Introduction
Rachael Bell is an 18 year old student living in the UK. She received a significant amount of press coverage in April 2007 when she held a house party in her parents' house that was gate-crashed and attended by over 200 guests causing over £20,000 worth of damage to the £230,000 detached house in Houghton-le-Spring, Co Durham
Rachael Bell is currently studying for her A-Levels. She is the daughter of Alan and Elaine (a teacher) Bell. Following the party she was arrested and released on bail pending further enquiries.
Rachael has stated that an advert for the party posted on popular teen website MySpace was altered by hackers encouraging people to gate-crash the party.
The party was set in the theme of a popular UK TV series Skins shown on UK Channel 4 which features a scene where a teenage party becomes out of hand. The party was given the name "Easter Monday Bash Skins Unofficial Party" and was given the subtitle "Let's trash the average family-sized house disco party"
The party
The party was organised for Easter Monday in 2007. It was initially expected to be attended by around 30-40 guests. .
The party had been set to start at around 10pm however it was reported that cars started arriving bringing guests from as early as 9:30pm. When guests that Rachael had not invited started to arrive she reportedly bolted the door however guests began to climb through windows to enter the house.
As the party became out of hand neighbors made attemps to enter the premises and disperse the guests however they were ignored and all attemps to curb the party failed.
At around 10PM 7 police cars and a dog unit attended the party however the sheer number of guests made it impossible to end the party without further problems and the party was allowed to continue.
Aftermath
Damage to the house was significant and the family have been forced to relocate to temporary accommodation while cleaning and repairs take place.
Rachael's parents reported that vomit was present in almost all rooms, cigarettes had been burned into carpets, light fixtures had been ripped from the roof, her brothers clothes dyed and even a wedding dress had been urinated on.
Immediately after the party Rachael went into hiding at a friends house and made no contact with her angered parents. After her arrest and bail she contacted her parents to apologise for the trouble caused and to place the blame on the altered party invite.
Currently police are continuing their inquiries, and attempting to contact partygoers.
There are reports that the family may move permanently as Rachael's family now feel the house holds "too many bad memories".

ManPool
ManPool is an informal extension of Eight-Ball that is rapidly gaining popularity in the Sydney-metropolitan area. It is a variation that encourages players to play a manly game, or more correctly encourages them to agressive or high risk shots. Rolling up soft shots towards the pockets are exactly the type of shots that Manpool is designed to eliminate.
In short ManPool mandates that as well as the normal rules for fouls a shot is also a foul if the shot is deemed to be 'unmanly'.
Manly shots
# The forceful shot – a direct shot hit hard enough such that a ball going into the pocket will touch the back of the ball net.
# The Rebound. Any ball sunk on a rebound (even if it trickles in) is considered a Manly Shot
# The Cannon. Any ball sunk from a cannon is considered a Manly Shot (even if it trickles in). As well as the ball sunk the ball used as part of the cannon is removed from the table. A cannon must be “called” (it is not acceptable to play six pocket theory – a very Manly theory – and then claim cannon).
Foul exemptions
# The forceful shot sometimes means balls leave the table form being hit in such a Manly manner. In this event, all ball off the table remain off the table. If the white is forced off the shot is considered a foul and the opponent gets ball in hand.
# It is not necessary to use your own ball as part of the cannon. However be aware that you will remove your opponents ball if that is what you use for your cannon. Also be aware that if you initially strike an opponent’s ball attempting to do a cannon but fail with the cannon this shot is a ball-in-hand-foul.
Manly Saves
# If a ball is hit off the table, and a player catches the ball before it hits anything else (including floor, bystanders, chairs, etc) the ball may be placed back on the table in the centre dot, and the shot is considered a foul, so play turns over to the other player.
# Attempting a manly save on the black ball is considered a way of preventing your opponent an easy win. If you pull off a manly save on the black, you win the game. If case of dispute, see 'Disputes'
Forfeits
In the interest of keeping the game of manpool as manly as possible, unmanly behaviour results in a forfeit.
# Intentional soft shots where the aim is to cause a snooker is considered an act of unmanliness, and will result in a forfeit.
# Multiple unintentional soft shots are considered an act of unmanliness, and will result in a forfeit. The exact number of soft shots required to result in a forfeit is generally up to the audience, or the players in case of no audience.
Disputes
All manpool disputes should be settled by a show of physical strength, followed by a beer.
Gambling
Gambling is considered a manly activity, therefore gambling and Manpool go well together.

Stoltzfus Spreaders is a US-based manufacturing company located in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. The company specializes in building heavy duty spreaders for wet lime, fertilizer, Portland cement, and other hard to spread materials.
History
Stoltzfus Spreaders was founded in 1945 by Christian U. Stoltzfus in an old water-powered feed mill in an area just outside of Morgantown, PA known locally as Goosetown. Over the years, the company operated as Broadfall Spreaders and Willow Glen Industries. In 1968, the company was officially incorporated in Pennsylvania as C.U. Stoltzfus Mfg., Inc. with offices in Morgantown, PA. The company currently does business as Stoltzfus Spreaders.
The first products were truck-mounted boom-style lime spreaders followed by tractor-drawn units that were designed for fertilizer dealers.
In 1978, the company introduced a new spinner style lime spreader that allowed individual farmers to buy inexpensive lime and stockpile it in their fields for spreading at a later date.
In 2002, the company introduced a new mechanical cement spreader for spreading Portland cement for the soil stabilization and soil cement processes. The cement spreaders are sold under the Stoltz Site Spreader brand name.
In 2006, Stoltzfus Spreaders introduced a new soil stabilization cement spreader. The Stoltz A2 uses a dual auger discharge mechanism and a patent pending slide gate to further reduce dust while loading and spreading.
