Grid

wget https://raw.github.com/twigkit/semantic.gs/master/stylesheets/scss/grid.scss grid.scss / 
 -O _grid.scss

Import in _481up.scss or _768up.scss? 

@import "grid";
  defaults to 12 column, 960 grid system. Customize by overriding three variables
  (after the import has been declared):

@column-width: 60;
@gutter-width: 20;
@columns: 12;

@total-width: 100%;
  for fluid (percentage-based) grid rather than a fixed pixels
