For any defined group, especially one with any power, influence, or control, there is a center and a margin, where the center has more power, influence or control than the margin. ![]()

I believe that Jackson felt that if his stunt backfired, then so be it, but he had at least tried, where both have a very different approach anyway. Without knowing a thing about for example Giles' contractual situation, I very much do not imagine him pulling such a stunt, especially as such box sets seem to get much more screening. ![]() His gutsy and not approved extension of Get Back could have very much backfired with his customers. In my point of view Peter Jackson is an accidental lucky strike for us fans, and I am glad he seems to get involved into other future projects. I can see quite a bit that "the shareholders" feel positive about involving him, in addition to McCartney seems to enjoy working with him. ![]() I am happy he is there, as I suspect he may play a part in that this remix series started at all, see his involvement with Love.

I’ve spent the last few days reflecting on the places, people and puppies I’ve experienced along the way in 2016. But I encourage you to go see one for yourself this year. You’ll continue to see stories from the parks on this broadcast. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of cathedrals. Naturalist John Muir once wrote, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” They’re places where red and blue can come together, sometimes in the same vista. You don’t really feel that in the National Parks. ![]() Much has been made about how divided we are as a country. I watched the debate at my hotel in American Samoa, where the people I met can’t even vote for the American president. I saw a 1,500-foot-high canyon wall that already exists on the Mexican border. I spent plenty of time in red states and in blue states. It was certainly an interesting year to be criss-crossing the country. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments The novice summoner series![]() ![]() ![]() Now, two years later, I am a senior in high school, the editor-in-chief of the Renegade Report, and the Summoner trilogy has come to a close with its final installment, The Battlemage. Among those books was The Novice, the first book in Taran Matharu’s Summoner trilogy. One of the first articles I ever wrote was a five-in-one book review, in which I provided quick, non-spoiler reviews of five different books. Back in my sophomore year at Shawnee, I decided to join the Renegade Report. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Book the lies of locke lamora![]() ![]() This heist, as you can probably predict, eventually lead them into something much bigger and dangerous than what they’ve signed up for. Led by their leader, Locke Lamora (the infamous Thorn of Camorr), the story begins with the gang trying to pull off the biggest heist they ever attempted. ![]() In The Lies of Locke Lamora, we follow a group of elite con artists called the Gentleman Bastards. Picture: The Lies of Locke Lamora by Edward Miller This and the other debuts I just mentioned are completely different from each other in terms of content and writing style, but quality-wise they’re all the same: exceptionally stunning. Together with The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Malice by John Gwynne, The Lies of Locke Lamora-the first book in the Gentleman Bastard sequence-has become one of the best debut novels I’ve ever read so far. “There’s no freedom quite like the freedom of being constantly underestimated.” Second, Scott Lynch’s capability to successfully craft such an incredible debut exceeded my expectations. First, for postponing reading this book for such a long time. The Lies of Locke Lamora is a double fuckdamn for me.
