i'm about to use some for an upstairs bathroom project and i could use some input. here is the scenario:
the current subfloor is 2 inch thick toungue and groove car decking sitiing on 4x8 inch fir beam stringers. while this car decking is the floor on the second level of the house, it's the ceiling on the first level of the house. i have concerns about applying thinset directly to the car decking, even though it is the subfloor. should i put down plywood over the car decking, apply thinset to that, then apply the hardibacker? fyi, we are putting down 11 inch porcelain tile on the hardibacker. also, hardibacker suggest 5/8 inch plywood, but if i put plywood over the car decking could i use plywood slightly thinner?
thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Yes, you should put down a sheet of 1/2" to 3/4" plywood (no CDX permitted)to eliminate the transer of lateral movement in the planks up through the Hardibacker and into the tile which will cause them to crack. Screw the ply to the planking then set the Hardi in a bed of thinset and anchor with galvanized roofing nails or backerboard screws. Fill the 1/8" gap in the plywood seams with a cheap latex caulk so thinset does not ooze down into the gap. Tape the hardi seams with fiberglass mesh tape and coat with modified thinset.

I purchased my first 6er of commerical stuff in a month on sunday. I'm loving this Sweetwater IPA. Anyone else gave it a try?
Haven't tried it but my parents were in Atlanta this past weekend and I had them buy me a 6 pack of it. I'll be tasting it in May when I go back to Illinois to visit. Is that the 420 IPA? or is the 420 just a regular pale ale?
"The ordinary world is only the foam on top of the real world." Tom Robbins (B is for Beer)
"It's a beautiful day for baseball. Let's play two." Ernie Banks
It is an awesome beer. I first had it when touring their brewery in Atlanta. I'm thinking of brewing up a clone.
Sweet Water IPA is it's own brew then there is the Sweet water 420.
They have others........ I have brewed a SW 420 & SW Blue and might do a SW IPA.
We can't get it here, but when I was vacationing in the Florida panhandle this winter, I saw it in Tallahassee, and bought some. I loved it so much I bought more and the pale ale, too. I definitely liked the IPA more than the pale ale.
I love the Sweetwater IPA. One of the few six packs I'd buy in AL. My second fav brew of theirs next to SW Happy Ending.
I have heard from several people that know Sweetwater very well that the IPA is 100% Simcoe... that should get you started I guess.

A BICYCLE RAFFLE...will be a part of the Frankenmuth American Legion Post #150's annual Easter Egg Hunt, set for 9-11am on Saturday, April 4. Showing off the bikes are Legion members and hunt organizers Dave Hoffman, left, and Art Diffin, right, along with Diffin's granddaughter, Mikayla Hoose, age 12. (News Photo)
Legion, Parks & Recreation partner for Easter Egg Hunt
The annual Easter Egg Hunt has been one of the Frankenmuth American Legion Post #150's longest-running community events.
Last spring, the members enhanced the event for the enjoyment of the children and their parents and the 2015 hunt is about to get bigger and better, with a nod to Frankenmuth's German heritage and traditions.
The post will conduct the Easter Egg Hunt, 9-11am on Saturday, April 4, in Heritage Park and the Harvey Kern Community Pavilion. The Legion is expecting 500-600 children, up to age 8.
In past years, the hunt was held at 10am, the actual 'hunt' lasting about one minute, followed by picking out prizes and candy at a long table set in front of the pavilion.
This year, the Frankenmuth Parks and Recreation Department is again assisting Legion Post #150. The hunt will include inflatable activities, including a bounce house, a visit by the Easter Bunny, dancing the bunny hop, face painting, prizes, candy and of course, the Easter egg hunt.
There are two new features for 2015.
First, Ronald McDonald will arrive at Heritage Park, along with the Easter Bunny, around 9:15am. The Frankenmuth Police Department's Humvee will escort them to the hunt.
The Legion will also conduct a bicycle raffle for the first time, thanks to McDonald's of Frankenmuth, with some assistance from the Meijer Store in Birch Run.
Six bikes will be included in the raffle, two for each age group, boys and girls. When the "hunters" arrive, a Legion member will hand them two tickets and stamp their hands. The children choose the bike of their choice, put one ticket in the Easter basket hanging on the handlebars, and keep the other for the drawing, which will take place at 10:30am.
Flyers will be sent out to area schools to promote the egg hunt. Infants through age 8 are allowed in the hunt.
"In the past, we put out 1,800 plastic eggs (across the Marv Herzog Fest Platz) and this year we should get an increased amount of kids," Easter Egg Hunt Chairman Dave Hoffman said. "We filled 3,200 eggs and we already have enough plastic eggs (for the future) to cover the increased number of kids."
A total of 75 Frankenmuth-area Girl Scouts gathered at the legion post home to fill the colorful eggs.
The legion has also increased its amount of candy and prizes. McDonald's of Frankenmuth will also provide refreshments. The Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Frankenmuth 7-Eleven are also event sponsors.
Hoffman has been assisted by fellow legionnaires Art Diffin, Mike Laux, Ralph Haubenstricker and Larry Henry.
This year, the legion members and parks and recreation staff will be doing the Frankenmuth Easter tradition of building a nest outside the pavilion with sticks and grass. Around the community, this was known as a "Hosa Gatla"
Frankenmuth Gemuetlichkeit Club members will be performing the calling of the Easter Bunny in German.
"The little children and their parents will be asked to find the eggs in the nest. Then the older kids will find the eggs in the same way as it has been done in the past, by three age groups," Hoffman explained. "I have five small Easter baskets made up. We will have five plastic eggs with a note inside telling them they won an Easter basket," Hoffman said.
The age groups are 0-3, 4-6 and 7-8.
Per the German tradition, children would go outside a few days before Easter or on Easter eve and call out (English translation): Come bunny, come bunny, come across the field, come running with your fastest speed, and bring along a large sack of eggs."
On Easter Saturday, families would build the Easter egg nest in the backyard. The nest was built with wooden sticks and had a narrow opening for the rabbit to enter and then a round circle. The nest would be lined with packing, such as fake grass. The entire nest was the shape of a traditional light bulb.
Early Easter morning, before the children rose for church, the eggs were placed in the nest. Candy and other items were left inside in an Easter basket.

Change Media Back
Update: Apparently we're no longer swiping to close photos and back to tapping again? Are you kidding me! Stop messing with the ux. I appreciate updates and improvements, but constantly changing how you control the apps functions once they are committed to muscle memory is a MAJOR annoyance!
The way the media is displayed in this latest version is terrible. Previously you had a nice overview of thumbnails you could easily scroll through and open what looked interesting to you. Now you have to go through EVERY SINGLE pic/vid. No one is going to do that. To the devs, please change this back, you had the right idea the first time.
Photo Sliding
I've noticed that the latest update has removed the users ability to slide a photo up or down to return the the timeline. I personally do not like that I have to tap it. It's much easier, and quicker to just slide it up or down. Please, if you could consider bringing back the swiping feature, it would make not only me, but many, many users happier! This is my only complaint, other than that I absolutely love the app. Thank you!
Now after the latest update, the accepting of friend request isn't working well. After I accept, it adds the number to followers list but when u click on it, the follower isn't there. When u go back to profile, the number of followers listed is the same number before accepting ppl. And the friend request thing shows up again to try and accept ppl or decline them. And I did it again over and over. But it still does the same thing. Unfollowing ppl works. I don't understand why the other thing doesn't after the update!!! 👿

Quotes (4)
Ricky: I'd take the baby, but...can I do that, legally? Amy: Yes, you can. Ben: But how's he gonna take care of the baby? Amy: Same way I was gonna take care of the baby. Drop out of school, get a job, and get daycare. Ricky: I'm not gonna do that. Amy: Really? What are you gonna do? Ben: Have you really thought this through? Amy: No. The idea just occurred to me, but I like it. This way, Ben and I can continue to be in the band and go to school dances, and do all the things normal high school students do, and go to college and have a career, while you raise your son. Ben: (to Ricky) Did you know? Ricky: No, I didn't know. A boy? Amy: Yes. So he's probably better off with you than me, anyway.
Amy: I am not feeling sorry for myself! I'm doing the responsible thing by trying to find two adults who can provide my baby with a stable home and a loving family! Ashley: If you had done the responsible thing six months ago...
Ricky: (about Amy) You're here against her wishes, aren't you? Ben: Yeah. And it's because I'm jealous of you. There. Ravel in it. Ricky: You're jealous of me? I've got news for you. I'm jealous of you, because you've got a choice. I don't. You don't have to stay around. You don't have to take care of the baby. You don't have to have these painful discussions with Amy, but I do, and my advice to you would be to get out. You're 15, Ben. This is your first girlfriend. You actually don't want to go out with any other girl for the rest of your life? And what happens if she breaks up with you for me or some other guy? I mean, after all, she didn't tell you we were getting together tonight. And you know, deep down inside, She's the one who called me. I didn't call her and ask her to come over here, just like I didn't ask her out for coffee at band camp. She asked me.
Amy: Ashley, what's your point? Ashley: My point is that I hope you don't make the same mistake twice. Not that you could, exactly. Amy: What is wrong with you? I'm not interested in Ricky! I don't want to talk to him. I have to talk to him. He has to go along with the adoption, or there's no sense in even interviewing couples. Ashley: And if he doesn't go along with it? Amy: Then I'll just drop out get a full-time, put the baby in daycare, and embrace teen motherhood. Sound good to you? Ashley: You're so dramatic. Amy: I'm pregnant. I'm 15! Ashley: Yeah, yeah. You're pregnant, and you're 15. You're not the only pregnant teenager in the world, so stop feeling so sorry for yourself.

Tripping on uneven floor tiles just installed - HELP!!!
I am almost shaking as I write this because my kitchen project is on hold until we get this problem resolved. My 94 year old mother-in-law lives with us and serving her regular, healthy meals is a real challenge without a kitchen. My husband and I are starting to get on each other's nerves and that's not like either of us.
I ordered 12" by 24" rectified floor tile for my kitchen remodel. I purchased a package deal from the cabinet company; I bought the cabinets and the installation from the same company. The general contracter on my job is a gool old guy, he's been in the remodeling business for over 30 years.
The installation of the rectified (very square edges) tile left a good deal of lippage between some of the tiles. One of these areas is directly in a walkway and I tripped on it and caught myself just before I fell. I only had socks on. In another are of the kitchen floor, my husband's shoe heel got caught on a tile. He stumbled. My GC said that's just the way it is and there was nothing he could do to fix it.
So I called in my beloved tile guy who has done lots of work for me and I've always been very happy. The only reason I didn't contract this work out to him in the first place was because I was given a 'package deal' from the cabinet company. Anyway, he came out today and said he couldn't even try to fix those areas because it would 'void' any claim I might make with the cabinet company. He said the installation of the floor was just awful and that's what happens when you hire a GC to specialized work. Danny only does tile installation and his work is impeccible.
He said this work would not meet code for the Ceramic Institution of America (or something like that). I stopped the job, the GC left in a bit of a huff (my husband helped to calm him down because, for me, I would have gone for his throat).
I called the Cabinet company to complain and the lady who sold me the cabinets said she's never had a complaint against Jim in over 30 years.
But here's the thing -- I can't have a floor that I trip on! And we have little grandchildren that visit and run through the house and I worry about them falling. I can't have that. Or how about when I go to sell the house and prospective buyers walk through the kitchen and trip on the floor? That's a lost sale for sure.
The cabinet company is contacting a guy named Bruce and he will come out to take a look at it when he gets a chance. So I sit and wait, I guess. With no kitchen. And I do want to celebrate our next wedding anniversary.
Please, can you give me some advice or direction? I am in tears over this. And I thought I was doing everything right this time around.
Look at this thread. I found it very helpful when installing the tile in our last house. If you need some more information, reach out to bill_v. See his comments in this thread.
Here is a link that might be useful: thread about this
It is not acceptable, if it is possible to repair a few tiles that are causing trouble then they can just bust out them and replace. You have to get them quite level in all four directions.
The whole floor may have to come up, it is hard to tell from those pictures. In my mind if it has to come up, it comes up at their cost, the tile be replaced at their cost and laid by your tile guy at your cost and the portion of the cost that you paid them to lay the floor deducted or refunded to you.
That first photo would be unacceptable even if the tile wasn't recified. You pay way too much money for that quality of work, I am DIYer and I lay tile better than that!
A 94 year old mother in law, and a tile kitchen floor?????
I sure hope you can keep her out of the kitchen even if you do get the tile "sorted out".
We recently went to visit a friend (of a friend) in Idaho.
He had recently split his head open on a tile floor (slate).
You may have got a "package" but sure not a "Deal"!
Install a wood floor and make your kitchen safe for "Everybody"!
We had tile, never again, went with wood and I would not trade for a tile floor if even the tile floor was ten times less money----You can't put a price tag on one's safety.
It doesn't even look like you actually got "Rectified Tile".
I took the time to look it up, and here is a description that I found on-line.
"The trend in flooring now is to use rectified tile, laid very close together, edge to edge with very tiny grout lines. Rectified tile has gone through an additional step during the manufacturing process to assure each tile is exactly the same size. Their calibration is exact. A tight grout joint can be run without driving the installer crazy."
Sorry bout your problem, but cut your "future potential Losses", (particularly safety losses), toss the tile in the trash and replace it with a wood floor!
You shouldn't have any lippage. But stone and rectified tile are harder to lay so you would expect to pay more for the installation (a correct installation, not what you got) than regular tile.
If I were in your shoes I would tear it out and have your tile guy re-do. It's not going to get any better, and while some things you can learn to live with, this probably isn't one of them.
I just remembered that I was in your shoes at one point. My travertine had a lot of lippage and I had the installer rip out the bad ones and redo. The company in charge sent in a better guy for the redo.
There are tons of elderly folks in Florida getting around just fine on tile floors.
That said, NO ONE is going to get around well on that floor! That's beyond minor lippage and full fledged out of whack. Stand firm that it be fixed.
Renovations are so hard. And I feel your pain on thinking you "did everything right" - a general contractor is supposed to have subs to do the specific jobs and it's clear this guy does not have a qualified tile setter on his team.
That is absolutely one of the worst tile floors I have ever seen. Completely unacceptable. If your GC can't see that, I would go over the rest of his work with a fine toothed comb. Part of the beauty of rectified tile is its uniformity. It needs to be torn out and re-installed at their expense. Wow, that's terrible work.
Get a TCNA inspector out to look at it and write you a report from a pro - it will carry more weight.
Gary - it is definitely rectified tile. You can tell in the first picture where the side and top of the tile are perfectly square with the little bevel on edge.
Rectified refers to how the tile is made, sides are cut not formed. Because it is so square and even, it can be laid with small grout lines but you can lay it with any width grout lines you like.
Sorry, but your floor looks like an amateur laid those tiles. I take that back. Most amateurs could probably do better than that. As a craftsman at my house said recently while correcting someone else's work, "I'm sorry but this is just pigish". I feel bad that you have to go through the hassle of getting it corrected but please know that lots of us GWers are out here to help you stand strong.
Thank you, one and all. I emailed my Kitchen Designer and included the link for this post so she will read it in the morning.
I really feel like I have no choice but to stand my ground and request a new installation of the floor at their cost. I can not live with an unsafe floor. Even though the contractor has been in the remodeling business for 30 years, this work is unacceptable and DANGEROUS.
As my husband says, photos do not lie.
Oh gosh, that's just terrible work. I'm so sorry.
At least it looks like they haven't grouted it yet, so it should be easier for them to rip it out and start over. With such a substandard installation, it's definitely up to the GC to make it right at his own cost, unfortunately for him. Ugh.
Hang tight! This too shall pass!
Reading the thread that beekeeperswife linked, it's clear that your GC's "tile guy" isn't a tile guy at all or he would know about large rectified tiles. So, yes, you will stand your ground because the current state of affairs is both wrong and dangerous. Don't apologize, just keep on point: it needs to be fixed. The fix needs to start at the beginning because what is there cannot be repaired.
As far as surviving the delay, take a big breath. This too shall pass and you'll have a finished kitchen (and a next anniversary). Think flexibility. Think Pollyanna. I say this as a person who's getting through a significant delay in getting our bedroom finished caused by - yes, termites! We had the house tented this week. What a pain.
Baby, hang tight and take a breath.
YOU are right, they are not.
I could give a horse's left, uh, hoof how long they claim to have been in the business. They subbed this out and they canNOT deny this.
Your fellow Jim is chomping at the bit NOT to say, "shudda been me."
My suggestion is to
1) hold firm. This is totally CRAP.
2) demand all tile be replaced, not popped & reinstalled in places.
3) that they pay JIM to do it, not one of "theirs" (obviously that's a mistake).
4) understand that that "huff" was the GC not able to argue with you: you were so undeniably right.
5) demand rectified tile, not bathroom wannabe.
6) stop me.
7) and most importantly, DO NOT APOLOGIZE, even with a complaint. No, "I'm sorry, but..." YOU ARE NOT (did I mention NOT) wrong? Give up any such of habit of speech.
8) It's ok to tell Jim you wish he'd been part of the package. It's OK to insist he be contracted by the GC to remove and replace this sh!tty tile job. At NO EXTRA COST TO YOU, right?
9) remember they SCREWED UP.
I"m sure by now you've take a breath and the shakes are abating. Now, hunker down and get mean. Sometimes it's OK to be mad when people are (forgive me, this is my STBX GC husband channeling:) peeing on you and telling you it's raining.
We're here with you, hunny bun. SCREW that.
(Damn I'm good with a few glasses of wine. Hold on. Gimme a steak knife. Brain surgery is in order. Hold still, I swear it won't hurt a bit. OH, it's a GC sterilization? Ohhh... gimme that butter knife. I swear...)
berardmr: I was about to write the same sentiments that CEFreeman just expressed. It is a total bummer that you have to go thru this at all !!
But dig your heels in, take heed, try and remain calm, and like #1) says HOLD FIRM.
You WILL get thru this experience and you will be stronger for it. There is power in numbers and I think the word is strong here at GW. We will support you thru this in any way we can.
When we built this house in 2005 my tile guys did a great job on the tile in the whole house. Plain old normal tile.
Then it came time for the master bathroom. They had never laid rectified tile. The son laid the tile too quickly and with a less than perfect subfloor. It was bad, like yours and had to be totally torn out. Lip page like that can not be repaired by replacing an occasional tile, because when you fix one tile is creates lip page somewhere else. At least that's what I was told.
I feel for you.
That looks horrible. Is the 12 x 24 tile laid out in a brick pattern? What does the manufacturer say about doing a brick pattern in that size? It is probably not recommended because you will get lippage. The lippage is unacceptable, just realize when you get it redone, you probably need to go with a different pattern, such as a 1/3 stagger.
Oh my gosh! What an awful job!! The good news is that it is so bad that your GC doesn't have a leg to stand (or trip!) on. You're totally in the right and this needs to be fixed. The company company you got this package deal from should be falling all over themselves apologizing and doing everything they can to make it right. You poor thing! Hang in there! You are in the right!
Terrible job!!
I've got 12x24 rectified going in right now in our master bath and theyre as smooth and perfect as if it were one solid sheet of material.
The tile layer is taking forever to do it but that's part of doing good work! One whole day was distract and layout. We're on day two of laying and still not finished.
Rectified and tight joints take time as you can't make up for discrepancies with a sloping grout joint.
As Bee suggested, I emailed Bill Vincent (the resident GW tile expert). Here is his response. (phone# removed).
I concur with your tile guy. Nevermind tripping-- with an edge sticking up like what you show in the pic, someone could rip their foot open on the corner. It's WAY past TCNA (Tile Council of North America) specs, and you have every right to complain to whomever you write the checks to, and that crap nees to roll downhill until it hits the people responsible. No matter what-- that's inacceptable. If someone doesn't like what I'm saying, they can talk to me about it. (***) ***-**** during working hours.
You poor thing. Incompetence is getting to be the norm followed by major hassle and upset. People have no pride of skill anymore it seems or honor! Has the contracting company seen these pictures? Oh my dear...big ((((hugs))))
I will be thinking of you sweet one and will say a little prayer for you, your MIL and husband, too.
I concur with everyone elses posts. That tile job is a travesty and your GC should be ashamed to have his name associated with that work.
I would also threaten to contact your local Better Business Bureau with your complaint. I have found that to be a great bargaining tool in the past.
Good luck to you.
Your gc has no clue how to fix the bad tile job. You might end up in court over this for damages for safety issues and substandard work. He nver leveled the floor properly before he started to lay the tile. He cut corners to make the job go fast.
Try t o complain to consumer affairs . They hold his license. You want damages to hire someone else to redo the dangerous job he stuck you with.
This is a true story, I kid you not!
In the home we built in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, our original tile guy was an out of work bull rider. Yep, sure was! His job looked like it too. Our floor looked like yours and I did trip on it. The builder used a jack hammer to remove the floor and we contracted with an outside tile company to come in to do it again. Second time, smooth and beautiful.
Stick to your guns and make sure its done right!
What I wanted to do is order the replacement tile today. If this company paid for the replacement tile and my tile guy's labor to tear down and reinstall, I would release the company of all liability for the floor.
But this company wants to send out the lead guy to take a look at it on Monday. The photos are apparently not enough. This pushes me back 4 more days before we can even begin to go in the direction of a resolution.
I can't believe this is happening. I need to dig out the wine, which is usually kept in my kitchen, but it's under a stack of something somewhere right now.
I agree, that installation looks terrible. However, the second picture you posted hints at a ridge (high point) in the floor. That should have been addressed and fixed before install.
Don't bother looking for the wine. Go to the store and buy some more! Buy lots. My guess is you're going to need it.
Best of luck!
It does look like there's a bump running down the floor there!
And really? You packed the wine up for the remodel? You were once quite the optimist! :) Buy more. It keeps. Good luck. What a terrible thing to do to lovely tile.
Can you move ahead with the rest of the job while this is slowly fixed?
No, we are on hold until the floor is torn up and installed correctly. So the cabinets, appliances and everything else sit in the garage and wait. And we continue to live in chaos.
The saving grace is this work is not borderline sub-standard - it's a disaster. So it's pretty black and white as to the requirement to rip it out and do it properly. A rep from the company is coming out Monday to look at the install. I'll let you know what he says.
What would I do without this forum?
Subfloor was uneven...
Had similar problem with 25 yr old home we replaced vinyl and carpet in bathrooms and halls with larger format tile...
Had a good tile guy and instead of pouring a new layer of cement to level the areas, he just used more adhesive/mortar/ under tiles in that area... Took little longer but there is only 1 corner that is slight...and Imdo mean slightly...uneven...
Where were you when they were laying these tiles out...my guy did a dry run to check best place to make cuts and check how he wanted to lay it and could tell bynhowmthe squares would not lie level there were problems...so I knew ahead of the actual tile installation there was problem with levelness...we just did not want to pay for that extra leveling if he could do it without...to save money...
Original builder didn't care because carpet and vinyl are much more forgiving and resilient floor coverings than large format tile...
Loves2read, Oh my gosh, your post got me thinking....the GC laid another layer of plywood over the existing plywood because, according to him, the original plywood was glued down. In the photo here, you can see the glue from the original flooring. The GC did not try to remove the glue. No surprise if the under floor is uneven. How could you get a flat surface when you tile over this? Not to mention, there's a big drop going onto the hardwood floor because the kitchen tile is so high.
My tile guy said he can fix this too.
One of the few things my STBX GC husband did well, and for which I'm forever happy, is that we have no thresholds.
Our tile abuts the hard wood PERFECTLY. You can put a level on it. He took the floor down to the very basic sub floor, in some places replacing it due to fire damage. The subsequent hard wood and tile were laid with the correct underlayments that would permit a prefect join.
None of those awful transitions here, thank GOD and my STBX. So it is possible not to have to deal with that.

OPINION: Port Taranaki's owners and managers have been given a clear message: leave Ngamotu Beach and the lee breakwater alone.
Readers were surprised and horrified to learn that the port bosses were considering new security measures that might impact on public access to the two popular New Plymouth spots.
The measures are being worked on in response to last year's dramatic security breach by celebrity activist Lucy Lawless and her Greenpeace colleagues, for which they were sentenced last week.
But many readers believe the port may be over-reacting. There were more than 1100 responses to a Taranaki Daily News online poll that asked whether the port should be able to restrict access to the beach and breakwater.
More than 80 per cent said no, that would be a step too far. Just 17 per cent of respondents felt it would be a sensible decision to protect trade.

Kanye West Pays Tribute To Amy Winehouse
Kanye West is a very busy man lately with the successful release of 'Watch The Throne' and the impending tour, you would think he wouldn't have much time to do anything else.
Kanye has found some time in his schedule lately though to put together a remix of 'Back To Black' by Amy Winehouse. This is not the first time Kanye has taken a moment of time to honor Winehouse. The first came shortly after her death when he performed at Britian's Big Chill Festival. Check out the video of that performance, and what Kanye had to say about the new remix.

Comments about quiksilver Typo T-Shirt:
It's a good t-shirt. I like the cotten/polyester blend t-shirts the most, but even the 100% cotten quiksilver shirts (like this one) tend to hold up well and keep their shape, unlike like a lot of cheaper brands.
Sign up for quiksilver's email newsletter. Normally their stuff is way too pricey for me, but they have some amazing deals 4-5 ish times a year. I would never spend $20+ on a t-shirt, but if you wait for the deals you can get them (and nearly everything else on their site) for some pretty ridiculously good prices.

David Cameron is ready to rip into the EU... in 2015
Hours before the House of Commons vote on the EU budget, David Cameron met his party's most senior backbencher, Graham Brady.
By this point, Downing Street knew that the numbers weren't good. A combination of Tory rebels and Labour MPs looked set to defeat the Government.
Brady, who was elected to be chairman of the 1922 Committee by his fellow Tory MPs shortly after Cameron became Prime Minister, urged the Prime Minister to pull the vote. The former Europe spokesman for the party warned that if Cameron pressed on the Government would lose and the splits in the Tory Party would widen.
Prime Minister David Cameron talks with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt (left) during the EU Summit in Brussels
Cameron, however, was determined to continue. The result was 53 of his MPs rebelling and a Government defeat by 13 votes.
The Prime Minister's attitude to this rebellion has puzzled even his allies. He has seemed oddly prepared to have his party pull itself apart over a vote that, frankly, didn't matter.
Colleagues seemed more attuned to the damage another Euro split would do to the Tories. Chancellor George Osborne, the Prime Minister's closest adviser, put out feelers to the rebels to see if a confrontation could be averted. In the Commons, Ministers were blaming Cameron himself for the poor handling of the issue.

Part of the problem is the subject. There is something about Europe that makes the Tory Party go slightly mad. There are plenty more tricky moments on this topic to come. One Minister remarks that this defeat is 'not even the end of the beginning'.
Much will turn on a speech Cameron is set to give in the coming weeks setting out his European policy. The precise date for this address has not yet been set. But it'll happen sometime after the EU summit on November 22 and before the Christmas holidays.
This speech is Cameron's last decent chance to persuade his party to be patient, to give him the time he believes he needs to renegotiate the terms of this country's EU membership. In it, Cameron plans to promise that if re-elected he would bring home a new deal for Britain and then put it to the people in a vote.
Cameron has two problems, though. First, he can't do much before the next Election. Nick Clegg made clear this week he has no truck with negotiating membership-lite for Britain. This intervention angered Eurosceptic Tories. One complains: 'Clegg's speech was provocative. It makes me think this won't last to 2015.'
Second, what Cameron thinks of as a satisfactory deal and what his party would accept might not coincide. Privately, he has indicated he thinks proposals by the Fresh Start Group of Tory MPs to repatriate powers in 12 areas are unrealistic. But most in the party would consider this extensive renegotiation to be necessary.
A poll conducted by The People's Pledge – a group campaigning for an in/out vote on EU membership – shows the challenge that Cameron faces.
In Corby, a seat the Tories will be defending in a by-election in under a fortnight, 37 per cent of the party's voters would 'seriously consider' voting for another party at the next Election if the Tories aren't offering a referendum on Europe. In the Prime Minister's own constituency of Witney, 53 per cent of Tory voters don't think there's any point in a referendum that doesn't offer the option of leaving the EU entirely.
However, some of those close to Cameron argue that once the constraints of Coalition are off, the level of his Euroscepticism will end up surprising us. A Minister who knows him well says: 'We have become more Eurosceptic in Government.' Every day Cameron and co confront the problems thrown up by the current terms of Britain's EU membership.
What's certain is that if Europe is not to consume the Tory Party again, Cameron will need to show his MPs that he has a credible plan to bring a whole host of powers back from Brussels. Without that, the rebellions will just become larger and more frequent.
Will the living wage pay off for Ed?
Tomorrow, Boris Johnson will announce the new rate for the living wage in London. The Mayor of London is a convert to the idea of a basic salary above the minimum wage – the current London living wage is £8.30 an hour compared with the minimum wage's £6.19 – to ensure those in low-paid jobs are not in poverty.
The idea's biggest advocate on the national stage is Ed Miliband. The Labour leader will show his support for the living wage in a speech tomorrow to a group of Labour councils that pay it to all employees. Miliband is examining options to promote its use in the private sector. One is for the Government to choose firms that pay it when buying goods and services. Another is to make companies reveal what percentage of their workforce is paid less than the living wage.
Firms that pay the living wage save the State money in tax credits and welfare payments. Many of those around Miliband think this should be reflected in lower business rates.
For Miliband, these plans are crucial to his effort to show how a Labour Government could make the low-paid better off without spending more money. But to persuade voters, he'll need a large number of firms to commit to the idea.
PM finds a fan in King of the Kop Kenny
Prime Minister David Cameron meets Kop king Kenny Dalglish
It is an unlikely pairing: the Prime Minister David Cameron and the King of the Kop Kenny Dalglish.
But at the Pride of Britain Awards, the two men had a significant conversation.
Dalglish, Liverpool manager at the time of the Hillsborough disaster, wanted to thank the Prime Minister for his apology on behalf of the Government for what went wrong that day and the subsequent cover-up.
It's easy to dismiss Prime Ministers saying sorry for things they had nothing to do with.
But Dalglish's reaction to Cameron's speech is a reminder of the importance to those involved of setting the record straight, even if it is a long time after the event.
The Tories and Liberal Democrats have begun negotiations on the next big announcement of economic policy, the Autumn Statement on December 5.
The Coalition's decision-making quad – Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander – held its first meeting on it a few days ago.
I understand Cameron and Osborne are pushing for further cuts to welfare and continuing the council-tax freeze. However, at a recent meeting of Clegg and his key Ministers, the Liberal Democrats reaffirmed that they wouldn't sign up for the £10 billion of welfare cuts the Tories want without a significant new tax on the wealthy.
Tory Cabinet Ministers expect the Autumn Statement to be a limited affair. A Minister working with the Treasury on ideas for it says: 'The overall atmosphere is cautious.'
Politically, the Autumn Statement will be judged by what it does about the cost of living. Scrapping January's planned 3p rise in fuel duty is the best way to offer meaningful help on that front.

I am so sorry that you cant spend v-day with your BF because you are long distance relationship If I were in a relationship and I moved away or my BF moved away without any warnings I would text him alot and do a live web chat face-to-face chat you know web cam. But if you guys can see each other only a few days of the month then you should try to date a different guy and see how it works. If it dont work the go back to your old BF.
