Stainless cable railing is a wise alternative over current glass hand rail systems that are likely to get dirty over the years. If you prefer being economical than a wood picket system would likely and have to be your first choice but bear in mind you get what you pay for and wood, even cedar and pressure treated wood, still dry rots.

Consider the aluminum hand railing system by Stainless Cable & Railing if preparing an outdoor or indoor deck. Within the rainy tip of the US in Vancouver Washington, Stainless Cable Railing offers, makes and ships modular aluminum railing systems that are quick to install to professional builders as well as first time DIYers. Thorough setup guidelines come with all hand rail systems Stainless Cable Railing that ship so that companies or do it yourselfers can correctly carry out.

All purchases are accompanied with highly “easy-to-use” installation suggestions that any property owner, DIYer or journeyman company can and will recognize. The Aluminum hand rail systems provided by Stainless Cable Railing can be found in a number of variants/tones black, white, clay and most recently bronze. The primary point you might want to be aware of Stainless Cable Railings aluminum hand rail systems is that not just do they come predrilled for the stainless steel cable rail, but that the terminal or end posts have been strengthened with a patent pending webbing designed into the post to enhance the all around durability of the post. The increased webbing helps protect from bending when over tightening the cable railing wire occurs during the set up procedure on the cable rail wire rope at the post ends.

This was an issue that kept going on frequently not only with the average home owner but builders would make the same mistake. Inattentive contractors would easily over turn the nut at the fittings end and this is able to pretty much bend or bow an aluminum post and forever miss shape it. There was clearly also a dilemma with the hole location for the predrilled posts that Stainless Cable & Railing has remedied. Nearly all states in the US require a maximal of 4 in between each picket and/or cable rail. The rationale with this spacing is to stop small kids from sticking their heads between the picket or cable rail and without thought find themselves ensnared and or hurt.

Obviously if 4 inches is the minimum spacing essential for a last inspection than one would consider that you would need to drill the holes 4 inches on center on the cable railing post. There will always be some type of slack or play no matter how tight you got that cable wire unto the post. If an fervent construction inspector grabs hold of any 2 cable wires next to each other, between each post, and slightly pulls the cable rail apart, the inspector can easily get just as much as 5-6 inches of space between the cable wires. This might most certainly fail any outdoor patio inspection.

To insure no inspector will fail your deck rail based on a 4 inch on center rule Stainless Cable & Railings has started to basically pre-drill post holes on 3 inches oc to ideally take care of this matter from ever coming up. This method indicates you would probably be having a few additional holes in our posts. This sums to close to 2 (residential) to 3 (commercial) extra stainless cable railing wire ropes per system.

Low Country Jazz Festival Lineup 2012 Has Star Power and Musical Variety

North Charleston, SC – February 3, 2012 – The man whose unique vocal style is called “one of the world’s most precious treasures” will headline the 4th annual Low Country Jazz Festival this summer. Al Jarreau’s innovative musical expressions have earned him seven Grammy® Awards, scores of international music awards and popular accolades worldwide.

Perhaps best known for singing the Grammy-nominated theme song of the 1985 television series Moonlighting, Jarreau has received a Star on the “Hollywood Walk of Fame” commemorating his status as one of the best singers of his generation.

The expanded 3-day weekend of jazz music also features a slate of top contemporary instrumentalists of all types, including saxmen Gerald Albright and Ronnie Laws, pianist Alex Bugnon, guitarists Norman Brown and Matt Marshak and local favorite, trumpeter Charlton Singleton, conductor of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. Additional artists are still being confirmed.

“It is my sincere hope that the Low country Jazz Festival will continue as a major source of enjoyment for contemporary jazz lovers in our community. Our main purpose however is to raise funds for the Thaddeus John Bell endowment fund for African American students at The Medical University of South Carolina and to annually fund our radio health tips to improve the health literacy of African Americans and the undeserved population. I call it jazzing with a purpose”, says Dr. Thaddeus John Bell, Founder of Closing The Gap In Healthcare Inc.

The Low Country Jazz Festival takes place August 31 through September 2, in Charleston, SC, recently named Top U.S. City by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. Jazz enthusiasts will be able to enjoy Charleston’s noteworthy neighborhoods, boutique hotels, incredible restaurants, designer shopping, antique stores and vintage shops, not to mention beaches and beautiful weather, before attending shows at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. New this year is a Sunday smooth jazz brunch to allow fans to meet and greet the artists.

Although Jarreau may be the most well known of the performers, the all-star lineup will impress jazz fans. Gerald Albright, who was featured at President Clinton’s inauguration, has sold more than a million albums in the U.S. alone. In addition to saxophone, his self-produced music showcases his talent on bass guitar, keyboards, flutes, drum programming and background vocals, earning him the reputation as “musician’s musician.”

Ronnie Laws’ debut album with Blue Note records, Pressure Sensitive (1975), rapidly emerged to become the longest-selling album, at that time, in the 42-year history of the label. A former member of Earth, Wind and Fire, Laws’ first hit, “Always There” was one of the most popular, sax-driven, cross-over hits of the 70’s Jazz-Funk Fusion era.

Swiss-born Alex Bugnon began playing piano at age six and has a prestigious musical education from the Paris Conservatory, the Mozart Academy in Salzburg, Austria and the Berklee School of Music in Boston. His recording career began in 1989 with the album, Love Season which reached both pop and Top 40 R&B charts as did his 1990 recording, Head Over Heels. Bugnon signed with Narada Jazz in 2001 and released Soul Purpose which remained on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart for 23 weeks. Atlanta is now his second home and his 2003 album is appropriately named Southern Living.

Guitarist Norman Brown is well known to contemporary jazz fans. His album Just Chillin’ received a GRAMMY® Award in 2003 and two years later The Very Best Of Norman Brown was one of the best-selling smooth jazz albums of 2005.

Two fan favorites will again be at the jazz festival in 2012. Guitarist Matt Marshak received standing ovations in 2010 and trumpeter Charlton Singleton, conductor of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, will show the out-of-towners why he is locally known and loved.
