Alpha-Galactosidase, Blood Spot
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from deficient activity of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (a-Gal A) and the subsequent deposition of glycosylsphingolipids in tissues throughout the body, in particular, the kidney, heart, and brain. More than 150 mutations in the GLA gene have been identified in individuals diagnosed with Fabry disease. Severity and onset of symptoms are dependent on the amount of residual enzyme activity. The classic form of Fabry disease occurs in males with <1% a-Gal A activity. Symptoms usually appear in childhood or adolescence and can include acroparesthesias (pain crises in the extremities), multiple angiokeratomas, reduced or absent sweating, and corneal opacity. In addition, progressive renal involvement leading to end-stage renal disease typically occurs in adulthood followed by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. The estimated incidence is 1 in 40,000 males.
Males with residual a-Gal A activity may present with either of 2 variant forms of Fabry disease (renal or cardiac) with onset of symptoms later in life. Individuals with the renal variant typically present in the third decade with the development of renal insufficiency and, ultimately, end-stage renal disease. These individuals may or may not share other symptoms with the classic form of Fabry disease. Individuals with the cardiac variant are often asymptomatic until they present with cardiac findings such as cardiomyopathy, mitral insufficiency, or conduction abnormalities in the fourth decade. The cardiac variant is not associated with renal failure. Variant forms of Fabry disease may be underdiagnosed.
Females who are carriers of Fabry disease can have clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic to severely affected and may have a-Gal A activity in the normal range; therefore, additional studies including molecular genetic analysis of the GLA gene (FABMS / Fabry Disease, Full Gene Analysis) are recommended to detect carriers.
Reduced or absent a-Gal A in blood spots, leukocytes (AGA / Alpha-Galactosidase, Leukocytes), or serum (AGAS / Alpha-Galactosidase, Serum) can indicate a diagnosis of classic or variant Fabry disease. Molecular sequence analysis of the GLA gene (FABMS / Fabry Disease, Full Gene Analysis) allows for detection of the disease-causing mutation in affected patients and carrier detection in females.
See Fabry Disease Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of patients with a clinical presentation suggestive of Fabry disease
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In male patients, results <1.2 nmol/mL/hour in properly submitted specimens are consistent with Fabry disease. Normal results (> or =1.2 nmol/mL/hour) are not consistent with Fabry disease.
In female patients, normal results (> or =2.8 nmol/mL/hour) in properly submitted specimens are typically not consistent with carrier status for Fabry disease; however, enzyme analysis, in general, is not sufficiently sensitive to detect all carriers. Because a carrier range has not been established in females, molecular genetic analysis of the GLA gene (FABMS / Fabry Disease, Full Gene Analysis) should be considered when alpha-galactosidase A activity is <2.9 nmol/mL/hour, or if clinically indicated.
See Fabry Disease Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Males: > or =1.2 nmol/mL/h
Females: > or =2.8 nmol/mL/h

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 140 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by chris Great Board for the Money! Please keep in mind two things as you read, one this is a great board for the price, and two, I am very experience with kayaks, windsurfers, and boards of any type. This board is not for serious paddlers who want a board for advanced technical skills. It is heavy, tracks poorly, and is fairly soft. If you are a serious paddler you should not even be considering a plastic board anyway. I you are a weekend paddler who just wants the feeling of standing on the water and plucking a wave or two, this board will be fine. The paddle was more than effective for a novice. The board is very stable and feels good under your feet. The plugs have eyelets for string and I recommend tying them to the rigging. I also recommend putting an anchor on the front most plug. The fins can be secured to the board also and elastic chord is provided. My son is a novice paddler and he loves this board. He had it in nasty Lake Erie chop and said it was fine. I took it out on a windy day with my Border Collie as a passenger and intentionally left the fins off to see how it would handle. Even with the high winds, no fins, and a moving dog it was a great boat! If you just want a sturdy fun board and take care of your equipment, this board will serve you and your kids well. June 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by IslandFamily GREAT deal for the price! If you are on a budget and have a big family like we have, this board is THE board to buy! It's heavy as heck, yes you have to paddle extra to keep up with the $1,000 boards, and yes it is heavy duty plastic...BUT... who has $1,000 for ONE board when you have 5 kids??? We bought 3 of these when they were on sale for $299, and used our 10% off coupon. We couldn't beat the price. Our children figured them out in less than an hour and are total beach bums on these. They paddle, they sit on them with friends and chat, they fish from them. What more can you ask for from this board? July 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Maria54 Comment to Lost Fins We lost a fin during vacation. I called the company and they mailed me a package of 2 fins. Just thought I would share the information. I still love the fact that I didn't need to spend alot of money on paddle boards to have fun. These are durable and sturdy. We have enjoyed taking them to the river and beach. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lbehen When you HAVE to have a paddle board for flat water, this one will do just fine. I bought this paddle board slightly worried that it was more "toy" than paddle board, but have discovered that it fits my needs just fine. For $400, it's a great board, very stable, and is light enough that I can manage it by myself (on and off a roof rack.) I'd recommend it! September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bubsy good for young and old.I am 70 yrs old and my grand kids are using it too.What fun 5 stars good construction,good quality,sturdy,and fun fun fun January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lake mom Great overall value I've only tried two paddleboards, but this one seems more stable than the other more expensive and lighter board. The only negatives are an inability to stand sideways and a relatively cheap paddle. Ive found out good paddles cost over $150, so you get what you pay for. I look forward to many happy hours on this durable board! January 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Noni11 Great fun! These boards are perfect for every age group. My children, grandchildren, family and friends have had a blast using them. My sister had 2 given to her as a gift. Tried paddle boarding and I decided to buy 2 more. What fun! I have had to call the company to replace the rudders which fell off one board and to replace some plugs, The company sent parts immediately. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by scubagirl Great Paddle Board for the Money I read the reviews on this board and took a chance anyway because I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I love this board. I use it on a lake that does get boat traffic. I don't use it on busy days, but can navigate with a boat or jet ski around. It's a very stable board and I have not had any trouble with fins falling out as reported by some reviewers. It is heavy so my husband has to help me lift it out of the water. He is able to lift it by himself if needed. I'm 5'2" and weigh 130 pounds. My husband is 6 feet and 200 pounds and he says the board "gives too much", but he has horrible balance as well. I've seen other men on it and they seem fine. Bear in mind - some of these boards can cost well over $1,000 so you're getting what you pay for. I would recommend this board for beginners and if you just want to play around on a lake or calm river. I did get it on sale, which made it even more attractive. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shonoshame Nice product, nice price! My wife has been dreaming of getting a paddleboard for two years, and I finally found a good one that I can afford. It's great! I especially like the fact that it's "ding" resistant. January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Petesstuff Easy rider Easy to use for the beginner or the not so nimble. Lots of fun and exercise. March 8, 2015

I'm sure most of you have heard that this year's USDGC will be divided into two divisions.
The Open Flight will be the most exclusive field ever in disc golf. World Champs, US Champs, Sponsors and State Reps no longer have a standing invitation. No one from GA is qualified, but hopefully that will change!
The Performance Flight will be handled like last years Event and will be based on handicapped scoring. Each state does get a state Rep spot for the Performance Flight (possibly taking 50 of the 72 spots.)
Anyway, I was wondering how Keith was planning on handling the GA Rep spot. Anyone else have any input?

the little lights at the bottom are red/ amber lights. they are red as clearance and 2 per side turn amber with the flashers. same with the main rear lights. it has led marker lights up and down the sides. the marker lights on the sides only required a 1/4 inch hole for mounting and are very small.
i did not sell him the trailer cheaper than a manufacturer... fella wanted a trailer that he could trust (you know what im talkin about) buy a trailer from lowes and then build one for yourself...... which one gonna be better???
i didnt make a killin off the trailer, however, i did make a little. (besides, he delivers my iron work across the nation for REAL CHEAP)
if the lights are a problem, then how does a truck and trailer that's running "chicken lights" all over it fair? i was told by a DOT officer that if they on there, they gotta be lit... the trailer passed insp and got tagged.... now that weight sittin on the inspecting officer *shrugs*
Results 11 to 20 of 22
I'm also glad to hear you charged him more than a factory trailer, because even though I don't know you personally I KNOW your quality would be better (yeah I know EXACTLY what your talking about ).
I've done a lot of warranty repair, repair and custom fab on factory built trailers, their quality is the reason their prices are where they are... well that and the quantity that they build per year.
Good on him for being willing to pay for the quality that he wants, that trailer will last him for a LONG time.

No inspections here in Cal, build it, haul it to a DMV, lady comes out, puts a serial number sticker on it, goes back in, finishes the paperwork, you pay your money, get a plate, and done.
Commercial CHP, however, have the right to pull any vehicle over, at any time, with a reason or not. Can do a quick inspection, or a full inspection, whatever they want.
Over the years, I have NEVER seen anybody getting a ticket for too many lights, even in place of the "three-bar" on the back of the trailer.
You WILL, however, get a ticket for any light that doesn't work. Some years ago, I built a headboard behind a Freightliner cab, required in Nevada for hauling hay. Driver wanted it dressed up some, install cute little lights up and down each side. Owner said fine, but not wired in, didn't want all the electrical problems. Just decorative. Sure enough, a few months later, got a ticket for inoperable lights, had to wire them in (cheaper than filling all the square holes I'd already cut into the frame).
I notice also there was some mention of reflectors, if you buy the right lights they are reflectorized, meet the DOT requirements for both lights and reflectors. Costs a couple bucks more per light.
Another point to make, Fed DOT specifically says, tail-lights can NOT be used to satisfy the rear clearance light requirements. A way around this, simply wire the outside "tail-light" on a two or three tail-light per side setup, into the marker light or clearance light switch on the tractor, it then becomes a clearance light. You still have other lights, to wire into the headlight or tail-light switch, that will satisfy the tail-light requirements.
Remember, a typical seven wire commercial hookup, has both brown wire (for clearance/markers) and black wire (for tail-lights).Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....

How did you go about fabbing up the gooseneck tongue? Im guessing you had a few helping hands? Also, did you start building the trailer upside down and flip it to finish it? Or did you build the whole thing right side up? I use to build all my own bumper pulls and I always started building them upside down. Made it much easier to weld the x members and rails on...but that goose neck looks like it would be a MONSTER to flip over!
yes, i have a few helping hands, a john deere tractor with forks, a 4 yard wheel loader, a t-300 tracked skid steer with forks...lol... I fabbed the gooseneck seperate and welded it on the completed trailer body. I built it right side up from the start... I dont like to flip em and run the chance of knocking stuff out of square...
I get everything tacked and clamped in place, then weld it all out... No final welds until its all in place. Might be a better way of doing things, but i seen too much stuff go wrong only to find that i have to cut welds loose to change it...

A lot of the 3 axle trailers around here went for scrap. The problem with them was they were always breaking axles. ALWAYS.
Load them up to capacity with hay and pulling in and out of the fields through the ditches and they would lift the front two axles off the ground. Putting 20K on one 7.5K axle isn't the best idea.
I converted a couple of them to 8K tandem torsion axles with 17.5" wheels and tires that were adequate for part time uses for general transport stuff but not nearly as good as a dual tandem setup
makes sense.... this trailer sees highway use...lol.... kinda hard to get any tires off the ground (if he does, he should slow down.... then again, ive never seen a slopar get fast enough)

Just tell him to go easy pulling in and out of the truck stop parking lots and keep an eye on the leading and trailing axle at every stop. should be ok

Details of Propst's case continue to baffle doctors. What they do know is that a devastating "electrical storm" in her brain caused her declarative memory to be wiped clean. Facts, events, dates, acquaintances and even her identity were wiped away. As Propst describes it, "If I was a computer, it would be like my hard drive was erased."
David Ewing of Centennial Neurology in Greeley, Colo., Propst's doctor, said that it is remarkable that Propst has adjusted so well to her new life, which, in a way, began slightly more than 10 years ago. The seizure, he says, effectively disconnected the area of her brain in which her memories were stored.
"The area is still there, still intact," he said. "But it was like someone threw a breaker switch. ... She had a single general event, after which she woke up and all of her memories were wiped out."
Since the event, however, Propst has rebuilt her life. Her persistence in rejoining the work force has led to stable employment as a custodian at a state facility. She enjoys strong relationships with her family. And she has written a book, "Absent Memories: Moving Forward When You Can't Look Back," which documents her experiences.
"Every single person I met said, 'You need to write a book about this,'" Propst said. "I thought, 'What the heck, what do I have to lose?'"
While Propst's experience is rare, there have been numerous documented cases in which an injury has led to long-term amnesia.
Traumatic events in the brain can have other unusual effects as well. For 52-year-old Canadian Rosemarie Dore, a stroke on the left side of her brain in 2006 led to a very unusual side effect -- she began to speak with a different accent.
Specifically, Dore, who lives on the Western side of Lake Ontario, adopted a distinctively eastern Canadian accent. She has never been to that region, and she does not know anyone from that part of the country.
"[There was a] nurse that was from Newfoundland," Dore told ABC News. "She comes down the hall, and she come into the room and she says, 'Who's the Newfie here?'" referring to Newfoundland.
"I said, 'There's nobody here like that.'"
"And she said, 'I think I'm talking to her.'"
Though rare, foreign accent syndrome is not entirely undocumented in medical literature. Researchers who have studied the syndrome estimate there are only as many as 60 legitimate recorded cases.
One of the first known patients was reported after World War II by Norwegian neurologist Georg Herman Monrad-Krohn. He described a Norwegian woman who was hit on the head by a bomb fragment during the war and began to speak with a German-like accent. Because of her speech, she became the target of anti-German sentiment.
More recent cases include a Florida woman speaking with a British accent, a Japanese woman sounding to other Japanese as if she were Korean and a South Carolina man developing a French-like accent.
"I have only seen a couple of people with [foreign accent syndrome] ... and I've seen a lot of stroke patients in my time," said Dr. Julius Fridriksson, an associate professor of neuroscience at the University of South Carolina who worked with the South Carolina patient. "These folks have brain damage that alters the way the neurological system works."
While it may be true that musical taste resides in the ear of the beholder, it is somewhat less common that a song can send a listener into an epileptic seizure.

Affinity purification of protein is a common technique in most protein labs which is often the bottle neck in achieving faster experimental results. The technique usually involves the use of HIS or GST tags which need to be enzymatically cleaved from of the recombinant protein in a laborious and time-consuming process so as not to interfere with the protein's functional activity or crystallization process. Furthermore, many functional assays and crystallography experiments require large amounts of protein which can be frustrated by the drawn-out purification/tag cleavage process.
In this technical note, Justin L. Burns et. al. from the Georga Insitute of Technology report how the combination of the Profinity eXact fusion-tag and Profinia automated purification system allowed them to recover milligram quantities of protein from a gram-negative bacteria in under 2 hours.

Gallery: Petroleum Tank Turned into Futuristic Loft Sleeping Pod and Lo...
To make the most of the material, LOT-EK cut the tank into two sections. The first section was placed horizontally over the living room and contains two sleeping pods that look a lot like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. And as if getting some shuteye in one of the bed capsules wasn't already cool enough, get this – they're accessible via four hydraulic piston operated hatchback doors. That means that you just have to push a button to have complete darkness when you want to sleep or daylight when you just feel like lounging.
The second half of the tanker was placed vertically within the space from floor to ceiling. Its function is to hold two bathroom pods, stacked right on top of one another. The interior of the powder rooms is coated with automotive enamel, and all of the plumbing is located on the exterior in keeping with the industrial theme.
In order to make the sleeping pods and upper bathroom accessible, a fire escape ladder and a catwalk made of metal grating were installed. Since walking on metal grating can be a little unnerving, especially if you're into wearing stilettos, the holes were filled in with clear resin to create a smooth, even walking surface. We don't know who resides in the Morton Loft (we're guessing the Mortons?) but we sure hope they know how lucky they are to be living in such a unique home!

1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
2/3 cup
packed brown sugar
1/2 cup
butter, melted
egg yolks
2/3 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 cup
peanut butter
1/4 cup
butter, melted
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 tablespoon
1/3 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon
Instead of melting the chocolate to drizzle on top I simply added whole semi-sweet chocolate morsels. You could even try the peanut butter kind or even reese's pieces. This was a popular and easy dessert.
When I made these I made it exactly as suggested other than using soften butter rather than fully melted. And I added some chopped peanuts between the chocolate and peanut butter. I made them specifically for my boyfriend because he likes peanut butter much more than I do. When I tried them I knew they were too rich but he agreed that there was waayy to much peanut butter. I think if you used a 9x9 pan and cut the peanut butter mixture on top in half it would be descent. I'm was a little disappointed because all of the rave reviews had me pretty excited. Overall a big disappointment for us, I'm gonna give them to the teenage boys next door.

These are a yummy treat, very easy to make. My 5-year-old made them with me and he had a lot of fun pressing the crust into the pan and then (gently!) pushing the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate layer. Also, I completely forgot to add the tablespoon of milk and it turned out fine without. The cook time on the crust seemed a little long, though. Just be sure, as one reviewer mentioned already, not to overcook it. It would be better a little lighter and fluffier than mine came out. Next time...
I thought these were pretty good. I followed the recipe exactly,but my peanut butter mixture was not crumbly at all, it was like thick peanut butter, so it was hard to spread, it turned out more marbled than layered...maybe I should refrigerate it first next time??? They were good anyhow, just not as pretty.
very simple but my kid just loved it; he thinks the Elfs made the peanut butter...do not overcook the crust, though...
As of late, after all I've baked for my husband (Trust me, it's alot!!) now all of a sudden he thinks these are his ALL TIME FAVORITES!! Creamy, addictive, like candy bars, and he claims even better coming from the freezer! So you know now they freeze well too! Make sure you plan the way you'd like to top it with chocolate. Presentation is also important. I drizzled one way with the chocolate, then crossed over the other way! Pretty for chocolate! Thank you for your recipe!
Very yummy! I added more powdered sugar to the topping to make it more crumbly- going according to the recipe it just becomes thicker peanut butter. Besides that very easy and good!
These bars are awesome. I doubled the recipe and used a jelly roll pan and it worked well. Very yummy!

Maneuvering your way through a software contract negotiation should not require you to have a degree in rocket science. Nor should you be forced to butt heads with the very same vendors with whom you're seeking to form long term, mutually beneficial partnerships.
Last week we hosted two webinars, (click here to view an on-demand recording for free) covering some tips to help you avoid common pitfalls that rear their ugly faces within software contracts. During the webinars, we received the below questions, which were answered by Clubessential CEO, Dr. William D. Ivers, Sr.
What do you do if the vendor does not agree to a one year contract?
You're in a negotiation, and so you have to think about whether you want this deal badly enough. And you need to think about why they might want it to be longer than one year — and ask them that. Search for what the reasons are that they're trying to get longer than a one year term.
Oftentimes what you will find is after you understand what they mean, maybe you can come up with a clause that will give them the protection that they need — and at the same time give you the freedom that you need.
The other thing to say is that if they won't agree to anything less than, let's say a three year contract, I would view that as a reason to ask them for a further discount, or maybe you should avoid doing business with them, because it sounds like maybe they're trying to use the contract to lock you in, unless they have a better reason than that... and that is a truly bad reason for you to have a relationship with a vendor. You've been forced to because the contract says it's longer than one year.
That is just my opinion. You'll have to negotiate your own contract yourself.
Should you insist on having the contract governed by laws in your state?
If you have an attorney on your side, the first thing that she will argue is that the contract ought to be governed by laws in a specific state. Obviously this is a difficult clause to negotiate because it's one of those win-lose clauses. Whichever party wins, the other party loses.
I have two points on this: First of all, if it's a really big company that you're negotiating with, you should just capitulate, because you can't get it any other way. If it's a small company, and you've got a lot of clout over them, maybe you could get it your way.
If you're comparable in size, then I would suggest that you do a clause (you can find these on the internet) that says either party can sue but the law applied will be the state of the party getting sued. The advantage of that is that it makes it more painful for somebody to sue the other party. And believe me, the last thing you want in a contract situation is to be in a lawsuit, because then it's just a question of who loses the most.
What is a fair way to handle limiting increases in prices?
Most contracts will have say something along the lines of: "We're not allowed to increase prices by more than X% in any given year."
This is a little bit tricky because for most clubs, they want to avoid surprises where suddenly they get a big increase in their IT bill because these prices got increased. I understand that problem.
Sometimes people will try to restrict the price increase to the rate of growth in the consumer price index. I find that particularly difficult to manage, and I don't like that clause.
From the point of view of the vendor, in our case for example, we've never had an across the board price increase in the last 12 years. We've had to increase prices in a few cases where things were under-priced and so on. So, for me, the logistics of doing a price increase are pretty difficult and I don't like to do them. But when I do them, I'd like to get an increase that's more substantial than just a little tiny increase, because the overhead of getting the price increase done is so burdensome. If I am limited to just the consumer price index, then that, at least these days, is almost not worth the trouble.
But I do understand the needs of the club, that they don't want to keep getting hit by ever-increasing prices... so one clause that I like to use is a clause that says I'm allowed to increase it at a certain percentage, but that in any given three year period you can't exceed some more modest value on average. That way, I can get a substantial price increase that is worth all the work involved, but I am restricted from doing that very often, so the long term increase is held down for the club.
Another thing you can do is to say that the price can't increase at all for the entire first term. That is a very common rule. Beyond that, I'd just try to work it out with your vendor and come up with a number that you both agree to.
Please remember though that most software companies are trying to increase the quality of their products all of the time, so holding them to the consumer price index may not be the best way to ensure the most productive relationship for both of you. You do want all of those enhancements and it would be nice if they threw them in because they were getting a little bit of an increase here and there.
What kind of performance hurdles do you want in software contracts? (Such as up-time requirements.)
If I was General Motors and I was contracting with IBM to do my computing, I would be all over this clause... and try to figure out how to write it in there with big penalties, etc., and I'm sure there are a lot of companies that have to do these types of things.
But in the club industry, for the modest amount of work that's being done, comparatively speaking for the club, trying to organize a performance hurdle and actually measure it, report on it, and so forth, is almost as big as the job of providing whatever software is being provided in the first place. And so, I've got to say that I've never yet seen a contract that had performance hurdles in it that I liked. They always seem onerous to me, and they never seem like they're going to work. They don't really measure the right things that need to be measured, and it would be difficult to measure the right things anyway.
I think it's better to go by the reputation of the vendor, and talk to people who are using their products to figure out whether or not they're going to provide good service for you.
Trying to penalize them... it's never going to be a big enough penalty. And if it was a big enough penalty, one bad problem for them could put them out of business, which you don't want to have happen either.
So I would urge you to just ignore performance hurdles; they don't work. Instead, have them give you a list of people who are using the products, who will give you a better idea of whether or not you're going to get good performance. Some things just can't be easily guaranteed in a contract. I'm reminded of the ladder manufacturers who are all required to put stickers on their ladders saying you shouldn't climb up ane grab a high tension electrical wire - do you suppose there has ever been a case in history where someone actually avoided grabbing a high tension wire because they read such stickers? Performance clauses are the same thing: they won't affect the actions of your vendor and they won't cover the costs of a problem if one comes up. So they aren't worth negotiating.

Well I can ramble as good as anybody, so let me just say that no landscape photographer is a complete person until she or he has taken a look at some paintings done by the Hudson River School of painters. Those are the guys who first paired up "Luminous" with "Landscape."
Gorgeous stuff! Light, color, and tonality in beautiful, glowing assemblage. And a curiously different take on how one perceives a landscape compared to what we have today, definitely food for contemplation. You have to see the very large scale originals, googling just returns way-too-contrasty,
prissy little .jpgs
. There are a fair number of such paintings in museums around the US, and quite a few in Washington, DC galleries.
There's a book on the shelves of Barnes & Noble called "The Hudson River School, Nature and the American Vision" by Ferber which has some reasonably decent reproductions. I was so taken with it I actually bought one. Tell you what, those guys had naturalistic HDR down pat in the mid nineteenth century!
Those painters didn't necessarily stay in the Hudson Valley, there's a lot of western paintings including some Yosemite pieces that defined the perceptions and aspirations of many people of that time. These days that's the job of television, sigh.
So anyway, an aspiring landscape photographer must not neglect the long line of artistic ancestors that formerly stood where he now aspires to stand. Or something. Know what went before, but don't get hung up on it, and go easy on the Antelope Canyon stuff, OK?

You make an excellent point, bill t., and can add landscape masters such as Constable and Turner in the UK amongst many others. They have a way of painting light that add so much brilliance to their work, truly luminous landscapes, as you point out.

Great touchstones Bill and Terry! Yes you do have to see the originals. they are great narrative paintings and reproduction on a screen or even in a book fails them.

Being Canadian and often shooting in Ontario's north woods, I should have mentioned various members of the Group of Seven (e.g. Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, J.E.H. MacDonald) and Tom Thomson as well as west coaster Emily Carr. Their use of colour to portray light is unique, abstract, but not. While not directly portable to photography, their style is certainly inspiring.

There were several great "schools" and also many individual phenoms. And there are still some pretty awesome landscape painters working today.
This guy
paints the same subjects that I shoot, and damn he's good!
It seems that in the previous few centuries there was a kind of emotional connection between artists and their landscape subjects of a type that we are afraid of in these times. We "got over" romanticism, but maybe now we're stuck over compensating for perceived past excesses. I have to admit to inner conflict in regards to the semi-romantic, large canvas photos I make. I feel I'm not being hip and I'm certainly not being edgy, but on the other hand something keeps me making them beyond just the profit motive because I actually like those pieces!

Lots of great comments in this thread. A couple of points that jump out at me. Someone mentioned using a tripod, and you mentioned that yours, "slowed me down". That is a good thing! Spend more time. Read books by John Shaw. He suggests you work the scene, have your composition well in mind, the angles you intend to shoot at, the exposure settings you intend to try, etc. Then set up your tripod.
Before you click the shutter button, Shaw suggests you ask yourself, "Why am I taking this shot?" What exactly is the subject? What is the impact I want to the photograph to have on anyone who looks at it?
That leads me to comment on something that is not easy for me to describe, and that is emotion. (Re-read a comment by Rich Desmond above, esp. his final paragraph)
You describe your passion for the Colorado area near your home that you visit often to photograph. The challenge for you and all of us is to separate our own passion for a scene from the emotions of whomever it may be who views our photos. It is true you own passion is key. It is that passion that drives you to take the photo. But, what about my emotion. I may never have been to the location of your photo. I was not there since before dawn waiting to catch that perfect light. I do not hear any birds or see any coyotes lurking about. Now, can your photo that I look at in the comfort of my living room far from Colorado evoke the same emotions in me? Am I looking at a "Wow" photograph? Does that location of where you took the photo really matter or is it the photograph by itself that makes me marvel. Can I in turn wow you with a photograph I take on the beach within a mile from my home in Massachusetts?
For example, lets take a famous photo taken by Ansel Adams. Do I really have to know that those falls I am looking at is in Yosemite? I might indeed take interest to know where the falls are so I can go take a look in person, but that is not what makes it a great photo. It is the composition, the lighting, the angles, and yes, the majesty of the place and all the things that went into producing the final image which for certain included darkroom editing that make that a "wow" photo.
Books by John Shaw, Bryan Peterson, Rob Sheppard have helped me, but also I have taken courses online where experts critique my images of a weekly assignment. These get me out to areas close to home to take pictures, use and learn about my camera, too, but not dwell too much on the make of my camera or the price of the lens, but to concentrate and learn what are the elements that go into producing "wow" images on our own. Some of my best images have been taken only a few feet from my front door, and someone else looking at them would not know. The location is not important, it is the image itself!
Here is a quote I like. (I forget where I read it, probably John Shaw). Probably not a direct quote, but nevertheless.....
"Do not just take a picture, make a photograph!"

The art you create and the art you like are your subjective responses to the world you inhabit. Your choices say a lot about you, your state of mind, and how you see yourself in the context of the times, places, and people you live in and with. Even if you are unconscious of how you are synthesizing all of those internal and external pressures it comes out in the art.
If your goal is to make what you consider fine art (others may or may not agree ) then it is not so easily as just picking one tool over another, or aping someone else's style and technique. It will take some degree of introspection and self-awareness and being open and honest with yourself.

text: Hi guys, wanted to share this with you who are interested. Hilleberg makes some amazing tent, but unfortunately the price tag keeps most guys from being able to get their hands on one to test it out before buying it. Here is a quick hunting review we did on the Nallo 3GT model. Hope it helps give you a feel for how the tent would work on a hunt.

Interpretive Handbook
60069 :
Monoclonal Protein Study, Random, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Urine proteins can be grouped into 5 fractions by protein electrophoresis:
-Gamma globulin
The urine total protein concentration, the electrophoretic pattern, and the presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain may be characteristic of monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma, primary systemic amyloidosis, and light-chain deposition disease. The use of a random urine specimen is sufficient for identifying the presence or absence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin, but a 24 hour specimen is preferred for quantitating and monitoring the abnormality.
See An Expanded Algorithm for the Laboratory Evaluation of Suspected Multiple Myeloma in Special Instructions and the Laboratory Approach to the Diagnosis of Amyloidosis algorithm in Special Instructions. Also see Diagnosis and Monitoring of Multiple Myeloma in Publications.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing monoclonal gammopathies
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A characteristic monoclonal band (M-spike) is often found in the urine of patients with monoclonal gammopathies. The initial identification of an M-spike or an area of restricted migration is followed by immunofixation to identify the immunoglobulin heavy chain and/or light chain.
Immunoglobulin free light chains as well as heavy chain fragments may be seen in the urine of patients with monoclonal gammopathies. The presence of a monoclonal light-chain M-spike of >1 g/24 hours is consistent with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma or macroglobulinemia.
The presence of a small amount of monoclonal light chain and proteinuria (total protein >3 g/24 hrs) that is predominantly albumin is consistent with primary systemic amyloidosis (AL) or light-chain deposition disease (LCDD).
Because patients with AL or LCDD may have elevated urinary protein without an identifiable M-spike, urine protein electrophoresis is not considered an adequate screen for these disorders and immunofixation is also performed.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Monoclonal gammopathies are rarely seen in patients <30 years of age.
Hemolysis may cause a discrete band on protein electrophoresis, which will be negative on immunofixation.
Penicillin may split the albumin band.
Radiographic agents may produce an uninterpretable pattern.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
The following fractions, if present, will be reported as a percent of the total protein:
No reference values apply to random urine.
