Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do.  I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming.  Sorry.
I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein).  It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap.
