Unique Ways to Celebrate 4th July
Published June 3, 2010 | 
Looking for fun and innovative ways to spend Independence Day this year? Whether you're on the road or planning a stay-cation at home, here are some tips that are sure to liven up this festive weekend celebration.
Liven up Your BBQ
Instead of just a tired old 4th of July BBQ, why not spice things up with an outdoor movie festival? Grab your favorite summer flicks and set up a rental projector to display films on a hung sheet or even on the side of the house. Neighbors from near and far are sure to stop by to join in the fun when they see classic films on display in larger-than-life format. Everyone loves dining al fresca, and the only thing that can top it is the picnic-and-a-movie combination. Remember to pop some popcorn for adults and kids alike.
Bring the Fun Indoors
While July 4th is traditionally an “outdoor” holiday, there's no reason why the fun can't travel indoors during the hottest part of the day (or once the sun goes down). With a rental projector, you can create your very own film festival, Wii competition, or trip down memory lane featuring your favorite home movies. Your guests will appreciate a chance to get out of the heat with a cool and fun indoor celebration.
Party into the Evening Hours
This year, July 4th falls on a Sunday, but with many folks off of work the following day, there's no reason not to extend party time into the evening hours. Got a pool? You can easily set up your own swim-in theater with a blank wall or a big white sheet, a rental projector, and the family's most cherished movies. If you'd prefer to wind things down in the evening, you can set up the kids and teens with an outdoor movie while the adults retire inside for some grown-up beverages and scintillating conversation.
Host a Block Party
Hosting a block party is easier than you may think – the main thing to remember is to apply for whatever permits are required by your local town, city or county government. Block party permits are typically free (or with just a nominal fee) and you might need a security officer. It's that simple to coordinate a neighborhood party, block off the streets from motorized traffic, and start a celebration. A rental projector adds a nice touch, entertaining kiddies and adults alike.

Published February 6, 2010 | Display location:Istanbul
City:Istanbul
State:Turkey
Date:Jan. 9 and 10
Details: It was a night of music, fireworks, and ethnic controversy. The weekend of Jan. 9 and 10 brought a glitzy opening ceremony to mark Istanbul as the 2010 European Capital of Culture.
Turkey has seized on a little-known institution to showcase its cultural gems, such as the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, and beef up its candidacy for the European Union while highlighting its emergence as a regional power. At a time when local newspapers talk of a “neo-Ottomanist” foreign diplomacy, some are calling the coming year of cultural events Turkey’s “Beijing moment.”
In a modern conference hall built next to the Halic Strait separating the two shores of Ottoman Istanbul, Turkish singers, dancers, poets, dervishes, a choir, and a full orchestra serenaded 5,000 politicians, VIPs, and journalists in a spectacle intended to underline the city’s multicultural heritage. At the show’s conclusion, guests streamed out into the rain to the strains of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” to take in a dazzling 15-minute fireworks display launched from the seven hills on which the city is built.
But Turkey’s uneasy coexistence with its minorities has drawn criticism of Istanbul’s city government from several sources: Gypsy populations are upset at being forced to leave a prime piece of real estate abutting the walls of Byzantium that they have inhabited for a millennium to make room for a residential development. Disenfranchised Kurds feel the city’s municipalities are not addressing their needs.
The opening ceremony represented Istanbul’s Gypsy population through a dance number titled “East Side Story,” featuring rival Gypsy gangs staging a choreographed brawl.
“We have double standards,” said Ali Murat Yel, a professor of sociology at Istanbul’s Fatih University. “On the one hand we say we’re tolerant of minorities and [are] multicultural, but as the Manisa events [in which a squabble over smoking spiraled into 1,000 locals attacking a Roma community] show, this is not the case. We have to know how to tolerate others who are different.”
