The Horse was the primary and most common mode of transportation in the American West at the time of Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption. Horses serve as mounts for the player in each game.
Red Dead Revolver
The player rides a horse during certain missions in Red Dead Revolver. The player also fights against NPCs riding on horseback. During the mission End of the Line, the player must jump back and forth between a horse and a moving train.
Red Dead Redemption
Horses are fast, adaptable, carry equipment and allow the rider to utilize weapons while riding. In-game horses come in a vast variety of breeds, appearances and colors; several of which have different pattern variations.
Horses in Red Dead Redemption are very realistic in their movement and behavior, reacting to their environment and exhibiting self-preservation instincts. For example, a horse will generally refuse to jump off a cliff despite attempts by the player to guide it over. In addition, they will become panicked when riding too close to the edge of steep drops.
Horses may wander if they have not been tied and shy away from gunfire and animals, especially snakes, and will also get nervous and spooked by any potentially dangerous animals moving towards or that are near the player. Horses that have wandered away can be recalled to the player using the game's whistle function, which will prompt the horse to come to the player. If the horse does not trot to side, then it is likely that the horse has been killed or died. If the horse has died, continue on foot until finding another horse, or whistle after a time and a randomly selected horse will come up to you; if Marston has a horse deed, using the deed and whistling avoids the delay. (In multiplayer the same breed of horse will come).
The player can lasso enemies from horseback and either hogtie or drag them (which eventually results in death), gun down foes from horseback or even trample them with the mount. Horses, just like the characters, will each have unique personalities, temperaments and performance characteristics. Horses can be killed in combat, by animals, by the player, and from falls. If the player is stranded in the wilderness without a horse, they are presented with a situation to attain one.
All horses in the game have a certain level of stamina, represented by the blue bar to the left of the mini-map. Players must keep an eye on the stamina level - if it gets too low through constant spurring, the horse will slow, then become exhausted and buck the player off onto the ground. There are items that can be purchased from shops that will refill a horse's stamina (Apples and Horse Pills).
Horses can jump over obstacles such as fences, and will jump automatically if going fast enough.
Depending on where the player acquires a horse, there are varying levels of loyalty between them. Essentially, choosing to lasso a wild horse and break it in for riding, this horse may not be too kind on the idea and may buck the player off. However, after some time passes between the horse and Marston, the horse will learn to trust its rider, Apples are a good way to build trust. A loyal horse is much less likely to buck or rear, and whistling for it when it is stolen will cause it to buck the thief off and return to the player. Of course, the way players treat the horse will also play a role in their loyalty. Spurring a horse nearly to death, the horse may opt to buck off. The same goes for a horse that is forced to run for very long periods of time without any rest; a horse that is being ridden too hard will neigh in protest, which is a hint to ease off. Basically, don't allow horses to become jaded and they will have much more positive feelings towards you. The origins of horses also play a part in how much health the horse starts off with, i.e. a horse that was taken from a farm will have more health than a horse taken from a roaming gang.
The player's "trusty steed," established as Marston's own horse either by hitching it or by using a horse deed, has a brown saddle with small saddlebags and a blanket roll across the back. All other saddles in the game are black and lack the accessories. When a wild horse is broken, it will be shown without a bridle or saddle. However, once hitched, the horse will have Marston's brown saddle after the game is saved. All stolen or loaned horses will have a black saddle until hitched.
Horse Power
Horses also provide the physical power for stagecoaches, wagons and carts. Between one to four horses pull the weight of vehicles of various weights, and at various speeds; these horses seem to be randomly assigned, and the horses present do not seem to affect the speed of the vehicle; regardless, it is impossible to change the horses hitched to a vehicle manually. The player can drive these horses by occupying the driver's seat of the trailers. Horses can break free if the vehicle is damaged.
Domesticated vs. Wild
Wild horses react differently than domesticated horses, often gathering in small herds in the wilderness and running away from the player when approached. Some missions require the taming or breaking of a wild horse in order to domesticate them. The hunting statistics maintained in the game make a distinction between domesticated and wild horses, with the latter being required for the Unnatural Selection achievement/trophy while killing the former is counted as a crime.
Horses, or rather the ability to summon a particular breed of horse, can be purchased from ranchers/stores, in the form of deeds. One star horse deeds cost $100 ($50 with high honor, or low honor at Thieves' Landing.), two star horse deeds cost $500 ($250 with high or low honor), and three star horse deeds for $1,500 ($750 with high or low honor). To use a horse deed, open the Satchel, select the deed, then whistle, and the horse will run to the player.
Note that although horse deeds are listed in the "Consumables" section of the satchel, a horse deed is never consumed and may be used over and over again. You aren't buying a horse so much as an unlimited supply of them.
Using the horse deed causes the game to autosave, even if the horse is still alive. This is an easy way to save without having to search for a place to camp. If the player is riding a horse already, using the deed will cause the old horse to run away as soon as the player dismounts it; if they have a loyal horse nearby they are not riding, it will run away when the deed is used.
Horses can also be stolen from hitching posts or by killing or forcibly dismounting the rider. The horse can then be ridden by the player. To make a stolen horse the player's "trusty steed," it must be tied to a Hitch.
An easy way to obtain a horse is to find a horse being ridden by an NPC, then simply push the horse (make sure your gun is put away) until the rider falls off. You can then mount the horse without any trouble. However, make sure that the rider is not a lawman, because then you will get a bounty. Another easy way is to find a hitched horse, and again, push the horse, and the horse will be unhitched. Again, you can mount the horse without any trouble.
Wild horses can be captured and tamed. As with stolen horses, they must subsequently be hitched before becoming the player's trusty steed.
Horse Taming
- Main article: Horse Taming
The player is able to capture and tame wild horses for later use. Some settlements also offer the player the opportunity to tame horses as an activity. Visit the Horse Taming page for more information.
Wild horses can be hunted, but killing domesticated horses counts as a crime. When either kind of horse is killed, they can be skinned and their meat and hide sold for cash.
- Main article: Horse Breeds
The different breeds of horses in the game are categorized by stars. One star horses are the worst, and are jaded, or sick. Two star horses are the most common to encounter in the world. One and two star horse deeds can be bought at any time. There are three 3-star horses: the American Standardbred, the Kentucky Saddler, and the Hungarian Half-bred. Each of these three horses must be broken before their deeds can be purchased.
- Kentucky Saddler
- American Standardbred
- Hungarian Half-Bred
- War Horse (DLC,) (Cut content in multiplayer)
- Dark Horse
- Lusitano
- Turkmen
- Infested Ardennais
- Jaded Tersk
- Lusitano Nag
- Ardennais
- Cleveland Bay
- Dutch Warmblood
- Highland Chestnut
- Painted Quarter Horse
- Painted Standardbred
- Quarter Horse
- Standardbred Pinto
- Tersk
- Tobiano Pinto
- Welsh Mountain
- Dead Horse (cut content,) (Can be seen dead in singleplayer)
- Undead Horse (Undead Nightmare)
- War (Undead Nightmare)
- Famine (Undead Nightmare)
- Pestilence (Undead Nightmare)
- Death (Undead Nightmare)
- Unicorn (Undead Nightmare)
In multiplayer, horses are unlocked by the player by reaching certain multiplayer ranks. Five horses can be unlocked:
- Lusitano Nag (Level 4)
- Turkmen (Level 8)
- Cleveland Bay (Level 22*)
- Hungarian Half-bred (Level 33*)
- American Standardbred (Level 40*)
- After reaching Legend, the three noted breeds are unlocked at lower ranks. See the Multiplayer page for details.
Once unlocked, the horse can be set as the player's chosen mount in the Outfitter. This is equivalent to hitching a horse in single player. Horses that have not been unlocked can be stolen from other players or NPCs, but can not be made the player's "trusty steed" as in single player (whistling will always bring the mount chosen in the Outfitter).
Undead Nightmare
Horses are basicly the same as they were in Red Dead Redemption however, when the players horse is killed and the player whistles for another too soon an Undead Horse will appear but will still obey Marston. The Undead Horse cannot be killed without explosions, headshots, Fire Bottles or Holy Water.
Undead Horses have unlimited stamina but will not obey Marston untill he is undead. When Marston becomes undead, all uninfected horses will do the same as undead horses did pre-Marstons infection and will not obey him. They are also one of the very few undead animals that do not attack living creatures.
Undead Horses can be found and obtained the same way they were in Red Dead Redemption.
- A horse can be put over a dead animal that has yet to be skinned to skip the cutscene, instead of watching the animation. If the horse is positioned correctly over the animal while skinning, the animation won't play and the animal's properties will appear. This also works with looting from a dead person, but not with Herbs or Chests.
- It is possible to carefully drop from a ledge of a certain height (e.g. the roof of a building) and land mounted on the saddle of the horse, a stunt performed in many westerns. Despite many rumours and skeptics calling this a myth, it is confirmed do-able. The player can either jump or fall off a ledge naturally and land on their horse. This can easily be done by jumping over the balcony of the Armadillo saloon directly above a hitched horse. (only works in singleplayer)
- It's possible to use the sidetrack near railroads to travel faster the same way as using roads, though if the player comes too close to tracks its considered as "offroad" and the speed of the horse will drop rapidly.
- It is possible to make the horse's stamina last indefinitely while riding top speed by pressing the sprint button once every 3 gallops. Additionally, the pressing of the sprint button 2 times every 4 gallops decreases stamina very slowly.
- We've all seen the classic western move when the person jumps up onto a galloping horse and, well, with good timing, this is possible in game. When you whistle your horse, run away from it at full force. The second you see the horse, press Triangle/Y, press it and keep tapping X/A. This can lead to an extremely fast mounting and helps when chasing horse thieves or running from police.
- In the time period of this game, many modern colors had not been established and recognized. A bay was called red. A chestnut was called light brown. A buckskin was called either a dun or dark palomino. Grays were called white or off-white. (A gray has white coat and black skin, a white has pink skin).
- If a player starts a multiplayer free roam session in Blackwater and whistles for their horse, there is significant chance that their currently saved single player horse will respond instead of their multiplayer unlocked horse. For example, a level 30 player could whistle for their Cleveland Bay, but instead the Kentucky Saddler they last used in single player will come. This glitch even extends to the War Horse. The bug seems to occur predominantly in Private Free Roam rather than Public, but once summoned the horse can sometimes transfer if the player changes between the two modes.
- Sometimes, mainly in Mexico, a tame horse will just randomly appear.
- Sometimes in horseherds, there may be horses with saddles, carts and even NPC's on them; while the former two could simply be excused as horses which have had their owners killed, the latter shows this to be a spawning bug. The player can lasso them normally. But when the player mounts up on them everything will disappear. It's impossible to ride the cart and the player will just walk through it as if it wasn't there. The NPCs don't talk nor respond to the player. Shooting at them will have no effect other than spooking the horse, though killing the horse will just make the NPC stand up and walk away.
- When standing under a ledge, for example under a large cliff, if the player whistles for the horse, it is possible for the horse to proceed to the player, and fall off the cliff dying instantly on impact, depending on the height of the cliff. The player must then find another horse, or use a horse deed, because the horse will be permanently lost for the player.
- When near a railroad track, it is possible for the player to whistle for their horse and have it run over by an oncoming train. This will cause the horse to explode in an unrealistic manner, causing the player to permanently lose their horse. A new horse must be found, or a horse deed can solve this problem.
- Sometimes if the player feeds their horse multiple servings of Horse Pills, it may buck the player off then run away. Whistling for it will not cause it to return. Instead, it will trot away from the player and will later die.
- Occasionally, the Kentucky Saddler gained from Bonnie MacFarlane will change color and appear to be a different horse (Painted Standardbred is common). However, the "new" horse retains the muscle tone and performance of the Saddler so can be ignored. This most commonly occurs when presented with a horse on a mission (such as in Must a Saviour Die?) even if the player whistles for his own horse. (Unknown whether this occurs with other horses but suspected).
- Sometimes, while at MacFarlane's Ranch, a glitch may occur in which a horse will fly and then disappear.
- Sometimes, if the player hitches a horse while infront of it, the player will rapidly move back and forth inside the horse. This can easily be fixed just by aiming and moving.
- Occasionally, some horses may turn invisible.
- The horses in Red Dead Redemption utilize the Euphoria engine to create realistic procedural animation, an engine also utilized by GTA IV and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
- Leave a horse on the railroad while a train is coming and the horse will be violently killed. (it will blow up in an unrealistic manner similar to that of the Dastardly achievement/trophy.)
- You can shoot your horse in the head while riding. This will of course kill it, but can result in some amusing ragdoll physics of the character as they fall off.
- If you bring your horse up to sprinting speed and enter dead eye, it can survive infinite shots to the head.
- The one-star horses are the ones with their ribs showing and no muscles can be seen. The two-star horses have slightly more muscle, and the three-star horses will have well-developed muscles and will look very healthy.
- Horses will, on very rare occasions, die instantly due to geometry bugs; the horse will simply drop down dead for no obvious reason.
- Marston will sometimes stroke the horse or adjust his saddle whilst standing still.
- John takes a great liking to horses, preferring them over the Automobile as a means of transport.
- John and Jack Marston both have an aversion to killing horses. After shooting a horse, John says "I can only blame my childhood for so long," and Jack says while skinning a horse, "Is this what I've become, a horse-killer?"
- NPCs may sometimes call their horses a name, such as "Abraham," "Annabelle," "Justice," or " Bessy."
- Shooting a horse's eye will not kill it, but rather the bullet will go through the eye of the horse.
- Several Random Encounters involve horses, including NPCs stealing the player's horse ("In Need of a Ride") or other NPC's horses ("Grand Theft Stallion").
- Many of the noises that the horses make are common film stock sound effects.
- NPCs can sometimes be heard shouting at their horse "Woah, Annabelle, woah!" or "Giddyup Annabelle."
- The player killing their own horse will result in an honor decrease unless they are wearing the bandana.
- Although every horse saddle in the game comes with a holster for repeaters, they do not function as anything other then asthetic decoration, and there is not a single occasion where anyone actually uses them.
- Falling on a horse's back will automaticly make you ride it.
The taming and riding or killing of horses are included in the completion of the following five available achievements/trophies:
10 gamerscore
Bronze bronze
Break the Kentucky Saddler, American Standardbred and the Hungarian Half-bred.

Video for the weekend and cleaning out the attic
These videos stoke the fires of my love affair with (for) AK.
In general, I agree with the way Jerry runs the team and the moves that KOC makes and doesn't make. However, it really makes me sad to see what AK once was. Right now, I want to demand immediate changes to put AK in that situation again. I don't think I'm crazy to believe that the Jazz would be unstoppable if that AK was playing for us right now.
I honestly don't think that he's checked out, so to speak, because he got the big contract that his next eight generations of descendants can comfortably live off of. I think his passion for the game has been checked by the situation he's been put in. Imagine that you have a job you love and are great at, and that your boss decides to transfer you to a different department. You can do your new job well enough, but you don't have that same passion for your new job, and the spark you used to have slowly goes out. Or, imagine that KOC signs some hotshot PG and Jerry moves DWill to the 2. Would DWill happily accept that situation, and continue to play with the same fire? And not that it makes a great deal of difference, but DWill hasn't even gotten All-Star recognition yet like AK had before FB came along.
Other stuff:
–Stephen Jackson gets fined for making a trade request, but nothing happens to Boozer for lying about the Jazz saying they want to trade him and going on a radio tour of cities he wants to be traded to. You can't tell me he was smart enough to figure out this fine-free strategy all on his own. His agent was in on this.
–Jarron Collins is headed to Portland's training camp. On his time in Utah, he said, "It was an honor and a privilege to play for the organization and to play with all my teammates throughout the years and be around all the people in the organization." Classy (and very well-spoken) guy, knew his role, did what was asked of him. No complaints from me.
–Fess left the Ukranian national team because the coach had an issue with him taking smoking breaks during games? "I watched game Ukraine — Hungary. It was moment when Fesenko leave bench and was out of game couple minutes. Some rumours that he smoke. After that was serious conversation between him and coach and after that Fesenko leave team."
–FB makes the NBA All-Volatile Team: "Who else can guarantee to become quickly frustrated with his position within the roster, and basically mail in each game? Perhaps this nickname is the only similarity this guy has to Utah's Mailman of yore – the "Mail-it-in-man". With the competitive natures present on this team, his increasing lethargy as the season wears on is guaranteed to spark a furor or ten." Shouldn't he actually be on the All-Apathy Team?
—Draft Remix: AK gets taken 9th in 1999.
–Thank the Good Lord above Media Day and Training Camp are just hours away. I've started to do fantasy mock drafts…for fun. Not for the experience or practice, but just to get my kicks.

Thanks for the chance.
I've read all your books and recommend you to everyone I know. I was moving to Texas and my daughter found a duplex for me - which is right across the street from an Islamic Mosque. I had some trepidation at first (due to my ignorance), but they are great neighbors and include me in their social gatherings. I'm really looking forward to The Guardian, primarily because I've loved every other book you've written, but also partly to see what you have to say about Islam. Thanks so much for giving me so many pleasureable hours. I just bought a Kindle Fire, but so far I am mostly still reading paper books. email@example.com

Large quantities of alcohol have been associated with an increased risk of liver cancer. However, according to the client's statement, the client understood that no alcohol may be consumed. Thus the client requires reinforcement that alcohol is the substance associated with liver cancer; however, clarification is needed that it is an excessive intake that is associated with liver cancer.
Decreased aldosterone secretion results in a fluid volume deficit. Clients are encouraged to maintain an oral intake of 3000 mL/day to avoid dehydration. Clients require a high sodium diet to replace losses. Snacks between meals are encouraged, to prevent hypoglycemia. Clients with Addison's disease require hormone-replacement therapy with corticosteroids.
Addisonian crisis is a serious, life-threatening response to acute adrenal insufficiency that is most commonly precipitated by a major stressor. The client with addisonian crisis may have any of the signs or symptoms of Addison's disease, but the primary problems are sudden profound weakness; severe abdominal, back, and leg pain; hyperpyrexia followed by hypothermia; peripheral vascular collapse; coma; and renal failure.
Typical discharge instructions after AICD implantation include reporting to the physician symptoms indicating dysrhythmias, such as fainting, blackouts, rapid pulse, weakness, or nausea. The physician may want to be called each time the device discharges. At a minimum, the client should keep a log recording the date, time, symptoms, and activity before the shock, the number of shocks delivered, and how the client felt afterward. The physician will use this information in managing the ongoing medication regimen. The community emergency medical system should be notified about the device, so they are prepared if they are called to the home. Contingency plans for health care should be made before travel. The family also should become trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
No special restrictions are imposed after a bone scan. The client is encouraged to drink large amounts of water for 24 to 48 hours to flush the radioisotope from the system. No hazards to the client or staff exist from the minimal amount of radioactivity of the isotope.
A hepatitis A vaccine is available for administration to protect against the infection. In addition, a standard immunoglobulin for passive immunization can be given prophylactically or after exposure. The immunoglobulin for passive immunization provides protection from infection for approximately 2 months. Hepatitis A is transmitted via the fecal-oral route
Outcomes indicating that peritonitis has resolved include an afebrile condition, absence of rebound tenderness, clear appearance of dialysate, absence of bacteria in dialysate, normal WBC count, and no redness or swelling at the catheter site.
Medical management of hyperparathyroidism includes increasing urinary calcium excretion with diuretics.
Clients with hypoparathyroidism experience symptoms related to hypocalcemia ranging from mild paresthesias due to the tetany and possible seizures. Treatment for the disorder involves correction of the hypocalcemia and vitamin D deficiency with pharmacological intervention such as calcium chloride, vitamin D, and calcitriol (Rocaltrol). Nurses should encourage compliance with the prescription regimen as well as teach the client that treatment for this disorder is lifelong. In addition to pharmacological compliance, the client should maintain certain dietary guidelines (high calcium, low phosphorus) if the disease is to be controlled.
PTU is administered to clients in thyroid storm to block thyroid hormone synthesis of T3 and T4. Thyroid antibodies indicate whether an autoimmune disease is causing the client's symptoms. A thyroid scan provides information about whether excessive or diminished activity is present in the gland but provides no information about the degree of hormone synthesis. The TSH stimulation test differentiates primary from secondary hypothyroidism.
The client learns to void after creation of a neobladder by relaxing the external sphincter while increasing the intra-abdominal pressure (Valsalva maneuver). If the client cannot perform this procedure, then the client must learn to do intermittent catheterization of the neobladder.
In the absence of documented heart disease, the desired goal is to have a total cholesterol less than 200 mg/dL, low LDL levels of less than 130 mg/dL, and high HDL levels greater than 50 mg/dL. In the absence of documented heart disease or significant risk factors, the values identified in the question place the client at a low risk for heart disease.
The oropharynx (mouth) should be suctioned last to prevent introducing oral bacteria into the lung field. Allowing at least 30-second intervals between suctioning times will allow the client to equilibrate. Pressure beyond 120 mm Hg will damage the mucous membranes. The suction catheter should not be left in the trachea for more than 15 seconds, or the client will experience hypoxia.
MRI is a test that involves an external magnetic field to visualize soft tissues. Because of the magnetic field, this test is contraindicated in clients with pacemakers because it can reprogram the pacemaker.
Although esophageal varices are caused by portal pressure, rupture of the varices may be caused by increased intrathoracic pressure such as coughing and straining. This pressure may occur during heavy weight-lifting.
The term nephrotic syndrome refers to a kidney disorder characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. The child experiences fatigue, anorexia, increased weight, abdominal pain, and a normal blood pressure.
Nicardipine hydrochloride (Cardene) is a calcium channel blocker that is used to treat chronic stable angina or primary hypertension. Before administering the medication, the nurse would check the client's blood pressure and pulse rate.
Epstein-Barr virus is transmitted by contact with infectious saliva, close intimate contact with an infectious individual, or contact with infected blood. The infectious period is unknown. Commonly, the virus is shed before clinical onset of the disease until 6 months or longer after recovery.
Early signs of lithium toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and muscle twitching. Moderate toxicity results in ataxia, giddiness, tinnitus, blurred vision, clonic movements, and severe hypotension. Acute toxicity is characterized by seizures, oliguria, circulatory failure, and death.
Poor nutrition during pregnancy can negatively influence fetal growth and development. Although pregnancy poses some nutritional risk for the mother, not all clients are at high risk. Calcium is critical during the third trimester, but must be increased from the onset of pregnancy. Intake of dietary iron is usually insufficient for the majority of pregnant women, and iron supplements are routinely encouraged.
One of the earliest indicators of successful adaptation of the newborn infant is the Apgar score. Scoring ranges from 0 to 10. A score of 8 to 10 indicates that the infant is adjusting well to extrauterine life. A score of 5 to 7 often indicates an infant who requires some resuscitative intervention. Scores of less than 5 indicate infants who are having difficulty adjusting to extrauterine life and require vigorous resuscitation.
Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor (pubococcygeal muscle). The increased tone of this muscle is beneficial during pregnancy and afterward.
Hemorrhoids are varicosities and are likely to be precipitated during pregnancy by the pressure of the growing fetus inside the abdominal cavity. Standing aggravates the problem. Dietary factors, such as fluids and bulk, and manual reduction are measures that should be included in the plan of care. Hormonal changes are not a factor in the development of hemorrhoids during pregnancy.
Oxygen is administered continuously during labor to the client with sickle cell anemia to provide adequate oxygenation and prevent sickling.
HELLP is a laboratory diagnosis for a variant of severe preeclampsia and is characterized by hemolysis (H), elevated liver enzymes (EL), and low platelets (LP). One of the signs of HELLP syndrome is a decrease in the platelet count.
When performing fundal massage, one hand is placed just above the symphysis pubis to support the lower uterine segment, while the fundus is gently but firmly massaged in a circular motion. Pushing on an uncontracted uterus could invert the uterus and cause massive hemorrhage.
Symptoms of infection are moistness, oozing, discharge, and a reddened base around the cord. If symptoms of infection occur, the mother should be instructed to notify a health care provider because antibiotics may be needed. If these symptoms occur, antibiotics are necessary.
In term infants, jaundice first appears after 24 hours and disappears by the end of day 7. Jaundice is first noticed in the head, especially the sclera and mucous membranes. The newborn infant has a high rate of bilirubin production. The reabsorption of bilirubin from the neonatal small intestine is considerable.
Criteria for early discharge in the newborn infant include no evidence of significant jaundice within the first 24 hours after birth. The infant should have urinated and passed at least one stool, completed at least two successful feedings, and have normal vital signs for at least 12 hours. These criteria may vary depending on agency policy.
If the newborn infant is apneic or has gasping respirations after stimulation, or if the heart rate is below 90 beats/minute, positive-pressure ventilation by bag and mask can be given. The ventilation bag used for neonatal resuscitation should have a pressure gauge. Ventilations should be given at a rate of 40 to 60 breaths/minute at pressures of 15 to 20 cm H2O. An initial pressure of 30 to 40 cm H2O may be necessary to inflate collapsed alveoli.
After the placenta separates, it can usually be delivered if the mother bears down. The cord may be gently pulled to assist in the delivery of the placenta. Excess traction on the cord may cause it to break, making the placenta harder to deliver.
Complete uterine rupture results in massive blood loss; however, external bleeding may not be noted because most of the blood is lost into the peritoneal cavity. Signs of shock, as evidenced by a decrease in blood pressure, tachycardia, tachypnea, pallor, cool and clammy skin, anxiety, and pain, develop quickly. Cessation of uterine contractions occurs.
The nurse should report the time of the last food intake to the physician. General anesthesia may be used for an emergency cesarean delivery. Gastric contents are very acidic and can produce chemical pneumonitis if aspirated.
Situational Low Self-Esteem represents temporary negative feelings about self in response to an event.
Ineffective Coping implies that the person is unable to manage stressors adequately.
Dysfunctional Grieving implies prolonged unresolved grief leading to detrimental activities.
Deficient Knowledge indicates a lack of information or psychomotor skill concerning a condition or treatment.
Dystocia (antonym eutocia) is an abnormal or difficult childbirth or labour.
Abnormal labor patterns are assessed according to the nature of the cervical dilation and fetal descent. Progressive changes in the cervix are a reassuring pattern in labor
After a precipitate delivery, the mother may need help to process what has happened and time to assimilate it all. The mother may be exhausted, in pain, stunned by the rapid nature of the delivery, or simply following cultural norms. Providing support to the mother is the most appropriate and therapeutic action by the nurse.
As the placenta separates, the uterus changes from a discoid to a globular shape. Other signs of placental separation include lengthening of the umbilical cord, a sudden gush of dark blood from the introitus, and a firmly contracted uterus. The client may experience vaginal fullness, but not sudden abdominal pain.
The lower uterine segment does not contain the same intertwining musculature as the fundus of the uterus, making this site more prone to postpartum bleeding.
The client most at risk for abruptio placenta is the woman who smokes or uses alcohol, illegal drugs such as cocaine, or caffeine during pregnancy.
The normal fetal heart rate is 120 to 160 beats/minute. Signs of potential complications of labor include contractions consistently lasting 90 seconds or longer, contractions consistently occurring 2 minutes or less apart, fetal bradycardia, tachycardia, persistently decreased variability, or an irregular FHR.

The Land of Snow (雪の国, Yuki no Kuni) is a nation introduced in Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, that is also briefly mentioned in the anime and in the Hiden novels.
Originally, the country was a small, but peaceful place. However, it was taken over by a tyrant, Dotō Kazahana, after he and his mercenaries killed his older brother and predecessor, Sōsetsu Kazahana. As the name of the country suggests, the climate is rather cold with winter covering the land in snow and ice year round. The landscape is dominated by snowy mountains with tall glaciers making parts of the coastline inaccessible from the sea.
At the end of the movie, Koyuki explains that with further research and improvements to the heat generator, the Land of Snow can become the Land of Spring (春の国, Haru no Kuni). When the tyrant Dotō was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, Dotō's niece and Sōsetsu's daughter, Koyuki Kazahana, the princess who escaped ten years ago from her uncle's grasp, assumed her birthright as the country's new daimyō.
Main article: Yukigakure Yukigakure (雪隠れの里, Yukigakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden Among Snow) is located in the Land of Snow. Its ninja apparently specialise in manipulating pre-existing ice, typically in the forms of various animals.
Kazahana Castle
Main article: Kazahana Castle
The Kazahana Castle (風花城, Kazahana-jō, Literally meaning: Snowflake Castle) was a beautiful Japanese-style castle, located in the mountains of the Land of Snow, and belonged to the late daimyō, Sōsetsu Kazahana, who lived in it with his daughter, Koyuki.
The Land of Snow possesses an unusually advanced level of technology when compared to other countries in the Naruto world. Things such as railroads, airships, snow mobiles, power generators and volley guns are commonplace here, though the latter fired salvos of kunai instead of bullets. Additionally, their ninja wear special Chakra Armour that makes them virtually immune to ninjutsu and genjutsu. However, this technological superiority is assumingly rather new, as a group of army soldiers were shown to be conventionally armed, similar to Samurai and Ashigaru of feudal Japan.

Two Gizmodo colleagues, one former and one current, are discussing their first Internet memories as I type out this sentence. Sam Biddle abused his father's AOL screenname in the name of Valentine's Day advice, while Jon Herrman rocked Hootie.
The whole conversation, which I just creeped on Twitter and did not partake in, got me thinking of a great question for a lazy Sunday afternoon:
What is your first Internet (or online) memory?
I'll kick it off with what I believe is mine: Connecting to a local game store's BBS to play a little MUDD. Geektastic! It worked, like, 25% of the time and the modem's chimes quickly became a little tune that I definitely had made lyrics to, but can't remember today. I'm so incredibly ancient at 29 years old!
On the AOL side of things, I definitely remember cruising the "warez" chatrooms and contaminating my parents' PowerMac with all manner of sketchy software, Anarchist's Cookbook excerpts and CC# number generators. All for research purposes, naturally.
Again, what's yours? Comment, comment.

Euro NCAP seat test results
* Manufacturers should do more * Small cars particularly poor * Price or complexity not the issue...
Simple design measures to prevent whiplash injuries arent being implemented by enough car manufacturers, according to road safety organisation Euro NCAP.
Only five of 25 seats tested for their ability to minimise whiplash injuries were rated as good, after new trials by Euro NCAP. Twelve were given a marginal rating and eight were scored as poor.
The Daihatsu Terios, Peugeot 308 CC and Suzuki Splash did worst of all with zero marks in the assessment, which will be included in every Euro NCAP crash test from early next year.
Disappointed with small cars
Euro NCAP said it was disappointing to see so few seats do well, and it was particularly concerned that small cars such as the Terios and Splash performed as poorly as they did.
As small, light city cars, theyre more reliant on good seat design, and more likely to be involved in the kind of rear-end impacts that result in whiplash injuries. They are also more likely to be driven by women, who, research shows, are 2.5 times as likely as men to suffer injuries.
Cost or complexity not the issue
The efforts made by manufacturers with five-star seats show that it isnt necessarily difficult, or expensive, to provide motorists with safer designs. In fact, Volkswagen says the seat in its Mk VI Golf, which scored highly at 3.31 out of a possible 4, costs no more to produce than the seat in the Mk V.
The Golf's seat is a simple passive design that doesnt automatically move forward in a collision, unlike the re-active headrests in the Alfa Romeo MiTo and Vauxhall Insignia, which also won good ratings.
The Audi A4 won a five-star rating with a passive design, while Volvos XC60 was awarded 3.54, the highest score of all.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class gained only a marginal result, despite the fact that it has pro-active head restraints that move up and forward in anticipation of a collision. Testers found the rest of the seat structure wasnt good enough to justify a better score.
Front seats tested
Only front-seat design has been assessed at this stage because 91% of injuries are suffered by front-seat passengers.

Who is he?
A passionate man who emanates strength and authority, Chandler is well-suited to power, and was born to lead, command and orchestrate. More down to earth and practical than truly intellectual, he is an active, dynamic and resourceful individual who enjoys fighting for the principles and causes he believes in. He is courageous with plenty of energy and tends to be quite satisfied with himself, which can be translated as brusqueness, impatience and irritability at times. He has a penchant for physical exercise, which provides an excellent outlet for all his excess energy. Chandler has a great need for autonomy and has difficulty bending to somebody else´s authority. He is allergic to all forms of hierarchy, especially since he is quite contrary and argumentative by nature. As far as he is concerned, one´s personal value is not based on age, nor is merit measurable in seniority, but is instead demonstrated by one´s achievements and competence. His frank and direct attitude is likely to attract a few enemies and a fair bit of conflict, which is what he consciously or unconsciously seeks, to a certain degree. The material realm is important in his eyes, and he never loses sight of the notions of yield and return. He could make an excellent business man or a very good manager, since he has an instinct for a profitable venture. As a child, Chandler is neither docile, complaisant nor patient. He is rebellious and can be touchy and quite temperamental - even extremely bad-tempered at times, especially when he feels out of his depth. But deep down, Chandler is actually a tender-hearted, sensitive and very emotional soul with a rather passionate nature; an excitable little boy who needs plenty of physical exercise in order to let off some of that steam.
What does he like?
Whilst Chandler is attracted by action and conquest, he equally feels the need to retreat and relax from time to time. This could be expressed as a love of travel, in the classic sense of the word, as well also journeys of the mind: poetry, painting, music, metaphysics, spirituality and the irrational. His soul is enamoured with magic and marvel, and Chandler is fascinated by science fiction and anything weird or wonderful. If life is too rough with this sensitive man he is likely to attempt to run away, literally or figuratively... When it comes to love, Chandler is a true romantic - idealistic with great expectations, intolerant and brusque. His passionate nature can twist itself around to become jealousy and possessiveness.
Get your free Personality test card now !!
What does he do?
He has many possible choices: occupations concerned with business (banking, management, accounting...), in connection with metallurgy, mechanics... or requiring manual dexterity (cobbler, tapestry maker, butcher, stone-cutter, surgeon, sculptor...), in connection with a certain power (police, army, fire-brigade, politics, justice or law), or anything to do with medicine, even complementary medicine and alternative therapies (energy healer, dowser), or the irrational.

Taking Pains With 'Eddication': Charles Dickens Turns 200
As a former English major, I feel a special duty and obligation today to honor the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens. (Bias Alert: Dickens is one of my all-time favorite authors. My favorite book? Bleak House, of course.)
Needless to say, the bicentennial offers a perfect teachable moment. So, to justify this as a Curriculum Matters blog post, I'll start with some educational resources.
• The Guardian newspaper of England has assembled a nice collection of resources on 'How to Teach ... Charles Dickens.'
• The New York Times also has a page of teaching resources and materials of interest. In fact, they've even got the original NYT obituary from June 11, 1870: Death of the Great Novelist.
• Here's some materials from the British Council, including lesson plans and recent blog posts on the 200th anniversary.
• The Washington Post has reviewed three new illustrated books for children about Dickens.
I'm sure there's plenty more out there. Know of something good? Please post a comment below.
The Associated Press quotes Dickens biographer Claire Tomalin on one dimension of Dickens' staying power.
"You only have to look around our society and everything he wrote about in the 1840s is still relevant," said Tomalin. "The great gulf between the rich and poor, corrupt financiers, corrupt Members of Parliament. ... You name it, he said it."
And now for the fun part: Some quotes from the Dickens canon, starting with a few words of wisdomof courseon education. (Thanks to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations for assistance!)
--"I took a good deal o' pains with his eddication, sir; let him run in the streets when he was very young, and shift for hisself. It's the only way to make a boy sharp, sir." (Pickwick Papers)
--"Experientia does itas Papa used to say." (David Copperfield)
--"He is an honorable, obstinate, truthful, high-spirited, intensely prejudiced, perfectly reasonable man." (Bleak House)
--"Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else." (Hard Times)
--"There is a wisdom of the head, and ... a wisdom of the heart." (Hard Times)
--"In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice." (Great Expectations)
--"Take nothing on its looks; take everything on evidence. There's no better rule." (Great Expectations)
--"It's a mad world. Mad as Bedlam." (David Copperfield)
--"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." (David Copperfield)
Happy Birthday, Mr. Dickens.

Whoever Says Maternity Jeans Aren't Trendy Is WRONG!
So, the time came for HollyBaby blogger Sarah to cave in and buy herself some maternity jeans. Turns out she's not the one who hates them — her husband Neil is!
No, it's not the stretchy band that bothers Neil, it's the price! His wife's bump may be showing, but that doesn't mean he's excited — get ready for the credit card bills to come rollin' in!
Don't tell Sarah, but she is beginning to look pregnant! I say this carefully, because although she has been saying that she has been getting fat for the past four months (and she is in her 18th week now), we've been married long enough for me to know that this is a trick. The moment I openly agree with her, I'll never hear the end of it.
So even though she looks as beautiful as ever and I've always thought she has the best legs, I've started to notice the first tell-tale signs.
Sarah was going to be all about the cute summer dresses and the floaty tops, but this weekend saw the first coming of something she never envisioned — maternity jeans. I found them lurking over the back of a chair, looking like a regular pair of skinny jeans, but when I picked them up, there was the additional stretchy fabric tucked on top.
I was afraid that the pregnancy, and more particularly her changing body-shape, was going to entail a whole new wardrobe, which in turn was going to breathe new life into her (excuse me, MY) credit cards. Fashion stores throughout the state were rubbing their hands together in expectation of the uptick in revenues, and Standard & Poor's were considering maintaining the country's AAA credit rating, until they heard of her latest investment — a secondhand sewing machine.
And then there's the bump! It's there, and it demands attention. She's not at the point where strangers are walking up to her and touching her belly yet — she's in that stage where people are not sure whether she is pregnant or just been dodging the salad bar lately — but she likes to have her belly rubbed and touched by me.
The reward is that I have felt the presence of the baby — our little one has just started to kick…
I refuse to throw massive amounts of money at clothes I will only wear for three to six months. I would rather spend that money on shoes I wear once a year. That being said the idea of maternity clothes never really appealed to me. I figured I could make it through the summer in sundresses and American Apparel Leggings, and for the record I was doing just fine. But then one day the skinny jeans wouldn't button and I knew I was in trouble.
My first solution: Wear pajamas all day. This proved to work for the first day (a Saturday) but I realized business meetings would not work well in this attire.
Solution 2: The Belly Band for those of you who know about this product, it's supposed to go over your jeans so you can wear them unbuttoned and no one will know. PEOPLE KNOW. This was not the solution I was looking for.
So I went with Solution 3: Caving in and buying maternity pants. I walked into Motherhood Maternity expecting to hate everything in there…. The sad truth was they had some pretty cute stuff! I ended up trying on everything from designer to bargain brands and the jeans were really cute. Anyone who has ever made the transition will agree with me. When you put the first pair of maternity pants on it's a big sigh of "ahhhhh where have THESE been all my life!?"

In response to the UN Secretary-General's appointment of a new High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, the UK Department for International Development's Secretary of State, Andrew Mitchell, has said:
"Britain is delighted that the UN's High Level Panel has been launched. Given its rich expertise and diversity, it is in a unique position to set out a bold new agenda to eradicate global poverty."
The Prime Minister will work with his two co-chairs and the panellists to lead an inclusive and transparent process which draws on the views and experiences of citizens, businesses, aid agencies and countries across the world.
"This will need to build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) but also respond to the new global challenges of the 21st century by helping economies and societies to flourish and to free the poorest countries from poverty for good."
In May this year the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, appointed President Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, President Yudhoyono of Indonesia and Prime Minister David Cameron to chair a High Level Panel on post-Millennium Development Goals. They will lead a process to start identifying a new international framework for development when the current MDGs expire in 2015.

What: Brazil vs. North Korea, Group G, Match 2
When: Tuesday, June 15, 2:30 pm ET
Where: Ellis Park, Johannesburg
TV: ESPN, Univision
Brazil, everyone's second team, finally hit the field nearly a week into the tournament, which means that everyone from Rio to Riyadh is going to be abuzz with the samba beat. But there are questions about Dunga's team -- not about their effectiveness, but about their lack of flair. This Brazilian side are, somehow, not the Brazil of our imaginations. Of course, no one knows what they will face in their opening opponent, North Korea. So little is known about the Chollima that even preparing for them has been a challenge.
Dunga, a hard-nosed disciplined midfielder as a player, has chosen his Seleçao to reflect his younger self. At least that's the conventional wisdom. But there is still plenty of creativity and talent, beginning with the number 10, Kaká. Real Madrid's maestro has never really replicated his club form at the international level, but now, in the absence of Ronaldinho, this is his Brazilian team. He is joined by the equally mercurial Robinho and powerful strikers Luis Fabiano and Julio Baptista.
While the fans back home clamor for teenage phenom Neymar or AC Milan flier Alexandre Pato, Dunga has stuck with the organized side that qualified first in South America and won last year's Confederations Cup. For all their attacking prowess, the real strength might be the defense, boasting Inter Milan defenders Maicon and Lucio, and Panathinaikos holding midfielder Gilberto Silva. They are disciplined, dangerous on set pieces, and experienced enough to handle any mysteries sure to come against the North Koreans.
The North Koreans have quietly prepared for their opener, under the radar and out of the press. They have had limited media access to training and coach Kim Jong-Hun refused to answer any politically tinged questions in the last pregame press conference.
Kim said the side are fully prepared to deal with Brazil. "Nobody is injured or has doubts. They are all in top shape," he said.
Still, there seems to be a little bit of optimistic delusion from the North Koreans. They will employ highly defensive tactics, just as they did in qualifying, trying to stifle the Brazilian attack with their fitness and organization. But will they manage any offense?
Players to Watch
Brazil: Maicon. Defenders never get the respect they deserve, but there are some that believe the indefatigable attacking-obsessed Inter Milan right back is the best player in the world. He is Roberto Carlos 2.0.
North Korea: Jong Tae-Se. One of just two players who play outside of North Korea, Jong has been a regular scorer for J-League side Kawasaki Frontale for five seasons now. He is also a fascinating story: Born in Japan to parents with South Korean citizenship, he chose to become a North Korean citizen.
Final Analysis
On paper, this should be a blowout. But the problem is, there is so little on paper about North Korea. Still, regardless of a lack of fan-pleasing flair, Brazil are Brazil and they should have no problem untying the Koreans' defensive knot.

With so many cameras announced last year, I sort of overlooked reviewing the Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS. And that's kind of a shame.
When it was released in the first half of 2011, it was Canon's least expensive camera with a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, which gives better low-light photos and shooting performance than the CCD sensors Canon used previously for its Elphs. It was priced at $199.99, which was a great deal at the time for a BSI CMOS camera. Now, almost a year later, it's nearly $100 less, making it an outstanding bargain for its features and performance.
If you're unhappy with your smartphone camera or just want a simple point-and-shoot to jam in your pocket for a day trip, the Elph 100 HS is a very good choice--even with its issues. Canon tells me it won't be around much longer, though, so if you're interested, you might want to pick one up soon. (And in case you're curious how it stacks up against the iPhone 4S, check out our head-to-head shootout.)
|Key specs
|Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS
|Price (MSRP)
|Dimensions (WHD)
|3.7 inches by 2.2 inches by 0.8 inch
|Weight (with battery and media)
|4.9 ounces
|Megapixels, image sensor size, type

|LCD size, resolution/viewfinder
|3-inch LCD, 230K dots/None
|Lens (zoom, aperture, focal length)
|4x, f2.8-5.9, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent)
|File format (still/video)
|Highest resolution size (still/video)
|4,000x3,000 pixels/ 1,920x1,080 pixels at 24fps
|Image stabilization type
|Optical and digital
|Battery type, CIPA rated life
|Li-ion rechargeable, 230 shots
|Battery charged in camera
|No; external charger supplied
|Storage media
|Bundled software
|ZoomBrowser EX 6.7/PhotoStitch 3.1 (Windows); ImageBrowser 6.7/PhotoStitch 3.2 (Mac); Map Utility 1.0 (Windows/Mac)
I thought the photo quality from the Canon Elph 300 HS and 100 HS might be about the same, considering both have a 12-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and Canon's Digic 4 processor. But while they have the same pluses and minuses, the 100 HS for some reason just isn't as good as the 300 HS.
Photos from the 100 HS look soft even at its lowest ISOs, but get noticeably softer at ISO 400 and higher. However, if you're using them at small sizes, you can safely use up to ISO 800. Colors desaturate some at ISO 1600 and 3200, subjects look very soft, and detail is greatly diminished. While you might not want to view them at larger sizes or enlarge and heavily crop them, the high-ISO results should be satisfactory for Web use. They are about as good as you're going to get for this price and a little post-shoot sharpening with basic editing software will improve things.
The 100 HS' color performance is excellent: bright, vivid, and accurate. Exposure is also very good, though highlights will blow out on occasion. There is a slight amount of barrel distortion at the wide end of the lens (top), but no pincushioning when the lens is extended. Fringing around high-contrast subjects was minimal and only really visible when photos were viewed onscreen and at 100 percent. The lens is fairly sharp at the center and consistent edge to edge--something I usually can't say about cameras at this price.
Video quality is on par with a good HD pocket video camera, good enough for Web use and nondiscriminating TV viewing. The full HD video records at 24 frames per second, and though panning the camera will create judder and there is visible trailing on moving subjects, the video is watchable. Those things are typical of the video from most compact cameras, too. The zoom lens does not work while recording; digital zoom is available, but I don't recommend using it as the results are terrible.
|General shooting options
|Canon PowerShot Elph 100 HS
|ISO sensitivity (full resolution)
|Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
|White balance
|Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Custom
|Recording modes
|Auto, Program, Portrait, Kids & Pets, Smart Shutter, High-speed Burst, Best Image Selection, Handheld Night Scene, Low Light, Fish-eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Color Accent, Color Swap, Beach, Underwater, Foliage, Snow, Fireworks, Long Shutter, Stitch Assist, Movie Digest, Movie (Standard, Super Slow Motion, Miniature Effect)
|Focus modes
|Face Detection AF, Center AF, Tracking AF
|1.2 inches to 1.6 feet (Wide)
|Metering modes
|Evaluative, Center-weighted average, Spot
|Color effects
|Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, Positive Film, Lighter Skin, Darker Skin, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, Custom Color (sharpness, contrast, saturation, red, green, blue, skin tone)
|Burst mode shot limit (full resolution)
|Unlimited continuous
The 100 HS has a fairly large assortment of shooting options, but almost all of them are automatic modes, meaning there's no full control over shutter speed and aperture. The shooting-mode switch on the camera's top has two options: one for Auto and one for a mode designated by a picture of a camera, which I'll call camera mode. -The camera mode gives you access to a Program Auto mode as well as all the scene modes, creative effects modes, and miniature effect and slow-motion video recording. However, they're laid out in one long list, so if you're the type to change modes frequently, this can be a pain. Canon's Smart Shutter option is there, too, which includes a smile-activated shutter release and Wink and Face Detection self-timers. Wink allows you to set off the shutter simply by winking at the camera, and the Face Detection option will wait till the camera detects a new face in front of the camera before it fires off a shot. Both work well.

Hi lovely lady! Thank you again so very much for linking up for Pink & Green Thursday! Once again you have taken my breath away with your amazing images, that first image of the soft pink tulle ballgown is STUNNING, oh what I wouldn't give to be lounging like that in that amazing gown right now. The little lady on the swing with the silky pink dress trailing behind her, swoon, one of these days when Bumpkin commits to loving pink perhaps we can convince her to change her header to that HAHA!! :) The green tulle mini with the green Chuckies is too cute, I so know a couple of girls from high school that would have rocked that look. Wishing you a beautiful day Shawna! xoxo

So I know I'm kind of late, but on Friday while I was sitting at my desk staring into the computer I decided to hit to nytimes.com to check out what was going on in the world, or at least in New York. Of course I clicked on Style& Fashion and started to read an interesting article. The article, Conspicuous by Their Presence was about the prejudice towards Blacks in the fashion world and howItailan Vogue is dedicated its July issue to Black models. I was quite intrigued at the thought of a whole issue of Vogue featuring only black faces. This is historic I thought to myself. The mag will feature Tyra Banks and Miss Campbell, who were shot by famous and brilliant photographer Steven Meisel, who shot Madonna for that kinky book called SEX. I am definitely going to buy the July issue ofItailan Vogue! I mean it is a piece of history for pete's sake.

text: Hi all, its been a while I am about to start a restoration of a copper and brass La Pavoni machine. I have never used a Lever machine, so thought it would be fun plus I liked the look of the machine even though she's in a sorry state. I believe it is a pre-millenium model and is the bare metal type rather than plated, which I believe puts it in the early 90's. Bought the machine as a non worker though, so hopefully there is not too much wrong that can't be put right! Unfortunately she is missing a a portafilter which is a shame as it looks like I will have to buy new. I believe they are 49mm, anyone know where I would be able to get a brass one - there seems to be loads of Millennium versions which are larger, but struggling to find a brass pre-millennium. If anyone has one in their parts box I would be happy to purchase! Also plan to replace all the handles with wooden ones, any suggestions on a supplier that makes these?
