With a working example of X-WR-TIMEZONE from Richard Riley and a night's sleep under my belt, I revisted setting 'org-icalendar-timezone' to my time zone ("America/Indiana/Indianapolis") and this time it worked. Not quite sure what happened yesterday but I suspect that my calendar was being cached at Google and therefore did not reflect my furious cycle of change/push/refresh as I tried different settings. This thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=4655879e5ebc62f7&hl=en laments the lack of timely refreshing of subscribed calendars and seems to suggest that the refresh cycle may be as long as 24 hours. I can't confirm that yet but I'm still waiting. It seems to be at least several hours long. Neal
