A project to replace fareboxes with computerized units that read smart cards for the entire fleet of 400 Milwaukee County Transit System buses won't be finished until early 2014 - months later than expected, county officials were told Wednesday.

Court rejects $125,000 jury award over hair in food
Kevin Hansen couldn't eat the hairy steak he got from a West Bend restaurant in 2008, and now he won't be consuming the $125,000 a jury awarded him over the intentional food tampering either.

NEW ORLEANS -- An employee who was recently fired from a home for the elderly has filed for whistleblower protection, claiming she was let go after she raised concerns about the death of a resident last month.
Deleria Rancifer was fired from the Malta Park Assisted Living Center one week after she raised questions about how staff members handled the death of a 90-year-old resident in her room.
As required at all death scenes, police were called to the Uptown apartment complex after the Oct. 24 death and reported nothing out of the ordinary. But Rancifer gives a very different account, saying that the room was cleaned up before officers arrived.
Rancifer said she was told about the altered room by other employees.
"They had a broken cup on the floor. And the lamp was knocked over." Rancifer said. "She said, you know, I couldn't leave that like that. She said, 'We had to clean up before police got there.'"
It's against state law to alter the circumstances of a death, even one due to natural causes. Rancifer said that when employees told her about the room being cleaned up, she expressed concerns to her supervisor as well as her attorney.
"So I started putting it in writing. I put it on paper and let her know," Rancifer said.
Exactly one week later, Rancifer was terminated. She is now filing for whistleblower protection, a state law that protects employees who report wrongdoing.
"They figured I knew too much, because I had been reporting a lot of things going on to them. That's my job, to tell them when things aren't right," Rancifer said.
Rancifer's attorney, Claire Trimble, said the timing of Rancifer's dismissal raised a red flag.
"We believe her termination was specifically involved with her raising questions about the level of care," Trimble said. "We began an official inquiry both with the management of Malta Park and we copied the Department of Health and Hospitals."
Trimble said this wasn't the first time Rancifer voiced concerns to her bosses, a pattern of reporting that she believes establishes her client as a whistleblower.
"She's actually very clearly a whistleblower," Trimble said. "She reported violations to her supervisors in the past six and seven months."
The management of Malta Park and its attorneys strongly dispute the Rancifer's claims, saying she never expressed her concerns about the death. They say her termination was completely unrelated.
"She was terminated for cause and she was terminated for violation of company policy," said Malta Park attorney Evans Schmidt.
Schmidt was at the meeting in which Rancifer was fired. He said she didn't raise any complaints until after she was let go.
"She was not involved at all and or even present when we had a resident, a 90-year-old resident, who died in her sleep, peacefully. She never expressed any concerns about that matter to her employers or management here at Malta Park, so we categorically deny that," Schmidt said.
The circumstances of the death are currently being reviewed by the state Department of Health and Hospitals. Meanwhile, Rancifer's wrongful termination claim and Malta Park's counterclaims will have to be resolved in court.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – The year's biggest game lived up to its hype and then some. The SEC East will be decided this week, and the West could be won as well.
Here's a look at three games from Week 10 and what they mean going forward followed by a look at three big games from next week and the impact they will have.
Texas A&M has made quite a splash in its SEC debut. The main reason is Johnny Manziel, who threw for 311 yards (one more yard than Mississippi State's entire offense) and added 129 yards rushing on top of that.
Mississippi State has suffered two crushing losses on consecutive weeks after starting the season 7-0. This was an important game for the Bulldogs, but their loss coupled with Alabama's win over LSU has virtually eliminated them from SEC Championship Game contention.
There were concerns about Georgia having a letdown following its win over Florida, because it has been known to be flaky at times, but the Bulldogs look re-energized and more focused than ever to earn a berth in the championship game. One more win and they will do just that.
Ole Miss is one win away from being bowl eligible, though getting that win won't be easy. The Rebels (5-4, 2-3) haven't fared well against ranked teams, and they have two more left on the schedule in LSU and Mississippi State. Their best shot at bowl eligibility likely comes this week against Vanderbilt, but Vanderbilt has won three straight and is also one win away from bowl eligibility.
All eyes were on Baton Rouge not only for its famed post-sunset atmosphere but also for the third meeting of these teams in two years. The game lived up to its billing and produced a more exciting finish than the previous two, and one of those went to overtime.
The win gave Alabama two straight wins in the three games versus the Tigers and the team that was ranked No. 1 at kickoff also won its second of three. Location seems to be everything in the series as of late, and not how you might think. At Alabama last year, LSU won in overtime and Alabama won in Baton Rouge on Saturday and down the road in New Orleans for last year's national championship in January.
Alabama maintained its inside track to the SEC championship and is one win away from clinching a berth. LSU needs a lot of helpand now hopes for a BCS at-large bid, which the Tigers will also need help to earn.
Alabama would clinch the SEC West crown with a win, but the Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0) will have to stifle the conference's best offense to do it. The Aggies have the No. 4 scoring offense in the country, averaging 44 points per game, but they must face the only defense in the nation that holds opponents to a single-digit average.
Texas A&M harbors aspirations of playing for the conference championship as well, but even with a win over Alabama, the Aggies (7-2, 3-2) would need the Tide to lose to Auburn and have LSU lose another game. If Alabama were to lose, it could still win the West with a win over Auburn in two weeks.
Mississippi State's bowl position is dropping fast. The Bulldogs (7-2, 3-2) would be a candidate for the Cotton Bowl with a win over LSU, but be relegated to the Chick-Fil-A or Gator Bowl with a loss. LSU can't afford another loss or the Tigers (7-2, 3-2) would fall out of SEC title game contention and the BCS at-large race down to either the Cotton Bowl or Outback Bowl.
The numbers say that won't happen, especially if quarterback Zach Mettenberger continues his stellar play from the Alabama game. Mississippi State was gashed repeatedly by the running games of Texas A&M and Alabama, which are the top two in the SEC.
LSU's rushing attack is third in the conference, averaging 200 yards per game. Mississippi State's rushing defense is 11th in the conference, surrendering an average of 168 yards, and its passing defense surrenders an average of 10 yards more than LSU's offense has been averaging through the air.
At first glance, this may not seem like an important game, and the outcome shouldn't be in any doubt, but the winner of this game will decide who plays for the SEC championship.
If you like Georgia, cheer for Georgia, because a win clinches the SEC East for the Bulldogs (8-1, 6-1). If you like Florida, cheer for the Tigers (2-7, 0-6) because an Auburn win puts Florida in the championship game.
The evidence that Georgia will stamp its ticket to Atlanta is overwhelming. Auburn ranks at or near the bottom of the conference in every statistical category, both offensively and defensively, while Georgia's offense ranks near the top and its defense is in the middle of the pack.
Particularly troubling numbers if you're a Tiger fan – or Gator fan – are Auburn's rushing defense and turnover margin. The Tigers are last in the SEC (96th nationally) in rushing defense and 13th in the conference (106th nationally) in turnover margin. Georgia is fifth in the conference in both.
Auburn has changed its quarterback for the third time this year and will start freshman Jonathan Wallace against the Bulldogs. Wallace made his first start last week against New Mexico State and threw for 164 yards. Auburn leaned on its running game against the Aggies, and that looks to be the Tigers' best option against Georgia.
Auburn is 11th in the SEC in rushing offense, averaging 143 yards per game. Georgia's defense surrenders 144 yards a game on the ground, ranking eighth in the SEC.

CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — Three teens and a 22-year-old woman were found shot to death, apparent victims in a quadruple murder, near an old mountain resort on Thursday morning. Police said a 26-year-old suspect is in jail after being arrested on a parole violation charge.
The four bodies were discovered in a car on Renegade Mountain about 7 a.m., said Cumberland County Sheriff Butch Burgess. A man and woman on their way to work noticed the car parked on a gravel road and thought it odd. They stopped to check, found the bodies and called 911.
The victims were identified as Rikki Danielle Jacobson, 22, who was in the driver's seat. The others were Steven Presley, 17, Dominic Davis, 17, and John Lajeunesse, 16. Burgess said all four victims were believed to be from the area.
Early Friday authorities arrested Jacob Allen Bennett, 26, for parole violation in a neighboring county but identified him as a suspect in the quadruple murder.
District Attorney Randy York said the suspect "knew the victims to some degree," but declined to provide further details. He said he plans to call a special grand jury to present evidence against Bennett in the case.
The suspect has a lengthy criminal record, according to the Knoxville Sentinel. He was released March 4 on parole from prison, where he was mid-way into a six-year sentence for forgery, car theft, illegal possesion of a handgun during a felony and other charges.
About an hour west of Knoxville, Renegade Mountain is the site of a now defunct ski resort and golf course.
The wooded, isolated community still on the mountain has 141 houses and 43 full-time residents, homeowners association president John Moore told The Associated Press.
Residents have fought the community's owners over management issues - including security. Moore said the community has seen break-ins, drug dealers, "parkers" and sightseers.
Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, declined to say if drugs were involved in the quadruple murders, except to say that they contribute to 90 to 95 percent of all crimes, according to the Knoxville Sentinel.
Some details for this story were reported by the Crossville, Tenn. Chronicle.

New J.K. Rowling Interview: Confirms Working on "Scottish Book," Reflects on Dumbledore, Homophobia, Fundamentalism, Future Writing Projects and MoreJKR Interviews
J.K. Rowling has given a new interview with the Edinburgh "Student" newspaper, where the Harry Potter author gives her thoughts on future writing projects, the reaction to the news on Dumbledore's sexuality, religious fundamentalists, and much more. In this lengthy interview, Jo confirms she is indeed compiling information on the "Scottish book," or the encyclopedia involving the world of Harry Potter as she says "...I am working on it in fact. I just don't want to have to work to a deadline, but I am slowly piecing it together." The article mentions that the children's book that Jo is currently working on as well is still not finished and one that is for adults "may never see the light of day at all." Jo declined to elaborate further on these books noting "The minute I say anything, immediately my life becomes more complicated." She does go on to say that she "aways wanted to write a novel about a stand-up comedian. That is not what I am writing though, so if something comes out next week, that's not me, I'm not doing it! But for ages, I've had a real thing about it."
In a wide ranging conversation, Jo gives her thoughts on such things as dealing with depression and the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ("I would recommend it highly"), fame and recognition by her readers ("people coming up to me in Starbucks are always charming, Always") and whether she reads her own books ("The only one I've gone back and re-read since publication is the seventh book which is my favorite.") Jo Rowling also discusses at length two subjects which have generated much conversation among her fans: the repeated attempts of Laura Mallory to have the Harry Potter books banned in Georgia, and the large reaction to the news last October that Jo always felt her character of Professor Dumbledore was a gay man.
Regarding the Harry Potter book banning issue Jo says quote:
"I can cope with a bad review. No one loves a bad review but a useful review is one that teaches you something. But to be honest the Christian Fundamentalist thing was bad. I would have been quite happy to sit there and debate with one of the critics who were taking on Harry Potter from a moral perspective. In a sense we have traded arguments through the media. I've tried to be rational about it. There's a woman in North Carolina or Alabama who's been trying to get the books banned-she's a mother of four and never read them. And then- I'm not lying, I'm not even making fun, this is the truth of what she said-quite recently she was asked [why] and she said 'Well I prayed whether or not I should read them, and God told me no.' Rowling pauses to reflect on the weight of that statement, and her expression one of utter disbelief.
"You see, that is where I absolutely part company with people on that side of the fence, because that is fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is, 'I will not open my mind to look on your side of the argument at all. I won't read it, I won't look at it, I'm too frightened.' That's what's dangerous about it, whether it be politically extreme, religiously extreme...In fact, fundamentalists across all the major religions, if you put them in a room, they'd have bags in common!" she laughs loudly before sobering. "They hate all the same things, it's such an ironic thing."
On the matter of Dumbledore, Jo candidly states the following:
"I had always seen Dumbledore as gay, but in a sense that's not a big deal. The book wasn't about Dumbledore being gay. It was just that from the outset obviously I knew he had this big, hidden secret, and that he flirted with the idea of exactly what Voldemort goes on to do, he flirted with the idea of racial domination, that he was going to subjugate the Muggles. So that was Dumbledore's big secret.
Why did did he flirt with that?" she asks. "He's an innately good man, what would make him do that. I didnt even think it through that way, it just seemed to come to me, I thought 'I know why he did it, he fell in love.' And whether they physically consummated this infatuation or not is not the issue. The issue is love. It's not about sex. So that's what I knew about Dumbledore. And it's relevant only in so much as he fell in love and was made an utter fool of by love. He lost his moral compass completely when he fell in love and I think subsequently became very mistrusting of his own judgment in those matters so became quite asexual. He led a celibate and bookish life."
Clearly some people didn't see it that way. How does she react to those who disagree with a homosexual character in a children's novel? "So what?" she retorts immediately "It is a very interesting question because I think homophobia is a fear of people loving, more than it is of the sexual act. There seems to be an innate distaste for the love involved, which I find absolutely extraordinary. There were people who thought, well why haven't we seen Dumbledore's angst about being gay?" Rowling is clearly amused by this and rightly so. "Where was that going to come in? And then the other thing was-and I had letters saying this-that, as a gay man, he would never be safe to teach in a school."
An air of incredulity descends on the room as if Rowling herself still can not believe this statement. She continues: "He's a very old single man. You have to ask: why is it so interesting? People have to examine their own attitudes. It's a shade of character. Is it the most important thing about him? No, it's Dumbledore for God's sake. There are 20 things that are relavant to the story before his sexuality." Bottom line then: he isn't a gay character; he's a character that just happens to be gay. Rowling concurs wholeheartedly.

September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month
The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society.
Department of the Interior's American Latino Heritage Initiative
Numerous projects are being undertaken to increase the opportunities for historic places associated with American Latino history to be documented, preserved, and interpreted and for the public to better understand and appreciate the role of American Latinos in the development of the United States.
Latino Americans PBS Documentary
Latino Americans is the first major documentary series for television to chronicle the rich and varied history and experiences of Latinos, who have helped shape North America over the last 500-plus years and have become, with more than 50 million people, the largest minority group in the U.S. Produced with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Spanish Immigrant Transforms America's Urban Architecture
Although his building techniques were based on fourteenth-century methods he learned from master builders in Spain, Rafael Guastavino was the first to bring the engineering process to the United States when he immigrated in 1881. His patented tiling system enabled the construction of self-supporting arches that were simultaneously lightweight but strong, fireproof, and attractive.
National Endowment for the Humanities Featured Project (external link)
Hispanic American Veterans
Asked to serve their country in time of war, Hispanic Americans displayed courage and valor in the face of adversity. Familiar with discrimination back home, many saw their service as affirming the ideals of democracy. In this presentation, the Veterans History Project recounts their inspirational stories.

I'm male, say nothing and made my book on 31st August 2009.
I haven't bookmarked any quotes at the moment.
Immature love says: I love you because I need you. Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch ...
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
I may be the girl next door, but you wouldn't want to live next to me.
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.

Will instant messaging eat social networks?Instant messaging is the new digital battle ground. Daniel Young looks at what impact this battle might have for the traditional social networks. The social media landscape is changing, again, and the new players are demanding brands shift their mindset - from being human to getting personal.
The Woolworths media pitch: a case study on how not to treat agenciesIn the wake of the decision by retailer Woolworths to retain Carat as its media agency, Mumbrella's Nic Christensen asks if the much-maligned pitch for the $240m account is a case study in how clients should not treat their agencies. It's funny how history has a habit of repeating itself, but you'd like to think the marketing world would occasionally learn a trick or two. Some of the decisions in the process which led to the decision by Woolworths to keep its mammoth media account at Carat certainly make you wonder what goes through the minds of some clients when they pitch.
What I learned from debating science with trollsIn this cross-posting from The Conversation science astronomer Michael J. I. Brown shares his experiences in debating with and challenging online trolls. I often like to discuss science online and I'm also rather partial to topics that promote lively discussion, such as climate change, crime statistics and (perhaps surprisingly) the big bang. This inevitably brings out the trolls. "Don't feed the trolls" is sound advice, but I've ignored it on occasion – including on The Conversation and Twitter – and I've been rewarded. Not that I've changed the minds of any trolls, nor have I expected to.
Most 'big data' marketing is a waste of time, and here's whyUsing big data to look at past trends is not the best way to work out what your customers want, argues Peter Swan of the UNSW Australia Business School in this cross-posting from The Conversation. A passer-by happens upon a drunk searching for a lost wallet under a streetlight. With nothing in plain sight, the passer-by asks "Where did you drop your wallet?". "Over there," gestures the drunk across the street, "but I'm looking here because this is where the light is."
When newspaper managements 'back' themselvesThis has been a bad week for the newspaper industry, says Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes As far as Australian newspapers go, this has been a most disillusioning week. I love 'em - but jeez, they make it hard.
It ain't weak to speak - how I dealt with depressionAfter the tragic news of Robin Williams' death after a struggle with depression Oli Shawyer shares the story of his battle with the black dog, and how talking about it helped him beat it. The news of Robin Williams rocked me to my core yesterday. I didn't know the man personally but there is something so profoundly tragic about a comedian, someone whose job it is to make us laugh every day, suffering so intensely. To be fair, it's a testament to how fucked up depression really is – that it can somewhat delude a man beloved by so many people, into deciding that he is better off dead.
Digital copyright protection – some success, but mostly failureIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Nicholas Sheppard of Victoria University explores what measures have so far been tried, and failed, to stop copyright infringement and piracy. There's been a bit of talk recently about getting internet service providers (ISPs) involved in the enforcement of copyright law. The federal Attorney-General and Minister for Communications recently released an Online Copyright Infringement Discussion Paper in the belief that "even where an ISP does not have a direct power to prevent a person from doing a particular infringing act, there still may be reasonable steps that can be taken by the ISP to discourage or reduce online copyright infringement". Exactly what might be "reasonable steps" and how they might be funded are among the subjects up for discussion. Critics fear that it means turning ISPs into copyright police.
Which job in advertising gives the most ROI?In this guest post, Darren Woolley wonders which role in an agency – creative, media, digital, planning or account management – is the most valuable to the client. In benchmarking the cost of an ad agency's staff, you generally find that the rate a client pays is commensurate with the experience or seniority of the resource. But the question of value goes beyond just cost to determining the return on the investment. So in considering the value we need to balance the cost of the resource against how much they contribute to the ROI.
Calling bullshit on John Oliver's attack on native advertisingYesterday satirist John Oliver launched a blistering attack on native advertising describing it as "repurposed bovine waste". In this guest post, content marketing specialist Richard Parker calls bullshit on Oliver's argument. I'm usually a big fan of John Oliver. What's not to like? The lefty credentials? The anti-Fox news stance? The fact that he's from Birmingham? But his latest piece vilifying native advertising leaves me a bit cold.
Andrews' media accusers have some explaining of their own to doIn recent days 'tapegate' has consumed much of the Victorian political news cycle. In this cross posting from The Conversation academic Mark Pearson looks at legalities around journalists recording sources. It is a sad day when senior political figures steal a journalist's recording device and destroy its contents, as we have been told happened at this year's Victorian Labor Party conference. But it is an even sadder day when we hear a major newspaper – The Age – justifying a senior reporter secretly recording their conversations with sources.
Why Creative Effectiveness is the Cannes Lion you really want to winWith controversy over the criteria of entry for some Cannes Lions categories Phil Johnston argues the Creative Effectiveness category is the most rigorous 'effie' in the world. Don't worry. I'm not entering the debate on whether some Lion winners are scam. There are enough voices on that. And my starting point isn't even creativity. Because let's not forget that creativity is just a means to an end. What is that end? Meeting our clients' objectives, whatever they may be. That's what I'm here to do.
The Scam Lions? Count me outMumbrella will no longer attend the Cannes Lions. Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes argues that the scam in Cannes has become too much... I love everything about the Cannes Lions experience. So I'm sad that I'm probably never going to get to do it again.
Brandis' leaked copyright proposals are unrealisticIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Nicolas Suzor and Alex Button-Sloan from the Queensland University of Technology look at why the leaked plans to change copyright laws could lead to a lot of unintended problems for consumers. The Australian Government has proposed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) monitor and punish Australians who download and infringe copyright. In a discussion paper circulated by Attorney-General George Brandis, and leaked by Crikey last Friday, the government proposes a sweeping change to Australian copyright law. If implemented, it would force ISPs to take steps to prevent Australians from infringing copyright.
Why Nine's investment in Quickflix makes it tougher for Netflix to launch in AustraliaLast week Nine Entertainment Co made a $1m investment to buy eight per cent of streaming company Quickflix, whilst preparing to launch its own operation StreamCo. Here Nic Christensen looks at the underlying reasons for Nine buying into a rival. In the world of video streaming last week's investment by Nine into rival Quickflix did not go unnoticed, but as always with these deals the devil is in the detail. In this case, a series of warrants and covenants that came with this batch of shares.
With awards the more you get, the more you getFollowing recent controversy surrounding entries to the Cannes Lions awards Eaon Pritchard argues until we have a better way to evaluate the merits of agencies than awards all agencies will be highly incentivised to do whatever it takes to win . Advertising's outcomes are notoriously hard to measure. Which is why in advertising agencies, we love to measure outputs instead.

The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Here's something that's been bothering me, and upsetting my Cub: my vineyard. Small, just maybe 80 vines, but it takes hard rototiller work. The 6 rows are spaced so the Cub can drive down them, but...here's the issue: clearing weeds out between the vines which are about 6' apart and in a line. There's wood posts about every 3 vines, and horizontal wires at about 4' and 6' that run the entire length of each row. What I'd like to do, instead of getting exhausted wrestling with a Husqvarna rototiller in taking out the weeds is to consider some way to sit pretty on my tractor and back-forth get the job done while whistling and humming. But I cannot get the tractor in on the line (poles, wires)--gotta be offset. So I'm wondering about something like a cultivator tine set out some distance from the RH side of the Cub, probably off the horizontal arm (Tool Arm) for tines that's behind the RF wheel. Hydraulics up/down, and Cub forward/reverse and move on up to next space between vines would seem about right.
What's been done for something like this? What ideas are there for how to go about it? Something HUGE to bolt to the Tool Arm to take the bending and such? A couple of passes at, say, 3" deep would do the job... I've got attachments that are Tines, Shovel Nose jobbies, Sweep jobbies. I like the Tines because they're gentle and if I get into roots that belong to vines, I want to be able to back out without much damage.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Weed killer is used under the row on many vineyards. The non-chemical method is typically to use a grape hoe. I don't seem to have a picture of mine. It is manual control and was probably intended for a Farmall A although I have had it on a Cub. Back in the day, the green was considered one of the best. It was controlled with 2 hydraulic valves/cylinders. More modern ones have available a sensor to automatically control side movement. You can see different types by doing a google image search for "grape hoe" Many old-timers refered to this job as "horse-hoeing" as there were horse drawn machines. Some clean-up with a hand hoe is required.
Here is a pointer to Green's web page.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
There is a long toolbar (don't know the number) that attaches to the front toolbar mounts. Check the cultivator manuals atop this page.
edit: Looks like the 252 toolbars will get oyu out a bit past your wheels.

Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Thanks. The Green jobbie is way too much for me, although it does look like it is practically "made to order." No doubt expensive too.
The extended length tool bar seems like it might do the job although I'd have to come by one or see if a steel shop sells the correctly sized bar at the right length. And it seems like the tool bar needs to span L and R underneath the Cub belly to resist being twisted.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Yeah, the practical limit on what you can spend to do 500 feet of grape row is pretty low. Seeing what kind of working tools and blades they use may give you some useful ideas. Something like their rotary cultivators may work. Most of the rotary units seem to use hydraulic motors to turn them. Something free turning can be made to rotate by tilting one side deeper than the other. It may not work as well, but is much less expensive than any power driven system.
You can try to make something in a fixed position and use the tractor to steer around vines. I think you will find that pretty marginal (it has been tried), but may still be better than what you have today.
This probably isn't clear from what has been said. The conventional way to use a blade type grape hoe is to use it to pull dirt/weeds out from under the row. This leaves a ridge where the dirt falls past the inner end of the blade. A disk harrow is used to break up the ridge and till the soil between the rows. Later on, the grape hoe is set up with a hilling blade and it is used to throw a hill up under the row and cover weeds that have grown in the meanwhile. The hill provides the new supply of dirt for the next hoeing. In northern climates this is a once a year cycle. I suppose they may do it multiple times in some climates. Tillage is stopped each year as the grapes approach full size and are ready to start maturing. Later season weed control is handled by mowing.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Jim, sounds like you've been around some vineyards. Thanks for the overview. My little vineyard, mostly 3 years old, has settled in with the trunks starting to put on some heft. But the weeds remain a constant. Forever otherwise directed, it is pretty easy to forget to hoe or rototill and the next thing I know it is a forest of weeds.
After writing about an extended tool bar as a possiblity, I have spent the day (out in the rain putting in fence posts for sheep paddocks) thinking now and then that it won't work. Too much torque on the bar with the tines digging in, and the tool bar would extend some distance past the RH front wheel. It somehow all sounds like a disaster in the making. Some sort of triangulated steelwork might hold the tines in place, but the hydraulics would be curtailed by all that triangulation -- rigid connections, etc.
Back to the rototiller? Aiii, my aching back! And...look out for that low wire!
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Hi Dick,
I've been playing with the same problem this year. 7 foot rows 1 meter in the the row between vines. I mow with the cub and the 42 " Woods mower and can get to about 2" from the vines on each side. In parts of the vineyard crabgrass is taking over and hanging up on the Clemmons hoe that I run on the Farmall 75N. When this happens it will wipe out 2 or 3 vines before I can get it stopped. So I have been looking at ways to cultivate with the cub first then make a pass with the Clemmons that has the touch sensors and cuts under the wires. I purchased an 11 hp pull behind rototiller, took off half of the tines, leaving about 18" on the vine side, towed it behind the cub at low speed low throttle, just idling along. It turned the soil well but broke the shear pins after about a thousand feet. I'm now thinking one of those Howard Rotovators may be made to do the job. Could probably figure out how to cob it up to swing it under the row (for your vineyard) with little effort. Just gotta find one first . Before I purchased the Clemmons the weeds were getting ahead of us this year with the regular rains in MD, I would use the weed eaters to keep the weeds away from the vines. With 80 vines that would be a quick and dirty method. I'm trying to stay away from the chemical solution if I can. Tried to find some Rely this year, but no luck. It just burns down what it touches and is not systemic. I think the extended bar would be ok strength wise for what you are thinking about. Was talking with Boss Hog about this the other day and came up with a new cub attachment.....long narrow chicken tractors that we could hitch up to the cub every couple of days and pull down the vine row letting the chickens take care of the cultivating. Of course the chicken tractor would have to be painted red Howard
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
I don't know a whole lot about vineyards, but driving by it seems like the lower branches are always pruned off, so that it's one single line of "stems" (vines and posts) like one single line of vegetable crops. What you're saying about the extension off the front cultivator, so that the sweeps are outside the wheeltracks, seems like the most intuitive idea to me. A mirror image of the front cultivator setup, I suppose. I don't think you want to back up and go forward for each vine to really get the "in-row" weeds that are in the same line as the vines/posts --> just like a vegetable farmer, I think go up one side and down the other, cultivating as close to the plants as you dare. That would do the bulk of the work, and you'd be left with a narrow strip down the middle (where the vines/posts are) to do by hand or with some other hilling sort of tool. Depends at what stage you're weeding though -- late in the game with weeds well established, a tiller may be the only option...best to get them early+often, of course.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Roundup. Just don't spray it on the vine trunks and be careful on windy days so it doesn't drift to the next row. Stay a few inches away from the trunks.
I also use a cardboard tube about 3 ft. tall with a slit in it lengthwise so you can slip it around the trunk for extra protection.
I do this with my pecan and peach trees about once a growing season.
I'd be leery of having cultivating tools extended past the wheelbase of your Cub, this adds quite a bit of torque on the mounting scheme and I'd be afraid of cracking the housing.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
Might want to take a look at HY Yield Grass Killer. It is designed for flower and vegatable gardens. I will kill grass only, except corn, okra, and egg plant. It is grass specific. I spray it on the grass only and not the plants, but some will get on them. It has not hurt the plants. It should work in your vinyard.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
This (or something similar) may be a viable approach. However, keep in mind that grapes are VERY sensitive to many weed killers. Don't use anything that does not specifically list the product as safe for use on grapes.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
I did not look at the label to see if it was safe to use around grapes. I figured one would check before using it on his crops. I use it all the time and it works for veggies.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
I tried to find the use instructions for that product online. I found the label, which didn't answer the question. It says ""kills weedy grasses without damaging desirable plants." It has a footnote "See crop table list". I couldn't find the crop table list online. You need to chck the list.
This is just good practice with any herbicide. I wanted to make a point of it because grapes are exceptionally sensitive to herbicides.
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
I don't know much about sheep other than they eat grass and the cattle men didn't want them around in the old western movies, don't know if they like grapes or not, but they are used to "mow" the grass in other areas, why not in a vineyard ???? But, then, like I said, I don't know much about sheep. Baaaa
Re: The Vineyard: New Use of a Cub?
This is from Iowa State University extension website:
"Roundup (glyphosate) or one of the many generic forms is probably the most used herbicide used in
our Iowa vineyards"
and here, and here.
This publication is from Virginia Tech extension
I've never grown grapes, but it looks like Roundup is commonly used and recommended. Google "roundup grapes" and you'll find numerous accredited organizations using and recommending it's use in vineyards.

Love em
I own 3 of these shirts in short sleeve, and 1 in long sleeve (I intend to buy more long sleeve). VERY comfortable and a really nice looking shirt.
Frankiln, TN
Love the shirt, but ...
the color in the catalog is VERY different from the shirt's color. I ordered ""gull"" and was expecting it to be a richer gray. Instead, it's a very light grey outside - in indoor light, it looks almost pink!
Austin, TX
great shirt and fit
Great fit and purchase. I purchased several as dress/work shirts. Look out for deals and buy on sale, you will not be disappointed.
Feels great
Loved the colours. The fit is great. I order a tall and it is in fact a tall so the tail stays in. I will buy more
Love it
Smokey blue it the best, didn't like pumice, got some long sleeve too.
Alexandria, VA
Great Value
Bought this shirt and loved it. Bought two more in different colors. Cool and comfortable.
Houston, TX
Nice Go to Shirt
This is a shirt my husband wears quite a bit and seems to really like. I lowered the stars because the collar buttons are a bit flimsy and it seems to run just a little bit small. Though these aren't bad enough to keep me from buying another and I would've done 1/2 starts if allowed.
Shingle Springs, CA
Just plain comfy.
Ordered one. Then another. Then another. I now have the Made In The Fade in six colors and will get more. A great shirt!
Florida Keys
Great Shirt
Like the shirt have several of them. I would buy again but I would like to see a reduction in price.
Another great ""TA"" shirt
Great fit, great look and another Territory Ahead shirt added to my collection. This is my 2nd ""made in the twill"" shirt. Thanks for a great product!
Spring Mills, Pa
Ordered many shirts from TA and this one definitely was not the same sizing. I am a medium all day long. The short sleeves were very short and the overall shirt was small.

Weird shirt. The 'smoke blue' looked like 'I work in a gas station gray'. The collar was tiny and out of proportion. Sending it back.
