Vertically Centering Text

I've got some text that I'm trying to vertically align inside a div, but the vertical-align proper in CSS is just not doing it. I'm using bootstrap as my framework, in case that matters. Anyone know how to do this and it actually works?

Wowzers, that's a heck of a workaround! I'd have thought there'd be something simpler with all the geeks working on it all these years. I guess not. Okay, well I've saved that for later. I got stuck and had to move on. If anyone else has any good ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.
