If an identical replacement is not available you can substitute one of equal or larger size, although if the replacement is larger than the original, the additional space is not used. Having an available spare is certainly a meritorious idea if the data being stored is valuable.

Maybe "only a tiny fraction of a percent actually fail", but fail they do. I lost a great deal of data just two years ago when a 40GB hard drive in a Toshiba laptop that was less than 2 years old failed.
The estimate for recovering the data was over $2,000, and even then there was no guarentee.
Statistics are always trumped by personal experience. Since then I make have daily backups, or use RAID 5, and I hold my pants up with a piece of string along with my belt.

I think Micheal's got the right idea with RAID-5. As he points out, his files can reach up to 400MB in size each!!! I've had my 20D now for only 6 months and with 8MB RAW files and space to process 25MB TIFF files I'm already rapidly running out of storage.
This level of files are just about manageable with external drives and multiple copies for me, but given that the largest available drive is 500GB, that could be as little as 1250 pictures using a 2 drive setup for MR. That's probably not very many. And on acrchive that's only 11 files per DVD maybe 21 if you use dual layer...
The megapixel race is all well and good, and in MR's case is worse than most with 1DS mkII and medium format digital backs... The sad fact is that storage devices for PC's aren't keeping pace with camera's ability to generate data. How long before 1TB is not so much??
The more drives you have, the more need you have for RAID type solutions as the chances of failure increase. Also with NAS type devices, the temptation is to leave it on permanently, this dramatically increases the usage of the drive (spin time) and means you're more likely to have a failure. Drives are rated by MTBF and on/off cycles. The latter is usually tens of thousands, and in your PC, unless you leave it on, the drive spends more time off than on. Bet that won't be the case with a NAS drive...
I work with 1000's of terabytes of disk and individual drive failures are a regular occurence. As we use more and more disk, the likelyhood you'll see one will increase too...
I would also not advocate use of RAID-5 without a hot spare. Peformance dives when a drive has failed until the missing drive has been rebuilt. If you've already taken a compromise by using NAS over ethernet then you may find performance unusable whilst rebuilding.

Does anyone have thoughts on how to combine such a disk based RAID5 system with off site redundancy, to guard against theft, fire, flooding or other dusaster? For example, is there a way to easily, routinley replicate the contents of the RAID5 system on a remote system?

The Buffalo LinkStation mentioned by drew can, like the Linksys nslu2, be set up to automatically back up its main disk onto the secondary disk every night. (Might save you some time drew.)
The Buffalo received better reviews than the Linksys in terms of throughput.
Neither of these systems is as good as a RAID, but for a home user on a budget, they provide a big increase in security.
Mac users have another option: simply attach two external drives of the same size (firewire is the recommended interface as it is higher performance than USB in real throughput) and tell OSX to configure them as a RAID 1. Presto, you have redundant storage.
Want easy off-premises backup in case of fire or disaster? Buy a third disk. Fail the RAID by removing one disk (which you will now store off-premises), plug in the third disk in place of the one you removed to take off-prmemises, tell the OS to rebuild the RAID, and you are back in busniess. Rotate the on-line and the off-premises disks to ensure your off-prem disaster backup is up to date.
Finally, if you want the data on the Mac RAID to be available to others, you can share it over your local network and/or you can enable the Mac as an FTP server (it's all built into OSX) to allow remote access from the internet. You'll need to do the same trick Michael mentions in the addendum to his article if your ISP dynamically assigns you an IP address.
BTW, the cheapest way to get an external hard disk is to by a bare ATA disk drive (don't waste your money on SATA as neither USB2 nor firewire run that fast) and pop it into an external USB/firewire enclosure. I noticed Macally enclosures for about $US 50 and the price of disks just keeps coming down.

I use the BuffaloTech 250 on my network for back up. However, I also have a Maxtor OneTouch II 300GB drive attached via Firewire to my Dell Workstation. The one button backup feature of this device makes it very easy to back up.
I was looking at the RAID5 after reading Michael's review. My question is does this set up eliminate the need to back up original RAW files to write-once DVD's for a permanent archive of the originals?

On the Outback web site, I read about a utility pgm for Windows, MirrorFolder 3.0.
I installed the trial version and it works great! You can configure specific folders to back up to a second hard disk, including scheduling and deleting orphan files and folders on the destination drive.
I'm using it to back up the "My Documents" folder on my Dell Precision Workstation RAID 0 internal drives to a BuffaloTech DriveStation 250 on my home LAN. The BuffaloTech utility only provides for backups and not file and folder duplication on another drive.
Locally, I backup My Documents to a Maxtor OneTouch 300 II connected via Firewire. This set up is working for me know so I think that I'll hold off on buying a ReadyNAS 600.

Hi Michael
Just bare in mind that RAID5 only makes sense if you have a spare disk available in case one fails. The problem from my perspective is that RAID5 only works if all disks used in are identical. So if one of the disks fails in three years, what are the chances of finding an identical hard drive ...
Better buy on (or two) now :-)
Best regards

I read Michael's review of this device with great interest.
I do not want to give a shopping guide, but I have been using a network storage device which is much cheaper than the ReadyNAS. This is a Buffalo link station which has its own built in drive (up to 300GB) and has two USB2 ports to act either as a print server or to plug in one additional USB2 drive to increase the available network storage. Obviously, this is not RAID, but I back up my files to another USB/Firewire drive by hand via a local connection on another PC. The linkstation is accessible by any machine plugged into my LAN using a utility bundled with the device.
In relation to the issue of disk failure, I believe this is overstated. I have a friend who is an IT Officer for a local NHS (National Health Service, UK) Trust and he has dealt with literally thousands of hard drives over the years. Only a tiny fraction of a percent actually fail. In a way, RAID increases the risk of failure becoming a problem (even if your data is preserved) by a factor of the number of disks in the array. Needing to have at least one comparable drive to rebuild the array in case of failure simply increases the cost and I seriously question whether it really is the most efficient use of what will be for most people a limited budget for such things.
Finally, my network currently runs at 100MB/sec. As Michael says, this is fine for a lot of the time. However, it is more limiting than just not recommending it for video streaming. The greatest irritation is with using file browsers that build thumbnails. PS CS's own file browser is particularly annoying in this regard as it can take quite a few minutes for the browser to build the thumbs before you can actually use it (or Photoshop itself for that matter) when accessing folders over the network from the Linkstation. The strategy that I am developing to overcome this limitation is always to nest folders within folders (never together with files) and to not have too many files within each folder.

Yes, precisely the problem with providing healthcare and trying to keep a lid on the economics of it.
Laptop drives are maybe a little more prone to failure because of cooling issues. Cold comfort (pun intended), I appreciate. The only time I have had a hard drive failure, the data remained recoverable. This was on a 40GB IBM deskstar, a model that is a bit notorious for problems.
The bottom line is always back-up, RAID or otherwise.

I have a friend who is an IT Officer for a local NHS (National Health Service, UK) Trust and he has dealt with literally thousands of hard drives over the years. Only a tiny fraction of a percent actually fail.
There is a big difference between business and consumer oriented storage systems. The business systems (as delivered by Hitachi Data Systems and EMC) are constructed from lots of small capacity drives (up to 70 Mbytes) and are burnt in before they get to the customer. I would not be surpised if the manfacturers do not also do accelerated life tests on samples from each disc drive supplier, such that by the time the discs are installed on customers premises there is a low risk of failure from an individual disc.
Consumer equipment is not tested to such a high level, is generally of higher capacity and manufactured to lower tolerences. They are, therefore, much more likely to fail than those deployed in an enterprise system. My current experience with disc drives is a 50% failure rate within 6 months of purchase (this is perhaps an unfortunate and extreme case), however, had I not utilised mirrored storage and an automated backup system I would be turning the air blue with a string of expletives which could not be published in such a forum. As it is the damage is limited to another Euro100 per disc and 5 minutes of screw twidling to replace the faulty unit.
Not investing in some form of protection for your data is a dangerous game to play.

Another option used by some is a dual RAID 1 mirror, where one drive is essentially a mirror of another. With a two drive enclosure and three drives, you can pull one, put in the old drive to be rebuilt, and take the third offsite (home, safety deposit box, etc.).
While possibly not as efficient financially as RAID 5, it does solve the backup/damage/theft issues quite nicely.

The linkstation is accessible by any machine plugged into my LAN using a utility bundled with the device.
I use a Linksys NSLU2 device in a similar manner. The NSLU2 lives on the network (and actually runs Linux under the covers, but that is another story), and can have 2 USB 2.0 drives attached to it. It has a mode where all the data from one drive is automatically copied to the 2nd drive, which is kind of like a poor man's RAID approach.
The NSLU2 is under $100 (last I looked) and you can get large USB drives pretty inexpensively these days (Costco usually has good deals on Maxtor USB drives).
Works for me, though I also back up all photos on DVD as well.

I use direct drive mirroring, which is obviously only 50% efficient.
In doing some research to upgrade to full RAID5 for the added efficiency, I forwarded the ReadyNAS specs to my computer networking guru. His take was I could build a 1TB RAID on a Dell server, complete with Gigabit LAN for less money and end up with a bit more flexibility. Obviously this requires that the end user knows how to configure the system, a non-trivial task IMO. Given the ReadyNAS apears pretty much plug&play, it seems a good value.

That depends entirely on the risk you are prepared to take. RAID-5 gives enchanced reliability without going as far as fully mirrored disks and usually provides some kind of automatic recovery to a spare disk in the case of single drive failure.
Although rare, you can get double failures which RAID won't cope with (and are usually caused by poor ventilation which is more common in home environments) and you could still get software corruption of data... Don't forget having optical copies stored elsewhere may be worthwhile if the pictures are valuable.
So my view would be whilst RAID-5 should reduce the need to restore from backup, it doesn't eliminate it.

The program I have been using for years, and which I highly recommend, is
Is use it to keep machines in two different locations synchronized, using a portable 60 GB USB 2.0 disk as transport medium. In this way I always have three copies of everything, in tow locations.

This panorama, taken at the newly remodeled Papa John's Cardinal Stadium by Christopher Gjevre, features the University of Louisville football team playing to a capacity crowd. The $72-million stadium expansion, completed in 2010, increased seating capacity from 42,000 to 55,000 and added 33 suites. The University claims that Papa John's Cardinal Stadium is the only stadium owned and operated by a United States university with all-chairback seating; there are no bleachers in the stadium. Founded in 1798, the University was the first city-owned public university in the United States and currently enrolls over 22,000 students annually.
Saturday afternoon in September, under a beautiful blue sky, with a jam-packed house and the cross-state rivals from UK in town to open the newly-renovated stadium...it doesn't get any better than this! Bring your wall alive with football glory in the heart of Kentucky. This spectacular, rare football print features the scene at the stadium on September 4, 2010. As the opening kickoff soars and the fans go crazy...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From the spectacular sky above, to the architectural stadium details, to the surrounding campus buildings, to the action on the field below, it's all here, looking absolutely fantastic. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a historic collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any student, alumnus, athlete, Cardinals fan, or Kentucky native!

Koa Konstrictor
Bingo! Usually, the calendar questions are lame, but I was surprised to learn JT is the ONLY Dolphin to do this.Originally Posted by opfinistic

A Naturalist and Other Beasts
Tales from a Life in the Field
Hardcover (ISBN: 978-1-57805-129-8)
Paperback (ISBN: 978-1-57805-170-0)
272 pages
76 b/w photographs
Since the 1950s, eminent field biologist George Schaller has roamed through many lands observing wild animals and conducting landmark long-term studies that have deepened our understanding of these creatures. He has reported and reflected on his work in classic books such as The Year of the Gorilla, The Last Panda, and National Book Award winner The Serengeti Lion, but much of his best writing has been ephemeral, published in magazines only to drop out of sight. This collection features nineteen short pieces, here brought together in book form for the first time, offering a unique overview of his remarkable career.
Chapters describe stalking tigers in India and jaguars in Brazil's Pantanal swamps, studying mountain gorillas in Rwanda and predator-prey relations in the Serengeti, tracking new species on the wild border of Vietnam and Laos, seaching for snow leopards in the Hindu Kush, and Schaller's groundbreaking work with giant pandas in Sichuan. Later accounts broaden the focus from individual creatures to whole ecosystems. "The careless rapture of my early studies has been replaced more and more by efforts to protect animals and their habitats," he writes.
New to this book are Schaller's introductions for each chapter, which add and update information, and an overall introduction that looks back on his career. His own photographs appear throughout: of animals and their behavior, of fieldwork, of the author and his family "on location" in temporary homes from a hut in the African highlands to a tent in the snowy mountains of China.
George B. Schaller, vice president and science director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York, continues to travel widely on field research and to meet with governments and organizations on conservation projects. He is the author of many popular and scientific articles and books. Dr. Schaller lives in Connecticut with his wife, Kay.

What I love about Spokane:
I love that Spokane is big enough to find plenty to do, but still has a sense of community. Whether you enjoy shopping or parasailing, theatre or hockey, there are lots of things to do for every taste.
One of my favorite classes at GU:
I loved my Writing for Business class with Sister Taufen! She was an excellent writer, a wonderful human being, and a gifted teacher. I still use the techniques today that I learned in her class many years ago.
Advice for students going through the admission process:
Stay organized! Get a blank calendar, put all your application and scholarship deadlines on it, and hang it on the refrigerator. Also, get the name and contact information for the Admissions Counselor assigned to your high school at each college you're applying to - it's so helpful to have someone to call when you have a question.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

New Infographic Emphasizes Role of Involved Dads in Children's Well-Being
March 20th is the International Day of Happiness, so don't forget to take time to smell the roses, smile, and read some news about raising happy children! The research-based infographic, "The Science of Raising Happy Kids," highlights the impact of nurturing parenting styles on early brain development, the influence of parents' happiness and optimism, and doing kind acts for others on children's well-being throughout life.
The infographic also emphasizes the high importance of father involvement, citing one study that found, "feeling loved by Dad was even more important for kids' wellbeing, happiness, and life satisfaction than feeling loved by Mom." It noted that the most effective fathers:
- listen to their kids
- have a close relationship with them
- set appropriate rules
- give freedom when it makes sense
Click here to see the full infographic or here for a text-only version.
Find more information and resources on being an effective and involved father at our National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse website, www.fatherhood.gov.
Text-Only Version of The Science of Raising Happy Kids Infographic
The Importance of Being Nurturing
Kids with nurturing moms have bigger brains. A study found that preschoolers with nurturing, supportive moms have a 10% larger hippocampus (the part of the brain that handles stress and memory) by the time they get to school age.
Love from Dad Matters
One study found that feeling loved by Dad was even more important for kids' wellbeing, happiness, and life satisfaction than feeling loved by Mom.
The most effective dads:
- listen to their kids
- have a close relationship with them
- set appropriate rules
- give freedom when it makes sense
Your Happiness Matters
A mom's satisfaction with her life is more important to a young child's social and emotional skills than:
- her education
- her income
- whether she has a job
- the amount of time the kids spends in childcare
Ideas for ways to spend some time on yourself:
- watch a funny movie
- get dinner with a friend
- do a mood-boosting exercise
- talk to someone who cares (about you!)
The Importance of Optimism
Fill the glass half full. Kids who learn to be optimistic when they're 10-12 years old are half as likely to be depressed during puberty.
How do you react to problems? Even 5-year-olds can understand the benefits of positive thinking to help them feel better. They get their sunny outlooks by watching how their parents react to problems.
Praise Kids for Effort, Not Brains
Children praised for their abilities or intelligence, rather than their efforts, have a harder time coping with failure.
Kids praised for efforts are more likely to enjoy challenging tasks and show more motivation.
Self-discipline is a better predictor of a junior-high student's grades than IQ.
Skip the One-Size-Fits-All Approach
When parenting styles aren't suited to a child's personality, the kid is twice as likely to be anxious or depressed.
If your child is good at regulating her own emotions and actions, she'll need less structure and more autonomy from you.
If your child is poor at regulating her own emotions and actions, she'll need more structure and less autonomy from you.
Kids Are More Resilient than We Think
80% of kids who experience their parent's separation or divorce don't go on to have psychological problems
Many kids whose parents maintain respectful communication and cooperation [after separation or divorce]:
- go on to achieve career and education goals
- maintain close family ties
- enjoy healthy intimate relationships
However...Take Off the Boxing Gloves
How you argue matters. Compared to kids with less-hostile parents, kids who grow up with parental conflict:
- do worse in school
- are more likely to drink and use drugs
- have poorer emotional wellbeing
Kids Want Meaningful Lives, Too
Even 8-year-olds are happier if they feel their lives have meaning. Help children find meaning in their lives by encouraging them to do activities such as:
- doing something kind for a friend or classmate
- volunteering their time
- planning an event for friends or family
- joining a team or club they care about
Encourage Generosity
Performing kind acts made pre-teens happier-- and better liked by their classmates, too.
Simple acts of kindness for kids:
- text a friend who's sad
- share something of yours with a younger sibling
- compliment a kid you don't know
- spend time with an older family member
Studies show that even toddlers are happier when giving treats to others than receiving treat. (And they're happier giving away treats that belong to them then identical treats that don't!)
Kids Have 8 Fewer Hours of Unstructured Playtime Than They Had 20 Years Ago
Play helps kids develop:
- creativity
- motor skills
- emotional strength
- cognition
- social skills
Encourage Kids to Get Physical
Playing sports on a team or just for fun makes kids happier and better behaved
Feeling competent is the secret. Tweens who think they're good at a sport have higher levels of wellbeing than kids who actually are good at it.
Get off the couch! Watching TV is linked to unhappiness. A 7-year study of over 4,000 teens found that those who watched more TV were more likely to develop depressive symptoms, with the rate increasing 8& with every additional hour of TV watched.
Which Countries Have Happy Kids
In a study of 12 countries including the U.S., UK, and Canada, the happiest kids live in:
1. Mexico
2. Spain.
3. Brazil
4. Germany
At the bottom of the list?
11. Japan

Dick Nelles understood farming and agricultural business. It was 1985 and in Winnipeg, Dick, through a friend, was introduced to a small lawn-care business, which he bought, called Nutrilawn.
It interested him even though the company had little equipment, but what excited his imagination, and his entrepreneurial spirit, was the idea of bringing to lawn-care some of truths that were ingrained in him from farming. The greatest of those was that spot treatment of weeds was a healthier and more ecology friendly way of doing things than blanket spraying. And so twenty five years before 'green' became a bi-word for lawn-care, Nutrilawn began to build its business on that idea.
With the "two hose" system Dick felt he could leverage this difference, and, through franchising, attract like-minded entrepreneurs interested in doing business, and creating a category, a little differently. Marketing through brochures, and giving free estimates, the business expanded into Vancouver and Calgary in 1987 with company stores, and then Dick met Gary Redfern (at a gas station one day) who wanted to run a Nutrilawn franchise in Edmonton, which he subsequently opened and grew to great success.
The agriculturalist in Dick inspired him to hire agronomists who would continue to develop new products that would meet the requirements of ecology friendly lawn care, whilst also writing the very strong procedural and operational manuals which would be required to create a consistent and long-standing brand. Dick even designed the uniforms.
With early and proven success established, 1989 and 1990 saw the real ramping up of Nutrilawn and franchise partners joined the company, some of whom represent the values and traditions of these early days still today.
When Dick sold Nutrilawn in 1993 the fundamentals of innovation in product, authenticity in service, and the passion for doing the right thing for lawns and the homeowners who love and cherish them, had been cemented into a brand that has been recognized as a leader ever since.

I've tried out the MIG gloves and absolutley love them. The only thing I think they can improve on is whenever I pick up something still hot, they don't offer much heat protection. They also lasted longer than the other gloves I've used. Other gloves only lasted about 2 months and these lased almost 4 now.
i received my set of gloves today. first impressions are WOW!! they look great
the first thing i noticed was they have a MIG glove and a MIG/Stick glove, both very sturdy gloves one (MIG) is good thick leather yet still very comfortable and flexible. kinda reminds me of a thicker version of a TIG glove, should be great for low to mid amp MIGing, the other (MIG/Stick) is the same glove only with some added insulation but still a great fit and very flexible, much nicer than the standard leather padded welding glove we all pick up at TSC or our LWS. should do well for the higher amps as well as with stick. i had a chance to use the MIG/Stick gloves this after noon wile working on some pipe and was very happy with the form and function. i think they both fill a much needed gap between the heavy padded glove and the thin TIG glove. i have to admit i have always wanted some thing in-between the 2 standard options readily available and these fit that bill to a T. i was very pleased with the the gloves this after noon and am looking forward to trying out the others. so far the only drawback i see is i really didn't want to get them all dirty as they are really nice looking gloves. but as with any tool you gotta get her in the muck if you intend to use it right. the MIG/Stick gloves gave me great feel for the material, much nicer than the bulky padded gloves i was using be for for MIG.
as for the TIG and metal working gloves so far all i can say is they look great fit great, feel great, and i cant wait to get them dirty as well.
wile i have no idea the price of them so far i can say i would definitely pay a bit more for the gloves i have used and will definitely be getting another pair when these ones need replacing even if the price was double what i was paying for the big bulky gloves, it really is that much nicer to have the right fit and feel, it just makes working with the pipe that much essayer and i can see a great advantage when i am doing fit up as its almost like not having them on. just cant say how much i like them big A+++ on the MIG/Stick gloves, great job.
big thanks to Miller for letting me try them out. you can bet i'll be shopping for more when the time comes to get more.
looks like a pic is in order, i'll take a few tomarow. you guys gotta see these great looking gloves.
are you using the MIG or the MIG/Stick gloves?? keeping in mind any glove is not going to let you pick stuff up right after welding, i thought the MIG/Stick ones were quite comprible to the big bulky gloves for heat protection when grabing the fresh weld. yea i know your not suposed to but ya still mess up and do it once in a wile, well i do any ways.LOL and i thought they did a great job of alowing me to put it back without any real consern. i was only welding 1/8" pipe so it wasent that hot i supose but still could have been a real bummer in a non-insulated version. so if ya have the MIG gloves and tend to grab the hot stuff a lot you might try the MIG/Stick gloves out, still great controle but with a lil extra protection for the oops'es.thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com

I just got my Gloves in the mail today. . I opened the box and man I was impressed. they look great and feel wonderful ! . I can tell that MILLER put some serious thought and time in the design of these gloves. . I like how they have different gloves for all types of welding. . no more one or two pares to chose from. . they have a MIG glove, Heavy duty MIG/stick glove,Tig glove,
and also a Steelworker glove. WOW that is a lot of choices , I am used to having two gloves to chose from and now I will have the choice to wear the correct type welding glove for the welding that I am doing at that time. one thing I like is that each glove has a piece of material made in a loop in the inside of the glove that you can hang them on. they all have the name MILLER on the edge of the cuff. and have MILLER on them in bold letters so everyone can see that you are wearing some of the finest gloves made by the company that makes the Best welders ! I like how the gloves fit my hand like they were custom made for my hand. on the MIG gloves I see that MILLER put a big piece of leather on the back side. this will help in my hand not getting cooked, as they do in other gloves. thats a good design. the MIG gloves are flexible and that will help in those crucial mig gun angles. and they are well padded but yet flexible. in the Heavy duty Mig/stick gloves they are well designed to cradle the electrode holder. MILLER designed this glove to be well used in stick welding. they feel great on my hand and not Bulky like the traditional stick gloves. and the little finger in the glove fits my finger just right.the glove has a nice little extra piece of leather along the edge of my little finger and down my hand,backside, this will be great as some times you need to drag your hand or prop your hand while welding out of position.
both the MIG gloves and the MIG/STICK gloves have a extra well placed piece of leather on the palm of the hand for durability and when the gloves are on you cant even tell that it is their, .smooth feeling to the hand.
and the leather is VERY flexible! . . the TIG gloves have the flexible top quality goatskin that is needed when Tig welding. they have the freedom of movement that you need. I like the leather cuff on the glove, this well help the glove to last a long time. it also has extra reinforcement of the same goatskin in the palm that bends nice. they are the traditional color of white and have the MILLER name and logo on the back of the hand. sweet.
all of Millers gloves have double stitched seams that will last for a long time
I hate to get them dirty but I know I will enjoy using them
and as for the Metalworking gloves these gloves feel nice, they have a mixture of goat skin in the palm & fingers and a stretchable material on the back side of the hand with a velcro closure on the wrist that will give me support when lifting steel. they have a nonskid material in the palm so the steel wont slip out of my hand. I am looking forward to using them and I can think of lots of other uses besides working with metal. they are a good gripping working glove. . MILLER you did a great job on these gloves, well thought out. I look forward to using them and I will fill everyone in on my results
Thanks MILLER . & John S
well i didn't get a chance to do any more welding or even get out to the shop today as it was a run arens day. so i thought i would see how long the metal working gloves would be comfortable to wear, so i used them as my driving gloves today, about 4Hrs in the car and they felt great. yea i know not the intended use but they felt good after long where and i figured that was worth checking out, ok so really they looked cool and i couldn't wait to wear them.
i was picking up a tank of Co2 for some MIGing tomorrow so i can try out the MIG gloves a bit and thought i would check availability of the gloves at my LWS.
i gotta say i was a bit disappointed. i think Miller needs to push the stores to get a display out there. at my first WS stop i asked about them and they said they had not seen them and don't have any plans for getting them in in future. so i whipped out the set to show them and gave them my first impressions, the counter guy liked them but has no control over purchasing. too bad, thats a big area that wont get to see the new gloves and leaves every one near me with only the standard choices of TIG or BIG. real bummer there.
nest WS stop they had the hole set there, nice wall display jackets, gloves shirts and all the miller hoods. its enough to make ya start drooling on your self.LOL
the MIG/stick gloves priced out at $19 prob ly a bit higher than most would expect to pay for a welding glove but as i said early er i would pay double for them over the big bulky option so its still my plan to get another set when needed. also his prices are not the set in stone price so check your LWS for local pricing.looks like cy ber weld is carrying them close to the same price's
Miller Mig Gloves - Designed for medium-duty MIG welding and metal working tasks.
Miller Heavy Duty MIG/Stick Welding Gloves - Designed with the features and performance that the professional MIG and Stick welder requires in a glove.
Miller TIG Welding Glove - Made from goatskin and specifically designed for the demands of TIG welding.
again a bit higher than the traditional glove but well worth the added expense IMO. and if they hold up any where near as well as they look like they will its well worth getting them. so skip the extra cocco-lotae-moka-capacheano at lunch for a few days and try out a pair, you will never go back the old glove again.thanks for the help
hope i helped

the latest isue of power click has a chance to win the hole new line of the miller welding gear, just take a simple test (heck they give you the answers if ya read the cheat sheet) then pick a box. its a 1 out of 3 chance to win and then it could be 1 pice or the hole set. if ya dont get the power click this is a good time to start getting it.
i'm realy glad i got picked to test the gloves as my LWS dose not carie them and has no plans to at this point so i would most likely never have known there was a better option out there. i hate ordering this typ of stuff off the net as i like to get a chance to feel out a glove befor buying. so i would have been stuck with the same old boring, no fitting, just get ya by type of glove. now i know its worth it to go out of my way to find the miller gloves. you all should do the same you will realy like them. if ya get a pair and don't like them feel free to send them my way but i dont see any one not liking them.
now if i can just figure out how to get on the test list for the new MM210thanks for the help
