The idea is go0od just not thought out.

In the picture there are two. If you install like the pic than you cannot use all of the spots for rods as the curvature of the garage door interferes when you open the door. You can put two but you have to leave full panel in between racks.

The concept - the reinvention (rediscovery?) of Mordred as something more than a villain and as a gay man - has a lot of potential.  In execution, this potential was tapped, but not quite enough.

The plot is difficult to follow at times, with rambling narratives that veer off and rejoin and veer off again.  A comparatively large amount of time is spent wallowing in Mordred's chastity - too much, I think, because I started rolling my eyes at his Raging Hormones well before the wallowing climaxed, as it were.  The sentence structure also sometimes goes galloping off with its bit between its teeth, winding on with such convoluted or rambling phrasing that more than one sentence requires rereading to grasp its meaning.  Typographical errors and lingering mark-up - although not a huge problem - are also just enough of a presence to occasionally throw me from my reading.

That being said, it was still an interesting book and I'm glad I read it.  I look forward to how Mordred will continue to develop as a character within the constraints of Arthurian legend and how the audience for his narrative will evolve with him.  Still, I will wish that my local library would carry the future volumes, as I don't know that I'd want to pay for them.

Great idea and wish it really worked.  Very few command possibilities and even those are not understood fully.

Roland Merullo begins with an interesting idea:  Jesus returns and run for President of the United States.  One might imagine the places one could go with this premise and how it could be used to skewer the nature of contemporary political discourse.  Unfortunately, he does little of that.  Oh, he certainly does give us obvious Limbaugh-type commentators but the book never really becomes the satire it should be.  Much of the reason for this is the intentional choices by the author.

The Jesus that Merullo gives us is not the one who appears in the pages of the New Testament but one culled from his own concept of what Jesus should have been.  It may be argued he was relying on some "Gnostic Jesus" but that is hard to say since gnosticism has become a catch all phrase to place in various dualist and other small sects that may not have had any relation to each other.

Even if this were the intention of the author, the satire then breaks down immediately.  The telling point would be to show how those who use the name "Christian" are not in keeping with their own attested beliefs - that is, they are hypocrites.  When one looks at what frequently passes for "Christian" in modern conservatism and looks at the New Testament, it is pretty clear that Merullo would have had enough material for a few novels at least.  But instead, he handpicks a Jesus of his own liking and at that point there is no point.  Since Jesus is being used as a literary device, the usage only has force if they are speaking of the same character.  But it is obvious he has some other Jesus in mind and the purpose is lost.

Once it stops being a satire and starts being the advocacy of some Jesus of Merullo's own wish fulfillment, there really is little interest except to those who share the same wish.  Certainly there is no point in zinging those on the religious or political right since the one cast as Jesus for both are two different characters.  Thus despite some funny moments, the possibility of a truly good book is lost.

The idea is good, the descriptions of the action are hard to follow. I like the technology play but the thing just doesn't flow that well

A fantastic idea, all the children in the world suddenly in a coma for 10 years, is wasted in a movie that is a mix of many other zopmbie-movies, the book  The midwich cuckoos and some atmospheric moments  of the Twilight Zone episodes. Not entirely bad but the question is..why making a film like this one if the idea cannot be developed in the adequate way ? They could  have saved more money , could have waited more time and then maybe a good film  could be today be reviewed.

A little far-fetched, or, maybe it isn't !!!!!

Makes you think and wonder.

The price was right and perhaps there is a message to be learned here. As for me, it just didn't quite work. The basic idea of this book is to feel/think about things from the heart, as opposed to the head.  The idea sounds great but the actually doing it is something else. I wish the author had went more in depth as to exactly how one should go about this transformation

It would be great if this was an original idea. Sounds like a leftist type of move though. Take something successful and ruin it. Sounds right.

I liked the idea of the movie. Makes you wonder if it could really work. And of how these can go wrong...

The overall statement of the book stands on a very thin concept "Miller and Ureys efforts to re-create the primordial soup, trying to create life within a flask of nonliving chemicals.". The main  argument against this point of view  cannot be best described as it is in a popular joke: "Two scientist work on creating life from nothing.  They suddenly come up with an answer.  So, these two scientist call God and tell him, God, we can now create life without your help.  He says, show me. The scientists grab some dirt and say:  we take this dirt and...  Then God interrupts,  no, no ,no...  Use your own dirt...".  Otherwise, the book is overly descriptive, a usual for him, and the story line very interesting.

I like the idea of an exercise system that you can quickly pull out of a small storage space and get a good weight-training workout. It seems like a good idea, and this set of handles and cables looked like a good implementation of that idea. But in reality, this system does not work as well as I thought. It's hard to get the cables to give a gym-quality workout. While a lot of thought went into the design of this system, the reality is that it just doesn't work well enough to give a good workout.

The idea that mathematical genius is somehow strange or crazy
is very bad doctrine. People with power of innovation and original
thought are produced in the gene pool with regularity.
They are almost as likely to be found among the poor
as among the wealthy.
Much of the real advancement of civilizations has depended on them
braving misunderstanding and persecution to bring their ideas forward.
Contributing to their problems as this movie does,
even with the very good acting is not a good idea.
The Nash's of the world are seldom and very much not the "rule".

the artwork is fun, the ideas interesting, but seems like just another attempt to produce something new in the field of enlightenment that falls way short of truly experienced non duality.  I do think many have had spiritual inspiration from psychedelic experiences, but I do not think anyone has truly awakened through the use of psychedelic experiences.  The ending of the book brought it home that Mr Ball missed the point of transcending ego.  But, having not accomplished this myself as yet I am no authority, just does not ring true to me.

I just have a few problems with the way the premise was carried out. Granted, that all the side comments and 'modern' points of reference could be supported, I just wasn't ready for it.

The idea is good but the implementation is not.  Tough to bend the little spokes and they like to swing around and soak you while you are adjusting them.  Forget about adjusting before you turn it on too.

some how it is a little difficult to follow in what seems to be an  easy approach.  Very interesting concept though.
