Sunrooms And Patio reviews in Aztec
AHawkins Home ImprovementsPretty much covered above, I was thrilled to find someone that wasn't out to goudge me. Over the years I've had terrible experiences and don't walk into anything anymore with my eyes shut. Mr. Hawkins was meticulous in his estimate, has a strong work ethic, and made sure I understood step by step what was entailed in the reconstruction process. He was also very sharing of information about products that he used and why he used them, so he educates while he works. I don't think there's anything he can't do, but he's honest about that too.- Cynthia J.

Nick DiPaolo
The Winnipeg Press said it best: "Gentle as a starved wolverine and as predictable as a tipsy-hop through a minefield". Nick Di Paolo's honest and acerbic comedy has made him a sought after voice on stage, television and radio for years and earned him two Emmy Nominations for writing.
Di Paolo's career took off after he appeared on "HBO's Young Comedian Special". He has since written and performed four standup specials and four CDs. The most recent standup effort being a one hour Showtime special entitled "Raw Nerve".
He was a regular for the whole two year run of "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" and became a staple on the Comedy Central roasts. Other notable television and film credits include "Louie", "Lucky Louie", Artie Lange's "Beer League" a guest starring role on "The Sopranos" and "The Chris Rock Show", where he was a writer for two seasons as well. Writing credits also include the 77th Annual Academy Awards and the MTV Music Video Awards.
For years he has been a favorite guest on radio shows including "The Howard Stern Show", "The Opie and Anthony Show" and "The Dennis Miller Show" to name a few. He also hosted "The Nick Di Paolo Show" in New York City in 2007 and "The Nick and Artie Show" from 2011-2012.
Nick Di Paolo is probably one of the most authentic voices whether on or off stage. He's referred to as a comic's comic because there are no facades, no act. It's all Nick Di Paolo, all the time.


text: In the previous developer diary about Alan Wake's American Nightmare, the creative triumvirate of the Remedy dev studio said that they're making this new Xbox Live game with more of an action focus in mind. But they're back again to assuage any fears you might have about the minimization of the moody narrative that won so many fans for Alan Wake in the first place. The comments in the video above shed some light on where American Nightmare fits in Wake continuity and also shout out other influences that will be coming to the fore in the downloadable title. Me, I'm just glad for more Night Springs. That show-that-doesn't-actually-exist rocks.

A meth addict gave me some good advice once. Or at least I thought it was.
"Image is everything."
Similar adages, such as "a man lives by his reputation" or "perception is reality" had long existed, but for some reason the junkies resonated with me more. Probably because I saw it on television. Regardless, I heeded the advice because it made sense to me; since so much of your life is left to the control of others, who you believe yourself to be doesn't matter as much as who others believe you are. The relationships, opportunities, privileges and epitaphs bestowed upon us are all based on who we are perceived to be. So live accordingly.
It wasn't until later in life that I learned not to take advice from junkies. Image isn't everything, because image-or perception-is purely subjective. Our thoughts and deeds are left to the interpretation of those who have been shaped by their own experiences. Everyone has their own biases, everyone doesn't forgive-or forget, for that matter-and it's simply impossible to please them all. We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
Which brings us to Kobe Bryant.
This is his 14th season, one which has shown the effects of more than 35,000 minutes of basketball. He's battled broken fingers, aging knees, a sprained ankle and an ailing back to the cusp of yet another championship, though he may fall short. Again. But no matter the result of this evenings contest-or Thursday's, if necessary-the most impressive injury Bryant has overcome is one which he suffered quite some time ago. His psyche.
From the moment he slid those sunglasses off and announced his decision to go pro, he was perceived as a spoon fed primadonna. From the moment he entered the league alongside a man who would turn the marketing model on its ear, his racial identity has been questioned. From the moment he dared to question the work ethic of an established, but complacent superstar and the authority of a well decorated, but manipulative coach, he's been deemed too ambitious. And from the moment he exited that hotel room, he surrendered the benefit of the doubt.
A series of moments, spliced into his highlight reel and the collective consciousness, the effects of which have left us with the man who stands here today, jaw jutted and eyes narrowed. A man who pretends not to give a fuck what you think while making it quite evident that he plays for your approval. Such is the dichotomy of being Kobe Bryant. For there is a distinct difference between being the one in the history book and being the one who writes it.
There are some who will tell you that this evenings events will ultimately shape his "legacy", another subjective term. You won't find them here. But alas, Kobe doesn't give a fuck what we think. Right? Maybe you will.
After all, it's not like we're on drugs or anything…..
by Marcel Mutoni / @marcel_mutoni
Kobe Bryant continues to have what is arguably the most fascinating, enthralling, frustrating, and bizarre career of any NBA Hall of Famer.
Things started off so promisingly, then disaster struck, and then he somehow pulled it all back together and redeemed himself in the court of public (and athletic) opinion.
Tonight — and potentially, Thursday night — he gets yet another opportunity to rewrite his story. His own brilliant, divisive, twisted, convoluted, and endlessly fascinating story.
A loss to Boston this summer provides his critics with plenty of ammunition: he's no Jordan and never will be; he's not the greatest Laker; the '09 title was a "fluke"; he can't make his teammates tougher and better; etc.
(Key thing to remember in all of this: Magic Johnson won five NBA championships. Along the way, Johnson and his Lakers lost in the title round FOUR times. And last time I checked, no one considers his career a let down in any way.)
A win, an improbable comeback against this determined, defensively-great Boston Celtics team validates what Kobe Bryant's defenders have always known: he's right up there with the G.O.A.T.; five titles in seven trips to the championship round can't be denied; there's plenty of time left to gobble up more gold trophies; he's the best player on the planet, and has been for years.
In the end, none of that really matters. And then again, it all matters. Every twist, turn, triumph and defeat.
The man has had — and continues to have — an amazing run. Though his place in today's game, and in the grand history of the League will continue to be debated breathlessly and endlessly, Bryant's body of work will stand alone, without need for comparison to other greats.
When we look back on his career, no intelligent person is going to think to themselves, "Kobe was a great player. Could've been one of the greatest if only he found a way to beat those Boston teams in either 2008 or 2010."
Bryant's story won't come to an end tonight, or even later on this week. This series — with all of its history, nostalgia, andgrainy video clips — will not define his legacy. It will serve as an important chapter in the grand book of his career and life.
There is plenty of basketball left for Kobe Bryant, many more chapters yet to be written.
by Ryan Jones / @thefarmerjones
A win would help (a little), and a loss would hurt (a bit), but no matter the outcome of this year's NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant's legacy is pretty well set. Short of him winning at LEAST two more championships in L.A., Bean will be remembered in 10 or 20 years for what he was (or, I guess, is): A wonderful basketball player whose athleticism and competitiveness and F-U knack for late-game heroics brought him closer than anyone has ever been to Michael Jordan. We can argue scoring averages and nitpicks stats, but nobody who has actually watched both of them in their prime could argue that Kobe couldn't do pretty much everything Mike did. He bit the style like a true method actor, Jamie Foxx in Ray, thoroughly believable and nearly as effective.
But again, only nearly.
In the legacy stakes, Kobe's gate opened too late to ever really give him a chance. Dude didn't have his own team until almost a decade into his career. Those first three rings will never be his, not in the way all six of the Bulls' belong to Mike. Those Finals MVP statues will always belong to Shaq, now matter how clumsily he has stumbled to the finish, no matter how insecure he's been, no matter that he wouldn't have won them without Kobe. When Kobe got his fourth, it was, in a sense, only his first. It's not fair, except that it is, and nothing he can do now will change it.
Two wins in the next three days would help, of course. Somehow making it a three-peat next year would help a lot. He's in that top-10 conversation, maybe even nudging his way into the top half, but even then, he's not Mike. Not quite. He'd need to top Jordan, do one thing clearly better than the guy whose game he has aped since Day 1. Can you see him winning three MORE? With that mileage, on those knees?
And if the Celtics close this out, and Kobe never wins another ring? He's still got four. Rare air. Ridiculous totals and averages. Player of the '00s, by a mile. Best player in what might be the best Draft class ever. Legendary. Either way.
Just not Mike.
Even if he is as good as Jordan, he'll never be as good as Jordan. I long ago stopped trying to figure the dude out, so I don't know if he can be content with that reality. For his sake, I hope so.
by Jake Appleman / @JakeAppleman
According to Basketball-Reference.com, Kobe Bryant has played 1,217 total games in his career up to this point. According to the law of averages–or the average NBA career–that's already a lot of basketball games. According to the Ed Rooney's secretary, Kobe Bryant has never taken a day off from school. According to a lot of people–at least according to this email sent to me by Myles Brown–Kobe Bryant's legacy can be defined, or significantly altered, by what he does in the next one or two games in Los Angeles. According to me, that might be one of the silliest things I've ever heard.
Kobe Bryant will still be Kobe Bryant–one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, and a man that occasionally struggles with a protruding jaw–regardless of the outcome of the 2010 NBA Finals. If the Lakers do what the '94 Houston Rockets did and win games 1,3,6 and 7 of a rugged series against a phenomenal defensive outfit, it will be one more remarkable thing Kobe Bryant has done in his already remarkable career. If he fails, well, he put up a valiant effort–with some single-handed gunslinging for the ages–against a starting five that still hasn't lost a series when healthy.
The reason we want what happens to Kobe to mean something in the annals of NBA history is because it gives us–the media and fans–the illusion of control over something we have no control of.
Basketball is a team game. If the Lakers lose, it means, in a seven-game series, the Lakers–the team that Kobe Bryant plays for and leads into battle–lost to the Boston Celtics. It means the team with four All-Star caliber players beat the team with two superstars and a fantastic supporting cast. And it means, finally, that you, the beholder, have the choice to place uncredited, irrelevant *importance* on the legacy of a single player because that's your prerogative as an American in this wonderfully corrupt democracy. Nothing more. Nothing less. You won't be deciding anything that hasn't already been decided. You'll just be talking; something that can, admittedly, be very fun.
Win, lose or draw (brought upon by some sort of awful land oil spill fire apocalypse) Kobe Bean Bryant will still be the NBA'sDexter: the basketball player that kills basketball players.
With maybe twelve exceptions.
by Russ Bengtson / @russbengtson
Kobe Bryant has played 45,092 NBA minutes in his career. He's played in 196 playoff games, appeared in seven NBA Finals, won four titles. He's failed over and over and over again in his… whoops, wrong line. Anyway, he's done all that, accomplished so much, yet we're supposed to believe that the next game – or possibly two — will be the ones that define his entire legacy?
If he wins, what of it? He still has fewer rings than Jordan, only ties Magic (who, by the way, won his five rings in nine Finals appearances. I'm not so good at math, but I think that means he lost in the Finals four times). Either way, win or lose, Kobe winds up with the vague distinction of being "in the discussion" with Jordan as the greatest ever. For your convenience, I've transcribed that discussion here:
"You know, Kobe Bryant is every bit as good a player as Michael Jordan was. Jordan always talked about how he wouldn't have gotten to where he did if he wasn't able to stand on the shoulders of guys like Doc and David Thompson. Can't Kobe say the same thing? He built his game off Jordan's blueprint, and Magic's, and Bird's. I know he only has four/five rings, I know he's lost in the Finals, I know he didn't win them all as the undisputed alpha dog, but it's a different era, with different competition. Right? Is it so unreasonable to consider Kobe the best player of all time?"
"But why? Jordan had Scottie Pippen, who was his near-perfect complement in every way. He had the benefit of playing for Phil Jackson before everyone in the League knew what his methods were. And his opponents were all fatally flawed in some way. Who was the best team the Jordan-era Bulls ever beat? The Jazz? The Sonics? Do any of those teams even make the Finals in the current West? Isn't it entirely possible that Jordan's perfect record in the Finals had as much to do with luck as it did with his oft-cited – and Nike reinforced – indomitable will?"
"F*ck it, let's order a pizza."
Let's say that the Celtics go on to win one of these final two games. Does that mean Paul Pierce – or Kevin Garnett – is better than Kobe Bryant? Does it mean they want it more? Of course not. All it means is that the 2010 Celtics were better than the 2010 Lakers for two weeks in June.
What if the Lakers win? After all, all they need to do is protect home court. This is what they played all season for. And in order to do that, they need more from Kobe's alleged supporting cast. He can't rebound for them, or hit free throws for them, or stop them from taking ill-advised threes. (Well, he could do that, but it would be unprecedented.) Either way, a team will win this Finals.
As for Kobe's legacy, well, that's already been determined in the hearts and minds of journalists and fans and Hall of Fame voters everywhere. Is it possible that these next 48 minutes negate the past 45,000? As Kobe himself, might say: No. Not at all.

I did a variation of the turtle lady stand with metal conduit and lashing as seen here ... it could easily use 5' poles and thereby only use 3 10' pieces of conduit instead of my 6. That would make it both cheaper and easier to pack. My 10' poles are still pretty easy to deal with.
"don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go and do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
This is the portable stand that I use for when trees are not an option (usually scouting events where I am unable to choose my location). I believe it is the basis for Sgt Rocks stand he mentioned. May times I will use a single pole when a tree or other structure is available to hold one end.

At the beginning of each year, in anticipation of the next, I think about not just one thing, but many things come to mind. Of course, being an expert on none of the things I think about leaves me with the comfort that no matter what I think, I won't be asked my opinion about most of them and I won't be responsible for the "way the world turns out." But I think about "things" just the same. So here goes my, in no particular order, "things" I've been thinking about this month.
Terror! Oh, I know everybody's thinking about it, but I was watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers over the holidays and just noticed the similarity between the choices in the fiction and the real choices America (and really the world) faces today. We have many of the same options that Middle Earth had. King Theoden was for running off to the next fortress instead of facing the problems head on. His allies, Aragorn, Gandalf, and the others (Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin) were for more of a direct confrontation with the "Orcs"…taking it to them you might say. Much like that "King of Rohan" of fiction, we can tempted by "man-wisdom." It stands in contrast to Godly-wisdom much of the time and seems to run to a temporary comfort rather than a future good. "Man-wisdom" tends to hide and hope that trouble goes away. Maybe the terrorists will get bored with terror and just pack up their bags and go home. Maybe their "fanaticism" will wane and they'll decide to give up "their life of crime." Maybe they'll take up gardening as a hobby. I suppose, with a little "man-wisdom," you could think terror will go away by simply boycotting it. It is so ironic that a peaceful people choose to "fight a war on terror," but sometimes to preserve the peace we will experience "fighting" in the defense of it.
Light is much more powerful than darkness! I remember going to Mammoth Cave several times as our daughters were growing up. Each time our tour guides always did the same thing inside the cave. They turned off all the lamps and just let us, and 50 other people, set in the dark. I mean really dark! Pitch Black! Not the dark that we're accustomed to, dark influenced by starlight, streetlights or the moon to brighten the evenings. Then the guide would light a candle and the whole room was brightened. WE could see everyone and everything with only that candlelight! It was very impressive moment and illustrates a likeness to the "Light of the World." Just a little Light illuminates the place where It is present, no matter how dark it is! Now, you can't say that about darkness. Try taking a little darkness into a room that's lit. That darkness just can't dispel the light. Darkness is less powerful than Light! As America (and our friends) tries to make a difference in the world, we need to support this effort to dispel "this present darkness." We shouldn't grow "weary of doing good." Even if we're small in number, the "goodness" of our cause is stronger than terror. As lonely and as criticized as we are, we must do the right thing to have any chance of bringing the Light to the dark "cave" we all live in. It can be tough, it can be unpopular, it can be dangerous, and it can be tiring, but I think the effort is important. So terror is one of the things I've been thinking about.
I've been thinking about people a lot lately. I'm concerned about Christians' lack of observing the emotional toll on people around them. While we all have different problems we face, there's universality to much of what I see. It seems that all people are "stressed" at some level. It reminds me of a teaching we broadcast by Bill Gillham a few years ago. The Gillhams had a program on WBVN called Lifetime Guarantee. One of the subjects dealt with our emotional condition and how we can get "bent out of shape" so easily and stay there! While being confronted by stressful situations, our "feelers" go to "10" on a scale of "1 to 10." Bill illustrated how our "feeler" (our emotional well being) gets stuck. The needle on his "feeler meter" gets buried at the highest mark. Bill put it like this, using the threat of a bear on a camping trip as motivator, "Bears eat meat, you are meat; running is an option, but bears can run faster than people. However, you could be running while generating more options; climbing a tree's no good, since he'd just eat you in the treetop. Then you see a cabin in the woods and you dart into the cabin." Your feeler is doing one thing and one thing only: it's generating an emotion we all call FEAR! And even after you reach the safety of the cabin (a cabin made of logs, bolted together; built like a fort!) your emotions are stuck on 10! The problem is you don't know you're safe. Even though you are safely inside the cabin, as the bear tears at the wall and raises all kinds of havoc, your "feeler" still remembers thinking "bears eat meat, I am meat!" Every stimulus just peaks the needle even more. If fact, if you don't watch out, you might be perfectly safe but die of a heart attack because you don't benefit from your safety. If you benefited from your safety you could do the next thing, believe your safe and trust! That's were we are today! Stressed and forgetting our safety in Christ. In this time, in the condition we find ourselves in, we need to "lean in on God".
The (1) terror, (2) the pressure of the culture, (3) the difficulty in relationships, and (4) the distractions of this world have established a lot of us at a level "10" and we're stuck there! We get accustomed to that "10" feeling and forget how to get the meter down in the lower levels. We need to be aware of the emotional "meter reading" of others. We live in a time when any thing said casually, carelessly, could get a big reaction from our friends and family. Even when there's no threat there at all, people can feel threatened. We stay in that "9 to 10" range. If we're not careful we'll assume that "10's" are natural feelings to stay at. Ten's become the norm! Because of all the stress, it doesn't take much to bury the needle. We need to be more observant of the world around us and understand the environment people live in and how that affects their emotional responses. We all need to be more careful. People are at "10's" all over the place, and as believers, as spiritual people, we need to recognize and interpret the condition of the world we live in and apply the Gospel attitude with care and knowledge. Well, that's the second thing I've been thinking about.
Next, as we begin our 16th year in broadcast ministry I'm thinking "beginnings." Actually our beginning. How close are we to the original purpose we began with in 1990? Are we still relevant today? How do we begin to increase the amount of ministry in direct proportion with the increased need of believers for encouragement? Relevancy is an important factor for ministry. Fifteen years of CCM and 89 WBVN concerts and still going is a great testimony for us, but is the radio ministry still valuable to people who listen. I did a little research and found that CCM is the fastest growing "genre" in America. Four out of 10 adults listen to Christian Radio each week, that's 75 to 80 million people per week. Amazingly, one-third of Christian radio listeners do not claim to be born again! Thirty-two percent of the listeners are college students. Seventeen percent of adults that do not attend a church or are not affiliated with a denomination listen regularly. Thirty-eight percent of the "Baby Boomers" listen. Importantly, Christian Radio gives "life-style" stewardship and expresses "core-values" at a time when most broadcast media want this country to live "above God" not live "under God." WBVN's not just entertainment; its more than that. We have about 15,000 people that tune in each week and WBVN ranks in the middle of all broadcasters (secular and Christian) in this listening area. Those facts encourage us of our relevancy. They encourage us to continue to encourage you.
Lastly, I've been thinking about this quote because it was the most encouraging quote I read in 2004. It's from Dwight Lyman Moody, and in the times we live in, it offers some comfort to Believers. "Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837; I was born of the Spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever." I really don't have much to add to that. In this time of trouble, almost a "Jacob's trouble", to know this one truth encourages me. Terrorists and bears are not much of a threat to people that believe like Moody. This life's pressure is only a moment in the time and as believers we're "timeless." No thing can separate us from the Love of God; nothing set against us can destroy what is eternal. God Bless and we look forward to being an "Encourager" for the Body of Christ for year number 16…

An Introductory Mac OS X Leopard Review: Developer ToolsAmong all of the new and improved applications Apple delivers to users in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, some of the most important are those that developers can use to build applications of their own. If you're not a hard core programmer, Leopard also offers a variety of more accessible tools: Automator for scripting, DashCode for building widgets, and Quartz Composer for creating audio and visual plugins, screen savers, image filters for iChat and music visualizations for iTunes. Here's the trail Apple's developer tools have followed, and how Apple nearly killed itself several times by not providing adequate tools in the past.
The Early Origins of Apple Developer Tools
In the late 70s, Apple founder Steve Wozniak wrote the original BASIC interpreter for the Apple II. Like most early software, it originally shipped on audio tape and required tedious loading from a data cassette player. Once loaded, users could write their own programs. The ability to write those software programs contributed a lot of value to systems, as the base system couldn't really do anything itself. In 1979 VisiCalc arrived and delivered a the first really practical application for buying a home computer.
Wozniak never got around to delivering support for floating point math in his "Apple BASIC," so the company licensed a BASIC interpreter from a tiny operation from New Mexico called Microsoft. That product was called Applesoft BASIC, and Wozniak's earlier version became known as Integer BASIC.
Microsoft's version was very slow, creating a demand for an additional BASIC compiler, which Microsoft also supplied as a solution to the problem. Relying on Microsoft for its developer tools turned out to be a catastrophic problem for Apple, which signed itself into an eight year contract covering Applesoft Basic.
Apple's MacBASIC Disaster
As Apple's Macintosh project was beginning to take shape in 1981, the company decided that it should deliver its own programming environment for the Mac rather than again delegating the task away to a third party. Apple feared that outsiders might not "get" the new Mac user interface that it had been investing so much research and development into perfecting.
Microsoft's contract for Applesoft BASIC expired in 1985, just as Apple was preparing to release its own MacBASIC. Sure enough, when Microsoft delivered its own BASIC for the Mac, it used a console interface rather than taking advantage of the Mac's new graphical environment.
After discovering Apple was planning to release its own, superior MacBASIC, Bill Gates was livid. His Applesoft BASIC was destined to be obsolete within a few years, but he also knew Apple was still making most of its profits from Apple II systems. Gates exploited that fact to tie the renewal of the ongoing Applesoft BASIC contract into a deal where Microsoft would buy Apple's MacBASIC for $1 and sandbag it.
Gates also tied in two years of exclusive development of the new Excel for Macintosh but then demanded a perpetual license of Apple's Mac interface for use in Windows 1.0. Apple CEO John Sculley agreed to the deal, and the result was that Apple was again left without control over its own development tools, in addition to now being unable to stop Microsoft from eventually appropriating the entire Mac desktop over the next decade. Two years later, Microsoft ported Excel for Windows and Applesoft became largely obsolete; however, Apple end up stranded with poor development tools from Microsoft while giving away its unique technologies to the company.
Andy Hertzfeld notes in Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories: MacBasic that beta versions of MacBASIC--distributed before Microsoft canned it--ended up being widely pirated, and two books on MacBASIC were published and sold well for years after that, despite never being officially released as a commercial product.
Mac vs Lisa in Application Development
While MacBASIC was intended to be a consumer level development tool, Apple also delivered tools geared toward professional developers. These were partly inherited from the Lisa, which had shipped a year prior to the Macintosh with the Lisa Workshop, a complete development environment, albeit based in a text console environment.
Lisa also shipped with a full productivity suite called the Lisa Office System 7/7, which included a the LisaWrite word processor, LisaCalc spreadsheet, LisaGraphs for charting, LisaList for outlines, LisaProject for task scheduling, LisaDraw for art, and LisaTerminal for serial communications.
The original Mac only shipped with MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, MacProject, MacTerminal, and a beta of MacBASIC. It lacked the full Lisa suite, in part because Apple didn't assign the same resources to the smaller Mac team, and in part because it was trying to encourage more third party support, and didn't want to step on the toes of the very developers it was courting. In large part, that again meant catering to and dependence upon Microsoft, which shipped Word and Excel shortly after the Mac's release as its first significant third party applications.
The Mac Toolbox and Human Interface Guidelines
In order to make the Mac easier to program than previous generations of computers such as the Apple II or the IBM PC, Apple included libraries called the Mac Toolbox that made it easier to follow the conventions of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, and gave applications a lot of common functionality for free.
For example, prior to the Mac every application managed its own printer support; individual word processors came with support files for a specific list of printers. On the Mac, a unified printing interface made installing a printer a system-wide feature that enabled all apps to print using the same dialog box. How everything worked was defined in great detail in "Human Interface Guidelines: The Apple Desktop Interface," (excerpt below) which defined details we now take for granted as obvious.
Apple's guidelines also defined standard, system-wide key combinations for all applications, so uses didn't need to learn a different set for each application they bought. Standardized key combinations, such as Command + O to open a file, had no equal in the mixed up world of DOS, where every app invented its own key combinations, as noted in How Apple Keyboards Lost a Logo and Windows PCs Gained One. For example, to simply open a file:
- WordPerfect used the command F7 + 3.
- WordStar used Ctrl + K + O.
- Lotus 1-2-3 used / to open the menu, W for Workspace + R for Retrieve.
- Microsoft Word used Esc to open the menu, T for Transfer + L for Load.
The Macintosh Programmers Workshop and HyperCard
In 1985, Rick Meyers, Jeff Parrish, and Dan Smith began work at Apple for the successor to the Lisa Workshop for the Mac, called the Macintosh Programmers' Workshop. It shipped in late 1986.
MPW (below) supported object-oriented Pascal (and later C, and C++ compilers licensed from Lucid under the name MrC/MrCpp) and a 68k assembler, and shipped with a separate debugging tool. Apple's MPW was priced sky high, well out of the range of hobbyist programmers.
In order to offer a more accessible development environment, Bill Atkinson, Apple's developer behind QuickDraw, created HyperCard. It made the task of building a scripted presentation easy even for non-technical users. Atkinson insisted that Apple bundle the program for free, and this led to it being widely used and wildly popular from its release in 1987 through the mid 90s.
In 1991's Mac System 7, AppleScript appeared as a new system service to allow any application to support a scriptable dictionary of actions that could be triggered by an external scripts. AppleScript was derived from the HyperTalk scripting language of HyperCard.

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You're playing the game, you're fighting the bosses, you know the how -- but do you know the why? Each week, Matthew Rossi and Anne Stickney make sure you Know Your Lore by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.
Last week's coverage of the lore of Wrath of the Lich King got to the thematic middle point of the expansion - the Wrathgate event. It changed the nature of Horde/Alliance relations, breaking any possibility for faction cooperation. It also capped off the Dragonblight storyline - Horde players had to deal with the realization that the very plague used on Horde troops by Putress was created by their efforts questing in the zone, while Alliance players saw the loss of one of the more beloved lore figures on their side, Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. (The last name Fordragon means "He who cleaves on Dragons' in old Arathi. Okay, no it doesn't. But Bolvar absolutely did that.) Combined with the way Bolvar's previous encounters with players had been worked into the quests, it was a gut punch to lose him.
It was far from the end of the story, however. We had miles to go before we reached the foot of Icecrown Citadel. I mentioned, briefly, the Arugal storyline in the Grizzly Hills, but there was also the story of the Furbolg in the region - a story that touched upon earlier zones such as the Howling Fjord and the Whisper Gulch. These stories would be shown to be of vast importance, and connected to that of an entity named Loken, who was directing the plunder of ancient Titan sites across Northrend by a force of strange Iron Dwarves.
The story of Loken would, in a way, eclipse that of Arthas Menethil without displacing him - for while the Lich King was a clear and present danger and the reason the Alliance and Horde had come to Northend, Loken would prove to endanger Azeroth far more directly. If the Lich King succeeded, the Scourge would rule a world dominated by the undead. If Loken had his way, there would be no Azeroth at all.
The machinations of these two forces both involved a strange material called Saronite - the Scourge forces seemed determined to mine this unusual metal from specific dark corners of the land beneath Northrend's surface. Whisper Gulch, too, teemed with it. But what was Saronite, and why did the Scourge seemingly loathe and fear the name Yogg-Saron while still using the stuff?

The world tilts. The warm dawn sun, so peachy and recently risen, sinks back below the parapet; the trees slant, the horizon angles and nothing is the same any more. This twisted perspective isn't a commentary on the impact the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta has had on the planet itself, so much as the fact I've just driven one, gently, carefully onto the historic banked circuit at Monza.
This is not a place to drive fast. Not because it's early and the extensive parkland within which Monza sits currently echoes to the sound of nothing more than the footfalls of joggers and squirrels, nor because a heavy forest of green is slowly reclaiming this place, tendrils of ivy creeping inexorably down the steep concrete. I don't doubt that the orchestral V12 would find favour amongst all who heard its 8,700rpm dawn chorus - be they man or beast - nor that the F12's technologically advanced underpinnings could cope with running at speed high on these mossy slopes.

Brief Synopsis
A Jewish soldier faces anti-Semitism when he enlists to fight World War II.
On New Year's Eve, 1938, Christian Diestl, a Bavarian shoemaker and part-time ski instructor, is romancing American Margaret Freemantle at a party. When Margaret asks Christian if he is a Nazi party member, he replies that he is not at all political but believes that the Nazis stand for something hopeful in Germany. He explains that he had to abandon his medical studies due to the lack of free universities in Germany, and that Hitler has promised to change that. Margaret is dismayed by Christian's affiliation and leaves the party early. World War II begins, and on 24 Jun 1940, when France surrenders to Germany, Christian, now a Nazi lieutenant, reports to Captain Hardenburg on the steps of Sacre Coeur in Paris.
In New York, singer Michael Whiteacre, hoping to be exempted from army service, is examined by the draft board and told to report for induction in about three months' time. At the draft board, Michael meets Noah Ackerman, who has recently arrived in New York from California. Michael invites Noah to a party that evening where he meets Margaret, now Michael's girlfriend, and is introduced to Hope Plowman, who is from Vermont. Noah escorts Hope to her temporary home in Brooklyn and instantly falls in love with her. In Paris, Christian's fellow officer Brandt has arranged a blind date for him with Françoise, a friend of the French woman, Simone, he is seeing. Although Françoise at first asks Christian how many Frenchmen he has killed, she later apologizes, explaining that her husband was killed in Belgium. Christian walks her home and asks to see her again. In Vermont, Hope nervously introduces Noah to her father, having told him beforehand that Noah is Jewish. Mr. Plowman and Noah walk around the small town, steeped in Puritan tradition, and as they return to Hope, Mr. Plowman tells Noah that he has never known a Jew and agrees to their marriage. In Paris, Christian asks for a transfer as he dislikes having been assigned to round up children for labor duties and is beginning to doubt his country's purpose. Hardenburg gives Christian leave to go to Berlin and asks him to deliver a present to his wife Gretchen. Gretchen seduces Christian and tells him that she knows someone on Rommel's staff who can arrange a transfer of duty.
In New York, Michael has been unable to pull any strings to keep himself out of the army and must report for basic training. Margaret, who is working for the Office of War Information, is being posted overseas and wants to get married, but Michael is unwilling. The next day, Noah leaves Hope to report to the army. In North Africa, Christian and Hardenburg execute a dawn raid on an encampment of British soldiers. Hardenburg carries the attack to excess, and orders all the wounded to be killed, but Christian finds himself unable to follow that order. Noah and Michael end up in the same army platoon, where Noah is subjected to harassment by Captain Colclough, who makes him the scapegoat for the confinement of the entire platoon to the barracks for a weekend. The other soldiers try to intimidate Noah with veiled ethnic slurs. Later, when Noah discovers that money he has been saving for a birthday present for Hope has been stolen from his footlocker, he issues a challenge to the unknown thief to fight him, and when four of the largest men in the platoon admit to the theft, Noah asks Michael to be his second. When Michael reports to Capt. Colclough that Noah has been badly beaten in three fights and asks him to put a stop to it, the captain warns Michael that he has been instructed by the colonel to approve or disapprove a request to have him transferred to Special Services in London, but should he complain to the colonel about Noah's treatment, the transfer will not go through. The transfer papers come in, but Michael elects not to leave as Noah still has one more fight. Noah wins that one and then goes A.W.O.L.
In North Africa, the German troops are attacked by British and American forces, but Christian and Hardenburg escape on a motorcycle. After Christian tells him that he is sick of the "great German army," Hardenburg replies that he should have shot him earlier when he disobeyed a command. The motorcycle hits a land mine. In America, a pregnant Hope visits Noah in army detention and tells him that a lawyer has indicated to her that if he returns to his old company, he will not go to prison. Noah goes back and faces the wrath of Colclough, who fully expects to continue his persecution of Noah; however, the colonel informs him that he will be court-martialed for his actions against Noah and Michael. Noah's fellow soldiers welcome him back and present him with a copy of James Joyce's Ulysses , which Colclough had confiscated, and inside it, the money he lost. Christian, now a captain, visits Hardenburg in a hospital and finds him with his head totally bandaged. Hardenburg asks him to visit Gretchen again to reassure her that he is "salvageable." He also asks Christian to bring him a bayonet with which to kill a fellow patient, who is beyond hope and wants to die. In Berlin, before visiting Gretchen, Christian witnesses the devastation and misery of the city. Gretchen tells him that her husband has killed himself with a bayonet, adding that she had written to him telling him not to return, that he would be better off in a permanent veterans' hospital. When Gretchen propositions him, Christian pushes her away in disgust and leaves. Christian meets Brandt again and they drive back to Paris to meet Simone and Françoise. Brandt tells Christian that Germany has lost the war and that he intends to desert. Christian tells Françoise that the thought of seeing her again kept him going through the horrors he has witnessed. She urges him to desert, but during the night he leaves a farewell note to her, "Forgive me, I love you but I am a German soldier."
In London, Michael and Margaret are together in a club during an air raid. Michael has turned down promotions, choosing to remain a private, but feeling guilt about having Noah and the others do his fighting for him, decides to return to his old company, now fighting in Normandy. He tells Margaret they will get married upon his return. In Vermont, Hope, now the mother of a baby girl, receives a letter from Noah promising to return to them. In Normandy, when they are pinned down by enemy fire, Noah, with Michael's help, rescues several of the men who had fought him. In Germany, when the retreating convoy with which Christian is now fighting is strafed by a plane, he wanders away and comes upon the Nackerholtz concentration camp. The camp's commander complains to him about the difficulties of running such a camp and receives orders, by phone, to kill every man, woman and child in the camp, 6,000 people, before the American troops arrive. The commandant encourages Christian to face the enemy when they arrive, doing his duty for the fatherland, but Christian wanders on very distraught and despairing. Noah and Michael's company liberate the camp and bring the local mayor to witness the horror therein. A rabbi, a former prisoner, asks permission of the company's captain to hold a religious service in the camp, and the captain guarantees that he can, over the protests of the mayor who states that this will cause riots. Noah and Michael are walking in the woods around the camp when the sound of Christian destroying his machine gun against a tree stump attracts them. As Christian walks toward them, Michael shoots and kills him. The war ends and Noah returns to New York to Hope and his daughter.

One of my favorite war movies
Brian Snat 2019-06-23
I like the way this shows the human side of war. Early in the movie Brando is a German ski instructor. As with most Germans at the time, he is not a Nazi,... MORE>
Excellent Film

Excellent, captivating movie. Although very long, my attention stayed. In this film, Brando proved me wrong. He doesn't degrade it, he enhances it... MORE>

I loved this movie. It felt real. It focused both on the actual experiences of World War II and made a relatable story of all the soldiers in the war. I... MORE>

An atheist organization says billboards it planned to run in downtown Vancouver have been rejected by advertising agency Pattison Outdoor.
The Centre for Inquiry Canada ad plays with a biblical reference by featuring the image of a woman with the words: "Jenn 13:1 Praying won't help. Doing will." It goes on to say: "Without God. We're all good."
It mentions the organization but doesn't use the word atheist.
The Vancouver ad campaign was made possible with a $20,000 anonymous donation, said Pat O'Brien, a board member of CFI Canada.
O'Brien said the educational charity was surprised Pattison Outdoor rejected the ads.
"The idea of the ads is not to upset anyone," he said.
"When we designed the ads, we went out of our way to make them as soft as we could. Our purpose is to find those people out there who think the same way we do but don't know there's an organization that will support their views. It's like any other advertising campaign: we're looking for people who are interested in our message and our product."
He said Pattison Outdoor didn't give a clear reason for rejecting the ads nor did they supply any guidelines involving their decision.
Steve McGregor, vice-president and general manager for Pattison Outdoor for the Pacific Region, did not respond to a request for comment.
O'Brien said CFI is looking at its options, which include filing a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.
The B.C. Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination without a "bona fide and reasonable justification" in providing services available to the public on the basis of "race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation or age."
In October, LifeSiteNews.com reported that Pattison Outdoor designed a pro-life billboard in Halifax called Signs for Life. The ad featured the head of a fetus and text that read: "Abortion: aren't we forgetting someone?"
"If they don't like controversial ads," O'Brien said, "they certainly ran anti-abortion ads in Halifax."
O'Brien said Pattison has a "virtual monopoly" on billboard space in downtown Vancouver. Denying the organization its ad amounts to denying it the ability to communicate with the public, he said.
Being told that the ad needs to be changed or modified isn't acceptable, O'Brien said.
"They seem to have dug their heels in a little bit. I'm quite certain that if we sat down with them that the answer would be the same: we'd like to see something different that they consider more appropriate," he said.
"We've already spent our budget on design. By saying, 'Give us an ad until we like it,' it's censorship by bankruptcy."
There have been several examples recently of groups using billboards to communicate what are considered political messages.
In August, the Palestine Awareness Coalition ran ads called Disappearing Palestine on SkyTrain and buses. In October, a pro-Israeli group countered those ads with its own Stand With Us ad campaign.
In May, an animal rights group called Mercy for Animals Canada ran 100 ads on SkyTrain asking why people eat some animals such as pigs but not others such as dogs.
Political ads on transit systems have been made possible because of a ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2009. In a unanimous decision, the court decided that a TransLink and BC Transit decision to ban political advertising on the sides of buses violated the free speech of the B.C. Teachers' Federation and the Canadian Federation of Students as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

HYDERABAD: After being buried in the unforgiving red clay of Chennai there is good news for Australia. The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the venue for Saturday's second Test, will at least not be the minefield on which India took a 1-0 series lead.
So say a pair of former Hyderabadi international spin bowlers who remain prominent in the Andhra Pradesh state capital.
Venkatapathy Raju, who played 28 Tests for India until 2001 and is vice-president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association, said Australia would find the second Test strip far more friendly after being torn to shreds by Ravichandran Ashwin, Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja in the craters of Chennai.
"It will not be as bad as Chennai, it will be a good wicket," said Raju, also a former India selector. "It will, as the game goes on, turn slowly, but only by the third day."
Even so, Raju advises Australia to include two specialist spinners, adding the left-arm orthodox Xavier Doherty to the line-up alongside Nathan Lyon. "I have seen Doherty, and he bowls at a good pace," Raju said. "I think you should always plays two spinners in India. You saw what England were able to do with the combination of left and right-handed [Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann] bowlers last year. Lyon is a more traditional spinner but Doherty would offer something different to India's right-handers."
Another former India spinner from Hyderabad, Shivlal Yadav, said the strength in fast bowling would be far more suited here in their quest to square the tussle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
"It is not red soil, it is a mix of black and red," said Yadav, a veteran of 35 Tests and India's team manager of their tour of Australia two summers ago. "The fast bowlers will get some assistance early here, and then it will be a good wicket for batting. I am 100 per cent certain Australia will be far more happy with the pitch in Hyderabad."
Head coach Mickey Arthur offered the first hint that Australia's decision to pick only Lyon, alongside three fast bowlers and seam-bowling all-rounder Moises Henriques in Chennai, might have been misguided.
"That's going to be the million dollar question," Arthur said. "It's easy in hindsight having a look at how the wicket ended up; you probably would have liked two spinners on there.
"However, our quicks took most wickets, and we didn't get a massive return from spin. I thought James Pattinson was outstanding, so it's a difficult dilemma, and I think going to Hyderabad we'll have to look at conditions before we make a proper decision."
Doherty, 30, played his only two Tests during Australia's home Ashes defeat to England in 2010, and has a modest first-class average of 44.56, with only two wickets in the Sheffield Shield season at 80. But selectors were pleased with how he bowled in the one-day international campaign and in a tour game against India A in Chennai, where he claimed three top-order wickets.
Arthur said Lyon would learn plenty from his first Test experience, where he also took key wickets but was on the end of a flogging, conceding 215 runs in India's first innings alone.
"It will be interesting to see how he pulls up after this Test match in terms of information and preparation and everything," Arthur said. "He worked extremely hard coming into [the Chennai] Test match; only he knows how he will approach things if he plays in the next Test match."

There are a million different reasons why business owners decide to undertake a new website design. Some sites are simply used to experiment with business models, other sites are used to share information about family or friends, but many sites are designed to help a business grow.
1. Define the purpose
Before sitting down to design a site (or hiring a web designer), all business owners should ask themselves, "Why am I building this site?" Imagine the details of site design for a company who does most of it's business on the web versus a brick-and-mortar company. On the one hand, the purpose of the site would be to increase online sales, while on the other hand, the purpose would be to generate foot traffic. Each tactic would be approached in a completely different way. Exploring the reasoning behind your site will help you determine budget, style, and if your company even needs a website at all.
What is your purpose? Perhaps you hope to educate potential customers. Maybe you desire to provide useful information. Most likely, your hope is that your web site will increase sales and generate awareness of your company. Defining the purpose of your site should be the first real step in moving toward a successful online strategy.
2. Consider the audience
A few other questions you may want to consider asking about the audience include:
- How old are they?
- How tech-savvy are they?
- What are they looking for on your site?
- What are their screen resolutions, browser types, operating systems, etc.? (We'll explore this more when we discuss the importance of site analytics)
3. Keep it simple
Many business owners who decide to build a website want to include dozens and dozens of pages about the company. Unless you are in the business of providing information for people, or your research has shown that including lots of information will draw visitors to you site, it's probably safer to keep it simple.
💔 Falling out of love with your clients? Trade some of your worst clients for the best companies in the world with SolidGigs, our premium weekly freelance job list & course library. Love your business again. Learn more »
Only create the pages that are absolutely necessary and will help achieve the site's purpose as defined in step one. Don't add something to your site just because "all your competitors are doing it." Every single action you take when building a company website should reflect your purpose and should tailor to your specific target audience.
Anything thing else is just waste.
4. Use a contact form
You might be asking yourself why this tip appears so high on the list or if it's really so important to use a contact form on your site. While the answer to those questions should ultimately be determined by your purpose and target audience, experience has shown that almost all sites should include a contact form of some sort.
Let's examine an alternative option and why a contact form is the best way for customers to reach you.
Many business owners prefer to have a simple link that users can click to email them. These links generally utilize the default email client on the computer (such as entourage, outlook, mail, etc) by opening a new email message and inserting the email address automatically.
Why shouldn't you use this method? There are multiple reasons.What if the site visitor is using a public computer or one on which the email system is not set up properly? What if the visitor prefers to use gmail, hotmail, or some other online email service? Under both of these circumstances, the 'email me' link will not suffice and
will, more than likely, frustrate the user, discourage them from emailing you, and send them away from your site.
In addition, 'email me' links usually expose your email address to spiders and bots who collect this information and sell it to internet marketing companies. If you want to avoid spam email, don't use a simple 'email me' link.
Contact forms keep your email address private and hidden from online scavengers while still allowing for your customers to email you with ease. "Also, you may want to collect additional information by creating fields such as "company name", "position", etc.

You can use a form builder like Paperform to create a branded and interactive form that embeds into your website.
5. Don't just settle
Let's face it, many business owners are cheap. Frankly, if they weren't cheap (for goodwill, we'll use the word 'frugal'), they wouldn't ever be able to run a successful business. Every good business owner knows that the essence of running a successful company is to ensure that revenue outweighs expenditures.
When it comes to building a web site for a business, it's important to avoid settling for whatever is the cheapest, fastest, or easiest. If you run your business from a brick and mortar store, you wouldn't settle for a run-down, back-alley, closet-sized building to do business from. Location is everything.
It's the same on the internet.
Don't settle for a free website builder that bombards your site with advertisements or tacks their name to the beginning of your site name. Having a site like the following ones can decrease your credibility and hurt your business.
A business web site is an investment so treat it like one. Invest in some good hosting, register a unique domain name, and hire a web designer to design and code a web site you can be proud of. If you can't hire a designer, at least find a quality diy website builder you can work with.
6. Take your time
7. Include a Search Form
While this might only apply to sites that are content-heavy, it is usually a good idea to include a search option on your site. Depending on the purpose of your site, most visitors will already have a goal in mind when they arrive at your site. Make it easy for them to find what they are looking for by including a search form in an easy-to-find location.
8. Invest in Search Engine Optimization
The most common way for people to find content on the internet is to search for it using Google, Yahoo!, Bing, or similar search engines. If you want to be found when people are searching for the services or products you provide, make sure you take some time to invest in professional search engine optimization (SEO).
Of course, keep in mind the purpose of your site as discovered in step one of this process. If the only reason your site exists is to cater to current customers who have already visited your store, perhaps all you really need is a business card with your site name printed on it.
9. Keep things consistent
Customers like consistency. Just because you like the look of other web sites doesn't mean it necessarily best reflects your company. Again, let's return to the first two steps in this Build a Better Business Website guide. Step one: define your purpose and Step two: Consider the audience. The site design should be consistent with the needs, styles, understanding, and lifestyle of the target audience.
Once you decide on a specific look for your site, make it consistent throughout the site. Don't change colors, fonts, organization, or other vital elements unless you have a solid purpose behind the changes.
10. Analyze your site
Once your new business web site is up and running, you should begin to analyze your site's traffic. There are thousands of great analytic tools out there for web site owners (many of which are free) that will help you see if you are achieving the purposes you defined in step one of this guide.
11. Be Patient
Having success on the internet is not an overnight occurrence. After your site is up and running, be patient and watch closely. Remember that to achieve success, you must first define it. If you have done everything according to plan and have followed the steps in this short guide, you will begin to see success on your business' web site.

Both the peach relish and the pork benefit from an overnight rest in the refrigerator; the relish mellows in flavor, and the pork becomes even more tender in the fiery marinade.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- Active Time
- 50 min
- Total Time
- 10 hr (includes chilling and marinating)
- For relish
- 1 1/2 lb firm-ripe peaches
- 1/2 lb tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion (1 medium)
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- For pork
- 3 scallions (white and pale green parts only), trimmed
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
- 1 teaspoon Scotch bonnet or habanero hot sauce*, or to taste
- 2 pork tenderloins (1 3/4 to 2 lb total)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for basting
- Special Equipment
- an instant-read thermometer
- Make relish:
- Cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach and tomato with a sharp paring knife and blanch in 2 batches in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling water 10 seconds. Transfer peaches and tomatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peaches and tomatoes, then halve peaches lengthwise and pit. Cut peaches into 1-inch pieces. Coarsely chop tomatoes.
- Cook onion, ginger, and salt in oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add peaches and tomatoes with any juices, sugar, and lime juice and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and peaches are tender but still hold their shape, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
- Marinate pork:
- Combine scallions, thyme, salt, allspice, pepper, lime juice, molasses, and hot sauce in a blender and blend until smooth. Put pork in a nonreactive dish and rub all over with marinade. Marinate, covered and chilled, turning occasionally, 8 hours. Bring to room temperature before grilling.
- Grill pork:
- Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.
- Discard any marinade remaining in dish, then brush pork lightly with oil and grill on a lightly oiled grill rack, turning occasionally and basting frequently with oil, until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 145°F, 15 to 25 minutes.
- Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to about 155°F.) Serve pork with relish.
- Grilling Procedure
- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
- Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
- Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
- Low: 5 to 6 seconds
- If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
- *Available at most supermarkets and kitchenmarket.com.
Cooks' notes:
• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, pork can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large ridged grill pan until thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 145°F, 15 to 25 minutes. • Relish can be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
