King George, Va. -- King George resident Steve Hickman decided to trade off his wife DeLaura Padovan earlier this year. But he didn't get a choice in the swap. His replacement wife was selected for him by the producers of ABC TV's Wife Swap.
The intent of the show is to match up participants that live extremely different lifestyles. DeLaura lauded the producers saying in her case, "They selected almost total polar opposites."
She was whisked off to the suburbs of New Jersey. Here she found a large house with a crystal chandelier prominently displayed so it was visible to even those passing by on the street. And in a few short days she was plunged into the lifestyle of a very high maintenance suburbanite, who was concerned with living a rather opulent lifestyle.
After attempting to walk in her high-heeled shoes, DeLaura's impression of Shannon Nicole Burroughs was that she was definitely a material girl. She along with husband Shannon Michael and their 6-year-old twins Nicolas and Alexa live a very different life than the one DeLaura's family lives in King George.
Steve and DeLaura are musicians. And along with their daughters Tara and Maren Padovan-Hickman, 11 and 8 respectively, who are seasoned folk dancers they form a family musical troupe.
But the family unit also lives the simple life residing in a small log cabin nestled on 57 acres of woods at the end of a long winding dirt and gravel driveway
After I wended my way through the woods to their home, I was greeted by the family's chickens. They are gentle creatures and the laying hens provide a good portion of the family's diet.
But according to DeLaura and Steve they have learned that there are sometimes interesting crumbs left around cars. So they were not so much my welcoming party, but rather a scavenging team. The goats that are corralled in a small area in front of their house for the most part completely ignored my presence.
However, I was warmly welcomed into their home by the couple and their children. A row of windows and skylights along the gabled roof let sunbeams dance across the rafters and the floor. But there are no electrical lights in the home and by all accounts, the family lives like our American pioneer ancestors.
The entire first floor of the house is probably no larger than a great room in many homes in local subdivisions. There is a lower level and a loft atop a narrow steep staircase overlooking the main living area.
Their home is simple, with no frills but it is comfortable, and definitely filed with love. And that love reaches across generations with Steve having spent the winter gingerly hand stitching two quilts that had been assembled by the matriarchs of his family. He will be passing them on to his daughters along with his heritage.
Tara and Maren are home schooled and Steve explained that a good portion of the family life revolves around the kitchen table. "We make everything from scratch and we all work together as a team," he said.
And the girls help with the chores on their mini farm, including feeding the goats and chickens and planting and harvesting their garden. Steve and DeLaura have sold their crops at farmers markets in the area and have also participated in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). They lead a lifestyle that leaves behind a very small carbon footprint.
But the couple also works outside the home. As professional musicians Steve and DeLaura earn their living by performing. He plays violin and harmonica and is the nation's foremost Ham Bone artist and can be seen on various YouTube postings. He teaches at Picker's Supply in Fredericksburg once a week.
DeLaura plays guitar and ukulele. She conducts a Music Together program for young children to help develop rhythm and tonal competency at St. John's Parish Hall in King George. Early this month she also began a program in Fredericksburg.
But they also perform as a family at music camps and other venues. Given that, although a TV production set is not the usual stage upon which the family performs, it is not unusual for them to reply to ads soliciting talent.
On first glance it is somewhat amazing that this family that hasn't owned a television set since the mid 1980's were even aware of the Wife Swap show. It is even more astonishing when you add in the lack of electrical power at their home that they would even respond to an ad to participate in a reality television program.
But after answering the ad from a friend's laptop computer, according to DeLaura the ABC representatives responded back in about 2 minutes.
That was last August. They borrowed a camera and prepared a home video that was accepted by ABC in October. Then the producers sent a TV crew out and after spending several days at their home the family's forays into the world of the small screen was in progress.
She said they looked at it as a learning experience for their home schooled children and an interesting life adventure for the family. And as a professional musician, Steve said, "A gig is a gig."
According to DeLaura the process was like a roller coaster ride with many highs and lows and constant motion. However, she and her husband had nothing but the highest praise for the production crews, saying they were very receptive about changing schedules to meet any needs of the family. But on April 17, when the episode featuring the family airs, that will all be history.
The only visible remnants of their adventure is the set of rules that still hang on the kitchen wall and a somewhat out of place looking crystal chandelier.
But the three 60 watt bulbs in the fixture suspended above the kitchen table have been replaced with small votive light candles.
Although Steve says it gives off a softer light as the flames dance off the reflective crystals creating a peaceful ambiance, they are not sure whether they will keep it. For now the family has reverted back to a life described by DeLaura and Steve as "serendipity" and "uncomplicated happiness."
The episode was filmed in February, so life has quieted back down. Steve said if they had been asked 48 hours after production concluded if they would do it again, he would have definitely responded in the negative. But as time has passed, he thinks he might consider participating in another production.
The family will be hosting a neighborhood viewing of the show at the King George Community Center on Apr. 17.
Since they down own a TV, they will be having one brought in from Fredericksburg's Rent-A-Center. The family is requesting a donation of a food item as admission. All donated items will be given to the local food bank and popcorn and lemonade will be sold to benefit King George Parks and Recreation.

School division committee looking at alternative grading scale
- Details

King George resident Brian Jackson seems to have helped spark the establishment of a committee to investigate changing the grading scale used in the King George school division, particularly at the high school.
Parent Beckey Gallamore first publicly brought the topic up during public comment at a School Board meeting last August 13 and asked the division to look into changing it.
On February 10, Jackson's email on the topic to Superintendent Candace Brown and other central office administrators seemed to get the ball rolling.
Two committee meetings have been held so far, on March 9 and March 30, with the next one set for April 27.
The committee is headed up by Supervisor of Curriculum Ann Cocke and includes a mix of division staff and community members.
The minutes of the first meeting state the committee's purpose is to review the current grading scale and research grading scales from other divisions, then make recommendations concerning the grading scale.
With the current grading scale, it takes a 94 to earn an "A," and an 86 for a "B."
But Jackson notes that in most high schools nationwide a 90 is an "A" and an 80 is a "B."
In both cases, an A receives 4 points and a B gets 3 when calculating grade point averages (GPAs).
Jackson said in his February 10 email to Brown, "As a parent of two middle school students who expect to attend college, I am very concerned over our county's antiquated grading scale. My children will soon compete for limited out-of-state admission opportunities but our current grading scale will place them at a distinct disadvantage when competing against students from school divisions using a 10-point scale and greater weights for advanced courses."
Jackson noted that a recent Fairfax County Public Schools investigation into school grading policies reveals that contrary to what parents and students have been told, 55 percent of colleges surveyed do not recalculate grades and 89 percent compare individual applicants against their entire applicant pool.
Because letter grades are the #1 factor for college admissions, Jackson says the current King George grading scale is limiting the college choices available to county students.
"Our lower GPAs matter not only in terms of college admissions, but also acceptance into Honors programs, discounts on auto insurance, and awards of Merit Scholarships," Jackson said.
He provided the example that Fairfax County discovered.
"At many universities, a student simply needs a 3.5 GPA and a solid SAT Score to be eligible for an automatic, merit scholarship that may total thousands of dollars. Overall, this GPA inequity could realistically cost King George families in terms of state college admissions, academic/ merit scholarships, college honors programs, and good student driver discounts. In this current economic crisis, it is an unfair burden to not permit King George County students to compete on a level playing field," Jackson said.
Jackson pushed for the hard look at what's happening across the state and nation with grading scales, saying, "I would like to begin a serious discussion about following Fairfax County's lead and join the majority of American high schools who have implemented the more commonly used 10-point grading scale, with added weights for Honors and AP/IB classes. The Stafford County School Board has already voted to change their grading system to a 10-point scale and on 28 January, a majority of Loudoun County school board members expressed their support to change their 7-point grading scale. I am not alone in thinking that it is time for us to make the change as well."
That discussion is now in the hands of that division committee. No set timeline has been established for reporting. The committee looked at the proposed 10-point grading scale, which provides grades as follows: 90-100=A, 80-89=B, 70-79=C, 60-69=D, Below 60=F.
The committee is developing surveys designed to elicit input from teachers, staff, and parents/guardians.
Jackson told The Journal, "At first blush, you may say a higher standard is desirable and it's good that we have a tough grading scale because it raises expectations and makes our kids work harder."
But he added, "While this sentiment may or may not be true, the point here isn't higher standards, but rather that our present grading scale places King George students at a disadvantage when seeking college admission, merit scholarships, and good driver discounts."
Jackson said he'd be fine with a grading scale if all the other divisions had the same scale.
But they don't.
"GPA is a standard measurement of a student's grades and academic achievement. When that standard is different from King George, it's an inaccurate representation of the hard work a King George student does."
Jackson noted that Fairfax County's study produced an extensive investigation prior to a vote by its School Board to go to the new grading scale this fall at the beginning of next school year. (The Fairfax report can be found on our website at www.journalpress.com accompanying this article online.)
Jackson also noted that the Fairfax County School board investigation found that the actual high school grades (A, B, C, or D) are the MOST important factor in college admissions.
That finding is repeatedly acknowledged in the report with citations from the National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC), the College Board, and the Fairfax County School Board's own college survey conducted for the report.
Jackson found that the Fairfax report notes the following highlights of its study of grading scales: ~ Fairfax's old six-point scale resulted in Fairfax students having notably lower GPAs than non-Fairfax students with similar SAT scores but graded on a 10-point scale, thereby putting Fairfax students at a competitive disadvantage for college admissions.
~ 75 school systems in 12 different states have adopted the 10-point scale in the last few years.
~ No evidence supports the current six-point scale in Fairfax.
~ On page 49, Figure 6, of the investigation report, it states that changing both the weights for advanced classes and the grading scale benefits all students, especially those with GPAs below 3.75.
~ The grading scale has no bearing on a high school's academic standards. A vast majority of our nation's very best high schools use the 10-point scale (see the 2008 Gold Medal Winner High Schools).
~ A school district's academic standards are measured by their four-year college attendance rates for high school graduates, mean SAT scores and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate class participation and performance.
Jackson said, "If a student is taking the same courses and delivering the same performance in our county and it's giving him a 3.5 average, and if he were simply in Stafford County or Spotsylvania county, his GPA would be a 3.9, then that's patently wrong. This uneven playing field places our kids at a distinct disadvantage and could potentially cost parents money and lost opportunities for our kids - this needs to change."

Bids for Sheriff's office also lower than estimated
The King George Board of Supervisors voted last week on March 17 to award a contract to Gulf Seaboard General Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $1,502,000 for construction of a new county animal pound.
The best news is that there were numerous bidders and all the qualified bids came in substantially under the cost estimate provide by URS for the construction project, which was $2.75M, for the base bid and the alternate.
Supervisor Dale Sisson pointed that out, saying, "This is a really good-news story."
Chairman Joe Grzeika commented that with the amount of the bid, they would get the full build-out to include the alternate of an expanded number of dog runs to 24, instead of 16 as contained in the base bid.
Supervisor Jim Howard stated, "This is something that we have needed in King George for a long time."
County Administrator Travis Quesenberry also had good news regarding the bids opened that day for construction of a 42K square foot Sheriff's Department.
Quesenberry that the bids on the Sheriff's Department needed to be checked for completeness and accuracy, but the initial tabulation indicated that of the 14 bids received, the apparent low bid came in at $7.335M.
That bid was almost $6M less than the cost estimate of $13M. The high bid of $8.7M for the Sheriff's project was also well below the cost estimate.
Both facilities will be constructed at the site planned for a new government center on Route 3, east of Route 205 at Purkins Corner and next to the YMCA.
~ FUNDING Action was taken on November 4 by Supervisors to approve a resolution for a loan from the Virginia Resources Authority (VRA) for about $25M for the two buildings, in addition to other funds rolled in to refinance a couple of other smaller loan balances.
Grzeika stated, "Again, it is the time, and it is the best use of taxpayer dollars at this time."
Supervisor Dale Sisson said, "I would never had guessed it would be that low."
Grzeika agreed, saying, "That is really astonishing."
~ OTHER PROJECTS? The news of the low bids may mean that remaining funding can go toward one or more other construction projects planned by the county.
Under strong consideration could be expansion of the Smoot Library estimated at $4.5M and/or a new stadium estimated at $3M.
Sisson said as much, stating, "We have the library expansion and maybe we can apply some of it to the stadium at this point."
Supervisor Cedell Brooks, Jr., was also interested in what the remaining funds could be spent on, saying, "By saving so much, can we use that money for other things?"
Two other planned government center buildings are also on hold. Those include an operations center and a health and human services building.
Grzeika directed Quesenberry, saying, "Let us know what our legal abilities are."
Quesenberry said, "We'll check that and bring back to the board some options. There were certain things in that bond issuance that we were restricted to use the money for."
Grzeika noted that construction prices could now start going up, saying, "If you put out bids now, I don't think there will be as good as prices were now. There will be stimulus money out there that will bring it back into more normalcy."
He added, "We hit it right at the sweet spot. This one really was a home run. We rolled the dice on this and it really came out in our favor."
~ CONTRACTOR The approved contractor for the animal pound, Gulf Seaboard, is a commercial construction company established in 1982 and located in Ashland.
The contract is expected to be executed by the end of next week, when the notice to proceed will be given.
The language in the contract agreement provides for slightly less than 6 months to achieve final completion of the construction project.
The would put completion of the animal pound in the end of September, with the contract providing 127 days to reach substantial and another 45 days to reach final completion.
~ SPECS Supervisors had reviewed and approved a design in October 2007. The animal pound will be about 5,500 square feet for the building, along with 24 outside dog runs.
The new pound will replace the existing one.
Its construction and design will meet requirements of the state veterinarian for such facilities, with floors and walls to resist bacteria growth, 10 air changes per hour for the mechanical system, and a pressure washer system for cleanliness.
~ BIDS 24 bids were submitted for the animal pound project with two rejected as incomplete. Gulf Seaboard was selected as the apparent responsible and responsive low bidder out of a total of 24 companies responding. The bids were opened on March 3. The bids ranged up to a high of $2,230,000.
The architectural firm which designed the animal pound, Dominion Seven Architects, recommended the contractor be awarded the bid following a complete review of the contractor's bid and qualifications.

Thinking of running for local office in Nov. 09?

LoBuglio may challenge Howard for Supervisor seat
As winter winds down, hints of spring spur plans for the coming year, and some in King George might consider adding a possible run for local election to their calendars.
If you're interested in seeking a position in public service, it's time to start gathering 125 signatures on the required petitions now.
There are four elected positions up for grabs in King George later this year, including two on the Board of Supervisors and two on the School Board.
Running for local office is not as difficult as many think. Sure, there are a few complicated forms to fill out, but it's not such a tough hurdle for those who wish to give back to the community with a job in public service.
So far, John LoBuglio is the only non-incumbent seeking signatures for his petition to consider a run for the James Monroe seat on the Board of Supervisors.
That seat is currently held by Jim Howard, who was first elected to the seat in 1999 and is seeking a 4th consecutive term as representative from the James Monroe election district.
Howard has a long history of public service and served on the School Board in the 1980s, after a previous term on the Board of Supervisors.
LoBuglio gathered signatures and introduced himself to voters during the recent Home & Craft Show.
LoBuglio told The Journal, "Many friends and neighbors have contacted me to ask that I seriously consider running and that I would serve our community well in this capacity if the voters so elect it."
LoBuglio is a bachelor and has worked as a federal government employee in the Department of Defense and Navy for over 31 years. He is a senior business financial manager on the Tomahawk Cruise Missile Program.
LoBuglio earned an associate's degree in 1973 in business administration from Erie Community College in Williamsville, NY and a bachelor's in business administration in 1975 from the State University College of NY at Fredonia, NY.
He has been active and involved in activities in the King George community since 1989, prior to purchasing property in 1996 moving here from Northern Virginia in early 1999.
LoBuglio is a member of St. Anthony Mission Parish, a charter member of the Friends of Caledon Natural Area State Park, and the King George Animal Rescue League, Northern Virginia Gun Club and King George Republican Committee.
"I love the rural atmosphere that exists here and want to protect that character and guide future growth. I've lived through the growth and sprawl in Northern Virginia and how it can easily become out of control by so many various factors that completely change the community character over the course of just a few years," LoBuglio said.
"Having lived there, I have a deeper appreciation of why I love this community and the need to protect what this community has to offer its citizens and generations to come. I am a conservative and try to always keep a perspective of what immediate decisions have on long range planning for future implications. I believe in fiscal responsibility and protecting future generations from unnecessary tax burdens and constraints."
o SUPERVISOR SEATS UP FOR ELECTION In addition to the term coming up for election on the Board of Supervisors in James Monroe, the Shiloh position held by Cedell Brooks, Jr., is also up for grabs.
Both incumbents have said they are planning on seeking reelection.
The terms are for four years. Though time-consuming, the board positions are part-time. Members of the King George Board of Supervisors are paid $5,000 per year.
o SCHOOL BOARD SEATS UP FOR ELECTION For the School Board, the terms coming up mirror those in the same districts as the Supervisors.
The James Monroe School Board seat is held by Payne Kilbourn. The Shiloh School Board position is currently held by Sherrie Allwine.
Neither incumbent has publicly announced their desire to run for reelection at this time. Nor has any resident announced an intention to run for either position.
The terms are for four years. Though time-consuming, the board positions are part-time. Members of the King George School Board get $3,600 per year, with an additional $500 going to the chairperson.
o REQUIREMENTS TO RUN FOR OFFICE If you are interested in running for local elected office, you may do so as long as you meet certain basic requirements.
You must be a registered voter. You must also be a resident of Virginia for at least one year immediately preceding the election; a resident of the election district to be represented by the time of filing; a United States citizen; and at least 18 years old, though any person who is 17 years old and will be eighteen years of age at the next general election shall be permitted to register in advance.
The necessary forms can be downloaded free from the state Board of Elections website, or purchased from the state Board of Elections for $10.00.
The Registrar's office can provide an info sheet for those interested in finding out more about running for office, which lists the state web address. Her office will also supply copies of blank petitions for potential candidates.
o BECOMING A CANDIDATE Those seeking election for any of the local elected positions must file 125 signatures on candidate petition forms with the county registrar by 7:00 p.m. on June 9.
Petitions can be circulated either by the candidate or another person who is registered, or eligible to be registered, to vote in the district in which the candidate is seeking election.
When each petition sheet is completed, the person circulating the petition must affirm before a notary or other person authorized to administer oaths, that she/he personally witnessed the signatures.
Falsely taking the affidavit is a felony under Virginia law. This means that petitions can never be left unattended, for example on a counter at a store, restaurant, business, etc.

School Board presents request for $33,667,370 for 2009-10 budget

Two more spending lists also ask for an additional $1M+
The King George School Board last week presented its 2009-10 budget request to the Board of Supervisors, asking for $39,722,566, which includes a proposal for $33,667,370 for the School Board's operating budget.
The total budget request of $39.7M includes $4.7M for debt service and $1.3M for the Cafeteria Fund.
The School Board's budget request was presented to the Board of Supervisors last week on March 3. Superintendent Candace Brown and Chairperson Sherrie Allwine provided an overview of the request.
Brown said the School Board's budget priorities were threefold, as noted in the slide presentation, to maintain current staff, provide a safe environment and meet the academic needs of all students.
That would presumably be accomplished with the requested $33,667,370 for the School Board's operating budget.
But, not so. Several additional spending lists were presented to the Board of Supervisors as noted below.
Brown also said the division exceeds requirements for the Standards of Quality (SOQs) in several areas.
Those include no requirement for any assistant principal at Potomac Elementary, since the SOQs call for one half-time assistant principal at an elementary school once the student population reaches 600 students. Potomac Elementary only has 486 students.
Brown noted that the number of assistant principals at the high school also exceeds the SOQS. High schools must have one assistant principal for each 600 students. King George High School has 3 assistant principals with an enrollment of 1,247, which is just over the line for needing 2 assistants.
Secondary guidance was also noted as exceeding SOQ requirements. That's likely why Brown had proposed cutting guidance hours. The School Board has put it on a list to add it back into the budget, if additional funding can be secured from the county.
ADDITIONAL CRITICAL NEEDS LISTS School Board Chairperson Sherrie Allwine provided numerous additional spending lists, requesting funding an additional $1,071,637 for items called "Critical Needs." The lists are enumerated below.
$376,379 FOR CRITICAL NEEDS Allwine provided four additional spending lists for "Critical Needs for Safety & Remediation," "Critical Instructional Requirements," "Other Priority" for more guidance hours and for "Head Start."
The four lists total $376,379.
The Safety & Remediation list is further broken down.
SAFETY NEEDS The items on the spending list for safety comes to $124,680 and includes the following:
$25,000 for a part-time physical education teacher at the high school
$16,000 for a physical education paraprofessional (aide) at Sealston Elementary
$16,000 for a physical education paraprofessional at King George Elementary
$5,400 for an after-school hall monitor at the high school, $4,018 for 10 walkie-talkies at King George Elementary
$21,847 to add a custodian at the high school
$21,847 to add a custodian at the middle school (at the old high school)
$14,568 to add a bus paraprofessional
REMEDIATION NEEDS The items on the spending list for remediation comes to $102,552 and includes the following:
$18,000 for after-school tutoring at the high school
$18,000 for after-school tutoring at the middle school
$57,552 for an activity bus run
$9,000 for supplements for speech teachers
OTHER PRIORITY NEEDS Allwine also noted another School Board priority was to provide for additional hours for guidance counselors:
$13,393 is the cost for additional hours for guidance.
HEAD START PROGRAM At all School Board budget meetings, keeping the Head Start program was noted at a cost of $96,668.
For the benefit of the Supervisors, the additional transportation cost for transportation was also provided to bring the total cost to $135,754:
$96,668 to be paid to the Regional Head Start program
$39,086 for transportation costs
It's not clear why the Head Start program has been deleted from the proposed School Board budget. At budget meeting after budget meeting, the School Board has unanimously agreed that Head Start will be put back into the budget, even if they have to delete something else, if they don't get any additional funding over their current request.
ADDITIONAL CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS Allwine presented another spending list adding up to $727,258, calling this one critical instructional requirements.
The spending list is enumerated below.
$25,000 for a part-time career/technical education (CTE) teacher at the high school
$75,000 for 1.5 full-time equivalent elective teachers at the middle school
$16,000 for a paraprofessional (aide) for K-1st grade at Potomac Elementary
$2,700 for purchase of a kiln at Potomac Elementary
$50,000 for an additional 1st grade teacher at Sealston Elementary
$150,000 for 3 computer lab teachers, one at each of the elementary schools
$150,000 for 3 science lab teachers, one at each of the elementary schools
$150,000 for 3 reading resource teachers, one at each of the elementary schools
$108,558 for technology hardware
REQUEST FOR LOCAL FUNDING The School Board is requesting $13,445,008 in county funding from the Board of Supervisors, compared to $10,696,752, as required by the state for local funding from King George.
That comes to a request for $2,748,256 more than the required local effort.
County Director of Finance/Deputy County Administrator Donita Harper has noted that each penny on the real estate tax equates to $261,970.
The School Board's request for more local funding than the state requires would equate to a 10.5-cent increase on the real estate tax rate.

Book Description:This book follows a footloose journey along the Miskito caost, from Belize down through Guatamala, the Honduras to Nicaragua and Costa Rica to Panama. From turtle fishing to spirit dances to getting arrested when washed ashore after a storm on the wrong side of the border, this book combines a curiosity in the human flotsam and jetsam that litter the coast with a shrewd eye for its history; the Miskito and Garifuna Indians have since time immortal been visited with one tin pot pseudo-monarchical regime or another, and the results were, and are, in turn both hilarious and tragic.

8 Plans for JPMorgan Chase's Future
This week, the most senior JPMorgan Chase (JPM) executives spent six hours airing their plans for growth - and retrenchment. Here are some of the strategies Chief Executive Jamie Dimon and his top lieutenants discussed. (Image: Bloomberg News)
The first speaker of the day was new chief financial officer Marianne Lake, who replaced Doug Braunstein at the beginning of the year. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon extensively reshuffled his top lieutenants over the past several months, in the wake of a massive trading loss.
Even the country's largest bank needs to cut back on employees. Executives said JPMorgan would eliminate about 17,000 positions over the next two years, including about 4,000 through attrition this year in its consumer bank. (Image: Shutterstock)
Most of JPMorgan Chase's job cuts will come through layoffs and attrition in its mortgage operations over the next two years, as the industry moves past the worst of the foreclosure crisis and has less need for servicing employees. (Image: Shutterstock)
Even as it cuts some branches, JPMorgan Chase is expanding. The bank plans to add about 100 branches to its total over each of the next two years. (Image: Bloomberg News)
A growing number of JPMorgan Chase customers are opting for mobile and online technology over branch visits. About 500,000 bank customers per month are going digital, executives said. (Image: Shutterstock)
JPMorgan used the day to announce a new partnership with Visa. Executives said the deal will allow the bank to negotiate directly with merchants over how they process Chase credit and debit cards. (Image: Bloomberg News)
The event also marked a JPMorgan bid to get beyond the London Whale affair that sparked regulatory scrutiny, Congressional hearings and senior leadership departures. (Image: Shutterstock)
Dimon ended the day by answering questions for about an hour. In 2013, the bank will have to grow "organically and meet a wave of our regulatory demands," he said. "Just doing those two things will tax even JPMorgan." (Image: Bloomberg News)

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 736 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DEFR5345 Room over looking the pool The only complaint I had was the bedroom of the suite we had over looked the pool, which didn't close to 11 PM. I need quiet to sleep. After being at the parks till 9 Pm, all I wanted was a hot shower, and quiet! I finally got a set of ear plugs, which I hate wearing but it was the only way to drown out the children's playful screaming. Great area, lots of choices for food, room was very clean, loved the lay out, just not the pool view. I'll be sure to ask next time, no pool view. April 21, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by sadcustomer1 how is this hotel rate 4 stars? Please do not spend your money in this hotel. This hotel should not even be rated two stars and its definitely NOT a 4 Starts hotel. The hotel was very durty inside out. trash was left in our room from preview occupency. The one fuctioning elevator was mostly occupied by service personal so for the most part we had to use the stars. Customer services is very bad. We left the this hotel after being there for a few hours and they refused to refund the the unused stayed. The manager was unwilling to resolve the issues and unwilling to handler the problems. Bad hotel all around. We have stayed in better two stars in the area. June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cetta Great stay! My husband and I stayed for 2-nights. The hotel was beautifully renovated, the room was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the Spa! The only thing that I would recommend is changing the seating for your cabana's. We bought one for a day and the chairs with the ottoman are ok, for a little while, but don't recline at all. We ended up having to pull in the regular lounge chairs from around the pool, which when you get a cabana you should have nice padded lounge chairs that recline and you can nap in! July 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by swampette Excellent Remodel I have stayed at this hotel in the past when it had the safari theme, and the recent remodel is a HUGE improvement. The bedding is an area of focus for me, and the new bedding was fresh and comfortable. This hotel suffers to some degree from the problem with cleanliness that almost all Orlando hotels seem to have. Everything looks like it could use a thorough vacuuming and the bathroom a thorough bleaching. But I have come to expect this when I travel to Orlando, and this hotel was better than most. March 4, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by TammyB1017 Not up to a Sheraton Property Expectations The room was dirty, had no carpet. We put a blanket on the couch due to it being soiled before we would sit on it. The chair was stained. When I book a suite, even a junior suite, I expect a microwave and refrigerator... A smaller than normal refrigerator existed but if you want / need a microwave it is a $10.00 daily rental and is the old dial style. In general we received a ton of "I'm sorry, but that is just the way we do things at this Sheraton". Also be prepared to pay a $16.95 daily resort fee, which I have no problem paying at a resort.... this is not a resort. This is a hotel manager taking advantage of travelers with Sheraton expectations. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeniseK Beautiful Renovations If you stayed here before the renovations you wont believe the change! Beautiful modern look. Very comfortable design both rooms and lobby. The pool area is as good or better than many on Disney property. But maybe the best thing about the resort is the staff. You are always greated with a smile and some nice small talk. Made to feel like a valued guest. Brenda who works at breakfast was a joy to deal with every morning. The resort is perfect for families with childtren of all ages. June 7, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ray66 Complicated If you are looking for someplace to dump your bags and head to Disney than this place will do. Keep in mind there are better values out there. The fees they hit you with to park and for the WIFI that took me 2 calls and 15 mins. to connect are crazy. The pools and hot tubs had so much chlorine in them it made it unpleasant. The buffet is over priced and underwhelming, go to Shoney's it's cheaper. Read carefully, because the deposit they take from, your account can take up to 30 days to be returned. I stayed here MANY times when it was the Safari and enjoyed it much better. It was reasonably priced, which made the lack of help behind the desk tolerable. May 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Guerrna Not Impressed Although the hotel was close to many restaurants, I was very disappointed that this hotel is part of SPG. It's a pet friendly hotel and many pet owner's are inconsiderate. There was dog feces in halls and around vehicles. The bed was very firm and not comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was minimal. Many guests complained at front desk about this issue. Internet service was poor and slow. Hotel needs much improvement. Did not expect this from an SPG property. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vivian25 Great Experience From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the staff and I can not express enough how friendly everyone was, from the valet to the front desk to housekeeping. And it was all so geniune that it made you feel you were home. I must also comment on the cleanliness of the hotel, inside and outside. It was immaculate. I never spotted anything out of place or any garbage around (I even started looking purposefully cuz I was amazed). I plan on returning and I am recommending the hotel to all my friends. And the location is excellent -within walking distance to several restaurants and very easy access to I-4. Highly recommend the hotel. April 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Witham68 Great Facility and Staff The Sheraton lived up to its brand promise of being warm, connected and part of the community. The recent renovations made the property stand out against its competition. The rooms were comfortable and beds the best in the business. Several staff members that my wife and I encountered stood out. From the Ambasdsadors opening our car doors upon arrival to the polite and efficient check in to the concierge and much more... A Great Experience to Remember! March 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by vuffir Perfect location, great experience Check-in was great, soon as we got to the counter the person at the front desk made sure we were checked in right away, given all the info needed and were on our way. Considering it was late at night that was exactly what we wanted. Being platinum we received vouchers for breakfast at Zest which was a great way to start the day. The wait staff there was awesome and made us feel like family for the stay. I definitely would go back here. The location is right near a Disney entrance and I-4 which also works out really well. The hotel seemed like a great fit for anyone not wanting to stay at a Disney hotel yet have a nice place, great location to be in Orlando. May 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by travel66 noise, lack of cleaness, no wi-fi ETCCCC Stayed at this location Jan 2011, hoped that remodel would include club lounge. Pool night hours, woken at 12:30 p.m., Room had hair in sink, tub, Parking security, one area bar to prevent entering, other side of building drive in. Wi-fi in room worked once in 4 days...ETC. When I made majority of disappointments known to manager, Barbara, she looked at me, said, I will check into situation, like it was everyday complaint. March 18, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JGirl Worst hotel, EVER! Told to park in rear (bldg 3). Scared to leave the car. Tried to park under a lamp. Lamp was out. Questioned whether the elevator was a Service Elevator. Never felt safe in the room or in the parking lot. Slept and left, as early as possible. While a Starwood points stay, I will never book a Sheraton property again without seeing the "real thing". Your images of a "resort" are very misleading. Extremely disapointed! February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Echeverry1909 Great Experience My husband and I spent our one year anniversary at this hotel and it was better than we expected. The staff was very nice and helpful and the hotel was absolutely beautiful. The only thing that we did not appreciate was that we were not told when we made the reservations that we would be charged $10 a night for parking. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort to anyone. September 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrewMcQ A great stay I travel 2 weeks out of every month. On October 19 - 21 I cashed in some SPG points and took my family to the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resot in Orlando Florida. Other than some per night resort fees and additional per night parking fees, the trip was relaxing and much enjoyed. the staff were very friendly and treated us like family. Thank you for a great weekend. I wish we could have stayed longer. October 24, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Peshawar Worse experience. I had one of the worse experience staying at this property. My checking in time was one hour one of the most incompetent person behind the desk. No directions were given for parking or room for a person who is staying first time at this propert with family. Next day my bathroom roof started leaking the person who came to look at it was very rude. The employees at the bar by the pool were very rude and gave an attitude like who cares.....The matter was brought up to the front office manager but she had a no care attitude too. I will never stay at this property ever again and will not recommend to anyone in future ever. One of the worse hotel with worse employees....except the only person who checked us outage was the only one who listened to us and as courtesy she removed resort fee for us without asking. We checked out one day early while being on vacation on my time and money. Very sad! March 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by cathyprz Recent Stay in Orlando We had a wonderful time at the Sheraton Safari. The staff that greeted us as our cabs pulled up each day were always friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was clean and very nice. The pool area was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the hot tub every day. We had absolutely no complaints! I would stay there again in a second! March 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Texas2013 Disney Family Trip This was a great hotel to stay. I was concerned about the hotel being suitable for children but it was great. We are a family of four the rooms were a bit small for us but we survived. It is centrally located to everything, plenty of restaurants in the area. And we were in close proximity to Disney World one of the entrance was about 1/2 block away. June 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JayC102 Great comfortable stay I can see where the negative reviews come from. The outside of the hotel does look a little dated. But for us, the stay was perfect. My family was here for 4 nights. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. The pool is one of the best. When I ask my kids the best thing about the trip, they said the pool, not Disney... enough said. January 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JC54 Disappointing I choose this specific hotel as it was pet friendly. I made a special request for early check in on arrival date, so we could get settled in with our dog before our event started,but it could not be accommodated, as hotel was booked. So..I had to leave my dog behind. I should have changed hotels then. There were also no king rooms left at check in. My husband and I shared the double bed-hilarious. The A/C broke the first night-clanging and clattering, and we couldn't sleep. If it was turned up it started smelling like smoke/fire. We took turns sleeping on the couch and shutting the bedroom door to drown out the noise and smell. We couldn't be moved as the hotel was full. The screaming people in the pool past 1 am for two nights prompted a phone call each night. The engineering dept did finally come to look at A/C and simply left a note saying it was broken. Thanks for the update. They never came back. We stayed 3 long exhausting nights. Buyer beware. March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck42 Great vacation stay My family and I felt special from the time we checked in until the time we checked out. The staff really made us feel so welcome. The housekeeping staff did an outstanding job of cleaning our room. The waitress that served us our breakfast every morning was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DonaldDuck Good budget hotel close to Disney Room was average, service was average, air conditioning unit leaked all over the carpet underneath it leading to our luggage being soaked on the sides touching the carpet. Housekeeping failed to pick up some trash we accidentally left behind making us wonder if all they did was make the beds. Didn't complain as we were just happy to get rest at the end of our long days at the parks. Overall, if the price was right and we just wanted a bed and a hot shower, we'd probably stay here again... just not on our next visit. July 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jimone Average Pluses: The room was comfortable, quiet, good price. Minuses: 1)Wall type A/C noisy; as they all are, really belongs in a cheap motel, not a Sheraton! 2)Resort fee, really just a forced charge for parking and Internet; which worked poorly in the room, by the way! 3)Transportation to/from Disney was inconvenient; don't offer if not ready to make it useable, ended up driving because wanted to take a break from Disney during the middle of 14 hours! 4)No transportation to Disney shopping area! 5)Tried to purchase Disney Tickets from Hotel twice; staff lost interest when I declined opportunity to attend a presentation! June 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Veryimpressedpatrons Excellent Customer Service by Safety & Security Team Our family recently enjoyed a 3 night stay at this property. When we returned, I realized I had left my ipad in our room. My husband called in the evening and left a message with an employee who took down the information and promised a return call. We received a call from Jean on the Safety and Security team by 7 am the very next morning, saying the lady who cleaned the room had found and turned in the ipad. I followed up with Diane in Guest Services that same morning. She was throrough, professional, informative and helpful. That same day, Luis, Safety and Security Manager, called me to tell me the ipad was on it's way to me. Luis even took the time to follow up with me the day the laptop was expected to arrive to make sure I received it. This team went above and beyond to make sure that I received my ipad and I am impressed by and grateful for their time and attention to this. What an outstanding example of honesty and diligence! The entire team should be commended. Thank you, all! April 8, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nathan75 Room & Pool were nice. Bus to Disney - not so much Stayed 6 nights at this hotel in early March 2012. The room was recently renovated and comfortable. Pool area appeared to be all new and was above expectations. Staff was helpful. However, the bus to DisneyWorld left much to be desired. A single bus served 4 local hotels, and the schedule was quite awkward. Because of the number of hotels included, it took a long time to get back from the park. Bus also carried almost double the "maximum passengers" back to the hotels each evening. They were also older busses - one evening the bus broke down and it took 90 minutes to get back to our hotel. Overall, I would recommend the hotel - but the free shuttle leaves much to be desired... March 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike333 Best Bang for the points! This was a really great resort with 2 nice pools and outstanding staff and a brand new Spa. I highly recommend the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista Resort. This was the best bang for our points, by far! April 2, 2013

Utter Human Murder Lyrics - Myrkskog
Utterly improved slasher purity through defection
A symbol of withhold and the detection
Conceal the hands that cut the throat
Sense the land under the dark coat
Hey man, tired of being a loser?
Tired of being a redneck?
What about a fucking wreck?
I think you should put your life under check
Hostility ends any conflict
Just take out any of the specimen click
C mon, just give hate a chance
It s not the worst you could possibly adhere to
Chaos theory, listen and submit
Your life seems to be like shit
So, it s utter human murder
What prevents us from going any further?

If you go into the comments there's more details on the upcoming weddings. Most prominent are the wedding dates. Chad and Erin have settled for November 2nd (two months to plan a wedding- yikes!) and Zach and Whitney are looking at March next year. Hooray for the Bateses!
Also in the news, Zach has bought a ring for Whitney and Chad told Erin which day he was going to propose. No room for surprise in this family.

Contact: State Reps. Sean Roberts and John Bennett
Office: (405) 557-7322
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act was approved unanimously today by the House Public Safety Committee.
House Bill 2021 would exempt guns or ammunition made in the state from federal regulations, but specifies that to qualify for the exemption the guns must be clearly marked as "Made in Oklahoma" and kept within state boundaries.
"The Second Amendment is clear – the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," said Rep. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, HB 2021 author. "The federal government should not interfere with that amendment or how a state wants to administer that right within its boundaries. We must, as a state, protect this amendment and the entire Bill of Rights, because the founders wanted the states to have control and not the federal government."
State Rep. John Bennett, another one of the bill's numerous authors, said state lawmakers have been flooded with requests to resist further federal regulation of Second Amendment rights.
"My constituents have called me, phoned me, emailed me and talked to me in person," said Bennett, R-Sallisaw. "Oklahomans generally support the position of the National Rifle Association, which is that mentally-healthy, law-abiding citizens should not be restricted in their right to carry a firearm. Our legislation exempts guns and ammunition produced and sold locally from federal regulations."
Bennett said he and several lawmakers have sent letters to gun manufacturers inviting them to Oklahoma.
"Additionally, I have joined Reps. Sean Roberts, Dustin Roberts, John Enns, Dan Kirby and R.C. Pruitt in signing and we sent a letter requesting numerous gun manufacturers come to Oklahoma. We have sent them a copy of HB2021 as well as touted our pro-Second Amendment laws we have in this state, as well as the citizens' support, to ask these companies in other states to move out of their anti-gun states and move here to Oklahoma. Most recently we sent a letter to MagPul Industries in Boulder, Colo. The Colorado state legislature, which is controlled by Democrats, has passed strict gun laws that cripple MagPul Industries. We believe we are better suitors for this company in Oklahoma, so we are courting these companies to relocate to Oklahoma and create hundreds if not thousands of jobs," Bennett said.
Roberts and Bennett are authors of the measure, along with state Reps. Mike Ritze, Josh Cockroft, Jadine Nollan, Arthur Hulbert, Mike Reynolds, Jason Murphey, Sally Kern, Lewis Moore, Mike Sanders, Mike Turner, Tom Newell, Dan Fisher and David Brumbaugh.

The Training of O
The Training of O will blow your mind if you have even a passing interesting in hardcore bondage. The models are smoking hot, the premise is fantastic and the execution is flawless. The bondage is excellent and the pain is real and fantastically arousing. It doesn't hold a candle to the rough sex though.

I have had a least 3 occasions this summer to visit the Bear Lake Community Health Center for two different problems. I found the staff, DJ Ballingham, in particular, courteous, knowledgeable and quite competent.
The pharmacy incredibly fast and friendly. It also had the cheapest prices on drugs that I have ever seen. They even match other pharmacies' prices. Very good service!
