to the drastic drop in airfare prices. Would it work here?
As I said above, I don't think we could ever see fares like they do in Europe due to our low population density. The best example for us to look at would probably be Australia, a similarly large country in terms of area with a small number of large populations scattered throughout. Australia used to have 2 airlines, one government owned, the other a privately held company, and very high airfare prices (sound familiar?).
In the 1990's, Australia opened up their skies and stared allowing foreign carriers to compete on routes within Australia. There were failures along the way, airlines came and went, but it has seemed to eventually result in lower fares. Airfare prices are certainly nothing like what you'll find in Europe with their abundance of low cost carriers, but fares are somewhat cheaper than Canada's on a cost per mile basis.
Opening up our skies to competition from foreign countries or carriers may or may not lead to lower airfares in Canada, but one thing is for sure, as long as we have an environment where competition is stifled, it's impossible.

How To Use Hair Oil Effectively For Gorgeous Hair
If you want gorgeous looking locks with sheen then oiling your hair is one of the most important things. It is very necessary to oil your hair regularly because it gives proper nourishment to your hair.
Having the right kind of oil for your hair is very important and so is oiling your hair but the important thing is how to use your hair oil effectively to get the gorgeous hair.
Follow these simple steps to use your hair oil effectively to gain the maximum benefits-
- Wash your hair and let it air dry completely.
- Grab a comb, shower cap, one bowl and essential oils like olive oil, almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, argan oil.
- Mix a tea spoon of olive oil, almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, argan oil and heat it mildly.
- Now take this mixture of warm oils and use your fingers or cotton ball to gently massage the oil into your hair, and then work through with a comb.
- After you have finished applying the oil, wrap your hair up in a shower cap and allow it to soak in for minimum thirty minutes or longer. Remember the longer you can leave the oil on your hair, the more effective it will be.
- You can leave it over night also and then shampoo your hair to remove oil.
- These natural oils moisturize your hair and gives your locks natural shine, they also nourish your scalp and reduce dry, flaky skin, help to get rid of dandruff and give you healthier hair growth.
- Coconut oil has high concentration of vitamin E and other nutrients that your hair can absorb them easily and result in thicker, shiner, healthier hair with stronger roots. This oil also contains lauric and capric acid that has antimicrobial powers that make your hair and scalp healthier and prevent infections.
Deep Nourishing Treatment
- Olive oil gives deep moisturizing treatment to your hair that accelerates hair growth and softer smoother hair. Massaging your scalp with olive oil improves blood circulation.
- Argan oil contains lots of vitamin E, Omega 3 and 9 fatty acids, and antioxidants that transform your damaged, dry, coarse or otherwise unmanageable hair into smooth, shiny locks.
- Almond oil contains all kinds of healthy ingredients for hair like Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamin E and magnesium. Using almond oil nourishes and strengthens your hair, and is optimal for treating hair loss and damaged hair. A few drops go a long way to add silkiness and shine & nourish the scalp.
- Castor oil has natural antibacterial and anti fungal properties and is high in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids. Its unusually high ricinoleic acid ratio makes it beneficial hair.
Massage your scalp with oil give you immense benefit like:
- Oiling your hair regularly will make a difference to the quality of your hair texture, say experts.
- Olive, jojoba, almond, argan or coconut oil infused with herbs that enhance its properties, can provide the scalp nutrition that helps in prevention of bacteria, dandruff, itchy flakes.
- A nice head massage also promotes sleep and you wake up refreshed and raring to go the next day.
- When you are oiling your hair, you should also apply a little to the ends.
So Hair oil is the basic need for your hair which has to be done properly.

Renova offers treatments for fallen arches that will prevent further complications. You don't have to continue feeling the pain of fallen arches. Call us today to discover treatment options that can help.
Many people have flatfeet from birth and never experience proper development in their arches. In other cases, certain factors can exacerbate or cause fallen arches. Previous injury, such as dislocated or broken bones, nerve damage, or tendon tears in the feet can cause the feet to flatten. Factors like obesity, diabetes, pregnancy, and aging can also increase stress on the feet, leading to fallen arches.
Flatfeet is a common condition, often causing no pain and requiring no treatment. However, if you experience frequent foot pain in your arches, it is possible that fallen arches are the cause. If you experience frequent pain in your arches while walking, running, or standing, it is best to seek medical treatment in order to prevent injury or the development of other chronic foot conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis.
Our feet are designed to flatten slightly whenever we take a step. This process, known as pronation, helps maintain flexibility and allows the feet to absorb shock. However, flat feet tend to overpronate, resulting in excess stress to the knees and shins. In order to prevent pain and injury from overpronation, find shoes that offer lots of support and structure. Lining your shoe with an arch support can also help.
It is common for children to have flatfeet. Most children only begin to develop pronounced arches between the ages of 7 and 10. It is estimated that 15-25% of people do not develop full arches into adulthood. Therefore, it is best to simply keep an eye on how your child's feet are developing and to let your doctor know if your child complains of foot pain.
Many treatment options are available for fallen arches, including physical therapy, injections of anti-inflammatory medication, and/or orthotic shoes or inserts. In rare cases, surgery may be required to treat severe arch damage.

Distinguish different fruits and colors
After washing the vegetables or fruits, parents can put them on the table or the shopping basket, then you pick up one piece of banana and ask children to watch its characteristic, finally parent tell children that it is the banana and the color of it is yellow. With the same way, you pick up one tomato and tell them that it is the tomato and the color if it is the red. What's more, you can ask your children to touch them by hands, which can enhance their touch feeling. I am sure your children would learn lots of vegetables and fruits from this way. At the same time, their vocabulary can be increased from the playing process. However, if parents put these vegetables or fruits at the kitchen, you should firstly put knife and other dangerous daily items away to avoid the harm.
Build fruits tower
Cut apples, pears, cucumbers and carrots into different shapes with different size and then ask children to pile up these fruits pieces. For example, you can ask them to put the large one at the bottom and the small one at the top. At the same time, based on the different colors, these pieces can be piled at different locations. The red ones are piled at the first layer while he green ones are piled at the second layer. If children want to eat these fruits pieces in the playing process, parents can ask them to take out one piece of them and the fruits tower should not collapse. Children would know how to classify items according to different colors and different sizes, which is beneficial to form the concept of space.
Pick up the noodles
Place the cooked noodles at the tray and let it cool, then put it in front of children and see their reaction. Sometimes children would use hands to pinch or throw and sometimes they would put it into their mouths. No matter what children do, they can get lots of skills from the playing. If the noodles are fallen on the floor or table, parents should teach your children pick it up and place at the tray again. Children's operating ability can be developed from this game. However, what parents should pay attention is that you should wash children's two hands before the game playing and the noodles given to them should have the toughness and not to be grasped into pieces easily.

Transpersonal Counselling Course
This is where transpersonal psychology comes into play because it is through the transpersonal – that is, by moving beyond the ego - that we are able to explain phenomenon's such as periods of time where people are experiencing similar symptoms being tired, depressed, excited or angry. And on an individual level, near death experiences, dreams, why some people are always unlucky/lucky as well as many other facets of our experience are not really explainable within the common theories.
You've probably noticed that there are times where everyone you know seems to be complaining about similar things, or getting excited about similar things. On the TV news we regularly hear about such broad statistical indicators such as consumer confidence or that there are certain ideas that spread like wild fire.
When you do a transpersonal counselling course like ours you will better understand how these phenomena are interlinked, how the law of resonance comes into play, the role of karma and reincarnation, and much more.
Read on to learn about the course, who's teaching it and why we're the best choice for your transpersonal counselling education…,
Competent Teachers, High Quality Material
Now this is where you come in, as someone who's wanting to learn more about transpersonal counselling, being able to tap into this kind of experience, gain some of the many insights in a grounded and broad manner that normally take years to master from two seasoned professionals in the field, all the while only learning those theories and techniques that will actually help you to help a person is a pretty valuable resource and a great head start you won't get from many other transpersonal training institutions.
The entire course is designed from the ground up to give you exactly the information you need; no ineffective techniques or purely academic theories here as we promise you that you will find this course jam packed with information on transpersonal psychology, how to apply it and those little titbits of insider knowledge that take many years of experience to learn. We ourselves certainly would have progressed a lot faster had we had a course like this when we first started out in this field all those years ago.
Ulla who graduated with a Masters of Psychology from the University of Copenhagen has extensive expertise in most popular forms of counselling since the 70's, including but not limited to gestalt therapy, bioenergetics, psychotherapy, psychodrama and dream analysis, and extensive esoteric studies under the Irish healer Bob Moore and the Danish teacher Jes Bertelsen. Today Ulla is the artist behind our picture-series, Path of Dharma, Kalachakra, Liberation through Resonance in the Bardo, all Archetype based imagery meant for in depth balancing and transformation, and the pictures can be seen on this website.
While Erik on top of similar therapeutic and theoretical training as Ulla has a natural ability to teach, manage groups and through the years has developed an uncanny ability to hit the nerve of an issue; and in the process cutting straight to the core of a problem.
Ulla and Erik are happily married and still work both as counsellors and teaching counselling skills for more than 30 years.
And together their level of knowledge and personal experience offers you a completely unrivalled level of quality and support that will both lead you in the right direction, teach you what you need to know; a level of quality which many people tell us is completely unmatched in the industry.
Upfront Realistic Expectations with Integrity in Accreditation
However it's different in counselling because there is no universally accepted way of changing people, it's very subjective.
To cut a long story short, the only accreditation that really matters in the field of counselling is if you've gone the full way and done a university course in social services, psychology or similar. Those courses won't teach you how to actually work with people, so this you will have to figure out on your own or through a course like ours.
Now on top of this you'll be lucky to find an elective in transpersonal counselling at a university, let alone one that covers the breadth and scope of these theories.
Our course is not accredited by any external body because the few organisations that do exist that can truly accredit this type of material or the breadth of the course would for the most part neither offer you any real assurances or matter much on your resume. They would however drive up the cost of the course.
This course will provide you with a solid foundation in the different areas of transpersonal psychology and - counselling, it will take a practical approach and provide you with 1 on 1 support and coaching from a highly experienced teacher in the field either face to face or over the phone.

Unlimited email support is included.
Material is easy to read, straight forward and will be immediately accessible to anyone who has passed year 10 English or better.
Complex statistical knowledge or advanced mathematics is NOT required; compassion is. We tell you what works; we don't make you read long and dry academic studies to help someone.

1 on 1 Teaching & Coaching
Unique to Starbridge is 1 on 1 teaching that can
either be done face to face, through Skype or via the telephone. In
these sessions you will be able to ask any questions you have and have
Erik explain the concepts, act as your sounding board and give you
He can also if need be counsel or coach you through any issues you might personally have that are preventing you from being at your best.
In a typical classroom setting there are 20+ people and the teacher needs to go through the material in a way that will cater for all. While in our courses you will learn the material at your own pace in the comfort of your own home in front of your computer and then talk to Erik personally to have questions explained and points of confusion cleared up.
In this way you get the best of both worlds. The time can be split up over smaller blocks if you prefer.
Normally an hour doesn't sound like that much, but this isn't a high school or a classroom setting, it is individual, personal and 1 on 1; and on top of this you will already have gotten a solid foundation to build on through the course work so it will be very efficient use of both your time and ours.
Modules 2,3,4 include half an hour of tuition if purchased individually, or if you purchase the full course you will receive 2 hours of tuition in total.
Erik's normal hourly rate is $135.00 AUD for counselling sessions and extra tuition, so you are only really paying $7.50 for the material per module.
Why We Are So Affordable
This course is completed entirely online, so we don't have to pay for expensive classrooms or facilities.
The course is based upon the material from a classroom based transpersonal counselling course we used to run, so apart from periodic updates and refreshers it was mostly already written.
We don't have to pay for expensive accreditation that wouldn't benefit you.
Tuition is short, efficient, to the point and 1 on 1. You pay
for exactly what you need.
Not everyone uses all their allotted tuition, so we can afford
to give you more tuition without reducing our hourly wage.
We firmly believe that access to transpersonal psychology knowledge should be affordable so our margins
are fair and we will keep them that way.
Guaranteed Satisfaction
We know you'll be satisfied with our courses, and to back this up each of them come with a 30 day unconditional 100% money back guarantee when you pay upfront. You are even welcome to keep any and all material you've received from us. Please note:
Used tuition is non refundable and the standard rate of $135.00 an hour will be deducted from your refund.
Payment plans are non-refundable; you can simply cancel at any time, even past the 30 days, at no further obligation. And if you decide you want to do the course again, you only need to pay the difference.

Dr. Fong Says: Wow I have been gone a long time. The mysteries are piling up!
"One of Shropshire's most sensational mysteries – the spooky riddle of "The Wem ghost" – may at last have been solved by eagle-eyed Shropshire Star reader Brian Lear."
"Brian spotted an eerie similarity between a girl standing in the street in a 1922 postcard of Wem and the young girl whose fuzzy image was famously captured amid the flames as Wem Town Hall burned down in 1995."

Monty Westmore was the youngest of six sons in a family of makeup artists. George Westmore, Monty's father, founded the first makeup department at a major motion picture studio. Westmore's mastery of makeup techniques quickly garnered attention in Hollywood. Under George's guidance, the family established a makeup dynasty in Hollywood that lasted four generations.
Monty Westmore was the first to leave home when he began working as a busboy at Famous Players-Lasky studio during the 1921 shooting of The Sheik. There, he met Rudolf Valentino, who had been doing his own makeup during filming. Westmore—after demonstrating his skills to the studio bosses—became Valentino's primary makeup artist until the actor's death in 1926. By this time, Westmore had begun freelancing. His work on Mutiny on the Bounty caught the attention of David O. Selznick, and he was hired as head of the makeup department at Selznick International Pictures.
Like all the designers on Gone With The Wind, Westmore did intensive research long before filming began. The task he faced was daunting. Many scenes of the film had scores of extras who needed makeup. The major characters needed to simultaneously look like stars and look natural. Through several months of filming, dozens of major characters needed to appear to age significantly. At times, as many as three scenes were shot simultaneously with the star characters.
Westmore also had to accommodate the new Technicolor process, which was so sensitive it could pick up the color of an actor's costume reflected in another actor's face. Cooperating with Walter Plunkett, the costume designer, and Ernest Haller, the cinematographer, Westmore managed to keep Vivien Leigh's naturally blue eyes looking green.
Westmore personally applied the makeup for all the Scarlett O'Hara screen tests. He met Selznick's high demands while simultaneously working on the films Rebecca and Intermezzo. Westmore suffered a heart attack and died less than a year after Gone With The Wind was released. Because makeup artists did not regularly receive screen credit for their work until the 1940s, Westmore's substantial contributions to the success of Gone With The Wind were not publicly acknowledged in his lifetime.

text: I really enjoyed Dan Mirvish's tongue-in-cheek and immensely practical take on making small indie films, "8 Rules on Being a Locavore Filmmaker". Stay close to home, fake it with what you've got nearby, keep everyone's commute short, don't act like a big production company shipping people and things all over the country, and use your short commutes for badly-needed exercise during post. It's not just budget constraint (although it's often that, too). You pick your battles when you're making a film, and there's a lot of overhead that goes into the logistics of travelling. When you've got a small team working on the film, moving things around can end up being a huge drain of both time and money, and the simpler you keep it, the more of your resources can go into what shows up on screen. Joss Whedon's making art films in his kitchen between Avengers movies; it's not the minor leagues to think small and work out of your garage, it's defining your resources and prioritizing where you put them.

Correctional Officer & Counselor Careers
Join Our Team
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) offers rewarding peace officer career opportunities. Becoming a peace officer with CDCR means you are joining a family of dedicated, hardworking men and women responsible for ensuring public safety throughout California. Once you join CDCR, there are many career options you can take as a peace officer including Parole, Internal Affairs, Correctional Safety as well as specialized team assignments including Investigative Services Unit, Crisis Response Team, Gang Task Force, and Fugitive Apprehension Team.
Selection Components
To be eligible for appointment a candidate must be successful in each of the following selection components:
After submitting your application you will be notified via email within 10 days with the date of your written examination. The notification will include your candidate identification number and logon instructions for our online scheduling system. If you have a conflict with your scheduled written exam date please logon to the scheduling system and select a date to reschedule yourself, or contact your designated testing center and request to be rescheduled.
The historic pass rate for the written exam is 87%. Candidates that successfully complete the exam will be scheduled to attend the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) the following month.
The written examination is designed to evaluate applicant skills in the areas of grammar, spelling, punctuation, reading comprehension, and basic mathematics. The exam is one hour and forty-five minutes and has 56 multiple-choice questions. To learn more about the types of questions asked on the Written Examination, click here for a Sample Test.
Correctional Officer exam prep books are available online and at bookstores and may benefit some candidates.
Please note: If you are designated as an out of state applicant, please Click Here for more information.
For more information on the Written Exam click here to read Frequently Asked Questions.
Correctional Officers (COs), Youth Correctional Officers (YCOs), and Youth Correctional Counselors (YCCs) must be able to respond to a variety of physically demanding activities to maintain safety and security in a correctional environment. The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) evaluates each candidate's strength, endurance, and agility as required to satisfactorily perform the essential duties and functions expected of a CO/YCO/YCC. The PFT administered is modeled after, and tests for the same abilities, as those required of peace officer cadets to graduate from the Academy. This test is designed to assess the probability of success in performing various physical functions at the Academy and after graduation at your assigned institution or facility.
To assess these abilities, you will:
- Run a 500-yard course on a variety of different surfaces, including
- Run up and down one flight of stairs
- Complete a mini obstacle course
- Carry two (2) 45-pound kettlebells over a distance of 50 yards and set them down
- Carry one (1) 45-pound weight over 75-yards and set it down,
- Carry one (1) 30-pound weight over a final distance of 110-yards and then set it down
To pass the PFT candidates must complete the course in 5 minutes and 5 seconds, or less. Please view the PFT VIDEO to watch an example of the nature of the course you may encounter.
Candidates who work out regularly (2-3 times per week) and are in good to excellent condition generally do very well on the PFT. Candidates who do not work out regularly may require six to twelve weeks, or more, of regular cardio and weight training prior to taking the PFT. Consult a medical professional prior to beginning any exercise program. For training recommendations, refer to the PFT Preparation Guide.
You may view another version of a PFT course here.
The PFT is held in three regions of California; Northern (Sacramento), Central (Fresno), and Southern (Chino). Candidates are notified of their PFT testing date via email. See maps and addresses for all Testing Locations.
NOTE: If you cannot appear for your scheduled PFT please logon to our online scheduling system to reschedule, or contact your designated testing center to reschedule if within 5 days of your PFT.
For more information on the Physical Fitness Test click here to read Frequently Asked Questions.
Government Code Section 1031 requires the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to determine that "peace officer candidates are of good moral character, as determined by a thorough background investigation." Civil Code 1798.15 requires that "personal information shall be collected to the greatest extent practical." Additionally, Labor Code Section 432.7 requires that you disclose arrests or detentions which did or did not result in conviction, as well as referral to and participation in pretrial diversion programs.
The background investigation process consists of a thorough background investigation into each applicant's past and current employment, residence history, relationships, credit responsibility, criminality, computerized voice stress analysis and fingerprint search. During this process CDCR will contact personal references, employers, education institutions, and law enforcement agencies to determine your suitability to become a peace officer.
Personal History Statement (PHS)
The PHS is an extensive document used to collect information regarding applicants past residences, acquaintances, and employment history. All candidates must submit their PHS, along with the notarized release (page 4), and other original documents upon check-in at the PFT. Candidates who are unable to provide a completed typed PHS document and notarized release will not be allowed to participate in the PFT and must contact their designated testing center no later than their appointment date to reschedule.
All responses to questions answered within the submitted PHS will be verified through the background investigation and Computerized Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) examination.
CVSA Examination/Fingerprinting (LiveScan)
As part of the background investigation process, all candidates will be required to submit to a CVSA examination. The CVSA examination is used to verify the veracity and accuracy of information submitted by applicants regarding, but not necessarily limited to: use of controlled substances, driving, criminal history, employment history, and other suitability factors.
Candidates will be fingerprinted by Live Scan as a required part of the background investigation. Each fingerprint is scanned into a computer database at the Department of Justice and checked against criminal records nationwide. Information received may include charges that have been dismissed.
It takes approximately 90 days to complete the background investigation. A complex background investigation, or a background investigation with serious issues, may exceed the 90-day timeframe.
Disqualifying Factors
Examples of disqualifying information include: felony conviction, current firearm prohibition, currently on probation, or an active criminal warrant.
Examples of possible disqualifying factors discovered during this investigation that will be evaluated on a case by case basis include: misdemeanor convictions, certain serious traffic convictions or patterns of traffic law violations, failure to appear, driver license suspensions, driving under the influence, failure to comply with legal obligations, negative employment history, and substance abuse.
Illegal Drug Activity – An applicant's experimental use of marijuana or other drugs may not be a disqualifying factor. The recency, frequency, and specific circumstances of illegal drug activity will be evaluated to determine suitability for employment as a peace officer.
Marijuana Use – The use of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes is considered illegal drug use as mandated by the federal government. For CDCR's policy regarding marijuana use, see Frequently Asked Questions at the following location https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/career_opportunities/por/FAQ.html
Firearm Prohibition – An applicant with a current firearm prohibition cannot be appointed as a peace officer.
Pending Criminal Prosecution – An applicant who is pending criminal prosecution for any felony or misdemeanor crime cannot be appointed as a peace officer until a judgment has been entered.
Active Warrant – An applicant who has an active warrant (other than failure to appear for a minor traffic violation) cannot be appointed as a peace officer until the warrant has been cleared.
Dishonorable or Bad Conduct Discharge from Armed Forces – An applicant who separated from any branch of the Armed Forces with a Dishonorable or Bad Conduct discharge will be removed from the selection process.
Military Court Martial – An applicant convicted by a military court martial from any branch of the Armed Forces cannot apply until a minimum of three years have elapsed from the date of conviction.
Court Probation– An applicant who is serving any term of court probation will be removed from the selection process until the probation period has ended.
Misdemeanor Conviction – An applicant who has been recently convicted of a misdemeanor offense or multiple misdemeanor offenses may be removed from the selection process.
DUI / Wet Reckless – An applicant who has been recently convicted of DUI/Wet Reckless may be removed from the selection process.
Negative Employment Record – An applicant who has a recent negative employment record or an applicant with a recent termination for cause may be disqualified from the selection process.
Driving Record – An applicant with recent or severe traffic citations or multiple driver's license suspensions may be disqualified from the selection process.
For more information on the Background Investigation click here to read Frequently Asked Questions.
This test checks a candidate's visual acuity and color vision. If the candidate does not have 20/20 vision in each eye, a written certification is required from an optometrist or ophthalmologist indicating that vision is correctable to 20/20 in each eye.
Note: (1) If your vision is NOT 20/20 or better in each eye, or (2) if you use any type of corrective lenses, you need to print out the Peace Officer Vision Verification (OPOS 201) form and have it filled out by your eye doctor. Bring the completed form with you on your scheduled vision test date.

The joint NBC Universal and News Corp video site Hulu is now the second largest web video site in the US, according to new Nielsen figures.
Hulu served 50m more video streams from February to March at 350m - impressive, but still some way behind YouTube at 5.4bn streams watched by 89.4 billion viewers. Though the number of streams rose month on month, the number of viewers was actually down from 9.4 million.
YouTube was actually down slightly from January when it served 5.8bn streams to 92.5 billion viewers, notes Chris Albrecht at NewTeeVee.
Beet.TV has a recent interview with Hulu's chief technical officer Eric Feng who said that though online video had no business model before 2007, the sector will defy the downturn to grow 45% this year in the US to be worth $850m.
Meanwhile Hulu is continuing to talk to potential partners for a UK launch of the service - which was made a significantly more attractive option for the service since the Kangaroo proposals weer scrapped. Some UK programming has already been added to Hulu but, for now, will only be accessible to viewers in the US.
