ikharah to ask if they should perform obligatory action; for instance, to ask if they should pray their dawn prayer tomorrow.
If you do not feel that your prayer has been answered, this could mean that God the Glorious might want you to continue asking for His Divine Guidance and Assistance; so, continue in your supplication and never give up hope. You can pray the Istikhara prayer repeatedly until you feel confident and comfortable.
?O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, I have none. And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and my religion, my livelihood, and my affairs, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it and ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it.??
Regardless of the outcome of your prayer inquiry, realize that it was the will of God, the All-Wise. Do not regret your decision afterward, as doing so would be to doubt God?s Wisdom and Guidance. One should simply say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) and go forth with the decision. One should not seek to follow one?s whims, desires, and one?s own egotistic inclinations after the answer to one?s supplication become clear. And realize, my dear brother or sister, God knows what is best for you. You might find something good in what you initially perceive as bad, and bad in what you perceive as good.
Perhaps a matter can be beneficial for someone in this world, but detrimental for one in the next world. This is why we leave the decisions to the Almighty, as He Knows Best and we do not.
Stone Furniture and Mill Machinery
The millstone is surrounded by a wooden case (or 'tun' or 'vat'), similar to a barrel. Its purpose is to collect the flour which has been ground between the stones and ensure it flows down the spout into the waiting sack below.
On top of the case sit the hopper legs ('horse') and hopper. Grain is fed from the hooper into the stones by the shoe. The flow of grain into the stones is regulated by how fast the shoe is shaken.
If the stone furniture is not built correctly then the grain will not flow into the stones properly. If the slope of the shoe is too steep grain will flow too quickly, if the slope is too shallow grain does not flow at all. The shoe also needs to be the correct shape to keep the grain from falling out of the side of the shoe and on to the top of the stones. This grain will not be ground and instead will end up as whole grains in the flour spoiling it.
To make white flour a flour dressing machine is used. This sifts wholemeal flour to remove the bran and separate the remaining flour, the finest particles being the white flour.
Other machinery we have supplied include mixing machines for flour and grain, smutters for grain cleaning and crushers for producing flaked grains.3rd District Supervisor (805) 781-4336

Discussion in 'The Thunderdome' started by CardinalVol, May 2, 2012.
After being told my everybody looking at ultrasounds that everything was normal, my wife was told by her OB today that she has a case of placenta previa. I am currently trying to decide whether I should be concerned, freak out, or totally freak out as I know very little about it other than the 15 minutes I have searched the internet to read about it. Based on the reading, my initial response is freak out.
How far along is she? I'm fairly certain she will be put on meds to prevent early delivery and almost certain she'll have to deliver via C-section. It is certainly a worry, but as long as she takes it easy and follows orders everything should be fine. I'll keep you guys in my prayers anyway. Just tell her the goal is 36 weeks.
my sister in law had it and she delivered normally. i think there are degrees to how bad it is though.
I don't know anything about it at all, and will keep you guys in my prayers, but searching the internet is a sure-fire recipe for freak out. You can probably search for complications from hangnails and find all kinds of horror stories that'll cause you to panic about the one on your thumb.
long story short our fertility doctor essentially told us very early that my wife was going to miscarriage or our babies would have severe genetic problems because one week they were growing too slowly. we are now 15 weeks later and the genetic odds came back 1 in 100,000 and they are completely healthy. my wife practically ceased functioning after reading the internet.
Your OB not give you any prognosis?
Did they do the normal sonogram or the, uh, more intrusive one?
It kinda all depends on where the placenta is positioned. I wouldn't freak out just yet.
I wasnt there and got the brief description. I know its not totally covered and that it is just partial.
As for web search, i was hitting the reputable sites, not so and so's blog. Webmd and the like.
Well partial is better. I can't give you a lot more info than that. She have any other health issues?
But good call with webmd. Just avoid stuff where people can "comment". Like 95% of those are total insanity.
If message boards have taught me anything, it's never, ever, ever take comments with more than a grain of salt.
I think part of the reason we're both a bit nervous is that some family friends lost a child due to a placenta rupturing, and neither of us know anything about this. The wife is at 23 weeks this week and the last ultrasound was taken her 20th week.
Cardinal - my wife is 23 weeks this week as well. I'll be thinking of you and your family, man. I don't have any data points to offer you... but I wish you guys the very best. This whole pregnancy thing is enough to drive you crazy with concern/worry/etc.
Good luck man. Prayers with you. If you would like, send me a PM describing what you know. My wife is a neo-natal intensive care nurse. I will show her the message and have her respond with any answers/insight she can give. She deals with this situation regularly. She won't be home from work until 8-8:30 tonight, but feel free to ask anything, my friend.
Good luck and God Bless Card. Im sure it will all work out fine.
Hope everything goes well, Card.
The wife has agreed to take it easy (a miracle in itself) for the next few weeks.
Seems that there isn't much to truly be overly concerned about for another 4 weeks really. Her doctor has been at this for 20 years, he isn't overly concerned as of now, and I'm guessing he's seen this a time or two. More reading and talking to family/friends has revealed that they know several folks who were diagnosed early on and it eventually corrected itself. Hopefully that will be the case here. If not, then we will cross any bridge we come to when we get there, and no need to worry about it now.
Thanks for the supportive posts gents. I appreciate it.
If you want to try out a new doctor I have a great recommendation. Dude is brilliant and everyone -- including my wife -- loved him.
Mel Gibson, Dream Gynecologist?
Honestly this an amazing and integral part of my two week vacation in Iceland. We knew we would be out dusk so we break daylight at an attraction until dark. And my family cooks/chefs so we bought all the food we needed for our road trip here. Eggs, flour, milk, cereal, bacon, fresh veggies, pasta, lemons, herbs, fruit, trail mix, coffee, sugar, instant ramen, a cooler and ice packs for frozen seafood to make seafood pasta and fancying up the ramen and for a mid week whiskey and ribeye roast after the blue lagoon. 

It also super interesting just how different the resturant culture is in foreign countries. Like McDonald’s in France actually had meals that looked nice and not like a smooshed sandwich of sad. 

The Costco pizza here was a different league than the costco in America.
