One thing we've found from our years of bra fitting is that deep plunging bras are a) a wardrobe necessity and b) frequently hard to fit. Unless you are pretty full up top, low spacers often gape open at the top of the cup. Ugh. The genius designers of Natori have taken this into account with an inspired layer of stretch mesh overlapping the delicate molding of the otherwise spare cups. The center plunges, the cups lift and oomph, and the mesh makes sure everything lies flat. If it weren't so darn sexy we'd say this might be the most brilliant basic we've seen in a while.
Wear With
Feathers Thong$30.00
Stretch lace bands at the waist won't dig (read: smooth under clothes) while the barely-there thong shape is downright devilishly pretty. A G-string by any other name?

This classic lace and mesh bikini gets a pretty upgrade with a surprising vintage silhouette and a wide band of gorgeous stretch lace at the waist.
- Fully-adjustable straps

Something to note is that you don't need a healer on the east boss Rohash. For the very start of the encounter there was a shadow priest solo. When he was about to do his hurricane the warlcok who had been DPS'ing the north boss went over and the two of them would spend the rest of the fight burning the east boss down. The two of them were able to keep themselves healed fairly nicely, none of my other DPS even had to go to the east platform.
Another tatic we employed was using a Prot Pally and a Holy pally on the north platform. With all of the other DPS on the west. We did not do any swithces for the first ultimate ability. Both the paladins on the north platform simply bubbled and /dance'd with the boss until his blizzard ran out. We of course had to switch for the second ultimate ability, but with out doing the switch this gave a lot of time to DPS the west boss down.

Whether it is your go-to bag for shopping or a gift for someone, this simple and chic crossbody purse is a great bag for everyday of the year.
Stacked and Shaped Flowers:
Punch 6 flowers with the XL Oppsie Daisy Squeeze Punch. Punch 1 small flower with the Small Flower Lever Punch.
Use a 1/4" Hand Punch to punch a hole in the center of the six large flowers. Use a 1/16" Hand Punch to punch a hole in the center of the small flower. (I used white cardstock for all of my flowers. I used a marker to color the small flower yellow.)
Set the small flower aside.
Make a single cut in two of the flowers between two petals to the center hole. Cut away one petal from two of the flowers. Cut two petals away from the remaining two large flowers.
Adhere the two petals together on each side of the cut to create one single petal from two. This will create a slight cone shape in your flowers.
Wrap the petals around a round object about the same diameter as a pencil to create a curved shape to the petals (I used my embossing stylus).
Adhere the two flowers together that have seven petals, adhere the two flowers together that have six petals, and adhere the two flowers together that have five petals.
Stack and adhere together the three flowers. The bottom flower should be the one made from the seven petal flowers, then the six petal flowers, and then the five petal flowers on top.
Make a small loop in the end of a piece of floral wire.
Feed the wire through the center of the small flower. Place it on the stem all the way at the top next to the loop in the wire.
Place a small amount of glue in the center of the large flower stack. Feel the wire through the center hole of the assembled flower. Place the flower at the top of the wire next to the small flower. Press the large flower next to the small so that they adhere together.
Stamp two leaves for each flower you plan to make.
Pierce two small holes in each leaf with a paper piercer.
Feed the leaves onto the wire. A small drop of glue on the underside of the leaf next to the wire will help hold it in place.
Twirled Flowers:
Punch cardstock with any large or XL round punch. A punch with a shaped edge like a scallop or Spring Flora work best.
Use a 1/4" Hand Punch to make a hole in the center of the flower. Cut a straight line from the edge to the center hole. It works best if you place the cut between a petal or scallop shape.
Start rolling the flower into a cone starting with one of the straight edges next to the cut. You may find it easiest to begin rolling the cone by wrapping it around the tip of a paper piercer or toothpick. A small dot of glue along the straight edge may be helpful if you prefer that your center stay small and tightly rolled.
Continue rolling the paper into a cone working your way around the round shape of original punched shape. When you come to the end, allow the flower to uncoil a bit to your liking. Add a small drop of glue along the end to hold the end in place.
Prepare a wire stem as explained above. Add a small drop of glue to the center of the flower. Insert the wire into the center of the flower. Pull the wire through until the loop rests in the center of the flower.
Shape the flower petals by bending them downward.
Display the finished flowers in a small vase or use them to embellish a card or frame project.
Smooth cardstock (I used plain white and added color with markers)
Thread wrapped floral wire
Paper piercer and foam mat
Quick dry clear liquid glue

WASHINGTON - Virginia plans to begin allowing commuter buses to use the shoulders of Interstate 66 inside the Capitol Beltway as part of a pilot project aimed at reducing congestion along the heavily traveled route.
At a task force hearing on buses on shoulder lanes, Virginia and Maryland transportation officials briefed members about how they could ease congestion along Interstate 270 and I-66. The task force is part of the Transportation Planning Board at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.
Virginia Department of Transportation officials are considerably further along than Maryland. The agency hopes to begin its pilot program in 2014 along five segments of I-66 inside the Beltway.
Travelers are able to use the shoulders west of the Beltway during certain hours of the day.
"We were told to make sure something is up and running in 16 to 18 months", says Kanti Srikanth, director of transportation planning at VDOT.
The pilot segments would run:
- Eastbound from the Dulles Toll Road to Haycock Road
- Eastbound from North Sycamore Street to North Jacksonville Street
- Westbound from North Quincy Drive to North George Mason Drive
- East and Westbound from North Spout Run Parkway to North Nash Street
"That means there are fewer people driving in cars and those that continue to drive will receive the benefit of less competition on the road," says Arlington County Board Member Chris Zimmerman.
According to VDOT, the pilot program will cost about $2.1 million and would last 12 months.
"Our strategy on the planning level is find the money from existing projects," says Srikanth, who was confident the money would be there.
Meanwhile in Maryland, a similar project to allow buses to use the shoulder lane along I-270 between Interstate 70 and the Beltway is still several years away.
"The most important point is that this is a preliminary effort. We're just entering the game here," says Barrett Kiedrowski with the Maryland State Highway Authority.
"We just started this year ago. I am very pleased on where we've come," says City of Frederick Alderman Carol Krimm, who arrived at the meeting late because of traffic on I-270.
"The Maryland Department of Transportation is now considering the option on I-270, which is congested. But I would encourage the local counties to put this project in their Priority Letters," says Krimm, referring to the annual letter that counties send to the Department of Transportation to seek funding for a list of top local projects.
Officials hope a new state transportation funding package may help the effort along.
But during the state highway administration presentation, planners admitted several problems that have yet to be addressed. Among them are traffic choke points in Montgomery and Frederick counties and conflict points where buses would cross other traffic, like at an exit ramp.
In total, there would be 22 choke or conflict points, along with 17 spots along bridges where the shoulder would need to be lengthened or widened to allow buses to use them.
The highway administration does not have the money to study such problems, nor does it have the $3 million to $6 million the agency says it would cost per mile to improve the shoulder for bus travel.
The Monocacy Battlefield, a historic landmark in Frederick along I-270, poses another problem.
The presentation left one transit watcher dismayed at the lack of progress in Maryland, compared to those across the Potomac.
"You're going to see the difference between something that's very close to implementation and Maryland that's just starting to look at the concept," says Krimm.
"It took Virginia passing a transportation package before Maryland woke up and got something done. Maybe, once again, it'll take Virginia taking the lead on the bus on the shoulder pilot to get us in gear about doing it on 270," says Tina Slater, president of the Montgomery County Action Committee for Transit.
The task force plans to issue recommendations to the Transportation Planning Board early this summer.

Room Mate Grace has no doorstaff, porter/bellhop, conference room, or restaurant. The front desk resembles a sidewalk newsstand and sells snack foods, liquor and beverages, and periodicals. But it does provide a continental breakfast (surcharge), a pool social center, and a poolside bar.
A complimentary, 24-hour mezzanine social area at Room Mate Grace centers around an indoor pool with underwater music and a service window for drinks from the hotel bar. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available.
Slate amphitheater seating leads from the pool to a red-tiled, unisex steam room and an expansive unisex sauna. Between them, a slate-lined communal shower room with glass side walls and bench contains five rain showerheads.
A DJ performs Friday and Saturday nights in the pool's amphitheater. When the DJ is not present, contemporary background music plays throughout the mezzanine level.
Room Mate Grace is a smoke-free property (fines apply for violations).

Bedazzling: Smokey Quartz Diamond & Pearl Ring
A magnificently large smoky quartz cabochon's surface is set with a silver star studded with thirteen (13) petite rose cut diamonds. When light hits the dome shaped gem glorious hues of cocoa, chocolate and caramel create a kaleidoscopic display of the wonders of the natural earth. Enclosing the cabochon a border of natural half seed pearls (untested but guaranteed to be natural) joins in an embrace. Surrounding those pearls is an outer row of tiny pearls in crimped collets of gold snuggling up to every other pearl in the inner ring. A modern shank, embellished with three (3) brilliant cut diamonds down each shoulder pays homage to the former brooch top.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Biggin from cheese power bait I couldn't find this flavor in the stores that I went to, either they were out or they don't stock it, so I went to your web site and ordered enought for me for the next couple years, out of all the other flavors this is the one I catch more of my trout with.

Moving Past Gamer ADD
What is Gamer ADD?: Gamer Attention Deficit Disorder, or Gamer ADD, is a term used by many gamers to describe the behavior of flitting from one RPG to another, never sticking with one RPG for any appreciable amount of time; also, being easily distracted by new games and systems at the expense of your wallet, focus, or both.
I know affliction quite well, having fallen prey to it personally. Let's face it, there are a lot of companies out there right now just making fantastic, exciting games! Now, Gamer ADD isn't a totally bad thing; in fact, let's first look at some benefits to this behavior:
The Good:
-Gamer ADD can lead to trying a wider variety of games and getting more education on exactly what sort of diverse RPG styles are out there.
-You can develop a more informed taste for what you like and don't like in different RPGs.
-Trying to find out about new games can bring you into new networks, bring about interesting conversations with new friends, and open up new communities for you to visit.
During my prolonged period of Gamer ADD, I learned a lot about exactly what I wanted and didn't want from an RPG, and I think that's a tremendously valuable lesson. But when Gamer ADD continues, there can be unpleasant effects as well:
The Bad:
-Constant switching of systems can lead to overload/animosity within a gaming group, who can feel left behind or alienated by continual change.
-Buyer's remorse: Gotta have the new hotness? Need to have that precious game everyone at Big Purple is claiming goes all the way to 11 (and may cure cancer)? It may not seem so hot in three months, when you realize you should have done a little more research and a little less paying attention to hype, and you're stuck with a poorly-bound $40 hardback that's yesterday's news.
-Bang for the buck: You've got System A, which is this amazing system that you can supposedly run anything with. It has more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. But while you're still perusing the GM's chapter and really getting a feel for the game, System B calls. You still never ready "let 'er rip" with System A, meaning you really aren't getting the most use or value out of your purchase--and might be missing out on some sweet Random Probabilitiy Engine Action.
-Did I mention RPGs are expensive?
So, one hand, trying new systems is a great thing: it means you're open to new games, new conversations, and new ideas about how to get the most out of this hobby. On the other hand, chasing the Next Big Thing every time can lead to a painfully thin wallet, neurotic gaming group, and a wake of purchases you didn't get as much out of as you might have.
Let's face it: we like new and shiny things (even when sometimes those things go back to old and homespun). For many, it's seductive on places like RPGnet and Story Games to follow the newest thing, be a part of the conversation, and be fashionable in your choice of game. And until taken to excess (enter Gamer ADD), that's fine. But if you've identified with any of these items and want to make sure you're being a smart, well-informed buyer/gamer without losing your enthusiasm and love of new ideas, you may wish to consider some of the tips below:
-Make A Commitment: There are threads on various message boards where individuals for one reason or another have decided to play Hackmaster, Rules Cyclopedia D&D, Vampire: The Dark Ages, and other games for a set time, be it a pre-determined campaign, 101 Days, or even a year! While the latter may be a tad extreme for many, the basic idea is a good one: pick a system you feel has lots to offer, and make a commitment to explore, run, tweak, and discuss that game primarily for a certain length of time. Allow yourself to learn the system, see the nuts & bolts, come up with your own house rules, and figure what works for you and what doesn't. At the end of the time, you should have a mastery of the game, a better idea of what you want for your gaming, and what you'll be on the lookout for in the future.
-Don't be afraid of Gestalts: I love space and sci-fi RPGs. I have about 18 of them that I seriously wouldn't mind running (I told you I suffered from it!), from Traveller to Icar to Spacemaster. But I know that in my time on Earth, I am only going to be able to run a finite numbers of games before I'm rolling dice with Uncle Gary in the Great Beyond. So what I do is decide on a primary system, and then bring ideas and tweaks from other space/sci-fi RPGs into the mix. I use races from Nebuleon. I use some lifepath and simplified starship combat ideas from Thousand Suns. I use some equipment from Icar. I use so much background from Starcluster 2 products its hard to say where I start. It all finds its way into my cheerfully bastardized Traveller game. You can still commit to a system as above, but bring in what you love from other systems as well. These are books I already have, and books I'm not flitting about like a hummingbird: they've found solid, prolonged use in this way. I've found this one of the best weapons in curbing my gamer ADD.
-Cull the herd (temporarily): No one is suggesting you sell any of your RPG books (unless you wish to), but you may wish to consider the following. At some point when you are far away from your bookshelf, sit down and make a list of games and RPG products you really, truly want to use or see yourself using immediately. Then go to your bookshelf, and pack that which you didn't list (you'll be surprised at some of the results)--put it in a box that's tough to get to, or put it in storage for a bit. Then, concentrate on what's left. Use it. Mix it. Remember how much you paid for the damn things, and what you want you wanted to do with them.
-Do Your Homework: Of course, you also want to do your homework, read plenty of reviews (just not the breathless first reports of ultra-fanboys), and ask questions of people who have played the product, and dig for some actual play reports. Is it just one or two gimmicks that make this system big news right now? Does the core of it sound sensible and playable? Do I have something that already does this? Are the comments vague "we rocked out hard playing it, Designer X is a great guy" sort of things?
Ideally, these steps (or your own ideas on how to handle Gamer ADD) can lead to more focused gaming, a better idea of what you want out of gaming, a more stable campaign and gaming group, and a fatter wallet.
That's my take on Gamer ADD. I don't think it ever goes away, but it can be controlled and put to useful purpose. If you've had a bout of the same, have a way you work through Gamer ADD, or have some thoughts on the topic, I'd love to see your comments or posts!

Great, great post, my man. There's nothing wrong with being an RPG fashionista, but it can really hurt the wallet and any attempt at a sustained campaign.
I do remember someone on RPGnet playing only Vampire: Dark Ages for like a year. That's a bit excessive for me too, but you have some good, entertaining advice here from someone who's clearly gone (going?) through it. :)

Gamer ADD leads to a general distaste for campaigning...which leads to short, three-session game arcs...which makes players hunger for the next game...which breeds more gamer ADD. It's a very vicious cycle, and one that I've only just learned to identify and break.

- sirlarkins said...
Yup, recovering ADD addict right here. And you and PatricWR are absolutely right about the fallout from said habits being group frustration, shortened campaigns, etc.
I finally broke the cycle by just friggin' committing to a single game, and it resulted in a two year campaign! I had also re-organized my shelves: the top shelf consisted of games I knew by heart, that I could run at the drop of a hat. The second shelf (my "reading shelf") was systems I had a passing familiarity with, that I'd at best run once or twice but that I wanted to run more of. The bottom shelves were books that I planned on using primarily as source material (your "Gestalt" approach). That helped a lot too, because it allowed me to focus my energies and know what I was ready to tackle right away and what needed to be set aside for the time being.
Ironically, I'm getting ready to post about some fairly major shifts in my specific RPG interests and future plans (including an FRPG system that's calling to me, even though I'm really not in the market for another FRPG)...but I'll choose to believe that I'm merely a gaming "fashionista." :P

- Badelaire said...
I feel the pain. For me, the cycle usually begins anew juuuust about the time I begin Campaign A, an idea for Campaign B pops into my head and begins eating up creative energy I should be expending on A. So A begins to fade and my attention to it wavers and I let it peter out and die. Then I manage to get people into B, and juuuust as B begins to take off...along comes C.
I'm currently in a Traveller game that's gone on for about sixteen months, and I'm almost desperate for it to go bye-bye and do something else. A year or so, perhaps 20-30 sessions, is the sweet spot for me when it comes to campaigns. Much less and I feel short-changed, much more and I feel like I need to move on to something else.

I do think there is a "sweet spot for campaigns"--mine seems to be about 20-30 sessions. Of course, we have a homebrew setting and do "seasons", but its nice to do a season, do another sustained campaign, do another season, etc...

- clash bowley said...
I love reading and running new games, but I'm happy with one shots and short (<5 session) campaigns, so it''s not too bad. What is bad is that I also write my own games too fast, so that my players are constantly playtesting new games, and they want to play them longer, but just when I've got the game nailed, it's out to market, and I've got another playtest ready.
I'm sooo glad they are forgiving...
- December 4, 2008 at 2:48 PM
- GeneD said...
I have a few preferred games (D&D, M&M2e, SW:SE) but like to try new rules systems occasionally, if not as often as back in high school or college. However, as a Game Master, I find that most of my group prefers to stick with the current edition of D&D rather than try anything else.
I admit to having bought numerous books that looked interesting, but in my case, the frustration is from role-players being a bit too comfortable with a particular rules set rather than exploring new genres and styles of play. Aside from my weekly game, we have one-shots in other systems perhaps two or three times per year.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. I thought it was my own private mania. I need to put some books into storage...think I'll do that this weekend.
Excellent work.

Perfect! Nicely wrapped and beautifully personalized.
The order came on time and in great condition. The packaging and both for the tie case is beautiful and saves me the effort of wrapping it! The quality is amazing and I cannot wait to give it to my boyfriend!
I gave this case to my son and he seemed to really like it. The leather was the Italian sandalwood and was beautiful. The only thing that would have been nicer would be if it was a tad longer as he uses Xlong ties and they will work but not as well as a regular length.
My son travels for business a lot. I purchased the tie case to protect his expensive ties from wrinkling. He loved it.
The case was lovely and the packing was excellent. This was a gift for a friend and it was incredibly well received. The monogram looked great as well. 5/5!
This tie case is exceptional in every way. Stunned by quality and attention to detail, especially with packaging. Nicest tie case I have ever owned, and far from the most expensive.
Worked well for an overseas trip. Held 4 ties, cuff links, and stays. Fit nicely into a men's garment bag. Quality seems solid. Look and feel is good. Beautifully packaged.
Beautiful. Love the pocket for cuff links also. The only suggestion would be a way to hang in a closet.
I ordered this for my husband for Christmas with his initials on it. He absolutely loved it. I can't say enough good things about the quality!
I sent this item as a gift. Have not spoke with the recipient as of this date. I trust it arrived safely and was in good condition AND was liked.
This was a surprise for my son and he is so happy with it.
quality, handsome item. This will satisfy the discerning individual for sure!
I think these cases cases turned out so well. The embossed monograms on the leather were well done and even the gift boxes were classy. Just wish I would have been offered free shipping after ordering 8 of them!
Loved the leather tie case. beautifully packaged. Came on time. Easy to order especially with the monogramming. Thanks!
The Leather Tie Case is very nice, but way too large and heavy to travel with.
Tie case was easy to order & delivered in a timely manner. It was packaged well for shipping & exceeded my expectations. The quality of workmanship is good & should last me a long time. I would recomend this product to anyone who travels.
Well made, good feel, a very useful different than average gift. Will probably order this again.
Great quality product! I was nervous about the zipper possibly being difficult before I purchased, but it works great. Product looks very sharp and the leather is fantastic, great gift for husbands, dads and boyfriends!
Wonderful and unusual, but practical gift item. Excellent quality and finish.
Very impressed with the quality of product delivered. I am going to order more as I was pleased with the overall product, the initial engraving, the color, etc. I ordered a black and a brown tie case and both exceeded my expectations.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

I asked this on Twitter a while back, but I thought I might get some other thoughts on it. I have one of those 5g Poland Spring water jugs. If I get a bung that fits it, is there any reason I couldn't use it as a fermenter (either primary or secondary?). Some people have said it should be fine, others have said that "chemicals in the plastic" will leech into my beer and produce off-flavors. I find this latter argument difficult to accept given that those same chemicals don't leech into the water that the jugs held. Thoughts one way or the other?
In short: you'll probably be fine.
To explain, the primary danger is oxygen leaching through the plastic and oxidizing your beer. This is a real risk however you can minimize it. I believe it will take months at the rate of diffusion. Your beer will come out tasting like stale crackers or wet cardboard.
The reason chemicals in the plastic may leech into your beer and not the water is because beer is acidic while water is fairly neutral in pH. A few hours in the sun may drive off those chemicals. There is probably some food-safety regulation governing water jug composition guarding you from harmful chemicals.
Try it out. If you don't have a problem, relax & don't worry.
I often used plastic jugs when first starting out, probably because they were cheaper and available. One thing I recall is the relative difficulty in removing krausen scum from the inside - perhaps the plastic isn't as smooth as glass; I'm not sure. But this was also years ago and I'm not sure I tried as hard as I would now. So perhaps with a good soak in the right chemicals - Oxyclean, bleach, what have you - it would be no problem.
The consensus answer is that the only thing safe to put food with non-neutral PH into is #1 Polyethylene terephthalate or #2 High-density polyethylene. The big blue jugs you get with water in them are made from #7 polycarbonate. Polycarbonate has some potential health issues as it can leach, even in water at room temperature, a substance known as Bisphenol A which can have detrimental health effects. There is a movement going on to discontinue use of #7 polycarbonate plastics in the bottled water industry and replace them with #1 or #2. It is my understanding that the company that makes Better Bottles is benefiting from this. I know people will argue up and down that they haven't seen any health effects, but I simply wouldn't bother risking it. Better bottles and bucket fermenters are cheap.
I have fermented in plastic carboys can I cannot recommend it. You CAN get them clean with Oxy-Clean, but they are a PITA. Glass fermenters where you can use a carboy brush or plastic bucket fermenters are superior, in my opinion.
As to the oxygen permeability issue, unless you are going to leave the product in the plastic for years, it should be a negligible effect. #1 or #2 plastics have a very low oxygen permeability.
I use a #7 five gallon jug to transport brewing water from the RO machine in front of the market to my house... but I ferment in glass carboys. I had two batches spoiled by a hairline crack on the bottom of a better bottle. When I moved it, I smelled sour spoiled beer, and when I tasted it, it was awful. I noticed it just after I had brewed a batch, and the local homebrew shop had closed 10 minutes earlier. I put the new batch on top of a platter filled with starsan, but the bugs in the scratch ruined both batches.

Associated Press
VICENZA, Italy (AP) -- Self-made Italians like Amedeo Tartarini never expected to need help.
Tartarini's goldsmith business thrived for decades in Italy's postwar boom. He was one of legions of small businessmen who made Italy an industrial power. With a house, money in the bank and a teeming workshop, the affable artisan never questioned his financial security -- until it was too late.
As Italy's financial crisis deepened, Tartarini ignored signs his business was failing, but persevered in the belief that skill would outshine cheaper competition from China. Hard work and quality, he was convinced, would protect him from the forces of globalization. They did not.
"I always trusted it wouldn't end this way for me," Tartarini said, his eyes darkened with regret. "I had to sell all I had to continue, hoping to make it."
In many rich countries, a person like Tartarini, who has lost his home, his business and his life's savings, might have ended up on the street. Instead, he has managed to keep afloat thanks to friends and community spirit. Italy's extraordinary social safety nets, rooted in centuries of tradition, have helped soften the blow for millions of Italians -- and, so far at least, insulated the nation from the scenes of explosive unrest that have unfolded in other crisis-hit southern European countries. Italy heads into general elections this weekend that promise to determine what shape these crisis buffers will take in the future.
Institutions like family, hometown loyalty and church activism have combined with a generous welfare state to maintain social peace, despite escalating episodes of individual financial collapse. Meanwhile, Italians' own obsession with keeping up appearances at all costs -- a cultural trait known as "la bella figura," or cutting a fine figure -- has made them allergic to public displays of misery, while masking the true extent of national hardship.
The No. 1 factor in Italy's social equilibrium: The Family. The postwar economic-boom generation of prudent savers is lovingly maintaining those that followed. Grandparents care for grandchildren, while parents help finance, or even buy, that first home for just-married children. And young Italians may be just as inclined to live at home with mom and dad well into their 30s, with no social stigma. An organic extension of family is "campanilismo" -- a fierce loyalty to the village bell-tower -- which has meant that Italians look out for each other in their home communities, which are often better suited than the state to find the best ways to help those in need.
Experts see good and bad in this Italian way of life.
On the one hand, it has helped to maintain not only social stability, but also high living standards, in Italy's worst economic crisis since the end of World War II. On the other, it has been a social crutch that has eroded competitiveness, sapped opportunity for young people and perhaps put Italy on the path of long-term -- if decidedly genteel -- decline.
Tableaus of daily life in Italian towns and cities provide abundant evidence of social buffers at play.
Italy's vast network of volunteers offer services at little or no cost, with such organizations as retired corps of Alpine soldiers staffing recycling centers or managing parking at public events in exchange for a fraction of what it would cost to contract out the job.
Visit any Italian playground on a workday, particularly in the wealthy north, and small children are tended by a grandmother or grandfather, supplementing a paucity of daycare for children under 3 and providing after-school care for older children -- mostly so mothers can work. Research by the IRES think tank finds that this help sustains the employment of 800,000 women -- who in turn generate 2.4 percent of GDP.
The research concludes that grandparents' contributions don't just sustain and deepen familial relationships, "but are fundamentally linked to the economic systems of social services." Older Italians, defined here as over 54, contribute every year around EUR18.3 billion ($24.5 billion) to the Italian economy, or 1.2 percent of GDP, according to IRES. That sum amounts to roughly what Italy's economy has grown annually for the last two decades.
"It is reasonable for 35-year-olds to be living with their parents, and whole families may be relying on a grandfather's pension. One or two incomes may support four or five people, and it is not considered dysfunctional," said Raj Badiani, an IHS Global Insight analyst.
Other economic factors are at play in preventing social tumult despite youth unemployment of 37 percent:
