Stainless steel…granite countertops…what’s next?

My mid-priced apartment complex is now refurbishing its apartments with stainless steel appliances.
Now that stainless steel and granite countertops are becoming mainstream, what are the high-end kitchens using for appliances and countertop surfaces these days?
Wood. It can be abused, re-sanded, and re-finished very cheaply. It’s made to be used and loves to be abused. (I asked!)
I suppose one could say the same for granite, but I haven’t tried sanding that in a while, and I wonder how it treats knives.

The EDGE

admin — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 11:46:20 +0000

The EDGE (Earning Dignity, Gaining Employment) provides comprehensive daytime support services to homeless men and women in our community who are seeking employment. The focus of The EDGE is unique — we challenge homeless men and women to develop their own job search strategies and hold them accountable for taking advantage of every opportunity to change their current circumstances.

We only work with individuals who are serious about leaving homelessness and ready to commit to a plan of action for rebuilding their lives.
Why The EDGE Is Needed
Finding employment is a daunting task for anyone, but when you’re homeless it’s an even bigger challenge. Without access to telephones, a mailing address, and transportation assistance, a job search is impossible. Additionally, without a shower, clean clothes, and a full stomach, a successful job interview is unlikely.

The EDGE provides all the resources a homeless person needs to plan and carry out a successful job search. All participants are held accountable for meeting regularly with their employment counselor, attending workshops, and actively searching for employment.

The result – nearly 50% percent of our guests
find employment within 3-4 months!
