New practice schedule paying dividends

The Dolphins' recent stretch of good play, with three wins in their past four games while outscoring opponents 105 40, is cheap jerseys no coincidence, coach Tony Sparano said.Once the team lost to Denver to drop to 0 6 in late October, Sparano went against everything he's been taught about running a football team."We've changed everything," Sparano said Friday as his team finished preparations for Sunday's game against Oakland. "It's pretty drastic."Sparano changed the schedule to allow his players more time to rest and recover."It's usually, let's get your work done in the morning, and let's get them out of the building,'" Sparano said. "This is different than anything I've been associated with before. That puts more wholesale jerseys of a stretch on us as coaches, forces us to do more work in the morning or later at night. But that's OK, as long as it's good for the players."Sparano also has lightened up his usually intense practices. The new collective bargaining agreement allows Sparano to hold 14 practices in pads this year, and Sparano said Friday he hasn't even used five so far in the first 13 weeks.Sparano said he believes it's the reason why the Dolphins are relatively healthy only guard Vernon Carey (ankle) is doubtful to play Sunday and why the players continue to play hard on Sundays."It's not all business like, and I think that's created a good environment for the guys," Sparano said. "There really is a tremendous buzz in the building in the morning when these guys come in."Sparano has also changed the way he conducts practices."Just been more efficient, quicker," Sparano said. "We've trimmed reps, we've moved periods, changed the way we lifted, change when we lift, change how we lift, how we stretch. Just changed a bunch of things around. It seems to have worked."Olshansky arrested: Former Dolphins defensive lineman Igor Olshansky, released by the Dolphins on Wednesday, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession on Thursday in his condo on Fort Lauderdale Beach.According to a Broward Sheriffs Office source, Olshansky, 29, was an unintended victim of an undercover bust as part of the BSO's two day program, Operation Cold Turkey, which arrested 280 people on Wednesday and Thursday.The undercover police had come to Olshansky's Fort Lauderdale Beach apartment to investigate Olshansky's friend, who was in possession of 19 grams of marijuana. Police arrested the friend, but cheap nfl jerseys also found probable cause to arrest Olshansky when he began rolling a marijuana cigarette in front of them cheap nfl jerseys on the kitchen table.Olshansky had seven tackles and a forced fumble in eight games with Miami. He had been hobbled by a calf injury recently, and the Dolphins waived him on Wednesday, though they will retain his rights and place him on injured reserve.Injuries: Carey likely will miss his first start of the season. Nate Garner replaced Carey last week against Dallas, but John Jerry played with the starters at Friday's practice. . Safety Yeremiah Bell (foot) is questionable but likely to play. . For the Raiders, running back Darren McFadden (foot), receiver Denarius wholesale nfl jerseys Moore (foot) and receiver Jacoby Ford (foot) were among six players ruled out for Sunday.

Bond set for Franklin men accused in teen

Bond was set Tuesday at $1 million each for two Franklin men accused of beating a Dayton teen to death while robbing him for drugs and money.Michael A. buy fake oakleys Geldrich, 36, and Michael J. in Franklin replica christian louboutin shoes Municipal Court where they were issued court appointed attorneys. The men, who are charged with aggravated robbery and murder, are being housed at the Warren County Jail.Judge Rupert Ruppert set a preliminary hearing for Dec. 10 and said the case could go directly to a grand jury. He told the defendants that depending on the grand jury's determination, this could become a death penalty case.Geldrich and Watson planned the robbery of Dione Payne, 16, of Dayton, who had been staying at Geldrich's house on Vernon Street, according to a sworn affidavit signed Monday by Franklin Detective Jeff Stewart."During the robbery Geldrich struck the male victim (later identified as Payne) with a table leg, fists, stomped the male with his boots and repeatedly struck the male victim's head against the floor," Stewart said in the affidavit obtained exclusively by this newspaper. Sunday in the emergency room at Atrium Medical Center in Middletown. A Middletown police report states the unconscious teen was pushed into the emergency room in a wheelchair by one of the men who then quickly fled the area.Hospital personnel said Payne was in critical condition and had "heavy damage to his head and was bleeding from his ears," according to the police replica louboutin shoes report. He also had "heavy damage done to his chest from what appeared to be someone striking him repeatedly."Because of the severity of his injuries, Payne was transferred to Miami Valley Hospital. Hospital personnel there contacted Middletown police and stated the teen appeared to have been sexually assaulted, according to the police report.Payne's mother Tamiko Payne was sitting in the front row of the court during Tuesday's arraignment along with about 15 friends and family. She told this newspaper in a phone interview prior to the hearing that the two men accused of her son's death "premeditated this."When Geldrich's face appeared on the television monitor during the video arraignment, Tamiko Payne looked at him for several minutes and shook her head before bursting into tears and running from the courtroom, sobbing loudly, "Oh my God." She returned a few moments later before the hearing began.The family declined comment outside the courtroom following the hearing, but friend Donna Parson said they want both men to receive the death penalty."This is what they deserve. Death," she said.

The teen was just released Oct. 22 from the custody of the Ohio Department of Youth Services following an assault conviction.According to Dayton Police reports, that incident involved him firing five shots at his mother's boyfriend after an argument at the family's home in October of 2012.

He was transported to juvenile detention where a small amount of cocaine was found in his pocket, according to the report.Despite this past trouble with the law, Payne's mother insisted that he never did drugs or drank alcohol."He never met a stranger," Tamiko Payne said during the phone interview. She thinks being that trusting of a person may have had something to do with Dione's death.According to police reports, one of the men told hospital personnel that they had found Payne, though they didn't specify where, and that they did not know him.But the family said from what they've been able to gather, Payne was picked up by Michael Watson at his home on Dennison Avenue on Saturday and driven to the 11 Vernon St. home in Franklin where he was raped and beaten.Tamiko Payne said she was at work at the time and doesn't know how Watson and her son became acquainted. Her older son Johnny said he was also away from the home on Saturday, but spoke to his brother later in the day and thought he was just out with friends."When nobody heard from him on Sunday that's when we got really worried," he said.Tamiko Payne said her son was a good student who attended West Carrollton City Schools for a time when he was younger and most recently attended Longfellow Alternative School in Dayton.He loved science, according to his mother, and played drums for the Western Stars Drill Team when he was younger.On his Facebook page, Payne made several statements in recent months about the possibility of dying young.Franklin Police Chief Russ Whitman issued a statement Tuesday saying "there is no evidence whatsoever" that the beating of Payne was replica oakleys racially motivated. A friend of Payne's family suggested after the court hearing that race was a factor."All evidence points to the crime being drug related," Whitman said in the statement. "Any suggestion that this is a 'hate crime' or racially motivated is not based upon actual evidence."

Lanzarote travel guide

Lanzarote is in the same time zone as London (GMT). Its name comes from the Spanish word for 'Joy'. The terrain is mostly flat, home to only one small volcano. The island is part of a conservation act with (Chinijo Archipelago) Natural Park, so it has no active or documented inhabitants. The historic lighthouse of (Punta Delgada) can be found on the eastern part of the island. Built in 1865, it was declared a historical monument in December 2002. It is also apart of the Islands conservation groups Parque Natural del Archipilago Chinijo, Reserve of the Biosphere, and "Marine Reserve of La Graciosa". Having only a population of approximately 700, there are only two inhabited areas on the Island. those areas are Caleta del Sebo and summer friendly Casas de Pedro Barba. The island has a school, lyceum, post office, supermarkets, a bank, port, beaches, and except bar restaurants a square where bicycles can be hired (plaza). The main industry of the island is tourism and fishing. The climate of the island is one of the most commonly reported pull factors for travelers. Streets and roads on La Graciosa are unpaved sand. The Gracioseras can often be seen early each morning sweeping the streets smooth of the previous night's footprints. Motor vehicles are strictly prohibited and limited to a handful of licensed vehicles for special purposes. Since the roads are bad, and cars have to be shipped to Lanzarote for repair, about 70% of the motor vehicles on wholesale jerseys the island are old Land Rovers which often can be repaired by a local serviceman. There are no natural water sources on the island. The Phoenecians were there, followed by the Romans. The Arabs then settled the island, the French explored it, and the Spanish conquered it.

The island thrived for a while by producing cochineal, an expensive, crimson dye taken from the carapace of a scale insect that lives on cactus. Cochineal is used for dying fabric, decorating china, in cosmetics, and as a food colouring.

The eruptions in 1730 1736 covered a quarter of the island's surface, destroying its most fertile farmland and eleven villages. Still, visitors marvel at how stone walls and semi surrounds are used to capture moisture to grow crops elsewhere on this decidedly desert island.

The coherence and beauty of the island's cheap jerseys cultural and tourist centres is largely the legacy of the local artist Csar Manrique (1919 1992). He also played a key role in having the island declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993.

[edit] Talk

Lanzarote islanders speak Spanish (Castilian) with a distinct Canary Island accent and some vocabulary not found on the Spanish mainland. so most people working with tourists can speak at least some basic English.

Most restaurants offer menus in Spanish, English, and German. Although, do remember that this is a Spanish speaking island and try not to get too flustered if the local people cannot understand you. Many residents speak some English or German as a second language, but it helps inmensely to speak slowly and using simple words and/or grammar when not being able to speak Spanish.

[edit] Get in

The island's only airport is just to the west of Arrecife, with the airport designator code ACE. In addition to the charter flights that serve Lanzarote from Northern Europe, there are scheduled flights operated to some of the other Canary Islands, to the Spanish mainland and to a few international locations, most notably London (Gatwick).

Some of the airlines serving Lanzarote (ACE) include: Iberia, Air Europa, EasyJet, British Airways, Monarch, Thomsonfly, Thomas Cook, Hapag Lloid, Air Berlin, Jetair, Lauda Air, Aer Lingus, Ryanair, and Jet2. Two local companies Islas Airways Binter Canarias, with mostly flights between the Canary Islands.

[edit] Get around

Bus and taxi are good value on the island. Car hire is also relatively cheap and is the best option for discovering the remote wilderness regions. It only takes about 40 minutes to cross the entire island from North to South by car, and about 25 minutes across.

Lanzarote tends to be a bit windy, and often a bit more in July, making motor scooters or bicycles a little difficult and risky.

The Airport is served only by a small bus that stops at both terminals to the city of Playa Honda and the Capital Arrecife, so it would be necessary to go there to connect to other destinations by BUS. Buses leave about twice per hour daily for most of the day, except for Sundays when there is a reduced schedule. Check ARRECIFEBUS for bus schedules (bus line 23). As in 2006, bus fare from the airport to Arrecife is cheap nfl jerseys about 1 and wholesale nfl jerseys from Arrecife to Puerto del Carmen about 1.5. A Taxi ride from the Airport to Puerto del Carmen can range from 12 to 24. And around 30 Euros to the resort of Playa Blanca at the south of the island.

ATMs. ATMs at the airport charge about 8 euros to get cash, wait until you get into the resorts where it will be 1.50 euros

Timanfaya National Park is a volcanic landscape that has barely changed since its eruption in the 1730s and covers a quarter of the island's surface. For many, the highlight of their visit to Lanzarote.
