In an interview Mourinho intimated that the modern Ronaldo was not on the same level as the Brazilian legend whom the Portuguese came into contact with at Barcelona.
"I became the head Coach of a team for the first time in 2000 [with Benfica], but before then I was an assistant at some great clubs and worked with great coaches and some of the best players in the world," he told ESPN.
"When I was 30 years old I coached Ronaldo – not that one, the real one, the Brazilian."

We're happy to introduce Sameer Bendre as he joins AgileScout as an Executive Contributor.
An FBI project to develop a digital case-management system to replace outdated, paper-based processes has been delayed again, despite the agency's decision to use agile development to hasten its completion. The system, called Sentinel, is now due to be deployed in May, eight months later than the FBI planned when it embarked on the agile development strategy.
In 2006, the FBI awarded Lockheed Martin a $305 million contract to lead development of Sentinel, but it took back control of the project in September 2010 amid delays and cost overruns. At the time, the FBI said it would finish Sentinel within 12 months using agile development…
The FBI attributed the glitches to overburdened legacy computer hardware and said the hardware will need to be upgraded to support Sentinel's use across the agency, according to the IG. (Looks to me that this may be a case of Agile development in hardware projects)?
"Because of the uncertainties associated with the hardware procurement and the cost associated with the additional delay in Sentinel's development and procurement, we remain concerned about the FBI's abilities to remain within its budget," the IG stated.
The agile development approach is a big bet for FBI CIO Chad Fulgham and CTO Jeff Johnson, former IT executives with brokerage firm Lehman Bros. (wait, did they come from the failed company? See our post on Lehman Bros and Agile), who inherited the project when they joined the agency in 2008 and 2009, respectively, and determined that a new strategy was needed to get the high-profile project across the finish line. – Seems like Lehman couldn't hold it together with Agile before…
Nay-sayers of Agile will rejoice as it could be said that Agile fails once again. *derp.

Lean Kanban University (LKU) has now opened it's doors for business.
This past week they announced the formation of the first-ever Accredited Kanban Training Program to address the growing demand for high quality training in the Kanban Method.
"The Lean-Kanban University Accredited Kanban Training Program exists to provide confidence to consumers about the quality of the Kanban training that they will receive. The program establishes the quality of Kanban training based on the status of 1) the organization, 2) the individual trainer, and 3) the training curriculum. Member organizations, their trainers and their training curriculums must meet the established criteria in all three areas in order to call their Kanban training "accredited" under the terms of the program."
"As demand for Kanban grows, consumers worldwide will benefit from trusted Kanban training delivered by our member firms," said David J. Anderson, the newly-appointed CEO of Lean-Kanban University."
A friend sent me the PR news clip about this but also included a link to Diploma Mills along with it… possibly to instigate me to write about it in a negative light. As a reporting organization, we write to tell the news, to enlighten people to things going on in the software development community. We report. You decide.
What do you think? Is the community ready for another certification program or diploma to show expertise?

"Start by doing what is necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible." – St. Francis of Assisi
This is great advice, and it even applies to teams doing software.
Find the priorities. Do what is necessary. Then as you learn, move towards doing the possibilities as they open up to you. Inspect, adapt, retrospect, improve… suddenly, you're doing the impossible: High-performance teams.
We're happy to introduce Ken "Classmaker" Ritchie as he joins AgileScout as an Executive Contributor.
Ken loves to help others build great systems and businesses, by:
From Ken:
"I love to learn, love to share, and help others do so. By modeling servant leadership, facilitating interactions, and promoting agile practices, I help others succeed in learning, relating, and contributing to the success of their groups by self-organizing around shared goals for business and personal growth. I enjoy collaboration!
My technical background includes several decades of "hard core" software development, diversified "been there–done that" experience, and many lessons learned. My agile journey began in the 1990's. I have been mentored by some amazing people, then hired to mentor others. Continue reading "[Announcement] – AgileScout.com Welcomes Ken "Classmaker" Ritchie as Executive Contributor"
We're excited to announce AgileScout's next update preparing us for the future of Agile Software Development News.
Focusing on the news you can use first and foremost. Our MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is rough on the aesthetics, but architecturally bad ass. What you don't see on the back end is the revamped site structure, architecture, and uber-SEO packaging.
We'll updated the site design in due time… stay tuned.
We're excited to pre-announce that we're growing, potentially by 3-4x in terms of contributors. This means that you'll get even better content, more often. Announcements of our lead contributors soon…
AgileScout.com will now become less of a personal brand of Peter Saddington, and more of a network/portal site for multiple writers and contributors. Peter will probably start a new twitter…
With our imminent growth, we've begun to think about hiring on potential contributors willing to help grow this community. If you're interested, drop us an email.
We're happy and excited to be reaching this stage of our modest site. It's because of our viewers, guest contributors, advertisers, and community that we've gotten this far (and been able to give away so much free stuff). We hope to continue our growth towards something that brings even more value to the software development community. Here's to 2012+!

[We review Agile and Scrum Tools, have you seen our Agile Scrum Tool List?]
This is review number 2. We took a look at Planbox a while back [see our original review here]. I particularly enjoyed reviewing it, giving some feedback and speaking with representatives from the Planbox team. What is so encouraging is that they have improved. Imagine that, an Agile team iterating and improving? Well, they did, and I welcomed a second review. Let's dive right in.
A bit of back story, these guys couldn't find an agile tool they liked so they built one. The better part of the Planbox we see today was generated by their careful attention to user needs and feedback including, their own.
As an Agile coach, maintaining performance with your Agile teams is super important. A couple thoughts for this Friday:
Hi Pete,
I have a question for you.
My IT department have what you would classify as a small pool of developers, architects and testers. As projects come along people are put on the projects – it can be a simple case of who's available. The projects are typical quite short 1-5 months. Some developers are regularly pulled off on support tasks.
I feel short projects make calculating velocity almost pointless when the teams change. By the time you have a good idea of velocity the project is almost done. In addition, people (management) always want to know near beginning of a project when it will be finished. With this in mind I have been using ideal days rather than story points to size items on the "backlog" (release scope).
However, I've discovered of late that some developers can't estimate very well. They also change their estimates dramatically when managers start questioning their estimates. Getting detail on some requirements can take weeks – either the true customer is not available or the feature requires investigation to know what's feasible.
Can Scrum or another Agile technique work in such an environment? Am I flogging a dead horse?
BTW: Are there any good forums that can answer similar questions in an anonymous way?
Best regards
Universities, such as Rutgers, based out of New Jersey, are now teaching Agile in their classrooms. Not only that, they are teaching the PMI-ACP, which we have covered a ton (see my experience with the PMI-ACP here).
The Rutgers University-Merit Systems course teaches Agile principles and practices used in Project Management to manage change through flexibility, adaptation and direct communication. During this intensive, three-day course, participants develop and employ an Agile design beginning with Sprint Planning and Scrums. Simulation is used during the class to reinforce important principles. Every day, participants are provided the opportunity to manage an Agile project in a dynamic real-time environment.
You know what I'm curious about? Who's training it!

This girl transforms… literally. All it takes is:
So here is my question:
"What would you consider the bottom line success metrics for a FULL AGILE TRANSFORMATION?"
Is there a formula? There has to be some foundational "check marks…" right?
What would you say?

"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." – Mark Twain
Sometimes people of the past knew what was up before it was marketed, franchised, sold, and credentialed.
Used properly, no one outside the company will ever see your strategy. They shouldn't see it… if you don't come up with provocative ideas, your strategy doesn't really mean anything. If your ideas merely repeat the adjectives on your pyramid, no one will pay any attention.
Great strategies yield great creative, and done right, the strategy will get no credit what-so-ever. Bummer, but that's the way it is. No one ever said, "I love that brand, they have such awesome Powerpoint decks."

Use Bandit Algorithms to automaticaly optimize your call to action in affiliate marketing posts. Write it and forget it.
Bandit Algorithms are the next generation of A/B testing. BayesianWitch is a cloud service which uses Bandit Algorithms to increase engagement and clicks on your blog. BayesianWitch is aimed at using Bandit Algorithms to optimize each of your posts individually.
For example, you might be writing an affiliate blog about shoes. At the bottom of the post you wish to include an affiliate link. BayesianWitch will allow you to test different phrasing for the call to action (the paragraph of text where you embed the link) - for example:
BayesianWitch will figure out which call to action performs better and display that to most of your users. As a result, you get more clicks. It's all automatic - you set it up and forget about it.
A detailed tutorial with screenshots is available here: http://bayesianwitch.com/blog/2014/bayesianwitch_usage_tutorial.html
Your BayesianWitch Account
BayesianWitch is a cloud service like Disqus or Akismet. This means that you must create a BayesianWitch account (at http://bayesianwitch.com/wordpress/index.html ) and your blog will send data to our servers. BayesianWitch has both free and paid plans, depending on how large your blog is and how heavily you use our service.
BayesianWitch collects two types of data from you. First, whenever you set up a Bandit, WordPress will send the contents of the bandit to our cloud servers. Second, in order to figure out which version of the bandit performs better, BaysianWitch must track the behavior of your users. We track your users by embedding a javascript tracking widget on your page, similar to Google Analytics or Chartbeat.

Q: I am 43 years old, and several of my older friends have been told by their doctors that they have osteoarthritis. I'm worried. What can I do to prevent osteoarthritis?
A: There is much that you can do to prevent osteoarthritis. No cure for arthritis exists, so growing emphasis is being placed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on prevention.
Your concern about arthritis is well founded. Arthritis affects 43 million Americans (one in five adults and half of the elderly) and is expected to impact about 61 million by the year 2025. The Arthritis Foundation reports that another 23 million adults currently have arthritis but have not been doctor diagnosed (see www.arthritis.org). Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in America and limits everyday activities such as dressing, climbing stairs, getting in and out of bed, and walking.
Arthritis means joint inflammation and refers to more than 100 different conditions that affect your joints and other body parts. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, a process that starts when joint cartilage breaks down, sometimes eroding entirely to leave a highly inflamed, bone-on-bone joint (Figure 1).
Do your best to control the risk factors for arthritis-this is the key to prevention. According to the CDC (www.cdc.gov/arthritis), the factors listed below increase the risk of arthritis. Some of these risk factors are modifiable, whereas others are not.
Nonmodifiable risk factors include the following:
* Age. The risk of developing most types of arthritis increases with age.
* Sex. Arthritis is more common in women, accounting for 60% of all cases. Gout is more common in men.
* Genetic. Genes have been identified that are associated with a higher risk of certain types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Modifiable risk factors include the following:
* Overweight and obesity. Excess weight can contribute to both the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis.
* Joint injuries. Damage to a joint can contribute to the development of osteoarthritis of that joint.
* Infection. Many microbial agents can infect joints and potentially cause the development of various forms of arthritis.
* Occupation. Certain occupations involving repetitive knee bending are associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.
If you are overweight, a key strategy in arthritis prevention is to achieve and then maintain normal weight throughout adulthood. Obesity increases the risk of osteoarthritis 4 to 10 times more than that of normal weight adults (1). Obesity produces changes in the joint cartilage cells that decrease their ability to keep the joint lined with a thick, smooth layer of cartilage. Over time, the cartilage in the joints of overweight individuals breaks down, sometimes eroding entirely to leave a bone-on-bone joint. The "National Arthritis Action Plan: A Public Health Strategy" organized by the Arthritis Foundation and the CDC has identified weight management as a key strategy for the primary prevention of knee osteoarthritis in the general population (www.arthritis.org).
Beware of claims that certain types of foods cause arthritis. The link between diet and arthritis is still being investigated. Some studies suggest that higher intakes of red meat and total protein and lower intakes of fruit, vegetables, and vitamin C are associated with an increased risk of arthritis and that the Mediterranean-type diet may have protective effects, but much more research is needed before a consensus can be established (2).
Another important preventive strategy is regular physical activity to attain aerobic and muscular fitness. There is growing evidence that individuals who stay lean and fit as they grow older are at a much lower risk for the development of osteoarthritis compared with their obese and unfit counterparts (1, 3). Thigh muscle weakness has emerged as a predictor of future knee osteoarthritis, so keep your legs strong through daily exercise (e.g., brisk walking up and down hills and stairs) (3).
You may have heard that osteoarthritis is a "wear-and-tear" disease, and fear that high amounts of walking, jogging, cycling, and other forms of exercise will thin out the cartilage in your knee and hip joints. For most people with healthy joints, this simply is not true. Data from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study indicate that regular physical activity reduces the risk of hip and knee osteoarthritis for both men and women (4) (Figure 2).
Other studies demonstrate the importance of regular physical activity in lowering your risk of osteoarthritis and that obesity and previous joint injury are the real concerns. For example, a study of 800 men and women in Finland showed that risk of osteoarthritis decreased with increasing hours of recreational physical exercise (5). Another study of more than 5,000 subjects showed that participation in physical activity as an adult did not increase the risk of hip or knee osteoarthritis (6). Among walkers and runners, there was no association between the frequency, pace, or weekly training mileage. Instead, older age, previous joint injury and surgery, and obesity were confirmed as the most important risk factors for knee/hip osteoarthritis.
If your joints are healthy, the cartilage will respond positively to regular exercise and will not thin out. For those who have experienced a traumatic joint injury, however, risk for osteoarthritis is unusually high. In one study, individuals with a prior history of knee injury were eight times more likely than those without injury to develop knee osteoarthritis later in life (7). There also is evidence that risk of knee osteoarthritis is increased in those who kneel or squat for more than 2 hours a day as a part of their work, especially if they are obese or engage in heavy lifting (8).
In summary, normal knee and hip joints (i.e., those without underlying biomechanical problems or prior traumatic injury) respond well to regular physical activity and do not "wear out." Keep your legs strong through daily exercise and keep lean, and your odds of developing arthritis will fade (and not your joint cartilage).

(En español: Amigdalectomía)
Say: tahn-suh-lek-tuh-me
Tonsils are those two bumps on each side of the back of your throat. Your tonsils are "germ catchers" for your body. Sometimes, though, these germs multiply, hang out on your tonsils, and make them swollen, red, and painful. Usually, medicine can make you better. But if you keep getting tonsil infections - called tonsillitis - doctors can help by performing an operation called a tonsillectomy, where they take your tonsils out. Luckily, our tonsils aren't super important parts of our bodies, so you won't miss them when they're gone. And while your throat is healing, you can have all the gelatin and ice cream you can eat!

For most teams, the cold winter weeks between the holiday season and Spring Training are the time to wrap up loose ends and find a bargain or two. For the Tigers, though, January has been more like holiday shopping. Whether it'll be anywhere near that kind of January for Detroit this time around remains to be seen.

Common Cx roadblocks
There are several mistakes a commissioning agent can make that will create roadblocks in the commissioning process.
Failure to engage the Cx agent early in the project
Failure to identify engineering roles
Failure to get schedule buy-in from the contractor to align the Cx schedule with construction schedule/delivery date
Failure to validate scripts from all parties
- Lack of experience with current technologies (which might cause confusion in procedure/scripts, resulting in unanticipated downtime and affecting the construction schedule).

The best spinning bikes offer a convenient way to get a gym workout out at home, allowing a solid, daily bike workout becomes possible. They are a great alternative when you don't already own a nice mountain bike and/or apartment bike trainer. Generally, spin bikes have a few features in common. For instance, many have adjustable seats, continuous motion flywheels, quiet operations, and LCD monitors for tracking information such as distance biked and calories burned. However, each bicycle also sports a number of unique features that distinguish it from the rest of the spin bike market. For instance, price can vary greatly, from around $150 to more than $300. Other features that can vary include the drive (belt or chain), whether or not the handlebars adjust, included accessories, and more. Below are reviews of the top five spin bicycles on the market today.
Sunny Health and Fitness Belt Drive Indoor Cycling Bike
The Sunny Health and Fitness indoor cycling bicycle with a belt drive offers consumers a number of features designed to make it versatile and powerful. For instance, the bike comes with both an adjustable seat and handlebars. The seat allows the bike to be tailored to consumers of varying heights, while the handlebar can be slid up and down to achieve maximum comfort for the individual user. The results are consistently positive reviews regarding the bike's comfort level. In addition, the setup of the bicycle and adjustment of the seat and handlebars are generally reported to be very easy, taking less than 30 minutes. The only downside is that consumers report disappointment with the handlebars only moving up and down instead of also moving back and forth. Besides comfort, the Sunny bike offers consumers powerful and effective performance. The bike boasts a belt drive system and 49-pound flywheel and that gives it stability, resistance, and an exceptionally smooth cycling experience. The bike allows consumers to customize their cycling experience, making the bike appealing to riders from a wide range of experience and endurance levels. The result is a powerful, enjoyable, and effective cycling experience.
Phoenix Revolution Cycle
The Phoenix Revolution Cycle offers the same versatility as other spin bikes, with adjustable seats and handlebars. However, this bike sets itself apart by possessing both seats and handlebars that move back and forth as well as up and down, maximizing the custom and comfort level of the bicycle for even very tall riders. Another feature that sets the Revolution apart is a direct drive system that allows the rider to pedal both forwards and backwards. The flywheel also differs from flywheels on other spin bikes by not continuing to spin once pedaling has stopped. Instead, the rider can control the speed at which the flywheel stops moving, allowing them to customize the intensity level of the ride. Consumers report that the Revolution is also easy to assemble within 20 or 30 minutes and is extremely well made. The only downside to the bike is that some consumers report being unhappy with its noise level when it is in use. Otherwise, it is a high-quality, customizable, and effective choice in the spin bike field.
Schwinn IC2 Indoor Cycling Bike
The Schwinn IC2 indoor cycling bicycle stands out from other cycling bikes in its price range because of the presence of an LCD monitor that allows the rider to track statistics such as the distance traveled, the speed, and the calories burned during the workout. This display creates a motivating factor to encourage riders to continue working out. In addition, the IC2 is designed to feel as if the rider is traveling over roads outdoors. For instance, the bicycle offers the ability to increase resistance gradually during the ride. The outstanding quality of the ride, plus the bonus of the LCD screen, make the IC2 an appealing choice for any consumer looking for a realistic ride and measurable achievements. The bike also possesses quality construction, with a steel frame and rolling wheels for easy transportation. Consumers in general give the bike high praise for its performance. The only downside to the bike is the more basic nature of many of its other features. Otherwise, the Schwinn IC2 offers a realistic, challenging, and high quality ride.
Spinner Fit Authentic Indoor Cycle
The Spinner Fit Indoor Cycle allows consumers to enjoy Spinner bike quality in their own homes. The bicycle sports a number of appealing features. For instance, the padded seat and handlebars are adjustable to provide a greater degree of comfort for riders. The only downside to these is that some consumers report that they do not adjust enough to make the ride comfortable for all consumers. In addition, the flywheel does not stop spinning on its own, allowing for a smoother and more effective ride. Other features that set this bike apart include a choice of tension levels to customize the ride, as well as an easy to use tension knob that makes switching tensions during the ride faster and easier. In addition to its durable design and excellent performance, the Spinner Fit comes with a number of accessories to improve the workout experience for the consumer. These accessories include training videos, a riding guide, and an 8-week weight loss program. Consumers generally find that the training videos are of low quality, but that the accessories add to the overall value of the bicycle. The result is a reliable, durable, and effective spin bike that allows the consumer to enjoy a spin workout without joining a class.
Sunny Health and Fitness Indoor Cycling Bike
The Sunny Health and Fitness Indoor Cycling Bike offers consumers an affordable, basic, and reliable cycling bicycle. This version of the company's indoor cycling bicycle utilizes a chain drive instead of a belt drive. However, this drive receives praise for consumers for its quiet and low key performance. In addition, this Sunny bike sports an LCD monitor that reports on the calories burned, the speed at which the consumer is pedaling, the time, and the distance traveled to give the rider a clear picture of how their workout is going. One downside to the bicycle is the seat. While the seat is adjustable, some consumers report that it is uncomfortable to ride on, to the point that it limits the amount of time they can workout on the bicycle. However, overall, the bicycle receives positive reviews for high-quality and durable construction, as well as for ease of set up and for the fact that it performs reliably even when used every day. The result of this bike's solid basic features and reliable performance is a bicycle that can serve as an excellent every day exercise bike for home use, by both experienced and novice riders.

HG blemish treatment
Posted by 5286258607041352816 on Nov 11, 2013
I've been struggling with ongoing adult acne for the past year now. I have spent so much money on treatments and skincare products this year it's not funny. I wish I'd heard about this earlier. I really recommend anyone struggling with acne to try this. I think it'd work for the full spectrum of acne severity. I love it so much I've bought multiple bottles and have recommended this to family. PROS: - Non-drying and irritating - Works overnight (even on those deep under the surface of the skin pimples) - Can be applied multiple times (I do this when I really need to get rid of spots) - Not sure if it's just a problem that I have with my skin but I haven't had any resistance to this product (other products stop working on my skin after prolonged use. I've been using this for about 4 months now) - Relatively inexpensive - I'm not normally one to go for all natural ingredients but if that's something you're looking for then this is a bonus. - Wears well under makeup CONS: - Strong and unusual smell (but this eventually goes away) - Roll on applicator which can be a bit uncomfortable to use on painful pimples (but I guess there's no other way around it as the product is a liquid)
helps with problem skin
Posted by marianF on Aug 23, 2013
It does work with pimples and other skin irritations as well as insect bites.To treat face pimples, which I get very often, I have to use it consistently, day after day,in order to see an improvement, they don't vanish overnight as some other reviewers claim.
Best blemish stick ever made
Posted by Reviewer1106285 on Jul 20, 2008
Not only does it take care of any blemishes - also good on mosquito bites!
Packaging problem
Posted by Reviewer1553796 on Apr 06, 2013
bought this item somewhere last month on behalf of my mum. i guess the product is good since she wanted it. however there was something wrong with the packaging.the bottle is somehow slanted,resulting in problems with screwing the cap on.when the item was delivered,the product had only half of its content left.the content must have spilled due to the packaging problem. i hope that iherb will look out for any packaging defects before mailing out the item.so far,this is my first such encounter as ive been ordering from this site quite often. thanks.
absolutely fantastic!
Posted by Reviewer3026666 on Oct 01, 2009
This is a great product! My daughter had a severe acne problem on her arms. Within just a few days we could see improvement. After just a couple of weeks the problem is just about gone.

Copes with inflammation! Smell nice. I will buy forever!
Calms down itchy blisters on my face
Posted by PurplePegasus on May 20, 2010
This is better than cortizone cream for itchy blisters (hives, rashes). I get them on my face once in a while due to adrenal problems, and this calms down the itch right away. They also seem to go away faster. I'll also use it on the occasional pimple. Dries it out. Pleasant natural fragrance (I'm allergic to chemicals & some natural fragrances. No problem with this). Do not use on eyelids.
Love it
Posted by Reviewer2344870 on Oct 22, 2009
it stings a little bit, but it works on those overnight aching spots!
Posted by Edelweiss on Mar 03, 2012
I took it for spot treatment of pimples on your face for a teenage son and myself. Draw on clean skin. It is convenient to use with the roller. As part of a complete mineral oils: tea tree, lavender, calendula and other well dries, heals, and preyatsvuet further spread of acne.
Magic potion
Posted by Reviewer1947718 on Jul 27, 2009
Wish I'd had this when I was a teenager. The essential oils in the touch stick are amazingly effective at drying up blemishes, often stopping them in their tracks. Especially handy when you have the proverbial pimple on the end of your nose right before that big date. I also use this for cuts and nasty hangnails - dabbed on and followed by a little Vitamin E oil, it's really good for inflammation.

Comments: Great string. Very soft and arm friendly. Spin amount is average. This plays similar to Babolat Pro
Hurricane in my opinion.
From: RBC, 4/16
Comments: Terrific string, just what I needed to tame the power of my racquet and also provide great feel and
control, excellent tension maintenance and a comfortable impact. I didn't think I would find anything I prefer over
Silverstring but
this is the one.
From: Mike, 12/13
Comments: I string my own racquets and try a variety of strings. I used Topspin Cyber Blue in my Head IG
Pro at 58 lbs. There was no break-in period to get used to it. This string worked seamlessly out of the gate. It does have
a softer
feel than a RPM blast (my usual go to string 17 ga) but I didn't notice any crazy amount of topspin compared to other
polys. It had good control for volley's as well. I don't get caught up in the price factor as a real criteria for swaying toward
a sting
or not. I just really liked how this string played in my racket and for my game.
From: Paul, 12/13
Comments: Cyber Blue is excellent! According to USRSA, Cyber Blue is one of the softest polys on the market
with Babolat Pro Hurricane, Signum Pro Poly Plasma, Tecnifibre X Code, Kirschbaume Pro Line II, Volkl Cyclone, etc. But
Cyber Blue
is the best in tension retention among them. Highly recommended to hard topspinners and the chronic string breakers who
like the harshness of polys. I purchased a reel. Price is great too.
From: Mike, 7/13
Comments: A good string for topspin and and good control.
From: Jatin, 7/13
Comments: After reading many reviews, I decided to try this one. This is a soft poly sting, with good control,
feel, and some spin. Also this is the first string that made me feel the ball sitting on the stringbed before launch. I'm ok
with this
string. I think this one is good for a hybrid, and the price is nice. I strung a full bed of it on a Volkl PB 10 at 40 lbs and
Organic V1
at 45 lbs.
From: Tong, 8/12
Comments: Don't know if I should post the comment here as they are meant for Cyber Black instead of Blue.
Anyway, the Black was strung on my MGR OS at 55lbs and it's magic. At first, you can't really tell but after two sessions,
strings are amazing!! If you hit it correctly, you can feel the ball sitting into the stringbed and waiting for your command. it's
fantastic! Anyone who can get their hands on the Black should try it.
From: Ben, Singapore. 6/10
Comments: I'm trying out this string in a hybrid, with multifilament crosses, 55/58 on a 95 sq". It's a very
comfortable hit with good power. Unfortunately, in this setup, my serve often goes long and my deep volleys don't have the
control I'm used to with an all multi setup. Looking at the other reviews, I'd like to try it on the whole stringbed. It feels
looks great, and if it will give me bite and spin, it would work out really well.
From: Kevin, all-court, 3.5
State of Mind, USA 03/10
Comments: I tried this string after one of my friends recommended it. From the moment I stared playing with it
felt that I got much more topspin and control. No matter how high you hit the ball it will curve in.
From: Anson, California 02/10
Comments: These strings are okay. You get a lot of spin and power but they are NOT durable and they lose
quickly. It is also an arm friendly string. It lasted me about 2-3 months.
From: Robin, Narvik, Northern Norway, 01/10
Comments: Fine quality strings. My only complaint is that they are a little too muted for my taste. I like more
of a
raw banging sound when I rip into a forehand. Don't worry about arm problems with this one--it is extremely soft, probably
soft for me. Holds tension well and you get a very predictable and reliable "crispy" response. Good especially for
serve&volley or
all-court type players. Go with Cyberflash if you are a baseline basher.
From: Ron, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 12/09
Comments: This string plays so well at a very, very lose tension on a smaller head racquet. I play with an
Tour 90. The quick swing, and smaller sweet spot balances out with the loose strings to produce a machine. It hits fast,
but with control and LOTS of spin. I highly recommend this string for anyone looking for power and spin. Be warned that
I said it gives control, it's better for a K90, N90, PS90 or anything from 90-93 inches with a heavier head. Everyone to own
right. With a low tension you also make the strings last longer, allowing for flexibility. By the way, an underrated aspect of
string is the way it can hold its pattern and set up without flailing around too much.
From: Justin, Brisbane, QLD, Australia. 1/09
Comments: Awesome string. I actually hybrid this with Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power on main. Luxilon is a very
string, but with Topspin Cyber Blue on cross, my Prince Speedport tour was absolutely amazing. The playability is
Control is very good. I recommend to heavy hitters.
From: Reinaldo, Lencois Paulista, Sao Paulo, Brazil. 12/09
Racquet: Prince Speedport Tout
Main: 51 lbs, cross: 53 lbs.
Comments: Very solid string. Good spin and control. Reasonable power. Found it easy to place volleys and
comfortable to hit groundstrokes. Slightly less spin than SPPP or Cyber Flash, but very comfortable on the arm. I get
about 15-20
hours on a set of strings, mostly playing doubles. I'm a 4.5 player using a K-Factor 95 strung at 55 pounds. I've also tried
other strings - SPPP, Topspin Cyber Flash, and Tecnifibre Pro Line II, Pro RedCode, and NRG 2. Cyber Blue is the best
string that I've tried. My next favorite string is SPPP which has SLIGHTLY more power and spin, but is a little tougher on
the arm.
From: Jason, Alameda, CA, USA. 11/08
Comments: Great string awesome pop on serves and groundstrokes.
From: Kurtis, California. 11/08
Comments: I Just tried full Cyber Blue 17 this past weekend, and liked it very much. Had been playing full
Cyberflash 17 at 58 lbs in a 107 sq in head without any elbow problems, and also liked that a lot. Went with 60 lbs on the
Blue (because it's supposed to be a bit softer than the Cyberflash). Seemed to me that it was a little livelier than the
but not uncontrollably so. Like the Cyberflash, Cyber Blue doesn't move around. So far, so good.
From: Rich, Massapequa, NY, USA. 9/08
Comments: Just changed to these strings and absolutely love them! I have them strung up at 54 on my FXP
mids. Wow what a combination. I feel that these are perfect for tight patterned, low powered racquets.
From: Matt, South Africa. 7/08
Comments: This is a wonderful string. I've been playing with it for almost 6 months now, so I feel I've
some real knowledge about them. I'm a strong 4.5 player who hits with heavy topspin and heavy slice. Their durability is
outstanding! There is virtually no string movement. There is more than sufficient power, but if you can't generate your own
these are not the strings for you. I began stringing them on my 98" at 60 pounds. This was way to strong and aggravated
tennis elbow. I now string them at 50lbs without any loss of control. I have even debated about going to 47lbs and trying
that. I
directly compare these strings to SPPP, but they seem to hold up better over time. There are better strings out there, but
for the
price; you will be hard pressed finding a better value vs. performance.
From: Eric, Virginia Beach, VA, USA, 07/08
Comments: I've been using these strings for about a year now. These strings are as good as many of the
without the price tag. I use these strings on the mains with Wilson Sensation 16 gauge and it feels awesome. Not only that,
but it
only costs me like $7 to string with this combo.
From: Clayton, Markham, Ontario, Canada. 6/08
Comments: This string is just too easy. I actually hybrid this with Babolat Pro Hurricane and, o baby, it's too
Wonderful, truly wonderful.
From: Steve, Wisconsin, USA. 6/08
Comments: This is a tough string. I thought it felt OK but had a hard time with my slice. After 20 minute felt
elbow tightness then some elbow and shoulder soreness. Compared it with Kirschbaum Pro Line II and the Pro Line II puts
string to shame. There is more feel, pop and playability. I would not recommend. I'm an ex-college player/open player
strung at
52lbs. on my Yonex RDS 500.
From: B-UNIT, CHULA, CA, USA. 5/08
Comments: Awesome strings! They are very soft, yet powerful, with so much feel. I strung this on my Wilson
ProStaff 6.1 (stiff racquet) at 55lbs and my tennis elbow doesn't flare up anymore. Seriously, I think the lower you string this
string, the better it plays. I'm going to string it at 52lbs with Natural Gut next time.
From: Jeff, Sydney, Australia, 04/08
Comments: Based on Kevin's comments I bought these strings. Thanks, Kevin! This is the best poly/co-poly
string I
have ever tried, and I've tried them all. Lots of juice and so far absolutely no arm or wrist problems. That is saying a lot as I
am a
60-year-old 4.5 player. I've never served better with power and control. Finally, I may now be able to move away from
and these strings are bargain priced, especially in a reel, compared to other poly/co-polys. I string my Pure Drive at 55 lbs.
Cyber Power. Perfect.
From: Gerry, Bradenton, Fl, USA. 3/08
Comments: I had read that these strings felt more like synthetic gut than any other poly on the market. Not
did they feel like synth gut, but they also performed a bit like synthetic gut. The typical poly spin potential didn't seem to
there, and control was a bit lacking, but it was a very comfortable and powerful string. I'm sure there are legions of players
there who would benefit from this soft, durable poly.
From: Jaime, Miami, Fl, USA. 2/08
Racquet: Volkl V-Engine Tour 10 Mid
Comments: Wow what a great string! I have been hesitant on using poly strings since I had previously
some tenderness in my wrist/elbow with other poly strings, but not the case with the CP. I used CP mains crossed with
Pro Supex
Max Touch, and it was wonderful!! Control, power and tons of spin and best of all -- no soreness at all! I was really
impressed. If
you're considering a soft poly with some pop, yet control, give these a shot. Strung on Diablo MP at CP 52/MT 55.
From: Kevin, Columbia, SC. 11/07
NTRP Rating: 4.0
Comments: Oh my God! This string is the bomb, I used to use regular synthetic and multifilament on my
Wilson K
tour 90, but they either have too much power or a dead feeling. This one is different because it provides power and control,
but at
the same time has a crisp feeling compare to other strings' mushy feels (including multi�s). And it's way more arm
compare to other poly�s like Luxilon strings. What can I say, excellent control and spin, crisp feel, descent power and
friendly. And I love the color too. Currently I hybrid this string in main and multifilament string in cross, it may not last long,
the playability is incredible!
From: Anakin, San Francisco, CA, USA, 11/07
Comments: I have just started trying polys, all full sets. Up until now the Kirshbaum Proline 2 was my fav, but I
this one better. The problem I've had with all polys is that they feel great on groundstrokes, good on volleys, but bad for
serves. I
completely lost all pop on my serves until I came across CP. This string still gives me that spin and control I like from a
poly, and
still allows me a great serve. I don't know how long it will retain tension, but I did string it at 54, which is about 2-4 lbs
than I have strung other polys. I will stick with this one for a while. Great color too.
From: Tod, Lubbock, TX, USA. 10/07
Racquet: Volkl DNX 8
Comments: These strings WERE amazing. The spin is amazing, all my shots had power and at the same time I
good placement. It had great touch and feel on my drop shots. HOWEVER... I broke them in 3-4 hours of play. I strung
them at 62
on my aeropro drive cortex.

As the Civil War rages, another battle breaks out behind the lines.
During a long hot July in 1863, the worst race riots the United States has ever seen erupt in New York City. Earlier that year, desperate for more Union soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln instituted a draft–a draft that would allow the wealthy to escape serving in the army by paying a $300 waiver, more than a year's income for the recent immigrant Irish. And on July 11, as the first drawing takes place in Lower Manhattan, the city of New York explodes in rage and fire. Stores are looted; buildings, including the Colored Foundling Home, are burned down; and black Americans are attacked, beaten, and murdered. The police cannot hold out against the rioters, and finally, battle-hardened soldiers are ordered back from the fields of Gettysburg to put down the insurrection, which they do–brutally.
Fifteen-year-old Claire, the beloved daughter of a black father and Irish mother, finds herself torn between the two warring sides. Faced with the breakdown of the city–the home–she has loved, Claire must discover the strength and resilience to address the new world in which she finds herself, and to begin the hard journey of remaking herself and her identity.
Addressing such issues as race, bigotry, and class head-on, Walter Dean Myers has written another stirring and exciting novel that will shake up assumptions, and lift the spirit.

RIOT by Walter Dean Myers tells the story of the beginning of the Civil War, and the 1863 insurgency in New York City. President Lincoln had started a draft to gain more soldiers for the Union Army, but there was a clause in the law that allowed the wealthy to pay a three-hundred dollar fee and hire someone else to go to war in their place. In New York City, tempers exploded into a vicious race riot. Claire is the daughter of a mixed family. Her mother is Irish and her father is black. She has been secure in her identity, but now everything is different. Black Americans are being murdered and beaten, and even a foundling home is looted and burned as the uprising turns into one of the worst race riots in American history. The streets and Claire's neighborhood are no longer safe. And then the soldiers that are called back from Gettysburg to settle the dispute are equally brutal. Claire is considered all black by people she considered friends and they are turning against her for that reason. She begins to question her identity. Great characters and a fast-moving plot kept me glued to the pages. Myers has written this story in the form of a screenplay in an untraditional book, with an unblinking look at racial relations during that time period. It gave an immediacy to the action that most novel forms would not have been able to achieve. It is a very entertaining story, and I painlessly learned a lesson in American history.
