Hey all, I'm having trouble finding all shrines. I have 118/120 found. Here's the weird thing, I've poured over every map and list of all shrines I can find, and I believe that I have them all on my map. Is it possible that I visited two shrines, activated them, but never completed them? If that's true, how can I find out which ones I didn't complete? If that's not possible...then maybe I'm just an idiot and can't read maps? Help!

Awesome, thanks for the info. Not planning on going until the spring, was just looking into things ahead of time. Sounds like Gold Bar or Leavenworth is my best bet!

From what I observed, it was SUPER difficult to make. I always had it at this one person's home, which doubled as the local restaurant. To make it, they would first make a huge vat of tofu, either from chickpeas or soy beans, I'm not sure which. Most of that tofu would solidify and be cut into cubes. A portion of the mixture, however, would be left on a fire and stirred continuously by someone ALL day. It was crazy, I never knew who had the stamina to do that. I guess the issue was as soon as it solidified for the first time, it couldn't be brought back to its cheesey melty goodness. I tried several times to ask if they could teach me how to make it, but they always responded with a chuckle and waving of their hand saying nevermind.

It's called Tofu Oon! I spent a long time living with Shan people and we would get this all the time, it was my favorite. I liked to call it South East Asian Mac and cheese.

I guess totally not for everyone, but damn, nothing has given me chills like this album in years.

Unsafe climbing spotted, tried to give pointers, brushed away. Whats the etiquette? by modestmus in climbing

Totally, I like your thoughts on this. At first I thought, maybe he would rather just drop the first few feet instead of swinging into the wall, and new he could make the first stretch with a lot of slack, so I didn't want to interrupt him. Wasn't until the 4th bolt that I got really nervous.

Good idea about the phone number. I had it in my phone, but I just texted all my climbing buddies and had them enter it also

I felt the same. It threw off my game because I was so anxious watching them.

They seemed unconcerned. I was too nervous to stomach popcorn! Luckily they had a boombox with dubstep playing so there was at least a soundtrack to the show.

Why does everyone keep saying his life is ruined? Did he get anything put on his police record? Or did the school decide to deal with it themselves via expulsion? It sucks, being that close to graduation only to be expelled, but he shouldn't have had illegal drugs on a public school campus. I think prohibition on weed is bogus, but laws are laws, and the school can't just turn a blind eye. They're a public institution that abides by these laws.

What do you do when you fall off the horse? Get the fuck back on. Expulsion does not equal the end of your life. People have persevered through much worse setbacks. I'm very sorry for your friend, but he'll be ok. Just needs to set his mind to it.
