I used to create this webcomic called “Cheap ZEN Soup” a couple of years ago, but it never really took off – and then I got caught up in my freelance writing duties and I stopped having time for the daily webstrip experiment routine.
Looking back in perspective, sometimes I cannot help but wonder… should I keep working on this experiment? Would anybody possibly get into it? Would there be an audience… who knows? Is that even important (ok I’m going into rhetorics as we speak)?
Whatever, just check this out:http://cheapzensoup.com/2009/01/01/begin…
Let me know what you think. It’s kind of like a meta-webcomic with a twist. It you like stuff like Scott McCould’s meta-comics, or niche manga like Bakuman, G Senjou Heaven’s Door, and Even a Monkey can Draw Manga, maybe even old-school cartoonists like Harvey Pekar or Robert Crumb… maybe you’ll enjoy this as well.

Hello All
I am new to internet marketing, i did The 30 Day Challenge by Ed Dale twice. i have two blogs about chocolate and would like to start selling chocolate by famous manufacturers.
Does anyone know the best way to go about this. Should i write to ask for distributors and dropshipping and if there are reliable ones to do business with it.
I have seen lots of sites in this niche.
Many thanks in advance to all
Dori

I see the affiliates link on every major site I go on, I signed up with a few. My only problem is, what sites do I or can I put them on? Any and all detailed info would be great. If you do or have done this before, leave your opinion on whether or not it is a spare change maker or a break the bank maker! lol.
thanks 4 any serious answers…

I watched part of this documentary about how second-hand clothes from the US end up in Africa. Apparently the Salvation Army doesn’t even unpack most of their clothing donations, they SELL them to dealers in Africa who mark them up 400%. This industry has put almost all of the domestic clothing manufacturing out of business and a lot of people who had those skills are out of jobs, many of them gone from hand-making traditional clothing to selling second-hand US clothes at markets. Would people still donate to the Salvation Army if they knew what they were really doing?
Not to mention the whole “we don’t hire gays” policy but that’s another story …

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ
الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ
زَيْتُونَةٍ لَا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُورٌ
عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ
وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ 35 فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ
يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ 36رِجَالٌ لَا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ
عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ ۙ يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ
فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْأَبْصَارُ 37 لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَيَزِيدَهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۗ
وَاللَّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ 38
Sadaqa Allahu Al Aliu Al’atheem
Surat Al Noor 35-38
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The Parable of His Light is as if there were a
Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed
in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from
a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of
the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire
scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide
whom He will to His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables
for men: and Allah doth know all things.
(35) (Lit is such a light) in houses, which Allah hath
permitted to be raised to honour; for the celebration,
in them of His name: in them is He glorified in the
mornings and in the evenings, (again and again)―
(36) By men whom neither traffic nor merchandise
can divert from the Remembrance of Allah nor from
regular Prayer, nor from the practice of regular
Charity: their (only) fear is for the Day when hearts
and eyes will be transformed (in a world wholly new)― (37)
Sadaqa Allahu Alalliu Al’Atheem
Imam Muhammad bin Ali al Baqir said:
“The houses referred to in verse 36 of An Nur are the houses of the prophets and the holy Imams.”
Thalabi, in the interpretation of this verse, relates from Anas bin Malik and Buraydah that when the Holy Prophet recited this verse, Abu Bakr stood up and asked, pointing towards the house of Ali and Fatimah, whether that house was included in the houses referred to and the Holy Prophet replied:
“Yes, and it is better than other houses to which this verse refers.”
Qutadah, an eminent scholar, says that once he told Imam Jafar bin Muhammad as Sadiq, while sitting in his company:
“I sat with many a great scholar, but my heart never felt the awe and reverence in any company it feels in your presence.”
The Imam said:
“Because you are sitting in the house glorified by Allah in the Quran (and recited this verse).”
