Someone was asking about the location of the vineyard concert yesterday. I wanted to correct the info that was given. It is NOT in the Hamptons, it is in Riverhead NY on the north fork of Long Island. The Hamptons are on the south fork and around 20 miles from Riverhead. You would get there using a major highway, the Long Island Expressway. Riverhead is the last exit. Short drive to the vineyard. There are quite a few moderately priced chain hotels in Riverhead (Holiday Inn Express, etc.). If you can get a flight into MacArthur airport, it is closer than JFK. You can also take a train from either airport to Riverhead using the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Take a cab to the train station. I haven't looked it up, but the concert will likely be on a grassy area on the vineyard property. Food trucks and port-a-potties. Hope this info helps. Thank you for the clarification! Nile's Facebook entry from Aug 3rd says the Hamptons, but the poster clearly states Riverhead. Martha Clara Vineyards
6025 Sound Avenue
Riverhead, NY 11901Doors open at 5:00 PM EDT July 17, Nile's Facebook: on.fb.me/15Ceybx |

Southwest airlines flies into ISLIP which is on Long Island. Yes, MacArthur airport is located in the town of Islip. 30 miles to Riverhead. JFK to Riverhead is 70 miles to Riverhead. |

Good morning.
Linda Ladden 4evrmomof4 @adamlambert this is wonderful> Gay.net WATCH: Antibullying Anthem Benefits Straight But Not Narrow www.gay.net/music/2013/07/30/watch-antibullying-anthem-benefits-straight-not-narrow#.Uf5jVCSF9VM.twitter …
WATCH: ANTIBULLYING ANTHEM BENEFITS STRAIGHT BUT NOT NARROWBY: BRANDON VOSS 7.30.2013 For the release of his new single, "Someone You Love," Indian-American singer Arshad Aslam has teamed up with Straight But Not Narrow, a non-profit antibullying organization founded and run by Aslam’s buddies Josh Hutcherson and Avan Jogia. "Dedicated to Jamey Rodemeyer... and the countless others we have failed," the video explores the potentially devastating effect of school bullying — and the simple acts of kindness that can help stop it. "The song is about believing in yourself when an outside force is bringing you down," says Arshad, an actor best known for MTV’s Zach Stone is Gonna be Famous. "I came across an article about a boy named Jamey Rodemeyer who committed suicide because he was harassed and bullied so badly for being gay that he took his life. It is absolutely unacceptable that our society is still letting things like this happen. Although he is gone, his light will always shine and his story will live on and help others. I hope that 'Someone You Love' can help anyone who is going through a hard time." All proceeds from the iTunes sales of "Someone You Love" will be donated to the Straight But Not Narrow campaign to fund awareness programs. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. |

Good to know.
Mihaela Glambert @miaratajkowskiTwitter Hands Down New Rules To Beat Abusive Talk huff.to/1eiMqMw via @huffposttech / that sounds good' Twitter Hands Down New Rules To Beat Abusive Talk
LONDON — Twitter is handing down new rules to control abusive language, the company said Saturday, a move which follows a barrage of nasty, harassing, and threatening messages directed at high-profile female users of the microblogging site. In a message posted to its website, Twitter says it is introducing a one-click button to report abuse and updating its rules to clarify that it will not tolerate abusive behavior. The one-click button means that users will not have to navigate to Twitter's help center in order to fill out an abuse form – a process some said was too cumbersome to deal with a mass of angry messages – while the new rules includes a stricture against "targeted abuse," something which could include slamming a single user with messages from multiple accounts, creating an account purely to harass someone, or making threats. The company also promised to devote more staff to weed out offending messages. In a series of statements posted to Twitter, General Manager Tony Wang issued his own apology "to the women who have experienced abuse on Twitter and for what they have gone through." "The abuse they've received is simply not acceptable," he said. "It's not acceptable in the real world, and it's not acceptable on Twitter. There is more we can and will be doing to protect our users against abuse. That is our commitment." The relative anonymity of the Internet means it has long been hard to police abusive or threatening speech, but the issue recently received attention in Britain after several women went public about the sexually explicit and often luridly violent abuse they receive from online bullies, often called trolls. Many argue that trolls are an annoyance which should just be ignored, but the catalogue of graphic threats made public by the women involved have ignited a national debate over the impunity of those spewing the hatred online. Wang said in a tweet that the new anti-abuse policy will apply worldwide. |
