The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and many of us really enjoy producing a nice fireworks display to entertain our family and friends, and to show off our pyro talents. [1]

It’s interactive, so you can click on a name and see the fireworks display that goes with it. [2]

Back in the early 1980’s, the Recreation Department of The City of Morganton decided to have a fireworks display on the 4th of July. [3]

Rainbow Fireworks is a full service professional fireworks display company based in Kansas and operating in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado. [4]

To create a specific figure in the sky, you create an outline of the figure in star pellets, surround them as a group with a layer of break charge to separate them simultaneously from the rest of the contents of the shell, and place explosive charges inside those pellets to blow them outward into a large figure. [2]

In this article, you will learn all about firecrackers, sparklers and aerial fireworks. [5]

Many of us see multiple examples every year of folks who have had a bit too much to drink, take some cakes and mortar tubes out to the back yard or into the cul-de-sac, have adults with kids standing in front of them about 30 feet away, and start firing away, whooping and hollering. [1]

For example, if the pellets are equally spaced in a circle, with black powder inside the circle, you will see an aerial display of smaller star explosions equally spaced in a circle. [2]

The group was founded by vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Ravi Bhadriraju and Andrew Arcurio, bassist Chad Staples, and drummer Andy Rysdam, and the band cut their first demo CD in 2004. [1]

Jonny Davy stands at the front of Job for a Cowboy as their manic, gutter-throated vocalist, firing up the devoted hordes that flock to the band’s countless shows. [2]

We recently asked Job for a Cowboy vocalist Jonny Davy to write a tour blog for the band’s MetalSucks co-sponsored headlining trek with Hate Eternal, All Shall Perish, Animosity and Annotations of an Autopsy. [3]

At least, that’s what singer Jonny Davy says in our exclusive podcast interview. [4]

Jonny Davy: The process has been a bit slow, and this tour is sort of holding the writing process back, but its getting there. [5]

Unleashing a relentless fusion of hardcore and death metal with the precision guitar attack of progressive metal, Job for a Cowboy was formed in Glendale, AZ, in 2002. [1]

The buckets of internet venom spewed at Arizona death metal titans Job for a Cowboy have seemingly made them stronger: the noticeable shift in sound and focus between their debut EP, Doom, and their debut full length, Genesis, is the sound of a band evolving nicely. [2]

They have been defined by The New York Times as “an Arizona band with a guttural, brute-force sound descended (indirectly) from hard-core punk ” and “straightforwardly brutal act” by Rolling Stone magazine. [6]

Actually, Job For a Cowboy were initially reluctant to even accept the gig since they had received a hostile crowd reaction earlier when they played Europe with Megadeth, but something pushed them forward, even though they knew they would be the heaviest band on the bill. [4]

While Job for a Cowboy was writing material for their first full-length album, Sellers announced that he would be leaving the band to go back to school immediately after recording the album. [6]

While Job for a Cowboy was writing material for their first full-length album, Sellers left the band, and Jon “The Charm” Rice became their new percussionist. [1]

This interview is a real dozy though, because likely before everyone else finds out, I got to learn a little on the process of their new album, and some big lineup changes. [5]

They were doing just fine before Megadeth invited them to tour on this year’s Gigantour. [4]

While in the studio recording their new album, The Concealers, the members of Daath decided to record a medley of classic death metal songs by Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Dying Fetus (see behind-the-scenes video above). [2]

In 2005, the band recorded a six-song EP, Doom, that attracted the attention of Arizona independent label King of the Monsters, who distributed the disc after an initial self-released pressing by the band. [1]

Fathers Office doesn’t need your business. [1]

But who cares about figs, Father’s Office is known for their burgers. [2]

No, this is L.A. County’s landmark gastropub (tiny as it is) where foodies, beer connoisseurs (and sometimes smug scenesters) from near and far wait in ridiculously long lines in hopes of getting a spot at one of the tables crammed inside. [3]

“And yes its’ absolutely delicious and the beer selection is amazing.” [2]

Chef-owner Sang Yoon is more or less the Los Angeles equivalent of David Chang, whose Ko in New York City sells out each day’s seating in less time than it takes to crack an egg, and Yoon could probably get away with serving his goat-cheese gratin?e in telephone booths if he felt like it. [4]

I have only had the burger and sweet potato fries, but these 2 items are all you really need to know about. [...] It tasted so dry, that I had to reach for my bottled root beer after each bite. [...] Each trip to LA entailed hours of research to ensure each meal is not wasted on mediocre and subpar food that contains thousands of calories. [1]

The fries and beer are pretty great too. [...] Yes the burger is divine, but without the fun crowds, the place is somber in atmosphere. [5]

Get your quick guide to the top hotels, restaurants and things to do. [...] This isn’t the place to go for a quiet, romantic dinner as it is fairly small, busy and has a bar like atmosphere. [6]

I’ve been to the one in Santa Monica and this one is a bigger place. [2]

I knew there’d be a wait but I wasn’t quite sure how disorganized the seating would be, and bad form to the college kids who stole my bar seat I was sitting in when I got up to get a fork. [1]

They also have delicious sweet potato fries — perfect amount of crisp and flavor. [2]

The singer filed a grant deed on the ranch Monday that makes the new owner an entity called the Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. LLC, Tom Pearson of the Santa Barbara County clerk-recorder’s office said Wednesday. [1]

Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. is a joint venture between Jackson and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction who was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity. [2]

The person could not say what would become of the 2,500-acre property in the bucolic, oak-studded hills of Santa Barbara County’s wine country, 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles. [3]

Jackson has struggled to pay his debts since his financial empire began to crumble following his arrest in 2003 on charges that he molested a 13-year-old boy at the ranch. [2]

It owns several properties in Las Vegas, including the Las Vegas Hilton. [...] He renamed the ranch after the mythical land of Peter Pan and set about creating the magical childhood experiences he said his career as a child star had denied him. [...] The property was called Sycamore Valley Ranch before Jackson bought it in 1988 and began turning it into a miniature amusement park with a zoo, Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other rides. [...] At the height of his popularity, the superstar invited thousands of children to play on the grounds. [1]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson has given up title to his Neverland ranch, transferring the deed to a company he partly controls. [2]

Colony Capital is a Los Angeles-based real estate investment company run by billionaire Tom Barrack. [4]

Ella Myers, the 3-month-old victim in the Alabama shooting rampage, is out of the hospital. [2]

It does not identify its owners, but the company has the same Century City address as Colony Capital LLC. [4]

Authorities in Mississippi say they found $460,000 worth of marijuana in a truckload of hot peppers. [2]
