Oh WOW, they just showed Mao backstage in her big jacket just walking around.
Thanks! Feed's so bad I couldn't tell who it was, lol.
Myriane Samson is also very pretty... Canada seem to be full of pretty ladies...
Seriously, who is this girl and what has she done with Myriane Samson?
Okay, they just showed her up close, and it's not Mao, but some other pretty young skater.
Actually the feed is not that bad, just a little slow-motionish.
Very nice skating from all of the Canadian ladies. Beautiful costumes too.
I agree about Myriane. Good skate!
There seems to be a Canadian school of ladies' skating. They are all very athletic, strong, and fit. Very good overall skaters and not without elegance, but what is usually summed up with the word "artistry" is not their strong suit - they are solid rather than exquisite. I guess that's what the Canadian coaches/association/govt? seek out and encourage.
8th place after the short; skating to "Time Goes By" Canadian National Bronze medalist; triple loop, beautiful quality; triple flip nice; triple loop, double loop double loop combo very well done; triple flip double toe combo; she is really controlling her jumps takes her time in the set up; but doubled the next lutz; nice triple sal (?)

Crazy skate from Kwak as well. Even looking at her national competitions, she's never skated a long program anywhere close to that level.

Ryan Sticks Up for Belichick on Gronk's Bad BreakPosted by on November 20, 2012 – 6:29 pm
What's the Jets-Pats rivalry coming to?
Antonio Cromartie, for instance, today had words of praise for Tom Brady.
"The guy's won Super Bowls. I have respect for him from that standpoint," said Cro. "He's a competitor. He's going to compete. He reminds me a lot of Philip Rivers in that he's going to trash-talk back at you."
And then there's Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick. When the Jets head coach called the Patriots' head coach the best coach in football, etc., before previous matchups, some suspected Ryan of being insincere. Not true. Rex really does respect Belichick.
And today he went so far as to defend Belichick against media and fans in the Boston area who were critical of Belichick playing Rob Gronkowski on the last extra-point play of the Patriots' 59-24 rout of the Colts on Sunday — the play on which Gronkowski suffered a forearm fracture that will keep him out of Thursday's Jets-Pats tilt.
"Yeah, absolutely ridiculous," Ryan, on a conference call with Patriots reporters, said of the flak Belichick had been drawing. "It was on an extra point. He's done that probably 100 times this year for the simple fact of how many points they score. You never see that. Every single team in the league … we have D'Brickashaw Ferguson in there.
"You don't play the game that way. It's just an unfortunate thing. That's just a freak deal that that would happen. But unfortunately that's part of the game. Injuries do happen. We lose [Santonio] Holmes and [Darrelle] Revis to non-contact injuries and it's just one of those things and it's just unfortunate, obviously."
Belichick seemed touched when told of Ryan's defense at his own news conference with those same reporters.
"I didn't hear it, so I'm just taking your word for it," he said. "I feel like I have a good relationship with Rex. Obviously we want to beat each other. We're in the same division and that's just competitiveness. I see Rex from time to time during the year. Like I said, we had his brother on the staff here for four years. I've known his father for 30 years, whatever it is, it's been a long time. I think that there's a lot of…he's a son of a coach, he's a football guy, he's been around it his whole life. I have, too. There are a lot of things we have in common.
"But this week," summed up Belichick, back in character, "it's about two teams trying to compete against each other. That's all it is."
The Life of a Hard Hitter
Jets S LaRon Landry was asked about the flap surrounding Ravens S Ed Reed's helmet-to-helmet hit on Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders on Sunday night, which initially drew him a one-game suspension and was reduced today after appeal to a $50,000 fine.
"Yeah, I heard he got his [penalty] reduced. That's good. That's great," said Landry as one fellow hard hitter to another. "Being a physical football player, things like that happen. He was just trying to make a play. He's good at what he does.
"I know Ed personally. I know that was not intentional. It's football, man. But within this game we have rules that are going to be enforced."
It's not just professional courtesy. Landry and Reed are both Louisianans. In fact, they played against each other for rival high schools in the Metairie area.
Rex Cetera
The Jets made two roster moves today. They announced this morning that rookie free agent LB Marcus Dowtin had been waived. Then this afternoon, GM Mike Tannenbaum disclosed on our own "Jets Talk Live" with my partner Eric Allen that veteran WR Jason Hill had been released.
That gives the Jets three openings, since they were at 52 players on the active roster for the Rams. Expect a few signings to be announced before the Patriots game.
A perhaps interesting injury note is connected to J.Hill's departure. He was listed on Monday's injury report as not practicing due to a low-back injury. With that listing, the Jets had 19 players on the list. Today's list is down to 18 after Hill's release. The Patriots have also listed 19 injured players both days this week, and their two reports were also identical.
So for the first time this season, 32 separate injury reports in all, the Jets have listed fewer injured players than their opponents.

As it stands now Sanchez is ranked 29 out of 32 starting QB's with a league low 53.5% completion rate, ( this inclds his "good" game against the Rams ) he was the 5th pick and this IS HIS 4TH YEAR. Richard Todd a 6th pick finished with a lifetime 55% completion rate and had 161 pics in 119 games and we kept him for 8 years.Would you not think that after a 30 pic season our illustrious front office might just want to "reevaluate " the QB situation? Not the Jets they kept him for years after. Same old Jets just can't admit that maybe the blew the big QB pick ( Shhhh… if were real quiet maybe no one will notice )

no attempt at getting Aqib Talib or Plaxico? A win over the Pais and we still have a shot of a miracle. Either way, Jets need big changes next year.
By IRA on Nov 21, 2012 | Reply
I would take a flyer on A. Curry who the Raiders just waived. he is worth a look at and or resign Maybin.
I agree with Rex about Gronk being in on an extra point play. He is part of the unit and you can't make changes like that. Its not like sitting a RB or QB with a few minutes left in a blowout game.
While Mike T has been getting heat for not getting enough talent this year you have to give him credit for signing Landry who is having an excellent year and also Bell. We need both of them to have bigtimes games vs the Pats this week.
Everybody have a Happy Thanksgiving, God Bless those who are trying to get their lives back together after the storm and GO JETS!!!!

Trufant was a huge factor in our passing D in the first Pats game. There will be alot of pressure on Lankster to pick up that slack. Brady will pick on Wilson quite a bit this week.
The real issue is Sanchize-Not as it always is. Will he manage the game effectively enough to keep this team from getting blown out. The Pats D is atrocious but they force a lot of turnovers. If Sanchize-Not turns the ball over we will lose this game.

I don't want to hear Rex talking about other teams' great draft picks until we start drafting better. As my friends' teenage daughter in Wisconsin, who roots for the Jets, said the other day, "Why can't the Jets ever get an Aaron Rodgers or a Clay Matthews?"
By Tom Spicer on Nov 21, 2012 | Reply
Ron Alexander, What I was trying to say the other day & I guess I did not do a good job of it. Wilkerson to me is a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT. He is 315 LB interior D lineman I dont think we will ever see him as a 10 sack plus guy. The things he does will not show up in the stat sheet. If we were to move to a 4-3 full time (which is what I want) I do not think we have the 3-4 pass rushing OLB'S to consistently put the heat on the opposing QB. Our strentgh is our secondary & our D line our weakness is our linebackers but we run a D with 3 d lineman & 4 linebackers (go figure shouldnt it be the other way around?) anyway getting back to the point I am trying to make. Unless the Jets say we are going to go to a 4-3 fulltime & tell Wilkerson to lose
By Charliejet on Nov 21, 2012 | Reply
We still have a shot at the division this year. Obviously that's only if we beat the Patriots on Thursday. But just say we do, we will be 5-6 and the Pats will be 7-4. They play the Texans and 49ers the next few weeks and will still be without Gronkowski. The only thing we gotta hope for is that the Dolphins win one of the two games against them (because of the tiebreaker). This means that if we win out or lose one game, we win the division, which shouldn't be too far -fetched based on our upcoming schedule. The next tiebreaker that doesn't tie would be common games, which we would win because they lost to the Cardinals(the pats). I KNOW, I KNOW ! Hey sometimes I like to stir the pot – OK ?

30 LBS & get down to 285 like Coples & get his speed up to play 4-3 DE. I see him as a 4-3 DT or a 3-4 DE.
By Jete Fan Since '64 Tom of Few Words at Thanksgiving on Nov 21, 2012 | Reply
Jane McManus writes this today on ESPN: "The good thing is that many of the players in [Sanchez's] own locker room see that their starter has been dealt a raw hand. The stilted offense that has Sanchez in running a conventional quarterback system is intermittently replaced by Tebow's Wildcat or option scheme. It hasn't worked, and often disrupts the flow of Sanchez's next play." Yes, and some of us we were saying that more than two Thanksgivings ago, even before Brad Smith's great game vs CIN, saying that the occasional big play out of the Wildcat wasn't worth all the nothing plays and the stunting of MS's growth. 2 yrs later we're more right than ever as we face NE — but have a great Thanksgiving anyway!

SPICER, No sweat Dude, I love the feistiness you show here!Dont change! I completely understand where you are going with this & I agree we should play a 4-3 base defence. I also think if Mo Wilk lost even 15 lbs he could be a force outside.He's very strong & a tough guy. If Coples is able to turn it up a notch or two he & Mo could be forces for a long time. I like Pouha, Harrison & Devito inside so if we can find another D.E. as a free agent this offseason we could be set for a while. HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!

Charlie Jet.Really?, where did all this optimism come from, one win in a row at LA, gives you that much hope, I would laugh but they're so predictable it's sad, You have a better chance at hitting power ball than Jets winning out, Take that to the bank, Sorry man, again I hate being so negative it just comes with being a Jet fan .. this is why I'll be taping the game this way I can digest my meal, before I ruin yet another holiday over these Jets, They won last week 2 in a row is way to much to expect from, Mike-T and Company… Happy Thanks giving everyone

CharieJet: Nice to see someone else talking about taking the division even if it is highly unlikly. Playing for second place (wildcard) is a losers plan. Figuring out how many losses we can afford instead of winning out is negative. Hoping that other teams lose more than us is a losing strategy. It is the coaches and team leaders job to foster a winning attitude even when it is unlikely.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone.

Kettle canŌĆÖt
hold late lead
The Chewelah Cougars broke into the win column last Friday night with a come from behind 13-12 victory over Northeast A League rival, Kettle Falls.
While the Cougars didnŌĆÖt play their best game, they did enough on both sides of the ball to earn their first win of the season. That was good enough for head coach Jim Fisk, whose mostly inexperienced team has struggled this fall.
ŌĆ£I would have liked to see us play better, but I canŌĆÖt complain,ŌĆØ Fisk said. ŌĆ£Offensively, we did what we had to do--thatŌĆÖs what counts.ŌĆØ
Solid recruiting
class for Keating
Colville High senior Matt Hubbard has made an oral commitment to play for coach Kerry KeatingŌĆÖs Santa Clara Broncos.
The 6-9 Hubbard, an All-Great Northern League and Northeast A League pick his first three years at CHS and the teamŌĆÖs leading scorer and rebounder all three seasons, says heŌĆÖs excited to be heading to the West Coast Conference school.
ŌĆ£It feels so good to have gotten through the whole recruiting process,ŌĆØ one of the top prep players in the Northwest said last week. ŌĆ£It was pretty stressful toward the end of it.ŌĆØ
Riverside visits
in NEA opener
S-E Sports Editor
Host Tonasket was able to make an early 13-0 lead stand up against Kettle Falls in a 13-7 non-league win in Okanogan County last Friday night.
For KFHS, the offense is still a work in progress. But head coach Curtis Corvino liked what he saw in the second half against Tonasket.
ŌĆ£I thought we kind of had Tonasket on their heels at the end,ŌĆØ Kettle Falls head coach Curtis Corvino said of a spirited second half effort. ŌĆ£We just didnŌĆÖt have enough time.ŌĆØ
Unbeaten T-lake
up next on Friday
In one of the most lopsided outcomes in the annual Highway 395 cross-the-valley rivalry between Colville and Chewelah, the Indians pushed down the throttle and never let up on Friday the 13th, blasting host Chewelah 42-0.
After one of the poorest rushing performances in the recent history of the program one week earlier against unbeaten Freeman, the Indians cranked up their normally dependable ground game against a Chewelah team that lost 17 seniors from last seasonŌĆÖs Northeast A League championship bunch.
Chewelah next
Northeast A League pre-season favorite Freeman held off Colville 14-7 last Friday night in the non-league season-opener for both teams.
Despite struggling on offense and putting up some of the lowest rushing totals in many years, the Indians came close to pulling this one out or getting it into overtime in the gameŌĆÖs final seconds.
But the late comeback ended inside the final minute of play when Freeman recovered a fumble after a CHS pass completion at the IndiansŌĆÖ 40-yard-line.
Colville up next
in 395 rivalry
The Chewelah Cougars kicked off their football season Friday night on the road at Deer Park. The young Cougars were in the game early on, but were eventually overpowered by the bigger, more experienced Stags, 31-7.
The Cougars went into the game with only four starters returning from last yearŌĆÖs team (Chewelah lost 17 seniorsŌĆö12 of them starters off last seasonŌĆÖs Northeast A League championship team).
Colville opens with rival Freeman
Colville High returns more players than anybody in the Great Northern League this fall. The Indians, who struggled to a 3-7, 1-5 record with a group long on inexperience last fall, look to rebound and make things interesting in the rigorous GNL this fall.
Colville ended a frustrating 2012 season with an eye-opening 26-20 win in the mud over Pullman. That upset cost the ŌĆśHounds an undisputed GNL championship and instilled some confidence in the Indians.
There is no reason not to continue where CHS left off against Pullman last November.
New coach & some veteran senior talent
There is some serious understatement in play to say that there are a few notable changes in the Colville High School volleyball program this fall.
For one thing, Missy Bennett, who spent 27 years coaching and is a member of the Washington CoachesŌĆÖ Hall of Fame, is no longer on the sidelines. Bennett is still teaching at CHS, but athletic director Kelly Carr recently hired veteran Kennewick School District coach Ron Schuh to replace one of the Colville School DistrictŌĆÖs coaching icons (see related story).
Veteran coach moves from Tri-Cities
Nearly one year after longtime Colville High volleyball coach Missy Bennett announced her resignation after arguably the most successful career ever turned in by a CHS coach, athletic director Kelly Carr named Ron Schuh of Kennewick to replace her.
The 54-year-old Schuh, who worked as a physical education teacher at Park Middle School in Kennewick prior to being named to succeed Bennett, is excited about the opportunity.
Cross country
season underway
Let the wind blow and the thunder roll. Sunday eveningŌĆÖs squall through the Colville Valley managed to knock out power and do a fair amount of property damage, but wasnŌĆÖt able to dampen the Colville High School cross country teamŌĆÖs appointed 2013 season kick-off.
While much of the Valley languished in the dark after a strong thunderstorm knocked out large portions of the local power grid, a swift response by local AVISTA crews had the metered gold restored to CHS well before the IndiansŌĆÖ annual midnight appointment with their new season.

Updated: December 10, 2013 6:07AM
The Cook County Board unanimously passed President Toni Preckwinkle's $3.2 billion 2014 budget Friday -- a budget that includes no new taxes, fees or fines.
It was the second time in four years that a Preckwinkle budget has passed with a 17-0 vote.
"Perception is the reality and the reality is that you've turned this ship around and now we're heading the right direction and the taxpayers are going to reap the benefits," said Commissioner Edwin Reyes (D-8th).
The budget also includes $40 million in capital funding to update the county's outdated technology.
"To every single commissioner, I say, the difficult decisions we have made and the problematic budgets of the last three years have set the stage for this one," Preckwinkle said.
Preckwinkle's budget contains no new taxes or hikes due in large part to cost savings from CountyCare, the Medicaid expansion program under the Affordable Care Act.
The budget package also earmarks money for technology upgrades to its financial system, property tax system and criminal data-sharing system.
By next year, the Leighton Criminal Courthouse will be connected to the county's broadband Internet network — the same network that boosted the Cook County hospital system last year — delivering Internet connections that are 10 times faster.
Last month, Preckwinkle said improved connectivity at the courthouse and jail — where three inmates were mistakenly released this year due to paper work snafus — might lead to fewer mistakes.
In June the county reported a preliminary budget deficit of $152 million. The county expects to close that gap with: a projected increase of $16.5 million in tax revenues; Medicaid reimbursements to Cook County Health and Hospitals System of $86.5 million; and $10.5 million in other savings throughout the county health system, Preckwinkle had said.
The county also projects it will slash additional expenses by $38.6 million, including cuts to county employee health and pharmacy benefits.

" Whilst the Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash is a nifty little gadget, it comes at a price. Designed to stop putting germs on the soap dispenser, it is more of a luxury than a necessity. "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Our eight year old persuaded us to buy the Dettol none touch hand wash system during a recent shopping trip. Liking gadgets I was happy to give the system a try.
In my opinion this would be great in a clinic/hospital etc but for a household item I'm not sure we need it. Yes it kills 99% of bacteria but so do other brands.
The rrp price of these's system are £9.99 but saying that they are often on promotion at half price for £4.99 and that is what we paid for it. The replacement refills are around £3 each which are expensive in my view especially when you get purchase a hand wash pumps which are always on promotion somewhere for around £1. Another consideration is the cost of the batteries. The system is fairly compact which sits neatly on the bathroom sink. The system has a window which can easily see the remaining contents.
On a positive note the sensor is very good and releases a controlled amount of the hand wash on each application, the hand wash has a pleasant scent and is of a good consistency.
To summarise we only brought the hand wash system at the request of our son, it does guarantee to kill 99% of bacteria and the hand wash is pleasant. Saying that there are so are many other hand washes which are significantly cheaper. I don't plan to purchase any replacements refills when the current one runs out and will return to buying alternatives.
my daughter first bought one of these hand wash systems a few months ago ,so i thought i would try it too. it has a nice smell and with it being dettol i feel i can trust it to do its job properly. everything was going well with it, until one day i came home from work to find the dispenser practically empty with all its contents in a large puddle all over the work surface. i couldnt understand what had happened, i wasnt too pleased obviously. i rang my daughter to tell her and she then informed me that it happens quite frequently with hers , it seems the touch dispenser part of it is extremely sensitive, and if you are not careful when using it you can inadvertantly set it off after you think you have finished using it. if like i must have done, have used it and turned away you will not see what is going on and hey presto if you go out all your contents have gone. so my review on this is i am afraid it is too costly to keep using, until the manafacturer solves the problem i will not be purchasing it again.
We have one of these in each of our bathrooms. They are very cheap at £5.99 and the soap solution smells really nice and fresh. I have noticed that there are a variety of different non touch systems on the market and our first one was a Supermarket home brand one. The Dettol system is by far and away superior to the other ones that we have tried. The soap solution lasts about two weeks and the refills are little more than buying a pump action soap with dispenser.
The wipe clean surface of the dispenser is very easy to keep free from dust and fingerprints. I just wipe it over with a damp cloth and it stays in pristine condition.
Having said this, there are a couple of disadvantages to this system.
1. The sensor under the dispenser that tells the machine to dispense soap when a hand is place under it, is VERY VERY sensitive. The problem with this is that if someone leaves a scrunched up flannel underneath it, it just keeps dispensing and dispensing until it is employ and you have a sink full of soap.
2. Children are fascinated by it and an 'off' button would have been useful last weekend when my young grand children were visiting!!!
It seems that these days we've been bombarded by the idea of trying to be clean and free of bacteria / pathogens as much as possible. I have seen many adverts about anti-bacterial gel and other plethora of anti-bacterial products. I have seen this Dettol No-touch hand wash being advertised so many times before and I though it is a very nifty idea. I am very sensitive to bacterial and fungal infections and I always try to look after my hygiene. Therefore when I saw this product on offer at Boots, I decided to try it.
When I bought this No-touch hand wash system, it was retailed for £5.99, reduced from £11.99, so I thought it was a good buy. The product comes with the main no-touch soap dispenser, a refill pack and AA batteries to power the dispenser. The one I bought is called 'Cucumber hydrating splash'. The packaging is quite difficult to open if I'm being honest, even with the use of scissors and a bit of swearing. However, I managed to get it open. The no-touch soap dispenser itself is quite a good size, and goes quite well in our bathroom. It has a tiny, narrow transparent window to let you know how much soap is left.
How does it work? It's a no-touch system so you just have to put your hand under the dispenser and tiny amount of soap will be dispensed. The good thing is there's no dripping and the amount dispensed each time is not too little or too much. So, in terms of being an anti-bacterial product, it has a good idea. However, it don't think it helps that I still have to touch the tap for water. When it comes down to it, it really is an exercise in futility. It would obviously work better if your bathroom has a sensor tap of course.
The disadvantage of this product is the sheer price of cash that needs to be followed up to keep using this product. Firstly, it runs on two AA batteries, and although it lasts for quite awhile, they still needs to be replaced in the future. Also, the soap refill: the empty soap container cannot be refilled with just any soap. I had to throw away the empty and buy another refill, which is retailed around £3.00 but it may be on offer occasionally. Each refill lasts for 2-4 weeks depending on how many people are in the house really. In the long run, this is worse than buying a cheap printer and then have to splash out on ink cartridges afterwards.
Overall, I do like the idea of no-touch hand soap system, it really seems like a waste of money when the anti-bacterial protection is lost as soon as I have to touch the tap to turn on the water. If the price is comparable to normal hand soaps that are usually sold for £1.00, then I would go for this. Otherwise, I am impressed and disappointed about this product at the same time.
I'm a clean, neat and tidy person. I am a bit overly clean when it comes to washing my hands. I like to know my hands are clean and fresh. I cannot abide sticky or messy hands. Caring for my own needs and my toddlers I have to wash my hands several times throughout the day. I prefer to use liquid soap, as I find it more hygienic and easier to use. I had seen the Dettol No-touch hand soap dispensers when they first came out and thought that they looked a bit cheap with the price being a bit too steep.
I had avoided purchasing one of these units for that very reason. Another factor that put me off was that the refills for the dispenser are ridiculously expensive. This made me believe that you had to buy a new soap container designed for the dispenser each and every time. This made me feel like it would be wasteful, as well as expensive. I like the idea of being able to refill a soap dispenser to save on waste, and cut down on cost. I was unsure whether this would be possible with this product.
>> A bargain buy?
Recently, I had used the Dettol No-touch soap dispenser whilst away from home, and thought it was actually quite good. Seeing as they have been on offer quite a lot recently, I took the plunge and bought one. The automatic soap dispenser I already have in the bathroom cost quite a bit more, but it is ideal for the purpose. I thought the No-touch Dettol soap dispenser would be an okay unit to have, as it was a good price at the time of purchase. The original price of this is around £10, and it comes with a bottle of soap ready for use.
>> Scissors at the ready!
The product comes packaged in that rather awkward plastic that is difficult and frustrating to open even with scissors! A simple box with a hygiene seal would be preferable here. Once removed from the packaging to get started there is a pull tag at the bottom of the dispenser which is to be removed, and an on off switch on the back that is to be turned on. The soap bottle has a sticky label to be removed from the opening and placing back into the dispenser.
>> Not one to be admired
My first impression is that the unit to me is rather cheap and tacky looking. Not something to be proudly displayed in the bathroom. It is constructed from plastic that has a silver Matt finish. The bottle that holds the soap looks like a regular transparent soap pump bottle with a tacky label on it that is still visible once inserted. The bottle sits upside down in the unit, so that the small top is placed inside the unit.
>> Just keep rinsing
A hand is to be placed under the sensor several times to prime it to get started. The soap is then dispensed rapidly onto the hand. Only a small amount is released, which is good to see, as this saves on waste. The liquid soap is thick and creamy, and once water is added it lathers up well. It seems to take a bit more effort to rinse off compared to the hand wash I generally use. The clinical scent seems to remain evident on the hands for some time after, too. I find this a little off putting.
>> More than I asked for
A big downfall to this product is that the soap is incredibly drying to my skin, as well as very irritating. I have found that my skin feels very hydrated, itchy and irritated by the end of the day which feels most uncomfortable. This is rather off putting, and I will not purchase a further bottle of the soap that is specifically designed for this unit. The No-touch operation is handy, as it dispenses the right amount, and is quick and easy to use.
>> Feeling irritated!
My hands have been left in a sorry state by the end of the day, and they feel and look awful. This soap is clearly too harsh for my skin, and much stronger than regular soap. I don't find that it cleans my hands any more than a regular soap. Having antibacterial properties in a hand wash is completely unnecessary. This can only encourage people to believe they need these types of products, when in reality we don't. We have survived without them in the past, and can continue doing so.
As expected the soap bottle which it comes with cannot be refilled, which means a new bottle needs to be purchased every time. The refills are expensive at around £3 a bottle, which is more than a regular liquid soap. This makes it an expensive product, as only the Dettol refills can be used with it. For the low price of the unit it has been okay, as it dispenses the soap as expected, and keeps the dispenser and sink area clean. However, the soap which it uses is far too strong and harsh on skin which is unnecessary. A regular soap cleans my hands just as good, and leaves my hands in good condition, whereas, this soap dries my skin after a few washes leaving it looking and feeling awful.
Personally, I wouldn't buy this product again, as there are other automatic soap dispensers which are far better, and are more economical in terms of use. Whilst this is a cheap alternative, I am not prepared to sacrifice my skin, or waste time trying to continuously refill the small bottle. I think the fact that the soap is antibacterial is not good, as it promotes fear of germs. Regular soap has been effective for years, and there is no need for antibacterial hand wash.
>> Rinse and refill immediately
Good old soap and water leaves hands clean and hygienic. Encouraging the use of antibacterial soaps can have a negative effect, as it can make us vulnerable to germs. A few germs are needed to remain healthy and to keep our immune systems functioning. Besides, everything we touch has a certain amount of germs on it.
>> Back to basics
For me, I fail to see any positives in this product. It looks cheap, the dispenser is small, and the bottle is tacky. The soap that is designed to use with this product does more harm than good. My hands are in terrible condition from using this soap. I will not be purchasing this soap again, as it is far too harsh and drying, plus it costs much more than regular soaps.
The fact that it contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E does nothing for it at all. The antibacterial properties strip the skin, leaving hands looking and feeling sore. Certainly not good for a family soap, which is what it is geared towards.
I have seen these advertised on TV and in magazines, and I knew it would never be something that I would bother buying. I am very much of the opinion that you need some germs in your life to build up a resistance. I have a couple of friends who are obsessively clean and they are always ill! I like things clean obviously but I do have more important things to worry about!
However, I was lucky enough to be sent one one these to review. I received the dispenser, the soap refill and it came with batteries already in it. I set it up straight away to give it a go.
The unit has an on/off switch at the back so you can turn it off when not in use for a while or when refilling it. A special soap bottle refill clicks in to the unit, it comes with a sticker on the bottom on the soap that you remove and then put the refill in place. Turn the unit on and wave your hand underneath and hey presto soap appears!
I was very happy that the soap came to an abrupt stop as I was a bit concerned you might get that annoying drip after you had moved your hand away thus making a mess. The dispenser itself is quite compact and doesn't take up much more room than say for example a bottle of Carex soap.
The soap that came with the dispenser has an Aloe Vera scent and is very pleasant and they smell stayed on my hands long after washing. The dispenser runs on 3 x AA batteries. I have yet to find out how long these will last, but it is a downside that you keep having to pay to run it. The refills retail for around £2.99 each which is rather more than I care to pay for soap. I have two under twos so I plenty of nappy changes during the day so soap is used in abundance in our house.
The dispenser itself retails for £11.99 I think this always includes one soap refill. I personally would never pay that much for this. To me it is just a gadget and by no means a useful piece of equipment. I will buy the refills for it if I see them on offer, but I won't buy them at full price.
Dettol are a well known trusted brand, and their products are good. This is well made and doesn't feel cheap, and if you hate germs so much you don't want to touch the soap then this is for you.
But can someone please tell me the point of having a no-touch hand dispenser when you still have to turn the tap on and off with your hands?!?!?
When I signed up to this site I decided I wouldn't make reviews for things that already had loads of reviews but for this I think I can make an exception. I can't even remember how it happened but just before Christmas last year this funky little gadget showed up in my bathroom by my sink. In all honesty, it's not that I can't remember but that I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. Either way this machine has had me entertained every time I wash my hands and against my expectations it hasn't dripped soap all over the sink.
Does it work?
Yes, in every way this works and does everything it says on the packaging also it doesn't make soap go everywhere. I feel the question does it work is too vague so I'll break it down a bit more.
How sensitive is it?
Perfectly so. The sensor will pick up a hand easily but isn't so sensitive that if a fly flew under it then the fly would then smell of lemon passion. Although trying to shoot flies with it would be fun then for the easily pleased (like moi) it is enough fun just waving your hands under it and seeing how long it takes to pick up you hand. For those who haven't understood the last sentence It's like waving your hand over a bunson burner trying not to get burnt like you used to do at school(don't lie, you did that too).
What's the soap like?
The soap smells quite nice but really it's just like any other soap. There are about 5 different "flavours" to choose from but what surprised me most is how long each refill lasts. As i said, I have had this since just before Christmas and I have only had to refill it once.
Wait a second, that's not a question. Oh well, back to the review. The dispenser is grey and white with a cool looking sensor that glows red on the front. You an turn off the sensor if you don't want it on and I'm guessing it runs on batteries but mine hasn't run out of power yet so I'm not really sure. I think it looks quite sleek and although the soap doesn't fit beautifully into the dispenser it also doesn't goofily stick out. It looks a lot cooler in the modern bathroom then a bar of soap or squirty bottle.
How big is it?
Well about the height of a loaf of bread and as thick as... about 5-10cm. I'm not great with size but I would say it's about the size expected.
Admittedly there isn't much you can get wrong with a soap dispenser but I would recommend it just because it doesn't waste any soap unlike squirty soap but if you don't have one then there's no need to rush to a shop and buy one. If you see one you ma as well buy it at only about £5.00(maybe a bit more).
Now I see myself as having very hygienic hands, I was my hands many times a day and am constantly concious of bacteria however I do not really see the point in a no-touch hand dispenser. Even if the button for a traditional hand dispenser is full of bacteria, why wouldn't you want to touch it? You are going to be disinfecting your hands with the soap anyway!
Nevertheless, we still have a couple of these in the house although it wan't me who decided to purchase them. We have a pure white one as shown in the picture and also a silvery one, I believe there is also a black one but I have seen no other variations of colour available other than these.
For it to operate, you must supply two AAA batteries and place them in the bottom of it. At first, I was a little worried about this. After all, you are putting an electrical appliance next to the sink. But, even if the work surface was dripping wet and the bottom of the dispenser was similar, none seemed to ever get into the battery compartment thanks to a rubber edging which keeps it watertight. This means that you have piece of mind that you are not going to destroy the dispenser as soon as you start using it.
To have soap dispensed, you simply place your hand under the spout and a small amount of soap will be dispensed automatically. It does this based on change in light and is usually very effective. However I have found issues in high-light situations in summer with the dispenser being next to the window.
The soap dispensed must be Dettol's own branded soap. This soap counteracts the very reasonable price of the dispensers by being about £3 per bottle. I get through one of the Dettol bottles in about a week also so was not very impressed with it. Because of the high maintenance price, we no longer use this. The soap itself is not very good either. It fails to lather very well at all and usually just runs off of your hands - this leads to having to re-dispense soap and this therefore causes you to run out of it even faster!
I'd resisted buying one of these groovy-looking gadgets for long enough, my logical mind insisted that 80 pence would buy me a supermarkets own brand of soap which was much better value than splashing out £10 on this soap system. However, after seeing the unit half price I thought it may look quite smart in my newly beautified kitchen!
It does look really smart, hence my initial (if a little superficial) reason for buying it. It's white in colour, solid in stature and just large enough to hold the soap dispenser without being overly big. I think it looks sleeker than having a soap dispenser and much tidier than having a bar of soap lying around which always leaves a white residue wherever its been laying.
No mess. This soap system really is very tidy. There is no need to be pouring liquid soap into dispensers, and the fact that you don't actually touch the system means it always remains clean with no spills or build up of dried soap, keeping it clean and hygienic.
It's so simple. The most difficult task in setting up and using this system was getting it out of its packaging! It's sealed into a plastic container so securely you'd think it was a toxic substance! After finally freeing the system it is easy. The soap container simply clicks into the top of the unit, batteries inserted into the bottom and it's ready to use. There is an on-off switch on the unit so you can ensure it is switched off while setting it up. It takes literally 10 seconds to put in place.
To wash hands you simply place your hand under the top of the unit and an adequate amount of soap is automatically dispensed.
It comes with batteries. There is no extra hassle of buying batteries as the system is supplied with the necessary AA batteries. No screwdriver is required either, the battery cover simply pops closed.
It smells beautiful. The soap is cucumber scented. I was actually not sure of this before I smelt it as I am not a fan of cucumbers! However, it smells really fresh, even the children have commented on the lovely smell.
The system encourages the children to wash their hands! Perhaps it's novelty, but due to the fact that it is a different and new way of washing they think it's great. I won't complain if they actually want to wash their hands!
It's Dettol! An obvious statement but to me Dettol has a great reputation. Anything that is made by this brand I automatically presume to be of a high standard, anti-bacterial and therefore very safe and hygienic.
The refills are not too highly priced. The system may be expensive to buy initially but I have found the refills at about £1.20 which I thought was quite reasonable.
The price is rather high if it isn't on offer. The full price is £9.99 though many stores are currently doing a half price offer at £4.99. In my opinion this isn't too bad as the initial cost for the unit only has to be paid once and then it is just a case of buying re-fills. The pack also comes with one refill and necessary AA batteries so it is ready ro go. At full price I think it's a lot to pay for a handwash system.
Mine is temperamental. Hopefully this isn't a problem across the board but mine doesn't always work! I guess this is a possible problem with anything mechanical/battery powered. It's very frustrating when I put my hand under it and nothing happens. I then have to go in another room to wash my hands which defeats the whole object of being convenient! An hour later it can work so it really is temperamental.
My daughter came home the other day with a gift for me. It was a Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash System and a bottle of Cucumber Splash soap to go in it. I was not that impressed at first but once I had tried it I found it really handy. She bought it on offer at Morrisons for £3 which is a real bargain, as they normally retail at around £6-£8!
The unit is made of plastic, mine is not white like in the picture but silver and looks ok on the bathroom windowsill. It is battery operated and has an on-off switch at the back so you can turn it off if it is not in use for a while. The soap slots into the top and refills are available.
To use the system you simply hold your hand under the spout and it automatically dispenses a blob of soap for you. This means that you eliminate the risk of spreading germs from your hands onto the dispenser. The soap has a lovely fresh cucumber fragrance and keeps my hands feeling soft. It also kills germs like e-coli and salmonella which is reasurring! As the owner of two dogs I spend time every day picking up poop from the garden and it is helpful to be able to wash my hands afterwards without having to touch anything. I now have one in the kitchen as well as the bathroom expressly for that purpose.
The one drawback I have found is that the sensor is extremely sensitive so if you accidentally wave your hand near the unit it will splodge soap onto the surfaces. I found this very annoying when I was trying to clean the unit until I remembered that you could switch the sensor off - duh! I just don't like seeing the soap go to waste in the sink, but other than that it is a good idea and works well.
My partner bought this on a whim in the January sales in Waitrose for £7.99, I didn't have the heart to mention that it was available for £6.65 all of the time on Amazon. But I do think she bought a decent product here.
The idea is that the No-Touch Hand Wash System allows you to dispense soap to your hands without putting germs all over the soap dispenser. To some this is just a waste as you wouldn't eat off of your soap dispenser or use it for anything other than it's purpose, but any germs in a kitchen are harmful so anything that can help eradicate them is worth a go in my book. It is also handy for toilet cleaning, the last thing you want to do after unplugging a U-bend or cleaning the toilet is then turn on a tap that you need to clean also, from this perspective it is very smartly produced.
We got one specifically because the idea of touching raw meat and then handling the soap dispenser always seemed a bit dodgy to us, this takes away any such fears and has given my partner much more confidence in using raw meat and fish in the kitchen. It also stops you having to touch a tap, which is sensible.
The product is easy to set up, you have the refill sitting in the top which makes it look like a hi-tech air freshener but nonetheless it is fine, all in white with a nozzle to dispense soap from it looks ok, but not anything amazing. Putting it together is incredibly simple with step by step diagrams, but it is all common sense stuff anyway.
The product comes with 250ml of hand wash dispenser, this is where my big beef with it is, the hand wash refills cost at the least £3.99 from Wilkinsons for a refill and more elsewhere, as much as I want a clean kitchen, this isn't comparable to handwashes available by big names like Palmolive in the shops for 99p. It leaves you as a slave to fortune and while it does the job you buy it for, it's too expensive to keep using.
The product claims to dispense exactly the right amount of soap, this is bluster I think as a child washing their hands probably wouldn't need as much soap as me, if it can read hand sizes it is incredible, but it seems generous with its servings which just makes it more upsetting when you know if you had control yourself you would release much less soap as you know how expensive refills are. The manufacturers obviously had the same idea!
The best thing about this product is that it does sense your hands and releases soap, the soap is clean smelling with a hint of cucumber. It also requires 4 x AA Batteries, so all in all you are looking at around £8-£10 to buy it, up to £4-£5 to refill it, or you could buy 14 or 15 bottles of Palmolive or Radox handwash and pretty much cover a year or two of handwash. The idea is that these should be in the kitchen and bathrooms, but that's quite a hefty investment for most of us.
It is nice but it's a novelty, until they address the pricing it is expensive for what it really does. If you are terrified of germs or really don't want to touch your tap after handling raw ingredients or cleaning the loo's then buy one, otherwise, do what people have been doing for centuries, wash your hands and carry on.
Society today seems to be overwhelmed with cleanliness and this is something that companies are cashing in on. Why touch an 'unclean' soap pump to wash your hands when you can do it hands-free. For these reasons I'm still undecided on the benefits of this gadget.
Growing up using a manual soap pump never caused me any harm, but they are now looked upon as unclean. It appears to have reached the point that humanity will do anything to avoid bacteria and if anything can be labelled as anti-bacterial, you can be assured it will be visible and well promoted. Does the age old adage of 'Whatever doesn't kill you make you stronger' not exist anymore? Putting this argument aside let us focus on the device.
The cost of the gadget is high (when compared to a normal soap pump). However, this is a one off initial purchase as the soap comes in refillable cartridges which are sold separately. This is where Dettol seek to maximise their profit. The refillable soaps can be extremely expensive but if you shop around you can also get them at more affordable prices. Also, as far as I have seen only Dettol soaps can be purchased for this product, whether a 'like' product becomes available to increase competition remains to be seen. The cartridges are also made in such a way that they cannot be refilled and reused (like an ink cartridge). Therefore the ongoing cost of this product should be considered before purchase
Personally, I think the amount of soap that is dispensed in a single use is far too much. I feel that only half the amount would be needed. Is this a design fault? Or very crafty design by Dettol, due to the refills they offer? That's up to you the consumer to decide before you buy. A major feature that I feel is missing is no early warning, to indicate when the soap level is low. Meaning you are only alerted to the need for a refill, when the soap is completely empty.
After months of using this device, I still haven't found the best location to place my hands, to get the soap to dispense every time. Each time I use the device I feel like I have to place my hands in a different position, however this could be user error. Also sunlight affects the sensor significantly, that on a bright morning I have had trouble getting soap to dispense. So should be kept in a place where sunlight exposure is minimised.
In this final section I want to cover some uses which I believe this gadget would be ideal for. This could be used as a fun device to encourage kids to wash their hands after the bathroom, making it something fun getting to use a gadget. It also has the potential to reduce mess, as manual soap pumps can be unpredictable. It would also be ideal for individuals who may find manual pumps hard to use. Such as the elderly, or others.
Overall the dispenser works well, but is it a necessity to have in your home? Personally, only if you can make it cost effective or it can provide a real benefit. Otherwise it's just another toy to play with.
I hate soap and bits hanging around my kitchen and bathroom sink scumming the place up and looking horrid nevermind unhygienic! Usually I buy liquid soap for a quid or so a time when I need it however I was really lucky the other day to find these Dettol No-Touch Hand Wash Systems in my local Poundland store and another lady looking at them told me she just bought her Mum one for almost £10.00 as she grabbed loads of the shelves so I quickly grabbed two of them knowing I was making a saving of around £18.00!
The Packaging:
Everything you need for the complete hand system comes encased in see through plastic and on the front of it we are told what it is and who it is by and that the option I bought is the Healthy Touch Anti-Bacterial formulation and that it kills 99.9% germs 'Cleansing Green Tea & Ginger' and that you get the dispenser, hand wash refill (20ml) and 4 AA batteries. On the back of the packaging we are told a bit about the product and how to set it up and use it and then on the base of the packaging contact details for the manufacturer are given. Nice enough packaging this is.
The Dispenser:
What you get is a rather large white dispenser with a red light to the front it it and a piece of grey and white plastic to the top of it of which the soap is dispensed from. At the base of the unit there is a very simple to remove panel where we are clearly told how to pop the batteries in the right way (you get 4 unbranded batteries with this as well) and to the back of the unit you get a manual on/off switch. The refill (you can buy these separately) is a large size and you can partially see the top of it when its in the unit and all in all although a large unit it is very well made, you take the label off the bottom part of the dispenser soap and thats that you gently shove it in the unit and away you go. I was really pleased it took me less than a minute to put it together and it was really, really easy.
Now you can leave this dispenser turned on and in which case it will only use the battery when you wave your hand near the sensor light and when it dispenses soap to which it gives you a very decent measure every time of said soap. Or of course if you have little ones about you can turn it off so I think this is great little feature and very well thought out indeed.
Me I keep mine turned off most of the time as I have a habit of making it sense me and dispense not needed soap all the time!
Like I mentioned earlier I have the Green Tea & Ginger variety of this and its a see through rather runny gel like liquid and to me it smells rather aftershavy with a hint of green tea to it and I cant detect the ginger aroma within in but it is really a fresh and clean fragrance this one and the scent lingers on my hands for ages after using it. It lathers up really easily, washes off easily too and knowing its a Dettol product I can trust that my hands are as clean as they feel and look, whats more this stuff is really moisturising in a none greasy way too.
I really love my units, I do wish it wasn't so sensitive to me and went off so much though when I least expected it to however its a quiet enough unit and looks really modern and all in all I love my two and so does my boyfriend who is a real clean freak so thumbs up from us on this one!
This review is also posted on Ciao under this same username.
I have two small children who are always on the go and I want to ensure that they are washing their hands properly with the right amount of soap and that it is anti bacterial.
I have always purchased hand soap however this was being squirted everywhere and the youngest can get soap all over the place as the last was blue it was a pain to clean off .
on a recent trip to my sister-in-laws she had the dettol no touch system which ticked all of my boxes dispenses soap into hand is of course protecting the children and its fun ensuring they want to wash their hands.
What is it?
The dispenser is operated by battery and is a cylinder shape when you place your hands under the spout it dispenses the correct amount of soup, the idea being that you are not leaving germs on the bottle of soap for the next person.
Cost and stockist:
The cost of these is very expensive at just under £10.00 and refills are around£3.00 however they are often on offer and at the moment are under half price in Superdrug at £4.89 see www.superdrug.com
Why buy?
Initially I thought these were an overpriced silly purchase the only use I could see for these would be people who had difficulty with movement in their hands. However I was willing to give this a try as my husband is a builder and was forever get grease and grime on the soap dispenser or the bar of soap and of course the mess that a whole bottle of blue soap can make is awesome and the fact that children need encouragement to ensure that they are washing their hands to prevent such nastiness as worms.
I have to say I think this is one of the best buys in hygiene and in keeping the bathroom tidy I have to say I think it is expensive and I wouldn't pay full price for it however at £4.89 I was prepared to pay this as I hope it will assist in the battle of hand hygiene my bathroom is cleaner there isn't soap all over the place the novelty of washing hands every two minutes is already over so it isn't being over used just used when needed.
I am happy with the purchase but I do think at £3.05 the refills are overpriced hopefully these can be found on offer two overall good for my needsbut three stars due to cost
Purchasing the Dettol No-touch Hand Wash System has really made me wonder. Don't you think we have been absolutely fine dispensing soap from a pump all this time, rather than leaving the job to a machine? I have to admit though, the way it was marketed really caught my attention. Yes, I admit it, after watching the advert and walking past it in the shops for weeks I felt that my life now warranted the use of an automatic soap dispenser. I even remember saying to myself, "If Tesco toilets have automatic soap dispensers, then I need one!" When I brought it home and set it up, I felt a deep feeling of great satisfaction, instantly followed by absolute hatred towards myself. It really hasn't made my life any easier.
Product Overview
When you bring the Dettol system home, you are greeted with plastic packaging, which in the past has brought me lots of pain and anger just trying to get through the stuff. However, to my surprise the packaging was incredibly easy to open, thanks to its simple hinged design. Once you get the product out you are faced with an instruction manual, which in my opinion, seemed totally pointless. The writing was completely ignored and I simply looked at the step by step diagram which told me everything I needed to know. Setting up was easy. Make sure the switch on the rear is in the off position and place the batteries in the battery compartment located on the bottom of the device. Once you have done this, you place the liquid soap container into the top of the device, switch it on and you are ready to automatically dispense soap at your hearts content. Setting up is incredibly easy, if my review was merely about that, this product would have received a 5/5 review. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There are just too many negative points to this product which outweigh all of the positives. One of them being, how awkward it is to have in the house. You see, the problem with it is, it doesn't sense a hand as such, but anything which moves in the sensors path. So, you could be innocently tidying in the kitchen around the device, you think you've not set it off and you carry on cleaning, when 3 seconds later you hear it activate. You are now left with a blob of soap just where you have wiped clean. It's not that much of a problem at first, until you go to correct the mistake. You grab and move the device like you would anything else in your home and you set it off again! Unless you constantly remind yourself to turn it off before you move it, you will do this very often. This got that annoying I stopped using it. Before I stopped using it I did have many more problems similar to this which also contributed to leaving it to collect dust.
I purchased mine for £4.99 from Morrisons complete with liquid soap and batteries. At that time it was on special offer and I do believe it normally retails at £6.99. The re-fills are expensive, around £4. I would recommend re-filling the container you received with the device, with your ordinary liquid soap. It will save you money, not a lot but at least you're saving!
Design / Look
Manufactured in plastic and available in "Stainless Steel" finish, which looks like grey plastic to me, and white. I bought the "Stainless Steel" finish but I do prefer the look of the white one. It is a solid piece of kit and doesn't look out of place at home.
This product is nice to look at, seems like a great idea at the time but it will inevitably lead to dissapointment, anger and will become a nuisance, well, it did for me. I would recommend you stick with what has been on the market for years, but, if you really do want one don't waste your money on the re-fills and remember to turn it off before you move it! I give this product an overall rating of 3/5.

Malchazeen mainhand?
Daggers are normalized at 1.7 speed while swords and maces are normalized at 2.4 speed. You lose some Whirlwind damage there. On the same note, Improved Whirlwind might serve you better if you're just dps.
Beside getting a few upgrades here and there, my damage still simply suck.
I don't get it, sure it`s not opitmal, but i was shocked how few damage i did in Karazhan while looking at the combat log. I`m a little clueless how to fix it and i`m in need for few advices.
Here you find the WoW Web Stat
Armory might take a while till it updates (tanking gear)
When i did 99 DPS or so i tried tanking *cough*
Really could need some help again
Malchazeen mainhand?
Daggers are normalized at 1.7 speed while swords and maces are normalized at 2.4 speed. You lose some Whirlwind damage there. On the same note, Improved Whirlwind might serve you better if you're just dps.
As fury, you basically live off crits. Using a dagger mainhand is destroying your crit damage. You could use a sword with 100 more top end damage and see huge boosts in your crit damage, which is going to be about 30% of your damage in a raid.
It's worth mainhanding a lower dps weapon that is slower and has a much higher top-end damage. Dps on the tooltip doesn't mean much for a mainhand because it's also being used on your instant attacks such as bloodthirst and whirlwind.
Decimator needs to drop first. So im stuck with the dagger, and i guess it`s better then a Vindicator Brand.... It isn't so bad with Daggers, only Whirlwind and HS are gimped. But most damage comes from White and Melee, which is not affected from normalization. Would be Vinidcator Brand better then Malchazeen?
Imp WW, mhh had that before, didn't really missed it. But my DPS is shocking bad.
I use vindicator's brand and I currently top the charts on our kara runs. However, your whole raid could massively outgear us and make our damage charts mean nothing, so I don't know what to tell you.
Your spec is the same as mine except I have imp. execute instead of imp. sprint.
1. Fel Leather gloves are the best until you get Gruul's lair ones. Change now.
2. Get honor pvp bracers
3. Get the trinket from the Ogri'la rep, with 2xdaggers that +7dmg is alot. Plus the 1min cd means you will never save the CD for anything. 2min you will, so change out the green trinket.
4. You should really have Hourglass of the unraveller and abacus of violent odds, point 3 is until you get both of these.
5. Enchant Malchazeen!
6. NEVER USE AP ENCHANTS/GEMS! You only use 4str/4crit or 8str. 4str/6stm(4crit/6stm) are the only other gems you use and only when you go for socket bonus, and only when that is AP/Str/Hit/Crit
7. Finish leveling up BS and get that 1h mace up to t2 a.s.a.p.!
8. Do Arena for S2 Chest!
9. Drop 1pt in DWspec for 1/2 Imp WW. It will net you more dmg.
10. Buy/Craft Vengeance Wrap, nothing better until Black Temple.
11. Run Heroic Slave Pens for Midnight Legguards.
Attack cycle:
3. If Flurry isn't up use Hamstring.
4. If you have spare rage and enough threat space use HS.
Tip1: If your tank hasn't put up 5 sunders on the target when you start, do the last ones for him. This applies to anything that doesn't die in 15seconds.
Tip2: If dpsing on trash and the next pull is fast, don't use execute. You will get better use for the rage on the next mob.
A faster weapon means he will just crit more often and the dps means his overall dmg will be higher.
Oh and bye the bye...your white dps is 50+% of your total dmg, so the higher base dps is a bigger boost .
Looking specificly at Shade Of Aran on this DPS report will tell you quite a bit about whats going on.
Envie - WWS
You Bloodthirsted 27 times, in a five minute duration. 6second cooldown 6X27 = 162 seconds = 2.7minutes... You could have bloodthirsted almost 50 times.
Now, of course, things happen during aran where you cannot nessecarily hit every cooldown (Arcane Explosion for example). But you should Bloodthirst -EVERY- time you can. Should take first priority over every other ability.
Your Bloodthirsts also crit for a Max of 2028. Which leads me to believe in this specific instance your attack power was somewhere around 1600, Before battleshout.
Whirlwinded 16times.
Heroic Strike 18 times.
I'm curious what you were doing with all the extra rage?
You have an amazingly high hit rate, However the effectiveness of Hit drops drastically after 8.6% (Talents and gear) because at that point special attacks can no longer 'miss'. So Hit only effects white damage at that point, If you're heroic striking every hit (With a windfury totem this is completely viable) it becomes even less important.
Your crit rate is right around 25% in this report aswell, provided you are using the extra attacks inbetween each hit, AND since you are weilding two weapons of the same speed. It's decent, a slightly higher crit rate would do you good (Factor in Glancing blows as eating charges of flurry)
*Note since you are using two weapons of the same speed the game cannot calculate which one swings first, so effectively your flurry has 4 charges*
You had a Bloodthirst get parried too, Aran is bad example but it's always helpful to attack from behind at all times if viable.
Try to examine on a boss by boss basis, rather than looking at an entire run too.
Waiting for pummel, in on Flame Wrath he would run away, which he does alot, even though not all school are interrupted. THis takes ALOT of attack time, and with this, rage away. Not just the Arcane Explosion. You need also to hold rampage up, which sadly you can never use to the last second because Stuff like above happends.
Yeah around 1500-1600 AP can vary it a little but there is a problem!
Like you mentioned, i have very very high hit rating. But everytime i try to get rid of some hit rating i lose crit or AP too and get really upgrade one of these stats.
Crit i have about 25% unbuffed in Bersi, but i self buffed me up to 30% (faked a feral^^).
Weapons..i don't have any better, deciamtor needs to drop which woukd help greatly.
Well i didn't really choose Aran as Benchmark because he is not a simple tank and spank fight, like Attumen for example, so i used attumen more but i had the Headpiece and the the Drape back then (got them this kara run).
I try to do Whirlwind less, but as far as i can rembember, if i could, i used BT.
Thanks for the tipps
biggest thing by far is AP go with daylanors suggestions on gear. Vengeance wrap is a huge upgrade slap a 20 ap gem from honor in it and you cant go wrong 72 AP rocks.
I agree with Imi - this is an old shot of our first Aran kill (pre-nerf), which happened to get the synched DPS meter - I'm using a vindicators MH and a 70 dps sword and was 918 DPS over the fight compared to your stated 509..
get rid of the daggers asap IMO.
looking at your spec the biggest tip I can give you for PvE damage - drop imp intercept for imp execute - it makes a HUGE difference when rexecuting
rotation should be BT, WW, hamstring, rage & AP boosts, HS for dumping rage:
edit: lol just realised I'd used last stand, so I wasn't even 17/44 but had 15 points in prot so it was very early kara days when I thought I needed some prot points for offtanking - we only ever used 2 healers. The other thing I note is I had those green quest shoulders.. sigh

If you want to be even more efficient with execute range, get two 1.5 speed weapons so you can execute on literally every GCD aswell.
Mastering the Ten rage execute = Win on bosses with assloads of health.

Well, you have a fairly unorthodox spec. If I had to guess, I'd say you are very durable, but you are doing a decent margin below the threat you could be capable of. Single target threat also being much stronger than multi-target threat. I'm ALWAYS an advocate of, "if it works for you and your group, you shouldn't feel like you have to mess with it for other peoples tastes or min/maxing."
If you want to adapt it for using a 2-hander, I'd suggest just swapping the 2 pts from DW spec to Black Ice, if you want to keep Lichborne.
If you want to get more out of the trees, I'd have plenty of suggestions, but I'll only make those if you ask for them. =)

Home » Emma » Suspension
Real Name
Tenille Dashwood
Date of Birth
March 1, 1989
Place of Birth
While a lot of fans are under the impression that he walked away from WWE, CM Punk contradicted those beliefs during a podcast interview with Colt Cabana. The former world heavyweight champion was suspended for two months by Vince McMahon. When the suspension was over, he received a letter from management, informing him that he was fired and would no longer receive royalty payments.
November 27, 2014
During an interview with Primera Noticias, Alberto Del Rio revealed some details about his release from WWE. He stated that while Vince McMahon did admonish him, he was also told to go back to work. Del Rio found out the following day that he was then given a suspension. Shortly afterwards, Triple H called and told him that he was being fired instead of just suspended.
August 18, 2014
After being given some time off of television, where his character was serving a story line suspension, Bobby Roode made his much anticipated return to Impact Wrestling this week. The former TNA champion came back to save Eric Young, who had just lost the world title, from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Roode received a warm reception from the audience.
June 19, 2014
In the storyline, Bobby Roode is serving a suspension from Impact Wrestling because he confronted MVP, who recently turned heel. Apparently, that suspension could be ending soon, as the longtime TNA star is being advertised for Slammiversary 2014 weekend. He does not have a match, but there is a very good chance that he could be making his on screen return that evening.
June 3, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
Even though the company quickly rehired her, Emma might actually still be in hot water with WWE. The diva was not spotted backstage at Monday Night Raw or Smackdown this week. The belief is that the company has sent her home for the time being. Many believe that it will be quite some time before Emma is allowed back on television.
July 10, 2014
When she was arrested at Walmart for shoplifting last week, there was a lot of assumptions about what would happen with Emma. When WWE released her, many assumed that part of the reason was because her work visa was being pulled. However, when the company immediately brought her back on board, it is now being said that she will still be legally allowed to work in the United States.
July 7, 2014
In a very subtle manner, CM Punk took a jab at WWE for their recent handling of the Emma situation. When she was released, former writer Seth Mates posted a message on Twitter about the company being hypocritical and holding double standards. Punk added that post as a favorite on his account. The fact that Punk would do that shows that he still harbors some resentment towards WWE.
July 3, 2014
Sensing that they were going to receive quite a bit of backlash for overreacting to the arrest and having double standards for their performers, WWE has decided to reinstate Emma after giving her a release earlier in the day. Some have cited the previous arrest of Jack Swagger and Cameron, who actually attempted to bribe a police officer, as a reason why WWE was forced to change their minds.
July 2, 2014
A day after she was arrested for shoplifting, WWE has released Emma from her contract. There were those in the company that believed that she would be allowed to ride out the storm because the item stolen was not very expensive, but it turns out that Vince McMahon and company needed to make an example of her. Since she was not very high up on the card, it was easier for WWE to release her.
July 2, 2014
When news broke out that Emma was arrested for shoplifting at a Wal Mart, there were rumors all over the place that she had stolen a case for an iPad. The police department has now released some details on the situation. It was indeed a red case for an iPad Mini. The valuation of the item is just a little over $20.
July 2, 2014
In a rather interesting and disturbing bit of news, Emma was arrested at a Wal Mart in Hartford, where Monday Night Raw was being taped, yesterday. She was released from custody shortly afterwards, and some alleged details have been coming out. Rumors have it that she was caught for shoplifting, and the item is believed to be a special iPod case. WWE has issued a statement on the ordeal, stating that she is responsible for her personal actions.
July 1, 2014
One of the reasons why Santino Marella worked a segment with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter on Monday Night Raw this week was because Emma was overseas. WWE sent the diva to her home country of Australia to do some promotional work for an upcoming tour. Management really does not have a long term plan for Santino and Emma, but they like utilizing the two of them on television together.
June 11, 2014

May 8, 2014
As is usually the case with every pay per view, you can expect WWE to do last minute additions to the Extreme Rules 2014 match card. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Curtis Axel and Ryback are expected to get the seventh match on the card. If WWE needs another filler match, then Emma, Santino Marella, Layla El and Fandango are the top candidates for that spot.
April 27, 2014

April 24, 2014
A rather interesting scene took place during the Divas invitational match at Wrestlemania 30 last night. Cameron suffered a wardrobe malfunction, where her top came unhooked during a spot with Emma. Cameron was noticeably trying to hold on to her shirt, so that her breasts would not become exposed to WWE fans. After the spot, she went to the side and repaired the wardrobe malfunction.
April 7, 2014
In order to fill up the arena, WWE is giving away tickets to Wrestlemania 30. Santino Marella and Emma, who have been working together on Monday Night Raw over the past several weeks, were sent around New Orleans to hand them out to lucky fans. WWE is even promoting it through YouTube, in order to drum up even more excitement for the pay per view.
April 4, 2014
While some are under the impression that WWE could be dropping the Emma story line because it was not featured on Monday Night Raw, the company still has plans on pushing her. It was simply a matter of time being a factor, as the company was heavily trying to promote as much of Wrestlemania 30 as they possible could have on television.
April 4, 2014
Initially, there was a push backstage in WWE to have AJ Lee defending the belt against Naomi Knight in a straight up match, but for the sake of Total Divas, management opted to just throw as many of the girls into the match as possible. Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Layla El and Tamina Snuka are now involved.
March 25, 2014
"Being in this industry isn't for everyone, that's for sure. Wrestling consumes your whole life ... for me that's fine, it's what I want, but for others not so much. Being in this industry means being at the Performance Centre five days a week, sometimes from morning until night, then doing shows on the road the other days of the week. I've only been home (to her Orlando apartment) twice a week for the whole of this year." - Emma talks about the wrestling business
March 21, 2014
During a recent interview, Emma revealed that WWE has a new rule for the developmental wrestlers. They are no longer allowed to use baby oil on television because it looks really bad in high definition. Performers have long used the substance to make themselves a bit shinier and more appealing to the audience.
March 21, 2014
Since Santino Marella was not on hand at the WWE live event in Corpus Christi, Dolph Ziggler was chosen as his replacement, teaming up with Emma to beat Fandango and Summer Rae in a mixed tag team match. No word yet on why Marella was absent, but this does not appear to be a permanent change in the story line.
March 18, 2014
