...with an earthy stench that he recognized as the scent of the tanners' quarter to the west. A cluster of ruined buildings jutted along the skyline to the southwest. They marked the remains of the town's predecessor, Fustat, city of the tents, which had been burned to keep it out of the hands of the Crusaders nearly thirty years before. Altaïr had no love for the Crusaders. He spat at the sight of...
... in some dill from the garden and discovered as I was rinsing it that I'd inadvertently captured another prisoner-of-war . (At least it didn't end up in the soup...) Probably the same species as its predecessor (I believe the moth that resulted that time was an alfalfa looper); I've got it in a jar on the windowsill with the dill it was nibbling on, let's see if this one pupates or just poops a ...
...the book in tiresome ingenue mode, and her twatty Scottish love interest - but that doesn't really put you off reading, the intricate spiralling plot of Darkest Day being just as entertaining as its predecessor's. There's more comedy in this book, with the bickering between the two old men being a frequent source of mirth, and there's also more horror, supernatural and otherwise. It's altogether...
... results, perhaps to look over a polling statistic or two. But Ahmadinejad, despite his obtuseness and his unending smile, is a tough guy in a tough clerical environment. His gloriouspredecessor, Hojatolislam Mohamed Khatami, was somewhere down there amid the crowds, along with Mousavi and Mousavi's wife Zahra Rahnavard, but they could not protect these people. Government is not about good guys...
... Bay's "Transformers" shape-shifted itself into the biggest hit of the year. Later this month, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" will try to keep the streak alive by living up to its predecessor. Now, the people behind the popular franchise are talking trilogy. "We enjoy making these movies. It's just like going to adrenaline-rush camp," grinned Shia LaBeouf, who stars in the series as Sam...
...on me to teach whoever replaces me. Which is like, crap, because I hardly know my own job anymore. It's changed since last fall, because of the whole buyer change and I only do maybe half of what my predecessortrained me to do, so I can only hope that I'm able to give the new person the correct info. ...not that it'll be my problem anymore after I leave, but that makes me feel like a douche for...
... of their ranks? You remember my bit about you being CIC, right? I don’t expect you to know as much about the military as someone who served but you did inherit that position from your predecessor. So allow me to explain: Private Long and Private Ezeagwula earned their rank and the distinction of being U.S. Soldiers. Calling them simply by their names makes you come across as ignorant as your ...
... anointment by Mr. da Silva, who has steered Brazil through one of its greatest periods of prosperity, automatically made her a contender. She became Mr. da Silva’s chief of staff after her predecessor, José Dirceu, was accused in 2005 of leading a scheme to buy votes in Congress. She has proved an able administrator, helping Mr. da Silva carry out his poverty-relief programs, manage the windfall...
... is to be released in a month's time. The trailer on the local minisite is wonderful: it's interesting to see that Cing have decided to carry over the cartoon aesthetic of the game's NDS predecessor, as I'd have thought the look was simply a matter of convenience on the handheld system, from which they could have radically deviated in the series' migration to a home console. Either way, it looks...
... containing his newest specimen, the Seeker gently set the organic down to see how the specimen would react to the introduction of what was obviously a sister species if not its genetic predecessor. For a long moment his little creature stared up at him in obvious concentration before grinning and turning to face the now obviously terrified organic trapped in his enclosure. Stylus flyingacross ...
