Pieces o' Pork

It seems to happen quite a lot that we pull out some meat from our Chestnut Farms meat CSA, and can't figure out what, exactly, we're dealing with. What are "country style ribs" exactly? "Pork loin sirloin cutlets?" Center cut loin chops vs sirloin chops? It doesn't help that some parts of the animal can have two or more different names.

This site looks like a promising start to figuring it all out.

So does this one Did you know that "pork center loin roast = center cut pork loin roast = pork loin roast center cut = pork center rib roast = center cut pork roast = pork loin rib half = pork loin center cut = pork loin center rib roast"?

Posting them here for easy reference for the next time we succumb to pork bafflement.
