I have been reliably informed that it may get a little warm over the next few months, which means my humble abode will turn into an oven. I need to figure out a cooling solution pronto.

I threw out the old fan this winter, and the quesition is should it be replaced by another fan or by something fancier?

Anyone have any fancy cooling solutions that are cheap, cheerful and effective?

Geek factor is always a bonus.

What is a friend? According to the dictionary it's “a person who one knows and with who one has a bond of mutual affection". Ok, so the next question, who are our friends? Really think about it. 

Who are the people that we choose to socialise with? Whose interests and goals match our own? Whose company do we love being in?

Most likely, you've started to think of those people that you've met at school, university or work, and perhaps for some of you, like me, you thought of your families too (yes seriously). 

Just the other day I was thinking about this and earlier today I was listening to a talk about how the Holy Prophet (SAW) will intercede for us on the Judgement. It was in urdu so I can't translate it with the exact same words and passion which touched me so here are a few ahadith about it:

The Holy Prophet(saw)the Intercessor of the Sinners said, “Allah gave me the option of
choosing between the power of intercession or having half of my Ummah admitted to
Paradise without any reckoning. I chose the power of intercession because that is more
important and will be more useful. Do you assume that my intercession is for the pious
Muslims? No, on the contrary, it is for those sinners who are steeped in sins and have
committed grave crimes."
