Personnel administration in libraries
By Helen HOWARD
A number of key issues in library personnel administration in the Canadian context are covered including staffing, duties, human resources planning, job analysis, job evaluation, performance appraisal, laws against discrimination, staff training and development, and quality of working life.
L'auteur passe en revue les principaux aspects de la gestion du personnel de bibliothèque en milieu canadien: dotation en personnel, tâches professionnelles, planification des ressources humaines, analyse des emplois, évaluation des postes appréciation du rendement, lois contre la discrimination, formation du personnel, qualité de vie au travail.
Personnel administration can be defined as "the recruitment, selection, development, utilization of, and accomodation to human resources by organizations."1 The human resources of an organization consist of all individuals engaged in any of the organization's activities. Libraries employ not only large numbers of people, but also very diverse kinds of people. It is not unusual for sixty to eighty percent of a library's budget to be devoted to salaries. Thus effective personnel administration is critical to a library's achieving its goals and objectives. In times of extreme financial constraint, the very survival of a library may be highly dependent upon the quality of personnel administration.
This paper has been organized around some of the key issues in library personnel administration in the Canadian context. The intent in the space available is to provide a flavour of the issues and challenges and to stimulate librarians to examine their own personnel policies and practices, management style, working conditions etc. with a view to providing an improved level of personnel administration.
Personnel administration as practiced in libraries is of a very uneven nature. Size is often a controlling factor with the result that personnel officers or departments tend to be found only in medium and large-size libraries. Personnel functions for staff in special libraries, school libraries, and small academic libraries may be carried out by the personnel (now often termed "human resource") offices of the parent organization. However, personnel administration is inherent in all organizations. It is an integral part of every administrative, managerial, and supervisory position. Techniques may help in specific instances, but the important consideration is the systematic overall approach to managing human resources.
Martin believes libraries have tended to rely on rather primitive methods of personnel administration and have lacked sophistication in the handling of newer techniques. "This has in turn led to a kind of applied-faddism as one tool after another has been used as the key to salvation... and too much has been expected of them."2 This paper is approached with a general systems view of organizations and the application of contemporary behavioral science theory, research, and practice.
The impact of financial constraint, a competitive job market, new technologies, rapid change in the environment, more involvement of staff in decision making, new legislation, and an increased demand for accountability have increased the importance of the effective use of human resources.
There is some evidence that greater emphasis is being placed on improved personnel administration. For example, in December 1973 The Systems and Procedures Exchange Center of the Association of Research Libraries Office of University Library Management Studies reported that 30 ARL libraries had appointed or were planning to appoint personnel officers. By November 1977 some 80 ARL libraries had personnel officers.3 Also, the amount of literature on specific aspects of library personnel administration as well as on the broad topic has increased in the last five years. This is reflected in the variety of sources used as background for this paper.
A number of factors have been part of an increased and specialized attention to personnel administration. These include an increase in the size and complexity of libraries, a growing number of governmental regulations and guidelines; a need for orientation, career counseling, training, and performance appraisal; unionization; attempts to implement a system involving job analysis and evaluation which involve detailed task analysis; new selection practices including the use of search committees; more sophisticated systems for promotion and tenure decisions; changing types and quantity of work to be done; changing ratios of professional to other staff; and general concern about the quality of working life. A selection of these topics which appear to be key issues for personnel administration and for professionals in the 1980's is reviewed in the remainder of this paper.
"Staffing" should be thought of as an integrated system which includes all methods of matching skills available with the tasks to be performed, through hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, job restructuring, and training.4 Library staffing patterns have been shifting as a result of changes such as those in technology and especially automation, financial constraints, attempts to utilize staff more effectively, and changing forms of governance.
The staffing of libraries is becoming more differentiated. Enlightened library administrators are recognizing that several kinds of staff are needed and that the tasks each type of staff performs should be appropriate to the jobs for which they were hired. Library staff may be distributed into three groups:
The ALA policy statement, "Library Education and Personnel Utilization" recommends categories of library personnel and levels of training and education appropriate to preparing personnel for these categories:
To meet the goals of library service, both professional and supportive staff are needed in libraries. Thus the library occupation is much broader than that segment of it which is the library profession, but the library profession has responsibility for defining the training and education required for the preparation of personnel who work in libraries at any level, supportive or professional.
Skills other than those of librarianship may also have an important contribution to make to the achievement of superior library service. There should be equal recognition in both the professional and supportive ranks for those individuals whose expertise contributes to the effective performance of the library.6
There is no comprehensive study to show how many librarians, other professionals, library technicians, library assistants, and clerical staff are currently employed in Canadian libraries and what their interrelationships are in the work place. However, some scattered data can be assimilated.
The ratio of professionals to other library staff has varied through the years. For instance, Canadian academic libraries showed a ratio of one professional to 2.85 other staff in 1969.7 The latest data from Statistics Canada for 1978, although not wholly comparable since part-time equivalents are not included, show a ratio of one to slightly more than three.8 Informal sources indicate that currently the ratio is closer to 1:4 in large Canadian university libraries. However, staffing ratios seem to be considerably different in public libraries. A recent survey of Canadian public libraries showed a ratio of 1:1.65 for librarians to other library workers.9
The basic academic qualification for a librarian is an M.L.S. degree from an accredited library school. There is a trend, however, for employers to seek staff with a second masters in a subject area. Priorities of programs and the' nature of work in libraries are changing. Thus a staff establishment which was appropriate in the 1970's needs review. The pressure from funding sources to justify programs and staffing has accelerated this activity and is forcing all administrators to look carefully at who is doing what and who could do what. It appears that fewer individuals are doing professional work than previously and there is a proportionately increasing number of library technicians, library assistants, and clerical staff.
Except in Quebec the library technician programs require two years of post-secondary education with a recommended 40-50 percent of academic courses, and 50-60 percent of technical courses and required field work.10 In Quebec, library technicians are trained mainly in the three-year program "Techniques de la documentation/Document Technology" in the Collèges d'enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP's). This program, which began to replace in 1975 the former Library Technology Program, prepares the student for work not only in libraries but also in archives, records centres, bookstores, and documentation centres.
Although the first two-year program for library technicians in Canada was launched in 1966 and there are now some twenty-two programs, data are incomplete for the number of graduates and their placement. A survey conducted in 1981 showed that of the 409 graduates reported, the largest number, 122, had found employment in special libraries. Of the remainder, 55 were in academic and public libraries respectively, and nine in non-library jobs but using library skills.11 It appears that the technicians are having considerable success in finding positions, especially in special libraries. Indeed, many businesses and industries which feel that they can not afford or justify the hiring of a librarian, are turning to library technicians to organize their collections and develop services. A serious problem faced by library technicians, however, is that of gaining recognition as a group with specific academic and experiential training. Most large libraries do not have a separate classification for library technicians. Rather they tend to include them in a general category of "library assistants." This is an obvious problem for personnel administrators to tackle.
Library assistant positions are usually - but not always - similar to the "library associate" advocated in the ALA "Library Education and Personnel Utilization" policy. This group of personnel is described as having
supportive responsibilities at high level, normally working within established procedures and techniques, and with some supervision by a professional, but requiring judgment, and subject knowledge such as represented by a full, four-year college education culminating in the/a bachelor's degree.12
The third group of library employees, the clerical staff, needs a knowledge of office practices and a capacity to follow repetitive procedures within specified guidelines.
The issue of what duties should be carried out by professionals and those by other staff is receiving increased attention because of the need to make the most efficient use of staff and also to meet the expectations of young, ambitious professionals. Numerous efforts have been made to distinguish between professional and other tasks. For example, the American Library Association published a list of professional and nonprofessional duties in 1948.13 The Library Association undertook to distinguish professional from nonprofessional duties in 1964 and published a second edition in 1974.14
A different approach - that of applying the techniques of functional job analysis to libraries - was begun in 1969 by the Illinois Task Analysis Project (ILTAP). The objective of Phase I of the project was to provide a realistic description of work actually being done in public, school, special, and academic libraries. This phase identified 1,615 tasks performed by eighteen libraries. The project culminated in phase III with the publication of a synthesis of the preceding phases and a list of library tasks arranged by eight major subsystems and three performance levels - professional, technical, and clerical.15
Most recently, the consultants for Project Progress used as a starting point the Illinois tasks and functional groupings to find out who does what in a selection of public libraries. The task list they developed contained 787 tasks. An analysis of the task survey shows considerable overlap in performance of tasks by various categories of library workers. The researchers state that "We can identify no norms or patterns by which libraries could assess their own task/personnel assignments... Only 9.5 percent of the tasks listed were carried out exclusively by librarians."16 The consultants conclude that task analysis is not a tool that can enable libraries to rationalize and account for their effectiveness in personnel administration. In addition they conclude that "extrapolating 'who should do what' in libraries from 'who is doing what' is neither feasible nor desirable."17 Rather, they recommend that model job descriptions should be developed to provide guidelines for appropriate task assignment within public libraries.
The most recent attempt to identify professional duties has been undertaken by a committee of the Corporation des bibliothécaires professionnels du Québec. They re-worked a list published in 197418 and in April 1982 sent a revised list to the Corporation members for comment. The committee provides a selected list of duties expected to be performed by professionals in four functional areas - administration, collection management, organization and cataloguing of materials, and dissemination of materials - and a fifth section connected with teaching, research, and professional development.
Support staff, as defined earlier, includes graduates of a library technician program and library assistants with a bachelor's degree. Because of the variability of library size and working conditions and the lack of clarification of what constitutes professional work, it is impossible to state the specific duties which should be assigned to support staff. As far as library technicians are concerned, the Canadian Library Association's Guidelines for the Education of Library Technicians does include a list of minimum skills a graduate library technician possesses in both public and technical services procedures.19 The Ontario Association of Library Technicians issued a policy statement in 1977 which identifies a library technician as one who has acquired through a two-year program of study "specialized knowledge of library systems and methods to assist in developing, organizing, and maintaining a collection of library material."20 This document also includes a list of duties in public and technical services.
Library assistants are a diverse group whose duties vary considerably. The main research done on this group is by Mugnier who investigated "library associates" in large public libraries. She found that they not only carried out a wide variety of tasks but also filled jobs which overlapped into the beginning professional level.21
The duties of clerical employees also vary considerably from library to library. Typical duties are the preparation of materials, basic circulation routines, and typing.
Human Resources Planning
Employment planning is an essential part of managing the staffing process. It should be responsive to general environmental conditions with which the library and its parent organization must cope and reflect the organization's goals and objectives. According to French, it includes a skills inventory, an analysis of current and expected vacancies, an analysis of expected expansions or reductions in operating units, and a systematic plan for recruitment and promotion. It is a comprehensive, on-going process which includes, but is broader than, making projections.22
Since most libraries are now subject to severe budget constraints and sometimes a freeze on filling vacancies, human resources planning is more critical than ever. It is also more difficult than ever because of rapid change in the environment, factors such as government regulations and unionization, and the need to create innovative staffing arrangements not only to provide needed services, but also to ensure that librarians continue to develop professionally in spite of being caught in a "zero growth" economic situation.
Job Analysis
A major component for effective employment planning is job analysis. Strauss and Sayles state that detailed knowledge is required for every job in an organization in order to know how to recruit and whom to hire, to carry out job evaluation, to design promotional ladders, to set sensible workloads, and to evaluate staff development programs.23 Job analysis is a major undertaking requiring the specialized knowledge of the personnel administrator and a considerable input of other staff time. An alternative means for carrying out job analysis is using the services of consultants. Consultants do have the advantage of experience and expertise and can approach a study objectively. However, they may have little understanding of library work which can result in misinterpretations and/or strained relations with library staff.
Job analysis is a very complex undertaking and often uses a variety of methods. These may include using job descriptions, questionnaires, interviews, observation, and task analysis. Strauss and Sayles state that "job analysis should go beyond simply recording existing job practices: it should also question whether these practices are appropriate."24
Job descriptions or position descriptions are summaries of basic tasks performed on a job. They may contribute significantly to a job analysis study but often they are not updated frequently enough and there may be a big difference between what the job is supposed to consist of and the actual duties carried out by the encumbent.
There is ample literature on creating and using job descriptions and so they will not be treated further here. However, the difference between job descriptions and position classifications should be noted. Position classifications may be referred to as generic descriptions. They group jobs into a number of levels or classes and these are then described to feature gradations of job responsibility, skills required, etc. An example of position classification descriptions are those for general librarian, senior librarian, and principal librarian developed by the Canadian Association of College and University Libraries.25
Job Evaluation
Job evaluation is the process of determining the relative worth of the various jobs within an organization. There are many methods which may be used to enable management to determine how much one job should pay relative to others. The point system is the most widely used though ranking, job classification, and factor-comparison are also widely used. These methods are well described in personnel texts such as French26 and Strauss and Sayles,27 and are discussed in relation to libraries, for example, by Creth.28
There are many difficult problems related to job analysis and evaluation, not the least of which are human problems. Excellent communication is needed and it is essential that staff understand that it is the jobs which are being analyzed and evaluated and not the individuals performing the jobs.
Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal may be regarded as "referring to a comparatively formal, systematic program of the evaluation of employee performance, developed to improve the quality of judgment applied to that performance and to insure frequent and timely assessments."29 The importance of an effective appraisal system can not be overemphasized. However, the difficulty of designing such a system, training supervisors, and implementing the system is immense.
The subject has been and continues to be discussed at such length in the personnel administration and library literature that no attempt will be made to cover its various facets here. The student of performance appraisal in libraries would benefit especially from reading Reneker,30 McGregor,31 Rizzo,32 the ARL Spec kit on performance appraisal,33 the Guide issued by the Library Administration and Management Association,34 and either French35 or Strauss and Sayles.36 Suffice it to say that new approaches to performance appraisal rather than being judgmental are oriented toward contributing to organizational goals, opening the lines of communication between supervisors and employees, and developing staff members.
Laws Against Discrimination
Personnel administrators must be familiar with an increasing number of laws and regulations affecting the work force. Among the newest legislation is that dealing specifically with discrimination. The Canadian Human Rights Act, which came into force on March 1, 1978, applies to all federal government departments, agencies, and crown corporations, and to business and industry under federal jurisdiction.37 In areas not under federal jurisdiction protection is given by provincial human rights laws. Each of the ten provinces has its own anti-discrimination laws which are broadly similar to the federal law. The main points of the federal law will be outlined here.
The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, marital status, the fact that a person was convicted for an offence for which a pardon has been issued, and the fact that a person has a physical handicap. The Act also protects the privacy of personal information stored in government files. It ensures that any person may find out if there is personal information on those files, check its accuracy and the use to which it is being put, and request that inaccurate information be corrected.
Section 11 of the Act deals with equal wages:
- It is a discriminatory practice for an employer to establish or maintain differences in wages between male and female employees employed in the same establishment who are performing work of an equal value.
- In assessing the value of work performed by employees employed in the same establishment, the criterion to be applied is the composite of the skill, effort and responsibility required in the performance of the work and the conditions under which the work is performed."
Librarians have particular interest in this section because data continue to indicate that on the average, female librarians' salaries are lower than those for male librarians. A landmark decision was handed down by the Human Rights Commission in December 1980 as a result of a complaint from the Library Science Group of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. They complained that their occupational group, which was composed of more than 66 percent women, was paid less than historical researchers - a predominately male group whose job duties the librarians alleged were of equal value. The Canadian Human Rights Commission concluded that the librarians' complaint was justified and awarded some 470 federal government librarians equalization adjustments ranging from $500 to $2,500 annually, plus back pay of up to $5,900 each. This is the first settlement of a complaint comparing occupational groups whose members perform dissimilar jobs.
In Quebec the Charte des droits et libertés de la personne, which became law in June 1976, spells out fundamental rights and freedoms. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, civil status, religion, political convictions, language, ethnic or national origin, or social conditions.39 Another document, Equal Opportunities in Employment. Guide for Interpreting the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms With Respect to job Offers, Application Forms and Interviews with Candidates40 lists and explains which questions are or are not permissible.
Anti-discriminatory legislation is also embedded in various other taws such as labour codes. These will not be discussed here but one new piece of legislation which may have an impact on personnel practices should be noted. This is Quebec Bill 15, "An Act Respecting the Abolition of Compulsory Retirement and Providing Amendments to Certain Legislation", which was passed in April, 1982. This is the first act of its kind in Canada, but it is likely similar legislation will follow in other jurisdictions. Although one may sympathize with the intent of this legislation, it could be another factor inhibiting the opportunities for younger librarians to advance and achieve more responsibility in senior Positions.
Staff Training and Development
As staffing patterns change, new technologies are introduced, and new societal needs are expressed, library staff have an increased need for opportunities for training and development. Dunlap points out that for libraries faced with staff cuts a greater proportion of time will have to be devoted to basic tasks and this leaves less opportunity for extra programs and for staff movement, such as staff rotation. She argues convincingly for making a special effort to provide opportunities for growth for all staff and believes that as a result they will be more receptive to change because they will not feel threatened.41 Although training is time-consuming and costly, cutting the budget for it is short-sighted in the extreme. On the other hand, staff, especially professionals, have as much obligation to assume responsibility for development and continuing education as management has for encouraging it.
The needs and opportunities for training and development are amply documented in the literature. Creth provides a good overview of the factors to be considered as well as sources of additional information.42
Programs that support the development of the library's human resources are the most rewarding of any activity - for the individual, the library, and the public that the library serves - and they provide the library with an insurance policy on the largest investment it has, its people.43
Quality of Working Life
Staff development encompasses aspects of a "Quality of Working Life" program. This has become an increasingly familiar term that means different things to different people. Explicit in the concept and its application is a system of thought that stresses the humanizing and self-fulfilling potential of work.44 Job design and sociotechnical systems are sub-sets of the key issues in the quality of working life.
Job design represents an approach to designing specific jobs to make them more interesting and rewarding for the individual job holder and more productive for the organization. Sociotechnical systems represents (sic) a more comprehensive approach to designing total work systems as well as individual jobs.45
Martell provides an excellent review of the topic which has been evolving during the seventies but has only recently appeared in the literature of librarianship.46, 47, 48 His view is that "The tendency to look at tasks and jobs rather than organizational roles is a major factor that constrains efforts to develop more effective organization structures for libraries." He acknowledges that the implementation of work system design is very difficult and speculates that "the perceptual and technical skills required to develop and implement contemporary work system design may not yet exist within librarianship."49
Redesigning work is a broad undertaking which requires a holistic approach to change. It is a long and difficult task which challenges the ingenuity of all professionals and, in particular, those directly responsible for personnel administration.
Summary and Conclusion
This paper has covered a selected number of key issues in library personnel administration in the Canadian context. Some topics which are very important, such as unionization, have not been dealt with because it is expected that they will be treated in other papers. The importance of the personnel process has been stressed, including the need for expertise to enable the profession to make good use of technology and research in the behavioral sciences in adapting to change. Library managers are faced with the difficult problem of improving the effectiveness of their staffs while at the same time providing an opportunity for staff development in times of zero growth or retrenchment. There is a real danger of unfulfilled expectations leading to lowered morale and its attendant problems. Some suggestions have been made for improved personnel practices. However, there is no "one right way." Each library must devise its own strategy for maximizing the potential of its human resources.

Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Part selection was very easy with the detailed diagram that was provided on the website.The diagram was also very helpful in the instalation. The bottom sprayer neeeded a new bushing and "wing nut"; very easy to install less than 5 mimutes. The top sprayer needed to be unscrewed and replaced with the new assembly. Less than 10 minutes.
Check your card against your invoice. They added an extra 1.53 dollars that wasn't on my invoice.Their is really nothing to explain. 1. Upper Spray arm It's just removed 2 screws and replaced the old with the new.2. Lower spray arm bearing and seal, Removed center wing bolt, removed arm removed and replaced seal and bearing.
I removed the bolt that holds on the bottom sprayer, removed the worn bushing, replaced the bushing, reinstalled the sprayer and tightened the bolt. It was that quick and easy.
The problem was the water powered lower swing arm bearing (bushing) had worn out (had rubbed away part of it's flat surface). First I removed the large screw with the big flat finger grip flanges on the top side of the lower swing arm assembly. this assemble looks like a big hub cap. Lift the assemble up and off the attachment stem. The bearing goes on top and the seal on the bottom. Both just push in place with your fingers. Reinstall the assemble on the attaching pivot point that it was removed from and secure with the large thumb screw first removed. Spin the assembley to check for any binding. Do not over tighten the thumb screw. Water pressure is all that drives this assembly and it should always turn with no obstructions.
First I ordered the correct parts. The repair involved removing Wash Spray Arm inserting the Lower Spray Arm Seal, peplacing the Wash Spray Arm, then inserting Wash Spray Arm Bearing Ring, the inserting and hand tightening Wash Spray Arm Retainer Nut.
After looking at the sprayarm, changing detergents and washing every speck off the dishes only to have them come out dirty I decided to replace the sprayarm seal and bearing ring. I didn't really need the sprayarm seal, but figured I had come that far I may as well. It went really well and now I have clean dishes. I spent $26 on parts but a service call is $70 and I still would have had to replace the parts.
unscred by hand wash arm are removed old bearing ring, replaced it and re assembled the wash arm.
Thanks for the quick survice. The part came in two days. I looked all over town for 4 days for the same part. We will use you site from now on for all of our repairs. All I had to do was screw the new parts inplace ,and we were up and running. Thanks Jack & Sue
I took the old Wash arm retainer nut out and put the new Wash arm bearing ring and Nut in place and hand tightened. It was fixed in less than a minute. Parts were perfect.
I removed the old parts and replaced them with new parts. It failed to solve the problem.
very easy to fix..i replaced many other parts while i was at it..figured i d "upgrade". washes much better now....less noisy..
Called my son in law and he did it
Installed all parts. Dish washer still leaks. Wasted my time and money.

Soul food may lie at the heart of African-Americans' cultural identity, but the black community's love affair with the cuisine is deep-rooted, complex and, in some cases, deadly.
The film "Soul Food Junkies" puts this culinary tradition under the microscope to examine its significance and consequences.
A screening of the hour- long film and a panel discussion will be held 5:30-8 p.m. Thursday in the Medical University of South Carolina Basic Science Building, 173 Ashley Ave. downtown.
The event is preceded by a tour of the MUSC Urban Farm at Bee and President streets starting at 5 p.m.
The events are free and open to the public.

41 comments:
Using the trader joe bags is a genius idea! :)ReplyDelete
How beautiful! I carry my paint sample books around too. Think I will steal the sample idea for next year! Merry Christmas and congrats to Sasha, couldn't go to a better blogger!ReplyDelete
Congrats to Sasha!!!ReplyDelete
LOVE all the wrapping ideas!! I think this will be my LAST YEAR buying traditional wrapping paper. (I just bought some at the dollar tree, so I gotta use it up!)
You should link up with this Pin-Ter-Vention party (stop pinning and start doing) here: http://mccallclan.blogspot.com/
OH! I rec'd the magazine and will be blogging about it tomorrow! to say I love it would be an understatement. :o) Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I saw on Pinterest how to make your own baker's twine. Basically get a fresh ball of twine and run a running line around it with a red marker before unrolling it.ReplyDelete
If you live close to a Crate and Barrel they sell a huge spool of red and white baker's twine for pretty cheap... much cheaper than any place else I've found....ReplyDelete
Ok that paint chip idea is being stolen from you right now Mary.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your evening of wrapping with hubby. I hope you ans your family have a wonderful Christmas. I do appreciate being on your blog roll. Your blogroll sends lots of traffic my way.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. I'm just stopping by random blogs today and checking them out. Also wishing you folk's a healthy and happy new years. Richard from an Amish community in Pennsylvania.ReplyDelete
WHAT????!!!! Oh my stinkin word!!!! You totally caught me completely unawares as I was just reading along, loving all your wrapping words, and I had totally forgotten you were announcing the winner at the end too, and then I saw my name!!! I almost screamed but I have a little girl cuddled up next to me on the couch, who's half awake so that restrained me. THANK YOU!!! I am so excited! (I never win things!!)ReplyDelete
And I was thinking (before I got all distracted) that I have had pretty good luck (not during the month of December) finding red and white striped yarn that looks just like that at yarn stores. I think it's called "cream and sugar" brand. They make it in green and white, and blue and white and yellow and white. (I have all those colors and love it.) Just FYI.
Thank you thank you thank you! :)
I hate wrapping. If you lived closer I'd trade chores for wrapping. I like to clean, organize, whatever you need I'd be willing. Okay well most things I would do. I don't climb ladders or do windows. Or toilets. Or basements. Watch a movie or read a magazine for ya...I can handle that. hahaReplyDelete
Just beautiful. I love the simplicity too, and I think you've inspired me to go back to that. The gray and white is stunning! Right now I'm using Martha Stewart's bakers twine, but I saw an online source that I pinned awhile back... I'll have to find the link. They have every color under the rainbow on giant spools!! Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
Ok. Divinetwine.com is the site- 240 yards on a spool for $15. You can also get a variety pack and save money. :) happy shopping!ReplyDelete
Hello, friend. Love the paint chip idea...so perfect for you! I use the Martha Stewart baker's twine from Michael's, it's not a huge roll, but UT has lasted awhile for me so far and it's around $3 I think. Have fun tonight!!ReplyDelete
It has, not UT...what?? Crazy i phone!ReplyDelete
Wonderful wrapping what a beautiful gift to receive xxxxReplyDelete
I ADORE the idea of having a wrapping day! How fun is that? I just do it as I go but I like the idea of looking forward to a designated night! A great tradition to start! Also, I just grabbed a great twine deal from pick your plum...here's the link...ReplyDelete
It's 240 yards for $4.95 each! When I bought them they were out of all colors but yellow, orange and purple but at least you can start getting a collection of them going on the cheap. I did not have yellow or orange yet so I was excited to get them on the cheap!
Just relaxing after a bit of wrapping myself!ReplyDelete
These ideas are beautiful...the gray is my favorite!
Sounds like a fun night to me...and thanks for such great gift wrapping ideas! Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Try McMaster and Storm's etsy shop 'Swan and Shears' for the bakery twine. They sell it by the roll and it last FOREVER!! My kids are forever stealing lengths of it for all kinds of stuff and I cannot imagine it getting all anytime soon!ReplyDelete
Boy sounds like you got a keeper in that man!!ReplyDelete
I love all the wrappings, so sweet and can be altered for other occasions.
Thanks for sharing your many talents!1
Very pretty gift wrapping ideas. How lucky to have a hubby that helps wrap..what fun. I'm sure all of your gifts will be gorgeous. I've gotten as far as paper with names on the backs but no embellishments as of yet. Can't wait to see your gifts. Hugs-CarrieReplyDelete
I don't know how you wrAP ALL THOSE GREAT GIFTS IN ONE NIGHT. Love you ideasReplyDelete
Merry Christmas
i LOVE bakers twine as well. This is where I get all my bakers twine - a wholesale packing supply store, and they have a great selection of colors.ReplyDelete
What lovely ideas for wrapping gifts. I hate to admit it, but every year I'm down to the wire on buying and wrapping, so there's no time to do anything other than the coordinated rolls that come in a 4-pack. Every year I swear it will be different, but it never happens.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to the lucky winner!
love the trader joe's recycled wrap. great use of such cool bags.ReplyDelete

Zohn, who documented his journey on video for PEOPLE.com, will serve as spokesperson for the Survivor Stand Up team – an alliance with the hit CBS reality show and the Stand Up to Cancer movement.
"The Survivor family has been raising money for so many different causes, and we thought it was a great idea that Survivor created what is, in essence, their own charity," Zohn, 36, tells PEOPLE. "Once our friend Jenn Lyon passed away from cancer this year, and I was diagnosed, it really sparked us to jump into action."
Adds Zohn, "I think we can make a real difference in this fight against cancer and hopefully outwit cancer and vote it off the planet."
Joining him in the fundraising efforts: fan favorites, including Rupert Boneham, "Boston Rob" Mariano, Parvati Shallow, James "JT" Thomas Jr., Benjamin "Coach" Wade, Russell Hantz, reigning Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine and Zohn's girlfriend and Survivor: Amazon winner Jenna Morasca.
The goal, Zohn says, is for people to continue logging onto their Web site, where he will be blogging, donate "whatever they want" and get involved in charity events the former cast will be hosting.
"It's a long-term alliance, not like a short-term alliance," says Morasca. "Or one that would involve Russell!"
Zohn plans to join other celebrities when the Stand Up to Cancer telecast returns Sept. 10.

The Islamic Center of Washington: The Most Famous Mosque and Cultural Center in USA
Muslims in America:
America has a number of Muslims living in it, and just like in any other country, people belonging to various religious sects are allowed to practice their faith; similarly, in America too, a large number of 'practicing' Muslims can be found.
For this purpose, there are mosques and Islamic cultural centers located throughout America, in its various states. Like for example, In Chicago Mosque Maryam and Mosque Sadie are quite famous. Likewise, in Dearborn the Islamic Center of America is famous.
In Washington DC, which is the capital of America, we have the Islamic Center of Washington.
Location and Inauguration:
The Islamic Center of Washington is a mosque, as well as, an Islamic cultural center. It is located on Embassy Row on Massachusetts Avenue, just at the east of the bridge over Rock Creek.
Though the concept of this Islamic Center was conceived in 1944, it officially opened in 1957. At that time, it was easily considered as the largest Muslim place of worship in the entire Western Hemisphere. The Friday prayers are attended by what has been reported about 6000 Muslims!
How it Began:
In 1944, at the time of its conception, the Turkish ambassador Munir Ertegun has passed away, and it was realized that there was no mosque where his funeral could be held. Then it was decided by the ambassador of Egypt, Mohammed Issa Abu Al Hawa, that he would provide the required funds to build one major mosque in the capital of America.
In 1948, the work for the mosque began. The project was completed in 1954. The diplomatic community of the Washington played a very important role in making this project successful.
The Contribution of Other Countries:
A lot of other countries, helped in their own way, to build the Islamic Center of Washington. A beautiful, grand looking bronze chandelier was donated by Egypt. Egypt also sent some of its most qualified and talented calligraphic artists who wrote the Quranic verses on the walls of the mosque and even on its ceiling.
The tiles came in from Turkey. Turkey was also considerate enough to send people who were expert at installing those tiles. Iran also played it part by donating beautiful Persian rugs, which the mosque still has.
The American-Muslim community was also in full support of this project, naturally.
The Architecture of the Building:
The architect of the mosque is beautiful, to say the least. The design and architecture of the building was taken care of by an Italian architect, Mario Rossi. The building is white in color, and it is very beautiful.
The center, till date, continues to be controlled by a board of governors. The board of governors is made up by various ambassadors. The building is surrounded by an array of flags of the various Islamic nations of the world.
The Popularity of this Mosque:
The mosque has been visited by a number of famous personalities, which includes several presidents. The greatest visit was when President George W. Bush arrived at the mosque, on September 17, 2001.
This visit was necessary because just a few days ago before it, the famous but very sad 9/11 incident had taken place. George W Bush's visit to this place was to assure the Americans that the majority of Muslims are peaceful and are not at all promoting violence. His visit was even broadcasted on national television. Therefore, this mosque became very popular.
Islamic Courses:
Since it is not only a mosque, where Muslims can offer their prayers and listen to sermons, it is a cultural center, therefore, the place contains a library, as well. And even classrooms!
The Islamic center of Washington offers a number of courses related to Islam are offered. Arabic language is also taught to those who are interested. Since people know that Quran was revealed in Arabic, hence they are more willing to learn this language and love to interpret Quran directly without needing its translation.
The Islamic Center of Washington still remains a very recognized mosque where people not only offer their prayers, but opportunities to gain Islamic wisdom and knowledge are also made available to them. Not only is the building beautiful, it is also serving its purpose. It definitely is a very important place for the Muslims living in Washington.

New Year's Resolutions 2013
What is yours for the coming new year? How do you plan on reaching your goals?
Also get my eyes checked. My visions been getting blurry and I have horrible anxiety so I have to get them checked soon.
And to do a little garden with the kids this year, a few flowers and veggies to start.
I don't make resolutions.
Although my goal for this year is to finish paying off some old debts. If we can stick to the payment plan I have set up for us, we'll have them paid by October.
I want to spend much more time with the kids and enjoy every moment of them that I can. To do this I have to start telling more people no (which I have a hard time with). Second, I want to be able to save more which is a challenge since I'm on such a tight budget. Not sure how I'll make this one happen yet.
I do not make resolutions but rather goals to be more patience, stay healthy and live life to the fullest .
I make goals.
I've got a horse that I've been sporadically training for the past 5 years and I REALLY need to buckle down this year and get serious with him. I'll probably be thrown several times.
I also have a couple of financial goals: to save cash to pay for all new subfloors and flooring for most of the house, and to save enough cash to visit our nephew in Sept. for his wedding celebration.
Healthwise, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
Then again, life has a way of changing my plans.
I am looking forward to getting our big project now , we have two professes working in their area of knowledge with us to get it finish, which I believe with be finish no later then March . Plus I am looking forward to the changes it will bring with it.
Also I want to lose some weight for better control of my diabetes
My New Year's Resolution is to change all the calendars and other date paraphernalia to 2013 on or about Jan 1st 2013. This is a big deal for someone superstitious about the number 13 like me.

Dallas police say suspected City Hall 'office creeper' is in custody
Dallas police have identified a man suspected of stealing two laptops with sensitive data from City Hall last month and said he is in custody on unrelated charges.
The man's name was not yet released, but police say he fits the profile of an "office creeper," generally defined as a thief who sneaks into an office building by blending in and then steals wallets, purses and laptops.
The suspect in the City Hall case struck on the afternoon of Nov. 12 and took the two laptops, valued at a total of $3,400.
Dallas police say there has been a recent boom in these types of thefts, including daily reports of the crimes. Investigators recently circulated a list of the top "office creepers" to businesses and patrol officers.

Volunteer firefighters save two homes from grass fireUPDATED 6:04 PM CST Jan 30, 2014
A grass fire nearly destroyed two homes in Madison CountyVideo Transcript
FIRE STARTED TODAY. AND DARBY IT NEARLY BURNED TWO HOMES? YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW CLOSE THIS FIRE CAME TO REACHING THESE HOMES OVER HERE. AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE EFFORTS OF THE FIVE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS THAT RESPONDED TO THIS FIRE THAT DISASTER WAS AVERTED. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT STARTED THIS FIREBUT IT SPREAD QUICKLY. WITH LITTLE TO NO RAIN IN 3 WEEKS, AND LOTS OF WIND, WILD FIRES ARE BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM. AND OUT HERE, MOST FIRES ARE FOUGHT BY VOLUNTEER FIREMAN. MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, WITH FULL TIME JOBS, CALLED UPON, DAY OR NIGHT, TO HELP SAVE THEIR NEIGHBORS THE FLAMES. "What's that like to have to drop everything you're doing and come and fight a fire?" (Gary Hull, Fire Chief of Knob Hill Fire Department) "We're fortunate enough that a lot of our fire fighters are farmers and they can lay their stuff down and go, but, you're always shorthanded because it catches you at a bad time. It's never when everyone's home that we have these fires." GARY HULL VOLUNTEERED FOR 30 YEARS BEFORE HIS PROMOTION TO FIRE CHIEF AT NOB HILL. TODAY HIS DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH FOUR OTHERS, BATTLED THIS FIRE NEAR HINDSVILLE. IN TOTAL, 25 WERE VOLUNTEERS, ONLY ONE WAS FULL TIME. "When we're called we have the duty to respond" HULL ADMITS IT HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT FEW WEEKS. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY DAY THERE'S ANOTHER GRASS FIRE. AND SO FAR, MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN CAUGHT EARLY. "You never wanna go to a fire that has a death or an injury. It's a those are hard fires to fight." NOW THIS FIRE STARTED IN AN OLD TREE NURSERY, THAT'S NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. IT'S STILL NOT CERTAIN WHAT CAUSED IT LIVE IN HINDSVILLE TONIGHT, DARBY BYBEE, 40/29 NEWS. EXPERTS SAY IT WILL TAKE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN TO DECREASE THE FIRE DANGER RIGHT NOW.

Show #3850
Mark Harmon, Amy Schumer, and Luke Bryan.
PLUS: Barbara Walters to retire; Navy Budget Cuts; The Ice Cream Man is here; Chris Christie vs. a doorway; Stooge of the Night; a Top Ten List; Ask A Cicada; and sitting in with the band, Eric Burdon.
" . . . . and now, Queen of the Nile . . . . . . . David Letterman!"
-"OJ Simpson wants a new trial. This time, he's demanding an L.A. jury."
-"OJ getting his conviction overturned is a long shot, but he figured he'd take a stab at it." I saw this one coming but hoped I was seeing wrong. It was too easy, too obvious, and yet the audience gave a big reaction. Eh, what do I know?
Barbara Walters has announced her retirement. She broke down many doors for females in the broadcasting industry, but in the early days of her career she couldn't even let it be known that she was a woman. We take a look at one of her earliest broadcasts.
In this black and white footage, we see her co-anchoring the news. She is in disguise, with a mustache and beard. She goes under the alias, "Bob Walters."
Back then, people apparently were more gullible.
Mark Harmon is on the show tonight, star of the #1 show on TV "NCIS". And that brings us to this bit of news. Due to the sequester, there have been many cutbacks, particularly in the military. We take a look at this:
ANNOUNCE: "After budget cuts caused by the sequestration, the Navy can only attack enemy vessels by dropping this."
Cut to Louie Anderson doing a cannonball into a pool. Thank you, "Splash."
ANNOUNCE: "This has been 'A Late Show Fat Joke.' "
An ice cream man enters. How can you not love an ice cream man? There he is in his nice, crisp white uniform and black bow tie.
DAVE: "Hi. Can I help you?"
ICE CREAM MAN (uh, oh, he forgot his line) "Yeah, uhhh. . . . . . I was supposed to come out here . . . . but I can't remember why."
DAVE: "You can't remember why you're supposed to come out here? You're dressed like an ice cream man. Maybe it had something to do with ice cream, or ice cream trucks. Something like that, maybe?"
ICE CREAM MAN: "That would make sense, but I can't remember. I missed rehearsal."
DAVE: "Yeah, well, I wasn't here for rehearsal, either. What about . . . was it a joke about me being old? How about that? Was that it?"
ICE CREAM MAN: "No."
DAVE: "Uhh, maybe it was about the quality of tonight's show?"
ICE CREAM MAN: "No, although the show does suck."
DAVE: "Hmmm, was it one of those things that makes no sense to anybody? One of those deals where a guy shows up, nobody gets the joke and then he leaves? Was it one of those?"
ICE CREAM MAN: "Yes! That's it exactly! Man, I'm really sorry about this."
DAVE: "That's OK. It's all fine. Thanks, anyway."
The ice cream man exits . . . and then quickly re-enters.
ICE CREAM MAN: "Wait! Wait! I got it! I remember!"
DAVE: "OK, go ahead."
ICE CREAM MAN: "It was about you being the real Mr. Softee . . . . you know, like you're impotent. Yeah, that's it! I'll get it right tomorrow." Exits.
Dave is happy to get that straightened out . . . not sure if pun was intended.
Here's something new. It's "Can Governor Chris Christie Get Through a Doorway Without Turning Sideways?"
ART CARD: "Can Governor Chris Christie Get Through a Doorway Without Turning Sideways?"
We see Governor Christie on "Rock Center." He is giving a tour through the house he lived in while in college. He nears a doorway and . . . . . he turns slightly sideways to get through.
ART CARD: "Can Governor Chris Christie Get Through a Doorway Without Turning Sideways?"
Sitting in with the band tonight, the great Eric Burdon of the Animals. His new album is entitled, "'Til Your River Runs Dry."
Time now for "Stooge of the Night!"
Tonight's Stooge: Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota.
DAVE: "South Dakota Senator John Thune voted 'NO' on gun reform legislation despite the fact that 79% of voters in his state are in favor of background checks for gun buyers. Senator Thune has an A-plus rating from the NRA, which is awarded to those who are regularly seen wearing a coonskin cap.
John Thune . . . . he's our 'Stooge of the Night.'"
TOP TEN: THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU ON A PLANE – On a flight from Los Angeles to New York, an American Airlines pilot had to make an emergency landing in Kansas City because a woman passenger refused to stop singing Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"
5. "Now that I think about it, I definitely didn't pack my own bag."
3. "Excuse me for a moment while I light my underpants."
He's the star of the #1 show on television, NCIS. And he's a real live hero. Some years back there was a bad car accident outside his house with two teenagers trapped inside the burning car. One crawled out. Mark ran to get a sledgehammer and busted the car window. He crawled inside to free the trapped teen in the upside down burning car.
Me? Was I ever a hero? I once stomped out a small brush fire. I also once discovered a bottle of Pepsi someone forgot in the freezer and removed it before it exploded.
Mark is the son of college football great and Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon. It's tough to live up to that but Mark did pretty well, playing at UCLA. We learn that although Mark played Division 1 football, he feels baseball may have been his better sport. He played catcher in high school. He became a catcher while playing shortstop. There was a meeting on the mound and Mark said to the struggling catcher that he could do better. Right there they switched positions. On the mound, Mark got into the catching gear and that was that.
Being from Los Angeles, a player for the famed UCLA Bruins, and the son of the popular sports broadcaster, Mark got to know many professional athletes. One was Rick Sutcliffe, a pitcher for the Dodgers and then the Chicago Cubs. Rick was a practical joker and once cut crotch out of Mark's pants just before a press event. Years later to get even, Mark paid to erect a huge billboard in Chicago that included Rick's high school yearbook photo. Nobody wants their high school yearbook picture out there. Did Rick know it was Mark's doing? Mark says there were so many people who wanted revenge against Rick that he was never able to figure it out.
NCIS – Tuesdays at 8:00 on our own CBS.
Oh, and NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
It's cicada season and one trillion of these fascinating insects are emerging after 17 years underground. We're very lucky to have with us tonight one of the cicadas to answer some audience questions. It's something we call "Ask A Cicada." Enter a cicada. Dave welcomes the cicada.
CICADA: "Bzzzzzzzzzzzz. Ahh, I'm just pulling your chain. I speak the King's English. Glad to be here, Dave."
DAVE: "I have some questions that our audience would like answered by a cicada. First one, 'What brings you here tonight?'"
CICADA: "Frankly, I'm tired of the only bug-eyed freak on television being Andy Dick." (rimshot) "Still a reference, people!"
DAVE: "What have you been doing since you were here last?"
CICADA: "I've been dormant for 17 years. I'm pretty much an insect version of the New York Mets." (rimshot)
DAVE: "What's the difference between a locust and a cicada?"
CICADA: "About 50 bucks." (rimshot) "I don't get it either."
DAVE: "Why do cicadas stay in the ground for 17 years at a time?"
CICADA: "I believe I answered that question on 'Hollywood Squares' in 1996. Check the tape."
We see a video of the cicada on "Hollywood Squares." In the clip, the cicada answers: "I'll tell you why we stay in the ground so long . . . . to avoid Jehovah's Witnesses."
CICADA: "Yeah, I killed on 'Squares.'" (rimshot)
DAVE: "Do you ever get sick of making that endless, annoying droning sound that drives everyone crazy?"
CICADA (no answer)
DAVE: (repeating) "Do you ever get sick of making that endless, annoying droning sound that drives everyone crazy?"
CICADA (no answer)
DAVE: "Uhh, cicada?"
CICADA: "Oh, sorry, I thought that question was for you." (rimshot) "Hey-Ohhh!"
DAVE: "You come back every 17 years to find a mate. What if you don't fine one?"
CICADA: "If I don't, it's OK. I've got six hands. I'm all good." (rimshot)
Exiting – "Cicada out! But remember . . . (singing "I Will Always Love You")
Dave tries to throw to commercial but is repeatedly interrupted by the cicada's singing offstage.
Going into commercial, Photo Club photo of cameraman Dan Flaherty.
Music from Eric Burdon.
She has her own show on the Comedy Central, "Inside Amy Schumer." She's just off her nationwide comedy tour. What has she learned? Amy finds that each city have their own style. Miami is not a place to gain confidence.
Everyone there is so beautiful they look like exotic birds. The men in Philadelphia are very masculine but . . . . . like they go to tanning beds. They're meatheads, but they get their eye brows waxed. If you say the hated New York Mets third baseman David Wright is cute, they'll agree. Las Vegas runs the gamut. You will see the most beautiful beings on earth alongside what appears to be sea creatures.
"Inside Amy Schumer" – Tuesday nights at 10:30 PM on the Comedy Central.
LUKE BRYAN: The Academy of Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year performed his hit single, "Crash My Party." His new album will be in stores this summer.
And that was our show for Monday, May 13, 2013.
Former Late Show writer reprised his 2004 role as a cicada for us tonight. But hold it! Cicadas make an appearance every 17 years. 2004 was only 9 year ago. What gives? The 2004 cicadas were from a different "family" than the cicada family emerging this year. In 2004, it was the Brood 2. This year's cicadas are the Brood 10. Cicacdas in these parts are the Brood 2, the Brood 10 and the Brood 7. This year's Brood seems to be the biggest.
Now you know just a little bit more of the story.
Yankees Joba Chamberlain could have fixed this whole thing if he just apologized. Looks like he blew another save opportunity.
Eric Burdon! How could we not have him on last week with Jack Hanna?
TOP TEN: THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR FROM THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU ON A PLANE – My informational blue card read the woman wouldn't stop singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." Dave skipped right over the Whitney Houston part and correctly credited Dolly Parton. Yes, it's Dolly's song and she had success with it but it was Whitney who made it a worldwide sensation. I thought of going with Dolly Parton but I figured more people would know the song if I mentioned Whitney. I should have gone with Dolly. A comedian should always be sensitive to properly crediting the creator. BUZZZ!
Nothing like a Game 7 Stanley Cup Game. Last night I hunkered down in front of my huge screen Epson moviemate projection TV for the Ranger/Washington Capital game. Hockey playoffs are the best; Game 7 hockey playoffs are the absolute best. The Rangers took a
1-0 first period lead, then 2-0, 3-0, and then 4 and 5 to nothing. It was great for the Rangers, but my not being a huge Ranger fan left the game a bit of a bore. I clicked over to the Boston Bruin/Toronto Maple Leaf game 7. There, the Bruins were leading 4-1 in the 3rd period, another yawner. My energy was dwindling and I was fighting sleep. I clicked here and there. Back to the Bruin/Leaf game and it was now 4-2 late in the game. I decided to watch the last 4 minutes of the game just to see the traditional handshake at the end of the game. I was a bit surprised that the Bruins home crowd was a bit sedate even though they were down 4-2. I always thought a 2-goal deficit late in a hockey game could be overcome with some luck. Get a goal with a minute left and you're right back in it. And that's what the Bruins did; a goal with a minute-and-a-half left. Now the Bruin fans were back into it, at least those who hadn't left yet. And then with 50 seconds left the Bruins tie it up. That goal was a "jump up from the couch" moment. This Game 7 was going into overtime! But even then, the Bruins had a golden opportunity to win it in regulation. They missed a chance to win it in the final seconds. Well, the Bruins had to wait for their win in overtime. Great comeback; awful for the Leafs. If the Leafs won the faceoff after the Bruins made it 4-3 . . . . yup, all it would have taken was winning one more faceoff.
The next morning, I turn on the Toronto sports radio station for a listen. It was what you would expect.
Sports --- the best reality show on TV.
Has anybody compared this Bruin / Maple Leaf game with the Miami of Ohio / Boston University NCAA Frozen Four Championship game in 2009? BU scored 2 goals in the final minute of regulation and then won it in OT.
Hey, now, Rangers / Bruins, an original 6 playoff series on tap!
I'd be really excited about the Islanders future if Dipietro worked out.
Oh, and the Maple Leaf players will get over this dreadful finish to the season. It will linger in the souls of the fans forever.
It's his birthday today, my daddy, John "Big Red" McIntee.
This concludes another installment of CAMEO MENTION OF A WAHOO READER

That was sick I wish I hadn't watched it
This is probably the best of the Reading Rainbow series out of the first 4 and including the spanish version, but is still terrible, the idea of the guy in the wheelchair was a good one but you made an awful flash movie of it that was just stupid, and seeing the guy naked with the children was just sick and something I wish I hadn't seen, you could have done a much better job here, what you did here was just awful and stupid.

canned salmon, tuna
protein powder (I don't use this, but seems like it might work in a pinch)
jerky, nuts, pork rinds, dried fruit
hmm... this is tough if most of your diet is fresh produce and/or requires a freezer!
Some time back, I put together a 3 month supply of canned goods and distilled water in order to have emergency supplies in case of a catastrophe. Since going primal, I went back and reviewed the contents of that supply and was appalled at some of the choices. Rather than recount the specifics, let's just say that I have to eliminate about half of it.
So, here is the question: how can you put together a reasonably balanced emergency food supply while remaining pretty much primal?
Live your life and love your life. It's the only one you get.
canned salmon, tuna
protein powder (I don't use this, but seems like it might work in a pinch)
jerky, nuts, pork rinds, dried fruit
hmm... this is tough if most of your diet is fresh produce and/or requires a freezer!

A proud member of PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals
Living in earthquake country, I keep a few summer sausages in the back of my pantry just in case. That's in addition to my regularly rotating stock of canned tuna, protein powder and preserved veggies. And of course, a 3 day supply of water, a manual can opener, candles/flashlights and my first aid kit.
Honestly, I think if push came to shove most of us would eat beans or rice or whatever. (I'd stay gluten free though, I can't help out in an emergency if I'm hanging out in the "outhouse" the whole time)
I have coconut milk, canned fish, canned veggies, dried fruit, nuts/seeds, and nut butter. We also grow a garden and have chickens and beef.
Don't forget that your fridge and freezer will keep food cold for quite a while as long as you keep the door closed as much as possible.
Yeah, I grew up in earthquake country too. It's just something you deal with.
Dig a well. And a root cellar.
1. A stack of spears.
2. A book of recipes for common household pets (puppies, dogs, cats, ferrets, etc).
3. A deep chest freezer.
4. A generator to run the freezer.
5. Plenty of diesel to run the generator. (research how long diesel lasts in closed containers)
6. Plenty of frozen fish, fowl, and hooved critters packed in said freezer
Smoked and jerked meat, dehydrated veggies, bags of white rice (not primal, but in an emergency), canned meat, canned veggies, a good supply of root veggies. Gallons and gallons and gallons of water.
Coleman fuel - lots of it - to go with your Coleman grill.
I have
grocery store variety canned meats, lots of different kinds (tuna, chicken, salmon, beef, etc.)
grocery store canned veggies
grocery store canned fruits
dry beans (variety)
rice (variety)
and yes
flour, sugar, powdered eggs, etc.
If no one else has food, they can eat what I usually don't
I'm sure in an emergency I'd eat my share of bread and biscuits

Three months!? Sheesh, if something that catastrophic happens, I think food will not be the problem... It won't even take that long to load up the Space Ark and leave Earth...
There is a Space Ark.... Isn't there?
there's a thread somewhere around here called "caveman cache" with a lot of great ideas. keep your non-primal food stores. they can be of use to others, or yourself if you run out of the good stuff. donate it to a food bank right before it expires.
my primal journal:
I just switched to primal and I was wondering this same thing! I think I'll just start stocking up on the stuff people mentioned above. I do have quite a bit of standard storage food but I won't get rid of it, because it would be better to have it than nothing at all. And if nothing else, it will be a good chicken feed.
One of my goals is to get to the point where I don't have to concern myself with that. As in, be living on the land and raising my own meat, veggies and fruit. It's a slow process but we'll get there.
