our four-step process is very unique. it is basically a straightforward process that is really concentrated on creating results. one of the things that we do is we work with caltrans to take a look at the opportunity to take a look at the various contracts from $1,000 of the way up to $10 million, and once we determine what -- determine what these opportunities are, then we go to the second step, which is when we go to her and bring her entire team in. what is unique about this process is that, one, we take a look at the national data base. we take a look at the state database and match them up with the opportunities, so we can be able to pair the two together or help so they can sort through who would be the best teams. third, once we actually go through that particular process, our third process -- we go through it basically doing the outreach. $50 million itself. 300 people showed up, small businesses. we were proud to be a part of a fact that this was a contract, which was forgetting others to participate. finally, an

because of that creativity, i knew that he could come up with something unique. i love the fact that he was specifically addressing the landscape around here, and it was also about the human interaction with this place. >> what are your expectations with the people coming to presidio habitat? >> we really hope people will come with their family, dogs, and come back a number of times the works will change over the year. the feedback we are getting is you cannot do all of them on one visit. it is really better to come back and have different experiences. >> thank you. i am with mark jensen of jensen architect. he was one of the architects to be chosen to do the presidio habitat. when you heard about this project, what inspired you about that call? >> our inspiration is a great blue heron. it was the site itself that attracted us. this is an incredibly beautiful outdoor room. we did a bit of reverse engineering once we knew we wanted to work here. which animals live here? the great blue heron jumped out at us. we walked around, and quickly, you get into another pace

an even more unique taste. >> tangy...earthy... and pleasant flavor. but you've got to get used to it, to the texture more than anything. the texture is the most challenging thing in the cactus. but if you execute it like the way i do it, you will not have a problem. if you can, salt it prior to order, because if you add salt to it, it releases all of the stuff that it's inside of the flesh, the liquid, and you don't want that. so just prior to serve, season it with salt. the best way to play witthis is just, you know, let them boil for a few minutes. once they get dark, they're pretty much ready. and then you have to very much cool them off before you roast them or grill them. >> with a soft but crunchy texture that also becomes a bit sticky when cooked, kind of like okra, edible cactus tastes similar to a slightly tart green bean or even green pepper. chef hernandez recommends grilling them so the leaves stay crisp and not soggy. and he uses them in a variety of ways, from a salad to a sauce to a cacti sorbet which, along with a

and a uniquely, physically isolated location in the bay, in the city of san francisco. that makes it very different than the other similarly scaled projects of mission bay and hunters point shipyard where there are neighborhoods right next to them, literally, physically to support them. and in my mind that's a critical thing that really is crucial when considering the environmental consequences of what we are doing. i have looked to find out details of the population of this future new small city we are building in the bay. and i could find a number of 18,000-some in the public services section but i couldn't find anything else about who they might be in that location. looking around you could find the school-aged population, but i couldn't find a preschool population, i couldn't find a senior pope pew lation, i didn't see estimates -- population, i didn't see estimates for lower income households or housing. i couldn't get a handle on who is going to live there. i also could not find, although it problem-l exists, where they would work. i was really curious how many wo

a set of recommendations with a healthy and sustainable long- term management of san francisco's unique urban parks. let me describe to you that sustainable to me means we will enjoy our parks today and we will not compromise the ability of our children to enjoy those parks in the future. that means of the aesthetic and environmental, ecological benefits today will not be jeopardized and we will enhance it so our kids have the same experience. i think you have heard many times people speak about the unique urban forests that we have in san francisco, which is a largely planted forest, almost exclusively, and in a large parts that have a dominant tree canopy, that was the planting that occurred in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. i am sure that you have heard many times we are dominated by small number of species from all across the world, but we have a relatively small number of species that formed the dominant canopy of our parks. you may recall when i was here in february i described a native plant as being here when the spanish arrived in 1769, and that is really the defining poi

over the centuries water and wind have crafted unique mountain landscapes. many of them are hidden from the inquisitive eyes of tourists. only the staff of the nature reserve are aware of their location. if ever that part of this will file is called the ring is a unique natural feature of this century. the river has broken through limestone beds here to make a hole in the shape of a ring there was a reflector that it forms a rainbow. waterfalls like this one are rare not only in the caucasus but in the entire world the stone is about two metres wide. its broadest part consists of three layers of limestone the age of the rock is estimated between one hundred and one hundred twenty million years. or more that's . absolutely. i would say it's the standard for natural water. in the limestone of the kerry range there also is crystal clear up to filtering through many kilometers of limestone not over. the kenyon with rock terraces grados and knishes begins right under the ring waterfall it took the car to go on mountain stream. thousands of years to force its way

so clinicians as well as consumers need to be aware that this is a unique drug with unique properties and needs to be administered by a knowledgeable practitioner so the adverse events don't occur. i suspect that some of the deaths that occur particularly in the earlier period of methadone was indeed trying to get that patient regulated appropriately, is that correct? well the most important part of treating a patient is during the induction phase. i mean probably the most significant decisions that are made when a patient appears to a treatment program to be considered for treatment is do you admit the patient or do you not admit the patient. both decisions have consequences on the individual's life. but once you admit the patient, during that first three weeks to four weeks of treatment, the patient goes through a very important induction period as the dosage is being individually titrated to the patient's specific needs. too little medication is inadequate and will not respond to the patient's problems, and therefore they will continue to use other drugs. too much medication too so
