As part of Detroit's efforts to dig itself out of debt, the city may opt to increase parking fines. It currently spends $32 to issue and process $30 parking violations.
Detroit's restructuring consultants have proposed a two-tiered structure of $45 and $150 fines instead of the $20, $30 and $100 system it has now, The Detroit News reported.
"It's another example of the old, antiquated system and processes the city has that creates impediments for anyone trying to do their job," said Bill Nowling, the spokesman for Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr.
Mr. Orr is also waiting for finished analysis of Detroit's Municipal Parking department, which The Detroit News said "generally breaks even or fails to bring in enough revenue to cover its expenses."
No matter what the city decides on rates, it will still have other challenges to work through. Mr. Nowling told Detroit News that half of the city's 3,400 parking meters do not work at any given time, and Detroit Chief Operating Officer Gary Brown said that the city doesn't even know how much is owed in unpaid tickets.
Regardless, Mr. Brown believes that if the rates are increased it will translate into $6 million per year for Detroit.
"That's real money," he told The Detroit News. "If the asset is truly an asset and making money, no one is going to want to [alter Mr. Orr's bankruptcy proposals]."

Couples in Architecture.
According to the Austrian study "Berufsfeld 1.0" – a national survey of Austrian Architects - for 31% of architects their partner is also an architect. Maybe because architects rarely socialize outside their scene? Surely, people meet at work and school / university – that's not unusual. A partner in the same professional field is maybe more appreciative of job-related troubles, like unsocial working hours combined with an often low salary.
When architects set up their own business, they increasingly start husband-and-wife collaborations – like partners in other architectural practices. Hopefully these couples have areas of life that aren't related to architecture.

Sorgho exit ramps to close
As part of ongoing concrete rehabilitation work along the Audubon Parkway in Daviess County, a contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close eastbound ramp closures at the Sorgho/Kentucky 1554 exit for several hours Friday.
The eastbound exit and entry ramps will be closed between approximately 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday to allow sealing of joints along the ramp merge points. Each ramp is expected to take approximately two hours to complete.
Other work continues along the Audubon Parkway with one-lane traffic in each direction between the Green River bridge and the U.S. 60 interchange at Owensboro.

Often derided as a location for spiriting away unwanted tracks the humble b-side has thrown up numerous classics over the years. Inevitably there have been plenty of Christmas singles with more illustrious matter on their flipside and so what follows is a veritable packed sleigh full of songs that have become festive standards in their own right...
Christmas music gets such bad press and unfairly so given that most people have only dipped their toes into about 1% of what is available. So in an attempt to redress the balance here is a list of 10 Christmas songs that you probably have never heard before but will soon be occupying your annual playlist of cherished favourites.
For many people, the biggest day of December begins the morning after Santa pops down the chimney. But, for an array of pop stars, Facebook campaigners, charity singles and chart watchers, attention is focused on another day - the day the Christmas Number One is confirmed. The race for the Christmas Number 1 is as festive as turkey and mulled wine. And this year, with the big day falling on December 22 (and BBC Radio 1's counting down the Top 40 from 4-7pm), it is likely to be as spicy a race as we have seen for some time.
My friend from Brazil tells me that much as he loves our traditional seasonal music, he feels it's always sad too. I think he has a point. Even in more recent Christmas songs there's a pang, isn't there? Note how it's always Cold Outside, the weather outside is frightful, and yet...if you really love me so... well then... the boys of the NYPD choir will still sing Galway Bay.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Reminds Investors Of Class Action Against Herbalife Ltd. And Its Board Of Directors And A Lead Plaintiff Deadline Of June 13, 2014 -- HLF
NEW YORK, May 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of investors who purchased Herbalife Ltd.

For more information, click here: http://zlk.9nl.com/herbalife-hlf .
The complaint alleges that Herbalife made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts including: (a) that Herbalife's operations were based on a pyramid scheme whereby its distributors generated revenue by recruiting other distributors, rather than by sale of Herbalife's diet and nutritional products to the general public; (b) that the Company engaged in deceptive trade practices wherein it pressured members to purchase more products to resell as one of its "distributors;" and that (c) as a result of the aforementioned, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
If you suffered a loss in Herbalife you have until June 13, 2014 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. either via email at email@example.com or by telephone at (212) 363-7500, toll-free: (877) 363-5972, or visit http://zlk.9nl.com/herbalife-hlf .Levi & Korsinsky is a national firm with offices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington D.C.

The Which Major U.S. City Are You? Test
Their result for The Which Major U.S. City Are You? Test ...
You scored 60% Style, 39% Climate, and 49% Culture!
Alright, I'm biased. I practically live in DC, and I think it's a great city. You got DC because you love city life, you're stylish, and you appreciate culture and diversity. You don't mind crowds, in fact, you probably really like to people-watch. And I stuck you in a good place to do it. You like to go out and have fun and soak up the culture, whether it's to take in an artsy film, see a play, or even go shopping. I'm not too sure if you're a history geek or not, so if you don't like it, at least you can just look at the pretty monuments and take pictures. You probably have a very nice personality because you're accepting and more on the liberal side, and you know how to make a good impression. Well done.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 60% on Style, higher than 92% of your peers.
They scored 39% on Climate, higher than 52% of your peers.
They scored 49% on Culture, higher than 40% of your peers.

Originally published Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at 5:15 AM
NW books | Four books for kids ages 1-14
Kids' books of Seattle-area interest: "Finding Bigfoot" by Martha Brockenbrough, "Where Is Baby?" by Kathryn O. Galbraith, "The Thunderbolt Express" by Matthew Porter and "The Silver Moon" by Jack Prelutsky.
New releases
"Finding Bigfoot: Everything You Need to Know" by Martha Brockenbrough (Feiwel and Friends, $19.99). For ages 10-14: Washington is the top state for sasquatch sightings (13 percent of all sightings occur in our forests) so young readers will be able to use tips from Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" team. Brockenbrough, a Seattle author, covers everything from hoaxes to evolution and what Bigfoot eats.
"Where Is Baby?" by Kathryn O. Galbraith and illustrated by John Butler (Peachtree, $16.95). For ages 2-4: A simple sentence on each set of double pages highlights the ways baby animals hide, from rabbits that "freeze in the tall meadow grass" to leopards that "scramble up high in the trees." Three pages at the end give more information about the wild creatures, including what each type of baby is called. The expressive paintings will leave readers wanting to cuddle them all. Galbraith lives in Tacoma.
"The Thunderbolt Express" by Matthew Porter (Sasquatch, $17.99). For ages 3-6: A group of monkeys — including Oscar the magician and Mono the inventor — have a hair-raising train ride when a bridge goes missing and the brake lever breaks. All ends well, however, when the train sails over the crocodile-filled river (the monkeys have to toss all their belongings to make it lighter), and everyone agrees "a few bits of luggage is nothing to pay for the thrill of a ride on the Thunderbolt Express." Porter lives in Seattle.
"The Silver Moon: Lullabies and Cradle Songs" by Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by Jui Ishida (Greenwillow, $17.99). For ages 1-3: The Seattle-area author, a former Children's Poet Laureate, switches his usual humorous approach for these quieter poems, all about sleep. Several melodies come with musical notations.

Encryption Security - a necessity or requirement?
updated Nov 20, 2008 11:15 am | 2,724 views
Various statistics and surveys show that encryption is becoming a more and more important security feature in today's world. An annual survey of Ernst & Young in 1996 showed that 26% of all surveyed information security managers used file encryption, 17% telecommunications encryption, and 6% public-key cryptography. In the same year, Trusted Information Systems of Glenwood, Maryland listed 1393 encryption products created and distributed by 862 companies in at least 68 countries. About 60% were from the US. The rest were produced in 28 other countries.
Although the encryption market appears to be growing and many companies are using encryption as part of their security system, there are many issues corporations need to consider before using and implementing encryption systems. This analysis will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of encryption as a corporate security solution and the challenges corporations face when dealing with encryption implementation and security regulations.
Encryption in the most cases is used to send sensitive or confidential electronic data to another system or location (47%). Only 31% of surveyed companies encrypt data on a computer storage device and only 24 percent use encryption for backup files or tapes when sending them to offsite locations or archives. The reason for this is, according to Jeff Montgomery, that although the encryption market is flooded with many solid encryption solutions, they address encryption only at certain points. These products might help encrypting data in files or during transfer but not within database structures, such as files that are located within a database. Solutions that can handle both are very demanding in, not only technical but also implementation, maintenance, resources and price.
The primary reason why companies hesitate to implement encryption solutions is the concern about system performance (69 percent) followed by complexity (44 percent) and cost (25 percent). Not only is that a valid argument but many companies are concerned about data loss during or after encryption has been implemented. If the implementation or the encryption is not properly planned and realized, the data integrity might be jeopardized, which might cause not only data but also great financial losses.
One of the main aspects corporations have to analyze when considering an enterprise wide encryption implementation are the surrounding business issues. These include the cost and technical support for implementation and maintenance. Data encryption in today's enterprise is very complex. It requires deep technical knowledge, most times additional hardware and software and demands ongoing management, an enterprise solutions approach, and a careful hand. As corporation grows and need change, costs of encryption will increase and system might have to be upgraded or replaced with a new and compatible solution.
The hardest tasks which business people and their professional IT consultants face, is to find out which encryption product is suited for which purpose. The various systems have many good "qualities" which range from good encryption, which has never been broken and never will be, to encryption that looks very scrambled, but can be broken by an expert in a few minutes with a pen and paper. Other encryption products are being judged by sales talks as well as on the prestige of the company name.
Although encryption technology in the 90's was very popular and primarily used as end-to-end technology, where it was run from the edge of the network, Chief Information Officers (CIO's) saw this technology more as a "bug" rather than an enhancing feature. These services were high in training and installation costs and carried many technical problems. One of these problems was that encryption made it harder for network diagnostic tools to penetrate and analyze the corporate traffic flow. Eventually other security products came along, and drew more enthusiasm than encryption systems. One if the main products were firewalls and intrusion detection systems, which did not demand as many technical and manpower resources for installation and administration. "Crypto companies were begging for someone to pay attention to them," remembers Vin McLellan, managing director of the Privacy Guild, a security consultancy in Chelsea, Mass.
Before starting implementation, companies have to look at the pros and contras for using encryption solution as corporate tools. Security concern is growing and corporations and their employees see a need for it and feel more secure when using encryption to send sensitive or personal data. This is a main reason why many corporations are evaluating and considering encryption systems. But also, there are many companies and institutions, which are "forced" to implement encryption to protect customer data and transactions to oblige by all current laws and regulations. In the past years, government has passed many new laws and regulations, governing security. PCI, SB 1386, GLBA, and SOX have evolved into much more than simply security and regulations related acronyms. They are the drivers for encryption in today's security world.
According to latest security studies, the main reasons for implementing encryption solutions are to prevent data breaches (55 percent), protect the company's brand or reputation that could result from a breach (40 percent), to comply with security regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (49 percent) and to avoid having to notify customers or employees after a data breach occurs (12 percent). Other important regulations that are in place and influence corporations to implement encryption solutions are various state and emerging federal regulations on data security breach notification (57 percent) and HIPAA (43 percent).
Just like the commercial sector is using encryption, various government agencies as well as the military began to implement encryption and PKI systems on a "regular" level than just for communication and transmission of classified data as it has been in the past. Encryption is being used to transmit personal data on government websites, while filing taxes or requesting information. But at the same time tough, the same technology that allows to securely send information across the Internet and e-mail, makes it harder for law enforcement authorities to detect terrorist plots or build cases against criminals.
Research shows that many professionals view encryption as an important security tool - a tool that enhances the information security and overall sense of trust or comfort in their organizational data protection efforts. Despite the fact that many companies implement encryption to comply with latest security regulations and laws, there is a motivation to prevent a security breach and protection of the organization's brand and reputation. This suggests that organizations are realizing the importance of raising the bar in the area of data protection in order to maintain the trust and confidence of individuals who are providing their personal information. And although there might be valid arguments against using encryption such as the extensive knowledge and new technology required, there is little contra, that the best way to protect data is to encrypt it by using a strong encryption and managing the encryption keys properly.

Written by Byron Kerman Friday, 15 January 2010 00:00
A dead rabbi's family must deal with the revelation that his entire life was a lie in this highly recommended new graphic novel from Xeric Award winner Neil Kleid and artist Nicolas Cinquegrani.
176 pgs. B&W; $13.95
(W: Neil Kleid; A: Nicolas Cinquegrani)
If I were the kind of person who was into making top-10 lists, my "Best Graphic Novels of 2010" list would have included Neil Kleid and Nicolas Cinquegrani's The Big Kahn. It probably would have cracked the top three, even.
That's because the writing in this one is sharp as a tack, and the plot is wholly original. Kleid (Brownsville, Ninety Candles), a Xeric Award winner, imagines the fallout of a gentile crashing the funeral of a Rabbi Kahn, claiming that the deceased was not a rabbi, and more, not even Jewish. Turns out the guy isn't kidding—Rabbi Kahn was an impostor (thus the "Kahn job" of the title), who originally pretended to be a rabbi to win the heart of a religious woman. Along the way, the rabbi became a virtuous and pious man, but the revelations that emerge after his death throw his family and congregation into chaos.
Kleid's conceit may be a little on the unlikely side, but his treatment of characters is pitch-perfect. The rabbetzin (rabbi's wife) is stunned that her husband never shared his big secret with her. Each of the rabbi's three children has his or her own cross to bear (no pun intended). The most compelling subplot follows his son Avi, who is ousted from the synagogue, and turns, for the first time, to the forbidden fruit for comfort: his sister's roommate. His crisis of faith plays out like something from The Jazz Singer or Chaim Potok's The Chosen—good stuff.
As the characters discover the depths of their absent patriarch's deception, and fall deeper into their respective emotional shit pits, the plot becomes more and more absorbing. There are some mawkish flashbacks, and a regrettable emphasis on the healing power of religion (for this agnostic, anyway), but they're more than compensated for by delicious moments, like a meeting of petty, bickering temple congregants that has the ring of truth; or that clever seduction scene that finds the rabbi's son ensnared and then reborn into confusion; or when two of the children begin to wonder, through various misadventures, just how much of the con artist is in their own genes. One of the book's great strengths is its pacing and tone, conveyed by the frequent use of silent panels. Silent. Panels. Slow. The reader. Down. And. It's good. To slow. Down. And. Think.
I wish I could say that Nicolas Cinquegrani's art is as impressive, but he might benefit from the teachings of an artist skilled at rendering faces. Cinquegrani has a knack for making panels moody with light and shadow, and his collaboration with Kleid makes for subtly paced plot and thoughtful resonance, but the artist winds up coming off as young, with a somewhat wooden style that will hopefully evolve.
Neil Kleid you will be reading more of, if you should be so lucky, to paraphrase a classic Jewish exhortation.
Very highly recommended. | Byron Kerman

Got moving about 11 am for Prime Hook NWR with the 4x5. (Man, I could get used to this) I took the Black Farm Trail, a nice walk between a couple of windrows and tax ditches through a field and back to the woods.

His work speaks volumes to his skill and proficiency.

HEY Chronberg it is looking really good. I like the expression of the dog in the larger version but I also like the pose with his leg striding forward/. I totally like the little girl just blissfully skipping along. I can't wait to see it coloured up.
May 5th, 2014 #94
Hi there!
Here's the so called finished sketch of the dog/girl-thing. Will probably not take it further than this. I think I learned a few things in the process though.
Yeah, the pose of the dog in this version is very static, I agree.. or "controlled" as one could say. It's after all a highly trained guard dog, waiting for input from his owner. At least that's a way of getting out of the dilemma not being very good at drawing dogs :-D ! Thank you for peaking!
Are you working on your project, or no time?
May 11th, 2014 #95
Hey Chronberg I really like the concept and what you have done. I haven't been able to work anymore on mine but hopefully I will get round to posting it here and on the Skillshare forums. I would like to go back to mine as I progress.

Hey Chronberg, wow so many studies, well done they all look good to me. I am especially impressed with the post #101 glass above the mixer and also I really like the last three in post #103. Really too much for me to comment on but great to look at and the character studies are very fun. I can tell that you are building a vast memory library.

Hey Marian! Thanks for watching. Trying to break away from pure studies and cross over doing a bit of my own stuff.. takes time, not quite there yet, but it'll come I guess :-)
A few more heads.

August 3rd, 2014 #110
Nice progress. It's great to see you composing an image as well.
For post 94, since it's digital, you could erase it and redraw the dog in a better pose. I've gone through a painting and then realize I need to redraw some things. I know it slows down the process but fighting through times like that is really important. I think the composition can be improved on as well. I would move the girl away from the edge some more so the flower isn't awkwardly cut off. I would also vary the trees a bit. They look a little too similar. They can still look similar but giving a little variety can help. Also, pushing the lighting on the main figures would make them stand out more.
I would experiment with the body language. She looks upset with the guard dog. Maybe you have were walking ahead of the dog while the dog's body language suggests he is disappointing in himself and is behind her. I don't know. That was just a random idea.
Anyway, keep up the hard work. It's paying off.
Right now
August 10th, 2014 #111
Some more heads and also a few hand studies. Trying to use constructive methods.
Istmin52, thank you for looking and giving constructive critique.
As for the dog/princess image I think I agree with all of your comments. I did however complete the image, not being very satisfied, but having learned some things in the process.
Sometimes I think reworking until it feels as good as possible is the way to go, but I also feel that it can be a good thing to finish off a piece and start another one (especially if it's for practice anyway). I have a bad habit of never finishing stuff.. not being satisfied. I guess it can both be a curse and a blessing, depending on how you look at it.
Anyways, I need to learn and practice the fundamentals (most all of them) quite a bit more to be able to create and also rework stuff with some degree of certainty and speed, which is why I'm mostly doing studies at the moment. After that I hope I'll be able to start expressing my own ideas a bit easier.

[display_podcast] From Pam Rohr, author of Blended Not Broken: I am going to share right from my heart today. Lately I've been a bit discouraged about recording more podcasts and blogs about blended families. The truth is, I felt like a hypocrite because my blended family is not how it used to be and not how I want it to be. Satan has been telling me I'm a hypocrite and I listened for a while until I was told once again how much these principles are helping families to blend. I was taking on fa … [Read more...]

[display_podcast]Last week we discussed Ted and Susie's situation about whether they should give money to Ted's grown daughter who is in debt.Not surprisingly, people have differing opinions on this subject. Some parents believe that once their child is out on their own, they need to make it on their own. And those parents who have or do help their children financially do so because they are "legitimately concerned" about their child's financial well-being, while others stated they did … [Read more...]

You know how the dude who hosts The Bachelor says that it's going to be the "most dramatic ending ever," like in every episode? Well, fans finally got what they were promised on last night's finale.
I don't even watch the show, but I have been sucked in a few times this season by ABC's brilliant and sappy promos for Jason Mesnick's search for a wife and mother to his son. Apparently, at the final rose ceremony, Jason proposed to Melissa (who all my Facebook friends seemed to be rooting for) over Molly, who happily accepted the engagement ring.
BUT, drum roll, please, on the follow-up show, The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, which was taped six weeks after the finale, Jason revealed that he had second thoughts!
"Over the last few weeks, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Molly," Jason told host Chris Harrison. "If I could change the way I feel... I would do that, but I can't."
Jason then told Melissa she was out and she stormed off the set. Next, Molly showed up and Jason asked for a second chance -- which she gave him!
Wow! Talk about a topsy-turvy ending. Didn't see any of that coming -- honestly, I thought he was going to end up back with Deanna. Then again, what do I know? I don't even watch the show.
I wanna hear your thoughts on the finale. Shocked? Pissed? Happy? Do tell!

The Biggest threat to all of humanity. May be the "End" predicted by the Mayans.Submitted by Eagle Scout 4 R... on Sat, 07/21/2012 - 13:54
I sure hope this doesn't happen:
Fukushima reactor No. 4 vulnerable to catastrophic collapse; could unleash 85 times Cesium-137 radiation of Chernobyl; human civilization on the brink
(NaturalNews) The news you are about to read puts everything else in the category of "insignificant" by comparison. Concerned about the 2012 U.S. presidential election? Worried about GMOs? Fluoride? Vaccines? Secret prisons? None of that even matters if we don't solve the problem of Fukushima reactor No. 4, which is on the verge of a catastrophic failure that could unleash enough radiation to end human civilization on our planet. (See the numbers below.)
The resulting releasing of radiation would turn North America into a "dead zone" for humans... mutated (and failed) crops, radioactive groundwater, skyrocketing infant mortality, an explosion in cancer and infertility... this is what could be unleashed at any moment from an earthquake in Japan. Such an event could result in the release of 85 times the Cesium-137 released by the Chernobyl catastrophe, say experts (see below). And the Chernobyl catastrophe made its surrounding regions uninhabitable by humans for centuries.
Yet, astonishingly, the usual suspects of deception are saying absolutely nothing about this problem. The mainstream media (the dying dinosaur media, actually) pretends there's no problem with Fukushima. President Obama says nothing about it. Federal regulators, including the NRC, are all but silent. It's as if they think their silence on the issue somehow makes it go away.
Perhaps these professional liars in the media and government have become so used to idea that they can simply spin their own reality (and get the public suckers to believe almost anything) that they now believe they can ignore the laws of physics. That's why they have refused to cover the low-level radiation plume that continues to be emitted from Fukushima.

Americans are getting a little taller and a lot fatter.
Adults are roughly an inch taller than they were in the early 1960s, on average, but nearly 25 pounds heavier, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.
The nation's expanding waistline has been well documented, though Wednesday's report is the first to quantify it based on how many pounds the average person is carrying.
In 1960-62, the average man weighed 166.3 pounds. By 1999-2002, the average had reached 191 pounds.
Similarly, the average woman's weight rose from 140.2 pounds to 164.3 pounds.
The report also documented a dramatic increase in weight when measured by body mass index, a scale that takes into account both height and weight. Average BMI has increased from about 25 to 28 over the 40-year span.
Anyone with a BMI of 25 and up is considered overweight, and those with BMIs of 30 and up are considered obese.
Americans are also getting a little bit taller.
Men's average height increased from 5 feet 8 inches in the early 1960s to 5 feet 9½ inches in 1999-2002.
The average height of a woman went from just over 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches.
The report defines men and women as those ages 20 to 74 years old.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is reviewing all cases led by Detective Arvin Fant.
Fant was the lead detective in the Demeatrius Montgomery case. Montgomery is accused of killing two CMPD officers in 2007.
Last Monday, on the first day of Montgomery's trial, Fant admitted that he discarded notes in the case and he used another officer's writings in other notes to refresh his memory about interviews.
Fant has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigative by Internal Affairs.
On Monday, CMPD announced that an independent panel will review all cases on which Fant served as lead detective to determine whether any discrepancies exist.
Retired Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Shirley Fulton will lead the panel, which will include retired Internal Affairs members and investigative supervisors from CMPD.
The review will begin this week and will be monitored by the Mecklenburg County District Attorney's Office.

ratherbeswimmin''s Note:
The Best Recipes in the World; Mark Bittman. Reportedly a specialty of southwestern France. He recommends using Montbazillac, a good Sauterne ,or Barzac. The sauce is described as "nicely but not cloyingly sweet". Recommended to serve over buttered noodles.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 -3 lbs beef brisket or 2 -3 lbs boneless beef chuck
- salt
- black pepper
- 3 large onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 -3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 cup sweet white wine
- 1Add 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over med-high heat; wait a minute or so and when the oil is hot, add the beef.
- 2Brown the beef well on both sides, about 10 minutes, adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn.
- 3Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper as it browns.
- 4Transfer meat to a plate; decrease heat to medium.
- 5Add the remaining oil and vegetables to the skillet; stir once, then cover.
- 6Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the onions are browned, dry, and almost sticking to the pan.
- 7Uncover, then add the wine and stir.
- 8Add in the meat and cover again.
- 9Adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily but not violently and cook until the meat is tender (this may be as short as 90 minutes or as long as 3 hours).
- 10Transfer meat to a cutting board; let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- 11Taste and adjust the sauce seasoning; you should be able to taste the pepper.
- 12If the mixture is very thin (unlikely), boil it down for a few minutes, as needed.
- 13Carve the meat and serve it with the sauce spooned over it.
