Jon Huntsman kisses his daughter Asha as daughter Gracie Mei


Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman kisses his daughter Asha as daughter Gracie Mei looks on after he announced his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, N.J. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. formally launched his presidential bid Tuesday at Liberty State Park in New Jersey with his picture-perfect family, his wife, Mary Kaye, and seven children, including five-year-old Asha, who was adopted from India, and Gracie Mei, 12, adopted from China. Mr. Huntsman has taken his wife and at least some of their children on virtually every campaign stop so far.

In a typical appearance earlier this month in Nashua, N.H., he introduced each of the three daughters present, and then called over Gracie Mei.

“You want to cut through the politics and get to the bottom line of life, the greatest thing we have ever done is bring to kids into our lives who had no future,” he told a gathering of 40 or so people at a house party in Nashua. “And I don’t say that gratuitously, I say that with joy and enormous satisfaction….They make our life full of joy on a regular basis.”

Other candidates may have more than the average number of children. Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania also boasts seven children. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has five sons. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has five kids and around two dozen foster children.

Huntsman Spiders get their name by waiting for prey to come close, and like lions, chase their prey for short distances. Contrary to their gangly and cumbersome appearance, Hunstman Spiders are very fast and are able to chase down their prey with ease.

Hunstman Spiders are extremely aggressive, will arch up to make displays to frighten off perceived threats, and will tenaciously cling to attackers or perceived attackers if they think it will protect them. Given any other circumstance, Hunstman Spiders are designed to slip through holes and cracks and will escape if they feel outmatched.

Huntsman Spiders are not harmful to humans, and although big and scary, are certainly not strong enough to carry off or take a bite out of a human. They will bite in self-defense, in which case they are not venomous, and the only result will be a big red spider bite. As mentioned before, they do cling if picked up, and will most likely bite, making a close-up Huntsman encounter a frightening and potentially painful one, but ultimately not life-threatening.

Alright, enough scaring you…to properly answer the question, Hunstman Spiders mainly eat insects, other spiders and sometimes small lizards and snakes. Big enough Hunstmen might kill and digest very small rodents. Your pets are probably safe, unless you own very small rodents or reptiles. They do not swim, so your fish are safe, too.

When Borders was founded four decades ago, two immigrants who would make their fortunes as buyout moguls arrived in the U.S. from the Mideast. Now, the two rivals represent the chain's best hope of avoiding liquidation.
