MIAMI GARDENS — You wonder what will motivate the Miami Dolphins (6-8) in Sunday’s game against San Francisco 49ers (6-8) at Hard Rock Stadium. The season, from where things stand now, will likely be judged as a disappointment, at best, and there’s a good chance it’ll be determined to be a disaster.
Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver didn’t have any problems rattling off reasons the Dolphins should be motivated for their last three regular-season games — against San Francisco, at Cleveland and at the New York Jets.
“This is our last home game, and our fans deserve our best effort,” Weaver began.

Former ballerina Jessie-Sierra Ross — the voice behind the “Straight to the Hips, Baby” blog — knows a thing or two about the art of presenting something beautiful.
Growing up, she writes, she loved helping her mom bake and observing icons like Julia Child and Martha Stewart make culinary magic. As her career into professional dancing progressed, she found that role complicated her relationship with food — she describes feeling like she had to deny herself decadence in what she ate, but she continued to develop an appreciation for plating and the artistry of a well-laid table.
