Using ProSelect with Adobe Lightroom
While ProSelect requires Photoshop to automate the Hi-res Production of images, layouts and book pages, Lightroom can be used as an initial raw image processor for preparing image for ProSelect and also for some retouching functions on final images.
Working with RAW Images
Because ProSelect doesn't read raw images, you need to create either .jpg, .tif or .psd versions for loading into ProSelect. The simplest way to do this is by setting your camera to shoot raw+jpg.
Alternatively you can use other software, such as Lightroom, to convert your camera's raw images into one of these formats. ProSelect's Lightroom plugin includes an export function that automatically do this as it loads images to a ProSelect Album file.
Important: Your raw images and their associated .jpg (or .tif or .psd) files should be all kept in the same folder so that ProSelect can locate the raws if you wish to open them in Lightroom or Photoshop while you are working in ProSelect.
Setting up ProSelect to work with RAW images
Open ProSelect's Preferences and select the Importing tab.
In the Adding Images section, check the Link/Bypass RAW images with extensions checkbox AND make sure that the file extension for the raw images from your camera is in one of the three boxes.
Setting up ProSelect to work with Lightroom 3+
To use ProSelect with Lightroom 3 or newer, you need ProSelect 2012r1.4 or newer.
- Tell ProSelect that you are using Lightroom 3+ in ProSelect's Preferences -> General Settings -> General -> Photo Editor.
- Download and the free ProSelect Plugin for Lightroom from the ProSelect downloads page.
- Install it into Lightroom using the instructions in this movie.
The Plugin will then enable you to
- Export selected raw images from Lightroom into a new or existing ProSelect Album
- Open the associated raw files in Lightroom from selected images in ProSelect
ProSelect Lightroom Plugin Export Window
More information
You will find more information in how to install and use the ProSelect Plug-in for Lightroom 3 in the ProSelect Reference manual (v 2012r2.1 and newer). Check for the Lightroom Plugin section near the end.
Current Plug-in version
The current version of the ProSelect Plug-in for Lightroom is 2.0.1
Setting up ProSelect to work with Lightroom 1 or 2
In earlier versions of ProSelect you simply selected Lightroom as the default Raw File Editor in ProSelect's Preferences -> General Settings -> General -> Photo Editor.
In newer versions of ProSelect, choose Lightroon 1 or 2 (see previous image).
This allows you to open selected images in Lightroom from within ProSelect.

When we spotted AGENT's amazing EOSkate paper skateboard over on Core77, we just had to share it with you. Brothers Mauricio and Sebastian Lara from EOS México received hundreds of extra books when they were working on a new commemorative volume, so they invited 11 designers to find a cool new purpose for them - including Alberto Villarreal and the rest of the AGENT team. Villarreal explains that they experimented with the 6-10 books they received for a while before finally deciding to turn the colorful pages into fully-functioning paper skateboards.
Villarreal detailed the steps involved when he and his team in Mexico decided to transforms the book's colorful pages into the EOSkate. First, they cut and folded the pages, which they used to create various gradients and patterns. In order to "freeze" these designs, they stuck them in a bath of resin.
They then made a mold from a standard wooden skateboard, careful to match up their patterns with the dimensions and size. They created several such prototypes until they were satisfied with the results. The other designers invited to participate in this interesting experiment include Ariel Rojo, Cecilia León de la Barra, Emiliano Godoy, Héctor Esrawe, Jorge Moreno, Marcela Compeán, Mariano García, Ricardo Casas, Giovanni Estrada, and José Alfredo Silva.

I've had a lot of requests to share my birth story, so I finally took some time to write it all down and share with all of you the story of how little Lucy was born.
Lucy Toyoko Zvanut was born on October 13, 2016 at 4:43am at San Francisco General Hospital. She weighed in at 6.2oz and was 19 1/4 inches long. She was born a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Here's the story of how we got there…
When I was in labor, my husband kept telling me to remember the breathing exercises we learned during our labor class. But all I could think was "SCREW YOUR BREATHING TECHNIQUES!!!!" I couldn't concentrate on anything, let alone breathing properly.
I know it must have been frustrating for him, spending so much money on all those labor and newborn care classes, just to be told to screw off when trying to use them. He was being so sweet and helpful, but I couldn't help but be annoyed at everything he said. He has no idea the pain I was in, I kept thinking to myself. Trying to not scream and stay calm and collective was the last thing on my mind. I didn't care that people all the way down the hallway could hear me screaming the F word. I was in so much pain and I just wanted it to stop!
I was trying to hold off on pain meds as long as possible, but as soon as I decided to lay down, I couldn't handle the pain anymore! (I don't know how woman do it naturally, you are a beast!) I was having contractions since early that morning, it was now 7pm, and had been able to control myself until then. But laying down just activated the horrible back labor pains. The pain, my God. Once that epidural kicked in, it was smooth sailing. But now I'm just getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.
It was about 6:30am on October 13th. I lay in bed sleeping, only to gradually wake up to intense cramping pain. (My due date was October 18th.) I had been to the doctor the day before for a routine checkup and wasn't dilated at all, so I didn't really consider the fact that I was going into labor. Instead, I just continued to lay there trying to sleep, tossing and turning every time my cramps started back up. I was in and out of sleep for a couple hours when the pain was becoming worse. That's when it finally dawned on me that this could be contractions. I started paying more attention to the pain and starting timing them. At this point, it was almost 9am and my contractions were about 15 minutes apart. So I texted a few important people (my husband, my parents, a few close friends) and got out of bed to take a bath and wait. My husband quickly responded and wanted to rush home right away, but I told him not to because they weren't that bad or close enough together to do anything about yet. I really didn't want to be that mom who walked into the hospital way too early, just to be told to go back home and wait. So I waited.
I finished packing my hospital bag, ate a snack and tried to tidy up the house a bit. By now it was almost 10:30am and my contractions were still about 13-14 minutes apart and still not very intense. I tried to do stuff around the house to distract myself and wait it out. Around 2pm is when my contractions started to pick up. They started getting more intense and were now about 10-12 minutes apart. Still not close enough to make a move. So I continued to wait. Meanwhile, my husband is texting me nonstop asking me a hundred questions and wondering if he should come home yet, but I kept insisting no. Around 4pm he finally told me he was packing up for the day and catching the bus home. At this point, my contractions were still about 10 minutes apart and still only mild. I started to make some dinner for us, bracing myself on the kitchen counter during every contraction. About 30 minutes later, I called my husband to check to see where he was. He said he was just waiting for the second bus (his work is in an odd location so he unfortunately has to take two buses, poor guy.) That's when I told him to screw the bus and get in an Uber, shit was getting really real over here.
I could no longer concentrate on cooking, so I left half cooked food on the stove top and was trying to wait patiently for my husband to arrive. One he did, I was still bracing myself on the kitchen counter waiting for a contraction to pass. The funny thing about contractions, you feel SO awful during them, but pretty normal in between them. So needless to say, after the contraction ended, I felt like I was okay to keep waiting. My contractions were still 6-8 minutes apart and only 30 seconds long. I kept thinking about the 5-1-1 rule and really didn't want to arrive to the hospital too early. So around 5:30 or so, I finally decided that it was time, and we packed up the car to head to the hospital. While we were driving, I kept going in and out of contractions, debating if I was really ready or going in too early because my contractions were still only 20-30 seconds long. By now, they were coming every 5 minutes or so, but I was so stuck on the stupid 5-1-1 rule, that I kept second guessing myself. My husband was being so patient but insisted that we continue on to the hospital anyway. And thank God we did.
Once we arrived at the hospital, we walked into the maternity ward and was checked in. The first question they asked, "Is this your first baby?" It was, and the nurses all just assumed I was overreacting and not quite far enough along. But they weren't super busy, so they got us a room so they could check me out. I was only dilated 2cm but my contractions were coming every 1-2 minutes now and were lasting anywhere from 30-60 seconds. It was intense, to say the least. I kept walking around the room until I couldn't handle it anymore, and that's when I decided to get into bed. As soon as I did (literally minutes after) I started getting more intense contractions and back labor pains. That's when my water broke. We had only been at the hospital for maybe 20 minutes, so I'm glad we got there when we did! At that point, they admitted me. I tried to wait for pain meds as long as I could, but the pain was too intense and I had to give in. (I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but apparently not when it comes to labor pains! Holy hell!)
I was that woman in the hospital screaming bloody murder and yelling at the nurses to give me more meds. At first I tried fentanyl, but it didn't even touch the pain. It did however help me stay still long enough to get the epidural. Once the epidural kicked in, things got much easier. Unfortunately, I ended up getting super itchy and nauseous from the pain meds, so they had to give me stuff for both. Thankfully I am not too much of a modest person, because I ended up ripping all my clothes off in a fit trying to not itch through my skin and sweat. My contractions were coming almost every minute but I still wasn't dilated much. So around 8pm they set the drugs and monitors and said they'd be back to check on me around 2am. So we watched some TV, ate some food, then actually took a nap for a few hours. I have to admit, it wasn't all that bad!
When 2am came around, in came all the nurses. I still wasn't dilated enough, so they decided to try Pitocin. Everything started to pick up pretty quickly then. I'm not even entirely sure how much later on it was, but I was finally dilated enough to start pushing. All the doctors and doula came rushing in, and quite honestly, I was not ready for it yet! I had just been napping not that long ago, and now It was finally show time. It all came so quickly! My heart start racing but I had to pull up my big girl panties and listen to the doctors. It was go time and there was no turning back.
The doula came to my side and started instructing me to breath and start pushing. She was the best, with her cold wash clothes that she kept putting on my forehead and her words of engorgement. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her there. If you don't plan on having a doula in the delivery room with you, you should really reconsider. SF General provided one for free and she was amazing. Check with the hospital or birthing center you're planning to deliver at and see what options you may have regarding a doula. I highly recommend one!
My husband was on one leg, a male nurse on the other. I joke with my husband about how the male nurse's touch was so much more comforting than his. Probably because he's helped deliver many babies and knew exactly what to do, but my husband's convinced it's because he was gay. Whatever it was, I liked him and could care less. So the doctor continued to tell Aaron what to do to help and I continued to push. I pushed a few times and was doing a pretty good job, but it wasn't progressing as fast as she would have hoped. We tried the birthing bar and pulling on a sheet for leverage, but it wasn't really helping. She instructed for me to push harder, but it was hard to even tell how much I was pushing with the epidural.
That's when they started wheeling in carts of medical procedure supplies and I started to freak out. I frantically told the doula to not them use any of the scary contraptions on me and my baby. She calmly told me that I need to concentrate on pushing and get the baby out quickly and I wouldn't have to worry about any of that. So needless to say, I put all my effort into pushing. I did not want to have to use a vacuum or anything crazy. Little did I know that after just several pushes, it had already been over 2 hours! It's crazy how fast time went by that night.
I continued to push a couple more times and Lucy's head started to show. The doctor asked if I wanted to see it in a mirror or touch her head (which already had tons of hair on it!). I had no interest in any of that, no thank you. Although, looking back, I kind of wish I would have looked in the mirror quickly, but we'll save that for next time! She told me to keep pushing, then I put so much effort into pushing that she had to tell me to calm down for a second so she could prepare for the final push. Our doctor was a tiny woman (less than 5 ft) and when the time came, she just got right in between my legs and prepared for the final push. She yelled at me to push hard and within seconds I had a tiny baby girl on my chest. The beautiful moment was so lovely, right up until she pooped ALL over me. It was lovely. Welcome baby Lucy.
Afterwards, I nursed her and had skin to skin contact. They took her back and cleaned her up a little bit then handed her off to Aaron for some daddy skin to skin. All of a sudden this giant light, that looked like a space ship, came down from the ceiling panel and the brightest light ever beamed down, right between my legs. Again, it's a good thing I am not a modest person. I feel bad for the women who are. Labor must be terrible with everyone all up in your business. And to even think about wearing clothes the entire labor, forget that. Thankfully, I had brought my own pillow and super soft blanket (I am a sucker for a soft blanket) to comfort me. I went to Ross a couple weeks earlier and got a cheap pillow and blanket to bring along, just in case things got messy, I didn't want to bring my own that I use at home. It was so comforting having those few items. I even brought a long night shirt that said "Busy Doing Nothing", which I thought was a clever shirt to be wearing during labor. Of course, that didn't last very long, but oh well.
Honestly, I found most the things I brought with me in my hospital bag went unused. I am one to always be prepared for any situation, so I had a lot of extra stuff with me. But I was so caught up in everything that I didn't have a chance to use much of it. I was most thankful for my pillow and blanket, as I mentioned before, and my slippers. I also brought along my own towel (since the hospital towels are tiny) and my own toiletries. It was nice to have some familiar stuff in such a hectic time. Using my own shampoo and face wash was very pleasant and made recovery much easier for me.
So after checking me out down there, the doctor let's me know they were finished. And let me tell you, the best words you will ever hear in your entire life: "You're fully in-tacked!" Woot!! No tearing or stitches for this lady!! I was so incredibly happy to hear those words. I was most scared of bad tearing and stitches. Not only do you have to deal with the pain of the stitches, but stitches start to itch once they're healing, and that just does not sound like any fun.
Lucy was so little (at just 6.2 oz) and felt so fragile. I was still kind of high off medication and just super exhausted and fatigued, that I honestly wasn't 100% comfortable holding her yet. After all, Lucy was the first baby I have ever really held, at least in my adult years. I was so new to all of this and I was so nervous and scared. I didn't want to break her!
So it was finally over and things have settled down. Most the nurses and doctors had left and was just us, our new little family. I think we were both still in shock some and just kept staring at our beautiful baby girl. We had both waited so long for this moment, it was hard to believe it was actually here. Together at last!
I nursed her right away, but the entire time I kept nodding off and was having a hard time concentrating and being present. I was so exhausted and the drugs were still effecting me, and I couldn't stop worrying about dropping her or hurting her fragile little neck. As soon as I got done nursing, I asked for them to take her so I could rest for a little bit. The entire time I could tell the nurses were judging me slightly for not wanting to hold my baby. I am so thankful for my husband being there and understanding and helping me get my rest before pressuring me to hold her. It's not that I didn't want to hold her or that I wasn't totally in love with her like the nurse thought, I just wanted to be more clear headed and physically stable before holding such a tiny baby. Luckily my husband totally understood and helped me explain that.
After I took a nap, ate some food (the first thing I wanted after giving birth was a delicious turkey deli sandwich! I had been craving one for literally 9 months) and took a shower, I was ready to hold my baby! At this point I felt so much better and comfortable and couldn't get enough of our baby. Although I was still quite awkward holding her and especially trying to nurse her, but I got the hang of it quickly. We visited with Aaron's parents and had a couple friends stop by in the hospital. It's funny how quickly time passes when you're in a hospital (or for me at least). Those first two days went by so quickly. Maybe it was sleep deprivation or just excitement, but whatever it was, time flew by. I was ready to go home right away, so as soon as they gave me the go ahead, we were out of there.
My delivery was really easy and my recovery even easier. I actually feel some what bad when I tell some of my mom friends my story, knowing that they had a difficult labor and recovery. I was up walking around the hospital (we would walk up and down the hallways of the hospital pushing Lucy in her bassinet because it's the furthest they would let us go) because I couldn't just sit in our room and do nothing. I was ready to go, ready to get moving. They kept telling me to take it easy, but I have never been one to take it easy. I honestly never really felt like I had a baby. The most of the pain was in my arms and back from straining so much during contractions. The rest, it just felt like we had a lot of crazy sex, but I never really did feel like I pushed a baby out! (Sorry if that's too much information, but it's the truth!) Of course I was a little sore, but that was about it. I was really lucky. (I guess it's true what they say about having a bad pregnancy or a bad labor, not usually both. My pregnancy was tough, so it only seems fair my delivery was easier!) All the nurses kept calling me Super Woman and telling me I should have more babies, because clearly I was just meant to have babies. I think we'll wait a while before that though!
A couple days later we finally got to go home. Putting Lucy in the car seat for the first time was so exciting. Seeing her itty bitty body in the car seat was too much. We couldn't wait to get her home. We drove so slowly and carefully home that afternoon and I just couldn't take my eyes off her.
Having Lucy was one of the most beautiful, crazy, and intense experiences of my life, but I wouldn't change anything about it. I love looking back at the photos of Lucy when she was a newborn and reminiscing about that night. Pregnancy and labor is truly a magical thing and I'm so happy I got to experience it and I look forward to the next time, whenever that might be. (No rush!)

The National Association of Dental Laboratories released an FDA alert for members regarding the use of CAD/CAM for in-house milling of most abutments. The alert states that laboratories are not permitted to use CAD/CAM for in-house milling of most abutments:
FDA Alert - Labs not permitted to use CAD/CAM for in-lab milling of most abutments
When FDA began studying the use of CAD/CAM in dental laboratory technology, the FDA's initial focus was on angulation and the implant/abutment interface. FDA ultimately made clear statements that anyone making the implant/abutment interface is a "manufacturer" as such must obtain 510(k) clearance to do so.
That still did not answer the questions about the "tooth end" of the abutment, the abutment collar/post. Sometime later FDA ultimately stated a dental laboratory may mill the collar/post as long as the dental laboratory follows the manufacturer's FDA cleared instructions.
Now, nearly two years later, there is still only one manufacturer that has obtained FDA clearance for their in-lab CAD/CAM milling instructions for their abutment collar/post. FDA's recent communications have alerted us to what this means for dental laboratories:
Currently FDA enforcement efforts seem to primarily consist of sending compliance letters to manufacturers as their website marketing is brought to FDA's attention.

I have a confession. I've met someone. As a matter of fact, I met them a very long time ago and we've only just rekindled our relationship. It's not you, it's me; I'm timid and I need someone that's willing to steer the ship and make the hard decisions. I've had enough passive aggressiveness to fill two lifetimes, and the re-emergence of this person has reminded me that there are still people willing to grab the bull by the horns and do what's got to be done no matter what.
Her name is Amanda Waller, and I love her.
The problem with "the greater good," however noble, is that the ramifications for our heroes and general citizenry of the DCU are catastrophic. Most recently in DC's New 52, Waller is in direct control of Task Force X – better known as the Suicide Squad – a covert team of super villains given the chance to earn immunity by handling suicidal top secret missions. Additionally, she's responsible for the creation of the Justice League of America, a team put together to directly oppose the independently formed Justice League (consisting of Superman et al) in case they ever go rogue.
All of this is to say that Waller is a connective thread that touches all aspects of the DC Universe. Not unlike Marvel's Nick Fury, in a way, though Waller is far less likely to work with the super powered community than she is to manipulate them to working for her. She pulls the trigger, but she rarely holds the gun. Just yesterday, it was revealed that Waller and A.R.G.U.S. (Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-Humans) – a new addition to the comics under the command of Waller that was used as a liaison between the government and the Justice League – will be making an appearance in Arrow. No casting news to speak of, but the fact the show is incorporating Waller and A.R.G.U.S. (in addition to Barry Allen) could be very telling.
Amanda Waller is #60 in IGN's Top 100 Super Villains List
Going off the theory that I've expressed repeatedly in this column that Arrow will ultimately connect to Man of Steel and help build Warner Brothers' shared superhero universe, Waller could act as the liaison, as it were, between the two mediums. Essentially, Waller could be WB's Agent Coulson; a character that is able to float between the many different properties as the one uniting factor. There's been no actor cast yet, but I'd bet that whoever it is would be someone of mid-level status with previous success on both television and film, so as to be malleable for an appearance in either medium.
Add into the equation that Arrow hasn't dealt directly with super powers – we assume Flash will be the first appearance of super powers, but perhaps not the first mention of them – and the inclusion of Waller and A.R.G.U.S. is even more noteworthy. Sure, it could all just be a glorified cameo; Waller appeared in Smallville, too, but that was before there was any inkling of a shared cinematic universe on the table. I'd be shocked if this character, whose whole existence is centered around being a behind-the-scenes driving force of the DC Universe, didn't play directly into the evolving DC franchise at Warner Brothers.
Though WB is behind Disney in terms of building a massive superhero world, they have one advantage that Disney will never have: the entire stable of DC characters as opposed to just a select few. It'd be absurd not to take advantage of a hit TV show and a hit movie and pool your resources.
With a renewed importance in the current comics and Arrow taking a cue from continuity with the introduction of A.R.G.U.S., there's no better character to unify all of the elements than The Wall herself.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs St Lucia Zouks 6th Match Match Summary Highlights :- The St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots registered their maiden in the Hero Carribean Premiere League 2016 when to they had faced St. Lucia Zouks in the recently match. They not only won the match but even raised their Net Run Rate as they thrashed the Darren Sammy's led side by 58 runs.
The match started with Dareen Sammy won the toss and asked the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots to bat first. Then, Lendl Simmons along with his opening partner Evan Lewis walked out to bat.
They gave their team a blistering start and crossed the fifty run stand, and then Lendl Simmons throws his wicket after scoring 30 runs.
Then Faf Du Plessis joined hands with the Evin Lewis to take the scorecard to a massive total. Meanwhile, Evin Lewis was hitting the ball brilliantly , on the other side Du Plessis was suffering to score runs and finally got out on 9 by the brilliant bowling of Morne Morkel.
Devon Thomas then combined the partnership with the Evin Lewis to take the scorecard ticking. Soon , after Evin Lewis score his first CPL fifty of this season and was looking set to score big run.
Both these pairs crossed the 50 run partnership, and runs were flowing from the bat of both these west Indian batsman.
Then Evin Lewis got out after scoring magnificent 73 off just 36 balls and after that other batsman tried to help Devon Thomas to score big runs.
Rest of the batsman was not able to score bigger runs except Devon Thomas who score quickfire 48 runs off just 27 balls and took the scorecard to 203-7 (20 over).
From the St. Lucia Zouks Watson took the 3 wickets and Morne Morkel, Sammy and Derone Davis took one wicket each.
Now, it was the turn of the St. Lucia Zouks to chase down the mammoth total of 2013 and for that Shane Watson and Johnson, Charles took the responsibility for chasing 2013.
And somehow they gave their team a much-needed start and at one-time scoreboard was at 90 for no wicket.
But suddenly collapse started for St. Lucia Zouks when Charles failed to read the Badree leg spin and gave his wicket for 40 runs and after that Watson also went back to Pavillion after his magnificent 51 runs and then rest of the batting unit of this team failed to take the responsibility to take their team to victory.
And the likes of David Miler, Darren Sammy, and Andre Fletcher failed to contribute and Michale Hussey was not out at the end on 22 off 29 balls.
St. Lucia Zouks was settled for the score of 145-5 (20 over) and this helps the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots to register their maiden win for this tournament.
Evin Lewis was declared Man of the Match for his brilliant 73 runs.

Man, finding the command-line interface (CLI) management tool for the Dell PERC 5/i controller is a maze of twisty little passages… Because Dell doesn't actually have the download for it, despite grabbing nearly a GB worth of stuff that sounded close. So, to seed the google…
The Dell PERC 5/i controller is actually an LSI Logic based controller, and you need to go to the LSI Logic site and grab the "MegaCLI" program from their support section for the "MegaRAID SAS 8408E" card. This one seems to work with that controller.
The magic really seems to be going to the LSI site and searching for the 8408E model MegaRAID card.comments powered by Disqus

Mention Bicol and the word "hot" easily comes to mind. Hot, as in the lava that flows from Mayon Volcano. Hot, as in the steam that spews out from the geothermal fields of Albay. Hot, as in the men and women who, if we go by surveys and statistics, seem to have no regard for family planning. Hot, as in the siling labuyo (bird's eye chili) that grows in just about every backyard, ready for the picking.
I don't know exactly why, but the Bicolano tongue seems to have a higher "spicy" threshold. Sinigang (sour soup) isn't complete without its dip of siling labuyo crushed in fish sauce. Grilled fish is a bore without the requisite soy sauce spiked with sili. Even veggies–especially if they're swimming in coconut milk–have a certain bite to them. A bite that will send the non-initiate running for a glass of water.
My tolerance for the hot and the spicy did not manifest until when I was already out of Bicol. Call it the latent Bicolano in me, but I never really thought that I have the "hot" tongue. Until my dormmates pointed out that my soup seem to be hotter than theirs. Or that my dip is a lot spicier. Or that I seem so happy wiping the sweat off my brow while eating spicy ginataang santol.
The sisters and the cousins who have since moved elsewhere are one in saying that they miss the sinus-clearing cuisine of home. Talk about scorching, but we do pride ourselves in eating Bicol Express, a truly fiery concoction where the chili is not merely flavor enhancer but main ingredient. It's one dish that is definitely not for the faint of heart: I have seen one too many first-timers getting all teary and sweaty.
There are, of course, tamer versions of the fabled Bicol Express (which, I believe is named for the train that used to penetrate the heart of Bicol) with a lot more meat than chili. There are also the pinangat and the laing–both made from taro leaves. For me though, and for most of the fire-eating Bicolanos, it has to be hot, hot, really hot.
