You have the most insano psychiatric fools in all of Europe.
Man, are the "BuffyTheProfitHater"/"Lowbrow"/"Robo Alien"/"Piddy-full"/"Hamish The 17-Year-Old Haifa-Based Palestinian Usenet Terrorist" aliases on an insano roll lately!!!
At that point, after having missed other targets Gainey probably says to himself "Well, these guys used to work magic together, and did it for a defensive team. What the hell?" and then threw an insano contract Gionta's way.
Well, the whole gallery has the most insano security staff I've ever seen - complete with camera attached to each security dude etc; so I'd imagine stuff would be pretty safe.

Rather than lay out a prescriptive path, they really listened to women talk about their lives and challenges — how novel! — and illuminated areas of overlap, surfaced and clarified themes, and pointed out commonalities that extend beyond the borders of their graduating class.

examples: fix yourself girl / you got a cameltoe
A good question, although answering it requires a certain tact. Cameltoe is slang for a fashion faux pas caused by women wearing snug pants; the term suggests a visual analogy. The song is a cautionary tale, intended to help victims – help them, that is, by ridiculing them – into recovery.
Most of the time, camel toe is rarely the extreme you see on certain websites; it's more subtle than that. Most of the time, camel toe is caused by wearing pants that are too big—in one specific area—making a reciprocal area too small. It's an engineering problem, not a weight problem. In fact, here's a skinny mannequin. If she's got a camel toe, everyone else will too.
Alicia Keyes generously saves me from having to explain what exactly a camel toe is in anatomical detail, but for those who need a little help, let's just say the words "crotch outline" and let that suffice.

If you are doing your job right designing a game, the newbie experience should be almost good enough that people don't care about permadeath any more then they would picking up a new novel.
I don't consider permadeath a reasonable solution for most virtual worlds.
Permadeath is simply a way to encourage the playing of more than one game so they can try everything.
gloss: Likewise, any situation where a player character or characters who die are lost permanently but do not trigger a game over, allowing the player to proceed without the character(s). Particularly applies if said deaths are avoidable (not forced by the plot) and occur only as a result of player blunder.

For many fans of the dungeon crawler genre, the ultimate risk is permadeath. And it’s just what it sounds like. If you die in a game with permadeath, your character is toast. Gone. Permanently.
Combat gets a lot more challenging in the back half of the story, especially if you ratchet up the sliding difficulty gauge to hard (which, notably, features Fire Emblem’s signature permadeath for added consequences to your actions).
it features character permadeath which can’t be disabled; as the press release puts it, “in this Fire Emblem game, if your soldiers meet their end, they’re gone forever.”
