The Miami Dolphins have always been an extremely loved and supported professional sports team in Southern Florida. The Dolphins have fans that span out beyond the immediate Miami-Dade County and regional spectrum, though the amount of support that exists locally is non negotiable. This is immediately noticeable to tourists who visit the city and stay in a great Miami hotel . The city is incredibly supportive of its sports teams and the Miami Heat is also loved endorsed by the community. Both teams have a lot to be excited about this season, which contributes to the overall dynamic of the city’s atmosphere.

The Miami Dolphins are coming off of a Sunday win against the Minnesota Vikings. And while the Dolphins clearly dominated most of the play, it was a slow moving game and points were hard to come by. The Dolphins kept up the pressure and eventually found there way to a 14 to 10 win over the Vikings. And while Basketball season has yet to get underway, the Heat in Miami continues to rise with the recent formation of the new Bermuda Triangle. Miami favorite Chris Bosh and teammate Dwayne Wade welcome their recent acquisition from Cleveland Lebron James. James’ controversial move to Miami was welcomed with much fanfare and excitement as the three are anticipated to create a major powerhouse for the team.

A Rose Grows in Florence


Notice: Undefined variable: button in /home/content/15/8824515/html/affairboard.com/wp-content/plugins/tweetmeme/tweetmeme.php on line 33

The city that saw the birth of contemporary art continues to see new births every day. Florence is a place where the weight of the past seems to infuse the present with new energy and meaning, rather than overwhelm it. The locals seem quite capable of picking up the charge to make something new, and explore unknown territories in art, food, and many other things.

One would imagine that it would be something of a challenge to be born in the city that once houses Dante, Da Vinci, Donatello, and so many others who carved their names in greatness. For Rose McGowan , it just seems par for the course, and the actor has inherited an enormously cosmopolitan persona. In part this is surely from the city of her birth, as well as the influence of her parents, French and Irish, who had her living in communes with them from an early age.

In larger degrees, though, one can’t help but recognize it also comes from an immense life force, and an intellectual curiosity about the world. Having once been partnered with Marilyn Manson, and then Richard Rodriguez, also wouldn’t hurt for building a biography that adds up to an interesting life. Guests in Florence hotels may not catch a glimpse of her except on television and in the movies, but the air of sophistication here helped her to embrace the worlds she’s encountered.
