2011 MAC Pick 'em
Football season is near! And with the upcoming season, we will be starting the inaugural MAC Pick 'em. Fans will be able to get bragging rights for their expertise, and anyone can be a part of the fun. Just create an account and register by "pledging" with a simple reply to this post. It's that easy!
The Pick 'em will run from September 1st's games all the way through bowl season. Scoring will be discussed later. The slate of games will consist of MAC games only, non-conference and conference. Tiebreakers will be used, and each week, the leading picker will win top honors, and temporary bragging rights. Maybe a picture of a trophy if you're lucky. Winner of the whole thing will get full out bragging rights, with maybe a little something extra if we can figure out a victory prize.
More after the jump.
Scoring will be as followed:
Two main tie breakers will be used, with a possible 3rd used in Bowl season if needed:
Week-by-week ties will be broken by correctly picking team with HIGHEST total in the week, followed by LOWEST if needed. If tie remains, either rock-paper-scissors best 2 out of 3 will break tie, or co-winners will be announced Overall winner tie will be broken with MAC Championship score. If both pickers were correct on the game, then total points will be used. If tie remains, then halftime points will be used. If tie remains, then Bowl season tiebreaker is implemented. Total points scored by MAC teams will be determine winner.If anyone has any questions, feel free to comment. Registration ends on August 27th, so join before it's too late!

The males all reported that I may as well have been writing about their (wife, sister, mother, daughter, cousin, girlfriend) who was also an inveterate stone picker. I did not realize the malady was so pervasive. I myself like stones,
That was when country music was kind of sliding out and rock and roll was coming in. I decided I was going to have to learn to play rock and roll. I got the old guitar out and started hitting some licks and got so I could fill in on a lot of songs.
Cherrington Sells 27 Beach Cleaners to Ecuador « North Dakota ...
Congratulations to NDTO member company Cherrington on a recent business deal with Ecuador! The sale marks the largest single transaction the company has made in Latin America. In February, Cherrington received a sales order for 27 beach cleaners. The machines were delivered in March and May 2011 with two technicians on site for the installation and training of the 27 machines.
Terry Iten, Sales & Marketing Administrator with Cherrington Enterprises, Inc. explains how the deal happened: “We had several inquiries from the region, but it was very difficult to evaluate the ability of each distributor. After many e-mails and phone calls a decision was made to go with the one we felt had the best ability to present and sell our features and benefits. Although he was several hours from the coast he was the most honest with the information that the Government was more comfortable working with a Spanish speaking Beach Cleaner manufacturer from Spain, and that the specifications had already been written around their machine. We had Spanish brochures but we quickly translated our operator’s manual to help better explain the design and method that is used in the Cherrington Screeners / Beach Cleaners. There were several weeks of rather frustrating presentations and negotiations but we did prevail and were awarded the supply contract.”
Cherrington exports more machines than it sells in the US and their marketing plan is globally focused. But employees say Midwestern ingenuity, workforce skill and work ethic make this the best place in the world to build equipment. The McPherson family (who purchased the Cherrington line in 2001) has a long history of building landscape equipment in this region. The McPherson’s and their employees built and distributed the Harley line of rock pickers and power rakes in their company, Glenmac Inc. for 30 years (that product line was sold in 2005 to Paladin Brands). In the early years of that company, the Harley Rock Picker was used to clean beaches in a few locations throughout the world in addition to harvesting field rock and roots for agricultural applications and golf course building.
About the same time, Roger Cherrington had the idea of building a beach cleaner based on the concept of a potato picker and did so in his shop near Fairfax, Minnesota. Then he traveled in the wintertime to California beaches doing demonstrations and building a market there for mechanical beach cleaning. The two companies crossed paths at beach demonstrations and contests over the years and in 2001 when Roger Cherrington decided to sell his business he called his acquaintance, and once competitor, Mac McPherson. They soon joined the expertise of their two companies to build the Cherrington line of screeners you see today on beaches, landscape sites, horse tracks and gunnery ranges all over the world.
