Is Your Loved One Really Getting the Care You Expect?
By Amy Goyer , March 07, 2013 02:00 PM
Recently, there has been a great deal of controversy about an employee in an independent living facility in California who refused to do CPR on a resident, citing company policy forbidding her to do so. The resident later died, sparking many questions about types of facilities, the kind or "level" of care provided and their policies. Several investigations have been launched as a result of the incident. The facility at first said the employee followed policy, but later released a statement saying, "The incident resulted from a complete misunderstanding of our practice with regards to emergency medical care for our residents."
As I monitored the story via online and TV news, Twitter and Facebook, I realized that many people don't fully understand the levels of care in senior housing. They don't know about the extent of individualized supervision and support offered, or the wide variety of policies in place in these facilities. Whether that independent living facility had a policy in place preventing staff from administering CPR or not, it brings up this question for caregivers: Do you know what your loved one's facility would do?
This is the first of a two-part post that I hope will help caregivers, as well as their loved ones who live in facilities, sort all of this out. First, I'll outline 6 types of facilities your loved one might consider - or already be living in. My next post will address the information you need to get about care and policies.
There are many different levels of care and options when it comes to senior living facilities. Staffing, services and policies can vary greatly. Be aware that there are varying names for these levels of care in different states, as well as varied state regulations and monitoring systems. These are a few of the common types:
- Independent Living - Residents have their own apartments and live independently, with some services provided such as meals, housecleaning and activities. Some (not all) have security and others offer some personalized services that they charge for on an a la carte basis, meaning you pay for each additional service on top of the base fees. These services may include medication reminders, help with bathing, laundry, etc. There may not be any medical professionals on staff. There is usually very little supervision because residents are able to live independently. Many residents in this type of facility may still drive, work and go out on their own.
- Assisted Living - This is a step up in care from independent living, but services and costs offered can vary greatly. Personal services may be included in a flat fee but they are often offered on an a la carte basis. Assisted living offers just that - assistance and not much more. Generally, staff will provide assistance in the morning and evening with bathing and dressing as well as medication management, meals, some activities and there are varying levels of supervision at other times. Don't assume someone will be checking on your loved one all day, or that staff will be at your loved one's beck and call. A resident will have a call-button to get help, but in reality I've observed response time can be as much as half an hour. It's really not 24-hour hands-on care or attention. For most facilities, residents can still come and go as they please so don't assume someone will know if your loved one wanders off.
- Skilled Nursing - Often referred to as "nursing homes," residents in these facilities require a higher level of medical care. They offer meals and activities like other levels of care but more supervision (at least in theory.) Residents capabilities will vary - some will be bedridden, others will be up and about. Residents have call buttons, but again, I've seen it take as much as half an hour before someone responds. They are often short-staffed (even if they meet state standards) and not able to provide as much attention to your loved one as you might like.
- Memory Care - Many facilities have a special program for those with dementia. They offer meals, activities, assistance with bathing, dressing and medications, and there is generally a higher staff-to-resident ratio and more supervision. The most important features here are security measures to ensure no one can leave the grounds and get lost. But again, don't expect your loved one will have someone constantly by their side unless you hire a private-pay aide.
- Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) - These usually, but not always, include all of the previous levels on one campus. Residents can move between levels of care as needed. These facilities often offer some extra services to those in independent living because they do have nurses and other staff on the campus.
- Group Homes or Board and Care Homes - A neighborhood home setting in which several people are cared by the homeowner or staff who live there. The services offered vary greatly in reality, but they offer meals and usually help with bathing, dressing and medications. Some activities may be offered. They may offer more one-to-one care because they are smaller, however they may offer less because they have fewer staff. The attention your loved one receives may vary a great deal from home to home.
Wherever your loved one lives, make sure you get a realistic picture of the level of care and supervision for your loved one, as well as the quality of life and the facility's detailed policies. Never assume your idea of care is the reality. AARP has lots of great information about all of these housing options and more in the online AARP Caregiving Resource Center.
My next post will outline key questions to ask to ensure you fully understand what will - and won't - be offered for your loved one, regardless of their level of care or type of housing.

I am a novice photographer. I currently have a Nikon D5100, one kit lens, and a 50mm AF-s lens. I am thinking about switching to a canon t4i or maybe a t3i. I have had trouble shooting in manual mode and having it be in focus on the Nikon. I wait for the green light in the view finder to appear when turning the focus ring, but when I upload I find I have not caught the image in focus. (Yes, I have selected my focus point). Also, I am a little frustrated with the lens offerings for this model with the built in auto focus motor being included in so few lenses and having to pay more for them as well.
I am trying out a canon t4i right now. It is definitely louder, feels cheaper, but I like the dedicated buttons for WB and ISO and the touch screen and it seems a little easier to focus in manual mode. The question is will I be happier in the long run if I jump from Nikon to Canon? I don't really care about video in either model. Any thoughts on this?

If your typical San Francisco convention-goer is cruising for anything when he's in town, he's probably up in the Tenderloin scouting hookers. Not Fork Parker. The CEO spokesmascot for Devolver Digital (publishers of Serious Sam) will be trawling SoMa outside the Moscone Center in that there bus, listening to new pitches for the next great indie game.
Devolver's looking for partners for a to-be-announced new IP coming out later this year, but also is interested in forming new relationships with developers who have other ideas. The bus is the pitch studio, so be sure to speak loudly over the diesel engine. If your presentation goes nowhere, you'll still get free nachos, says Devolver. Free lobster nachos. And a bus transfer taking you to the Tenderloin.
If you're serious about pitching Devolver, appointments can be made through firstname.lastname@example.com, or by tweeting @ForkParker. More info also is available at www.pitchforkparker.com or devolverdigital.com/pitchfork.

Established in 1983, the land known as Las Casas de la Selva is the home of Tropic Ventures Sustainable Forestry & Rainforest Enrichment Project, in Patillas, Puerto Rico. Silvicultural techniques developed and applied at Las Casas de la Selva over the last three decades, demonstrate, that on a small scale in Puerto Rico, secondary forests can be ecologically and economically suitable for sustainable timber production. This eco-technology was implemented to encourage similar practice in the Caribbean and globally, as a contribution to economic development that encourages local protection and sustainable management of secondary tropical forests. For thirty years Las Casas de la Selva has seen people from all over the planet live and work in her forest in all areas of science, art, and management. Learning by doing; gathering valuable experiences about life and human interaction in this forest biome, striving to continue and keep the process of creating ecological and sustainable communities, going, going, and never gone.
"Our tools are better than we are, and grow better faster than we do. They suffice to crack the atom, to command the tides, but they do not suffice for the oldest task in human history, to live on a piece of land without spoiling it." Aldo Leopold

*Part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego's fleet.
San Salvador*
Length: 113′ 6″
Rig: Square/Lateen Rig
Built: 2015 San Diego
Home Port: San Diego, California
The San Salvador under the command of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, arrived at the port we now call San Diego on September 28, 1542, before proceeding further north in search of new trade routes. She was the first recorded European vessel to sail along California, and survey its coastline.
Her expeditionaries established a generally friendly first contact with the indigenous peoples of that coast. The San Salvador must be considered the founding ship of San Diego and of the State of California. As such she functions as an "origin symbol" ship for San Diego in much the same way as the Mayflower is the origin symbol ship of New England.
Her story represents the beginning of a common heritage for the peoples of California, both past and present.
Length Overall: 139′
Rig: Schooner
Built: 1995 New York
Home Port: San Diego, California
America is a replica of the schooner that won the first Royal Yacht Squadron's race around the Isle of Wight for a cup of one hundred sovereigns in August of 1851. Henceforth, the cup was named the America's Cup (named after the yacht). George Steers was the original designer of America in 1850, but in 1995, an America's Cup enthusiast had America re-built in New York. She was later sold to Next Level Sailing for weekly public sailings and private charters from her dock at the Maritime Museum of San Diego.
B-39 Submarine*
Length Overall: 299'
Submerged Displacement: 2475 tons
Diesel Engines: 3 x 2000hp
Electric Engines: 3 x 1350hp
Torpedo Tubes: 6 forward, 4 aft
Built: 1970's Russia
Home Port: San Diego, California
One of a fleet of diesel electric submarines the Soviet Navy called "Project 641," B-39 was commissioned in the early 1970s and served on active duty for more than 20 years. 300 feet in length and displacing more than 2000 tons, B-39 is among the largest conventionally powered submarines ever built. The Soviet and then Russian Federation navies deployed these submarines from the mid 1950s through the early 1990s. They played a part in many of the Cold Wars most tense moments including the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Berkeley Ferryboat*
Length Overall: 279'
Beam: 64'
Draft: 9' max
Engine: steam, triple expansion, 1450 hp
Original seating capacity: 1691
Built: by Southern Pacific R.R.
Home Port: San Diego, California
Built by Union Iron Works in San Francisco Oct 18 1898, Berkeley is a double-ended, steel-hulled, steam ferryboat with a triple-expansion engine. The first successful propeller-driven ferry boat on the west coast, thereby ending the era of paddle and side wheel propulsion, Berkeley played a crucial role in California history, ferrying railroad and commuter passengers between San Francisco and Oakland/Alameda for 60 years. Perhaps her most historic day was April 18, 1906, when she shuttled thousands of refugees from the burning earthquake-devastated city and returned with necessary supplies.
Bill of Rights
Length Overall: 129'
Rig: Gaff topsail schooner
Built: 1971 South Bristol, Maine
Home Port: Chula Vista, California
Bill of Rights is a wooden, gaff-rigged topsail schooner designed by McCurdy, Rhodes & Bates. She sailed the waters of New England from 1971-1997. In 1998 the Los Angeles Maritime Institute brought her west. Later, American Tall Ships Institute began offering immersion-type sailing programs and public day sails. In 2013 she was acquired by the South Bayfront Sailing Association and currently offers life-changing adventures utilizing on-the-water art, science and maritime instruction.
Length Overall: 145′
Rig: Tops'l Schooner
Built: 1984 San Diego
Home Port: San Diego, California
The Californian joined the historic fleet of ships at the Maritime Museum of San Diego in 2002. She is the Official Tall Ship of the State of California and helps carry out the educational missions of the Maritime Museum by hosting thousands of students year round in a variety of American history, sail training and Youth-At-Risk programs. The general public can sail her on weekends, special event sailsand adventure sail expeditions to Catalina Island. She was designed as a replica of the 1847 revenue cutter C.W. Lawrence. Built long and lean, revenue cutters patrolled the California coast during the Gold Rush era and were a precursor of today's Coast Guard.
Length: 70′ LOA, 50′ LOD
Rig: Top-sail Ketch
Built: 1934 Sagwag, Norway by Henik Lagen
Home Port: San Diego, California
The Cloudia is a rare example of a classic Norwegian double ended ketch. Cloudia is a Listerskøyte inspired by the original designs of famed naval architect Colin Archer. The top-sail ketch is notable for durability and safety. Archer's shipyard designed and constructed the famed Fram which participated in a number of expeditions to the North Pole and later supported Roald Amundsen's historic first expedition to the South Pole.
Although Archer's designs were all initially intended as rescue boats, they became popular for commercial use and in the pleasure sailing market during the 20th Century, and remain so to this day. Only a very few of Archer's original boats remain. The Cloudia is a beautifully restored example of this type. Current research suggests that the Cloudia was built in 1934 as a Listerskøyte, a classic Norwegian design from the second half of the 19th century under the name M/S Prøv.
Originally a wind powered only vessel, the Cloudia had her first single cylinder Rapp engine installed at the Wickmann Motor Fabrick in 1955. It is unclear how Cloudia spent her early years. She may have moved to Germany after the war. Records indicate that she was first registered in the United States Virgin Islands in the summer of 1974. In 1976 registration was moved to Los Angeles. She was the star of a Warner Brothers movie, the Sea Gypsies released in 1978. In February 2009, the Cloudia was salvaged from San Diego America's Cup Harbor. She was sitting on the bottom stuck in the mud. There were several holes in the hull with 2 large gaps at the water line where planks had rotted because of fresh water damage. After a two-week test to check her integrity, the Cloudia was towed to the Driscoll Mission Bay boatyard where her restoration to exacting US Coast Guard standards was achieved. She is now available for Eco-tours and Whale watching from San Diego.
Length: 81'6"
Rig: Staysail Schooner
Built: 1926 Wiscasset, Maine
Home Port: Dana Point, California
Like many tall ships her age, Curlew has many sea stories to tell. Originally built for Charles Andrews of the New York Yacht Club, Curlew competed in the N.Y.Y.C.'s ocean cruising class racing from Newport to Bermuda. She was then donated to the Merchant Marine Academy in 1940 to serve as a sail training vessel and conducted submarine patrol duty for the Coast Guard during WWII. She continued to serve as a training vessel for the Coast Guard in New Haven, Connecticut and Cape May, New Jersey. Her career in the charter service started with her delivery crew having to abandon her in a storm that was reported to be the largest low pressure in the area for 40 years, which took the lives of 144 people in 1962. After many owners and extensive rebuilds she cruised in the Central and South Pacific, and the West Coast. Today, Curlew's owner and captain, Bob Harrison operates a successful sailing charter out of Dana Point.
USS Dolphin*
Length Overall: 165'
Diving depth 3000 feet ++

The Dolphin was a phenomenally versatile research vessel. Never a Warship, but used to develop Submarine technology now in use in the US Fleet. Dolphin originally had one torpedo tube and conducted deep submergence torpedo firing exercises. The Torpedo tube was removed and replaced with a sonar dome adding 13 feet to the ships length. Dolphin also served as a test platform for unmanned under water vehicles, swimmer delivery systems, and littoral warfare systems. Electronic and Electromagnetic Systems were tested for; laser communications, imaging systems for under water search operations, advanced antenna systems and high resolution radar.
Exy & Irving Johnson
Length Overall: 111'
Rig: Brigantine
Built: 2003 San Pedro, California
Homeport: Los Angeles, California
A pair of twin brigantines, The Exy and Irving Johnson are state-of-the-art sail training vessels designed to meet the needs of the Los Angeles Maritime Institutes (LAMI's) TopSail Youth Program. Their primary mission is introducing youths to the subtle but profound influence presented by the sea. These twin brigantines were named after sail training pioneers, Irving and Electra "Exy" Johnson. The Johnsons circumnavigated the globe seven times in all. They did this on two different boats, both named Yankee, with each trip using a new group of boys and girls who possessed only a sense of adventure and curiosity. For twenty-five years, beginning in the 1930's, the Johnsons lived a life at sea that is now legendary and whose legacy continues to give back through the Irving Johnson and LAMI.
San Diego Harbor Police
Length Overall: 39'

Home Port: San Diego, California
The Harbor Police Department patrols and protects the tidelands and San Diego Bay, which includes five member cities from San Diego, Coronado, Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach. The Port of San Diego is also a strategic port – meaning the port must coordinate and work with the military when needed. The Harbor Police work in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Navy, federal Homeland Security officials and Customs and Border Patrol.
The Harbor Police Department is a unique law enforcement agency in that all of its officers are trained firefighters.
HMS Surprise*
Length: 179'
Rig: Full Rigged Ship
Built: 1970 Nova Scotia
Home Port: San Diego, California
HMS Surprise began her career as part of our nations bicentennial celebration. Her builders painstakingly reproduced the 24-gun frigate, the HMS Rose, from the original British Navy plans. In 1991 she was certified as Americas first Class-A sail training vessel. In 2001, 20th Century Fox bought her, modified her, changed her name to HMS Surprise for the hit movie Master and Commander. Since that time she has appeared in many Hollywood movies and commercials, including the 2014 Superbowl commercial for TurboTax. She joined the Maritime Museum of San Diego's historic fleet upon her purchase from Fox Studios in 2004.
Length Overall: 65'
Rig: Yawl
Built: 1938 Stockton, CA
Home Port: San Diego, California
Jada, originally build as a schooner, was converted to a yawl in the 1950's to meet new racing rules more favorably. She has raced the Transpac to Hawaii five times and won the Tahiti race in 1969. Her classic Philip Rhodes design with traditional lines and beautiful teak interior illustrate the fine craftsmanship of world class yacht building. Jada's classic beauty can often be seen out on San Diego Bay or out to sea on charters and whale watching sails.
Length Overall: 134'
Engine: Steam 2 cylinder compound reciprocating steam, 254 hp
Built: 1904 in a record 51 days

Named after a Greek mythological figure, the Medea has a past almost as colorful as her namesake. Built in only 51 working days, the steam yacht Medea was launched in 1904 to serve primarily as an aristocratic vessel for social occasions and hunting trips in Scotland. Named for the legendary Greek figure, this steel, teak, and oak craft was converted to a warship and served in two world wars, under three navies, and six national flags. In WWI she was bought by the Royal Navy as a convoy escort for sailing. By 1946 Medea was back in civilian use and was donated to the Maritime Museum in 1973

Built: 1968 Sewart Seacraft Ltd., Berwick, LA
Home Port: San Diego, California
The Patrol Craft Fast (PCF), or "Swift Boat" as it was known began service in 1965.

PCF training was based at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado on San Diego bay. In 1971, PCF-816 she was donated by the US Navy to the Republic of Malta and renamed P24. She was used for coast guard duty, interdicting smugglers, harbor security, and search & rescue. After forty years of coastguard duty, Malta retired these boats from service. In 2011, Malta's Minister of Defense donated a Swift Boat to the Maritime Museum of San Diego with our promise to preserve her history and to pay tribute to all Swift Boat Sailors from both countries.
Length Overall: 52'
Engine: Diesel, 6cyl – 338 hp
Cruising speed: 8-10 knots
Built: 1914 San Diego

In addition to public day cruises, Pilot now hosts school groups on "Economy and Ecology" voyages, where students help with navigation and perform water quality experiments while exploring the Bay.
Spirit of Dana Point
Length Overall: 83'
Rig: Gaff topsail schooner
Built: 1983 Costa Mesa, California
Home Port: Dana Point, California
Spirit of Dana Point is a fine example of an eighteenth century vessel giving today's children the chance to learn about life at sea. Originally named Pilgrim of Newport, she was the dream and work of Dennis Holland. The recreation of this replica of a 1770's privateer used during the American Revolution was eventually purchased by the Ocean Institute in 2004. She joined her education fleet and was renamed the Spirit of Dana Point in honor of the community that supports her worthy mission.
Star of India*
Length Overall: 278′
Rig: Barque
Built: 1863 Ramsey, Isle of Man
Home Port: San Diego, California
The emblematic flagship of the Maritime Museum of San Diego, Star of India holds the distinctive title of the oldest active sailing ship in the world. Star of India became a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was awarded the World Ship Trust and American Ship Trust Maritime Heritage Awards in 1996. She began her life as the British full-rigged ship Euterpe, named for the ancient Greek muse of music. She is one of the earliest iron hulled ships to be built in the world. In 1901, the Alaska Packers of San Francisco rigged her down to a barque, and renamed her Star of India. In 1927, she was purchased and brought to San Diego. After extensive restoration the Star of India sailed for the first time in over 50 years for the 1976 Centennial Celebration of America. Dedicated staff & volunteer crews continuity maintain and sail her for future generations to enjoy.

Jon Meade Huntsman Jr. (born March 26, 1960) is an American businessman, diplomat, politician, and the former Ambassador of the United States to Russia, serving from October 2017 to October 3, 2019.[1] Huntsman was the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore from 1992 to 1993, the 16th Governor of Utah from 2005 to 2009, and the U.S. Ambassador to China from 2009 until 2011. He has served in the administrations of five Presidents and was a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.[2]
In January 2014, Huntsman was named chair of the Washington-based foreign policy think-tank the Atlantic Council.[3] Huntsman has served in every presidential administration since the presidency of Ronald Reagan. He began his career as a White House staff assistant for Ronald Reagan, and was appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce and United States Ambassador to Singapore by George H. W. Bush. Later as Deputy U.S. Trade Representative under George W. Bush, he launched global trade negotiations in Doha in 2001 and guided the accession of China into the World Trade Organization. He also served as CEO of his family-owned Huntsman Corporation and chair of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. In 2009, he was appointed United States Ambassador to China by Barack Obama.
While governor of Utah, Huntsman was named chair of the Western Governors Association and joined the Executive Committee of the National Governors Association. Under his leadership, Utah was named the best-managed state in America by the Pew Center on the States.[4] During his tenure, Huntsman was one of the most popular governors in the country, and won reelection in a landslide in 2008, winning every single county. He left office with approval ratings over 80 percent and was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor Gary Herbert.[5] On November 14, 2019, Huntsman announced that he is running for governor of Utah in the 2020 election. Should he win, he would be the first governor in Utah history to serve non-consecutive terms.[6]

Early life and education[edit]
Huntsman was born March 26, 1960, in Redwood City, California.[7] His mother is Karen (née Haight) Huntsman, daughter of LDS Church apostle David B. Haight,[8] and his father was billionaire businessman and philanthropist Jon Huntsman Sr. of the Huntsman Corporation.[9] Through his father, Huntsman Jr. is the great-great-great-grandson of early LDS Church leader Parley P. Pratt.[10]
At age 15 in 1975, Huntsman earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank of the Boy Scouts of America.[11] Huntsman attended Highland High School in Salt Lake City but dropped out before graduating to pursue his passion as a keyboard player in a rock band called Wizard.[12][13] Huntsman later obtained a G.E.D. and enrolled at the University of Utah, where he became, like his father, a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. Huntsman served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Taiwan for two years and later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in international politics in 1987.
Political career[edit]
While young Huntsman was visiting the White House in 1971 during his father's service as special assistant to the president, Henry Kissinger confided to the 11-year-old that he was secretly traveling to China.[14] He worked as a White House staff assistant in President Ronald Reagan's administration in 1983. From 1987 to 1988, Huntsman and his family lived and worked in Taipei, Taiwan.[15] During the 1988 presidential election, he was a state delegate at the 1988 Republican National Convention.[16]
George H. W. Bush administration[edit]
Under President George H. W. Bush, Huntsman was deputy assistant secretary in the International Trade Administration from 1989 to 1990.[15] He subsequently served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, serving from 1990 to 1991.[15] In June 1992, Bush appointed Huntsman to become U.S. ambassador to Singapore,[17] which he was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate in August.[18] When questioned by U.S. Sen. Paul Sarbanes, he said that he had been the chairman of Utah's presidential fundraising committee and had donated $2,000 to the Bush campaign, an amount that Sarbanes described as "not a large amount really".[19] At 32 years old, he became the youngest U.S. Ambassador to serve in over 100 years.[20]
George W. Bush administration[edit]
In January 2001, after George W. Bush took office as president, The Washington Post reported there was a strong possibility Huntsman would be appointed to be the new United States Ambassador to China.[21] In March, he reportedly turned down the nomination to be the U.S. Ambassador to Indonesia.[22] On March 28, Bush appointed Huntsman to be one of two Deputy United States trade representatives in his administration;[23] he served in this role from 2001 to 2003.[15]
Governor of Utah[edit]
In March 2003, Huntsman resigned his post in the Bush administration. In mid-August, three-term incumbent Gov. Mike Leavitt, whom Huntsman strongly supported, decided not to run for re-election in order to become the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Bush administration.[24][25][26] Shortly thereafter, Huntsman filed papers to run for Governor of Utah.[27] In the June 2004 Republican primary, Huntsman defeated State Rep. Nolan Karras 66–34%.[28] In November 2004, Huntsman was elected governor with 58% of the vote, defeating Democratic Party nominee Scott Matheson Jr.[29] In 2008, Huntsman won re-election with 77.7% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee Bob Springmeyer.[30]
Huntsman maintained high approval ratings as governor of Utah, reaching 90% approval at times. He left office with his approval ratings over 80%.[5][31][32] Utah was named the best managed state by the Pew Center on the States.[4] Following his term as governor, Utah was also named a top-three state to do business in.[33] The 2006 Cato Institute evaluation gave Huntsman an overall fiscal policy grade of "B"; the institute gave him an "A" on tax policy and an "F" on spending policy.[34]
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Population Survey, Utah was ranked number one in the nation in job growth during Huntsman's tenure, a rate of 5.9% between 2005 and 2009. However, according to the Bureau's Current Employment Statistics survey, Utah ranked number four in the country in job creation, with 4.8% growth. Utah trailed Texas (6.5%), North Dakota (7.5%), and Wyoming (9.5%).[35]
The Utah Taxpayers Association estimates that "tax cuts from 2005 to 2007 totaled $407 million." Huntsman proposed eliminating the corporate franchise tax for small businesses making less than $5 million. During his term as governor, he was successful in having Utah replace its progressive income tax with a top rate of 7%, with a flat tax of 5%; cut the statewide sales tax rate from 4.75% to 4.65% and sales tax on unprepared food from 4.70% to 1.75%; and raise motor vehicle registration fees. He proposed a 400% increase in cigarette taxes, but the measure was never signed into law. In 2008, he successively proposed tax credits for families purchasing their own health insurance, as well as income tax credits for capital gains and solar projects.[36]
During Huntsman's administration, the state budget rose from $16.7 to $22.8 billion.[37] Utah saw spending increases higher than inflation, and in 2006, he proposed the largest state budget in the state's history.[34]
Huntsman supported cap and trade policies, and as governor, signed the Western Climate Initiative.[38] He also supported an increase in the federal minimum wage.[39] He also cut some regulations, including Utah's very strict alcohol laws.[40] In 2007, he signed into law the Parent Choice in Education Act, which he said was "the largest school-voucher bill to date in the United States. This massive school-choice program provides scholarships ranging from $500 to $3000 to help parents send their children to the private school of their choice. The program is open to all current public school children as well as some children already in private school." The voucher law was repealed in a public referendum.[41]
Huntsman was one of John McCain's earliest supporters in his 2008 presidential campaign,[42][43] while most Utah and Mormon politicians supported Mitt Romney.[44] Huntsman helped McCain campaign in New Hampshire and other early primary states and went with him to Iraq twice including over Thanksgiving in 2007.[45] At the 2008 Republican National Convention, Huntsman delivered a nominating speech for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the party's nominee for vice president.[46]
Ambassador to China[edit]
President Barack Obama nominated Jon Huntsman to serve as the United States Ambassador to China on May 16, 2009, noting his experience in the region and proficiency in Mandarin Chinese. His nomination was formally delivered to the Senate on July 6, 2009, and on July 23, 2009, he appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,[47] which favorably reported his nomination to the full Senate on August 4, 2009.[48] On August 7, 2009, the Senate unanimously confirmed Huntsman[49] and he formally resigned as governor of Utah and was sworn in as ambassador to China on August 11, 2009.[50] Huntsman arrived in Beijing on August 21, 2009, to begin his assignment, and he delivered his first press conference on August 22 after a meeting with Commerce Minister Chen Deming.[51]
In February 2011, Huntsman made a controversial appearance at the site of a planned pro-democracy protest in Beijing. In the wake of the Arab Spring, Chinese democracy activists called for similar protests to be held in major Chinese cities, hoping to engender a large-scale movement they called the "Jasmine Revolution".[52][53] On February 20, Huntsman was captured on video at the Wangfujing shopping area, where an anonymous online appeal had called for a major demonstration on that date. When approached by an onlooker asking why he was there, Huntsman replied, "I'm just here to look around". When further asked if he wanted to see "chaos" in China, Huntsman replied "no," and left the area. Photographs of Huntsman at the scene and a video of the encounter, which further accused Huntsman and the United States of attempting to instigate an anti-government revolution in China, were posted on a Chinese website.[54] The spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in China stated that Huntsman had been "unaware" of the planned protest, and happened to be "strolling through the area on a family outing".[55] Huntsman's Chinese name, 洪博培 (Hóng Bópéi), was temporarily blocked from Chinese search engines.[56]
Huntsman resigned from his position as ambassador, effective April 30, 2011, in order to return to the United States to explore a 2012 presidential bid.
2012 presidential campaign[edit]
Huntsman's name appeared on lists of potential Republican nominees for the 2012 presidential election as early as 2008 and 2009,[57][58] and John McCain specifically mentioned Huntsman as a potential candidate for the 2012 election in March 2009.[59] Huntsman was an early supporter of John McCain's and bundled more than $500,000 for McCain's presidential campaign in 2008.[60]
Of McCain's loss, Huntsman observed, "We're fundamentally staring down a demographic shift that we've never seen before in America".[61] On November 12, 2008, Politico called him a possible 2012 contender.[62] Washington Post blogger Chris Cillizza also speculated Huntsman as a possible candidate.[44][63]
Many Republicans were touting Huntsman as a possible rising star in the party, someone who might have a role in reshaping the party. Utah businessman and Republican activist Tim Bridgewater said, "Huntsman has a very bright future". Huntsman said, "I think there will be a lot of personalities emerging between now and 2012. I think the party needs to be smart enough to maintain an open mind. Obama was nowhere on the radar screen four years ago".[64] In June 2009, Huntsman top advisor John Weaver, who was also an advisor for McCain, stated, "I firmly believe that Huntsman and people like him are the prescription for what ails us. But I have the feeling that our party maybe won't order that prescription in 2012."[65]
In August 2010, a group of political strategists close to Huntsman formed a political action committee now called Horizon PAC that could provide a framework for launching Huntsman's campaign. This PAC was formed in part to draft Huntsman into running for president.[66] On February 22, 2011, Horizon PAC launched its official website, which made no direct reference to Huntsman but stated that the PAC's mission is "to help elect a new generation of conservative candidates for local and state offices all across America."[67] The PAC's website also states that it "supports free-market values, principled leadership and a commitment to long-term solutions".[68]
A January 1, 2011, Newsweek article titled "The Manchurian Candidate" featured an interview with Huntsman, in which he stated, "You know, I'm really focused on what we're doing in our current position. … But we won't do this forever, and I think we may have one final run left in our bones". Asked specifically whether he intended to run for president in 2012, he declined to comment.[69] The article generated significant speculation about a likely Huntsman 2012 presidential bid.[70]
On January 31, 2011, Huntsman submitted his formal resignation from his post as U.S. Ambassador to China effective April 30, 2011, indicating his plans to return to the United States at that time.[71] Both top Democrats and close associates of Huntsman indicated that he was likely to explore a 2012 Republican presidential bid.[72][73][74]
On May 3, 2011, he formed an official fundraising political action committee, building on the efforts of the previously established Horizon PAC.[75] On May 18, 2011, Huntsman opened his 2012 national campaign headquarters in Orlando, Florida. On June 14, during an interview with Harold Evans, he said he would announce his campaign for president on June 21.[76][77]
Huntsman formally entered the race for the Republican presidential nomination on June 21, 2011, announcing his bid in a speech at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, with the Statue of Liberty in the background—the same site where Ronald Reagan launched his campaign in 1980.[78][79] After focusing his energy and resources on the New Hampshire primary in which he finished third, Huntsman announced the end of his campaign on January 16, 2012, endorsing Mitt Romney.[80]
Post-campaign politics[edit]
A month after dropping out of the race, Huntsman offered the opinion that there was a need for a third party in America. In an appearance on the MSNBC talk show Morning Joe on February 23, 2012, Huntsman said that a third party would be a healthy development in the presidential election process.
I think we're going to have problems politically until we get some sort of third party movement or some voice out there that can put forth new ideas. Someone's going to step up at some point and say we've had enough of this. The real issues are not being addressed and it's time that we put forward an alternative vision, a bold thinking. We might not win, but we can certainly influence the debate.
Huntsman said that he would not run as a third-party presidential candidate in 2012.[81]
The Republican National Committee reacted by withdrawing an invitation for Huntsman to appear as a speaker at a Republican fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, in early March.[82] In early July, Huntsman announced that he would not be attending the 2012 Republican National Convention for the first time since he attended as a Reagan delegate in 1984. Huntsman issued a statement chiding the Republican Party for what he perceived as its failures to focus on the daunting socio-economic issues facing America.
I will not be attending this year's convention, nor any Republican convention in the future until the party focuses on a bigger, bolder, more confident future for the United States — a future based on problem solving, inclusiveness, and a willingness to address the trust deficit, which is every bit as corrosive as our fiscal and economic deficits.
In early November 2012, just days before Barack Obama was re-elected as president, the Associated Press named Huntsman as a possible successor to Hillary Clinton as the United States secretary of state.[83] This speculation was echoed by various media outlets,[84] particularly after Huntsman came to the defense of United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, describing the criticism of her response to the 2012 Benghazi attack as being "overblown".[85] On November 20, 2012, Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina suggested that the Obama campaign believed Huntsman would have been a particularly difficult candidate to face in the general election. Messina said that the campaign was "honest about our concerns about Huntsman" and that Huntsman "would have been a very tough candidate".[86]
In January 2014, Huntsman was named chairman of the Atlanticist think-tank the Atlantic Council.[3] Huntsman indicated in an interview with Politico that he would not run in the 2016 presidential election.[87] In April 2016, Huntsman decided to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump,[88] but later retracted his endorsement of Trump following the Access Hollywood controversy.[89]
In November 2016, Huntsman "said he's weighing a run for the U.S. Senate in 2018, depending in part on whether fellow Republican Orrin Hatch decides to seek an eighth term," though ultimately he chose not to run for the seat.[90] Following his resignation as U.S. ambassador to Russia in August 2019, many speculated that Huntsman was considering another run for Utah governor.[91] In November 2019, Huntsman confirmed these speculations and officially announced his campaign for a third term as the governor of Utah.[92]
Ambassador to Russia[edit]
On December 3, 2016, the Associated Press reported Huntsman was under consideration by Donald Trump and the Trump transition team as a possible choice for secretary of state in 2017.[93] Rex Tillerson was chosen 10 days later.
Huntsman defended Trump in interviews with FOX News and The New York Times after Trump received criticism for accepting a congratulatory phone call with the president of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen, during his transition process.[93] Huntsman said the critics were overreacting to Trump's decision to accept the phone call, and that Trump's nontraditional style might be an opportunity for a shift in Asia relations in future talks with China.[93]
It was reported on March 8, 2017, that Huntsman accepted a position as United States ambassador to Russia.[94][95]
During his Senate confirmation hearings, Huntsman said, "There is no question that the Russian government interfered in the U.S. election last year".[96]
Huntsman was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, via voice vote, as United States ambassador to Russia on September 28, 2017.[97][98] He has described having improved access to Russian government officials, compared to his recent predecessors.[99]
Huntsman submitted his resignation as U.S. ambassador to Russia to President Trump on August 6, 2019 with his resignation taking effect on October 3, 2019.[1]
2020 Utah gubernatorial campaign[edit]
Huntsman announced on November 14, 2019, that he will run for Governor of Utah in the 2020 election.[100]
Political positions[edit]
Huntsman has been described by Huffington Post as "a conservative technocrat-optimist with moderate positions who was willing to work substantively with President Barack Obama"[101] and identifies himself as a center-right conservative.[102]
As governor, Huntsman listed economic development, healthcare reform, education, and energy security as his top priorities. He oversaw tax cuts and advocated reorganizing the way that services were distributed so that the government would not become overwhelmed by the state's fast-growing population. He also proposed a plan to reform healthcare, mainly through the private sector, by using tax breaks and negotiation to keep prices down.[103] In 2007, when asked about a healthcare mandate, Huntsman said, "I'm comfortable with a requirement – you can call it whatever you want, but at some point we're going to have to get serious about how we deal with this issue".[104]
According to Haley Barbour, former governor of Mississippi:
Jon Huntsman and I served together, and while we don't agree on some issues, there's no question that he's a conservative. He's way to the right of Barack Obama for goodness sake. But yeah, I consider Jon a conservative. As I said, we have some issues that I think are important that we have different views on. But he was in the Reagan administration, elected governor of a very conservative state—elected and re-elected by the way. So if you're asking me if Jon Huntsman is qualified to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States, the answer is, of course he is.[105]
Fiscal policy[edit]
In a 2008 evaluation of state governors' fiscal policies, the libertarian Cato Institute praised Huntsman's conservative tax policies, ranking him in a tie for fifth place on overall fiscal policy. He was particularly lauded for his efforts to cut taxes. The report specifically highlighted his reductions of the sales tax and simplification of the tax code.[106] However, the report concluded that: "Unfortunately, Huntsman has completely dropped the ball on spending, with per capita spending increasing at about 10 percent annually during his tenure."[106] He defines his taxation policy as "business friendly".[107]
As part of his presidential campaign, Huntsman claimed that "our tax code has devolved into a maze of special-interest carve-outs, loopholes, and temporary provisions that cost taxpayers more than $400 billion a year to comply with". The candidate called for "[getting] rid of all tax expenditures, all loopholes, all deductions, all subsidies. Use that to lower rates across the board. And do it on a revenue-neutral basis".[108]
In addition, Huntsman has proposed reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 25%, eliminating corporate taxes on income earned overseas, and implementing a tax holiday for repatriation of corporate profits. He favors eliminating taxes on capital gains and dividends.[109]
Social issues[edit]
As the governor of Utah, Huntsman signed several bills placing limits on abortion.[110] Huntsman actively supported legislation that would have allowed civil unions for same-sex couples in Utah,[111] but not same-sex marriage.[112]
In a February 2013 op-ed published in The American Conservative, Huntsman expressed his support for same-sex marriage, stating: "All Americans should be treated equally by the law, whether they marry in a church, another religious institution, or a town hall. This does not mean that any religious group would be forced by the state to recognize relationships that run counter to their conscience. Civil equality is compatible with, and indeed promotes, freedom of conscience."[113][114]
In 2013, Huntsman was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage during the Hollingsworth v. Perry case.[115]
Environment and energy[edit]
In 2007, in response to the issue of global warming, Huntsman signed the Western Climate Initiative, by which Utah joined with other governments in agreeing to pursue targets for reduced production of greenhouse gases.[116] He also appeared in an advertisement sponsored by Environmental Defense, in which he said, "Now it's time for Congress to act by capping greenhouse-gas pollution."[116] In 2011, however, Huntsman said, "Cap-and-trade ideas aren't working; it hasn't worked, and our economy's in a different place than five years ago. Much of this discussion happened before the bottom fell out of the economy, and until it comes back, this isn't the moment."[117]
Later that year, in response to perceived anti-science comments by Rick Perry and other Republican presidential candidates, he tweeted: "To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy." [118] Soon after, however, he clarified this position by stating: "There's not enough information right now to formulate policies in terms of addressing it over all, primarily because it's a global issue. We can enact policies here, but I wouldn't want to unilaterally disarm as a country. I wouldn't want to hinder job creators at a time when our economy is flat."[119]
Foreign policy[edit]
Huntsman has repeatedly stated, "We need to continue working closely with China to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program". He has also named Taiwan, human rights, and Tibet among the "areas where we have differences with China" and vowed "robust engagement" on human rights if confirmed. The governor, who lived in Taiwan as a Mormon missionary, said he felt "personally invested in the peaceful resolution of cross-strait differences, in a way that respects the wishes of the people on both Taiwan and the mainland. He said that current U.S. policy "supports this objective, and I have been encouraged by the recent relaxing of cross-strait tensions."[120] Huntsman is a supporter of Israel and has made several visits to Israel.[121]
In June 2007, Huntsman joined other Western governors in urging the Senate to pass comprehensive immigration reform.[122] In 2005, Huntsman signed a bill giving undocumented migrants access to "driving-privilege cards", which allowed them to have driving privileges but unlike driver licenses, cannot be used for identification purposes.[123] As governor, Huntsman threatened to veto a measure repealing in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants.[124]
Huntsman has stated support for a border fence, saying that, "as an American, the thought of a fence to some extent repulses me … but the situation is such that I don't think we have a choice".[125] In the September 9 CNN GOP debate, Huntsman suggested that the country needed more legal immigration, claiming that it will revive America's housing market, citing Vancouver's quickly growing real estate market as evidence.[126] Huntsman also supports granting more H-1B visas to foreigners.[127]
Huntsman supported the DREAM Act, which proposed a path to citizenship for young people brought to the United States by their parents illegally.[128]
Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property[edit]
Huntsman is the co-head of the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property, along with Dennis C. Blair.[129]
Business career[edit]
From 1993 to 2001, Huntsman served as an executive for the Huntsman Corporation, chairman of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, and CEO of Huntsman Family Holdings Company. Other organizations he has served include the Utah Opera, Envision Utah, the Coalition for Utah's Future, and KSL-TV's Family Now campaign.
In January 2012, Huntsman Cancer Institute announced that Huntsman had been appointed to the position of chairman, replacing his father, who founded the institute.[130]
Huntsman was appointed to the board of directors of the Ford Motor Co. in February 2012. The announcement quoted Ford's executive chairman, William Clay Ford Jr., as praising Huntsman's global knowledge and experience — especially in Asia — as well as his tenure as the governor of Utah.[131] Huntsman was appointed to the board of Caterpillar Inc. in April 2012.[132] Huntsman also served on the boards of Chevron, and Hilton Hotels. On March 23, 2012, The Washington Post reported that Huntsman had met with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the issue of the vacant presidency of the World Bank. According to the Post, a "family friend" said that Huntsman "fought hard to be named by Obama as head of the World Bank". Huntsman's daughter, Abby Huntsman Livingston, who was present at her father's meeting with Reid, said he had no interest in the job.[133]
Personal life[edit]
Huntsman has eight brothers and sisters, and he and his wife, Mary Kaye, have seven children: Mary Anne (b. 1985), Abigail (b. 1986), Elizabeth ("Liddy"; b. 1988), Jon III (b. 1990), William (b. 1993), Gracie Mei (b. 1999; adopted from China), and Asha Bharati (b. 2006; adopted from India).[134] His daughter Mary Anne is married to Evan Morgan, son of CNN commentator Gloria Borger.[135] Huntsman's two sons are both graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy, and serving active duty assignments.
Huntsman is a distant relative (third cousin, once removed) of 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney; Romney's great-great-grandfather, the early Mormon missionary Parley Pratt, is Huntsman's great-great-great-grandfather.[136][137][138] Their relationship has been reported to be one of rivalry. After a scandal erupted over the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Romney and Huntsman were both considered to take over the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the games. After intense lobbying, Romney was chosen, and the Huntsman family was reportedly "livid." In 2011 Huntsman said he was "being used" and that Romney's selection was "precooked".[139] As Romney prepared his 2008 presidential run, he began consulting Huntsman on foreign policy and trade issues. Huntsman's father signed on as a finance chair for Romney's campaign, and it was expected that Huntsman would endorse Romney; instead, Huntsman backed John McCain and became one of the McCain campaign's national co-chairs. According to New York Magazine, sources within Romney's 2008 campaign said Huntsman had promised to endorse Romney; Huntsman denied this. Huntsman's father also came to regret his support for Romney. New York wrote that after this, "The generations-long ties between the Huntsman and Romney tribes were informally, but conclusively, severed."[139] Huntsman did endorse Romney in the 2012 election after dropping out.[139]
He is a self-proclaimed fan of the progressive rock genre and played keyboards during high school in the band Wizard.[140] He has cited Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, King Crimson, and Yes as his favorite bands during college. On July 30, 2007, he attended a concert by progressive metal band Dream Theater. Later that day, Huntsman signed a proclamation creating "Dream Theater Day" on that date for the state of Utah.[141] He also is a fan of avant-garde musician Captain Beefheart, citing Trout Mask Replica (1969) as his favorite album by Beefheart.[142] Huntsman also joined REO Speedwagon on the piano for two songs during their concert at the Utah State Fair on September 16, 2005. Huntsman is a fan of riding motocross, and he helped in pushing extreme sports and outdoor sports and tourism for the State of Utah.[143]
Huntsman has been awarded 11 honorary doctorate degrees,[144] including an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service from Snow College in 2005,[145] an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Westminster College in 2008,[146] an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Utah in 2010,[147] an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010,[148] and an Honorary Doctorate of Law from Southern New Hampshire University in 2011.[149] He also received honorary doctorates from the University of Washington, University of Arizona, Utah State University, and University of Wisconsin. He has been recognized as a Significant Sig by Sigma Chi.[150] He also earned the Army National Guard's Charles Dick Medal of Merit in 2007, the Utah National Guard Minuteman Award in 2008, and in 1998, a Father of the Year Award from the Father's Day Council of Utah. In 2019 Huntsman earned the State Department's Sue Cobb Award for Exemplary Diplomatic Service.
In 2007 he was awarded the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award by the BSA.[151] He is a founding director of the Pacific Council on International Policy and has served on the boards of the Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Asia Society in New York, and the National Bureau of Asian Research. Huntsman earlier served on the board the Salt Lake City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
In October 2018, Huntsman was diagnosed with stage-1 melanoma and is seeking treatment at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.[152]
Religious views[edit]
Huntsman was brought up as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), and stated in a May 2011 interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, "I believe in God. I'm a good Christian. I'm very proud of my Mormon heritage. I am Mormon."[153]
In December 2010, he told Newsweek that the LDS Church doesn't have a monopoly on his spiritual life.[154] In an interview with Time magazine, he stated that he is more spiritual than religious and that his membership in the LDS Church is "tough to define".[155][156] Although still Mormon, Huntsman has said that he and his wife draw from an array of sources for inspiration, stating: "Today, there are 13 million Mormons. It's a very diverse and heterogeneous cross-section of people. And you're going to find a lot of different attitudes and a lot of different opinions in that 13 million. I was raised a Mormon, Mary Kaye was raised Episcopalian, our kids have gone to Catholic school, I went to a Lutheran school growing up in Los Angeles. So you kind of bind all this together." [157]
Huntsman rejects the notion that faith and evolution are mutually exclusive. In 2011, in response to a statement by Rick Perry that global warming was unproven and that evolution remains only a theory, Huntsman tweeted, "To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy."[158] He said, "The minute that the Republican Party becomes ... the anti-science party, we have a huge problem. We lose a whole lot of people who would otherwise allow us to win the election in 2012."[159]

Yeah, but tell me bout the peaches...lol. My sis is at the Med, they did a procedure to "open her cervix" and as of 5 am she is on pitocin to get labor going. When the doctor arrives, anytime now, they will likely break her water to ensure delivery today because it puts her on a time limit, she must have the baby by so and so time or they take him by c-section. Anyhow, it is about having a healthy baby so, no one is judging her for being able to have a vaginal birth...or not.

I love the Nirvana on a plate.
I joined a new CSA yesterday, so my food will be growing 16 miles away from me. They deliver which is a huge relief for me.

I love the idea of your stuffed date. That sounds really good! It IS Nirvana on a Plate.
And your stir-fries, I don't think I could ever get sick of them, they are always different and they always look so simple and tasty, oh my goodness!

Tammy - news of the peaches are coming soon :) Glad to hear your sister is ok. I'll be thinking of you...
Beany - Yeah for the CSA! That's really exciting. Especially the part about delivery!
Jennifer - the dates stuffed with pecans are my personal favorite right now. I swear it tastes like candy but better because I can't handle super sweet things. Mmm. Mmm!

How are those peaches? Lol.The kids are trying to get me to make peach cobbler. The rolls you gave me were sooo good. The only regret I have is that I didn't hide them from the kids. Chris and I ate two rolls apiece and went to the hospital(his were toasted with butter and your peach jam). By the time we came home, there were only two rolls left. Thanks for some awesome rolls that quite honestly fed my household last night. I haven't been home much and Chris has taken up several domestic duties because I haven't even cared about food while my sis has been in the hospital(hard to explain) but now the baby is born, so I am hoping that life becomes more normal from here. I am going to try to make it to Market today.
Oh and Kings has blueberries now, it may be time for a roadtrip.

Tammy - the peaches are INCREDIBLE! Glad you ate some of those rolls before you left for the hospital. At least you got to taste them :) And remember, there are plenty more where those came from!

Oh, those blackberrie and the date concoction (Nirvana on a plate- very creative) look SO good!
I joined a CSA this week and it delivers! It is so much fun to try all the new, delicious, and healthy vegetables.

- Heather @ SGF said...
Angela - You're CSA sounds great! I've always been a little envious of all those places that actually deliver. VERY cool!
"Nirvana on a Plate" is as easy is dessert gets. Give it a try. I swear it's just like candy. Mmmm!
