A colleague of mine called one morning to ask a favor: If I could post a series of emails on my blog. The emails, posted below, transpired after what is easily described as an assault on her during a business-related outing a few months ago.
While asking for this favor, she mentioned that she is just tired of hearing people say things like "that never really happens" or "I've never seen it" or generally assume that these events are part of some world gone by...if only that were true.
One last comment...You might be wondering why she asked me to post these instead of doing so herself. I'm sure she has many reasons, but the one I find the saddest is the fear of backlash or retribution. Not just from the individuals involved, or the company she works for, but the community she feels apart of. The idea that something terrible has happened to someone and that individual cannot even count on the support of people or organizations who should be on her side is complete and utter bullshit.
I applaud her courage for reaching out and deciding to make this public in hopes to raise awareness about these atrocities to all people.
These things really happen! They happen now! They likely happen to people or friends of people you know personally!
And they NEED TO STOP!!!

What's in a name?
In 2010, I started this blog for professional reasons, choosing the name Rising Tide Harbor.
A harbor, as I'm sure many are aware, is a place on the coast where boats go for safety or protection.
I've also always liked the phrase "a rising tide lifts all boats". It's an aphorism that means general improvements will benefit all participants.
It was in this mindset that I hoped others would find my experiences, ideas and questions about Lean & Agile in organizations useful in someway. Either by not feeling alone with similar questions or that they might find my experiences or ideas helpful somehow.
Over the last few years I've realized that many if the problems and issues I see in organizations actually run much deeper…or perhaps broader. They reach outside the organization into the systems around organizations. These topics tend to be more about politics, economics or society.
So today I'm choosing to relaunch this blog, under its original name and original intent, but to cover these boarder topics as well. I hope folks find this content just as enjoyable, but if you are interested in my more professional musings or experiences look over at www.odbox.co for that content.
Thanks for reading!

Dr. Jenkins discusses the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest. A heart attack is a blockage of the coronary artery where the blood flow is limited and the person has damage to their heart muscle. Cardiac arrest is a problem with the electrical rhythm of the heart where you develop conditions and the heart muscle become chaotic and no longer properly pumps blood. Causes for these conditions include the following risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and are generally the same risk factors as those associated with heart disease. Patients that are more at risk are those with more risk factors. Prevention is the key when it comes to heart disease. Risk factors can be limited by living a healthy lifestyle through healthy eating and regular exercise.
Dr. Jenkins practices at Ochsner Medical Center, Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner, and Ochsner St. Anne General Hospital. He can be reached at (504) 842-7690.

Fairly fun but fairly short. Re-playable, but the same game each time through.
Only played the demo - thinking about buying, definitely would be a good $20 game.
Decent comical Shooter. Great fun if you can look around the visuals.

I'd disagree. Journaling provides no more protection then ext2, it
just allows you to reboot faster.
Most "corruptions" seem to be an actual error.

UGH. You want to find that your directory of email, source code,
invoices, or whatever important but infrequently used files are corrupt
6 months after the fact (on average 3 months).

Umm, how so? ext2 keeps multiple copies of the superblock, theres
a fair bit of redundancy, fsck is good at repairing filesystems, and
often even in fairly bad cases will move a file to /lost+found, which
requires manual inftervention, but does allow recovery.
In the journaled fileystem or ext2 partial writes result in corruptions
of files/metadata written inconsistently righ before a power failure.

Well it's pretty easy to see the advantage, for instance I'm grabbing a
photo every second from a webcam, originally I put them in
a directory per day. At 86400 files the directory operations were
quite slow, I'd expect reiserfs to be much better in this scenario.
Usenew/nntp servers will likely enjoy a similar advantage on reiserfs.
Just wanted to caution people that journaling FS's aren't a magic boot,
they do allow faster reboots, but offer less of a guarentee of filesystem
integrity when they do.

This is a term of endearment and respect when you hear it used among military personnel. This term refers to the person who is in charge of a boat , ship, or vessel while it is out at sea. The skipper is in command of the vessel and may or may not be the highest ranking person on the vessel.
This term is more commonly used among civilians on boats or yachts. Other military terms which mean the same thing are Captain, or Commander. The word is derived from the Dutch word schipper which actually means "ship." So now you know.
If you have ever been affiliated with a seagoing vessel you can create your own custom US Navy Commemorative Ring to show your affiliation. You can choose between celestrium, silver, 10kt, and 14kt gold for your metal choices. There are many ways to show or state your affiliation on the sides of the ring.

Welcome to With a Side of Thriftiness!
I'm so glad you stopped by! Here, you'll discover a medley of encouragement and inspiration as I make the Life of being a Housewife, Delightful! But, this blog is not just for House Wives nor just for Women, it's for Everyone! I've broken down the content of this site into a few categories:
- Home Matters
- Faith Food
- Reviews (Coming Soon!)
- PINspiration
- Deals!
- LoCo Only
- GiveAways
- & Freebies
Why should you follow this blog? Because, we all need a little "cents" of thriftiness in our busy lives!
Here's a bit of a background as to who I am:
My name is Dawn and am married to my best friend Matthew, of whom I met in the second grade. Although we did not date while in school, he is still very much my SweetHeart! In December of 2010, I left the corporate world to become a House Wife! So many good things came from quitting the workforce (and to think I was so afraid what was to come of turning in my resignation). I let go of my fears and trusted God. By reducing my stress and increasing my time, enabled me to focus more on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and grow in Him! It's amazing! I finally had the time to realize the importance of my relationship with God. Although I've always been a believer, my thoughts and sight became clearer and stronger. I made it a priority to spend time in The Word, my Husband & I even took the Trust further and began to tithe, we even started to volunteer in the Children's Department at our Church. So fun!
Speaking of Children, this was one of the bigger deciding factors as to why we prayerfully considered that I leave the workforce. It is something that God has placed on our hearts, mine & My Husband's desire to have children. We wed in 2007 and had big plans for a family. But, as they say, our plans are never our own. We have suffered several miscarriages. It's heartbreaking, but I trust in The Lord and in His will for our lives. We are yet to have a child but we have grown closer to God and to each other. In the meantime, we both have strived for health so that we can prepare ourself for pregnancy, if it is to happen again… God willing. Please keep us in prayer!
Since beginning my adventure as a HouseWife, I was introduced to Couponing. Wow! I never knew that I could save so much money just by clipping coupons and pairing them with sale prices. And, who would've thought that I could actually be paid to take products home? It's crazy I say, just plain crazy. The most interesting thing is, by couponing and being more in tune to our money output, we have cut our food bill in half. I'm still blown away by this. I hope to help you do the same with your grocery bills!
Through couponing, preserving our funds and having that need to find the best deal that I can, led me to something I never had dreamed of. I competed in a National Competition with CheapSally with the hopes of winning a one-year blogging contract, valued at $100,000! For the first two months, I had to market myself so that I could be the top vote-getter in Ohio. I never thought that I could market, but promoting myself wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. As it turned out, people actually like me! And, they supported me. I'm still amazed at how much support I had and am forever thankful for the same. The final stage of the competition was a grueling one! Each day a specific item was given for us to find the best online price of. Sometimes it was if I was searching for a needle in a haystack! Other days, I was able to find some pretty low prices but would spend hours continuing to search as it is ingrained in me that I MUST find the best deal that I can. Although I did not win, I did place #1 in Ohio and #12 Nationally. I tend to be a very humble person, but I have to say that I was, and am, proud of my achievements. I placed well among several seasoned savers!
This competition has led to even bigger and better things for me! I've made so many connections in the Blogging and Savings world. And, for an even more exciting part of my unexpected blessing… I was chosen by the CheapSally Team to be among a select few to start blogging for Bloggerlicious! I am filled with so much anticipation, it's just simply going to be AWESOME! I have never blogged professionally before. This blog is my first professional blog! I can't wait to see what still lays ahead of me in the world of blogging.
I hope that everyone who stops by will be able to find something just for them! If you have any suggestions, I am open to any and all. Thank you so much for your interest and your support of my new ventures. As you browse and follow my blog, I pray that it will encourage growth and joy in your life. In which, is the very goal that I have for myself… continue to grow! Grow as a Person, Wife, Homemaker and more importantly as a child of God! In speaking of Joy, I must first speak of Happiness. We seem to be in continual pursuit of happiness. To me, happiness is something that is effected by external factors. Instead of always looking for the "happy" in everything, I'm choosing to seek JOY! Joy is something that is found internally. Something, that I have more control of. If I seek joy, happiness is sure to follow
As I am learning more of how to become and be a professional blogger, I am still striving to learn how to be The Best House Wife that I can be! I hope that you can grow along with me as we take on this new adventure! You can also find me on FaceBook and follow me on Twitter too @WaSoTHRIFTINESS!

Wow, Dawn, you have exciting things ahead! I am so proud of you and all that you are doing and are going to accomplish! Thank you for sharing your story, we will be praying for you and Matt and that God will bless your family! Love you guys!
Good luck on the baby trials……it will happen when its supposed to…….this is my first visit to this site, I intend on coming back regularly. Thx so much for the great info, and have fun with the blogging;) shannin, Bay Area, CA

Thank you again
Kris 😉
Glad I found your blog. I especially like the Birthday freebies section. I'm going to have to utilize those more.
So Very proud of you and Matthew. You both have come so far. God Bless you and Matthew in Everything u do. God is faithful.
I sure hope God sees that you become parents soon. You will make good & loving parents.
The little bit that you told about yourself is inspiring! To bad that there isn't more people in this world who are like you, and look to God for help, inspiration, and encouragement. I don't think I would have been as brave and strong as you if I encountered a miscarriage, but that is where your relationship with God comes into play. I just had a son (he is going to be 8 months old this month), and it took me a year to get pregnant. I didn't think it was going to happened because of my family history, but it did! I was starting to feel down about everything. We got our son Baptized this past summer, and I read him the Children's Bible that was given to him as a present every night before bed, we just need to start going to church more now. Especially when we are going through some tough times, I know that God will be there to help answer our questions, and that is something I want to teach our son….
I love couponing, but unfortunately, up here in Canada, we can't coupon like you guys in the States I have managed to save a bit of money here and there while grocery shopping, but I wish I could save more.
Good luck in your personal life, couponing, and blogging!!

Notre Dame professor to deliver talk on the Bible and Qur'an
The Notre Dame Club of Arkansas and the UALR Middle Eastern Studies will host a presentation by Dr. Gabriel Said Reynolds titled "The Bible & The Qur'an."
The talk will be held at 7 p.m., Thursday, April 3, in the Stella Boyle Smith Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Building at UALR. The event is free and open to the public.
The lecture will discuss the latest academic debates about the Qur'an and focus on the question of its relationship to the Bible.
According to Reynolds, Muslims view the Qur'an as the fullest expression of God's concern for humanity. To critical scholars, however, it is a poorly understood text.
Reynolds is a professor of Islamic Studies and Theology at the University of Notre Dame. He earned his Ph.D. from Yale University where he studied Islam and Christianity.
Dr. Reynolds teaches courses including "Islam and Christian Theology," "The Holy Land," and "The Qur'an and its Relation to the Bible." He has also delivered lectures and conducted research in cities throughout the Middle East including Ankara, Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut, Damascus, and Tehran.
For more information, contact Joshua Thomsen at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Tragic Muse is Henry James's novel about the "artist-life" (Tragic Muse, 1). First conceived as a short novel about "the histrionic character" (Perosa, 38) a year after the publication of the two big novels of James's so-called "middle period" – The Bostonians (1886) and The Princess Casamassima (1886) – The Tragic Muse actually appeared as seventeen instalments in the Atlantic Monthly magazine between January 1889 and May 1890. What Dorothea Krook calls "perhaps the most distinguished novel" of this period of James's career (62) was published at a loss in book form in Britain, by Macmillan, and in America by …

My chicken in black bean sauce was great. I tried a fish hot pot that my friend ordered and I loved it. I am Indian and i love spicy food. But take heed : if the hostess says its hot, it pretty darn is. The service was good till we placed our order and then they forgot about us. But the food is really worth several more visits. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I went for the sesame chicken lunch special...the service was poor, the food was pricy, and the quality was sub-par to any hole-in-the-wall chinese place in Manhattan. Not to mention they got 2 of the 3 items I ordered wrong.

We had dinner here on a Friday evening. After reading the reviews. The food was incredible! Will definately go back on our next NYC visit.

I got takeout based on the reviews here. I ordered the vegetable dumplings and the spicy sichuan chinese broccoli and was unimpressed. The dumplings were thick, doughy and boiled with practically nothing inside. I wouldn't say they were inedible, but my guess is the leftovers are going to remain untouched in the refrigerator. The broccoli was OK - sauteed in garlic, oil and dried peppers...nothing more. It was fine - simple but just fine. If you're looking for something with more flavor, I don't recommend these dishes.q

I read all the reviews and the food was excellent. I had the chicken and garlic sauce and it was really spicy but delicious, also tried General Tso's worth getting too. I would definitely try the lunch menu, a good bang for your buck.

ReNaissance Merchant Bank (RMB) is now seeking to convert into a commercial bank after returning to profitability, a board member has said, dismissing fears new shareholder, the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) could lose the bank to former owners.
NSSA took over RMB after the bank had crumbled due to delinquency by former shareholders. RMB had been placed under recuperative curatorship by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) before NSSA emerged with a rescue package.
Speaking to The Financial Gaz-ette's Companies & Markets in an interview, RMB board chairperson, Joseph Kanyekanye, said the banking unit had become profitable and would seek regulatory approval to start commercial banking activities to increase products.
"We also want to convert to a commercial bank because it allows us to have more products," Kanyekanye said, expressing confidence NSSA would be unaffected by current threats by former majority shareholder, Patterson Timba, to reverse the deal due to allegations the ReNaissance Financial Holdings Limited (RFHL) board which approved the transaction was illegal. RMB was wholly owned by RFHL prior to the takeover.
"With regard to the curator's powers, one may want to refer to Section 54 of the Banking Act, which states, under Section 24:20 that 'effect of placing banking institution under curatorship (1) The issue of a direction in terms of Section 53 shall have the effect of suspending the powers of every director, officer and shareholder of the banking institution concerned, except to the extent that the curator may permit them to exercise their powers'," said Kanyekanye.
He said in terms of the Act, RFHL had no right to convene any meeting or take any action without the curator's consent as alleged by Timba.
"In this case, the curator did not permit RFHL to hold an annual general meeting by the RFHL shareholders," said Kanyekanye.
He said RMB management had done a paper which had been approved by the board to rebrand RMB.
"Within 45 days, we will implement (the rebranding) including change of name, colours, attitudes, ambiance and location. We shall also be relocating from ReNaissance Park. There is going to be retraining for employees, right up to the chairman so that everyone gets to understand what we want to achieve as a bank," Kanyekanye said.
"Within the shortest possible time will be ready to launch a new bank with a totally different attitude anchored on good corporate governance, honesty, integrity and that we are people who will keep their word; and also we are already trading positively from a loss of US$8,5 million before we came in. We are quite confident that we will actually have decent earnings at the end of the year," he said.
He said he was eager to have those who abused depositors funds at the bank prosecuted.
"I am extremely disappointed that there are two criminal cases reported under serious fraud both by the RBZ (Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe) and the bank itself, which for some reason we do not appear to have any necessary traction. The police were given the supporting evidence and the case numbers. The RBZ case was filed as case number CR124/1/2012 then there is one reported by the bank under CR197/01/12, which was reported at Highlands Police Station," Kanye-kanye said.
Asked why has there had been no progress in the prosecution of offenders, Kanyekanye noted: "I am actually baffled by the whole thing. I can't understand it. Where I come from, when people do wrong they should be punished, but in this case people are actually glorifying people who abused depositors' funds. As chairperson of RMB, I am determined to ensure that the full wrath of the law takes its course sooner rather than later. My colleagues in the banking industry and the professional bodies should make a statement by dissociating themselves from people who have acted in this disgraceful conduct."
He said the bank had lost money invested in two failed banks, Genesis and Interfin, but indicated there were efforts to recover the cash.
"We have lost money to two banks - Genesis and Interfin. Genesis has agreed it is going to refund the amount, about US$600 000. Interfin is still under curatorship and we can't conclusively say we have lost money," Kanyekanye said.
The curator and NSSA sought the following approvals which were obtained: NSSA's investment committee approved the transaction subject to Cabinet approval, which was then obtained through the Minister of Labour and Social Services. The RMB board approved the transaction on October 6, 2011 on the basis of the valuation of the net asset value of the bank as at September 26, 2011 and PwC's valuation. The ReNaissance Financial Holdings (RFHL) board, as the shareholder, then approved the transaction on November 21, 2011. The Ministry of Youth Development, Indigenisation and Empowerment also approved the transaction in terms of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act on December 20, 2011 and so did the RBZ, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and the Ministry of Finance on January 12, 2012, January 27, 2011 and January 31, 2012 respectively. Upon procurement of these approvals, the transaction then became effective.

Park in the public parking lot. Walk to Lagoon and paddle accross. Walk 50meters donw the beach, you can't miss it. As the Lagoon empties into the sea it pushes out sand. This makes a permanent right hand bank. Bank is very well formed after the winter storms.
There are very few locals. The masses always surf at Milnerton Beach up the road. If Milnerton has 50 to 100 people in the water and is crowded, you'll find a few locals out there. The vibe in the water is always good as long as you wait your turn and don't hassle!

RCMP Corporal Justin Hewlett is commending the quick response time and brave work of the local Fire Department and the public in Westport in getting a man to the hospital after he was involved in an incident in the woods near that community earlier this week.
Hewlett says he was already in Westport on Tuesday evening responding to a motor vehicle accident when a local resident ran up to him and said they needed an ambulance for a man that was trapped under a log more than a kilometer in the woods.
Hewlett says it was his understanding that the man had gone in to cut firewood that morning and his family went looking for him when he didn't return home when expected.
Hewlett says when he arrived on the roadside, he was told that a number of people would be needed to get the man out. Hewlett says another local man went into town and started rallying bodies to come help.
"It was 75 minutes from the time I was informed, and called the ambulance, to the time the man was headed to the hospital," he said.
Hewlett maintains that it would be a challenge to get any better result, considering the Volunteer Fire Department and members of the public travelled to where the man was, freed him, and got him out safely in such a short period of time.
"It was really a testament to the great work done by the local people - they took it very seriously, and did a great job."
The man's injuries have not been confirmed.

Spin Doctor Tech Tip – Tire Sizing
January 12, 2010 24 Comments
Many new riders are confused by bike tire sizing. Hopefully the following tutorial by our Spin Doctor Tech Tip team will clear up some of the confusion.
Tire Sizing:
Bike tires are sized by a simple combination of diameter and width. Modern road tires are sized in millimeters. The most common road tires are 700C's, meaning they are about 700mm in outside diameter (O.D.). If the tire is 700 x 23 then it is ~700mm in diameter and the inflated tire is 23mm wide. MTB tires are sized in inches, so a mounted and inflated 26 x 1.95 tire is about 26" in O.D. and 1.95" wide.
Common road tire diameters:
700C is by far the most common modern size
650C is a smaller size used on some time trial and triathlon bikes
27 inch is a less common, older American size
27" & 700Cs are not interchangeable [see ISO Sizing below]
Common mountain bike tire diameters:
26″ is the most common size
29" is based on the 700C road size (see ISO Sizing below) and is essentially a wider and knobbier 700C tire fitted to a wider and stronger 700C rim Read more of this post

Written by Michael Rouleau
Willimantic, Conn. - Two high-level Connecticut court officials will speak at Eastern Connecticut State University on March 26 for Eastern's University Hour series. At 3 p.m. in the Student Center Theatre, Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers and Superior Court Judge Maria Kahn will speak with the Eastern community about justice and the judicial system in today's world.
Born and raised in Angola, Africa, Kahn was appointed a Superior Court Judge in 2006 and currently is assigned to hear criminal matters in the Fairfield Judicial District Courthouse. She moved to the United States at 10 years of age, is fluent in three languages and serves on a number state and national Bars.
Rogers, a Connecticut native, was sworn in as Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court in 2007--the second woman ever to reach this designation in Connecticut. She was also appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the State Justice Institute's Board of Directors. In addition to serving on a number of prestigious Bars and committees, Rogers is also an adjunct professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law.
"The event is open to the public and will be organized in a question-and-answer format," said Starsheemar Byrum, coordinator of the Women's Center. "Arrive early at the Student Center Theatre to ensure a good seat."

I really like this. I have oily sensitive skin, nc 25-30. Shade 53 is a good match. It looks a tad dark after application but oxidizes to my exact skintone by the end of the day.
The coverage is solid medium. I have troubled skin and it t covers most redness and uneven skintone but not major blemishes. The texture is very runny, I always use f80 whenever applying cos I find applicatioon with finger will be a mess.This can be layered but no so much. Never break out from this which is a major plus because my skin is super sensitive.
The thing that I like most is the finish. It dries to powdery matte without looking fake. The oil control lasts me up to 3 hours without blotting and powder.
I'd say this is very good for oily girls, but you should avoid it if you have trouble with dry patches as it will accentuate every tiny bit of them. The price is okay, a bit high for drugstore products, but for me it's worth it!

I have a pretty bad acne scar on my face because I suffer acnes since I was 15 years old (now I am 27 years old female). I have a moderate to heavy oily skin and quite large pores on my cheek. This foundation give me a matte finish look that last around 6 hours ( I didn't use primer with it, and I live in Jakarta - Indonesia >> hot and humid), but after that It will give me just a slight oily look.
Overall, it doesn't break me out (I also start a healty food, avoid dairy products and egg, start hitting the gym). It covers my scar acne pretty good, I would recommend use MAC #190 foundation brush for its application for more flawless coverage.
Some review says that this foundation don't go along with dry skin, I don't know about this since I have an oily skin and it gives me a super matte look (I finish this foundation with KANEBO LUNASOL #1 loose powder - Amazing!)
My only cons about this foundation is that it will easily transfer to fabric (clothes, napkin, etc) but consider its pros for me then I just being more carefull.

I purchased this foundation after finishing my Healthy Mix. unfortunately it is a disappointment for two reasons: (a) my face gets oily after 4-5 hours, T-zone becomes shiny and so I have to touch up with powder or oil absorbing sheets. (b) a minor drawback, it does not have the fresh fruity/floral note like Healthy Mix.
i will still finish this bottle (less motivated to use on daily basis though) and rather stock up my good old favourite

I have skin that goes very red when I get over heated or embarrassed, but this foundation is the best one I've tried at making my skin look perfect. It lasts for ages, made my skin look flawless, covers redness amazingly and a light coat makes my brown freckles almost disappear. So impressed with this foundation. It matches my skin tone so perfectly, even my mum and my best friends couldn't tell I was wearing it (apart from that my skin looked nicer). Would really recommend it, smells good, and didn't make me break out even though I have sensitive skin. My skin is combination, it did not show my dry skin and it wasn't too shiny so I didn't use powder with it. Made me look healthy and flawless... Will definitely buy again!!

Terrible- the WORST foundation I have ever purchased. It was very runny, but deceiving, as when applied to the skin it gave a very cakey look, terrible at covering acne ( don't be fooled by the 1,2,3 nonsense on the front!) It only lasted for an hour on my skin. The only plus side was that it smelt delicious, however the product felt bad on my skin & irritated it (possibly a result of the fragrance?) It matched my skin tone, yet made me look washed out & yellow; this cost me £10, there are far better foundations out there for under £5! Will never purchase again.

I love this stuff. I have this in shade #52 vanilla. It gives medium coverage and blend like my second skin. I love the smell, it smells like vanilla. The oil control is nice, but things I hate from this foundation, it's oxidize after few hours. It doesn't break me out, that makes me often use this product because most of foundations I've tried made me break out.

Not a happy choice for me. I was looking for a long lasting, mattifying foundation, with a good coverage. I was convinced by the great reviews and my love for Bourjois to try this foundation (last summer I used the "healthy mix" one and I loved it, but for winter I was looking for something with a better coverage for my combined skin). My experience with 123:
Colour - small range of colors. I usually go for the light beige and I did the same this time. Looks good after applying but after some minutes my skin starts having a very yellowish tint.
Lasting - it does not lost long on my skin. In the evening there's almost nothing left on my face. It mattifies my skin but not for long. A good powder, however, keeps this under control.
Coverage -good coverage when applied, but as I said already, does not last for long on the skin.
All in all, I'm not happy with my choice..biggest disappointment from Bourjois so far!

I wanted to love this foundation so bad, especially as shade 51 is a perfect match for me.
With a little help of a lovely lady in store I got matched up and loved the tester so brought two bottles as on offer.
In the comfort of my own home I discovered I probably shouldn't have got two. This product clings to my dry patches, even areas I wouldn't consider having dry skin. It makes me look flakey up close.
From a far though my skin does look better, but I won't be buying this product again :(

I still don't get how I am the minority who likes this foundation. It's marvelous! I've been wearing it from 1.30 pm up till 00.00 am and it still looked perfect! In the meantime I have blotted only once, but should have blotted it twice (1st time around 5 pm; the 2nd time should have been at 9 pm). It's so easy to spread, covers all my flaws (redness, large pores) - makes my skin look so nicer and prettier! The coverage is the perfect for day-to-night, it is super pigmented and sets to an un-sticky base: there's no need to use a setting powder. It didn't cause any breakout, didn't clog my pores (which ARE prone: BB Skin clogs them after >4hr of continuous wear), doesn't dehydrate my skin and doesn't settle into fine lines (eye area). I so highly recommend it to those with oily and combination flaky or not pimple free skin! Try it - it's worth it!
And it's the best match I have ever had in a foundation. Perfect balance: it's a neutral which leans on the yellowish side (shade 51) and has no orange tint in it - which is seldom found in yellow foundations (think of MAC or BB).
I know it's too early to write review, because I've been wearing it for the past 4 hours, but I'm impressed with it and want to share my experience with you. FYI I have oily, sensitive, acne prone skin with acne scarring and dry bits on on my right cheek). I'm pretty pale, with slightly yellow undertone. Neutral, but leaning yellow. From 1 to 5, 1 being the lightest, I would be 1.5.
For one year I have been trying, testing and buying high end foundations. I'm not a snob and I don't waste money on high end stuff, but I just couldn't find the right foundation in the drugstore range. Either they've been too beige, too orange or too dark, the staying power was too short: they would break into patches or fade too soon.... So I decided to go HE.
I've tried and had no luck with: illamasqua skin base (hard to blend, 06 wasn't the best match in undertone, stayed put only for 2-3 hours and then slid off and broke into patches), mac matchaster (1.5 it's way too orange, great oil control & staying power, everything's perfect but the color; in other mac foundations I couldn't find my match), MUFE HD (120, though there's NO oil control, it stays put for a long time before it starts to fade. i like this one. it's my transition shade for summer/winter), nars sheer glow (it didn't say long on me), mufe velvet (too drying and hard to blend), chanel vitalumiere aqua and perfection lumiere (b10, horrible staying power, became patchy in just 3 hrs and then i had to take them off, just like with the skin base), guerlain parure extreme (02 beige clair, wrong color match), and lastly, bobbi brown skin (02 sand, slightly too orange-y, sheerer coverage, average, brilliant staying power with a primer and sexy mama, emphasizes dryness on my right cheek).
i bought 123 pf in 51 on a whim - I really don't know why I bought it. I bought it in the lightest color they sell in Croatia. every other Bourjois foundation starts with the shade 52 and this one was the only foundation in 51. When I came home I searched reviews, and learned it oxidizes orange pretty bad. I was afraid of using it so it took me 5 days to try it out. Today I got mad with Bobbi's foundation because it made my right cheek look worse (it looked cake-y and dry) that I removed my whole make up. I opened 123 PF furiously, and thought: make it or break it. I used my RT expert brush and started applying the foundation. I was surprised by how good the color looked, how effortlessly was it to apply and buff, how nicely it covered my blemishes and how natural it looked in the end. I've set it with Sexy Mama and called it a day.
It dried rather matte and provides an even, medium coverage. Perfect for everyday use. The color is neutral, definitely warm, slightly yellow. Very good color match for me, anyway. I'm a self proclaimed MUFE 117, MAC C1 & NC15 ; a proven BB 02. Those with normal skin can skip the powdering part.
After 4 hours: still looks as nice as upon application. It may have oxidized but not enough to be noticeable, anyway. And it didn't oxidized orange! On my hand, it really does oxidize orange. How it can't be noticed on my face, I don't know. This is one of the best foundations I've used; this and the MUFE HD one. I would give my vote to MAC's Matchmaster, too, but it's way too orange and really unnatural.
After 7 hours: faded a bit but nothing a fast touch up with a pressed powder can't repair. It could have gone for two more hours, I'm sure, and it would still look nice and appropriate.
To conclude: you really don't need to go high end. The quality doesn't justify the price. In my case, anyway. If it stays put for 5 more hours, and starts to fade after 6,7 hours of wear time and doesn't become patchy on the way. this is going to be my HG winter (7-15 celsius) foundation (if I'm lucky, my all year around HG!).
I've tried Bourjois Flower Perfection 52 - too beige, darker and too matte, that it looks flat; and Healthy Mix Serum 53 - summer color, but it's too sheer and dewy, and doesn't last enough on me, couple of hours or so. As I wasn't happy with those two I went HE.
after 2 weeks of using it I'm still loving the foundation. It gives a medium but natural coverage, conceals everything and stays put for as long as I need it. It didn't cause clogged pores or any breakout. And it matches me pretty decent, maybe the best color match I have ever had. I use only 1-1,5 pumps per application.

That said, I also had a little episode (popped the front tire - deep in the middle of the woods) where I came to the realization that having a good tool kit on board is a must. Hence this post...
So in addition to being a total NUBE in the dirt, I'm also somewhat of a novice when it comes to working on bikes... and while I know the OEM kit is mostly useless, I thought a thread to discuss what people are throwing in their 610 tool kit would be fun (as it's highly personal..)
So far I've heard everything from a packet of vasilene, ty wraps, a small can of WD40, 30' of small diameter rope, A GREAT MULTITOOL, headlamp, the right allen wrench, wrenches for key bolts, spare tube/tire iron/inflator.......
Thanks for your input, hopefully your suggestions won't be needed - but if they are know that I'll be thanking you from some remote trail w/ less than an hour of daylight many miles from the trailhead..
Well, this topic may generate "advice" as what tire or what oil. Anyway, here's my thinking about "kit".
If I'll be alone, water, basic food & clothing for a long walk or overnight are first priorities. Then I think about current bike condition and recent maintenance. For instance if the clutch cable is getting old? Thread a new one along the frame. If you just worked on engine or removed body parts, better take some Locktite 243 and enough tools to snug up anything that gets loose. New chain? throw in a couple master links (2 cause they're small and easy to lose parts in mud) You get the idea.
Don't trash the entire stock kit! That axle wrench, spark plug wrench, etc. are fine AND COMPACT for trail use. Just add to them. I've thrown in quality 1/4" drive socket wrench, 6 point sockets in 8,10,12mm plus 1/4 to 3/8" drive adapter with 13, 14mm sockets, and a short handle socket wrench. Locking jaw plier, open/box end wrenches in 8,10,12, and I think a 6mm (throttle cable). Also a 6" bit driver extension, and the following bits: allen 4,5,6,7 & 8mm, phillips #2 & #3 slotted (couple different). Quality replacements for the three stock allen wrenches. There are about two feet of duct tape wrapped around the spark plug socket. This is all double bagged in quart size freezer grade ziplock bags. That rounds out the "tool kit" that is ALWAYS on the bike. The socket numbers were from memory since I'm at the office now, but walk through a tire change, oil change, cable adjustment and you'll be able to reconfirm them or PM me, and I'll go through it. Remember, it's not just the size wrenches, but the style, open/box/socket that you need to confirm. You may not have clearance for a socket on every 10mm nut you'll need to adjust.
Elsewhere I carry these:
Tire repair items- A patch kit, 2 short tire spoons and an elec pump (Slime brand $14 from Walmart) I ran 12v marine grade cig lighter plug soon as I bought the bike, and often tweak tire pressures just to see the difference.
Bungee Net- the small motorcycle kind, short ball end bungee loops and 8-20' real 550 cord (the kind you can strip for the internal strands)
Nav and Coms- Cell Phone and charger (forest service maps are also damned handy)
Where does it go? You could put it under the seat and in various pockets of your riding gear, but a a friend and former South African desert racer told me this, "Don't put anything in your pockets that you are not willing to have surgically removed."
I still get shivers thinking about that one. I've got a small tailpack on the rear rack that easily holds this, and am considering a front fender pack for the tire stuff.
