USDA Announces Turkey Products Purchase
AMS No. 271-12
Sam Jones-Ellard (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 2012 Marketing and Regulatory Programs Under Secretary Edward Avalos has announced USDA's intent to purchase up to $35 million of turkey products for federal food nutrition assistance programs, including food banks.
The turkey industry consists of vertically integrated companies that produce, process, and market turkeys and turkey products. Producers have been profitable with current whole turkey prices but may be close to break even or below in the fourth quarter if feed prices remain equal to current December futures prices. However, producers who primarily produce turkey parts and processed products find costs of production above selling price for their products.
This purchase will assist turkey producers who are currently struggling due to challenging market conditions and the high cost of feed, said Avalos. The purchase will help mitigate further downward prices, stabilize market conditions, and provide high quality, nutritious food to recipients of USDA's nutrition programs."
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) purchases a variety of high-quality food products each year to support the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast Program, the Summer Food Service Program, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program and the Emergency Food Assistance Program. USDA also makes emergency food purchases for distribution to victims of natural disasters.
Government food experts work to ensure that all purchased food is healthful and nutritious. Food items are required to be low in fat, sugar and sodium. The commodities must meet specified requirements and be certified to ensure quality. AMS purchases only products of 100 percent domestic origin. This purchase is based on analyses of current market conditions.
For more information or purchase details, interested suppliers should contact, in writing: Contracting Officer, USDA/AMS Commodity Procurement Staff, Stop 0256, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250; telephone (202) 720-4517; or visit the AMS website at

The final numbers for 2013 residential real estate sales are in, and it was a record-breaking year for Charleston-based agency The Cassina Group. The boutique firm, with only 19 general brokerage agents, placed in the top 10 of all Charleston-based real estate companies, surpassing firms with many more agents. The agents sales volume of more than $152.8 million in closed sales for the year earned them this honor and represents a 50 percent growth over the companys 2012 numbers.
We are beyond pleased that 2013 was such a productive year for our company, said Robertson Allen, broker-in-charge and co-founder of The Cassina Group. Our dedicated, full-time agents, wonderful clients and cutting edge website attributed greatly to this success and we look forward to another prosperous year. The company works with local tech firm, BoomTown ROI, to design and manage its website. The site at www.thecassinagroup.com employs an easy-to-use real estate search engine that allows users to narrow down their preferred residential property searches in a quick and efficient way.
Our goal is to stay on top of innovative technology to deliver the best possible customer experience to our clients and to only hire driven agents who can deliver the high level of service our customers expect, said Jimmy Dye, broker and co-founder of The Cassina Group.
In 2013, The Cassina Group also received statewide accolades as one of the fastest-growing companies in the state by SCBiz News Roaring Twenties. The company, founded in 2006, also purchased its second office in the Charleston area. The company now has offices in both Mount Pleasant (309 Coleman Blvd.) and downtown Charleston (69 Morris St.).

Monday, January 6, 2014
David A. DeCenzo, Ph.D., president of Coastal Carolina University, has been re-elected as chair of South Carolina Sea Grant Consortiums Board of Directors. DeCenzo will begin his one-year term on Jan. 1. I look forward to serving another term as chairman of the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium, said DeCenzo. The consortiums work is important to our state, and it is a pleasure to work with such an impressive board and outstanding staff.
DeCenzo, a native of Maryland, is the second president of Coastal Carolina University (CCU). Prior to his appointment as president, DeCenzo served as dean of CCUs E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration from 2002-2006, and was named provost of the university from 2006-2007. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Master of Business Administration program in 2006.
DeCenzo attended the University of Maryland at College Park, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics (1978). He also earned a Master of Arts degree with an emphasis on labor economics (1980) and a Ph.D. in industrial relations (1981), both from West Virginia University. He then became a corporate trainer/employee development specialist with Blue Cross Blue Shield, an assistant professor at the University of Baltimore and a professor, scholar and administrator at Towson University in Baltimore. DeCenzos teaching and research interests have focused on management, human resource management and organizational behavior. He is the author or co-author of nearly 30 textbooks that are used widely at colleges and universities.
I look forward to working with Dr. DeCenzo again this year in his role as board chairman, said Rick DeVoe, executive director of the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium. His leadership has been instrumental to the Consortium as it seeks to build on successes in serving the information needs of various stakeholders who depend on the coastal and marine resources of South Carolina.
The consortiums board of directors is composed of the chief executive officers of its member institutions. Currently serving on the board are: Dr. David A. DeCenzo, president of Coastal Carolina University (board chair); James F. Barker, president of Clemson University; Dr. P. George Benson, president of College of Charleston; Dr. Mark S. Sothmann, interim president of Medical University of South Carolina; Col. Alvin A. Taylor, executive director of S.C. Department of Natural Resources; Thomas J. Elzey, president of S.C. State University; Lt. General John W. Rosa, president of The Citadel; and Dr. Harris Pastides, president of University of South Carolina.
The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium, a university-based state agency, seeks to enhance the practical use and conservation of South Carolinas coastal and marine resources to foster a sustainable economy and environment. The consortium is a member of the nationwide network of 33 Sea Grant Programs that are sanctioned through the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program, U.S. Department of Commerce.

RRS Ernest Shackleton Research Ship Webcam
The webcam on RRS Ernest Shackleton is situated in the Conning Tower (see the Virtual Tour for an image of the Conning Tower). It generally looks forward, but if something of particular interest is going on, it may be moved to look aft or to either side. This is a particularly interesting webcam as (when not on long sea passages) the scenery changes regularly. During the Antarctic summer, it is possible to see stunning polar scenery, icebergs and mountains. During the Antarctic winter, the Shackleton undertakes survey work in the North Sea so you may catch a glimpse of an oil or gas platform. It updates approximately once every hour.

The green barn at Carnes Crossroads should be rebuilt in the next 60 to 90 days.
The well known Berkeley County structure will serve as a pavilion and gathering place for the Carnes Crossroads community, where residents can hold meetings and picnics. That's according to Daniel Island Company's Communications Director Julie Dombrowski and VP of Development Bill McKenzie.
They said Carnes Crossroads is set to become a community similar to Daniel Island with a small town feel that has retail, parks, trails and corporate offices.
The 4,000-square-foot Dallas V. Carnes Barn is in the Goose Creek city limits. For years the barn has been visible to commuters near the intersection of U.S.-17A and U.S.-176.
McKenzie said the Daniel Island Company thought of turning the barn into offices but realized that would limit its enjoyment to a few people. "It will be a pavilion-like structure, more open air with the ability to enclose during the cold," McKenzie said. "It's designed to be flexible."
In 2009 the barn was moved a few hundred yards to its current location near the Carnes Crossroads Information Center.
"It's a little more complicated than starting from scratch," McKenzie said. "We're trying to reuse as much as we can. Some of the wood was rotten. The doors are being reworked."
"We felt it was important to keep it because it's historic," Dombrowski said.
"There really wasn't a whole lot to it," McKenzie said. "It has a second floor, but we're not going to utilize it."
Hill Construction is doing the renovations with architectural designs by Stubbs-Muldrow-Herin.
The barn's first owner of record was absentee owner Joseph Thorowgood in 1682, according to an archeological report by Brockington & Associates.
The land has had several owners since, including more recently Dallas V. Carnes (for whom the barn and crossroads is named) and Howard C. Prettyman, who appears to have built the barn in the late 1930s.
Carnes died prior to 1931. In 1938 Berkeley County Sheriff P.E. Myers Jr. sold Carnes' estate to Prettyman.
Prettyman was a Summerville timber man who acquired several thousand acres of local forests for use in his mill, H.C. Prettyman and Sons, according to the archeological report.
The Carnes Barn is a transverse-crib horse barn with a metal gambrel roof, according to the report describing the original barn. The two-story structure has a large, open hayloft about 12 stalls and various storage rooms.
It is a prime example of agricultural architectural styles from the early 20th century.
The barn has had continual upkeep. The report indicates the roof has some wind damage and some of the foundation piles exhibit damage from termite infestation. Overall, the barn is in good condition for its age, the report continues.
Two ventilators along the ridgeline provide air circulation to the hayloft. Each ventilator has a lightning rod with grounding wires running down each barn corner.
The structure measures 79 feet north to south and 34 feet east to west. The two main doors are 10 feet, 6 inches wide and are on both ends of the barn. The doors slide on overhead hardware.
The east elevation has six Dutch stall doors constructed of battens. The west elevation has six stall doors and one batten door on the north end that provides the only pedestrian entrance.

Gallery: Filming of "We Are Marshall" from 2006
Jul. 23, 2013 @ 12:36 PM
In 2006, the Tri-State was invaded by Hollywood.
For weeks, residents were able to watch some filming take place for "We Are Marshall," as well as running into actors about and out.
Filming began April 3, 2006, in Huntington and concluded in Atlanta on June 21, 2006.
The Warner Bros. production is an inspirational drama based on the true story of Marshall's and Huntington's efforts to rebound from the tragic plane crash on Nov. 14, 1970.
For more information, check out "The 1970 Marshall Plane Crash: The Real Story."

Organic Standards
The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic. Overall, organic operations must demonstrate that they are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances. A brief summary is provided below.
View regulations
Organic crops.
The USDA organic seal verifies that irradiation, sewage sludge, synthetic fertilizers, prohibited pesticides, and genetically modified organisms were not used.
Organic livestock.
The USDA organic seal verifies that producers met animal health and welfare standards, did not use antibiotics or growth hormones, used 100% organic feed, and provided animals with access to the outdoors.
Organic multi-ingredient foods.
The USDA organic seal verifies that the product has 95% or more certified organic content. If the label claims that it was made with specified organic ingredients, you can be sure that those specific ingredients are certified organic.
Regulatory Process
The NOP develops the laws that regulate the creation, production, handling, labeling, trade, and enforcement of all USDA organic products. This process, commonly referred to as rulemaking, involves input from the National Organic Standards Board (a Federal Advisory Committee made up of fifteen members of the public) and the public.

Activity Tables
Great classroom tables will help improve student work and classroom organization. Which school tables should you get? You should choose classroom tables based on size, shape and color. Hertz Furniture's top-notch selection of activity tables will transform your study space into an inviting learning environment where students are happy and comfortable.
What activities can be done at classroom tables?
School tables can be used for a number of important classroom activities. When you are working on an arts and crafts project, the easiest way to make sure that every student gets the right materials and has an appropriate work space is to seat them around activity tables. This arrangement provides personal work areas that are organized, while at the same time seating students close to one another, which encourages collaboration and interaction.
Academic activities are easy to facilitate and supervise when children are seated at a school table. This arrangement makes it simple for teachers to walk around and observe each student's work. With a few separate activity tables, you can seat students according to different ability levels or subjects so each individual can work on subject matter that is appropriate. This enables educators in a collaborative teaching arrangement to work with various small groups separately. Alternatively, this setup can be used to encourage students to work together and learn how to take advantage of each other's strengths.
What shape activity table should I get?
Certain activity table shapes are particularly helpful to teachers who like to work with intimate groups of students. A kidney or horseshoe activity table provides a perfect space for the teacher to sit and interact with a small number of students. With the teacher seated on one side and all students facing in that direction, it is convenient to supervise individual work or communicate with the whole group. This arrangement is ideal for math groups or reading groups. It can also help when a few students are in need of extra assistance with meeting Common Core State Standards or other learning requirements.
The classic square and round school tables have their advantages as well. A square table gives each child a clear personal space, which minimizes kicking and squishing. Round tables encourage students to work together because all students that are seated around them can see each other. While each of these shapes has its advantages, the right one will ultimately depend on your classroom layout.
In addition to having classic and convenient table shapes, we also offer a number of fun classroom tables with creative configurations. Trapezoid-, flower-, clover- and plus-shaped school tables create engaging work spaces. Whichever shape or shapes you choose, school tables also provide a great place for snack time, and even mealtimes.
What is a good color for an activity table?
Any color that will entice your students and make a classroom more inviting is a great choice. You can add some enriching color to your preschool or daycare with Educational Edge activity tables. Brightly-colored accents introduce a little touch of vibrant hues that will create a more friendly and inviting space. Educational Edge activity tables have colored edge banding and some include colored legs and ball glides as well.
How do I know what size school tables to get?
Make sure to note the heights of the school tables you are considering for your classroom. Adjustable-height tables offer the ultimate in flexibility because they can be adapted to suit students of various ages and sizes. If you work in an early-childhood center or daycare, toddler tables are essential. When little ones have appropriately-sized preschool tables, it is easier for them to learn proper posture and develop motor skills.
In addition to the classic school table model, we also have specialized classroom tables. If you want to add some desktop computers to your study space, we have a wonderful selection of computer tables that will serve your students well. For the preschool or daycare learning space we also have sand and water tables which facilitate fun skill-building activities.
Don't underestimate the potential impact of appropriate classroom furniture on the learning and overall educational experience of your students. Hertz Furniture has the activity tables you need to provide the ideal space for your students, no matter what your classroom setup is. Our classroom tables come from top school furniture manufacturers including Academia, Mahar Manufacturing, ECR4Kids, Allied Plastics and Wood Designs.

Speciation & Hybridization Seminar
From eebedia
Spring 2009. EEB 5894- section 001, Instructor Chris Simon, Peoplesoft class number (12379)
Meeting time and place
We are meeting this semester in the Biopharm 3rd Floor Fishbowl Mondays and Tuesdays 2-3pm.
Please sign up for two dates on the schedule below. A list of topic ideas follows but you can choose anything related to speciation and hybridization.
Subtopic Ideas:
SPECIATION 1) What did Darwin say about speciation and hybridization? (First week) 2) When does a species become a species? How can the earliest stages of speciation be recognized? 3) How much genetic divergence should we expect within species? Are large genetic divergences within species due to polymorphisms/large population sizes, or artifacts, or are they simply due to our failure to recognize cryptic species? 4) Are there "speciation genes"? What are some examples? Are speciation genes restricted to a certain type of mutation or class of genes?
HYBRIDIZATION: It has been estimated that at least 25% of plant species and 10% animal species hybridize* 1) How much gene flow occurs across species boundaries and what are the consequences for species? 2) How can lineage sorting be separated from hybridization as a cause for phylogenetic uncertainty? 3) How important is hybrid speciation in nature 4) Conservation Biology: Should hybrids be shot or poisoned? Or not?
- Mallet, 2005, 2007

This shade is a lovely deep coral/pink shade with this gorgeous purple/blue duochrome type effect to it. This effect is the reason i purchased it, i was going to choose another shade. But this uniqueness to the shade won me over. I can't wait to fully try it. From my experience with Chanel lacquers (only have one other shade) they really last for ages without a top coat, can't wait to try it with a top coat! A must have shade!
I really love this shade! It is a lovely peachy colour with metallic shimmer. The texture of the polish itself is very thin, which means it is really easy to build up! I applied this with three coats and no top coat. It lasted about 4 days before it started chipping. This was my first really expensive polish purchase and i am so impressed! I think i'll be reluctant to go back to cheaper polishes! I gave it 4.5 just because of the price in Australia, it's $39!
After the wonderful review this shade got, I've finally bought it to see for myself if this actually felt like a galaxy on the nails. And I mus say that the color really is beautiful and has wonderful red reflections over the deep purple but I've found out that the application was a bit difficult and it chips on me after three days. Still I really like it and with patience and with a good topcoat is still a very special color that I will kep on wearing.
Although is a lovely color for spring and summer, it is a bit hard to use since it is sheer and it takes three coats minimum to get full coverage. Usually I apply four to be completely happy with the result. The ending color looks between a soft orange and coral with subtle shimmer. It wears well, and lasts five days on me without chipping.

This is a classic shade by Chanel. It has a deep red color with a hint of brown, it's a vit vampy so I prefer to use it in autumn and Winter. I usually paint three coats to get full coverage and it dries with a glossy finish. On me it lasts about five days without chiping and with minor tip wear. It's a color I recommend to have in your stash.
I'm wearing Vertigo as I type! Now, it's not a colour that will appeal to everyone: it is sort of nondescript. There's a bit of dark grey, brown and mauve. Unfortunately, the reddish shimmers visible in the bottle do not show up on the nails, except under bright light. I suspect they might be what gives the colour this depth.
All in all, Vertigo applies well, and last a solid four days at least on me, without chipping, which is good to very good considering my nails.
But what really sways me is how elegant albeit unusual this colour is. I find it surprisingly easy to wear (though I can see why some may disagree!). It's my absolute favourite colour for winter.

Love this lavendar scrub! Skin feels soft, smooth & refreshed after use.
I love these so much I use them at home for myself as well as for my clients.
Although I enjoyed the benefits of the product I wasn't fond of the aroma. There is another aroma I purchased that is very pleasant smelling.
I ordered the small container of the Lavender Scrub. I had a small patch of psorisis on my leg, I used it everyday and no more psorisis! I also love the way it leaves my skin feeling. I scrub my elbows and they are nice and soft now, before the skin on my elbows would catch on my clothes. I bought the 2 gallon. Great product!!!
I tried the lavendar scrub and was absolutely amazed as to how silky smooth my skin felt after applying it in the shower! It just left me feeling soft and smooth. I ran out, and now I'm going to try the other scents, I love this product its a great exfoliant as well.

It took an extra day for J.T. Waters to decide but when he was sure, he was sure.
The Palmetto Christian Academy quarterback signed his National Letter of Intent Friday morning to join The Citadel Bulldogs next season.
"It's such a relief to have this decision over with,? Waters said. ?The process is fun but it's also stressful. I've had a bunch of great coaches talk to me, which made it that much harder. I wanted to take an extra day or two to make sure I was completely comfortable with the decision.
"I feel great about The Citadel. I love the coaches out there, the campus, the dorms, the weight room. And education-wise it seemed like the best fit, so I'm really happy with my decision."
Waters earned SCISA Statewide Player of the Year while leading the Eagles into the second round of the Class AA playoffs. His 2,579 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns both rank No. 2, and 4,328 total yards rank No. 5, for quarterbacks nationwide, according to Maxpreps.com. He is Palmetto Christian Academy's first Division I signee in school history.
"PCA gave me the opportunity to play for them and made this all possible," he said. "I don't know where I would be without my coaches and teammates. This school has built the foundation for what I was able to do today in signing with the Citadel."
Waters expects to play quarterback or slot back and says he's open to doing whatever is best for the team. As of Friday, he's the third quarterback or fourth slot back signee in first-year head coach Mike Houston's inaugural signing class.
"They can put me anywhere on the field. It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm out there," Waters said. "That's one of the things I'm most excited about, getting out there in there and competing with some great players right away."

Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Critical mass, that's an apt description for the number of competitors expected to be on the water this weekend when Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week gets underway on Friday, April 19. Nearly 300 sailboat owners from across the U.S. and six other countries have registered to compete, effectively rendering this the largest regatta of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. (There were 296 at press time.)
This year, Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week has grown by more than 15 percent, attracting sailors of all stripes, from novices in the sport to professional crews. The majority of participants – roughly 85 percent – come from places other than South Carolina. In fact, there will be nearly as many boats arriving from places west of the Mississippi River as there will be from the entire palmetto state.
"We're really pleased to see how popular this regatta has become," said event director Randy Draftz in a news release. "We've always been committed to the highest quality of race management on the water and superb shoreside hospitality, and I think that formula really works. We're also fortunate to have one of the most desirable sailing venues in the country as well as a terrific assembly of sponsors, beginning with Sperry Top-Sider, our title sponsor for the past three years."
Draftz added that almost every aspect of the regatta has grown significantly over the past year. "Now, we've not only got more competitors than ever before, but we've also attracted more sponsors, and we're getting more exposure. Our 30-second commercial on Outside Television has been airing in markets across the country (meaning 8 million households) for several weeks now."
No doubt the biggest growth area this year is among the smaller, trailerable keelboats that race inshore. Included here will be a 56-boat class of J/70s, a design that had barely been introduced a year before and a 39-boat fleet of Viper 640s. "In all, it appears that we'll have over 200 boats in Charleston Harbor," explained Draftz, "so it's going to be an amazing sight from almost any perspective. It's definitely a record year for us."
Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week runs from April 18 through April 21 and is open to all monohull sailboats 20 to 80 feet in length. The event is owned and managed by Charleston Ocean Racing Association, and is supported by Sperry Top-Sider, the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina, Vineyard Vines and Gosling's Rum. Additional sponsors include the Town of Mount Pleasant, Gill, Coral Reef Sailing Apparel, North Sails, B&G/Simrad, Dimension Polyant, Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Eelsnot, Marlow, Bainbridge, Newport Shipyard and Torqueedo Outboards, along with Charleston Community Sailing, West Marine, Pierside Boatworks, College of Charleston Sailing Association, Harken, Cricket, Lewmar, Azalea Moving and Storage, Other Brother Entertainment, Sail Charleston and Zip2Water.com.

Yo, ho, heres Christmas! I hope your day is filled with joy. Whether you woke up surrounded by people or with a cat purring on your chest, please know that you are loved.
Maybe today will be chaotic, with lots of family, visitors, gifts and food. Or maybe it will be quiet and contemplative, with good soup and a nice afternoon nap.
If you relish being among friends and family, mazel tov! I love my tribe, but it only takes a few hours of frenetic activity before I start looking for a place to hide. After opening gifts, gobbling breakfast and cleaning up a three-foot mound of wrapping paper, tissue and ribbons, Im ready to retreat to my room. But apparently its considered rude to go back to bed when you have company. Go figure.
If youre alone today its not a bad thing, or a reflection of you as a person. Ive spent a couple of Christmases alone and honestly, they were great days. (The hardest part is convincing people that yes, you really do want to be alone and no, youre not going to get drunk and cry all day.) I slept late, opened a couple of gifts and went to church. Then I crashed with my dogs in front of the fireplace and ate Hersheys kisses in the red and green foil. No mess, no stress. The next day I felt renewed and rested.
Speaking of renewed, lots of people have Christmas traditions that they renew faithfully every year. You might hang homemade stockings, or host a tree-trimming party, or send Christmas cards by Dec. 1. (Hahahahaha! I mean, good for you!) Maybe you donate to a worthy charity, or faithfully attend midnight mass. Or maybe your tradition is that you have no Christmas traditions. Thats OK, too.
Whats your favorite Christmas carol? I have so many: Angels We Have Heard on High, Joy to the World, Deck the Halls and the list goes on. I also like Elton Johns Step Into Christmas. Thatll make you toss the tinsel higher. But I could go the rest of my life without hearing Rockin Around the Christmas Tree. Nothing against Brenda Lee, but her croaky little rasp drives me nuts.
Confession: Sometimes I dont decorate, except for displaying Christmas cards and piling presents Ive wrapped on the dining room table. Some years December just flies by at warp speed . then two days before Christmas Widdle asks, Is it too late to get everything from the attic? To which I respond, Not if you plan to set it all up and take it all down.
Ive got the spirit of the seasonI dont own an Andy Williams album just for show-- but Im not about to decorate on Monday and break it down on Thursday. So some years it just doesnt happen.
Another confession: Ive never watched Its a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street or even A Charlie Brown Christmas. I watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer once as a child, and cried so hard for poor bullied Rudolph that my dad had to carry me from the room.
My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around to look at lights. I love to see houses and yards blazing with twinkling holiday displays. Many Summerville residents go wild with decorations, from crèches with Baby Jesus to an electrified Frosty the Snowman jamming on the front lawn. I love them all.
And you, too, dear reader. Enjoy your day.

The action of trapping an unsuspecting person in a place which you have released a deadly fart cloud. This "place" can be under the bed covers, in a sleeping bag, in a locked car, in a closet, or any place that will trap the cloud allowing maximum fumage.
On our camping trip, Joe Bob gave me a dutch oven by farting into my sleeping bag and zipping me up in it. I survived to tell the story.

Covering a person with a blanket, and then farting under the blanket, making sure the fart remains trapped in the blanket bio-sphere. The desired effect is that your dutch oven occupant will have no choice but to inhale the noxious fumes.

A Dutch oven is where you let of a gastly fart under the bed covers and trap it while your girlfriend is out of the room; when she gets back in bed, you force her innocent face under the sheets to see if the odour makes her vomit.
