Great choice It is very nice quality. Soft and comfortable. Bought it for a teenagers room and she loved it. The colors are just what you see on the internet. So far all my purchases from Overstock have been a good experience and I am not a big internet purchaser. i would definitly recommend the purchase.

Poor quality I purchased this for my 7 yr old daughter in anticipation of re-doing her room. She was so excited to receive it and we were just as deflated when we investigated. The fabric is beautiful to look at but very thin and feels very cheap. The comforter also looks as though it has not been finished, as the top fabric is stitched to the filling at random places and otherwise you can lift it up to separate all three layers. I've never seen anything like it -- it looks like they stopped sewing to take a break and accidentally sent it out for sale instead. It looks like the whole thing will turn into a mess if you kept and used it. We are returning it asap. My daughter is so disappointed.

Very Nice Comforter I purchased this for our 11 y/o daughter's bedroom. I am very happy with the colors and it goes very well with a lime green desk & hutch in her room. It's the perfect color/style for a pre-teen (not too little girly). The comforter is not very thick so a blanket is needed in winter time. Should be great for summer. I purchased a white ruffle bedskirt and the ensemble looks very nice. Love the matching pillow too.

Very Poor Quality The colors are great and the accent pillow is very cute but due to the fact that I am very afraid of how this comforter will wash up, we are sending it back. My daughter loves it and is very upset with me that I have to send it back but the quality is sooo poor. The quilting inside is a thin layer of cheap fill and it is not sewn into the material so I am fearful that I will have a large blob inside the two layers of material when we wash the comforter. Unfortunately, I don't think it is even worth the low price..

Smelled up the whole kitchen

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Evanger's Grain-Free Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats:
The worst smell I have ever encountered with any type of treats. I could not stand to open the container. My dogs would not eat after smelling. They smelled rotten. I bought 2 on sale, and wasted my money.

My two small dogs will do Anything for a piece of this tripe. Really, they would stand on their heads for it if they could figure out how to do it.
Best Price Found for Freeze-Dried Salmon
By Francesca
from Pleasant Hill , CA
Product color is much darker than typical freeze-dried salmon, but my hope is that it still qualifies as raw. Online description said "freeze-dried," while package description said "gently dried." Need more accurate online description. My cat does seem to enjoy it as a snack, and the price is great.
By Roodle
from Downingtown, PA
Our dog has colitis and is on a salmon and potato diet. I am always on the look out for treats for him. I love these. Sometimes they came in a hard form and other times in a softer freeze dried form - not sure why - but they do the trick. He loves them and his stomach has been in good shape. They are so perfect, I have them on auto buy
Way too hard for a cat
By Miniature horse breeder
from Caldwell, Texas
Have 6 cats, 1 toy pom dog & 28 horses...these filets are incredibly hard, even when soaked in warm water. No way could any of the cats eat it. I would be concerned feeding these to a large dog due to some of the pieces not breaking up and being a choke or irritation risk. Too bad as all my cats/dog love salmon...I'll just have to keep buying the expensive ones as I only feed natural treats. Perhaps if more moisture was left in them it would be a better product for cats.
Not for small animals
By Sampson's Buddy
from Tennessee
I bought four containers of these treats for my large lab and he loved them. Some of the chunks were really big, and I don't know how a cat would have been able to handle that without some help to break it down in size. The other thing to realize is these things are freeze-dried, so there is absolutely no moisture in them at all, so be sure to have some fresh water near by so your pet can wash the treat down. My biggest complaint is the smell. The fishy smell is powerful, but had my big boy's nose moving a million miles and hour with interest...mine not so much.
Freeze Dried Beef Lung Great!
By Buckeye Sally
from Ohio
I use it for training and rewards. I have show dogs and have yet to meet a dog that doesn't love it..
Poor quality
By BobbyBobWebb
from Asheville, NC
The treats are very tough. They were purchased for my cats, but the cats eventually gave up on trying to eat them. Unfortunately I will have to discard the remainder.
No Go

She took one piece coughed it up. As a treat she will not even touch it.

The Struggle for Egypt
A sweeping account of Egypt in the modern era: what Egypt is, what it stands for, and its relation to the world.

Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies

Steven A. Cook is Hasib J. Sabbagh senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He is an expert on Arab and Turkish politics as well as U.S.-Middle East policy. Dr. Cook is the author of The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square (Oxford University Press, Fall 2011), which won the Washington Institute for Near East Policy's gold medal in 2012, and Ruling But Not Governing: The Military and Political Development in Egypt, Algeria, and Turkey (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007).
Dr. Cook has published widely in foreign policy journals, opinion magazines, and newspapers, and he is a frequent commentator on radio and television. He also currently writes the blog, "From the Potomac to the Euphrates."
Prior to joining CFR, Dr. Cook was a research fellow at the Brookings Institution (2001�2002) and a Soref research fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (1995�96).
Dr. Cook holds a BA in international studies from Vassar College, an MA in international relations from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and both an MA and PhD in political science from the University of Pennsylvania. He speaks Arabic and Turkish and reads French.
The much-anticipated transitions to democratic political systems in the Middle East have not materialized. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other countries, a rather different reality of instability and repressive politics has emerged in the region. In my forthcoming book, Thwarted Dreams: The Persistence of Authoritarianism and Violence in the New Middle East, I argue that the revolts of 2010-11 represented a collective false dawn. While some uprisings failed to overthrow entrenched social and political orders, other states face potential break-ups in the absence of strong institutions. Still other countries are either experiencing a consolidation of authority that is blunting political opposition or struggling to find a formula that will allow them to escape political stalemate. Since the uprisings in 2010 and 2011, observers have often asserted that there is "no going back" in the Middle East, meaning a return to pre-uprising politics. That is surely true, but it does not imply—as so many have assumed—a democratic future for the region. Rather than a particularly difficult moment on the path in the transition to democracy, the Middle East's present uncertainty, violence, and authoritarianism is also its future.
Just a decade ago, Turkey seemed on track to becoming a full-fledged liberal democracy. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in 2002 and oversaw a period of dramatic political reform. By the time the European Commission recommended, in 2004, that Ankara begin pursuing EU membership, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was earning praise for having discovered a Turkish "third way," in which Islamists pursued political and economic reform without sowing dangerous social divisions. A decade later, however, Turkey's democratic transition is over. Although more Turks are voting and engaged in politics than ever before—thanks to AKP reforms that have helped produce a growing middle class—over time, the government has increasingly restricted their ability to contest its decisions. Pressure on journalists, restrictions on freedom of expression, police brutality, and limits on social media have all become hallmarks of Turkish politics. Overall, Turkish leaders have used the quasi-democratic institutions of the political system to advance an anti-democratic agenda. My work on Turkey—articles, blog posts, and roundtable meetings—aims to identify the trends in Turkish politics and what they may mean for the broader region.

As we approach the Turkish parliamentary elections, the relationship between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is coming under intense scrutiny, writes CFR�s Steven A. Cook. While many believe that Davutoglu can lead a faction of the ruling party to check the president, the reality is that it is impossible to outmaneuver Erdogan.

The increasing authoritarianism of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is transforming Turkey into an insular and regionally alienated country, says CFR�s Steven Cook. As Turkish relations with the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, Turkey risks becoming irrelevant and dangerous.

In evaluating Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan�s first ninety days in office, CFR�s Steven Cook writes that Erdogan has become so power-hungry that he is expanding the powers of the presidency that ever before. As Erdogan makes himself indispensable to all areas of Turkish politics, the more he is rolling back democracy.

When it comes to the fight against ISIS, the United States and Turkey are finding it difficult to cooperate because both have different goals, says CFR�s Steven Cook. While the United States is more focused on defeating ISIS, Turkey is more concerned with suppressing Kurdish nationalism, preventing the Syrian conflict from spilling over into Turkey, and bringing about regime change in Damascus.

Despite the recent parliamentary approval authorizing cross-border operations into Syria and Iraq, and even at the risk of jeopardizing peace talks with the Kurds as the city of Kobani remains under siege, Turkey is not fully committed to confronting ISIS militants head-on, says CFR's Steven A. Cook.

The ties between American allies and Hamas—a terrorist organization—contribute to instability and violence, CFR Senior Fellow Steven A. Cook told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittees on the Middle East and North Africa and Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade. Under political, financial, and military pressure from Israel, the United States, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, Hamas has found relief in support from Qatar and Turkey.

As the United States attempts to disentangle itself from the Middle East, the many conflicts between its regional allies are intensifying, writes CFR�s Steven Cook with Jacob Stokes and Alexander Brock. As the Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris, Turks, and Egyptians engage in proxy wars and instigate conflict among themselves, they threaten to draw the United States deeper into the complexities of the region.

With Egyptian Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's recent entry into the country's presidential race, many consider his victory a foregone conclusion. A Sisi presidency, however, will be fraught with numerous challenges, writes Steven A. Cook, coming from the Muslim Brotherhood, a crippled economy, Mubarak-era business tycoons, and Egypt's fractious security establishment.
Turkey's recent ban on Twitter is yet another indication of the country's illiberal turn, writes Steven A.

CFR's Steven Cook appears on MSNBC's Martin Bashir to debate the consequences of a possible U.S. missile strike in Syria, as well as the costs of supporting true regime change, as Syria's Bashar al-Assad threatens retaliation for any attack, with Lara Setrakian, managing editor of "Syria Deeply."
The crisis in Syria deepens as reports surface that the government is using chemical weapons against its civilians. Syria denies the allegation and President Obama has not made a final decision regarding military intervention. "There needs to be a signal sent to the international community that the use of these types of weapons are beyond the pale and that there would indeed be consequences as a result of using them," says CFR's Steven Cook on Marketplace.
Hundreds of people were killed in Egypt when armed forces cleared protest camps set up by supporters of ousted President Morsi. CFR's Steven Cook, in an interview on NPR, explains that the recent military crackdown on those protesters can be seen as an attempt by the Muslim Brotherhood to delegitimize the government appointed by the military and their use of violence and martyrdom, increasing sectarian tensions in the country.
In the wake of the military intervention in Egypt that removed President Mohammed Morsi from power, CFR's Steven Cook talks with NPR's Audie Cornish about the current and historical role of the Egyptian military in politics, arguing that the Egyptian military is apolitical and does not have an ideological commitment to one particular group, only wanting to protect its own interests and its reputation as the protector of the Egyptian state.
Egypt is bracing for increased violence between massive crowds for and against Mohamed Morsi. Tanks are in the streets of Cairo, and Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood claims there has been a military coup. Has the United States given its tacit approval? What are the potential consequences for democracy in Egypt and the Middle East? CFR's Steven Cook says, in an interview with KCRW's Warren Olney, that the United States is a side-show to the continuous struggle for power in Egypt, and that Washington's primary interest in the Middle East is security and not democracy.
The White House has promised to step up assistance to Syrian rebels, after determining that the Assad government has used chemical weapons against the rebels. CFR's Steven Cook says this may be too little, too late. In an interview on CNBC, Cook explains that the rebels are on the defensive, and in the meantime Assad's regime is strengthening its position.
Turkey's government is facing its biggest protests in years as demonstrators and police clashed for a 12th consecutive day. CFR's Steven Cook explains the situation in Turkey and the clashes between street demonstrators and the ruling AK party led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
CFR's Steven Cook, talking on NPR, examines Turkish prime minister Erdogan's illiberal and authoritarian turn in Turkey in light of the recent protests in Istanbul's Gezi Park and discusses what this means for the prospects of Turkish leadership in the region as a "democracy."
President Obama recognized the annual Remembrance Day for the estimated 1.5 million Armenians who died in the former Ottoman Empire; however, Obama stopped short of calling the term "genocide" to define the awful events of 1915. CFR's Steven Cook, in an interview with Larry Mantle on Air Talk, explains that the Obama administration does not want to create tension in U.S.-Turkey relations, and using the term "genocide" would do just that.
Ongoing violence in Egypt highlights the continued tensions between the government and the opposition, and raises questions about the prospects of Egypt's transition into a democracy. CFR's Steven Cook talks with Neal Conan of NPR, claiming that Egypt has quickly moved from an exhilarating moment of national unity to a deep polarization, which has complicated Morsi's ability to govern and calls into question Egypt's democratic transition. Should things continue to get worse, he says, there could possibly be a military intervention in Cairo.
CFR's Steven Cook discusses the latest on Egypt's first referendum on the draft constitution that will drive Egypt's policies in the future.
Steven A. Cook's The Struggle for Egypt, a chronicle of modern Egypt that culminates in the revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak, has been awarded the gold medal in The Washington Institute's 2012 Book Prize competition.
What is at stake for Israel's neighboring countries, in light of the new conflict between Israel and Hamas? "The Israelis could be looking at a situation in which their relations are deteriorating with Egypt, faced with the possibility of two fronts in Gaza, and in the north from Hezbollah, and the crumbling of its relationship with Jordan. All around, a nightmare scenario," says CFR's Steven Cook in an interview for PRI's The World.
CFR's Steven Cook talks to PRI's The World and explains the intense reluctance among officials at the Department of Defense, the State Department, and the White House to commit to involvement in Syria. He says that Washington wants to be sensitive to Syria's security concerns without getting directly involved and entering into a situation that might turn into another Afghanistan or something similar.
Egypt has blocked access to the country from the Gaza Strip in the wake of an assault on an Egyptian border station. "The residents of the Sinai have long felt that they have been neglected by the central government in Cairo. They have been abused by the police. There are significant socio-economic problems throughout the Sinai but, in particular in northern Sinai," says CFR's Steven Cook, speaking on PRI's The World. The real issue, he says, is whether post-revolutionary Egypt has the capacity to deal with the Sinai's complex challenges.
How influential has international help been for Assad, and what can the West do to stop the violence? CFR's Steven Cook appears on Fox News and says the Assad regime remains in place mainly due to the large amount of support it gets from the Russians and Iranians, while the rebels have received minimal international aid. Cook claims that this is not a "fair fight," and warns that we are in for much more bloodshed in Syria unless there is concerted international action.
The failure by the Arab League mission to stop the violence in Syria puts more pressure on the international community at large to intervene in that country, but the United States has no plans to do that. "If we want to see an end to the violence and a hope for democracy in Syria, the next stop is international intervention. If not, Assad will likely be around for some time and will kill many more people," argues CFR's Steven Cook on PRI's The World.
Slate.com recommends Dr. Steven Cook's new book, The Struggle for Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square, saying, "Cook brings the revolution to life."

It's on the way

It's on the wayThe past few months have been very inspiring!
In late May I started a personal art blog for the first time. I publish daily and have developed a foundation and consistent traffic. Since the summer I've seen astonishing and widespread crowdfunding success on many vibrant projects. Momentum continues to build for Internet based content. All of this is fueling a creative fervor in me and I'm in the midst of a push on a masterwork I've been nurturing for a long time. Looking to start sharing with the world next month in January 2013!
Re: It's on the wayThis is a magnum opus. I'm very proud of it.
You're gonna love the show. There's nothing like it and it'll take up all of 2013. That's how much content is coming. Anxious to share! Target date for launch next month in January 2013. I'll be hyping it more as the time draws near.
Re: It's on the wayI mentioned this upcoming project on my blog and posted the following in response to a comment from a follower who's looking forward to seeing it...
.................. I've been working on it intensely as of late. Excited to be at the point where I can finally share it with everyone. It's starting out as an online comic. I have enough content completed where I can publish a page a day for several months and more progress is made all the time. This is going to be very different. I don't think there's anything that can quite compare to it. Especially considering its history. One of the things I'm most enthusiastic about is that there's nobody in my way. With virtually every project I've ever done no matter where it was or who I was working with I always had to modify things or dumb it down or compromise. In every instance it affected the quality of what I was doing and what I was trying to achieve and not necessarily for the better. Very few situations if any gave me the freedom and latitude to really do my best. Everything was controlled to one degree or another and almost always turned into something lesser than what it could have been. This project is pure. From the quality of the art to its production standards to the characters and story there's nothing between me and what I'm doing and the fans and audience. The path between the project and the public is completely clear and open. I'm confident you'll see how this affects the entertainment experience. None of this would be possible without the Internet and the current environment for creating. I'm so glad there's a pure method of communication and distribution of content I can't begin to tell you. I talk about it all the time in class when I'm teaching and to anyone who's willing to listen. The age we're in for content creation has no precedent and I'm focusing the rest of my career to taking full advantage of it. Anyway, it'll all come out once this gets going and you'll see what I'm getting at. A New Day is on the way!
Re: It's on the wayJust a few minutes ago I reached a milestone goal with my creative productivity. To say it's been a lot of work is a gross understatement but I'm at the point with my content where I feel comfortable about publishing.
I have 10 chapters of an online comic ready to go. I can feed a page a day for several months while I continue to prepare new material to follow up for a longer period of time. It's simple but it's effective and best of all it's a story that's fun and hopefully folks will like what they see and get into it. Looking good for a January 2013 launch!
Re: It's on the wayI'm working on a monumental achievement.
Re: It's on the wayIndeed you are!!
Fist high!
Re: It's on the wayHello there folks. Been working on the project very intensely day and night around the clock and I'm almost finished with the massive body of material I've been striving to complete. Just a few more days before I'm at the point where I can begin to move forward with promotion and featuring it online.
Man this is a real marathon! The finish line is just up ahead right within sight!
Re: It's on the wayAll the very best Charles!
Re: It's on the wayDID IT !!!
Just finished this monumentally massive amount of artwork! Was looking to complete everything by the end of January and got it done with an hour and five minutes to spare! PHEW !!! Man, now I can get back to my life and better yet... Build a character based franchise online !!! KEEP CREATING

Uber Challenge 2014
Welcome to the 2014 version of Uber Challenge, the ultimate Fantasy Game competition! The objective of the Uber game is simple: Accumulate the most points in as many games as possible from the available ESPN Fantasy Games. You will be awarded points from your best team/entries by the following criteria:
Uber 2014 Scoring Breakdown
Cat | Criteria | Pts |
A | Best 5 teams. Max 3 teams from any 1 game. | 5,000 |
B | Best 8 games | 4,000 |
C | Best 4 games | 1,000 |
Total possible UBER 2014 Points | 10,000 |
See the Uber 2014 Schedule for a list of all the games being offered this year. Note that all games are subject to change.
There is no formal entry into Uber. If you've ever played (or are currently playing) any ESPN Fantasy Game you're already entered. UBER is not only about the competition (though there are prizes awarded), it's also a rating system on how well you stack up against the best Fantasy Game players in the world. Good luck with the season!

AFAIK theres not a complete sole list of games, you have to look check in different sites. Try tuxgames, they are one of the most complete ones.
Hi, I was wondering if there's a complete (or somewhat complete) list of closed-source games that are still being sold?
I'm aware of a few titles, but I'm not sure what's still being sold, and what's only available on Ebay now.
AFAIK theres not a complete sole list of games, you have to look check in different sites. Try tuxgames, they are one of the most complete ones.
They unfortunately don't include the AAA ones, Q3, UT2K4 and the like.
The only one I can suggest is Cedega's GDDB, which lists known games, and in that, what works with Cedega, and what's native.
It's not a good database...
Try this list at holarse linux gaming. The list is in german but rather complete. That is in the list are some games which are only usable with wine/cedega. But those should all be listed in this list. That is subtract the 2nd list from the first and you should have a list of (most) commercial, native linux games. That is to be sure that the list is native, click on the game of interest and check if they mention wine or cedega on the page, if they do not, it is likely that it is really native Linux.
icculus has a list of games with non-/commercial titles, but I don't know if that is still being kept up-to-date.
http://www.linuxgamingworld.com/ -- They seem to have a hotlist of some of what I'd consider worthwhile commercial games. TuxGames has already been mentioned (and you should go there to check what's available there out...) as well- they've got the other good stuff up for sale.
Thanks everyone!
thanks everyone for such a great list
this was extremely helpful to me

I purchased this same item several months ago and loved it, unfortunately, it was smaller than I had anticipated. Therefore, I purchased another one to enlarge the surface area which I needed. The second one was not exactly the same as the first one I purchased, however, they are both great and look well together.
I had the Little Red River Kitchen Island in my kitchen for a year now and it's just as sturdy and beautiful as it was the day that I installed it. It arrived boxed very well and fully assembled. I was so relieved having not to assemble another item. Little Red River Kitchen Island is painted very well, beautiful warm color that compliments my kitchen design. There is a storage area near the bottom of the table serves to old my short folding ladder that I use to reach items in upper kitchen cabinets. I love the butcher block top for cutting veggies. However, I rarely use it for that because it's so nice and I have granite block that I prefer to use for that. I use the butcher block top as an eating area where I sit, rest, eat and watch some boob-tube prior to completing my meal preps. I am thinking about ordering another Little Red River Kitchen Island to widen its area to a longer island. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!
Got this to match the Caney Creek Kitchen Island (black). All are high quality. This small island matched perfectly. These islands are very sturdy.
I love this island. Its so much sturdier than you would think since it is small. I love it and what a great price too!
Love this island, not too big but big enough. Would definitely recommend this for someone needing a little more countertop space. Looks like a more expensive item than its actual price.

Re: Read
Being an English teacher, I am obligated to buy this if it prints. ramyb will finally make it into my collection.
hawk3ye wrote:I think it's a good clarification - filling letters with a crowd and making it look like it could be a simple crowd image with a clipping mask over it is a pretty cool feat I'd say. I don't see it as "easier" than the other derby approach of shaping objects into letters or words. And I agree, loose rules make for multiple & interesting executions. Keep it up, Apelad! i can't wait to see if I can get these for my whole family Sat or Sun.
Alas, the answer is no. But I'm giving away the original drawing for this on my blog.
I really wanted to buy this shirt
Re: LIFE
The fact that this shirt didn't print makes me pretty sad. I suppose my tastes are sufficiently different than the Wooting masses that I should just accept that the Derby will always fail me; the only times it hasn't are times I'm unaware of what's Derbying.
Who knows though, maybe this one will get an editor's choice, or some other second chance? I can always dream.
Re: we're not unreasonable
This is what shirt.woot.com needs! It is a shame this didn't win or get made into a shirt. Sometimes, this damn site makes me so sick of its selections. Great job, hopefully, we can see more of this type of work become the norm.
sagakun wrote:Who knows though, maybe this one will get an editor's choice, or some other second chance? I can always dream.
sigh. maybe we could get together and force a printing elsewhere!
I loved this shirt....hopefully it can win a Double Take Derby! I want it!
I'm surprised it didn't get an honorable mention too but there were a lot of amazing designs and they deserve it. I will do my best so that this design gets a print somewhere, cause I had a lot of fun with it and I really like it. So...if you want to know if I get it somewhere else you can follow me on facebook. I'm not trying to get fans desperately! Just if you want to know it By the way, thanks for the great response. It feels great when so many people supports your work :D
[quote]Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=61432]Inconceivable (V2) [/url Best Movie ever! Prepare to die if this is not chosen!
will be following you. How did this not get an honorable mention.
I really wish this design won...
Re: I love science
Love shirts like this I love SCIENCE

Agreed on both counts. Really, it made 5th in the Derby and didn't get an HM? For shame, Woot people!
It's odd how you often just don't see a design amongst all the little squares. Sorry I missed this. I would have voted for it. In addition, I would love a tee with just the "T", ants and t-bone.
I really want this one. well done.
how can i get this shirt?! love! :-)
trulyepic wrote:Think your right, but I'm gonna see how long it lasts
I love this shirt! How can i order one? :-)
A good shirt for anyone who has collaborated on anything! Haven't we all? Thanks! I love it and will buy it!
I love it and our children need to do more of this! I'll buy it!
I like the shirt--is the "One" in reference to #1? Nice shirt, but not sure I get it! Please clarify. Thx!
Very cool & lucky shirt! Gotta do this one Woot! I'll buy it!
Can someone please make this shirt, I really want to buy a couple of these! Awesome idea!
