"Photo and Noisy"
We were only in the area for one night, and had a very early train to catch to Milan the next morning.... Our room as was way too hot for comfort and we were near the stair case which acted as a "noise funnel" fom the bar area. They had some local entertainment singing to a nonexistent crowd and the noise was plenty load enough to be head well on the […] first flow where ur room was. We would not go back....

"Outdated Hotel on the beach."
The rooms in this hotel need to be updated. Also, the beds are very hard.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, but the rest is so so."
Tirrenia in the summer can be a zoo and the Continental is right in the middle of it with it's own beach and pool. We went for the beach access and the pool. The hotels side of the beach could have used the newer flat bed loungers that were avaiable on toher parts of the beach but the chairs were comfortable enough. All very nice. That being said - […] the hotel itself has seen better days. The rooms are clean but very utilitarian and the double bed is actually two twin mattresses tied together. The bathroom is functional but if you are larger than average the shower may be a challenge. The staff was fine, friendly, and courteous, but we did not have any real issues and no one had to go out of their way for anything for us. Dedicated underground secured parking a nice perk in this town. You have to pay for it but it was well worth the small fee. Breakfast is included and is pretty standard Italian beach town continental buffet. At the four star level I was hoping for something a bit more involved but it was completely acceptable.

"Service was impeccable"
Although an older style, somewhat dated, the hotel was clean. Convenient to area with a private beach, easy access. Wi-fi did not function in room, but available in lobby only. Staff was wonderful, social and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
the staff was very accommodating and friendly. the hotel is older so it didn't have modern features (only 1 electrical outlet in the room and 1 in the bathroom). no kleenex in the room and the shower stall is small. the housekeeping staff did a good job of cleaning our room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"overall great..."
well the water is cloudy and the rules are silly, but the place was nice, and the service great. loved my room. not crazy about the town, but the hotel was very good for the price. loved having a balcony overlooking woods and the sea. : )Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bad value for money."
This hotel is not for long stay. The rate 4 stars is not right. Maybe 3- . Room cleaning was great. Not much to do in the evening. The sea is just in some meters. We will not stay there again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beach and City Location Hotel"
My husband and I recently stayed in Tirrenia. The location was great for our trip expectations to enjoy the beach and the city of Pisa. However, the four star rating didn't really stand out for us. The king bed (two singles pushed together) was very hard. We were less than pleased when the housekeeping service did not change the towels left on the bathroom […] floor, but instead hung them on the rack on top of the clean towels. On a good note, the complimentary breakfast was great and offered an assortment of options in a buffet style. The bus stop was just across the street from the hotel, for cheap transportation into Pisa. However, please note that you should not expect to take the last scheduled bus out of Pisa because sometimes the drivers decide to leave work early and don't keep the schedule. In that case, the cab back was 35 EUR rather than 2 EUR for the bus. The bus rate on Sunday is 2.50 EUR. There's a night club across from the hotel and several restaurants in the same area within walking distance. We had a great time anyway! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Hotel Continental at the beach"
Lovely hotel, nice staff. Great breakfastsGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best in Tirrenia"
Grand Hotel Continental is my choice in Tirrenia. The rates are affordable, and there is easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. The staff is always friendly and the rooms are clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, but that's all!"
If you want a hotel with a great pool and the only beach access on the beach side of the main road through this sleepy Tuscan town, this is the place for you. Large rooms with a cleaning staff that makes the rooms liveable through their spotless work is a plus, as is its location, both beachside and paces from the town center and 75% of Tirrenia's restaurants. But […] it is precisely its location that has caused this place to lapse and, in my opinion, not worthy of its 4 star claim. The staff is cordial at best, haughty at times, and downright a joke at the beach (confrontational is putting it mildly). This hotel has a unique location, a consistent clientelle that includes the airline crews flying in and out of Pisa (only a 15 minute drive to the historic center), and convenience, convenience, convenience. The rooms are in serious need of renovations, the air-conditioning is bearable only on high setting (good luck if the temp rises above 90dF, the staff never eager to assist (except late night), and the beach staff lazy and prone to off hours bouts of intolerable behavior on hotel property. Before anyone jumps to "ugly American" syndrome conclusions about the review, please know that I speak Italian fluently, used to live in this town many years ago, and stayed at this hotel as part of a 2+ week vacation with my family. My reviews of all the other hotels during our vacation run the full range of pleasant and were all acceptable/recommendable. The beach is still wonderful here, as is the food, location, and closeness to Pisa (best town in all of Italy). But the hotel and its staff, probably due to its unique position in Tirrenia, leave much to be desired. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A 2 star level at best, ranked as 4 star."
The hotel is way below its ranking. Basic 4 star hotels are missing and misrepresented. The Airconditioning was not working. The hotel starts it only in June and it was noisy and hot at night. There are only 2 electrical outlets in the room and these are used for the TV and refrigerator. Hence you will have to give up those to charge your phone or computer. […] The furniture is very basic. The corridors have a very stron and unpleasant odor. The elevators are small and for our wing we had to climb down and up half a floor to get to them (of course having to lift our suitcases to get there as well. There are no porters or bell boys to help with anything. The front desk was populated many times with just one person during the day / evening and one would have to wait for an unreasonable amount of time to get the room key and an answer to a question. The hotel is rather far from Pisa not the most convenient for touring the city. Parking in the hotel garage is with an additional charge and the public lot was full during the weekend.

"Grand Hotel Continental - right on the beach!"
We were there in April so the water was too cold and the pool was not open. But we were able to walk along the beach and enjoy the scenery. You see sailboats and kayaks. People walking and playing in the sand. The sun was out and we had beautiful days. The hotel is located in Terrenia which is a 15 minute drive to Pisa. The hotel entrance is just the […] parking lot distance away from the bus stop to take you to the train station in Pisa. That takes closer to 30 minutes. Be sure to validate your ticket on the bus in the little machine. They have a wonderful breakfast buffet. Cold cuts, croissants, breakfast sweet breads, scrambled & hard boiled eggs, bacon, cereals, a juice machine, coffee machine with many different flavors. Dinner was great but do remember that many dishes have seafood in them b/c they are close to the water. If you are allergic or don't like seafood they had a beef and chicken course. They don't serve wine by the glass; only the bottle. If you ask for a recommendation for a restaurant in the area they will gladly recommend some places for you at the front desk. And there are some little shops out front in their little square plus they have some vendors that sit out with their little white tents selling souvenirs, homemade goods, focaccia, pretzels, and cheeses. I would definitely stay here again if I were there during the warmer months and just sit on the beach. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not a four star hotel"
We did not feel the hotel was a four star hotel. While the interior was acceptable the exterior was in poor shape. It gave a poor first impression that was hard to overcome later. We were further dissapointed by the fact that the 50m swimming pool was empty of water in late April.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Right where we wanted to be"
The hotel is located right on the beach, across the street from a GREAT Italian Ice Cream shop. I'd been past the hotel many times over the past 30 years (but always stayed a few miles away at the military campground) and always thought it was a good location. The staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was very good with a good selection of […] foods. The rooms were well cleaned and maintained (they were repainting hallways and other 'repairs' in the building during our stay) and our balcony had a great view of the beach, which was great for watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. The only very minor drawback, the pillows (extras were in the closet) are very thin. If I get to make anymore trips to the Pisa area, I'll plan on staying here again.

"Well situated hotel & good facilities"
The hotel was better than expected and had good facilities including an Olympic size pool, private beach and small gym. The décor is a little tired in places, but found hotel to be generally good value for money. Rooms were always very clean and there was always plenty of breakfast - though we did go end of season, so staff weren't so stretched.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel close to the beach with huge pool"
Overall the hotel was very good, clean rooms and spacious. We were originally given a room overlooking the street, which had a sea view, but asked if we would be able to change to a pool view. The reception staff were very helpful. The hotel is in a central location, the only thing I did not like was that outside the hotel the street held a market every […] day and night for cheap goods which made the area look shabby.

"Overall feel"
It is a lovely hotel but my experience was disappointing. On my first night water leaked from the air conditoning into my room. There was no apology from staff and eventually I had to persuade them to turn it off so I was safe overnight. Not a good start. No apology the next day though they did fix the problem at my insistence only. You would think […] they would have tried to make it up to me by perhaps special attention in the dining room. Not a bit of it as the only female there on her own I was served last with not much grace. The second day I ordered what I thought would be a meaty rump steak. I don't know what it was but it was inedible. Again when I came to leave there was no apology, no nothing. However the hotel is in a beautiful location and the rooms are of a high standard; however dodgy cuisine. I was glad only to be there for 2 nights although I adored the beach location.

"A tired hotel"
This was a tired looking 60's hotel although rooms are comfortable. Great location by the sea and beach although this was packed with holiday makers - wish we has considered the impact of All Italy being on holiday in August. I would also have expected that sun beds on the beach would be free of charge for hotel guests, particularly a hotel group of […] this standard and price. The swimming pool was excellent for an early morning swim but again all beds and umbrellas taken by midday. - Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel, good service, a few minor irritations"
Great location only minutes from Pisa Int'l Airport. Hotel was well kept and staff were very professional. Breakfast was included but had little to no nutritional value. Hotel restaurant was nice but expensive. Other local cuisine is just OK, and fairly expensive by N. American standards. On-site free parking was generally available from Mon-Thurs, […] but Fri night through Mon morning requires a pass from the front desk (50 Euro deposit), otherwise you have to pay at metered spots on adjacent streets. Special events in the hotel parking lot also cause parking disruptions. Wi-fi is available only in the lobby and you need to get a password from the front desk. Housekeeping is OK but room amenities are lacking. The small bar fridge is fully stocked, so it's hard to store anything bigger than a slice of pizza. The bed was big (two twins jammed together as a "king"), but it was rock hard with really slim pillows. Perhaps our biggest complaint was the lack of an iron and ironing board to press our clothes, which was a necessity after traveling for 10+ hours. Laundry/pressing service was available (one day turnaround) for a steep charge, so we did without. Find a department store in town and buy a cheap iron. Pool and beach access are cut off around 7:30 pm for clean-up, so plan accordingly. Evening entertainment goes fairly late too, so don't plan on turning in too early unless you have earplugs. Despite the ranting though, we would go back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very comfortable hotel with massive pool"
The hotel lived up to expectations. The parking was free but this was a bit of a bun fight at times as public spaces were used in front of the hotel using a free pass (deposit E50). The hotel wanted E15 per night to use their underground garage although they did offer E10 per night. When I offered E100 for 14 nights this was refused. Only deckchairs […] are free on the beach although these are very comfortable. Sunbeds are E8 each per day on the beach only as around the pool they are free. Access to the beach is not possible at night which was disappointing. Not mentioned were free towels to use both around the pool and on the beach. We paid E20 Pisa tax upon checkout for 2 persons for 14 nights. Despite all this negativity we had a wonderful time in the resort. Breakfast was superb but we chose not to eat in the hotel for dinner as there were many interesting places nearby. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Last resort ?"
Hotel looks like a relic from the Soviet Block - 1960's architecture. Shame because the Swimming Pool is lovely and big but no one was using it (because we think it lacks character (say grass around or palm trees etc??). Bar area was dated but had a good choice of free nibbles (Olives, peanuts etc)Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel for convenience for bus and restaurant"
Great hotel with sea views from every window. 2Minutes to bus stop to Pisa. 1minute to beach. Lots of restaurants,cafes,bars and retail outlets in walking distance. We had dinner in the hotel which was superb. Breakfast over the week was slightly monotonous.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Pool was shut Oct 23 2012"
The hotel was great, the staff were lovely, and helpful. One of the reasons I booked it though was for the pool. The pool was full, but I was told it was not open because it was the end of the summer season. This was irrelevant to me! The weather was 24 - good English summer weather - we would have loved to use the pool! (Even just the paddling pool […] for my little boy). I would have stayed somewhere cheaper had I known.

"Traditional Italian Hotel in a good location"
This resort hotel is in an excellent position in a nice area very close to the beach. We visited off season so it was quiet. We liked the excellent food. Service was good and there was car parking right outside the hotel. The hotel is a little bit dated and could do with upgrading but this was not a big issue. It was good value for money.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel in a time warp."
This hotel is stuck in a time warp. First let me say that the staff do their best and were very friendly. However the hotel needs a major refit inside and outside. It is not a 4* hotel, at best it is 2*. It is a very large hotel that fills its rooms with coach trips. We paid for a superior quality hotel and did not get it. Some examples: the carpet […] in the breakfast area - possibly was green, now covered in black marks where food and drink have been spilled. The breakfast: coffee that tastes like the most bitter mouthwash ever concocted, food that could have been there for years. Thank goodness just over the road there are excellent coffee bars with food. The room: our second room - the one we were first allocated smelt like an Amsterdam coffee shop - a smokers paradise. The room we stayed in had mould around the shower base with sealant coming off, having been applied in lumps, toilet seat broken, marks on walls, carpets and on bed cover. The outside: Great swimming pool, but the masonary, paintwork and overall appearance of of the various buildings was poor - just through a lack of maintenance. The garage was excellent - thank you staff for letting us keep our car there during the triathlon - but the outside car parking is not private, is not available on Tuesdays - the hotel description suggested lots of quality parking. What a pity. Italy is a wonderful country, Tuscany is great - but this hotel is not as advertised. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very good hotel"
I read a couple of reviews before I left and was a bit concerned by some of them I hope mine will put some fears of others at rest. Some reviews mentioned that the hotel needed upgraded, to some level I agree but there is nothing wrong with the current decor, or furnishings. My room was clean the bed was fairly comfy (I'm quite picky about beds) and […] the bathroom had everything required and was clean. My room had a new TV with satellite programs (including approximately 10 English speaking news channels, and other languages). The pool was fantastic, and exactly what I wanted which was to swim lengths. Note to families the pool is suitable for children although the instructions say no ball games or blow up balls/toys. In the main the staff are fantastically helpful and always smiling, especially the reception staff. Some of the restaurant staff seemed less happy but I think that was due to being over worked. All the staff had a very good set of languages, once again especially the reception staff. The restaurant food was nice but not always what I wanted - there are a couple of restaurants I tried nearby (please note at the time of year I was there a lot of places had shut down for the season - late Sept). You must try da Marco - turn right out the hotel and head towards the sea its up some stairs, this was fantastic food and not much more than other restaurants.

"Italian heat"
IMPORTANT! Before I start I have to say that I have read almost all the reviews of the hotel. I understand why people complaint of the standard and such....BUT...please bare it in mind that in general Italian hotels' star rating is a little bit different. If you want to have a 4 start service you have to book a 5 star hotel; hence our lovely 4 start […] Grand Hotel offered more close to the 3 star accomodation than the 4. This has nothing to do with the hotel itself but the rating system. Knowing this before you book the accompdation will help to avoid any dissapointment. Ok...back to the review. The hotel is situated in an Italian holiday resort/town called Tirrenia, which is 30 minutes by bus from Pisa town centre. The hotel is right at the centre of Tirrenia and the bus stop just in from of the hotel, which is very convenient.The hotel was clean and well looked after service wise. The breakfast was of an upgraded 3 start standard so if you have a lots of dietary needs you would need some preparation. What was on offer was fresh and very tasty. The hotel has a swimming pool and additional access to the beach free of charge including the use of the beach beds and umbrellas. The hotel's location is excellent as offers best of both. You can enjoy excellent city tours #Pisa, Florence and Roma# and at the same time you can have a wonderful beach holiday at your door step. If you like your usual Spanish holidays please give this hotel a try. I am happy that I have found this gem. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Right on a beautiful sandy beach"
A wonderful hotel that has the biggest olympic size swimming pool I have ever seen! It has its own section of almost white sandy beach that is meticulously maintained. The resort of Terriana is small but has a handful of nice restaurants worth exploring. A bus which stops outside the hotel, is a cheap ride to Pisa costing just under 5 Euros return and […] is a 30 minute journey. This is ideal for all clients, business, couples and families as its location enables the hotel to meet all requirements. I would wholly recommend this to any one.

Wonderful little gem of a place, like a trip back to the fifties! Beach and pool are kept very clean (they even give you a bathing cap if you swim in the pool!) and looked after by an attendant. Just like a step back in time, and wonderfully relaxing. The breakfast was pretty awful, but lots of great restaurants and cafes in the area. There is a self-service […] restaurant at the beach which is great - really good food and choice, but quite expensive compared to eating outside the hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good value for money"
The hotel is well located just by the Tirreno sea, 10 minutes by car from Pisa and close to restaurants and local shops. It's an old fashion hotel and seems you have come back in time to 60's/70's with the old decoration. Nevertheless you'll find very comfortable, spacious and fairless clean rooms. I suggest you ask for the sea view because the other […] side room are towards the street in front of the hotel and sometimes it's a very busy street. The staff is not the very kind I've met but they were helpful always we need. The breakfast is ok. Because you're in Italy you expect to have fresh food, fresh juice but in this hotel is the opposite: seems they have bought the croissants, bread, etc. from a local supermarket and just arrange on the breakfast area.

There are a few resturants near the hotel and the food is good and not too expensive beware that alot of shops & resturants close down in the area middle September.

The Most Famous Hairdos in Sports
By Amber Lee ,
When it comes to hair, some people go by the mantra, "Shut up, it's just hair." Which is, quite honestly, a pretty fair point. It is just hair.
Most people have it. Plenty of animals have it. Even insects have hair.
It's not like it takes any special powers to grow it or anything (don't tell that to LeBron). It just exists in various lengths, colors and portions on the heads of most of the population. Unless you have the balls to Bic it, even balding people have some remnants.
So what's the big deal then? Well, as mundane as the general existence of hair may be, there's no denying it has the power to make an impression—and a lasting one at that.
If it was "just hair," people wouldn't still be talking about the great mullets, mustaches and memorable hairstyles of athletes from decades past. For some people it's just hair, while for others it's their chief physically defining attribute.
People in sports can make their hair famous, or their hair can make them famous. Sometimes it's a combination of both.
Here are some of the most famous hairdos in sports, past and present.
The flat top is making a comeback because it's a haircut that demands attention. I had absolutely no idea who the Knicks' Iman Shumpert was last year.
Now I know he's Iman Shumpert, the guy on the Knicks with the awesome flat top.
His stands out because of the little twists he puts on the classic. You'll notice it's oh-so-slightly asymmetrical, which draws the eye.
Shumpert also likes to periodically change it up with different designs shaved into the side of his dome, and he's even used it as advertising space. I love a man with some vision and creativity.
At the height of his fame and talent, English footballer David Beckham was one of the biggest stars in the world. In fact, even in retirement, he remains one.
Beckham's talent got him a job, but it was his ever-changing look that always kept paparazzi coming back for more. There was a time when it seemed Becks underwent an incredible transformation every six months.
And his hair was a major part of that. It's been long, short and buzzed. It's been spiked, feathered and slicked back. It's been brown, blonde and really blonde.
It didn't matter, though. Beckham always looked good. And he still does.
There is nothing interesting about the hairdo of Heat superstar and two-time NBA champion LeBron James. What little hair he actually has is clearly creeping away from his face slowly.
What makes it so famous is how self-conscious the King's receding hairline makes him.
LeBron has seemingly had a sweatband surgically attached to his skull for years, but it actually came off (and stayed off) for much of Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2013 NBA Finals.
It was weird—not his hair, but the fact that you could see his whole head. There are tons of bald ballers; LeBron just needs to embrace it.
They don't call the Heat's Chris Andersen "Birdman" for nothin'. He's got some type of bird of prey's wings tattooed on his arms and a hairdo that would make even the fanciest of cockatoos jealous.
Andersen may scare small children everywhere he goes, but I'm sure he'll find everything goes well with a championship ring. Even his notoriously colorful look.
Boston Bruins forward Jaromir Jagr had one of the most celebrated mullets in the history of hockey when he played with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the '90s. That's no small achievement either.
The annals of the NHL are decorated with the glorious, free-flowing mullets and mean mustaches past. So standing above them, if only by a single strand of feathered hair, is impressive.
Jagr lost his mullet right about the time he lost his soul, when he signed with the Washington Capitals in 2001. Although his latest eye-catching hairstyle is as memorable as anything he ever sported in the '90s—which is a good sign for the B's.
Jagr was still rocking the mildest of mullets during this year's playoffs, but the Fu Manchu distracts from everything.
Wow. Looks like someone is giving the corn-fed farmer's daughters of the Midwest exactly what they want. Not that I have any clue about that specific demographic.
I can't imagine there are many premenopausal women in Wisconsin who don't like the sight of Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews cooling down.
Especially considering it involves a lot of hair tossing, a wet white jersey and includes two tickets to the gun show—if you know what I mean.
Matthews has managed to achieve some level of sex-symbol status as an NFL linebacker, thanks to his lovely blonde locks. He was even once rumored to have been involved with another famous blonde, former ESPN personality Michelle Beadle.
I feel like this is kind of a sensitive issue. Basically, I'm calling out snowboarder Shaun White's hair as "famous" because it's long and red. That's pretty rare in the sports world...and the world in general.
It's just that ever since that whole South Park "gingers don't have souls" thing, it's definitely become a pretty touchy subject for the exceptionally small percentage of the population that actually has red hair and freckles.
So, I'm going to just err on the side of caution here and say that White's hair is famous—he's since cut it for charity, but these long locks are ever popular—and then leave it at that. Although...it's kinda funny that his last name is White but his hair is red.
Okay, maybe it's not that funny. Whatever. Leave him alone.
Before Metta World Peace, the Los Angeles Laker formerly known as Ron Artest, got his act together and decided on friendly and crazy instead of violent and mean, he was much more prone to "express himself" through his hair.
Sometimes he'd just switch up the color and have his stylist shave and dye a really weird shape on his dome. While other times he'd be more message-oriented, having a specific team name or Chinese characters shaved into his head.
I'd like to say the Chinese characters actually said something like "Crazy American lunatic," but since he probably knows the person who does his hair pretty well, that doesn't seem entirely likely.
In April 2011, Esquire magazine did a piece entitled "History of Mel Kiper Jr. Hair." The social hair anthropologist they apparently have on staff put into words what the public has always been thinking about his plastic-looking locks:
- It's fake-looking;
- It's plastered;
- It's so very puffy.
Like his very own Raven-black (with strands of silver) football helmet. So very appropriate, considering he's actually a Ravens fan. Kiper is almost as well known for his hair as his on-air spats with pretty boy Todd McShay, his archnemesis with much better hair.
There are other issues with Kiper's 'do too. His hairline is very strange, and he seems to purposefully accentuate it with the crunchy, slicked back, yet poofy, style that has come to be his signature look.
The A's Coco Crisp has had more hairdos over the years than you can shake a stick at. And believe me, you can shake a stick at an awful lot of hairstyles.
The more conservative among us might not be down with the sheer number of Crisp's looks, but I say the more the merrier. As long as you can pull it off, don't be afraid to change it up.
Crisp has rocked the Afro, cornrows, longer braids and shaved head throughout his career—and that's just to name a few. And, frankly, I think he's rocked every one of them.
For a while there, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's hair was one of the most talked about "issues" in sports. Seriously—it was addressed on a weekly, if not daily, basis by sports media from all over the country.
In an interview back in November 2010, via Sean Leahy of USA Today, Brady was asked if he had any intentions of cutting it at some point. He responded, "Probably not."
He went on to talk about the extra warmth it provides in the winter, but then he revealed who wears the pants in the Brady household when he suggested questions about his hair be deferred to his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen.
Which is ironic, because I don't think I've ever seen that woman in anything but underwear. Brady has since cut his mop-top mane, but just like that photo of him holding a baby goat, the memories will live on forever.

Nobody knows what's up with big man Andrew Bynum.
We know he's big. We know he's constantly injured. We know he's seemingly ambivalent about playing basketball. We know he kept the bench warm for the Philadelphia 76ers last season. That's about it.
Except for the hair. We know what's up with Bynum's hair—it's crazy…and getting crazier. Since the Lakers traded him to Philly, Bynum has pretty much stopped playing basketball to focus on freaking people out with his hair.
A number of Bynum's hairdos have made headlines, but in February 2013, he debuted this doozy. A half-cornrowed, half-crazy coif for the ages.
If you thought Rex was the Ryan brother most adept at making an unforgettable first impression, well, clearly you haven't seen much of Rob Ryan's antics.
The difference between them is particularly noticeable now that Rex has slimmed down and is trying his best to chill out, because Rob is as large as ever and chilling out is nowhere to be seen on his "to-do" list.
Rob is the bigger, bolder, brasher Ryan brother these days. Somehow he manages to dress like a hobo despite donning official NFL gear, and every time you see him you can't help but think: When was the last time this guy had a shower, a shave and a haircut?
The answer is probably never.
Kidding. He probably showers. He just looks like he doesn't.
Don King, boxing's most famous exploitative con artist, is almost as famous for his trademark messy gray crown of hair as he is for ripping off and ruining the careers of athletes like Mike Tyson.
I searched "young Don King" in Google and realized that the 81-year-old convicted murderer seems to have had this exact hairstyle his entire life. It was a little less gray at some point, but essentially the same.
I'd really like to see his baby photos. Just imagine a fussy baby wearing a lot of diamond pendents with that exact same hair. Well, that's what I'm imagining.
Steelers stud safety Troy Polamalu isn't known as a guy who craves the spotlight or displays attention-seeking behavior. He's quite the opposite—he's a beast on the field who basically disappears in the offseason.
Polamalu is soft-spoken, thoughtful and routinely voted as one of the most well-liked players in the NFL by both players and fans alike.
The only thing outside of football that brings Polamalu any significant attention is that hair of his. Those luscious locks were enough to get him an endorsement deal with Head & Shoulders and a lot of airtime in their commercials.
Polamalu has been growing his hair out, probably, for most of his adult life. It's curly, so you can't even see the true length of his hair most of the time—but when it's raining, you can see it reaches well below the bottom of his jersey at the longest point.
Tennis great Andre Agassi revealed himself to be a little less admirable after admitting, in his 2009 autobiography, he used crystal meth in the late '90s.
Good for him for finally being honest, but the details were just a bit too nitty and gritty. I realize he had some pages to fill, but sometimes less is more.
Although, less was never more when it came to Agassi's famed feathered mullet. In fact, the legend of his hair loomed so large in its own time that sometimes he felt he couldn't live up to expectations.
Which is why he often supplemented...with a wig. Sometimes it feels like you just can't trust anyone.
There really is no known explanation for the haircut of Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis. That being said, I've developed my own theory about why he remains steadfastly dedicated to looking like a Three Stooges reject.
You see, before the death of the great Al Davis, most people didn't even know that this guy existed—they certainly didn't know what he looked like. Al was the horrifyingly aged face of the Raiders who reveled in the spotlight his entire career.
So for all we know, Mark could've been locked in a closet all that time in an attempt to avoid power struggles. Or maybe he's just intimidating like his dad and nobody has the stones to have a frank conversation about his hair. You know the Davises have a stubborn streak a mile long.
I believe it's possible at some point that Mark was unaware of how ridiculous he looks, but now that he's the man in charge, there's no way he hasn't read some Internet gossip or stumbled into a conversation about it at some point. I think now he's just keeping it out of spite.
Or maybe it's a toupee? No. No! Right? It couldn't be.
Good lord...we're in too deep. Let's move on.
Any Simpsons fans out there know exactly what I'm referring to here.
Hall of Fame quarterbacks Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath actually had quite famous hair before it was contrasted in an episode of the still-running Fox cartoon during the seventh season in 1996.
The contrasting hairstyles of the QBs facing off in Super Bowl III were used as metaphor to explain (Grandpa) Abe Simpson's inability to get with the times.
It was said, via OldManSimpson.com, of Namath that "his wild, untamed facial hair revealed a new world of rebellion, of change."
Said Grandpa Simpson: "Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Johnny Unitas, there's a haircut you can set your watch to."
Now it's been over 15 years since I last saw a crew cut and didn't repeat that exact phrase.
These days, retired NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman has been making headlines for far more newsworthy reasons than his hair. Although, how "newsworthy" his trip to North Korea to visit his newest BFF Kim Jong Un is deemed is really up to the individual.
Self-appointed ambassadorships to American enemies will be short lived. However, Rodman's long and rich history of using his body, particularly his noggin, as a canvas? That will live on.
His hair-coloring antics wouldn't receive the same amount of attention today as they did back in the mid-'90s—because everyone does it. Rodman was a pioneer.

A business with a high dependency on water
Dow is a company specialized in innovative chemical, plastic and agricultural products and services. Its Terneuzen manufacturing facilities in The Netherlands require a significant amount of freshwater. However, the local water is brackish, requiring freshwater to be transported a distance of ~100 km. Because the freshwater is utilized by both industry and municipalities, Dow needs to reduce potentially major business risks of increased scarcity and increased costs of freshwater.
The Terneuzen project – using household water to reduce impacts linked to freshwater use
The objective of the Terneuzen project is to provide a long-term, cost-effective, reliable supply of water for the industrial site. Development of the "household wastewater utilization" project began in early 2005 with implementation occurring in early 2007. Together with regional partners, the utility provider Evides and the regional Water Board, a robust integrated water management system was created. Thanks to this scheme, the Terneuzen site is now taking the local community's treated wastewater, which was previously discharged directly into the river, and reusing it twice – firstly for steam production in manufacturing plants and then again in cooling towers – before releasing it into the atmosphere as vapor.
Since 2007, the site accepts more than 9.9 million liters of municipal household wastewater every day. Dow has been able to cut its freshwater use in half by using the wastewater from the municipality and also through recycling efforts. By managing water in this manner, Dow has also reduced the amount of brackish water required.
The underlying philosophy of this project is that freshwater should, in priority, be available for potable water use and thus industry should find innovative ways to reuse water multiple times.
Reducing impacts, while improving costs
Along with significant reductions in the amount of freshwater used by the site, an additional major environmental benefit lies in the fact that the household wastewater can be purified under lower pressure than the salt water that was used in the past. This translates into 65% less energy and 500 tons fewer chemicals to be used per year, and consequently 5,000 tons less CO2 is discharged annually. As an additional outcome, every liter of water is used three times, instead of once.
The result is a reliable long term water supply for the site which allows the manufacturing facilities to be cost effective. A key aspect of this project is the partnership between Dow, the water company Evides and the regional Water Board. This partnership allows water to be supplied for the same prices as Dow had paid in the past.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Campaign contributions totaling more than $364,000 have poured into lawmakers over the past two years from liquor wholesalers, package stores and the beer industry -- three groups that have traditionally opposed changing state law to allow wine to be sold in supermarkets.
An Associated Press analysis of campaign finance data shows that six members of the Senate Finance Committee, which is scheduled to take up the bill Tuesday, received a combined $38,000 from the three political action committees. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris of Collierville alone received $13,000.
The remaining five members of the Senate panel received no contributions from the three groups.
Members of the House subcommittee scheduled to take first action on the measure on Wednesday received $15,000 from the three PACs.

Fundraising Management Certificate
The Office of Graduate Admission at Lasell College is pleased to announce the addition of Fundraising Management as a new graduate certificate and concentration to its Master of Science in Management program. The curriculum includes Fundraising and Development, Planning and Writing Successful Grant Proposals, and Annual, Capital Campaigns and Major Gifts. Lasell's offerings in Fundraising Management complement the existing concentrations in Non-Profit Management, Elder Care Administration, and Marketing.
It's widely known that there is a tremendous demand for working professionals with an expertise in fundraising in the non-profit sector. Lasell's program is designed to give students a substantial foundation in fundraising and a capstone internship experience. Graduate students benefit from our convenient location and flexible course formats that range from 100% online to hybrid courses.
Required Courses for Fundraising Management
Fundraising and Development
This course examines the critical role of fundraising and development in successful nonprofit organizations. Students learn to analyze, plan, and evaluate a comprehensive fundraising program and to create elements of a professional fundraising portfolio. The course explores management and leadership issues associated with the rapidly changing field of development and philanthropy.
Planning and Writing Successful Grant Proposals
Federal, state and local governments and private foundations have billions of dollars in grant funding to help non-profit organizations carry out their missions. But demand for these resources has increased tremendously in recent years. If an organization is going to compete effectively for the funds it needs, it must develop and carry out a coherent fundraising strategy. Course presentations and exercises will cover differences among funding sources, how to research these sources and match a group's mission to a funder's philosophy and a detailed discussion of how to convert an organization's needs and assets into a successful grant proposal.
Annual, Capital Campaigns and Major Gifts
The core of any fundraising effort is the annual campaign. Develop skills that can provide entry into the fundraising profession or enhance your current initiatives. Topics include campaign organization (goals, plan, and calendar); the board and volunteers (their roles, responsibilities, recognition, care and handling); expanding the donor base; solicitation techniques and methods, prospects, ratings, and assignments; direct mail; special events; meetings and agendas; major gifts; and the organizational process.

Harness global carbon markets to help avoid deforestation
How can global forest carbon finance help avoid deforestation and boost rural incomes?
Global carbon markets can provide a strong financial incentive for countries to avoid deforestation. Forest is often converted to low value uses in developing countries.
For example, in Latin America and elsewhere, tropical forest is often cleared to create pastures worth just $300 a hectare, while releasing large amounts of CO2.
But industries in developed countries pay thousands of dollars to reduce their CO2 emissions by an equivalent amount.
In other words, the forest has greater value as a storehouse of carbon than as a low-grade pasture.
If developing countries could tap this value through global carbon markets they could use strengthen forest governance, support sustainable land use, and boost rural incomes.

Medical Treatment for Juvenile Rheumatoid ArthritisThe aim of treatment is to stop or slow down the progress of inflammation, thus relieving symptoms, improving function, and preventing joint damage and other complications. Specific objectives are to reduce joint swelling, stiffness, and pain; maintain full range of motion of all joints; and identify and treat complications early, when they can be stopped or reversed. The success of treatment is checked by regular physical examinations and interviews. Medication is the foundation of treatment in JRA. The medications that work best in JRA reduce inflammation, which in turn reduces symptoms. Aggressive, early treatment is the best way to stop or slow the disease over the long run. Various classes of medications used in JRA are described here. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain. They work by blocking an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which promotes inflammation.
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are not a single class of drugs. Rather, they are a wide variety of different drugs that act in many different ways. Their main similarity is that they interfere in the immune processes that cause inflammation and JRA. DMARDs can slow or stop the progression of JRA and thus prevent joint damage and disability.

New Family Medicine training centre provides "comfort of home"
A state-of-the-art medical centre that will serve as the academic home to family medicine residents in the School of Medicine was officially opened in Belleville this week.
It's part of a $6.6 million expansion of the university's family medicine residency program funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Queen's has provided $1 million towards the capital cost of the new centre.
"We are building on Queen's long-standing tradition of community-based family medicine training programs and further solidifying our presence as a regional School of Medicine serving communities from Oshawa to Ottawa," said David Walker, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences. "Family medicine residents from Queen's will spend their two years of training at the Belleville Queen's Family Medicine Centre, providing quality healthcare to area citizens."
Rebecca Holmes is starting her residency at the Centre next month. She says staying in one place has multiple benefits. "Through continuous interactions with patients, health care providers, and local agencies, an understanding of the community's needs develops," she says. "This allows residents to better address these needs, through advocacy, research, education and direct patient care. You also develop rapport and trust among your colleagues, and your constant presence helps to create your identity as a family medicine resident. Not only is it beneficial to your professional development, but you gain a sense of belonging with the people and the community, and soon it will have the comfort of home."
Residents, physicians and representatives of the Queen's School of Medicine, the South East Local Health Integration Network, and the city of Belleville celebrated the Centre's opening with a ribbon-cutting reception and tours of the facility.
"The Centre will be a tremendous addition to Belleville and the Quinte area," says Jonathan Kerr, the Centre's curriculum lead. "Our enthusiastic, dedicated group of family doctors will be working alongside keen, energetic family medicine residents from Queen's to provide outstanding family medicine care to our patients. By focusing on preventative care and chronic disease management, the Centre will provide more people with their own family doctor which will shorten wait times in local emergency rooms or walk-in clinics."
Features of the two-storey, 12,000-square-foot centre include:
• 22 high-tech exam rooms and a minor procedure room
• electronic medical records
• the latest medical equipment
• free parking for patients
The Centre currently houses five family physicians and two general surgeons, with two more family doctors scheduled to join over the next year and capacity for further expansion in the future.
Queen's family medicine residency program has also recently expanded to Oshawa and Peterborough.

Oven lies heat-less,
Parts strewn about the kitchen.
Hero makes it work.
A chef with no stove,
Fast food and cold-cuts, he eats.
Then fix-it-now helps.
Cold Shiner Kosmos
Sweats calmly on the coaster.
A day's work is done.
(Shiner Brewery is in Shiner, Texas)
Good day to all,
