You People Oughtta Work For The White House!

It was a case of the 800 Recorded YouTube Views in Regards to the Coverage of the 2011 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Basketball Championship & how the #s fluctuated so wildly.
It goes like this-Producer is told to put it on YouTube, over his objections. He notices that in one round that there are 481 viewers. In the Next Round, he notices a 60% drop in viewership. In some cases, the numerical drop is as high as 96.64%. he starts noticing a trend among those forcing the YouTube Coverage. All these numbers are "Juiced", then take a tremendous drop.
Real Numbers don't drop like this as they follow a pattern of consistency. The juiced #s fluctuate wildly.
It is as if the perpetrators had friends at BALCO. Explain having 103 Views, & the next round, ONLY having 5 Views.
The #s were badly manipulated for 1 Round. But, this is a bargaining chip to keep the YouTube Coverage Scheme going.
The Dailymotion Coverage had increases & decreases, but nothing like the YouTube #s. In fact, The Queens County Championship was boycotted by these "Stats Padders", who wanted the coverage, which they manipulated, on YouTube. Thus, their digital "Toys" were taken away.
When one of these manipulators sent their elderly mother to demand the continuation of YouTube Coverage, says a lot about these people. But, they couldn't use the video on YouTube to brag about their Daughters' achievements, because both of them lost their competitions.
And, their Free Throw Coverage on YouTube is HISTORY.

M

Kiss It Goodbye

Because of your crassly parochial stunt to force all Free Throw Coverage onto YouTube, so you can manipulate viewership, to you in East Glendull & Mudville, there will be NO YouTube Coverage.
Besides, blip.tv, Vimeo & Dailymotion are much better options, so join us there.

435? More Like 109

The ones who demanded YouTube Coverage of the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Basketball Championship, in The East Glendull & Mudville Areas of Queens, have a lot of explaining to do. How dies one's video viewership go from 102 to 5 views?

It is at this point safe to say that tremendous numerical manipulation took place in order to keep the Competitions on YouTube. Except that viewership dove from 435 to 211. In the case of 211 views, 49 were for a 12 Year Old Girl, for the purpose of keeping alive the YouTube Coverage. But, the #s on Dailymotion had actually increased by 96%, while the YouTube #s were dropping dramatically. A decision to carry the Queens County Championship was made & Dailymotion was my 1st Choice, as the Vimeo App was a few weeks away from being released.

This decision caused the East Glendull-Mudville Crowd to become resentful, as, even though there were 4 Champions coming from that Region of Queens, that coverage was being carried on something other than YouTube. Let's just say that the viewing #s dropped.

There were 99 Viewers of Dailymotion coverage, but these were real #s & not the cooked #s of YouTube. There were no videos traded like Baseball Cards. These are real views.

But it will be said about the Long Island Final Coverage, that the LOWEST #s came via YouTube, with 57 Views. Those demanding YouTube Coverage, failed to push their #s. Yet, Vimeo.com, serving as lead network, received 258 views, Dailymotion received 122 views & YouTube had only 57 Views, as the YouTube Demanders, anticipating Victory, came up empty handed & had nothing to brag about, hence their videos went unpromoted & barely noticed.

There are only 402 real YouTube Views over 4 Competitions. The rest of the numbers were manipulated by selfish people, who could have traded Vimeo, Dailymotiion & blip.tv videos, just as easily. But, they wanted to be a bunch of hotshots on the World's Largest Video Sharing Service. The YouTube Coverage is, as it is said in French, "C'est Fini,"

The #s Farce Which Is You Tube

WHY The Demand To Keep K of C Free Throw In YouTube With Drastically Dropping #s?

In the Parish Preliminary Coverage, 69 Viewers watched on YouTube. Then, in Council 5103 Coverage, 461 Views were recorded. In the District 28 Queens NY Coverage, 196 views were recorded, making for a 65% drop. For the Long Island Final Coverage, only 55 Views were recorded.
Then it hit me like a fastball to Mike Piazza's Head-to protect the YouTube Coverage, the Council Round Videos were traded like Baseball Cards, then all the self promotion ended, except for two people in The District Coverage. With 69+461=530, & 196 added, there are 726 Views. This way, the self interested ones think they are protecting their playing cards(Videos), but as for the 65% drop in viewership, there were contest losers who didn't promote their YouTube Videos. Coupled with a couple of Winners with lower winning #s, those Videos were not promoted.
The Dailymotion #s which tanked at the Queens County Round was as the result of boycotting the fact that the competition was not on YouTube.
With the Long Island Final returning to YouTube, only 55 tuned into the contest there, but nothing to promote, with only 1 Winner from Queens County, who was a huge hit on Vimeo.com, as go to guy for "Post Game Interviews." Vimeo outdrew YouTube, rather convincingly. YouTube was also beaten by Dailymotion, rather nicely.
Still, despite The lower #s, the East Glendull-Middle Village crew, wanted their Coverage on YouTube. I suspect that the Elderly Woman who demanded that the coverage on YouTube. Is from East Glendull.
Funny but the inflated YouTube #s, were as the result of Video Trading in one Round, has backfired, big time. No YouTube Coverage will take place in Queens in 2012. At least real viewers watched in blip.tv, Vimeo.com, Dailymotion.com & VodPod.com. The YouTube Traders can go take a long walk off a short pier in Sheepshead Bay. The K of C Free Throw doesn't need YouTube for viewing #s. That has been proven.
besides, Vimeo is poised to overtake YouTube in another week or so. Besides, only YouTube Videos get traded around.

Lose & You Don't Promote YOURSELF-Not On YouTube

Now I know WHY the Video #s dropped like a Fly Ball to Luis Castillo, on YouTube in the District 28 Queens NY Round of the Knights of Columbus International Free Throw Basketball Championship. When a contestant loses a round, it is NOT a Time for SELF-Promotion, especially on Self-Promotion Oriented YouTube. No one wants to be a FLOP on YouTube, the World's Largest Cyber-Stage.
One contestant in the Council 5103 Round at Forest Hills, drew 102 Viewers in an amazing, Clinic Like Performance. But, by the District Competition, though she won, her performance was fair, though she won, hence she didn't promote her performance, so The #s dropped. Round 3-Queens County was on Dailymotion & there was Absolutely No Way it was going to be promoted because it was NOT on YouTube & it was too close a call for her, though she won the Queens County Championship.
Her family requested that in The Long Island Final, this Video is to be carried on YouTube. But, something happened. She lost her competition, carried by Vimeo.com, Dailymotion.com, & YouTube.com, & overseas by iVideo.ie. Hence, her YouTube Views were almost nonexistent. There was No Victory To Self Promote. But, she had a good # of viewers on iVideo.ie, without promotion. She had a few views on VodPod.com.
In a 2nd Case of a 12 Year Old Girl & her parents, she received 49 Views in the 2nd Round on YouTube, especially through Self Promotion+21 Views on Dailymotion without any self promotion. At The Long Island Championship, with her parents requesting YouTube Coverage, the girl lost this round & No Promotion of the YouTube Clip was done. Wherever Self Promotion of a Winner on YouTube occurred, the #s were there. If there was a loss, YouTube #s went down the tubes, with no self promotion. With Dailymotion for the Queens County Championship, no Self Promoters would use a Dailymotion Coverage Clip. It had to be YouTube or Nothing. I know of NONE who would use a Vimeo Clip, even in Victory.
YouTube, hence is about Self Promotion. Two of these Queens County Champions were overconfident unto the point of Victory & Self Promoting over YouTube. The #s tanked in a loss. In the case of East Glendale & Middle Village, numbers dropped in a loss.
Yet, over the other networks, steady growth in viewership occurred. It was about good programming & not self promotion, which takes place on YouTube. YouTube is hereby eliminated as a coverage tool. It's a "Me" Network.
Funny thing though-13 Boys Long Island Champion Jason Camus is "The Face Of The Vimeo.com Coverage." There was no self promotion. I like that.

For An Event Of This Magnitude, NO YOU TUBE

Sorry, Oh Soccer Moms From Hades, but Little Johnny or Lil' Lulu aren't going to be on YouTube. Quite Simply, you quit watching the coverage there. You also tried to dictate Coverage Policies to us.

I did NOT enjoy hearing words like "It better be on YouTube", sometimes in nasty, threatening tones of voice, as if YouTube was some kind of Narcotic. Lansdowne126-MMD Productions LLC puts coverage on the Highest-Quality Video Sharing Services. Unfortunately, YouTube is NOT one of those High Quality Services. The Clientele leaves a lot to be desired. One of my videos ended up on a Gambling Site. YouTube is NOT a good move.

Much of this YouTube Demand is so you can brag about Lulu or Johnny until either loses. You could look at the other high quality services, like those who watched the Long Island Final in Vimeo or Dailymotion, where production quality is much better.

It is Video. YouTube is overrated & a pile of junk. Look at something else. You might like quality, better. Wait! You need your Fix! Go shoot the Video Yourself & have fun uploading to YouTube. You will not have fun doing it.

M

In Round 2, With Dailymotion.com, Distribution Will Be Different

Dailymotion.com will be the Official Home of the Queens, NY District 28 Coverage of the Knights of Columbus International Free Throw Basketball Championship.
Dailymotion.com handled coverage of 4 Rounds of the competition, much of which was seen in HD 720p, which is the same broadcast standard as FOX Sports, ESPN & A & E Networks. It will be fed to Posterous.com, which will feed it off to tumblr.com.
The emphasis will be on coverage for both Desktop & Mobile Devices. Viewing numbers on Dailymotion were quite good for a service being used for the 1st Time in the History of the K of C Free Throw Coverage. Viewership will view the contest on tumblr & Posterous via hyperlink to Dailymotion & on Dailymotion directly, with links via Facebook & Twitter.
The Coverage will be in HD 720p.
Dailymotion is the largest video service in the world after YouTube & provides for an uncluttered page and interface. Programming on Dailymotion is of much higher quality than YouTube. If you want to watch "Hogan's Heroes", this is the place to do it. Good, artistic programming takes place here as well.

M

For Rounds 1, 3 & 4-blip.tv Has a Free Bonus For Viewers

It is called an iTunes Download. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, you'll be able to carry a contest segment with you to work, school or the park.
This network, blip.tv, is optimized for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. You can be the 1st Family or Contestant to have your own contest download. One may even be in the works on Your Blackberry, PSP, Zune, Windows Phone 7, & Android.
blip.tv has an interesting mix of original programming to watch, so the Competition Rounds will be available, via FaceBook & Twitter as well. It will be available in the Zune Store & Android Market.

No "Fred", Snooki or Rex Ryan's Foot Fetish Videos exist here, which is good to know.

The blip.tv feed will come via Posterous.com for these rounds.

blip.tv was the network, finishing behind YouTube in the Council Competition coverage #s, which isn't bad at all. blip.tv handled only one competition. It will be the heavy duty coverage service. Feeds via Posterous.com, to be carried on ShowYou, tumblr & Vimeo.

Look Folks-NO YouTube!

M

For The Parish Preliminary Coverage, Vimeo.com Is The Place To Be

There are no videos on Vimeo.com about Rex Ryan kissing his Wife's feet, no kid named Fred, crying that he wants his Meds & no pack of idiots from the Jersey Shore(No Snooki), here on Vimeo.com. What you get are well made artistic Videos.
There are even K of C Free Throw Segments with Gregorian Chant on this service. And a couple of Original, Darkly-Comedic Web Series here for your viewing pleasure, are previewed here.
Some really superb videos can be viewed in HD 1080i, just like on CBS & NBC or from Europe and professional filmmakers.
The Vimeo.com coverage of The Knights of Columbus Free Throw, has a mix of everything, from the contest to production techniques, to humor.
Last Parish Preliminary Coverage is on YouTube. This time it enters Vimeo.com territory, with an uncluttered interface & a great video player. The coverage can be seen on Blackberry, Android & the iPhone/iPod Touch & iPad, as well as your Mac, Linux & Windows Computer, as well as Windows Phone 7 Device. And the video, whether in HD or Standard Definition, looks great.
The Vimeo.com Feed will be fed to Facebook & Twitter from the Vimeo iPhone App, to ShowYou.com & tumblr.com, for mobile viewing. The Vimeo Experience for this Free Throw Round, is the start of Free Throw Coverage in 2012.
I think you'll like it.

M

YouTube To Get Smacked Down By Vimeo In K of C Free Throw Coverage

Funny, but more people are watching a Video Service full of By-Coverage as well as Council Free Throw & Long Island Final Coverage.
Vimeo.com, has 718 Viewers(Sounds like my area code). Vimeo is home to the Long Island K of C Free Throw Final Coverage & Council Coverage. Not bad for an Arts Channel. YouTube has 781viewers. Between the Parish Preliminary & Council Coverage, YouTube has 530 Viewers, or 461 during Council Coverage.
Vimeo started with 90 Viewers. DailyMotion has 133 for Council Coverage.
But the YouTube #s took a tremendous nosedive, while Vimeo & DailyMotion showed hefty increases. The "Tubesters" left after the 1st Round. By Round 4, YouTube became as significant as a NY Mets Profit Margin.
When Vimeo got 258 Views to YouTube's 55, it showed that people will watch the Knights of Columbus Free Throw on other services, which are far less cluttered. Ditto, both DailyMotion & blip.tv.
And East Glendale Area will NOT be dictating programming policy to Lansdowne126 in the future. The numbers are showing that to be true. And we are being watched on the other networks, so YouTube is hereby inconsequential.

M

Just WHAT Attracts People To YouTube?

If you remember the slick, candy coated world of the old AOL, then called America Online, I believe that you'll understand WHY.
AOL was easy to use & so is YouTube:
All your buddies are on AOL & everybody has a common interest;
YouTube is where your buddies go to for Video;
But, is it any good?
I have seen quality performances being ignored in favor of glitzy JUNK. In the case of YouTube, one high ratings performer receives loads of moronic comments on her videos, some of which will not be mentioned here at all, including veiled Death Wishes from assorted morons.
Many Knights Of Columbus Councils, Regions & Districts, webcast the Free Throw over YouTube, including my production company. Finding one of your Competition Videos on a Gambling Site, is not what you want to happen, but it did happen. I don't have this problem on Vimeo.com, blip.tv nor on
Dailymotion.com, where on these 3,Fine services, morons do not lurk & make hideous comments.
It sounds like Old AOL all over again. New AOL is nothing like the Old Version as they are a Serious Media Company. One can even have one's videos ported over from blip.tv.
Something tells me that when a company is too big, becoming much smaller is in their future.
It happened to AOL- It will happen with YouTube. Give it time.

No Thanks, Bud

The Red Sox Fans will have to do without a 2nd Game on NESN today, because that game, a makeup for a rainout in Detroit, falls within the 5PM-11PM Exclusivity of ESPN, The Worldwide Leader in Junk Sports.
Now if this was the case of the NY Yankees, it would be on ESPN2 or ESPN Classic, but, hey, Boston's New England Market, I guess, doesn't count. Am I Correct? Someone has to pay the cost for Slappy Mc Bluelip's Lip Gloss.
Hey Bud-THAT Sucks!

There Was A Time WHEN

Memorial Day was Not on a Weekend. There was Lincoln's Birthday & Washington's Birthday. Men wore Fedoras. Women covered their heads in Church. Mass was exclusively in Latin, save for the Epistle/Gospel Readings & The Kyrie, which was chanted in Greek.
Then came the 1970s. Mass was in The Vernacular, The Altar was turned around.
And fast forward to now, cute young women & teens wear Fedoras, as a sign of Youthful Rebellion.
And The Mass in Latin is making a comeback & the Mass in Vernacular will, once again, be TRANSLATED & not INTERPRETED from the Latin.

What Goes Around, eventually comes back around.

This is The # of Men who have received the Sacrament Of Holy Orders, today, Saturday, May 28th, 2011, at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help RC Church in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
I personally know one of them, by the Name of The Reverend Deacon Jeremiah Schwarz. He will be serving at Holy Child Jesus RC Church in Richmond Hill, Queens. His 1st Mass as Deacon , will be on Sunday, June 5th, at Holy Child Jesus RC Church, @ 12Noon, with Barbeque Reception after Mass in the Backyard at Leonard Centre, the former HCJ Convent.
Pray for "The 27 Ordinands."
I know one other, personally. He was Grand Knight of Ridgewood Council #1814, when I was Grand Knight of Msgr Sherman 5103, namely Tom Page, PGK/FDD.
A 3rd Deacon, known by Deacon Schwarz, is Deacon Carlos Garcia from St.Michael's-St. Malachy's in East New York.
I will be at the 12N Mass @ Our Lady of Mercy-Forest Hills, Queens, tomorrow. That Deacon's Name is John Killian.
Many Blessings to all 27 Deacons Ordained Today.
In Nomini Patris, et Filli, et Spiritu Sancti, Amen.

Therapeutic & Grace Giving-The Sacrament Of Reconcilliation

I need to go there. I have discovered through God's Grace that I am in a better frame of mind after The Sacrament of Reconciliation, or when I was growing up in Brooklyn, the Sacrament of Penance.

NYC-Home Of The Indie Series

Productions are always filming all around the 5 Boroughs. The Best Places to look are on Craigslist & in Backstage.com.
Last Saturday, I performed a Standup Comedy Gig for "5 Seconds-Useless Skills" for CollegeHumor.com, which is owned by InterActiveCorporation, HQ'd on the West Side by Chelsea Piers, & this company owns Vimeo.com, home to my short films & Sports Coverage. I was recorded on a soundstage in a decommissioned Catholic Elementary School in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, on the Border with Northside Williamsburgh.
Now, I got called to play a 50ish cop named Elroy in a Dark Comedy Cop Show.
That show has been entered in the New York Television Festival, where the indie low budget shows go.
Funny, but I started this TV/Web acting stuff in Northside Williamsburgh, in October, 2009. I must love "The Greasepaint" on my face.

M

Moaning, Weeping & Gnashing Of Teeth In The 5 Boroughs

Ahhh, I can hear them now! Fans of a certain Major League Baseball Team, who have a core of fans, who have no videos on Vimeo.com, but are noted for their idiocy on the "Tube" which begins with "You."
I am NOT talking about NY Mets Fans. They, at least, are smiling a bit, because of another Team's misfortune. Mets Fans are laughing because the NY Yankees are now in 2nd Place behind the Boston Red Sox.a team not owned by Freddie, Jeffy or Uncle Sol. Mets Fans are looking to run Fred, Jeffy & Uncle Saul out on a rail, or at least on the Long Island Railroad.
Yankees Fans, you see, thought that the Boston Red Sox were toast, after the Sox lost 6 straight in the start of the season, but that is not the case here. There is a parade of Yankees Fans on the horn to Sports Radio 66 WFAN, whining that Harold Camping's End Of The World Prediction has come true, with the Yankees in 2nd Place.
Bwahahahahahahahah!

M

Nice To Hear From A Casting Director

Just landed a meal gig on a web series, an indie involving cops in a dark comedy, being filmed in NYC.
A meal gig is where you work in a show & get fed. It is called "Low Budget."
It is really Micro-Budget, but I'll take it.
It looks promising.

M

Funny, but these small gigs do add up

At least they feed well. The best gigs have paid well. The "Onion Sports Network" SportsDome on Comedy Central is one example & that followed with a couple of low budget paid jobs.
One film, I was background as a mourner at graveside & ate well. Two nights later I ate well & got paid on the spot, but I was playing a bloodied victim in a dream sequence in Long Island City. It was a Late Night Shoot.
Like it has been said, an army travels on its' stomach. Well, so do Performers & the crew.

Late Night Premiere-"Hangover 2"

What else! It is "Hangover Alley" right now as College Grads are partying before Graduate School Starts.
Besides, this is another K of C Free Throw Video Network Test. This will be a Test Run for The K of C Soccer Challenge, as well as for the K of C Free Throw.

My Case For K of C Free Throw Coverage On blip.tv, Vimeo.com & Dailymotion.com

Close to 5000 Views & with the majority of the extensive coverage being watched on something other than YouTube, tells me that YouTube, by and large, is grossly overrated as far as drawing viewers.
779 watched on YouTube in 4 Competitions. Yet, there are far superior options to YouTube.
Currently on blip.tv, one can download the Council 5103 Free Throw from iTunes via the blip.tv show page. On Vimeo.com, one can download the Source Video. On Dailymotion, one can have a real choice of intelligent programming.
Of course, I realize why certain parents demanded that the contests be on YouTube-it is to brag about #s on the World's Largest Service, even though #s aren't evenly distributed.
The Two Time Long Island K of C Free Throw Champion, Jason Camus, actually accounts for 12% of Vimeo Viewership, with over half those views coming from Europe & Asia. So Jason does have a following outside of North America.
YouTube isn't needed as the Competition can stand up on its' own & be carried on something other than YouTube. YouTube is "Training Wheels for Video Sharing." The 2011 K of C Free Throw Coverage from Lansdowne126-MMD Productions is the proof of the pudding in that regard.

Unlike other comedies, this will have an old time angle. It will be a SILENT Film Comedy, with Subtitles.
These episodes will be short & have Music in the Soundtrack. It will be produced by Lansdowne126-MMD Productions LLC.

The Network Test Is Successful

I am finding that tumblr & my own website are carrying the Video Feed of Irish Music, as part of The test of the K of C Free Throw Video Network. That blip.tv is lead network with an iTunes Download is a great thing.
That YouTube was eliminated from the Free Throw Feed is a good thing, in that YouTube is not the only show in town.
I think that much of YouTube is junk. Many a YouTube Follower, is ignorant of the video world & the rest of the world as well.

YouTube Coverage as Regular Is No More

YouTube is NOT the big #s gainer unless you have something stupid to put on....like "Fred Pees In A Lake" or "A-Rod Pees On A Station Platform."
Hence, since Lansdowne126-MMD Productions LLC is a rebel in the field of Knights of Columbus Free Throw Coverage, very little of the competition coverage, will be on YouTube.
Besides, Dailymotion, Vimeo & blip.tv tend to have better-educated & better-behaved audiences, who appreciate good programming, YouTube is a Waste Of Time & Effort.

I Am From Red Sox Nation & Understand NY Mets Fans

It is quite Simple-I despise the NY Yankees & used to go to the Upper Level Seats, when they were Light Green, for $1.30, at Shea Stadium.
For this should be understood-NY Mets Fans have a 2nd Team, namely the Yankees Primary Enemy, The Boston Red Sox.
It was a weekend in Shea, in 1997, when the two fanbases, met up & shook hands on which team both sets of fans ABSOLUTELY DESPISE, The NY Yankees.

YouTube-No Regular 2012 K of C Free Throw Coverage

It was a Queens Contingent, mostly from East Glendale, who made demands that the Free Throw Coverage be on YouTube.
It is also this contingent of "Soccer Moms From Hades", who have all the attitude that YouTube is their "Birthright."

Now, I have experience in short films, which these people DO NOT have. My 1st Director, Amanda, is the one who introduced me to something other than YouTube & that service is called Vimeo.com, an outfit based across the street from Chelsea Piers on Manhattan's West Side. Vimeo is a great training ground for being a Rebel Producer, where great & fun films are made & noticed, without all of the Quasi Riff Raff, which tends to populate YouTube. To paraphrase my 5th Grade Teacher in a Catholic School in my old Brooklyn Neighborhood, YouTube is the "Digital Idiot Box." That teacher used the term "Idiot Box", to describe Television.

Mind you, the East Glendale "Video Experts", who rely on the OLD Media, for the information that ONLY YouTube produces big numbers, are part of a "Herd Mentality." After working with Amanda, I realize that she produces programming which does not appeal to the Lowest Common Denominator. So, when the Knights of Columbus 2011 Free Throw Basketball was carried over the web, my policy was(& still is)to carry the competitions over networks other than YouTube.

There is untapped potential for a Free Throw Audience outside of the Realm Of YouTube. Audiences on Vimeo.com, view from much of Europe & The Pacific Rim, as well as North America. Much of the NY Metro Area viewing actually came via the French Service, Dailymotion.com & a number of Canadians were our YouTube & Vimeo viewers. Over half the coverage viewing audience, lives outside of North America, a lot of it in the British Isles & the European Continent. A video sharing social media service in Cork City, County Cork, Republic Of Ireland, called iVideo.ie, now makes up over half of our 4936 viewers, bringing in viewers from Ireland, The UK & France & Germany.

At the 01/15/11 Council Competition, 451 viewers watched the competition on YouTube. But, 378 viewed the competition on blip.tv, 133 viewed the competition on Dailymotion, & 80 viewed on Vimeo, more noted for being a film makers site, hence 942 viewed that 1st Contest. Interesting point here is that YouTube was the plurality of viewers but not the Majority of Viewers. There was evidence at this point where YouTube was & still isn't the only show in town.

With 451 tumbling to 178 viewers, my hypothesis was proved to be right, in that people will watch the contest on other outlets. By the time of the 4th Round, the Long Island Final, 212 tuned in via Vimeo, while YouTube only had 55 viewers. Dailymotion had 120 Viewers & small aggregator VodPod, had 25 Viewers. In iVideo.ie, 606 viewers tuned in, for an overall 1018 viewers of the Long Island Final.

Who said that ONLY YouTube, produces big #s? There are a huge # of Videos on YouTube with only 10 Viewers in 6 months..

YouTube is grossly overrated!

The Prep Student Cantor-A Correction

Not "Good Lick", but "Many Blessings & Good LUCK", is what the last essay actually reads.

A Prep Student Ready To Sing

It was before the 6PM Sunday Mass @ Our Lady Of Mercy RC Church, in Forest Hills, Queens, when I got into a conversation with a girl, a 2010 Graduate of Our Lady of Mercy School.

She thought it was the Sunday Evening Teen Mass. Alas, it was not. The girl was there to meet with the Music Director, because as she put it, she would be the Cantor for the Teen Mass.

I believe that the Teen Mass is next Sunday Evening at 6PM. She is a 1st Year Student @ St. Francis Prep in Fresh Meadows, Queens & lives in Forest Hills.

We had a conversation about the National Honor Society-Franciscan Chapter. She mentioned that she was just interested in doing well & not really interested in being part of that group. She appeared to be interested in singing that Teen Mass, on her own volition, with no one to push her to do it. I like that.There was Humility.

This is UNLIKE an episode of 13 Years Ago, where some family of influence in East Glendale, Queens, thought they ran the show & WERE The Show. Their daughter was seeking being elected to the Franciscan Chapter of The National Honor Society BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. This was a Family, known for their VANITY & then some, often using deceit as a tactic. They feared that their deceitful tactics might be revealed by a certain Girl Scout Council Official, who doubled as their Daughter's troop leader. As I was Grand Knight of Msgr Sherman Council Knights Of Columbus #5103, in East Glendale, the Council had(& still has)a working relationship with Parishes in Forest Hills, & this made for a potentially serious conflict. The Troop Leader & I, worshipped at Our Lady Queen Of Martyrs, Forest Hills. It was there that the 1st Ever K of C Altar Server Awards Ceremony took place. Two people being honored were at the Centre of Controversy, causing this East Glendale Family to launch a vicious stunt, to make sure their daughter won her high honor.
To this vain family, because both an Altar Server, who was the Memorial Mass Guest Soloist & The Troop Leader were honored at the Altar Server Awards in OLQM, it was time to hit the K of C & make plans to move to Arizona(Which They Did in July, 2000), in order to let people know who runs the show in East Glendale, Queens. They left East Glendale, like the Cowards they truly are, because of their secret becoming unraveled.

This family had hoped that their vile stunt, laced with a story full of criminality, sexual innuendo & viciousness, would never be found out. Their mysterious excursion to OLQM had an effect on Council Operations for the past 13 Years, all for a medallion in 1999. It should be noted that at the Sunday, 04/02/2000 Appalachia Fund Communion Breakfast, their Vile Secret had been revealed to me by a Priest & the Daughter & Mother were in shock, to say the least. When the Daughter sang her last hymn, she received derisive smiles from two Past Grand Knights, both of whom smiled like Cheshire Cats.

The Would Be Cantor understood all these things. I wish her Peace, many blessings & Good Lick in her Cantor Quest.

WFAN-Home To "Intellecshuals"

You know what I am talking about-Sports Talk Radio, a subset of Listener Generated Programming. It is here that most people have no idea WHAT they are talking about. I think of these callers as "Grandstand General Managers."

I think of WFAN as an audio version of YouTube(Banal, Idiotic, Senseless), in that people are looking for exposure, to become stars of some kind. Like on YouTube, the sillier, the better, it does not portend to be an intelligent discussion. Like a show called "Seinfeld", it is all about NOTHING(Yada, Yada).

WFAN does have some sense of intelligent discussion on Sunday Mornings from 6AM to 9AM, with the rest of the time being Sports Oriented Programming. But "The Fan" does entertain & provides an outlet, abeit banal. But it does a better job than Sominex at putting people to sleep at night. It is useful in that sense. And it keeps people happy.

Vimeo-NOT Everyone Cares For YouTube

It was the start of The 2010 Major League Baseball Season. It was a Sunday Night Classic. In fact it was on Easter Sunday. It was the Professor Thom's Opening Night Video.

It was NOT on YouTube, hence it was Special.

It was(& still is), on Vimeo.com. It received several views.

WHY should EVERY Video moment be on YouTube?

On Vimeo, videos look better & cleaner, even in Standard Definition. In Standard Definition on YouTube, one's video can end up looking like junk.

So, for special moments like that evening, it was time to go with something very different. A Video Producer named Amanda, introduced me to Vimeo. Hence, I thank her.

The Knights Of Columbus 2012 Free Throw Competitions will be on Vimeo.com. YouTube is NOT the Only Game in town. And Vimeo is headquartered right here in NYC. Vimeo does it right.

Watching CollegeHumor & Being Part Of It

I knew this-Their was a Rapture. It was in an old Catholic School in Greenpoint, Brooklyn & it happened before 6:00PM-EDT:
There was the recording of a show called "5 Seconds", where one can do something useless & get paid for it. It was fun. Imagine being a "Class Clown" in a Catholic School Classroom for a moment & realize that you'll be seen all over the world for your act of goofiness. That was me, yesterday;
I got to do a quick routine, which I am being paid for, on CollegeHumor.com, an entity owned by InterActiveCorporation, which is headquartered over by Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, the outfit which also runs a great alternative to the Junk called YouTube.com, called Vimeo.com(I have Videos on Vimeo). The subsidiary is called Connected Ventures LLC.
It was my turn to do a quick routine. Mine was naming three US States which begin with the letter "W", & I named the states, their Capital Cities & did it while I was doing an impersonation of my all time favorite Comedian, Jacob Maza;
Who is Jacob Maza? A former Orthodox Rabbi, born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin & who grew up in Manhattan's Lower East Side;
Jacob Maza, You See, is The Great Jackie Mason. This imitation was done by a Goyim Boy, Irish Descent & Catholic, originally from Brooklyn, NY, now living in Queens, a Prim & Proper Boy in Catholic School, whose Inner Funny Man came out of him, yesterday, inside of a now defunct Catholic School Classroom, used as a Soundstage, in his Native Brooklyn.
It felt so good, getting a real gig, doing this.

"Fahk FAWX-The Only Rapture Was Time Change Of Mets @ Yankees

The Reverend Harold Camping predicted the End Of The World for today at 6PM ET.
Yet, the ONLY Shattering News is FOX Sports moving Mets @ Yankees to Prime Time on the Network. It will not be earth shattering, when Tim Mc Carver brays on 20+ Times about Derek Jeter.

Please! No!

Queens Has A Convention-Of Sorts

This has NOTHING to do with the Political N'er Do Wells of any of Major Political Parties in this Borough. Rather, it is a Fraternal One.
It was so easy. The Ancient Order Of Hibernians In America in Queens had their countywide elections at their biannual County Convention.
Then, people gathered for food. It was camaraderie.

"Dice K" Is Somewhat "Dicey" To Say The Least

I 1st viewed Daisuke Matsuzaka, the Gyro Ball tossing phenom for the Boston Red Sox, in a Pre-Season Warmup, as Red Sox Nation invaded Citizens Bank Ballpark in South Philadelphia for a match with the Phillies.
He came as advertised in that Dice K was fooling batters with his assortment of pitches from fastball to curve to Gyro Ball.

Fast Forward to Fenway Park in 2009 & it becomes apparent that a game with "Dice K" is both a Slow Event, as well as a game of watching balls landing on Lansdowne Street or in the Green Monster Seats. Often reaching the not so magic 100 Pitch Mark by the 5th Inning, by nibbling the plate, it becomes an exercise in patience, or a need to imbibe with a few pints of an adult beverage, like a couple of Buds or something else more flavorful.

Perhaps, this was a sign of what one would call a "Bridge Year", came in the form of losing 2/3 Games to the Woefully Understaffed(& Ponzi Under-Financed)NY Mets, who one could say have an owner's son acting as a General Manager, though Mets Fans refer to him in unprintable terms(Jeffy Is a {bleep}). Daisuke Matsuzaka was clobbered in Game One, just barely making it to the 5th Inning & getting yanked out in that frame. Meanwhile, Mr Johan Santana(Now Recovering from Shoulder Surgery as I write this), made quick work of his opposition. By the Gem pitched by Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde Type, Josh Beckett, was wasted by the Now Frighteningly Inconsistent Jonathan Papelbon, giving up a two run blast into the Green Monster Seats to the Inconsequential 3rd String Catcher, Omir Santos, whose Whereabouts, I believe, may be at the Mets AAA International League Team in Buffalo, NY.

Yet, whenever Dice K is pitching in a National League Ballpark, he works faster & is looser. There is something different when he works in that atmosphere under NL Rules, as there is NO Designated Hitter. He has to bat, which makes him looser, instead of being on the bench for long periods of time, seated, while his team mates are having a long scoring run.

Guys like Matsuzaka, in AL Games, end up taxing the Bullpen into exhaustion, from not going deep into games. Getting to the Century Mark in pitches by the 5th Inning, does not bode for a good game.

He may be worth something to a contending NL Team. As it stands now, with a trip to the 30 Day DL, one wonders about him being an expensive "Flame Out", with shoulder problems. He tends to work quickly in NL Parks.

Question is "What Will He Bring If Traded?"

"The Sign Of The Cross" May Have Touched Off A Vendetta

I was in Jackson Heights near the border of North Corona, a few blocks from Shea Stadium. It was in 1991 in the days before two way text messaging & pocketable cell phones. I was on the job as a Senior Investigator/Peace Officer in a NYC Agency in charge of Licensing & Measures.
The supervisor was with me. She eventually went back to downtown via BMT 7 Train. She noticed that I had made the Sign Of The Cross while passing Blessed Sacrament RC Church in that part of Queens. She asked me why I Did it & I said that I did that out of respect for the Catholic Church. She looked perplexed about that. Shortly thereafter, she asked to be dropped at the 7 Train.
Little did I know but it was the Beginning of The End for me in my City of New York Career.
For this was a person who was no longer a Catholic, but a practicing & vain Pentecostal, who had been divorced & remarried a # of times & was at odds with both The Church, Catholic & Apostolic & anyone who was a Practicing Catholic, especially a White Male Catholic.
To this woman who looked upon White Male Catholics with suspicion, she had a plan of action.
Unfortunately, it was laced with venom, in the form of Tactical Treachery, in the Name of her definition of "Holiness", as she likes to tell people how "Saved" she is, despite committing Tactical Treachery, all for her own benefit.
Trying to obtain a Union Local Office, like President of that Union, she used & abused her power by trying to bribe an opponent by luring that person into accepting a Promotion to a Senior Investigator Position, but no slot was open. This supervisor with certain political power, then went through with her plan, to send a signal to people that one should not oppose her, or suffer extremely dire consequences.
Strangely, I had never even had an argument or disagreement to that point, but to that strange acting boss, I had to be targeted for her hideous scheme to work.
Being held in high regard by your colleagues is a wonderful thing, but there are always jealous people who want to do tremendous harm to one's reputation. The Jealous Ones may not enjoy that respect of the colleagues, so more often than not, they prefer actions such as Tactical Treachery.
I remember being recommended to run the Club Unit, which runs on weekends in the evening hours. But, the woman boss interfered in this. I later found out that she considered this move as an act of disloyalty by me & sought retribution, laced with racial innuendo.
All in the name of her self-proclaimed "Holiness"!
Having a Senior Investigator castigated for failing to put over a person who made no effort to learn her job, in the name of abuse of power, under the Guise Of Multiculturalism, led to my name being blacklisted as a troublemaker, so this cunning, conniving "Holy, Pious, Person", a practitioner of Treachery for the sake of power, could send a message to those who dare to practice a Faith, which doesn't teach vengeance, to move to this woman's Faith, replete with the rationale that no matter what you do, you are already saved for all eternity, even though you are engaged in tactics which tell people that you are NOT a person of Faith.

And I am NOT giving up my Catholic Faith, The Church Which Christ Founded, to join some
Cult which preaches a Rationalized Plan of False Hope.

M

When Somebody Is Looking To Wrong You

It was 1991. I had a superior for 2 Years with a History of Tactical Treachery. She was extremely possessive. In short, she wanted to control people.
It should be so noted that regardless of a high level of accomplishment, one can be driven to near despair, if someone noted for tactical treachery, is the supervisor.
It was in 1990 when I was driving in Jackson Heights, Queens on assignment for a New York City Agency, engaged in Licensing & Measuring. I had been promoted to Senior Investigator in 1989 & had a high degree of Investigative Experience.
I made the Sign Of The Cross, passing Blessed Sacrament RC Church in Jackson Heights, Queens in my car. That superior was with me. She asked me as to WHY I made that sign. I explained that it was my tradition as a Catholic to do so, out of respect for The Church & The Eucharist. She seemed perplexed. What I didn't know about her, would hurt me in 1992, as she was looking for a way to cause trouble for me. I had no idea that she had issues regarding marriage & was a Pentecostal Protestant, claiming to be "Born Again."
Granted, I had a reputation as a Maverick, regarding the enforcement of laws governing street vendors, in finding that the official description to be entered onto Environmental Control Board Summonses, was defective, often rendering the summonses to be null & void in hearings at ECB. Using a more legally binding description on ECB Summonses, rendered fines against the respondents. Yet, I was labeled a troublemaker for doing that, because it would cause for questions to be asked of those who came up with the defective descriptions, as well as questions for those people who defended the system of what one would call "Bad Paper".
End of Part 1

Labels: , ,

Part 2 of When Somebody Is Looking To Wrong You

You get the job done thoroughly, which is causing that supervisor to be ill at ease. That boss is fearful that she might be in some kind of trouble with various political types, as she plays the political game which you are NOT Playing. Your conscience is clear-her conscience is not clear.
I found that out & it was not pretty. I was being considered for promotion & special assignment to an elite unit.
But this supervisor was looking for people who had "Lackey Potential"(No, not a certain Red Sox Starter), in short, a stooge of hers, who she could manipulate into doing her bidding. She approaches the enforcement brass that she has a feeling that I could not be trusted. Then, she, being a cunning individual, asked for some woman who was being bounced around various units & not working out at all. This supervisor had an idea. She was looking for the top spot in the union local & had opposition, so she approached that person with an offer to have her promoted to Senior Investigator. But she needed a slot to open up. This is when the action heated up & she requested this investigator for me to train.
Unfortunately, the only way to help this person to stay on the job was to harass me on a daily basis with threats that I had better put her over. If this investigator was so "Excellent", why in 1993 was it determined that this person, despite all these glowing evaluations which was a sign of coercion, had to have her probation time extended?
The harassment took a toll & I ended up on a blacklist, because someone who is distrustful & shadowy, can use coercion for private gain. Seeing Psychiatrists because I didn't play along with an illicit scheme is a game played by people like this, who have no conscience.
Then, to top off her scheme, she told me how Holy & Born Again Christian she was. There is a problem with that in since when is Tactical Treachery a Sacrament?
In 1992, I received financial aid from DC 37. In 2008, someone made sure that the aid was not coming. It was to teach a lesson to anyone that if you don't play along with a scheme & schemers, you will pay dearly.
At least my conscience is clear. I wouldn't have one had I played along.
The Schemers Gains are NOTHING but Blood Money, anyway.

The tumblr-Posterous "Debate"

I know this-tumblr Vs Posterous has a bit of the Mac Vs PC Essence to it, but users of both have different needs.
Now, back in January until April, I had produced video coverage of the Knights Of Columbus Free Throw Basketball Championship. For two contests, I recorded the contests on my iPod Touch 4G & connected the contest via my eMac to various Web-Sharing Services like blip.tv, Vimeo.com, DailyMotion.com & YouTube.com. Then, the other rounds, thanks to certain apps, were sent directly, via Wi-Fi Hotspots to DailyMotion & YouTube, eventually re-adding Vimeo because of their app. But, I wanted to head back to blip.tv with the competitions.
I downloaded the tumblr app & added coverage to tumblr.
I tried the Socialcam app out & found out about Posterous. I did a bit of research & found that Posterous could be something valuable as my loader to blip.tv, allowing me to cross post with blip.tv w/o having to buy for US$4.99, the blip.tv uploader app.
You see, Posterous is good for a wide area, while tumblr is good for localized coverage.
That tumblr links over from Vimeo is a good thing & tumblr can also carry video natively, is a good thing. It is good that it can handle audio from this device is good as well. It is just that when one needs a network crossposter, Posterous is a nice, free solution. Tumblr is a great solution for posting as well if you aren't trying to post to a wide area.
I like the ease of use of both tumblr & Posterous. One has to know what one's needs are.

K of C Free Throw Super Networks

There are Four Networks called Super Networks in operation.
Network I operates from the Posterous.com iPhone App. Posterous feeds blip.tv, which has an iTunes Download+links to Facebook & Twitter. Posterous also feeds Vimeo.com. Vimeo also feeds ShowYou.com & tumblr.com.
YouTube will join the Posterous feed during Network II Operations. On Network II, iVideo.ie will also be part of this feed. Carrying all feeds except for Parish Feeder Competition will be DailyMotion.com(Re-Classified As Network IV, due to not being linked via Posterous).
Network III is for Parish Feeder, consisting of Vimeo.com, ShowYou.com & tumblr.com. Feed will come from Vimeo.com, with feeds to Facebook.com & Twitter.com.
Network IV is seen primarily overseas on a # of European Websites & in The Pacific Rim. There is now a huge North American Operation, Headquartered in Midtown Manhattan.
Network III is a practice run. Vimeo & tumblr are NYC Based, while ShowYou is in San Francisco.
Network I will, with Network IV, carry Round I(Council). Network II will carry Round II(District) with Network IV. Networks I & IV to carry Rounds III & IV.
Network II will operate only in Round II.
YouTube Coverage will be limited to 1 Round since the viewers from round 1 deserted, with a whopping 65% drop in viewership.
And blip.tv delivers ad revenue via #s of viewers-the more, the much better, so blip.tv is being emphasized all during the coverage. It is the Primary Network for these competitions. There is no more emphasis on YouTube.

Vimeo & DailyMotion Are In The Conversation

I was at Barnes & Noble-Forest Hills & found this fact to be interesting:
Vimeo is very-well known & so is DailyMotion. Why else would they both be Primary Networks for Knights Of Columbus Free Throw Coverage! The Same goes for blip.tv.
So WHY do the Local Yokels in East Glendale, Queens, DEMAND YouTube ONLY Coverage of The Competitions? I have always wondered about Jimmy Breslin's Fascination with East Glendale. Now, I KNOW Why he is so fascinated-he finds many of these people to be of so low tolerance of other's thought processes. That in Forest Hills, they are open to blip.tv, Vimeo & DailyMotion, I find it a joy to Programme to regions other than East Glendale, where there is much gnashing of teeth if an event such as the Free Throw, isn't on YouTube, where Quality & Intelligence aren't really tolerated. Talented Performers are more of a Vimeo Type of People. Show-Oafs tend to head to YouTube with their conspiracy of the day videos, or just being a vain a--wipe, who brags about being on the world"s largest pile of junk video service.
The 1st Round of The '11 K of C Free Throw, drew 506 Viewers. The 2nd Round drew 178 Viewers, a 65% drop. Yet, these East Glendale Know Alls, tell a Producer-Director that only in YouTube does one get #s. Yet, DailyMotion & Vimeo Views showed steady increases, with Vimeo showing over 600 Views & DailyMotion showing 560+views, both services dwarfed by YouTube, which has crept up to 762 Views+31 on VodPod, which #s are add ons for Long Island Final & Queens Final Coverage. Consider that blip.tv is the BETTER network for this kind of coverage, that drew 365 Viewers for Round 1 Coverage ONLY, East Glendalers are barking up the wrong tree. With blip.tv back in the equation, some decent work will be done with coverage. Sharing in ad revenue will be a good thing. LI Final Coverage will be added to Posterous.com, beginning today from the Vimeo feed. Council Coverage from the Vimeo feed will also be added. This is NOT an all YouTube Show. YouTube is sooooo yesterday, if you know what I mean.
Lansdowne126-MMD Productions changed the way the Free Throw is produced. YouTube isn't the only show in town as blip.tv, Vimeo & DailyMotion are any indication. Making it available on other outlets, will attract more viewers. Not everyone likes YouTube.

So Far, Two Entertainment Gigs

Friday Night at Ideal Glass, an experimental East Village Theatre, I will be at a performance of "St. Hollywood", a multimedia satirical look at the World of Hollywood. It is from there, I will enter the World of Street Performer, promoting the show.
On Saturday in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, I will be part of a show called "Useless Skills-5 Seconds", as part of CollegeHumor.com.
I am awaiting information on a possible part in a parody film about people reacting to a YouTube Celebrity(Possibly Working Thursday).
One thing about the entertainment business is the "All Or Nothing" part. Sometimes you work for stretches & then there is little to nothing for awhile.

It was the wise words of a Priest I know, who told me to be patient & that many actors/actresses are often busing tables, even though they are actors/actresses. It is great advice. Thank You, Monsignor.

I think that Mass is in order for prayer & guidance in that regard.

Brooklyn-Where To Me, Everything Begins

Life, for me, began in Brooklyn in 1955. Elementary School also was a "Brooklyn" experience.
And, when I entered the world of Reaction Stage Theatre, it too was in Brooklyn. In regards to being in a small film or web series, that too was a "Brooklyn" experience.
And now, in regards to another web based series, it is back to Brooklyn, again.
Ahhh! The Old Homeland, Brooklyn!

Now Back To Red Sox Nation

Courtesy of Posterous, I can now write my Red Sox posts, without having to open my Mobile Safari Browser, which can be a pain in the tuchas.
The NY Yankees are starting to look so "1965"ish. What is meant by that is "Ancient". If you were a Baseball Fan in that time, you noticed an anomaly in that year-The NY Yankees were NOT going anywhere in that year. They had aged & NOT like Fine Wine, as they were becoming bitter like Vinegar. Even that mainstay, Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra, crossed the Tri-Borough Bridge to finish his playing days in Shea Stadium in Corona, Queens, as well as be a 1st Base Coach for the Then-Fledgling NY Mets in The National League. Imagine, Yogi ending his days in the NL!
And now, another Yankees Catcher of considerable length, one Jorge Posada, soon to be 40, now a Designated Hitter, is an angry man. Is it that his body is betraying him? Face it, being crouched down behind that plate takes a toll on knees. Even Yogi, who had some speed, eventually moved to Right Field, which is where he retired from playing. As a child, Yogi got his agility from playing Soccer, so his transition to Right Field was pretty smooth.
In Yogi's Era, there was no Designated Hitter.
Posada should count his blessings that he is still around.
Derek Sanderson Jeter is around & is slowing down. When I was a child in Brooklyn, 35 was considered OLD for Baseball. Now, 43 is the new 35.
Now, should the Yankees finish nowhere near post-season, which is a real possibility, their "Fans"(To use the term loosely), will wail, moan & gnash their teeth. Their real fans will still turn out, but the Hipsters & Social Climbers won't be around.
Imagine a Post-Season Without The NY Yankees!
Now THAT Would Be Nice.

M

After Awhile, Got Called For A Gig

Useless Talents as part of CollegeHumor.com. Just got it in the email. It was posted on Craigslist.
Craigslist is amazing. One could find many a gig on there.
Now for this app called Posterous-I find this app to be versatile in that one can even film with it & network that Video to various sites, provided that the show originates from this app, especially when exporting to YouTube & blip.tv.
Social Cam may be used for export to Posterous. Social Cam's Video may be exported to Posterous for export to blip.tv & YouTube.

Test Run Of Super Network I

This Posterous is a great micro blogger app

Also serves as a network syndication app

Test Run Of Super Network I



I cannot help but to think that there have been 4K Posts here. Sorry, but I have been busy with Video, my current passion. Did 2 Films in March, in one where I portray a bloodied victim in a dream sequence. I love off beat roles, as they are a challenge.

Why Does Theo Epstein, this year, seem a lot like Steve Phillips some years ago?
