Jets' clique too soft on themselves
Call these 5 key players the 'Atlanta Association'
Until someone is willing to break from the clique and demand more from his peers, the Winnipeg Jets will continue to be losers.
The current leadership group has allowed itself to stagnate. To hover around .500 and to accept mediocrity.
We've seen it this week, with the Jets supplying a superior effort in a win over the New York Rangers and then playing soft, uninspired hockey in a loss to the dreadful Florida Panthers. They know they are better than their record but they're unwilling to push one another to the next level. They're a comfortable little club and they're going nowhere.
Effective leaders don't stand idle when their peers are inconsistent. Players can demand more from one another in the most effective of ways. In three years we have not seen this from the Winnipeg Jets core leadership group.
Guys like Olli Jokinen and Mark Stuart know the right way and it's great when they voice their opinion, but if there's to be change, it must come from higher up.
There is a hierarchy in the Jets dressing room and at the top is a group of players who bonded together in Atlanta. Those friendships are taking precedence over results and they are rotting away any chance of success for the Jets.
Andrew Ladd, Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Toby Enstrom and Dustin Byfuglien. All talented, all well-paid and secure. And all at the top of an underachieving team.
About five years ago, the Toronto Maple Leafs had "The Muskoka 5," a group of players that held their inner sanctum's interests above those of the team. That group was comprised of five key players: captain Matts Sundin, Darcy Tucker, Bryan McCabe, Thomas Kaberle and Pavel Kubina. "Muskoka 5" implied these players were comfortable merely playing out the season and spending the summers in lake country.
Here in Winnipeg, we have the Atlanta Association. A clubby set where calling one another out is forbidden.
Don't tell me Ladd can't see the difference in the work ethic and will to win between this group and those he won Stanley Cups with in Carolina and Chicago. Ladd is both perceptive and a player, who for the most part, personifies the characteristics required to win. He works hard at practice, goes to the tough areas on the ice and is willing to put his body into the action. Maybe he has his off nights, but if the Jets had 10 Andrew Ladds they'd be a playoff team.
And I don't think Ladd is a bad captain. But I have to question whether he's the right man for this situation.
Ladd isn't the problem. But he hasn't been able to effect a solution. Given a couple of veterans who could demand respect in the room and push for change, Ladd might succeed.
But his support group isn't helping him. They don't have the personalities for it and it's not going to change.
Good people? Sure. But leaders? The type to stand up and tell his best friend he's not getting it done? Nope.
Last season, Winnipeg fans watched Byfuglien's weight balloon before their very eyes. It wasn't until coach Claude Noel yanked GM Kevin Cheveldayoff into the fray anything changed. The players just repeated their mantra of what a "special talent" Byfgulien is.
This year, it's Wheeler playing like a point guard and firing up one three-pointer after another. The crease? That's something in Wheeler's pants, not an area on the ice with which he's familiar.
Byfuglien has for the most part eliminated the fitness issues, but still plays the game like he's on a pond in his native Minnesota. Is Byfuglien an all-star this season? Most likely. But the defensive lapses will prevent him from achieving Norris Trophy consideration.
Coaches have been nudging Byfuglien in the right direction his entire career, and he's made strides. But what would a push from a teammate do for him? Sadly, we don't have that answer.
Wheeler has all the talent to be a top-end player, but needs to be constantly pushed to perform like a big man and not a perimeter player. He's never going to be a banger or a fighter and that's not what anyone should expect.
Wheeler has to go to the net, however, and needs to be in the middle of the ice, fighting traffic. No doubt the coaches have told him this. But the difference between Perry Pearn showing him something on video and Ladd or Little leaning into his ear on the bench and setting him straight is vast. So too would be the results.
There's an old-school mentality missing from this group. The Chicago Blackhawks have it. So do the Boston Bruins. A group of players that demand the most from one another. By the time Hawks coach Joel Quenneville starts beefing about somebody's work, the player has already heard about it from the next stall.
Jacob Trouba has this steel, but at 19 and less than 20 games into his NHL career, it's a little early to expect him to stand up and force his teammates to be accountable. There will be an evolution in terms of leadership with the Jets, and Trouba will one day captain this team. He'll have the support of Zach Bogosian, and together they'll demand a higher, more consistent effort.
But it's not happening today. The results prove otherwise. The Jets don't expect one another to bring it each and every night.
Neither should you.

Amber Portwood is back in trouble with the law.
Radar Online reports that the 21-year-old of "Teen Mom" fame is back in jail after a judge ruled she violated her probation. (In June, she pleaded guilty to two counts of domestic battery after an August 2010 incident in which she was caught on camera assaulting her 3-year-old daughter Leah's father, Gary Shirley.)
VIDEO: Amber reveals her biggest sex mistake
The MTV reality star's brother, Shawn Portwood, tells Us Weekly that "probation officers visited [her] for a random drug test at her house and they found pills in her purse that she did not have a prescription for, even although she explained that they had previously been prescribed to her. In addition she missed a court hearing and that is why she was jailed this time around."
PHOTOS: Adorable snapshots of the 'Teen Mom' tots
The Madison County Sheriff's Department confirmed to E! News that Amber is indeed in their jail on a probation violation, and said it will be "up to the courts to decide" how long she remains there.

Shawn tells Us his sister "is distraught because she was planning to spend Christmas with her family and Gary was going to let her see Leah also."

I have been working at 24 Seven Talent full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
I am part of a great team, and proud to work in such a great environment, where we all sprint towards success. No place I have worked in the past is perfect, but so far, 24 Seven is the best place I have ever worked. At 24 Seven I feel like I am given all necessary tools and support needed to reach the company's goals, while also growing on both a professional and personal level.
In my position I have interacted with every employee at least once. When we first start we are given flowers, taken to lunch, and have a very comprehensive training. Once training is completed, you do not feel like you are on your own, but part of a team where the weakest link is the amount of hours in the day. On board, we all take advantage of nice perks like having a masseuse on premise, many company outings, and the great attitude of each employee. However, the greatest perk is to be working in such a great environment while growing with the company.
Throughout my career here, amounting in 3 years total, I can tell you that, in terms of day to day work, it is not easy. However, our passion and determination as a team allowed us to conquer our goals, and build on top of what made this company a leading entity in its field. Together, I feel like there is no challenge that cannot be overcome or a goal so high, that it cannot be surpassed. In three years working here, I have been continuously groomed to grow, my input has been valued, I grew as a person, and I was also promoted. I know I am a hard worker, and at 24 seven I have know first hand that hard work does pay off!Cons
No place is perfect, and 24 Seven is a growing company. One thing that I would consider a con, is the 'Bring Your Dog Friday'. Although personally I love dogs, It takes me from my work.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Beginner - math for alfalfa application?
We have issues that I tried to show below in the link.
Our story is the usual cliche:
Builder put sod on compacted clay without properly prepping the soil.
Grass in it's second season is patchy & yellowy.
We spend about $700 last year to get lawn chemically fertilized, aerated, overseeded, even got tested showing soil was in fine shape.
We didn't get results.
Read from dchall's post & Organic Lawn FAQ about laying down alfalfa pellets about 3-4 times a year.
This would magically amend the soil without compost, topsoil, tilling, digging, resodding = a lush green no chem lawn that will be healthy & require less care.
So I'm planning to get Logan Labs in OH to do an soil test of a mix sampling around my lawn.
I have about 16K sqft of land & ~10k sqft (~1/4 acre) of that is lawn area.
1) Trying to do the cost vs. benefits analysis - is this the right math for alfalfa application?
20lbs/1000 sq ft Alfafa pellets/meal spread rate.
50lbs bag = 2.5k sq ft *4 bags = 10K sq ft coverage for my yard
@$18/ bag locally * 4 = $72/application.
2) If I do 4 application a year, is that enough?
3) Or should I do 1 application per month? For how many months then? Is that overkill?
Here is a link that might be useful: My current lawn conditions

When placing organic matter, whether that is compost, Alfalfa meal, or something else, never spread it thicker then about 1/4 inch at any one time since more then that could smother the grass you are trying to grow.
Whether the Alfalfa will be of much benefit if the soil that is there does not have an active Soil Food Web is somewhat debatable.
Depending on where in the United States you are that lab may be an expensive alternative to your state university.
dchall and I have had this argument before. He feels that organic fertilizer is all you need, while I believe you need a combination of compost (to add microbes, worms, life) and organic fertilizer to feed microbes. Grains are very beneficial, but without soil that is teaming with life, it won't do much good.
The way to fix it is by adding a thin layer of compost (top-dressed) year after year. In addition, spraying your yard with compost tea will speed up that process even faster, as the microbes will get absorbed right down into the soil. Get a soil test, logan labs is good. Make sure you pay extra to have your organic matter levels tested. The most important things you will get from the test to start are Ph levels and Organic Matter. Compost is the great equalizer, so whether you have high ph or low ph, compost does an excellent job of getting it back in check, but if it's really low, you will need to add lyme and I think it's sulfer or something if it is too high (it's never high in new england)...
The soil test will give you a good benchmark for next year or the year after to retest. In the meantime, water 1 inch per week, mow high, get a weed hound to pop out weeds, and apply as much compost tea as you can. Also, starbux gives their used coffee ground away for free, this is a great source of OM... It can be a bit acidic, so it's best to throw it in a compost pile for a couple months to neutralize it.
Also, don't just go on cost per lb. Soybean meal for example is 7% nitrogen or about 3x as valuable as alfalfa... It's good to mix it up anyways, as each one has different benefits. If you want to go with a pre-mixed organic Ringer Brand is exception, although a bit expensive and hard to find.
Finally, that $700 you spent on synthetics would go a long way in organic lawn care. It's a little expensive up-front, but the difference is that you are improving the structure of your soil and lawn, so it only gets cheaper every year, as your lawn becomes an oasis for life. I think of synthetics like steroids... you look strong and healthy on the outside, but your insides are dying and the second you stop taking them, you body falls apart on the outside as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Organic Fertilizer Comparisons
Since Virginia Tech, through the Cooperative Extension Service, does soil testing and the horticultural agents would be more familiar with Virginia soils there is no reason to use Logan Labs in Ohio. Virginia Tech will most likely be less expensive as well.
Perhaps the above person recommending Logan Labs is a shill for that company since several posts made by that person has recommended them.
Thanks all for your recommendation & comments.
I know there are 2 schools of thought on here on how to amend soil for an organic lawn:
1) Feed/Grain organic fertilizer only (DCHALL)
2) Combo of organic ferts + compost+ soil (SC77 others)
For sure I want what is easiest,least expensive & works fastest.
I have not seen a decisive answer to that yet.
What your soil needs is organic matter. Soil is, if it is any good at all, composed of 92 to 95 percent of the mineral component, the sand, silt, and clay particles that make up most of soil and with some luck maybe the 5 to 8 percent organic matter that good soil should have. Why some people recommend adding more soil to what you already have is beyond comprehension.
What you use for organic matter, be it compost, shredded leaves, grains, as long as it will feed the Soil Food Web that feed the plants that are trying to grow it is okay, providing the Soil Food Web is active and can convert what you put down into what the plants can use.

Hmmm that sounds more in line with what I have read from DCHALL.
Question: Will putting down alfalfa - attract rabbits or other animals to my yard?
@kimmsr - also thanks for your suggestion to use the local VA Tech Cooperative Extension Services in my area.
They have neat program that sends a volunteer master gardener out to take a look @ my lawn, run a test sample & work out a customized program to remediate it.
I'm very excited about the hand holding aspects & the additional resources that the Coop offers.
All for the same cost as the Logan Labs.
The cost for the Logan Labs analysis is $25 per soil sample. That is really not much different in cost from the free VA program and you will get the results from a top notch service.
Alfalfa pellets are useful. They should not be the only component. Consider the soybean meal and also some Milorganite. The comment that the organics are only useful if there are microbes present is misleading, IMO. You have the microbes already, just not enough of them, possibly. If you feed them the population will increase within weeks. Over a couple of months (one growing season) you will observe a big difference in rate of decomposition of the organics. One thing for sure, if you don't feed them you won't have many. Increasing the population now will help with mulching the fall leaves and the currently generated clippings.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm sorry to say that I have to step aside as Chair of the RIPE anti-spam Working Group. The reasons are personal; I can no longer make available the resources to do the job properly. So, what happens next? We have to find a new chair, and volunteers are welcome. Anyone who is thinking of offering to take the job must understand that: + There is work to do, some easy and some difficult; + You should be willing to attend most RIPE meetings both in Amsterdam and elsewhere, at your own expense (or you may have a sympathetic employer or sponsor who will pay for it); + The RIPE Working Group Chairs have a few shared duties including agreeing the schedule for each RIPE meeting, finding speakers for the Plenary at each meeting and taking proposals through the Policy Development Process. + You have the support of RIPE NCC staff and facilities. The Working Group has a charter which lists the formal set of tasks for the group. We have not followed it exactly and it can be updated. In practice the Working Group needs to work out what it wants to do next, and to choose a chair who is willing to lead it so that the tasks are achieved. I included two separate items in the draft agenda where we can discuss those things, but I think we have to take them together. I will present some ideas about what the group might do, but the decision is not mine. I suggest that anyone who is interested should tell the list as soon as possible. It would obviously be convenient if we can get this sorted out this week in Tallinn, but it may take a little longer. If you want to talk to me first, you are welcome.

Jeff Norquist will oversee LA metro area.
Stay Green has promoted Jeff Norquist as the new operations manager for the Santa Clarita-based company's clients in the Los Angeles metro area, where he previously served as an account manager.

How long is long enough... to monitor for ranking changes?

When it comes to monitoring changes
How long do you guys give in Google SERPs?
For example,
you tweak a page for keywords and wait to see whether ot works or not in the results
do you wait a week / month / 90 days
before you conclude it worked or didnt work?
Thanks again

If you're only making on-site changes, two weeks seems like plenty of time to me. When you get into link building, the time scales involved can slide into a strange time dimension.

I find for changes that about 5-6 days after the page has been re-indexed, it will move if it is going to.

I get the feeling that some changes dont change the rank, some changes change the rank within about 2 weeks, but some...........hmmmmmmm I believe some changes dont take effect until some kind of special update runs - maybe 3 monthly or so. Im not sure about this last bit - because I sometimes also thing - damn - my domain has aged over a year now - this may be why it rose and not due to my changes.

I see my changes usually appear within a couple of weeks and so long as they are done correctly ranking improvements usually occur over the following 3-6 weeks.

Since this is on-site, I wanted to ask:
(1)For those of you who have added new pages to a website, recently, how long was it before you saw it in Google's index?
(2) Did changes in rankings that occurred by adding new pages to a website occur faster or slower than changes made to already existing pages?

You should see initial effects within hours, a day at the most. All first-order ranking will have taken hold within a week, certainly two.
Second-order effects (relating to you site profile/handprint/designation) will take place within 30 or 90 days. These tend to be dramatic, rather than incremental, and are best thought of as 'tipping points' or 'phase changes'. Normally a bunch of pages, or an entire domain, move around in SERPs after such an event. On large, mature sites, they are rare. On young, new sites, they are frequent and chaotic.

It will also depend on how frequently Google crawls the site and on top of that the static/dynamic status of a page. I reckon that largely static pages get crawled less frequently as time progresses.

Thank you Shaddows and Simsi. That was very informative.
The pages added were static, so I am thinking that it might take a little time for it to show in Google's index. I am going to see how long that takes and also when I see a change in the rankings.

It also matters whether Google has selected the query term as one that "deserves freshness". If so, changes will often be seen in a much shorter time frame.

I added a couple of pages to a site that I am working on and they have been indexed and also have a cache version but I have not seen a change in the rankings.
The older pages on the site don't have a cache date that is after I added the pages so when I look at them they don't show the additional pages added, and may not have the benefits of the new pages?
Have you guys seen on a site that is not very large that after new pages have been added, the cache version of many of the older pages have to be a date after the new pages were added in order to see the effect on rankings of the new pages?

The shortest time I've seen so far was a blog post that was indexed and ranking in four minutes, towards the end of June. I suspect that was one of those "deserve freshness" situations. Most of the other blog posts make it in within 1-2 hours. As far as new pages on a static (non-blog) site - I just tricked out a few sites with some new pages, and most had them indexed in one to two days, although they're not really ranking for anything anyone would search for as yet.
On a somewhat related note, I switched a couple of domains over from www to non-www, and I'm wondering how long it will take Google to reflect that. When I've done it previously, it's been all taken care of within 1-2 weeks, but I'm going on five or six weeks now. The www 301s to non-www, there's only a couple pages on each, and I went into GWT and added the non-www and changed the settings. Still nuttin'. And I know they've been crawled, cause they got a couple new pages in.

With the new pages added to the static site, do you feel that rankings for keywords that older pages are ranking for are going to go up and/or the new pages will rank for keywords that your site is not ranking for at the moment?
Are you waiting to see the effects of the new pages that you added?
Msg#: 4189058 posted

Well they weren't as important as the pages that were already ranking, so no, I don't expect them to overtake the existing pages (which are already up at the top for every logical search) I didn't add them for search purposes, I added them for user purposes, although I'll be interested to see what if anything bring in via search.

Just to note, cache can be several days behind verifiable ranking effect- weeks on occasion, but that indicates a problem somewhere (either you or Google).

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Sometimes I'll see titles, descriptions, and ranking changes that definitely come from the new version of the page within hours, even though the cache doesn't update for a few days.
Any ideas on how to tell whether the problem is on your end or Google's?
I've also noticed the phase-change type of effects you mention, and the question there is, how would you go about deliberately triggering such a shift for a mature site? I seem to be locked into one "designation" (I like that idea, it makes a lot of sense) and can't seem to move the needle despite significant changes in architecture etc.

Oh, and gouri, I just added a new section about a week ago. I've also made some significant changes to existing pages.
1) Indexed within a day, ranking within about three days.
2) Existing pages flickered in and out of ranking for new keywords for about a day, then stabilized the next day.
But here's the odd thing that I'm having trouble figuring out: new pages, even once they stabilize, don't rank as well as very similar older pages. I have a pretty good feel for my niche and what it takes to rank. New pages just don't do as well as it seems like they should, often for several months to a year.
Even stranger, old pages, when re-optimized for a new keyword, don't rank as well as they do for well-established keywords of similar difficulty (basically synonyms really) for which they already ranked.
I've been experimenting with this to see if I can figure out why it is. I wonder if it has to do with second-order effects such as Shaddows described. Maybe it takes up to several months for the site "fingerprint/designation" to be updated to include relevance for a new class of keywords.

The Manifold Composting Uses of Cattle Feeds
I love horse and cattle feeds! They have so many uses in my organic no-till gardens and lawn. I buy cheap 50 lb bags of the stuff. Sometimes I get the cheaper discounted ruined bags from the feed stores.
Check out my FAQ suggestions on the organic garden forum:
My uses of Cattle Feeds:
1. Compost Nitrogen Activator to make the compost pile hotter.
2. Soil amendment. Great for use under mulches for extra NPK.
3. Compost tea ingredient. Great nitrogen source for teas. Similar to alfalfa teas.
4. Great cheap cover crop seed source and fertilizer. I plan to sprinkle a lot of cattle feed on top of compost in my fall/winter cover crop beds to make the extra wheat and oat seeds
sprout with my other green manure seeds.
5. Attracts lots of beneficial soil organisms and birds. The birds fight pestsy bugs. The microbes help digest the organic matter in the soil, thus producing more available soluble nutrients for plants.
6. The molasses in sweet feeds is beneficial to breed beneficial microbes in the soil and in compost teas. Soil and compost microbes love carbon for energy (simple sugars contain lots of carbon).
7. The corn meal in cattle feeds is a great natural fungicide.
Heres something to think about CC
If you want some real bargans find a farmer to buy direct from at harvest. Oats, wheat, and corn are usually under $3.00 per bushel. Soybeans are around $5.00 per bushel. Ryegrass hay, the sudex hybrids, and oat hay are priced somewhere around $25.00 for a 1000 to 1500 pound roll. Often last years old half rotten hay can be gotten for just hauling it away. When corn is chopped for silage you could get a truck load from picking up the spillage. In fact there is often a lot of spillage of all types of crops at any transfer point from combine to truck.
You don't know any farmers? Ask your local county agent for likely prospects.

Couple who allegedly robbed bank with kids in car charged in federal court
SALT LAKE CITY — A Tooele couple who allegedly robbed a bank while their young children waited in a car outside were indicted Wednesday in federal court.
William Joseph Parker and Michelle Joyce Parker, both 27, were charged with three counts of bank robbery in connection with holdups in Magna, Murray and Tooele.
Michelle Parker entered the Wells Fargo Bank in Tooele on March 11 and gave the teller a note demanding money. Her husband waited outside in the car the with the couple's 5- and 2-year-old children, according to Tooele police.
An off-duty officer saw Michelle Parker hurry out of the bank and leave in a waiting car just before noon. He followed the vehicle and stopped the couple before receiving word of the robbery.
The Parkers were also charged with robbing Wells Fargo banks in Magna on Jan. 14 and in Murray on Feb. 5. They are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court on Thursday. They face up to 20 years in prison for each count.
The couple moved to Tooele in November. The children were taken into state custody, police said. Their maternal grandfather was working to have them released to him.

Newbie here, but I checked the FAQ and
I didn't see any mention of the dried roots that are attached to the bulb I bought. Can I cut them off so I can set it straight into the hole? It's a Siberica Blue, according to the box. Thanks
Yes to the extra space for the dried out roots. It's what I would do in hopes of success (bury the roots). Siberians aren't like some plants where you have to be careful not to cover the crown.
I would also find a location where it doesn't receive sun all day long. Houston's summers are probably very hot and few overcast days. The link says more.
Since the roots look totally dead there is no guarantee the plant will live. All you can do is plant it, thoroughly water it in, and continue to keep it moist. Give it a couple of months to see if it will revive. Good luck.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.socsib.org/ssicult.htm
when you cut something off a plant.. you are opening a wound ...
as compared to natures way.. of closing off an area.. and letting it rot away ...
just dig the hole you need.. to plant it .. properly.. according to the type it is ...and dont cut anything off ...

Kyle Richards, a California native, was born into an acting family in Hollywood, California.

Her other sister is Kathy Hilton, mother to Paris and Nicky Hilton. Kyle's television credits include Little House on The Prairie, Carter Country, Down To Earth and E.R. Her film credits include Halloween and The Watcher in the Woods. More recent acting credits include the Lifetime original movie, Deadly Sibling Rivalry, and a guest appearance on CSI and Days of Our Lives. Her husband, Mauricio Umansky, is one of the nation's top realtors and opened his own real estate business, The Agency, which has clients around the world. Kyle's own business, the high end boutique, Kyle by Alene Too, in the heart of Beverly Hills not only keeps her very busy, but has also been a very successful endeavor.

Bender Board
This may not be the appropriate forum. Does anyone have experience with bender board for making a curved barrier between grass and planting bed? I saw some gardeners using it at Monticello. It looked like it was plastic or fiberboard. I have a new landscape and am pulling out little pieces of grass, which are getting ahead of me even as I write this.
I don't know the phrase "bender board."
Do you mean plastic edging?If so, I've put some in with both the Hound Dog step 'n edger tool and the squat shovel-like edge hound tool.
The thing with the edge hound is you have to make sure the plastic edging you buy has that "V" groove at the bottom to slip the tool into to help push it down.

Any tips on removing stone tile backsplash?
We are planning a remodel of our kitchen counter top and backsplash. The kitchen currently has a travertine tile backsplash, which extends from the silestone counter top up to the bottom of the kitchen cabinets. Once a new granite countertop is installed, we will start on the backsplash. We would like to remove the old backsplash ourselves in order to save a few $$s, but want to be careful as to not destroy the underlying material, which I THINK is a layer of hardi-plank or cement board. The new backsplash will be of simple painted beadboard to compliment the style and period of this home. How difficult is this removal for DIY'rs to tackle? Any tips on how to proceed?
Gee, I wonder where YOU went to school [wink]...
Removing the stone isn't difficult, but whether the surface beneath is salvageable depends on what that surface is, what adhesive agent was used, and how good the stone was to start with. Travertine is going to have less integrity than [say] a porcelain tile, and is less likely to pop off in a single intact piece: more bashing, more potential for damage...
Start at an edge with a hammer and chisel, and see what happens.
If the underlayment is cement board and the stone was good quality [few fisures and inclusions], the stone may pop off relatively easily.
If they were set straight on drywall, the paper facing will probably pull away from the gyp board before the thinset lets go of the tile.
But I'm not sure its really worth the time and effort to try to salvage the underneath layer. Compared to the rest of the work you are talking about, a new layer of greenboard is no big deal. You may be able to remove the stone and leave a surface smooth enough to apply beadboard [which doesn't exactly require a flat surface], but for me, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
I agree...chip and gouge away, it's not worth the time and hassle you'll go thru to preserve the underlayment. It's really not that expensive to put down new greenboard.
Even though you'll be doing the labor to remove the travertine, think about your own time. How much do you make at your regular job per hour, multiply that out by the amount of time you'll be chipping away, and sometimes it's cheaper to just rip it out and pay someone to put in clean new underlayment.
Thanks oruboris and brunosonio! It sounds like you both believe that the removal of this backsplash is something that an amateur DIY'er like myself can attempt. I agree that attempts to preserve the underlayment may not be worth the effort.
Oruboris...not many of us MSU alumuni down here in Houston. Sure miss Montana!
I'd remove the backsplah PRIOR to the granite install.
I've done this with ceramic tile on sheetrock and while it was tedious, it does not require special skills.
As oruboris stated - try a hammer and chisel.
We ended up having to skim coat the drywall, which was by far the worst part of the job.
