Deep state? 78 Obama appointees 'burrowed' in gov't, report says
By the time Barack Obama's presidency ended in January 2017, 78 of his political appointees had "burrowed" into government jobs over the course of six years, a report says.
The report from the Government Accountability Office was obtained by the Washington Times.
"Burrowing" refers to a process in which political appointees are appointed to career-level jobs to protect them from being ousted once a new administration takes over.The department with the highest number of conversions was the Department of Homeland Security, with nine appointees burrowing in. The Department of Justice was second with eight conversions.
The process of burrowing is not an uncommon for administrations on the way out. President George W. Bush had at least 26 conversions approved in his final year in office.
“Not only is ‘burrowing in’ unfair to applicants without an inside connection, it further contributes to the possibility that federal workers may attempt to undermine the policies of the new president,” Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote to Obama, McClatchyDC reported.

She's Back!
Yeah I was there about 7am and the sun was still on the rise, and I got some A.M. shadow going on here.
Wow! she is one good looking Goddess
Those lips.
And Blue eyes.
Only one goddess who has gorgeous brown hair that I know of.
And that's the Goddess of Pomona, and she is back.
She is located between Main St. and Thomas St. and she is on W Third St..
So stop on by, and have your picture taken with the Goddess of Pomona.
I'm sure she would be happy to have her picture taken, with you all.

Santa Monica Cat Club Presents "A Felinefest" Cat Show
Expo Hall 7
Saturday Oct. 7, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Sunday Oct. 8, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
General Admission $12
Seniors & Military $8, 55+ years or Military ID
Children, ages 7-12, $8
Families $25, up to 3 adults and 4 children, ages 7-12
Ages 6 and under are FREE!
The cats in competition are divided into five different groups or classes:
Kitten Class - Cats whose age ranges from 4 to 7 months. These cats are not fully developed and therefore may not completely meet their respective breed standard. A breed standard is a set of ideal physical requirements for a given breed and breeders select their show cats to best meet those requirements.
Championship Class - Cats who are 8 months or older and are still able to reproduce. These cats are considered fully mature and are expected to meet their breed standard completely.
Premiership Class – Cats who are 8 months or older and have been spayed or neutered. These cats are often retired breeding cats who are excellent examples of their breed.
Veteran Class – Cats who are 7 years or older. These cats are usually retired show cats who, in spite of their age, continue to be outstanding examples of their breed.
Household Pets – These are random bred cats who are 4 months or older. This class of competition is particularly fun for new exhibitors as the cats are not judged to a breed standard but rather on their intrinsic beauty, personality and grooming. This is an excellent way to experience exhibiting cats and learn more about the cat fancy. This level of competition is open to any cat that is in good health (no signs of fleas, ear mites, etc.) and has Not been declawed.
Please leave your cats at home

Backyard composting is an attractive, simple method of managing organic waste at home. It adapts to fit individual lifestyles, incomes, yard sizes, and ambitions. Backyard composting can be performed by a variety of methods. The compost produced is an excellent soil conditioner. It enhances the structure of soil by binding soil particles together. This improves aeration and helps soil retain water and nutrients. Compost also improves drainage in clay soils and water retention in sandy soils. Compost improves the buffering capacity of the soil and minimizes adverse effects to plants due to extreme shifts in soil pH.
WORM COMPOSTING
Worm composting is a simple, natural method for converting fruit and vegetable scraps from your yard and kitchen into rich nutrients. All you need is a container filled with moistened bedding, worms and food scraps. The worms, with help from micro-organisms, convert the bedding and food waste into compost within a few weeks. Worm composting is so simple that it can be done virtually anywhere: schools, offices, kitchens, or homes.
