Some words on Spicer.
Spicer (below right) participated in the Berkeley Renaissance with Robin Blaser, Robert Duncan and others, including important folk such as Helen Adam, Ebbe Borregaard, Thomas Parkinson, Graham Mackintosh, Steve Jonas, John Weiners and others, though the original trio (Spicer, Duncan, Blaser) formed the core.
Spicer was so serious about the appellation, "The Berkeley Renaissance," that he often cited his birth year as 1946, when he met Duncan.
Spicer was most certainly a difficult person, --moody, alcoholic, impoverished, intensely loyal and intensely distancing, as well as physically challenged with a body that fought with his sense of being a producer of beauty. His homosexuality played no small part in his various difficulties; his search for a partner or partners never took, or at least not untraumatically, or for very long. Love eventually, to his eye, always betrayed him. His relationships foundered as, not unrelated, his health also foundered, and at the young age of 40 he lapsed into a hepatic coma from which he would never recover. To me, what is poetically important about Spicer is his commitment to Love, as well as his commitment to the Word. These are not separate. Nor is his death separate from his life, but his is a very long, involved, unresolvable story. Lew Ellingham and Kevin Killian's biography, Poet, Be Like God, does an admirable job giving a portrait of the poet and his milieu. But to a certain extent, to get at the poetry, we need to hold off a little on what we know about his life, giving the poetry an opportunity at an independent life.
Several things Spicer is famous for now are the serial poem, dictation, and writing in the unit of the book. All of these are more complicated than they became in the sound bytes of cultish devotion following his death, its protective postscript, and his consequent puppyish following—and suddenly, now, in the glow of (present) growing fame. These are all interesting concepts and Spicer's forays into explaining them as documented in Peter Gizzi's volume of his Vancouver Lectures (The House that Jack Built) make for fascinating reading. Or, as I mentioned, you can listen to them on PennSound. However, the ideas aren't what made the poems. Further, Spicer was pretty drunk while lecturing.
The new Collected gives us a chance to get to know a Spicer by his poems. All of the externals--the lectures, the biography, the sparkly concepts, the reminiscences--are important, but as Burton Hatlen importantly noted more than twenty years ago, no one has yet treated Spicer's poetry "as language." As great as Robin Blaser's essay that concludes the 1975 version of "The Collected Books of Jack Spicer," is--it had one unfortunate side effect. It paved the way for critics to turn Spicer's poetry into commentary and philosophic experiment, rather than living language. The poems were "interesting." They were "experiments." That is, largely, they were treated as prose. As something to comment on rather than to get lost in, be confused by, or fall in love with. Interest and experiment must come from poetry and not be brought to it. We now have the chance to treat the poems, rather than attempting to divine the principles which produced the poems. There is plenty of time to revel in the externals. The poetry's excellence will inevitably produce interest in what surrounded the production of the poetry and the poet. But this is a different enterprise, not mutually exclusive, but different, from reading poetry.
It is a lucky time to love Spicer's work. There are more people to talk with about it, more with whom to delectate over it-- and, hopefully, more patient critics to give us new ways into the workings of the poems. And no matter what else, there is this f*cking gorgeous new edition that feels great in the hand and frames the poems perfectly.

Take vodka, my brother.
We're alone in the green trellised tumbledown.
Built by a disgraced Lieutenant General.
Well, disgraced when we remember him. Best to forget.
He died of soft brain
and will not bother us, and I must tell,
Alyosha, in dreams, I twist my shirt
beneath the willow,
and I am planning, beneath absolutely pathetic limbs,
planning, think:
there is a trunk amid those wisps,
there is death in a shirt.
And need be, suspenders. I wake happy.
I am not afraid, Alyosha, a day like any of my life.
But, Mitya, you forget: a day like any, yes,
perhaps, but shorter.
I stopped opening the cabinet
when I decided brandy was bad for me.
That was threeish.
Six, Smerdyakov waked me.
I feel robustly thirsty.
In Russia, of course,
if you are the son of Fyodor,
you are Fyodorovich. Is the boy my son?
With Reeking Lizaveta? Who scaled my fence
to bear him and die? Crazy, smocked, there for a dare
Lizaveta? Well then, Fyodorovich. But Reeking,
so: Smerdyakov Fyodorovich.
His soul is stump-legged.
His eyes reflect light
like a dog's.
Tonight, he will sleep in the house.
Tonight, I want company.
He whimpers like a dog
before his fits.
Perhaps only that's why I trust him.

For those of you (like myself) for whom being read to is like being a kitten licked by a mama cat, I'm sure you've had your share of audiobooks. I can highly suggest George Guidell (great readings of Kafka and Joyce) and others were I pressed to.
But for deeper pleasures, I want to encourage anyone who has not yet done so to visit PennSound. http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/ An amazing resource, an unmatched resource. From Jack Spicer to Gertrude Stein to my all-time favorite reader on the site, George Oppen. The folks behind this project are not just to be thanked but to be licked back. N.B. For Spicer, I do not encourage you to listen to the lectures. The Gizzi transcript does them more justice by my estimation. Listen instead to the poems. Or at least, start with the poems.

Under the pool blue sky,
noon's skim moon,
your scarf, once round,
flies its rough colors.
much celebration forced upon it
So much celebration forced upon it
by niggling fingers and pointy sticks
and a vicious, a hungry
There now:
round your neck.

I had the extreme good luck of being introduced to Jack Spicer's poetry in a graduate course I took with Michael Moon at Duke. He brought in the "Poetry as Magic" questionnaire, what was then available of "The Unvert Manifesto" and its accompanying "Oliver Charming" diaries, the entirety of After Lorca, and some other selections. I fell in love deeply and instantly and have ever since remained in love. And now, it is my great good luck that Kevin Killian and Peter Gizzi have edited a beautiful, new collected Spicer, entitled my vocabulary did this to me: The Collected Poems of Jack Spicer. If you don't yet have it, it is a book no poetry lover can do without. Not because it is "necessary," but precisely because it is "unnecessary" in all the right ways.
My affair began with great good luck. I was visiting San Francisco one break and while browsing at Different Light, chanced across, for $10!, the 1974/1975 issue of Manroot devoted to Spicer. This lead me to the therein oft-cited Caterpillar 12 issue, edited by Clayton Eshleman. So much delicious material. My obsession lead me far and wide--to Maria Damon's brilliant chapter on Spicer in her The Dark End of the Street: Margins in American Vanguard Poetry, to Michael Davidson's right-on work on Spicer in The San Francisco Renaissance: Poetics and Community at Mid-Century and to Peter Gizzi's crucial The House that Jack Built: The Collected Lectures of Spicer.
No one wants to hear the stories of how happy couples got together. Big yawn. So, in the next couple posts I'm going to tell all about how this affair went awry, and I'll be nearly honest. It isn't that I don't still love, nor have been counseled on loving too much... no, I had to go and enter what Spicer basically spat out when he mentioned it: "The English Department." And that, as some guy once said, made all the difference.

Post-Oscar Masked Ball 2009
Haute couture dragons spew smoke.
A huge boar snorts, then unhoofs his snout of coke.
Flasks pass—each with double-jointed
levered caps. It all feels
so World War One.
Then a pocket goes crazy disco.
And then
:Yes, all the plays do have nice homosexuals, but the musicals are nice
:Gimlet...Gin's the new Vodka. And lime...
:Every bistro, though, fried frisée. And drizzled drastic reductions!
:Poodles are in again and still trimmed like hedges.
Drinks arrive,--
a tray retreats.
But the vibe changed.
Nixon was the first to notice.
Then Missus Claus.
Einstein couldn't, K-holed,
but a Mario Brother burped Yup.
Unrolling like sod toward them.
Or like a memory
of the seventies
flipping flat at their feet.
And from the fog
hellish beasts.
They stumbled in
with the rest
for refills.
Princess Diana is a mess
above the Marquis de Sade's smashed forehead.
No, no, she says—
King Tutankhamun seemed squeamish, or scared,--
I'm stuffed, wiping her chin. Really stuffered.
O, May I
Your Majesty
call you Tut?
Precision-licking one last tidbit:
Regardless do call me Di,--
everybody does.

Just a quick note to say (sob) goodbye - I meant to come back yesterday and talk about the new exhibition at Tate Modern, Rodchenko and Popova: Defining Constructivism. So maybe you've had a lucky escape. I was going to call it "The Great Mistake" (no secrets there then; though I surprised myself) and I was going to do a companion piece on my own blog called "The Great Silence" - two virtually simultaneous posts mirroring each other across the internet... it's like the romance of the open seas...
But the whole conceit was scuppered by my laptop battery playing up! Surely that's constructivism of a sort! (Actually...) It'll take me a couple of days no doubt, but I think there will be a couple of posts on Baroque in due course.
And I was going to tell you about my fellow Salt poet, Chris McCabe, but it is also too late for that. It's like being on holiday somewhere for a week, there's always a thing you never had a chance to see...
So I will just say thanks again to the Best American Poetry team for asking me to spend a week here. It's been tremendous fun. And I look forward to reading John Emil Vincent.

A lovely, lazy Saturday - and there's even some sun! Spring, and globally warmed, too: over a brick wall there is a branch of a rosebush, with a strange, desultory half-opened baby rose bud on it. Yellow, dirtyish.
Anyway, we dozed half the morning till woken up by a resentful young person: "You two aren't awake!" - amid strange dreams. In due course, after coffee and laundry, the three of us walked down the road to the local cafe for a bit of lunch. Coming out after the banoffie pie, the young person in question - my partner's 14-year-old daughter - points to a shop sign across the road."Look, look!" Tones of disgust." They've got it all wrong, they've spelt - " then she sees it: Professionails. "Ohhhhhhh," she groans. "It's a PUN... it's a pun! I get it. Profession-nails, it's a..."
"What?" says her dad. "What was that?"
I am in the middle of explaining it to him, pointing across the road, when I see the little sign on the door of the cafe: "Wanted. Professonal writer."

# 50
Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
The union of this ever-diverse pair!
These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.
Lovers beneath the singing sky of May,
They wandered once; clear as the dew on flowers:
But they fed not on the advancing hours:
Their hearts held cravings for the buried day.
Then each applied to each that fatal knife,
Deep questioning, which probes to endless dole.
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul
When hot for certainties in this our life!--
In tragic hints here see what evermore
Moves dark as yonder midnight ocean's force,
Thundering like ramping hosts of warrior horse,
To throw that faint thin line upon the shore!
-- George Meredith

So, it's late last night, and I'm still puzzling over this Frost poem (posted below). I mean this thing is nagging at me. In a low-level way. I'm not a maniac (mostly). But the Tommy Lee Jones movie I'm watching has just ended, and I'm wondering about "The Lockless Door." I have the one-volume abridgment of the Lawrence Thompson biography, so I pull it down and this is what I find on pages 93-94: Frost was afraid of the dark!
In the summer of 1895, he followed Elinor White and her sister to Ossipee Mountain in New Hampshire. He rented what amounted to a shack (with a lockless door!) in order to be near her. In the event, he was alone much of the time. His fear of the dark—with him from childhood—was so great, that he slept that summer with his pants on just in case.
Then one night there was a knock at the door, and Frost freaked out. He climbed out the window and called "Come In" back over the sill, just like in the poem. When the door started to open, he ran for it, spending the night hiding out in the woods basically. Sometime after dawn, he crept back to the house to find his neighbor passed out on the kitchen floor "as though dead": he had stopped on his way home, to sleep off a bender. The experience, Thompson says, haunted Frost's dreams for years. The poem, he suggests, was "perhaps motivated in part by the hope that he might rid himself of the whole thing."
Here's proof that biography only gets you so far: I know now what motivated the poem and some of the actual events referred to, but I still can't say what the tenor (subject) of the poem really is. And on some level I don't really need to know for sure. There's something of the allegory or fable to the thing, an indeterminacy that allows it to resonate deep in the psyche. The brilliant bastard!

(Or: "A and An, O and OH")
Well, this isn't exactly about poetry. It may even be anti-poetry. It is about using words and language, though. Because what I do in my day job is writing, editing, copy-editing, preparing texts for publication, producing publications, even designing styles for organisations. Currently I'm working on issues to do with a large-scale rebranding.
So anyway, last week, after months of procrastination - no, years of procrastination - I hauled off and went on my local internet warehouse bookseller and bought my very own copy of the Chicago Manual of Style. It's so exciting! (Even with the discount it was £30. It had better be exciting.) It knocks Strunk and White, I'm afraid, into a teeny little cocked hat.
So here it sits on my desk, all orange and typographically lovely, shiny, hardback and three inches thick. I was reading it. It's no less amusing than The Elements of Style, and a hell of a lot more thorough and authoritative. Thorough and authoritative is what I like. I've found (sadly) that almost any example of poor usage is enough to amuse me, so I don't need the conscientious tomfoolery of S&W to keep me interested. I arrived at work feeling utterly validated - almost as a human being! - the day I was reading on the train that the Chicago Manual doesn't even recommend punctuation after a bullet-point list.
In fact, they had an example where you don't even have the bullets. Talk about empowering!
Ever since I was called a pedant in fourth grade and my dad thought it was amusing to refer to me as "Grandma" (a Beverley Hillbillies reference) I've been obsessed with grammatical, usage, typographical and puncutation-based rights and wrongs - as if it were a moral issue where you place your quotation marks, and are they single ones - 'like this' - English-style (or is that just old-fashioned?), or big fat American double ones, "like this?" Punctuation in or out? Is your slip showing or is it like tastefully exposed beams? Subject abnd verb disagreement shows you up as a sloppy thinker: I wouldn't trust your ideas. I wouldn't trust your poem.
So the issue is this, and maybe I've just answered my own question. To what extent is this love of the rules, of the forms of typographical expression, of the forms of language itself, to what extent is it inimical to creative expression? To the plasticity you need to be able to create art out of a material? (Language is a material.) Or dies it create strictures that facilitate creation? Does it create a whole class of possibilities that's lost on people who don't can't parse a sentence?

Look, I know everyone's got way too much junk mail clogging their inboxes. Far be it from me to suggest adding to the daily wafts of e-ffluvia. I must unsubscribe to about five unwanted e-mail lists a day, and I still have enough spam to see me through to spring.
But here's one daily e-mail I always look forward to (along with the 5-string banjo list, and Scuttlebutt, about boats getting thrashed in mid-ocean): it's a poem-a-day sent out by About.com and chosen by Simran Khurana. Who is she? Does she actually exist? Here's a photo of her from the site:
I'm am crazy about her. It's like poetic philocaption. I just love that she sends me poetry—really good poetry!—every day. And she will send it to you, too!
It's classic stuff: Yeats, Frost, Stevenson, Dickinson—all public domain, of course, and all worth a look. I'm constantly surprised to find a classic poem that I really didn't know that well or that I hadn't thought of in a long time.
Here is Frost's "The Lockless Door," which Simran sent me last week. It's a killer. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what's going on in this poem? I've got some ideas, but, man, this thing is mysterious. It just keeps opening up.
The Lockless Door
It went many years,
But at last came a knock,
And I thought of the door
With no lock to lock.
I blew out the light,
I tip-toed the floor,
And raised both hands
In prayer to the door.
But the knock came again
My window was wide;
I climbed on the sill
And descended outside.
Back over the sill
I bade a "Come in"
To whoever the knock
At the door may have been.
So at a knock
I emptied my cage
To hide in the world
And alter with age.

The cuddly Cockney teddy bear poet Tim Wells exposes his love for American popular culture (just be lucky I'm not giving you the Rock Hudson one. Buy the book.)
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Back in the day I didn't have a washing machine. Instead I'd take my laundry up
Stamford Hill. There was a closer launderette, with a downhill walk, but the
woman who handed out the washing powder and did the service washes was
psychic. I'd heard her tell about illness, tragedies and heart's secrets many a
time. I didn't want her handling my smalls.
So I'd take my bundle up the hill and sit and read the paper as my shirts
and trousers sudded and span. The woman there was notable in that she'd wear
plastic Safeway bags on her feet, with slippers over them. This was before the
coming of Morrisons.
Once I was there waiting on the machine and perusing the paper. A fellow
came in to collect his wash. The old woman handed him a neatly folded pile of
fresh clothes. He thanked her. She said, 'I found this in your wash …' and
handed him a gleaming bullet.
He blushed, looked to the floor, palmed it and gave an embarrassed thanks.
The film that night was Tyrone Power in Jesse James.
And here is the Forward-shortlisted Turnbull production:
Ode on a Grayson Perry Urn
Hello! What's all this here? A kitschy vase
some Shirley Temple manqué has knocked out
delineating tales of kids in cars
on crap estates, the Burberry clad louts
who flail their motors through the smoky night
from Manchester to Motherwell or Slough,
creating bedlam on the Queen's highway.
Your gaudy evocation can, somehow,
conjure the scene without inducing fright,
as would a Daily Express exposé,
can bring to mind the throaty turbo roar
of hatchbacks tuned almost to breaking point,
the joyful throb of UK garage or
of house imported from the continent
and yet educe a sense of peace, of calm –
the screech of tyres and the nervous squeals
of girls, too young to quite appreciate
the peril they are in, are heard, but these wheels
will not lose traction, skid and flip, no harm
befall these children. They will stay out late
forever, pumped on youth and ecstasy,
on alloy, bass and arrogance and speed
the back lanes, the urban gyratory,
the wide motorways, never having need
to race back home, for work next day, to bed.
Each girl is buff, each geezer toned and strong,
charged with pulsing juice which, even yet,
fills every pair of Calvins and each thong,
never to be deflated, given head
in crude games of chlamydia roulette.
Now see who comes to line the sparse grass verge,
to toast them in Buckfast and Diamond White:
rat-boys and corn-rowed cheerleaders who urge
them on to pull more burn-outs or to write
their donut Os, as signature, upon
the bleached tarmac of dead suburban streets.
There dogs set up a row and curtains twitch
as pensioners and parents telephone
the cops to plead for quiet, sue for peace –
tranquillity, though, is for the rich.

In Hackney, in East London, where I live, we have a little blog tradition, where on a Wednesday we like to post up a picture of someone going beyond the call of duty in the line of elegance or style. We call this Elegantly Dressed Wednesday. It was started by my friend Ben Locker, and I like to carry the tradition on in this sad age of "fanny packs" and feed caps.
The subjects of the above picture - Tim Turnbull and Tim Wells (or, clockwise, Wells and Turnbull, aka "the tall one")- are certainly no slouches when it comes to their appearance. They couldn't look more disreputable, in a thoroughly respectable way, if they tried. In more ways than one. The two had their debut collections published in the same month, by the same publisher, Donut Press. They were the first two full collections published by Donut Press. They were also both shortlisted for Best First Collection in the Forward Prize.
Both these poets usually operate well outside the usual safe territory of the Forward Prize - that is, they are seen as mainly "performance" poets, at home in the smokiest East End pubs, fast-talking, mic-wielding, rude-word-shouting, drunken ruffians of the poetry night, surrounded by poets' molls in a (pre-ban, that is) fug of smoke.
The fact that the prize went to someone else does nothing to diminish the achievement of both the two Tims (as they are known) and Donut Press itself, in breaking through the barriers and bringing some fine, quirky writing to wider attention.

Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel lie
Emptied of its poetry.
and this chunk of Blake
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
Here's them with their rhymes switched:
Could frame thy fearful symmetry
Emptied of its poetry,
What immortal hand or eye,
Let the Irish vessel lie?
Word to the wise.

A Toast for Archie's Birthday
To you who drink clear water from a clean wooden bowl
held up by hands that can be counted when raised
in the high terrain: they contain numberless fingers
for you have multiplied infinity by zero, spelled
the product, and won the bee that buzzes like a heaven-
sent distraction around your lampshade hat,
waking worldly hopes from their slumber of faithful
charity: to you who know how to seize the day by
the waist as it went and in fifteen instructive minutes
subtract two hundred cumbersome calories by blasting
matter into the energy of which we shall always have
a shortage: with thanks for your penetrating analysis of
the profoundest depths of love, down in the darkest womb
of winter, from which shall spring the offspring
of May: your happiness I drink, your birthday I praise.
-- David Lehman
This poem was written for A. R. ("Archie") Ammons on the occasion of his birthday, February 18, 1982.

Yeah even after reading your last post you're talking about something completely different

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to johnsonrod27
Sounds good. I have also had stalled uploads and slow uploads which then grinds networking to a halt (unless in a super-strong LTE location), but it sounds like you guys believe that this is yet another different problem. If so, that's fine. I haven't had to toggle Airplane mode though since swapping my nano SIM, before then, I had to do it all the time.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
I have the 32 GB iPhone 5 and didn't have any issues for the first 2 weeks. Then, suddenly with Verizon LTE (4 to 5 bars), I can't use apps like Facebook, Instagram, Foodspotting, and the weather doesn't update.
I took the phone to the Apple store on 10/12/12 and they said they never heard of this issue with the iPhone 5. The Apple tech did a reset of the network settings and closed all the apps that were active on the phone. That helped for a few hours and then the same issue happened. I called Verizon on 10/13/12 and they said this wasn't a known issue and they told me to do a hard reset. I did that, and the phone worked again for a few hours, and then the same issue occurred again. Today, 10/15/12, I took the phone back to Apple and they replaced the SIM card. I had to call Verizon from the Apple store to activate the new SIM card. Everything worked great for about 2 hours, and now the same issue is happening again. The same issue occurs in Northern New Jersey and Southern New Jersey so it's not a cell phone tower issue. The LTE connection just hangs, and gives me server errors, unable to connect, upload failed, etc. I made another appointment tomorrow 10/16/12 and will be asking for a replacement phone. If that doesn't work, I'm disputing the phone on my Amex card. I cannot believe the phone is less than 3 weeks old and I've had to bring it in to Apple twice already. Ridiculous.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to nj nick
njnick It sounds like we are experiencing the exact same problem. I have done every step I can think of besides replacing the sim card which it sounds like you already did without success. On the other hand I have had my iphone replaced at an apple store without success.
Whatever is causing this problem doesn't appear to be user fixable and either Verizon or Apple will need to take the time to figure it out. From what we can gather is that the issue will crop up at random while LTE is enabled and will continue until one of the previously mentioned temporary fixes is applied. The problem will then clear up for a few hours and then its back again, preventing upload of data on the LTE network.
I like this phone and want to get this problem fixed. It doesn't appear to be an issue with every Verizon iPhone 5 or I'm sure there would be more complaints and coverage in the press. I'm getting the same blank stares at Apple/Verizon stores and claims that no one else is calling their tech support about the issue. What that means to me is that it hasn't been elevated along with the standard first teir customer service who deny any issues exist.
I have just about finished every troubleshooting step a customer can reasonably be asked to do. At this point we have to put more pressure on Apple/Verizon tech support to elevate our LTE issue. I'll continue to press on my end but I want anyone effected with this specific issue to politely add your experience to the thread. Hopefully some traffic here will get Verizon/Apple to pay attention.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
I have the 16 GB Verizon iPhone 5 and have this issue everytime I disconnect a call. So while on LTE, if I get a call or make a call and then disconnect it, some of the apps like Appstore, iTunes, Gmail etc wont connect. I am however able to browse through Safari.
I have tried every possible setting but no difference. Toggling Airplane mode fixes it temporarily, till I get the next call.
I have contacted the Verizon tech support and their suggested options like reset network settings etc only worked for few hours. Next step is to contact Apple, but from reading all the replies above, the hope of an easy fix is gone.
I hope this is another problem which can be fixed by a Verizon patch.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Cooleyrobb
I have the same problem, In Cherry Hill, NJ and Center City Philly, after a voice call , zero upload speeds.
Sagnew Oct 16, 2012 4:38 PM
Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
Same problem in center city Philadelphia. For a few hours a day I won't be able to send e-mail, instagrams, facetime etc over LTE
After a reset all will be fine for a few hours and then uplaods can not work again.
Cooleyrobb Oct 16, 2012 4:50 PM
Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
It only happens after a voice call over a minute. Soon as you end the voice call LTE uploads do not work. Verizon is sending me a new SIM card to see if that's the problem. I already swapped phones so I know that's not the issue.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
I am having the same issue. Has anyone confirmed if restoring as a new phone fixes it? Does at&t iphone have the same issues? This is frustrating that the issue has not been resolved and the fact that Verison techs have not heard of this nor has apple. I am having a hard time believing no one has heard of this problem from either side. Sounds more like no one wants to admit a problem. Mostley Verizon to avoid giving credits on accounts.
Cooleyrobb Oct 16, 2012 6:10 PM
Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to jack1971
I agree Jack. When I talked to the "senior tech" he told me he worked on iPhones 5's for the past 3 months and he said he never heard of this problem at all. I'm like wow!!
nj nick Oct 16, 2012 7:02 PM
Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to Tomcali
update: went to Apple for the 3rd time tonight. This is the 3rd time I've been there for the same issue. The tech at the Genius Bar told me he had the iPhone 5 on Verizon and had the same issues with Verizon LTE, so he went back to AT&T. He said he recommended that I return the phone to Verizon because replacing the phone would not address the issue. I called Verizon to ask them to take the phone back for a refund, but they refused, stating they would only take it back after 14 days and now I've had the phone for 22 days. They stated they had not heard of anyone having issues with their iPhone 5 not connecting to Verizon LTE, and I told Verizon they were wrong, and referred them to this forum. The Verizon tech support supervisor was contacted and they were reading this thread while they were on the phone with me, and stated they didn't know this was a "known issue"
They also stated they have contacted an even more senior tech support rep, and they would contact me in 24 to 48 hours. They gave me a ticket # and said they would refer to this thread in my "notes" on my account.
They also put me in contact with Apple support, who stated that the Genius Bar tech misinformed me and that I should not return the phone, but instead do a reset (back my phone up first and then set it up as a new iPhone). I followed the steps to do an entire reset of the software with Apple support guiding me through it all. I set up the phone as a new iPhone. When it all finished, the phone said "there is an update to your carrier settings. Do you want to update the settings? I clicked yes, and I set up the phone as a new iPhone.
Within the 1st 10 minutes, it worked super fast--4G LTE connected to all sites I tried on Safari. Then, after about 20 minutes of activity, and after making several phone calls, the 4G LTE at 4 bars and 5 bars couldn't connect to apps like Facebook, and the weather failed to update. I spoke with Apple support and the tech did some troubleshooting with me and said he hadn't seen anything like this and even asked for screenshots of the LTE wheel spinning but failure to connect. I sent the screenshots to him and he said he was going to send me a replacement phone, which I should receive on Thursday 10/18. I'll keep you updated, but I'm not so confident that the new replacement phone will work.

Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to nj nick
I'm wondering if this is more of an east coast problem.
Tomcali Oct 17, 2012 9:51 AM
Re: iPhone 5 Verizon LTE problem in response to sdyoyo
I've replaced the sim card and will be using the phone throughout the day to see if the LTE upload drops out. I got on the phone with Verizon and they said they are unaware of any customers experiencing issues in the north east. They did agree that there is nothing more that I can do locally and if the issue continues today they will open up a trouble ticket to their network technicians. I'll take any progress I can get at this point.
Feel free to point Verizon to this thread to show other people are having the same specific issue with LTE upload.

Self mission
from A Tribe Called Quest (Ft. Large Professor) – Keep It Rollin' Lyrics on Genius
This was Large Professor's first solo appearance after leaving the group Main Source. The "two DJs" he disses here are his former partners Sir Scratch and K-Cut. Calling them DJs is a dig at their role in the group which apparently included some co-production as well as scratching.
K-Cut would come through with beats and we'd hook them up together.
Large Pro went on to have a pretty successful solo career (although the album he mentions later was shelved by the label). The two DJs carried on as Main Source but disappeared after their comeback album was shelved.

In the proposed rule, the EPA suggested the strategies of improved water management, covered storage or additional storage to meet the no discharge criteria. While improved water management and additional storage may aid in manure management, covered storage was viewed as the only way to guarantee compliance with the "no overflow under any circumstances" wording of the rule. EPA staff have repeatedly indicated that all swine manure storage structures would need to be covered in some way to meet the rule's requirements.

Originally written on Diehardsport | Last updated 11/17/14
Texas Tech Head Coach Tommy Tuberville has been on the hot seat this year, and he was visibly frustrated during their game against Kansas. I don't blame him for being frustrated though, having to go to double overtime with a team that is 1-9 is absolutely terrible. He just might want to be careful with getting physical with some of his assistants in the future; that points to all sorts of legal trouble.Here's how Tubberville responded to the slap following the game:"He was on the field, I reached to grab him and pull him off, and when I pulled I missed his shirt and I grabbed his facemask — or his microphone — and it just ripped off his head," Tuberville said. "I was trying to get him off the field."

Mrs. Margaret Peterson Snyder, 97, died on Dec. 3, 2009, at Crane's Mill Life Care Center in West Caldwell. She was the wife of the late Wilbur D. Snyder. A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, Caldwell, on Friday, Dec. 11, 2009, at 1 p.m. Internment is private. Arrangements are through the Dancy Funeral Home. Born and raised in Bayfield, Wisc., Mrs. Snyder "came east" to attend college, living first in Newark. After marriage, Margaret and Wilbur, known to friends as "Pete and Pud," bought a home in North Caldwell where they lived for almost 50 years. The Snyder's were one of the first to sign up for Crane's Mill and Margaret moved there after Wilbur's death. She was an elementary school teacher in Belleville for 37 years. Mrs. Snyder received a bachelor's degree from Newark State Teacher's College, now Kean University in Union. She maintained ties through the Alumni Association and had been one of the oldest participating members of her class. In addition, she was a member of the National Education Association, the N.J. Education Association and the Retired Essex County Teacher's Association. An active member of the First Presbyterian Church at Caldwell, Mrs. Snyder participated in the Mary-Martha Circle, a men and women's study group meeting for over 20 years, as well as Women's Fellowship, including service as treasurer. In addition, she was a supporter of Fairview Lake YMCA Camps in Newton where her husband was a counselor, camp craft leader, carver of totem poles and council rings and eventually camp director over a 15-year period. She proudly saw her daughter, Susan, and grandson, Billy, also serve Fairview Lake YMCA Camps. She is survived by her daughter, Susan; her son-in-law, Ted Day, and grandchildren, Becky and Billy. She is also survived by her sister, Dorothy Brewster, of Bethlehem, Pa.; her brother and sister-in-law, Donald and Irma Peterson of Franklin Grove, Ill., and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Fairview Lake YMCA Camps or the West Essex First Aid Squad.

Hurry up! Scholarship application deadline is approaching!
Are you an accounting student, or do you know an accounting student? There are plenty of scholarships available for accounting students, including the $1,000 AccountingWEB Accounting Student Scholarship, but application deadlines are approaching. If you are or know someone who is planning on attending school in the fall as an accounting student, make sure you check out all of the scholarships available.
Many accounting firms and professional organizations offer scholarships to students pursuing a career in accounting. We've done much of the legwork and have compiled a comprehensive list of nearly 70 scholarships geared toward accounting students. Some are local, requiring residence in a particular state, and many are national, meaning anyone can apply. Some require essays (like ours!), others simply require an application. Don't let anyone tell you there are too many applicants for these scholarships so it's not worth your time - start applying today and you might be surprised. All of these organizations have set aside money for these programs and want to give that money away.
Best regards,

You will have achievements at work, but you will need to work overtime.
Pay attention to a colleague! He/she seems not to be happy with your success and will try to trap you into a fight.
Your loved one will feel upset with your having to work overtime. You may need to postpone a visit that you have planned for today.

There is a certain procedure that has to be followed on a road trip.
My family recently took such a trip to Denver to visit my daughter and her family. We've done this a few times and by now we have the drill down.
First of all, the directions are easy. Drive south, hit I-70, turn right and go about 1,200 miles. Presto! We're there.
We've done the trip in one day before, but we have long since decided that breaking it into two days is a much better concept. First day to Topeka, second day to Denver.
This time around, my wife already had flown to Denver. That left the trip up to my two sons and me.
The first project was the snacks. It's a Lindeman tradition that long road trips must include large quantities of junk food. I think this started when my children were younger and food was a good way to keep a civil war from breaking out in the back seat. Anyway, with the matriarch of the family already in Denver, it fell to my youngest son to load up on food for the trip.
Two coolers full of healthy American cuisine, including: Pretzels with peanut butter filling, peanut butter and cheese crackers, gummy bears (don't ask), Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, iced tea, Cheese Nips, M&Ms (plain, peanut and peanut butter) and the three items required for any road trip — Junior Mints, Swedish fish and Mike and Ikes. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there also was water, apples and blueberries just in case someone had an unaccountable urge for real food.
My youngest son goes down the list for my oldest son, who after hearing about all the food says, "What, no chips?" So at our first stop we have to add chips and chewing gum. I do not allow Doritos, however. They have been illegal in any car I own ever since a Boy Scout trip many years ago when it took me months to get the smell of Doritos combined with the smell of a gang of young boys out of my car. I drove with the windows open for a year.
Once all our stuff was loaded, and my oldest son put in his golf clubs, and we packed the van full of items I had to take because the trip included a convention I was attending for work, we discovered things were getting a little crowded. We had to make some space for CDs to listen to and a few books to read. That left precious little space for clothes, but who needs a lot of things to wear? Well, my wife would, but she already was there so it was no problem. We pulled out of Troy and headed west.
Here's the thing about driving on I-70 west: it's pretty easy except for when you hit construction, which is like the entire state of Illinois. The trick is to hit the big cities — Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City — at the right time. It really doesn't matter too much what time you hit Denver because about a zillion people are moving there and it only has a couple roads that can handle any traffic.
There is a feeling among most travelers that driving across Kansas is a real drag. It's really not as bad as most people say, mainly because there is hardly any traffic. There's hardly any scenery, either, but being from Ohio I hardly think I have a right to complain. Besides, there are lots of cool wind turbines to look at. One more thing: Kansas is way better than eastern Colorado, which is really ugly.
That all changes when you get to Denver. Mountains! Not something you see every day, or ever, in Ohio.
We have a great week in Denver but before you know it, it's time to go home. We have a problem – oops, that's probably not the right word to use. We have a challenge, because my wife is riding back with us as is a bunch of extra stuff I picked up at the convention. We partially solve this by sending back some luggage on a plane with our friends from work who also were at the convention. Then we just cram everything into the back of the van – after reloading our snacks, of course.
The drive home is fairly uneventful. We stop in Columbia, Mo., this time – it's always best to get more than half of the trip out of the way on the first day. In fact, we cross five states over and five states back and only run into problems in Ohio, where a trucker for some inexplicable reason decides to jump into the lane next to him, which is already occupied by us. My youngest son is driving at the time. He is amped up on Swedish fish and other healthy food options, and hence has lighting fast sugar-induced reflexes. He adroitly dodges the truck and averts disaster.
Whew! We make it home – only to find a pile of work waiting, weeds in the flower beds, grass that apparently is growing an inch an hour even though someone mowed it for us while we were gone and a missing tree in the front yard.
It's enough to make someone want to go on a road trip …

Gardasil HPV Vaccine (cont.)
In this Article
How common is cervical cancer?
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2014, over 12,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and approximately 4,020 women will die from this disease.
Will the girls/women who have been vaccinated still need cervical cancer screening?
Yes, they will still need to see their healthcare provider for cervical cancer screening. There are three reasons why women will still need regular cervical cancer screening. First, the vaccine will NOT provide protection against all types of HPV that cause cervical cancer, so women will still be at risk for some cancers. Second, some women may not get all required doses of the vaccine (or they may not get them at the right times), so they may not get the vaccine's full benefits. Third, women may also not get the vaccine's full benefits if they have already acquired a vaccine HPV type.
Why is the vaccine only recommended for females ages 9 through 26?
The vaccine has been extensively tested in 9 through 26 year-old females so information is only available about vaccine safety and protection for girls/women of this age group. However, studies on the vaccine are now being done in boys/men, as well as in women older than 26 years of age. The FDA will consider licensing the vaccine for these other groups when there is research to show that it is safe and effective in these groups.
Why is HPV vaccine recommended for girls 11 to 12 years of age?
It is important for girls to get HPV vaccine before they become sexually active. The vaccine is most effective for girls/women who get vaccinated before their first sexual contact. It does not work as well for those who were exposed to the virus before getting the vaccine. It is now recommended for boys in the same age group, but has not been apprived for feemales over 26.

Terror suspect Abu Qatada released from British jail
Published on Nov 14, 2012 6:29 AM
LONDON (AFP) - British authorities reluctantly released terror suspect Abu Qatada on bail on Tuesday after judges ruled that the radical cleric dubbed Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe should not be extradited to Jordan.
Heavily bearded and wearing a black cap, the Islamist preacher smiled slightly as he was driven out of the high-security Long Lartin prison in central England in the back of a black minibus.
Several hours later, a small group of protesters gathered outside Abu Qatada's house in north-west London and chanted slogans calling for his deportation, as the father-of-five arrived at his modest terraced home.
The court ruling on Monday was a severe blow for the British government, which has kept the preacher in custody for most of the last 10 years and repeatedly tried to send him to Jordan.

I was looking over the USA today article covering the Reds going into next year and it struck me how dominant our bullpen could be.
Say what you want about Cordero, his save % was still good last year. If he gets around to using his slider up around 30-35% (like he used to in his best years) we should see his K% come back up and BB% go down. Something to look for. That said, who will score on the Reds in the 7th and 8th inning with this:Bullpen
Left-hander Arthur Rhodes (4-4, 2.49 ERA) was magnificent last season in making his first All-Star team at 40, but he left as a free agent. As a result, Nick Masset, Bill Bray and Jared Burton will have to carry the load. The Reds are also looking for a return to form from Jose Arredondo, who went 10-2 with a 1.69 ERA for the Los Angeles Angels in 2008 but missed last season after having elbow surgery. He's also tough on left-handers, which should help ease the loss of Rhodes. Chapman and his triple-digit fastball will be a familiar sight in the eighth and possibly seventh innings.
8th inning
Chapman - LHRP
Masset - RHRP
Two high K guys with lock-down, awesome stuff. Good morning, good afternoon, and good night.
7th inning
Bray / Willis - LHRP
Burton / Ondrusek / Arredondo - RHRP
Opponent's avg could altogether be well below .200 vs these situational guys.
6th inning or Long Relief
One of 3 blue chip starters could end up as the long man in the bullpen, effectively closing any possible holes in the bullpen. Suitable in any situation, when needed these guys can deliver.
Basically, this team could ride the bullpen to the playoffs similar to San Diego. Just asking the starters to cross the 6th inning will be all that's required, and on days they go 7 or 8, it's just a luxury. I can't see many W's turned into no decisions, either. In all, it's a perfect scenario to keep young arms happy and healthy.
I'm speaking nothing of the offense, which should be solid, at least, but this pitching staff is in brilliant shape.

Waseem Saddique Marketing Services: Tips for Creating Crowd Pleasing YouTube Videos
Waseem Saddique Marketing Services offers a comprehensive guide to utilising YouTube to maximise the potential of an online marketing campaign as Christmas 2012 fast approaches.
(PRWEB) December 20, 2012
Waseem Saddique says: "Let´s start with the facts. According to recent research conducted by Nielsen, current figures concerning the use of online video and YouTube have hit astronomical heights. The document highlights that in the USA alone some 15 billion videos were streamed. Online video viewing has increased by around 35% since 2011 and video viewed via a mobile device has risen by around 20%."
YouTube has proved overwhelmingly popular and arguably dominates the online video domain. A staggering 35 hours of video is uploaded onto YouTube ℠every 60 seconds´.
The competition to attract attention via YouTube is fierce; therefore a well-planned strategy is required to ℠hit the heights´ with a YouTube marketing campaign.
Here are a few pointers:
1. First things first — Create captivating videos, this is the most obvious factor. Your YouTube video(s) should be tailored to feature content that meets the requirements of your audience´s needs. Avoid making a ℠business documentary´ and remain focused on what will prove to be attractive to your consumers. Tell them about promotions, offers and competitions that your business may be running. It´s important to keep your video informative, yet engaging, so consider producing ℠how-to´ videos etc"¦
2. Utilise other social media mediums — Extend the reach of your video even further by integrating it with other popular forms of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Consider a blog site and for every new online video that you create release a blog about it. Keep all the information about your YouTube Video on your blog keyword-rich, especially the title. This will allow internet browsers to find it much more quickly and easily. Waseem Saddique says: "The more you post your online marketing video, whether it be through Facebook, Twitter or via a blog, the more of an audience you will attract."
3. Ensure your video is easy to find – Did you know? Google owns YouTube. Therefore, its vital to make your video ℠attractive to the Google search engine.´ An online marketing video should be easy to locate within and outside of YouTube. It´s well known that videos will appear much more frequently on the first page of Google and other search engines. Online video marketing is a tried and tested method for surging ahead of your rivals when it comes to search rankings. To enhance the impact of your video on Google, ensure that the text around your video utilises the keywords that best describe your video and its content.
Waseem Saddique concludes: "There are many benefits to producing a YouTube video for an online marketing campaign and arguably the biggest benefit is longevity. Online video has an incredibly long lifespan and if an online video is done well, the potential for it to produce successful results is completely unlimited."
Founded in 2007, Waseem Saddique Marketing Services has consistently provided small to medium enterprises as well as larger corporate firms with a range of digital marketing & online solutions.

The overall pass percentage in the Class XII State Board examinations, which included the results of students from both private and government schools, has improved by almost nine per cent from 74.63 in 2010 to 83.54 this year. Out of the 11,428 students who appeared for the examination this year, 9,547 have come out successful.
Results released by the Directorate of School Education here on Monday revealed that the pass percentage among students of government schools also saw a significant jump with figures improving by almost 11 per cent from 63.84 per cent in 2010 to 74.57 per cent in 2011.
Both the Karaikal and the Puducherry regions have shown a marked improvement with 81.32 and 83.95 pass percentages respectively. Among the 9,667 students—4480 boys and 5187 girls who appeared for the examination in Puducherry, 8115 had secured pass marks whereas in Karaikal, 1432 of the 1761 students who gave the exam, including 709 boys and 1052 girls, have emerged successful.
Like previous years, the trend of girls outperforming boys in the Board examination continued even this year with 86.31 per cent of girls securing pass marks compared to 80.21 per cent of the boys.
Overall pass percentage among boys in government schools was 68.13, up from 57.30 last year, while the number also increased in case of girls who secured 79.23 per cent as compared to 69.18 in 2010.
Director of School Education G. Panneerselvam said that the major reasons for the improvement in the results included filling up of vacancies of teachers and giving up the practice of promoting all students in Class XI irrespective of their performances.
G. Kavitha of St. Joseph of Cluny Girls Higher Secondary School secured the first rank in the Union Territory with 1186 marks.
The second slot went to Nirbhay Garg of St. Patrick Higher Secondary school, who secured 1183 out of 1200.
The third spot with 1180 marks was shared by T.R. Lakshmi Priya of Amalorpavam Higher Secondary School, Archana Jayaprakash of St. Joseph of Cluny Girls Higher Secondary School and P. Kiruthiga of St. Patrick Higher Secondary School.
None of the top 20 rank holders this year had opted for Tamil as their second language.

In other business, the village board:
• Boosted the all-week Americade parking fee from $9 to $10 after Greater Glens Falls Transit increased their fees to the village. The parking pass includes free transportation on village trolleys all Americade week, rather than a limited number of trips as was allowed in the past.
• Announced intention to install a temporary traffic signal on Canada St. in front of Fort William Henry Resort during Americade week to allow motorcyclists to more easily enter and exit the hotel, which is the new headquarters for the rally. Officials have reported that there are substantial traffic snarls at the resort entrance during Americade week.
• Voted to borrow money through a $1.8 million 30-year bond at no interest from the state Environmental Facilities Corp. to fund upgrades to the Lake George sewer transmission lines and processing plant. The project includes lining the pipes with an impervious material to prevent leaks or ruptures.
• Decided to send proposed electronic sign ordinances back to the town planning board for re-wording. The color of lights on these digital "reader board" signs and the signs' placement, particular on doors, were issues concerning the village leaders.
• Shelved a request to allow a "water ball" attraction to operate at Shepard park Beach. The amusement features a five-minute walk on water inside a large sphere that's attached to a 10-foot tether. The enterprise was rejected due to lack of appropriate space and possible conflict with swimming and other uses of the shoreline - as well as potential noise from a generator used to inflate the ball. Also, Blais said, the state Health Department was seeking assurances from the village that no water-walker would vomit or defecate inside the ball.
Trustee John Earl and others suggested the water-ball promoter pursue the idea with lakeside hotels and motels that own a stretch of the Lake George shoreline.

FHFA COO Richard Hornsby could be charged with three felony counts for allegedly threatening former Director Edward DeMarco.
A bill that would phase-out Fannie and Freddie is unlikely to pass a full Senate vote.
Housing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could do an about-face in a renewed effort to nurture the U.S. housing market and better serve consumers seeking mortgage loans. But this time the move appears to offer greater benefits to lenders and borrowers than it does to Fannie's and Freddie's shareholders...
GSE reform passes the Senate Banking Committee Thursday over objections from Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
FHFA Director Mel Watt said his agency will maintain conforming loan limits and relax underwriting requirements.
Richard Hornsby, who allegedly threatened former Director Ed DeMarco, is due in court Wednesday on felony charges.
Dodd-Frank mandated tests, which include systemically catastrophic models, produce far worse results than FHFA's testing of Fannie and Freddie.
Credit unions and other mortgage lenders have observed slow mortgage demand for some months, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency said prices are on the uptick.
Democrats in the House ask the CFPB's inspector general to investigate allegations of employee discrimination. The NCUA is questioned, too.
Regional price variances, low inventory and too many homeowners still underwater mean higher prices aren't resulting in big loan gains.

Giving this a try...
For the longest time, I've resisted doing this, but now I figure, what do I have to lose!? (I've gained a bit more of an adventurous side over the last few years). My job(s) and regular activities don't always allow me to meet many guys my age, and everyone and their mother (literally) has told me to try this...soooo... I'm energetic, creative, fun, and always on the go, but can definitely appreciate a quiet evening relaxing at home. Music is a huge part of my life - it energizes me and re-centers me when I need it. I laugh easily and have a bit of a sarcastic side, and I truly can't stand to see someone I love hurting in any way. I truly value my friendships and am extremely grateful for the wonderful people in my life. Sky-diving, a cross-country road trip, and running a marathon are all on my bucket list! I am looking for someone who is ready for a long term commitment, not necessarily to jump right into an intense relationship, but going into it "friendship first" with the hope of finding "the one". Relationships should indeed be based on trust and commitment and that means not giving up when the going gets tough. I'm thankful to have family and friends to model that loving commitment for me and hope I find the same.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Cycling, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I like other people's cats but don't want my own. I would love to have a dog but am on the go so much that it wouldn't be fair to have one right now, so I'm glad to have a lovable canine "niece" to visit once in a while.
Middle of the Road
Love the little local places for dinner/drinks/dessert, etc. - not really a big fan of the chain restaurants. I love having the canal relatively nearby for a relaxing walk with a friend or the occasional run.
Waterfalls, sunrises and sunsets, stargazing, etc. I love wine tasting, photography, spending time with friends, and have a passion for theater and performing - singing, acting, and directing.
singing/theater (performing and as an audience member!), dinner out with friends, wine tasting/exploring the Finger Lakes.

I'm trying to design something similar to GitHubs sliding file browser
It's mostly working but im trying to style it and I get this with my borders:
.claim-header, .support-header{
text-align: center;
background-color: $argument-review-banners;
padding: 0.3em;
font-family: "Jockey One",Arial,Georgia,sans-serif;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 20px; // <--- this line breaks it
text-transform: uppercase;
border-color: black;
border-style: solid;
it appears as if the font-size within the div (each one of these rows is a div as it's not really a table, as I'm not doing file browsing per se) is what breaks it, it seems to make the calculation of the width different because of font-size. I thought that susy caculates widths based on the base-font, not the font of the element. It's off by 2 pixels and I wonder if this is some sort of rounding error.
I could fix it with yet another wrapper div. But I'm wondering what the proper solution would be.
