TROPHY CASE

Any bellydancers in Portland? by _lastly_in Portland

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

I regularly attend Ashley Lopez's Tue. night tribal fusion class at Datura. 7pm is a drills and combos class, it is fast-paced and awesome. 8pm is an intermediate class with more complex combos and moves. Both are amazing, because Ashely is a clear and concise teacher. I highly recommend it!

After trying a few other studios and teachers, I found Ashley to be the best, but that is just my opinion ;)

Datura is easy to get to, right on the 20 bus line and in close-in SE. If you go, I'd be great to meet you. My name is Celia (posting in my huband's reddit acct).

There are lots of good couchsurfers here, you'll find a ton.

Fat Chief and Cortana cosplay. by mistsofobscurityin gaming

Maybe their monitor resolution is skewed and everyone in the game looks fat. You never thought of that.

10 plants potted for $2.50. Tacky, yes. Hassle, yes. Effective: also yes. by Avalon1347in Frugal

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Water it every day and if it's hot twice a day. Those thing will cook.

Tigris, Ra, Medici, and Tikal are 99 cents on iOS right now by BlobMarleyin boardgames

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Some of these games need to get better graphics (Ra, Medici). I love all of these games, but their interfaces are clunky and I just can't get into them.

I just got Tigris & Euphrates though. Perhaps I just play ticket to ride and Carcassone too much and they skew my taste (because they're so good).

Oh shit, for some reason I marked D to A as V->I, which is really IV->I or I->V. All of those chords are in D major (and also b minor). Sorry. I don't know what i was thinking.

Is film school worth it? by headlessstarkin Filmmakers

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Go back to the homeland and get support for school. Nothing else makes sense.

Of anywhere in the US, why NC?

You'll probably get government money going to school in Canada, why not?

After years of my family telling me that mussels would be dirty and disgusting, I finally cooked some last weekend while everyone was gone, and they were awesome! by millerhighlifein Cooking

[–]Zalenka 0 points1 point ago

No, never cook ones that do not close initially. If you tap on the shell and it closes it's still alive and good to eat. If you tap the shell and there is no reaction and it is agape, then it is dead. Do not eat dead clams or mussels.

They will all open when cooked so that is a poor indicator. This fellow probably throws away 90% of his shellfish.

Rotel (diced tomatoes and chilis) works great too. It's a great gateway method to get people to try clams and mussels.

Perhaps you could explain what a cadence is for this fellow. That might clear up what you are trying to get across.

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Have you done any harmonic theory? Do you understand that there are 12 major keys? (let's ignore minor for now) I can explain some of it, but it goes into depth quickly. That said, they are simple concepts.

Generally:

The C Major Chord is C, E, G and the F Major chord is F,A, C. These chords exist in both C Major (notes: C,D,E,F,G,A,B) and F Major (F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E).

It sounds good because in the key of C it is IV -> I progression. Also called sub-dominant to tonic.

What's your big adventure for the summer? by Deliriouslyin CampingandHiking

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Local campsites probably, because all my money's going to plane tickets for more friends' weddings. Those Bastards.

What is your "never again" brand, item, store, or restaurant ? by radbrad7in AskReddit

[–]Zalenka 0 points1 point ago

LPL Financial. Don't even think of having them as your advisors. HUGE fees for everything.

Why do clients sometimes insist you own equipment? by LastBuffaloin videography

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

Ah, that makes a difference. Why not just build it in? Then you can give them a deal in the end!

At that point why not just say that yes, you can bring one of those cameras and just rent it without them knowing.

My string trio got the chance to play with this marvelous man. by OneCelloin Jazz

[–]Zalenka 6 points7 points ago

Cool, I'd love to have a listen to any of that if it's on youtube or his own website. Was it pre-existing music for other ensembles? (transcription) Or did he arrange the charts? I assume you played some jazz music in transcription form.

Why aren't more Women in(to) Jazz? by powderddin Jazz

It's something else. Jazz has many categories.

What did your charts look like? Was it just a quartet with him on trumpet? Did you join in with a larger combo?

Kids like it too!

[–]Zalenka 1 point2 points ago

It's not the best game, but Alibi is fun for that many people. It's a bit like Clue. Also San Juan or Keltis the card game would top on my list to bring.

Is France really hated in the USA ? by SThorin AskReddit

No. It was a media sensation for a moment.

Hey r/Portland: Who are you voting for in the mayoral race and why? by thedomilamain Portland

[–]Zalenka 3 points4 points ago

I voted for Steve Sung because I didn't get a good vibe from anyone else. He seems like a real person that actually could do some good.

I'm sure it will go to some slick-handed politician.

so how much longer until HDD prices have come back to pre-Thailand flood levels? by hardwarequestionsin hardware

[–]Zalenka -4 points-3 points ago

I suppose, but that is a couple hundred dollars of fluctuation. I get it. I'm sure it's a small item on your budget even with the price raising.
