The National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good has hosted four webinars through the uLEAD Network, each addressing a different aspect of postsecondary access and support for immigrant and undocumented students. These webinars are an important part of our outreach, education, and advocacy efforts: they allow a national audience to learn from our expert colleagues at no cost for the audience and minimal cost for us.
There are many ways to run a webinar, and the guide below should help you decide what options are right for your organization, your audience, and your budget.
Find your team
A webinar is a medium for education and communication, and the team you assemble will define what, how, and to whom you intend to communicate. Start thinking about who might fill these important roles.
Content and format
Of course, the most important content consideration is your subject matter. This will drive the entire planning process, from inviting presenters to creating promotional materials to making technical decisions. Your subject matter (and the subtopics to be addressed by each presenter) should guide your decisions on each of the following matters.
Sample webinar formats
Each section of the presentations should connect to the overarching subject in a natural way—that is, audience members should understand why each topic is being discussed in the context of this webinar. However, keep in mind that your presenters have expertise and experience that you may not have considered when you started planning. Stay open to changes and adjustments throughout the planning process.
Technical considerations
As you make technical decisions, you will likely be guided by three main factors: your goals, your budget, and the technical expertise available to you. The first factor will shape how you use the available technology, while the second and third factors will provide constraints to direct you toward the appropriate technical options for your organization.
You want to reach your intended audience, and it's important to consider accessibility so that the audience can fully benefit from your presenters' knowledge and experience. Make sure to be clear in your promotional materials and/or registration form that these options are available.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list, and you should consider additional practices such as those recommended in the Association of Research Libraries' Web Accessibility Toolkit. You should also consult with any organizations or offices available to you that may have more information or suggestions. We continue to learn new ways we can make our own webinars more accessible.
Planning timeline
This timeline is not comprehensive, and yours may vary. However, it should give you a rough sense of the important steps along the way, as well as the pacing of the planning process.
During the webinar
On the day of the webinar, our planning team and support crew set up in a "command center," which should be a quiet area with reliable internet access and space for several computer users (a conference room works well). Depending on your platform, format, and technical needs, your support crew may vary, but we have someone in each of the following roles.
Good luck!
A webinar can be a great (and cost-effective) way to reach a national audience and collaborate with partners around the country or across the world. With sufficient planning, good communication, and a clear sense of purpose, this can be an important addition to the services and educational tools you already provide. Make the most of it, and good luck!
Months of planning came together this past Tuesday with the National Forum's webinar on the subject of Holistic Support for Undocumented Students in a Rapidly Changing Policy Environment. The webinar was a collaboration between the National Forum and several cosponsor organizations: the National Center for Institutional Diversity, the Community College Consortium for Immigrant Education (CCCIE), and UC Berkeley's Undocumented Student Program (USP). We were fortunate to benefit from the knowledge and experience of Teresita Wisell from CCCIE, Maureen Fitzpatrick from City Colleges of Chicago, Ruben Canedo from USP, and current Berkeley senior Jesus Mendoza.
The presentations were fantastic, but I'm not going to spend much time talking about them because soon you'll be able to watch them for yourself on the uLEAD Network website—and if you want to learn about strategies for providing undocumented college students with the best support possible (as an individual, office, or institution), I highly recommend you do so.
Instead, I want to talk about the conversation that emerged among our listeners. When we started planning our webinars this fall, we debated whether to include a chat box our listeners could use. Would people use it? Would it distract from the presenters? Was there a better way to gather questions to ask our presenters during the Q&A?
Despite our concerns, it proved to be a perfect complement to the information provided by our presenters. The webinar drew listeners from diverse institutions across the country—the most common locations included California, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, New York, Washington, and Michigan. Having a way to communicate with other listeners allowed for a true conversation as people answered each other's questions, shared resources, and commented on how they've experienced the topics being discussed by the presenters. At many colleges, there may not be a formal support system for undocumented students, and staff at such colleges were able to compare notes with those working in different institutional environments. People could draw new ideas from work being done across the country, and they could connect with colleagues close to home—listeners from North Carolina even exchanged contact information to start a working group.
When we plan events, we pay attention to the big questions, and rightly so. But last week's webinar was a reminder that small changes in structure can have a significant effect. Including a chat box seemed like a very minor question. We wondered if it would be superfluous or distracting; in the end, it served to supplement and reinforce our presenters' knowledge and create a deeper experience. As we think about future events, we can look for ways to support similar connection, collaboration, and conversation.
Seeing my older sister attend Clark Atlanta University gave me an early impression of Minority Serving Institutions as higher education institutions dedicated to holistic formation for students of color. At CAU my stepsister developed as an athlete, experimented with different majors, grew as a leader, and explored other aspects of her identity, particularly gender. The strong foundation she built at CAU reverberates through her life now as a collegiate tennis coach and mentor for students. Her experiences at a Historically Black University expanded my early conceptions of what college meant, including academic, personal, and spiritual growth.
Those themes flowed through the presentations at the Minority Serving Institutions Symposium. Our opening presenters, Jeremiah Thompson and Dr. Jaime Chahin, highlighted how MSIs have a distinctive approach to the personal formation of students. Sharing his experiences attending predominantly White institutions, Mr. Thompson reminded us of the unwelcoming and racist messages Native American students still encounter. At Tribal Colleges, Native American students can engage a course of study in an environment dedicated to enriching their cultural knowledge and identity. The educational environments at MSIs, steeped in a cultural heritage and curiosity, encourage students of color to grew in their various identities. Faculty and campus administrators of color, uniquely positioned and motivated to promote student success, foster this process.
Dr. Chahin provided a fascinating case study of how intentional leadership transformed Texas Status University into a thriving Hispanic Serving Institution. Through incentives for faculty to create culturally aligned courses and promoting student voice to suggest new activities, Texas State grew into a culturally defined institution. I resonated with Dr. Chahin's description of the mission of HIS, particularly Texas State, to facilitate and encourage students in building a solid foundation to go forth to the workforce or graduate school with a firm sense of their identity.
Transforming institutions to truly serve students of color requires leadership to motivate actors at different levels to change curriculum, mission, and the environment. Many of the research papers highlighted the challenges of creating and maintaining MSIs. Access to resources, accreditation guidelines, and changes in enrollment at MSIs complicate the ability of institutional actors to enrich and maintain the mission of serving students of color. Our closing session with Dr. JoAnn Canales demonstrated how an intentional focus on holistic development and cultural heritage promoted student growth and success. The symposium provided an opportunity to build a community of research and practice around Minority Serving Institutions. These conversations should continue to investigate the ways MSIs foster cultural wealth at the organizational level and envision strategies to enrich and support these institutions.
"At the core of our work is a desire to make a difference in our society through impacting the way higher education responds to its role to serve the public good." - Betty Overton, Director for the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good
The National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good and the National Center for Institutional Diversity—both located at the University of Michigan—have agreed to a new level of partnership to include strategic collaboration, joint sponsorship of events and programs, and the development of funding proposals to support work shared between the two organizations. This partnership will largely focus on the areas of higher education access and success for immigrant and undocumented students, and leadership for diversity in higher education.
Since its founding in 2000, the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good has worked to demonstrate the ways in which higher education serves a greater public role. It has recently focused some of its work on higher education's responds to supporting underserved and minority groups, and the institutions that serve them. Led by its Director, Professor Betty Overton, the National Forum works to encourage people to frame college education as not only an access point for a career, but as a resource for the greater good of society.
Historically, the University of Michigan has distinguished itself as a pioneer in diversity. This commitment by the University to affirm the central value and undeniable importance of institutional diversity to the mission of all colleges and universities was the seed in creating the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID). Since its establishment in 2006, NCID has centered its priorities on offering empirical context for diversity efforts, linking diversity to measures of meaningful participation, and acknowledging the discourse that surrounds higher education and using it as a principal means through which diversity can be understood, interpreted, and advanced.
With the 2013 appointment of NCID's current Director, Professor John Burkhardt, the center has been successful in building partnerships across the UM campus and has started to establish a network of scholars in other institutions who are studying diversity issues. They have begun to decentralize the diversity agenda by engaging other schools and colleges, and promoting innovation across the university. The NCID strategic plan emphasizes leadership development, national partnerships, and communications, and acts as a mechanism used to reassert the importance of diversity in the mission of higher education. As such, the recent partnership with the National Forum is an essential stride in the journey to further the diversity narrative.
One of the first steps taken in advancing the shared work will be the expansion of the uLEAD network, a web based utility that provides up-to-date information about issues affecting undocumented students in higher education. The uLEAD network was established in 2012 through a grant from the Ford Foundation. In addition to the expansion of uLead, the National Forum and NCID staff will collaborate in supporting several leadership for diversity efforts, including programs with the American Council on Education, the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education, and the Kellogg Fellows Leadership Alliance.
This partnership will advance the realization of goals long held by each of the two groups. The National Forum will be providing support and technical assistance to NCID's work in leadership development, contributing research from its evaluation of related programming in minority serving institutions and building on institutional case studies. Together, the National Forum and NCID will work to support a communication effort geared toward higher education leaders who are pursuing commitments to diversity and inclusion.
As a part of the community engagement team I have had the fortunate opportunity to work closely with Marygrove College in helping them achieve their integrative urban leadership vision. Marygrove's goal is to develop urban leaders through the explicit integration of urban leadership principles in, among other things, their course curriculum. Though I have only been part of the project for a few months, the drive to create such major organizational change has been inspiring. The effort requires the participation and buy-in of the entire faculty and staff and a significant amount of time and resources. What intrigues me most about this endeavor is to see first-hand that major change like this is possible.
Though I am an advocate for developing leadership skills in college students, I automatically began thinking about how this model could realistically be applied to working towards social justice in predominantly white institutions (PWIs). In her talk during a Race and Social Justice Symposium last semester at the University of Michigan, Dr. Yolanda Moses, Special Assistant to the Chancellor for Excellence and Diversity at UC Riverside, spoke about dismantling systems of oppression in higher education. She gave several recommendations for how we can overcome institutional oppression at PWIs, including: structuring diversity as a core institutional value, allocating resources to support diversity initiatives and create programs to educate administrators to know their role in promoting diversity. While I was excited to hear practical recommendations for climate change at the post-secondary level, Dr. Moses' suggestions also seemed extremely daunting. Until I connected them to what Marygrove is doing.
What if PWIs integrated diversity and social justice principles, and made sure that all faculty members were trained to explicitly address and discuss them? What if they required all faculty members to explicitly state on their syllabus which diversity and social justice principles their class targeted and how students would embody those principles by the end of the course? What if they spent the time and resources that Marygrove has spent towards implementing these principles into the core institutional mission? We can continue to address campus inequity and climate issues with small band aids or we can tackle them at their core. I guess the real question is: When most PWIs talk about diversity and social justice, is this level of institutional change something that they truly desire or are the band aids a strategic response to not address the issue in its totality?
While looking back at my previous blog post that I wrote shortly after arriving at the National Forum, I realized how many new skills I have actually gained since starting in May. I will be graduating from the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education in December and I'm on my way out of the National Forum, as well, but I think it's important to reflect on these new skills. The following is a list of 3 new things I learned during my time at the National Forum as a member of the Finance & Stewardship team:
3. Creating agendas is vital – Things don't always go as planned if you don't have an agenda of what you think should be accomplished at the many meetings held at the National Forum.
2. Immerse yourself in the material – There is SO much going on at the National Forum that I've learned it's best to just jump in to a project. Find out as much information as you can and then get started wherever you think you can be the most useful.
1. Look ahead – Again, there is so much going on at the National Forum that it can be difficult to keep everything straight. Looking forward on the calendar can help you better prepare for the busier times during the semester and know how early to get started on that final report or that LOI.
My time at the National Forum has been a great growing experience for me and I hope others have the opportunity to learn as much as I have in the past 6 months.
Over the last few weeks, I have had the privilege of participating in a series of events that each highlighted, in their own way, the necessity of foregrounding a public good mission in American higher education.
On November 5-6, the Rackham Graduate School here at the University of Michigan hosted a compelling Summit on Diversity in Graduate Education. The event brought together leaders from institutions across the country. Participants considered the role of higher education as an enabling force in the promotion and creation of knowledge. As at the undergraduate level, graduate education must engage historically underrepresented groups of Americans in advanced fields of study. American society can never achieve its full potential when only portions of the population experience the benefits of higher education. Dr. Penny Pasque, Associate Professor of Adult and Higher Education at the University of Oklahoma and a visiting scholar at the National Forum this academic year, offered the challenging insight that policymakers, educators, and the general public must develop a recognition that the private benefits of higher wage prospects and improved economic conditions are not mutually exclusive from the public benefits of a more engaged and engaging citizenry.
Still reflecting on the Diversity Summit, I took off with my colleagues from the National Forum to attend the annual Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) conference in St. Louis, Mo. Whether discussing the challenges and opportunities of access to higher education for undocumented students, considering new research on ways in which flagship universities are seeking to recover revenues lost as a result of declining state support, or learning about the experiences of Latino males in advanced science programs, I could not—or perhaps refused to—shake the lens of advancing the public good through higher education. As a community, those of us committed to a new vision for higher education in the twenty-first century—a vision in which higher education serves to promote equity and social justice, rather than perpetuate the inequities of the past—must inform this vision with a determined commitment to the public good served by institutions of higher learning.
One of the great higher education visionaries, Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation, visited the University of Michigan on November 21. Through a series of presentations and workshops, Mr. Merisotis presented Lumina's commitment to enhancing attainment of high quality higher education credentials nationwide by 2025. As he pointed out, the foundation cannot only support efforts to boost attainment rates for the sake of putting more credentials in the hands of Americans in the coming decade. This work recognizes the promise of higher education not only to enable a better economic future, but to equip graduates with the experience of working with diverse sets of colleagues, social capital to advocate for positive change, and passion to build stronger communities. As Dr. Pasque stated at this month's Diversity Summit, "risks require patrons." I am grateful to know organizations such as the Lumina Foundation are at the forefront of broadening access to higher education in an effort to promote the public role the sector must serve to realize its own full potential.
I have come to realize that the National Forum on Higher Education for the Public Good is literally a forum. In the short time I have been here, it has become a physical place where I go to engage in rich conversations with professors, staff and my peers around the higher education issues that concern us the most. Through these dialogues, I have been exposed to many topics in higher education that I had never even thought of before such as challenges foster care youth face in accessing higher education. I have also had opportunities to participate in conversations at the national level.
Through the National Forum. I had the opportunity to attend my first national higher education conference in my hometown Chicago, the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU). After delving into the histories, challenges and strengths of Minority Serving Institutions through a class I am taking it was beneficial to meet individuals from Hispanic Serving Institutions from across the nation and hear about the great work they are doing. The University of Michigan was recognized for being a strong associate of HACU and for its work with college access for undocumented students. A team from the National Forum presented on uLEAD, an online tool created at the Forum to encourage collaboration and problem solving for university leaders committed to educational access and diversity.
Most recently, I was able to engage in conversation with individuals from UC Berkeley and Texas State University on their efforts to provide support to undocumented and Latino students on their campuses. Being new to the field of higher education, I would have never guessed that so many initiatives are taking place to make higher education accessible to all students. I am excited to be a part of a team that is working towards the same goals.
At our first pre-screening of the film, The Graduates, the panelists talked about their experience with mentorship and how it has affected their lives. Listening to the conversation has led me to reflect on my life and experiences and the role that mentorship has played in all of it. As a Latina and first generation college graduate who has been working at the Forum for the past year, I cannot express enough how grateful I am for all of the hands-on experience granted to me on this journey. I have learned just how valuable and important mentorship really is.
Growing up, I lived in a community that often lacked the necessary resources to gain a quality education and to live comfortably with a single mother and five siblings. My determination, work ethic, and will power are all great contributors to my success, but I truly would not be where I am today without the people who guided me and continue to motivate me along the way. My middle school teachers, my three moms, my counselors, my peers, and my co-workers are my mentors. They have helped mold my being and their diverse support has helped me accomplish many of my goals.
I matured at a very young age and had a complicated, disturbing episode in life during my teenage years. While I worked hard to make the best of my situation, my middle school teachers reminded me all the time of how smart I am. They would always say I had a big heart and great potential. My moms taught me how to be a young professional. They pushed me to reach my full potential and by doing so, I attended the number one public high school in Detroit which is Cass Technical High School. They encouraged me to get involved in my community and to find ways to become a well-rounded person. My counselors helped me cope with my anger and sadness. They also helped me understand that everything happens for a reason. My peers have been by my side through the good and bad times. They have opened their arms to comfort me and their families have made me a family member too. My sorority sisters have taught me all about community service, academic excellence, professionalism, event planning, and leadership. My co-workers, especially those at the National Forum have heavily educated me more about my interests in social work and higher education. Here, I have been given the opportunity to put into action the knowledge and skills I gained during my time as an undergraduate student. In a matter of two months, I have been able to combine my bachelor degrees with my passions and serve underrepresented and under served communities.
With that said, I want to put emphasis on the importance of all youth having mentors, positive role models, and strong foundations in their lives to be able to succeed like we expect them to. I am especially passionate about helping at-risk youth and their families with getting the resources they need to self-improve and I also believe that we, outside of their homes, are responsible for their success as well. So, how can we help?
We need to be aware that we do not have to take drastic measures to contribute to the well-being of others. We can help by simply doing our jobs right all of the time and for the good of all people. We can help by being positive and influential family members. We can help by being mentors.
I am practicing this belief in my professional and personal life on a daily basis. I am thanking my mentors by passing on the knowledge they gave me. Professionally, I am teaching my peers who are still undergraduate students how to improve their writing, public speaking, and event planning skills. I guide my sorority sisters to learn about and practice professionalism. Personally, I have created a path to higher education and success for my siblings, nieces and nephews. I mentor young girls by helping them stay focused in school and improve their self-confidence and self-respect.
In reflecting on mentorship and the pre-screenings of The Graduates, I have begun to plan the next steps to further and positively influence my community. Making time to do what I love has allowed me to not think of participating in mentorship as a responsibility. It is a blessing and a privilege to be able to be mentored and to mentor others on the path to greatness.
In my year of serving on the Finance and Stewardship team of the National Forum, I have learned much about the strategy and collaboration that goes into each letter of intent or proposal prepared by our project teams. While I am certainly not an expert in grant writing now, I think that many of the lessons I have learned may be valuable for project teams working on creating an application.
The Mundane – As unexciting as it may sound, one of the most important parts of applying for a grant is knowing when the deadlines are and creating a work schedule that will allow your team to complete an application on time. Having more eyes review a proposal is only helpful if you have enough time to allow multiple reviewers. Therefore, it is important to schedule backward from a deadline to make sure everyone has enough time to review an application before it needs to be submitted.
The Team – A creative team is key to success. While one person might have the first idea for a proposal, running the idea past a team will make it stronger in the long run. When the team has come into agreement around an idea, having one person write a first draft to be reviewed by the rest of the team can set up a terrific proposal.
The Secrets – Who you know and what information you find matter. Every time a member of your team goes to an event or conference, he or she should be "friend raising," connecting with others at the event that have the potential to be project funders or partners in the future. These people may be able to share secrets about the funding process or provide insight into the direction a funder might take in the future.
Speaking of insight about a funder's priorities…Where you get your information about a funding opportunity matters. A funder's website is always a good place to start, but making connections with a program officer at a foundation proves to be even more helpful. If you cannot personally connect with a program officer, checking in the news to see where they have been speaking lately and what they have been speaking about can help you further your understanding of a funder's priorities. Sometimes you can find Youtube videos of these speeches, which will allow you to hear where the program officer envisions the foundations future work going.
Bringing all of these strategies together has allowed me to provide support for our project teams this past year. As I move into my second year working with the Finance and Stewardship team, I look forward to seeing what new strategies I will learn.

It's amazing how the process of answering simple questions can help you uncover so much complexity. It's rather like a child lifting a large stone to reveal all kinds of creep crawly things that they never knew existed.

DEFINITION of 'Regulated Market'
A medium for the exchange of goods or services over which a government body exerts a level of control. This control may require market participants to comply with environmental standards, product-safety specifications, information disclosure requirements and so on.
The market for both prescription and over-the-counter drugs is an example of a regulated market. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a federal government body, tightly controls what drugs may be sold on the market, how they may be advertised, for what conditions they may be prescribed and more.

Hi everyone this is my first time posting. I have to vent to other expecting moms in hopes that someone out there has or is going through what I am and had positive outcomes. I am currently 17 weeks and of course I had my quad blood test done and I found out late last week that it came back abnormal. Even though the doc assured me that it doesn't necessarily mean that the baby has Down syndrome or any other complication but there is an increased risk according to my blood work. I'm sick with worry and I feel like I'm going to pass out. I don't go see the specialist until next week but this waiting is killing me. Has anyone had any positive results after being told about an abnormal test? Please help!!

Happened to me too. We were sooooo scared! But after an ultrasound and more blood work (10 days later) we found out baby was ok! I told at least 5 of my friends and EACH one said they knew someone that this has happened to. False positives are VERY common! My blood work showed i had a 1/34 chance and although that # is scary, it is still just 2.9%.So....although (of course) I can't tell u everything will be ok......the odds are strongly in your favor! Good luck!

I had a bad test result too. It was high for trisomony 18 but after further blood tests it came back with no chromosomal issues. Just believe that your baby will beat the odds and try to stay positive, I know easier said then done. Good luck and God bless you and that baby.
Posted 02/16/2013
The only test that is really accurate is amniocentesis. I would not want to go through that - rather trust your body to tell you that things are ok.
Posted 02/16/2013
I'm going through this right now too...I have had 2 positive screening showing increased risk for neural tube defects (spinal bifida). I have an ultrasound this Thursday so praying they say baby looks fine! Dr said there is 94-98% chance that baby is fine so the odds are really good but still hard not to worry! :( It's devastating to hear there is chance something may be wrong with your little one. Try to stay positive mama!

I had the same problem. They did an extensive anatomy scan and found out the baby was perfectly healthily and she was! I'm sure everything will be fine but remember the crazy worrying your doing doesn't help the little one in you're belly. He/she senses that and it could upset them.

Try not to worry.. My cousin and his wife showed a 1 in 12 chance of downs, but they had a perfectly healthy baby boy who is now 2 mos old.

I'm going through the same thing right now. Got an abnormal result last week also and yesterday saw a genetic counsellor. I'm going Tuesday for a targeted ultrasound and amniocentesis. Praying for healthy results.
Posted 02/16/2013
Ask your doctor if they can do the maternit21 test. It tests for chromosome issues like Down syndrome and is pretty accurate. I had worse odds. A 1 in 5 chance of having something wrong based on my daughters Nuchal fold. They would not even do blood work they odds were just too high. I ended up getting a cvs done bc at the time the maternit21 test was not available. For me it was the right decision. I could not have lived with the unknown. But how they have the maternit21 test which is just a draw of the mothers blood. It doesn't tell you all the chromosomes just a key three. Two of which I believe are pretty fatal...?
But stay positive and remember that even a 1 in 5 chance means 80%chance everything is JUST fine.

Miele vs Wolf Steam Oven
I am trying to make a final decision between the Convection Steam Ovens by Miele and Wolf (current models during the Fall of 2013). That is, the Miele DGC 4084/4086 XL and the Wolf CSO24.
I'd love to hear the pros and cons from informed people who have used these one of these units.
I visited showrooms and inspected both units. Though, I have not had an opportunity to see them in operation; not to mention having never used them myself.
Thank you!
I have the Wolf CS024 and LOVE it so far. We moved in 2 days before Thanksgiving and had family in for the weekend. I didn't use it for prep Thursday but did for reheating on Friday and the weekend. Then Christmas Eve I forgot to take the tamales out of the freezer so microwaved them just long enough to be able to break them apart them steamed them for 24 minutes. Perfect!
I did look at the Wolf, Miele and Gagg (I think) and from what I remember (it was almost a year ago that I decided on appliances) I went with Wolf because of the size and on the recommendation of the appliance guy.
As others have said before the manual leaves alot to be desired but we've played around with it and are slowly figuring it out. Here are a few pros/cons I've come up with the last few weeks:
Pro: interior size - holds more than I originally thought it would
Con: I need more recipes and directions - but if you're a better cook this might not apply....... I'm not that great and now that I haven't cooked for a year during all of this I'm really not that great!
Con: can't quite figure out how to do a baked potato. Still working on it
Pro: a so far a huge PRO - being able to reheat without drying everything out. Leftover turkey and ham was just slightly better the first day. reheats things beautifully.
I can't wait to try bread, fish and vegetables!
Good luck and in my opinion I don't think you could go wrong with either one really.
We have the Wolf installed since this past June. We love it! We agree we wish there were more cooking instructions/recipes available, however we are learning on our own. Bread, vegetables, fish, roasts, ribs and reheating have been great. We highly recommend. Why did we choose Wolf? At the time we purchased they were having a great sale. However, we compared it to the Thermador and Gagg (no Miele at that time). The Wolf had the biggest oven space, the water tank can be refilled outside the oven (not so in the Therador) and is a lot less expensive than the Gagg. We also did not like the side door opening for the Gagg. We really can't comment on Wolf vs. Miele except to say we are VERY happy with our Wolf.
I'm not sure about the straight steam oven, but the new Miele combo relocated the water reservoir to the top (like the Wolf) to give more interior room. The combo also has a broiler element, which Wolf doesn't offer.
The Master Chef controls supposedly take some of the guess work out.
I'm thinking about getting the Miele for an upcoming remodel, along with their 30" convection oven.
Mine is also not yet installed, but I also went with the Miele. The broiler sealed the deal. I attended a lunch demo at a Miele showroom and could not believe how terrific it was. They even prepared a tri tip in the steam oven, using steam, convection and broil and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy and pink inside and with a beautifully browned crust on the outside. But like others have said, I don't think you can go wrong with any of your choices,
Thanks everybody! All of the commentary is helpful to me and likely many other people. :)
I must admit, after being "sold" (pre-sale, that is) on the Wolf combi steam oven, I am slowly leaning harder toward the Miele. The primary factors swaying me are the top broiler and the automated cooking programs.
I need to revisit the Wolf web site to make sure I am not missing something in the realm of cooking programs. Does Wolf have a set of automated cooking programs similar to the Miele?
Thanks again, everyone! :)
After reading the installation and user guides of both products, I see Wolf does, indeed, have advanced automation modes, some of which seem like they're straight from the future. Like detecting what's inside and how much and then cooking it! That's crazy cool! (if it works).
The Wolf unit seems also to be of more substantial construction with resulting heft. Apparently, it is a beast compared to the lighter Miele; based on my interpretation of the docs; the shelf support requirements are nearly double compared to the Miele (100lb vs approx 50lb)
In general, I like the Wolf installation documents better. I wonder if that's a useful indicator for how much thought went into the product? Well, for that matter, in general, I think the Wolf documents present information better.
I'm still working my way through both user's guides which for Miele is split into an "Operating Instructions" guide and a "User Instructions guide. I kid you not. :)
Perhaps Wolf can accomplish same cooking outcomes as Miele without the exposed broiler element?
Is the broiler on the Miele used in modes other than broiling?
I wonder if I will miss broiling on the Miele if I go with the Wolf?
I'm looking forward to getting one installed! It would be fun to get both and evaluate side by side, but I may need advertiser's support for that! lol. :)
I am looking at the Wolf convection/steam. There will be a 30" coming out in April, and I think I will get it. The specs aren't on Wolf's site yet and my dealer can give me nothing right now other than the price ($4209) and the estimated delivery, but he will keep checking until he gets the inside dimensions, which is my main concern (other than the price!). I liked that the water canister can be filled from the front. Much better than pulling a hot canister out from the oven to refill like some other models.
Are you guys sure about the Wolf not having Broil? I thought I saw it as a mode option in their brochure.
Also, do any of the steam ovens use convection and steam at the same time. I think I remember a Wolf demo that steamed first then did convection. THey said you can't do them at the same time.
Their web manual for the convection/steam does not show a broiling option, but it does show a convection steam mode, so it sounds to me like they would be at the same time. They are totally revamping their line, so I am looking forward to seeing if the new model is any different. A broiler isn't important to me as I seldom broil and have a regular oven for that. I do bake a lot of bread and my brand new (1 month) Viking induction range's porcelain liner is already cracked from spilling water on the bottom when adding it to a steam tray, so I am looking forward to a real steam oven (and the Viking's repair).
Most, if not all, of the combi's do steam and convection at the same time - though they may have a different term for it. It is one of the main benefits of the combi - since heat plus steam can very quickly cook some foods - like a turkey or chicken. Many also have the option to turn off the steam part way through the cooking cycle, which is common for bread.
I have the Wolf CS024 and it does not have a broiler I can confirm that, have had it for over a year now.
As for it doing steam and convection at the same time, it kind of does, but not really. From what I can tell it does the steam first, with heat on, and once the steam is done it kicks the convection fan back on. But I could be wrong on that, and on different modes it might act differently. I will admit I have not used all of the modes on this oven yet.
I'm jumping into this thread because we are having the same debate right now -- Miele vs Wolf steam oven. Leaning towards Miele based on the broiler aspect, but like the larger size and looks of the Wolf. Anyone else have updated thoughts on which unit is better? Are they getting updated soon?
We are also debating our options. Here are my thoughts thus far:
Re Miele: I'm not convinced a broiler in an oven that tops out at 445 (I think the broiler goes to 475) would be that useful. I like that there is a cartridge for used water/steam (none in wolf). I'm not sure I like the racks - they seem loud and there are only 3. I'm also unsure about the interface - it seems fussy. I need to double check this but it seems there are 5 buttons to program to get it going (1. on/off 2. type of cooking 3. amt of steam 4. temperature 5. time.) I don't see why an extra on/off button is needed and why do I have to decide how long to cook something ahead of time? It makes me feel micromanaged. ;) Per Yale Appliance, Miele has the lowest rate of repairs of cooking appliances.
Re: Wolf: I like that there are 4 racks but I can't imagine this would make a material difference in my cooking. I like the interface better (since it's how we interact with the appliance this is not a small thing). I don't like that I'd have to sop up water after I cook with steam. All things being equal it's kind of hard to turn down the broiler on the Miele, especially since my range will not have one.
Re Gagg: beautiful and small. I'm not sure the size would be a problem, but the very large price tag is a problem, on principal alone, particularly for a technology (steam) that we have never used and don't know how much we will like. I haven't come across a discounted one yet that would work but we would consider a floor model if we found one.
So, we're still undecided. I'm attending a Miele steam class so maybe they can show me how the interface is not fussy. I believe Miele recently came out with the combi-steam oven so doubt they'll change it soon. Wolf is coming out with some new updates in the coming months but I'm not sure if their steam oven is one of the products they are updating since it is not all that old either.
Not sure if it matters but I think another apparent difference is that the Wolf has a thermometer probe, but the Miele does not. I think the Wolf will stop cooking once the thermometer probe placed in the cooking item has achieved the programmed temperature. Kind of neat. Not sure how much I'd use it.
Christy, I love using the temp probe on my Wolf CSO, it is a great feature and I use it all the time, especially with Chicken, it really helps it stay super moist since I don't overcook it.
You just set the cooking temp for the oven space, say 350F and then also set the probe temp, for chicken I do 160F. Then when it shuts down the residual heat will bring the chicken temp up to 165F on its own, perfect every time!
I have used it on a roast as well, again it just gets everything to the temp of the probe and then as you said it turns off the unit. But keep in mind there is always going to be the residual heat and things will keep cooking inside the unit for a good while after, not like you could leave it in there for 30 minutes and not expect it to keep going is all I am saying.
I am interesting in knowing how well the Wolf unit browns meat or fish?
I believe Miele is releasing their unit with a thermometer probe this summer. I attended a Miele steam class and concluded that the probe is critical if you like your meat cooked to temps that vary from USDA guidelines, which I think are programmed into the Master Chef modes. I do not think you can reprogram the temp settings for the those modes.
I am primarily interested in Miele for the broil feature, but would only buy it with the probe, and luckily we have a lot of time to decide.
I found a steam convection cookbooks from both Miele and Viking on the web and printed them at Kinko's. Not super inspirational - sort of remind me of crockpot cookbooks.
But I have been to a class for each the Miele and Wolf, and I am convinced that once you learn how to cook to your own preference, it is a great tool.
I'm not sure how well the Wolf browns, but I think the new Miele will have a wireless thermometer probe which would be great since that means not having to deal with a hot wire when taking food out of the oven. I believe Wolf's is wired but am not sure.
The other difference I've come across is that the Miele, in addition to a broiler, has a static non-convection electric oven. I don't think the Wolf has this feature. While I don't like the interface of the Miele as well (though the new model is supposed to have a different interface), I think the broiler and wireless thermometer give it a competitive advantage over the Wolf. It's also currently ~$400 cheaper than the Wolf.
On the Wolf website they are showing a 'new product' with their 24" transitional steam combi oven but I can't tell how this is different from the 2013 model. It doesn't look like they've added a broiler, which is too bad. Does anyone know how this new model differs from the one released last year?
The Wolf is wired on the inside of the unit, no big deal just use a pot holder to unplug it.
As for a broiler, not really something I do a lot of any ways, maybe once a year, maybe twice, if that. So for us it wasn't something we needed.
The Wolf CSO24 browns meat just like any other oven would. There is nothing all that different about this oven compared to a standard wall oven when it comes to how it cooks meats in terms of browning. The steam is a great feature but it can be turned off totally.
The Wolf does NOT have a non-convection mode, but to me that isn't a problem, as we still have the full size Wolf L-series for that if we need it.
I think that you can't go wrong with either brand, it will come down to what appeals to you most, but I think both are well respected brands and you will enjoy either option.
We bought a loft in downtown Tampa and immediately gutted it.
We had decided on an oven cabinet that would hold the Miele Speed, Combi Steam, and Coffee maker. Made the âÂÂcriticalâ mistake of not fully understanding what 240v means and in our condo we only have 208v power. Without going the boost transformer route we switched to the Wolf Steam so unfortunately the ovens will not match the Miele but we do have a Wolf cook-top so we are okay with having different ovens. When we shopped we liked the Wolf as well because they only had the microwave drawers and we wanted a 2nd convection oven (the 2 - 24â ovens are all we are having in our kitchen, no full-size oven) we went with Miele.
FWIW ��" Miele is being great and are taking back their Steam oven with no hassles what so ever. The Wolf gets installed today with the cook-top and the Miele next week.
Great information, everyone! I think I am sold on the idea of the new Miele combi-steam with a temp probe. Any idea on when that is expected and what the model number will be? Our projected completion date is end of July. But I could wait a bit for the right oven.
I was at an appliance store shopping for our new kitchen and a Miele representative happened to be in the store. I asked him about the new ovens and the rumored range coming out. He said the ovens would be released in the USA July 1st and the range (which will be available in a variety of sizes up to 48 inches and will have a pro look with knobs etc) will be available during Q4.
I am also somewhat between the Miele and Wolf Steam ovens. I believe that the Wolf is made by a company called V-Zug which is a Swiss company that makes high end appliances. I have tried to search for reviews comparing the Miele and V Zug oven but have not found anything,
Here is a link that might be useful: V Zug steam oven
Cool, thanks! I've been on miele.ca and all the instruction manuals indicate that they're for both the US and Canada. My only do-over is that the wall oven wants a water line but luckily cabinets aren't in yet and I can just run the line quickly and easily to add a stub out this weekend.
You may want to plan accordingly; even though the combi-steam ovens don't need a water line yet I'm sure they will in a year or two.
That the instruction manual says it's for both USA and Canada on the .ca website is a great find! Thanks for sharing. Looks like indeed there is a food probe although it's not wireless.
I've also heard July as the release date for the new combi steam oven.
Does anyone know what the last Miele combi steam oven was priced at in Canada? The Canada pricing looks very high compared to the $3500 the current model retails for in the US.
$6,000 Canadian = about $5,500 US.
I consistently hear about how appliances are more expensive in Canada so I'm curious about the answer to your question too. The conversion rate is Gaggenau pricing and I doubt they'll go that high; I've assumed it would be under $1,000 more than the existing Combi-Steam + 30" wall oven goes for. If the pricing does in fact end up that high, the dimensions are almost identical to the Gaggenau...
It's odd that the combi-steam oven has a wired probe but the wall oven has a wireless one.
FWIW - We had to go with the Wolf Combi Steam over the Miele due to our condo only having 208v. She still went with the Miele Speed oven sitting over the Wolf despite the miss-match of appliances. Even though my wife liked the over-all styling better of the Miele, she enjoys using the Wolf better. Thinks the menu is more straight forward and her first choice when she needs a convection oven.
I just put in our custom cabinet order based on a Miele 4086 combi-steam. If the new series comes out in time, we are going for that (I think), but I'm so indecisive lately that we might end up with the Wolf in the end. Hopefully these are all close enough in size that it won't take much adjustment to the cabinets.
I think I liked Master Chef on Miele better than the Wolf menus. But I liked the water door operation on the Wolf better than the Miele (raising the entire panel seemed more "wonky" and a less secure fit).
I was looking at the specs for the wolf steam oven today with a salesman at an appliance store, and I believe the 24" and 30" ovens have the same interior dimensions...only exterior differences due to stacking them on top or below other wall ovens for size... FYI
It is true that the 24" and 30" Wolf steam ovens have the same interior dimensions. The 30" will not need a trim kit to fit in with the conventional ovens, the 24" will need one. This makes the overall cost of the two sizes about the same when the trim kit is factored in. We got the 30" to go with the 30" E-series single wall oven.
We don't actually have them installed yet - will be about 2 more weeks as we finish our remodel. I can hardly wait until they are in, especially since we attended one of the Wolf cooking demos that showed us more about how to use it! I will write a review here when I've used it for a few weeks though. GW has been invaluable as we've gone through the reno process.
I owned a Meile double oven for 17 years. I never had one problem with it. It was very European looking, I think they've changed that. If money was no issue, I'd buy another in a heart beat! By the way, once I had a repairman there working on my sub- zero, I had him look at the oven while he was there. After 12 years, everything was working perfect. I couldn't believe it checked out with flying colors,

Olmec Chocolates differentiate themselves by showcasing their raw, organic aesthetic. The box itself is made of 100% recyclable material. The chocolates are stacked on top one another and separated by a single strip of wax paper, eliminating the usual plastic mould and individual wax paper cups. The name of each chocolate is printed on the inside the box and coincides with the chocolate itself, as apposed to a more traditional legend that is typically printed on a separate piece of paper. The belly band is also made of recyclable material, and is held together by a wax seal."

Marou x Wallpaper*
August 20, 2012 | 1 Comment
Designed by Rice Creative | Country: Vietnam
"When Wallpaper* Magazine discovered Marou Chocolate, our client, they felt that this singular dark chocolate, hand-crafted in Saigon using purely local ingredients was a perfect match for their third annual Handmade issue (an issue with a focus on unique products combining luxury, craft and inspiration). Marou offered to create a special edition Wallpaper* chocolate bar in time for exhibiting at the 2012 Salone de Mobile in Milan. The packaging we designed for this occasion would stay true to the inspiration behind the standard Marou chocolate bars and press further the attention given to lovingly hand printed details. We strayed some from the traditional motifs of the standard bars to embrace a more modernist approach while incorporating the well known Wallpaper* asterisk mark. It began by creating a new background pattern, which moved away from the traditional lattice and organic elements, replacing them by geometric elements forming an extension of the Wallpaper* asterisk.
The same hand mixed inks and screen-printing methods used on the standard Marou packs were employed, but a new palette of hues would be used, derived from the Wallpaper* handmade seal. The seal even informed a limited edition version of Marou's Monogram for this occasion. The final touch of hand embossing some of the pack's design elements set the stage for a fully considered hand crafted piece."

"The aim of this project was to design a packaging for take away. Nowadays there are infinite types of fast foods which offer take away, that's why we chose to narrow it down to a special sector of the market. We chose to focus on lactose intolerance, offering take away dairy-free breakfasts! At Müd we offer cupcakes, donuts, cookies and loaf cakes which you can combine with coffee, tea or hot chocolate and everything is without lactose!Feel free to add any type of dairy-free milk that you want such as almond, rice, oat, etc.We offer two different packagings, one for the combination of coffee and cookie/loaf cake and a bigger one of coffee and muffin/donut.Everything comes with two different kind of stickers, both applied on the sides of the packagings, ones with what there's inside of the packaging and the other ones with emotional sentences about your mood. Finally we wanted to create a brand specialized in dairy-free products but with a modern graphic style which could easily reach to a bigger target."

The distance a scanner is able to receive varies based on the type of scanner, the location of the radio, and many other factors. A portable scanner inside a home may only receive 10 miles or so. A base station scanner with a back-of the-set antenna slightly more. A scanner connected to an outdoor antenna often will receive double or triple these ranges. If you have a portable scanner inside a car, the metal roof of the car will attenuate the signal you're trying to receive. A mobile scanner
antenna mounted outside of the car with a magnetic or other type of mount will significantly increase the distance you can hear and the clarity of most stations.
The distance a scanner will receive depends on many factors including your elevation; the frequency, elevation, transmitter power, and tower height of the transmitting station; the terrain and buildings in your area; whether cellular, paging and other transmitters in your area; whether the system you're monitoring is a wide-area network, and more. Every area and every situation differs. Go to scannermaster.com for antennas, pre-amplifiers and other hardware that will help you increase the
range you are able to receive.
Virginia is in the process of building a VHF high-band digital trunking radio system known as STARS (Statewide Agencies Radio System). The system is being used by the Virginia State Police in wide swaths of the state as well as by Corrections, Fish & Game, Emergency Management and others. However the older State Police system is still being used in some areas. This is a conventional high-band radio system. A digital scanner is the best choice for Virginia state agencies as it will work on
the new and the older legacy systems.
Roanoke City, Virginia uses an analog trunking system along with conventional analog police and fire radio communications systems. A trunking police scanner will work in Roanoke City, including all trunking models. The best City of Roanoke, Virginia police and fire scanner is a trunking model.
