Inability to convert chances costs Crew in Reserve League tilt
Black & Gold goalkeeper Matt Lampson hailed his side's "fantastic performance" but cited a need to capitalize on scoring chances in order to pick up results. Despite creating the majority of the chances, the Crew reserve team fell to Montreal 1-0 at the Obetz Training Facility on Sunday. Said Lampson, "I think we controlled pretty much the entire game. They had maybe one good chance in the first half and even a half chance in the second that they put away. It was a fluke goal. But I thought we played much better."
Columbus forced the Impact's goalkeeper, Evan Bush, to make a number of saves in the first half to keep the game 0-0. Bush's most important save, however, came when he stopped Tony Tchani's penalty in the 81st minute following a foul on Justin Meram in the box. Montreal then scored in the 87th minute when Mircea Ilcu got behind the defense following a long ball from the back.
Following the 4-4 draw against the Dayton Dutch Lions on June 8, Lampson credited the defensive effort of the team but emphasized the need to take the chances they created.
"I thought our spacing was much better, especially in the first half, in this game. And we stayed very compact and didn't get picked apart like at times in the Dayton match. I thought overall the performance was fantastic we just have to put the ball in the back of the net. That's the bottom line."

Dutch foreign minister expects EU oil embargo against Syria on Friday
Posted By yihan On September 1, 2011 @ 3:33 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
Dutch News
Thursday, September 1, 2011
Foreign minister Uri Rosenthal expects the European Union will on Friday agree to an oil embargo against Syria following the violent crack-down on pro-democracy campaigners, the Volkskrant reports.
'The Netherlands is working towards an EU oil embargo and new EU sanctions. I think they will come into effect tomorrow,' Rosenthal is quoted as saying on Thursday.
The embargo would involve a ban on the import of crude oil and oil products from Syria. In addition, officials are working out a ban on the financing of insurance for oil transports, the paper said. This will also make it difficult for non-EU countries to import Syrian oil.

The PSU Weather Center Web site received more than 5,000,000 hits during Hurricane Charley in August. As the storm was approaching Florida's coast and shortly after landfall, the site was receiving more than 50 requests per second. That represents more than 300,000 viewers per hour.
According to Professor of Meteorology James Koermer, it was the largest number of visitors the site has ever had. He attributes the large volume to the site's prominent listing on the front page of the Drudge Report, a popular Internet news site. The Report's "stats and snaps" headline brought Web viewers to the PSU Weather Center's tropical weather page.
The Weather Center pages included advisories, plotted the storm's track and featured images of satellite photos, radar loops and short cuts to other radar images.
Koermer notes that the Weather Center has received a large number of e-mails thanking the Center for providing them with important information about the storm. One reason the site was so popular, he added, is that people can get on the site efficiently. "There aren't a bunch of ads or other extremities you need to download," he added.
The site normally can accommodate 256 simultaneous visitors, but during the storm the Weather Center had to increase the site's capacity to 512 simultaneous visitors. "The log file (which lists visitors) was scrolling rapidly," Koermer noted.
Started in April 1994, the PSU site was one of the first academic weather sites on the World Wide Web.

Spy app sends smartphone pics to police
Posted By kurtnimmo On March 8, 2012 @ 7:43 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State,Tile | Comments Disabled
March 8, 2012
Snitching has eventually entered the digital age thanks to a new smartphone app that lets anyone, anywhere tell the police: "Hey! That's kind of weird!"
Authorities in the state of West Virginia are encouraging residents to install an Android and iPhone application that lets alerting law enforcement of suspicious activity become as easy as a click of a button — or, for some smartphone owners, the touch of a screen.
The official government website for the state of West Virginia now prominently features a product available for download on select mobile devices. It's the Suspicious Activity Reporting mobile application and it lets users type up notes about any mundane yet worrisome incident they witness and send it straight over to local law enforcement. The app even allows the user to capture and upload a photo of someone they might consider suspicious, only to then provide the police with a detailed visual description of someone who may — or may not — be up to no good.

Customer Reviews
Pretty and boring
Lots of special effects and lots of options and complexity but the game itself is utterly boring, so what is the point? Furthermore, you cannot even rotate the game to have the volume button above rather than on your lap, where you can easily change the volume unintentionally when resting the iPad on your lap. Test usability before shipping, people. Not recommended. A few stars because the graphics are OK.
Great game to have
The game is pretty fun to play, and the graphics are good too.

high ICP and low boost after oil cooler - fixed
I have had a hard time finding this info so I thought I'd share my experience.
Emboldened by FisherMedic and many others, two weeks ago I finished replacing my oil cooler, BPD EGR cooler, STC fitting, blue spring kit, and thermostat.
Truck started after a few minutes total crank time, had to charge once in between.
Had several issues, some I fixed quickly- forgot to plug back in the #3 injector, for example and I had a bad EGR valve, wouldn't open, replaced.
So having taken care of all that, I still had two lingering issues.
First, Scangauge showed ICP was always too high, while IPR was almost always stuck at 14.4 except under heavy acceleration. A/E showed codes P2284, Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Range / Performance, and P2288, Injector Control Pressure Too High.
I did a lot of searching and found references for ICP too low, but little to help with this code. Some said it could take 150 miles to get the air out after the STC fitting opened the high pressure oil system, but double that still didn't help. ICP Volts was pretty steady and within range, so I mostly rejected a bad sensor.
I ordered another new IPR screen kit and this weekend I finally got around to pulling the IPR to check it. DieselTechRon has a video showing how to get to it without pulling the turbo. Still a pain to get the heat shield to snap back on the IPR though. Found the new screen I had just installed was all sucked in but didn't appear to be open. Apparently I wasn't as clean as I thought I was under the oil cooler. Anyway, IPR and ICP are now behaving so I guess that was the problem, don't know if it will come back or not.
Second, before the work it had been easy to hit around 30psi boost, but now it wouldn't get over 12. It also felt weaker than before. Last weekend I tried reseating the turbo inlet to y-pipe but it didn't help. Never did hear anything that sounded like a exhaust or CAC leak. MAP, EBP and BAR were all close together at KOEO, but not identical- I didn't really expect that to be the problem, but kept it in mind just in case.
Today I removed the fitting under the EBP sensor and with a few seconds run time, found that it was passing gas well, and I had been concerned whether I'd tightened it up well enough the first time, I think it was fine. Next I checked the MAP hose, (wouldn't you know I didn't try the easiest thing first) and found the hose had a hole in it just above the intake manifold nipple. It was so close to the end that I was able to just cut the bad part and had enough left to use the hose (it's Sunday or I would have just gone to buy a new hose).
Took it for a test drive and all seems to be well. IPR and ICP are behaving normally again, and boost is back where it belongs (man these things can scat!).
So I think I am going to finally call my job a success, thanks to the help from these forums

Judge orders Hostess, union to mediation; liquidation halted for now
NEW YORK (AP) -- Twinkies won't die that easily after all.
Hostess Brands Inc. and its second largest union will go into mediation to try and resolve their differences, meaning the Irving, Texas-based company won't go out of business just yet.
The news came Monday after Hostess moved to liquidate and sell off its assets in bankruptcy court citing a crippling strike last week.
Early last Friday, the company announced plans to shut down all distribution centers, including the Tulsa Wonder Bread plant, leaving about 160 people with jobs locally and more than 18,000 company-wide.
The decision came after striking workers failed to return to work by a deadline issued by company leaders. The company warned employees if they didn't return to work by 5 p.m. EST last Thursday the company would liquidate.
The case is being heard by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y.
The bankruptcy judge hearing the case says that the parties haven't gone through the critical step of mediation and asked the lawyer for the bakery's union to ask his client, who wasn't present, if he would agree to participate.
Hostess was planning to sell off about $29 million in excess product ingredients.
Some of the liquidation money was expected to be used to pay bonuses for senior managers. The rest will go toward shutting down stores and offices.
Meanwhile, baked goods will be sold at going-out-of-business sales, donated to charity or destroyed.

POSTED: 10:01 a.m. HST, Sep 15, 2010
Hilton Hawaiian Village union workers, who have been working without a contract since June, are taking a strike vote today.
The vote, which will affect 1,400 UNITE HERE! Local 5 workers, is part of the national Hotel Workers Rising campaign that links union workers in about 15 states, said Local 5 Spokesman Cade Watanabe. Unionized workers in Chicago hotels overwhelmingly approved a strike vote in August and workers in San Francisco also are slated to take a strike vote today, Watanabe said.
"We are expecting that workers here also will authorize this next step in our campaign," he said. "It reflects the sentiment of working families in this community. We won't let large corporate, mainland owners ruin our jobs like they did our economy."
Cerberus Partners LP, a New York investment group, has owned the majority stake in Starwood's Kyo-ya Hotels & LLP since 2004. Similarly, Hilton is owned by Blackstone Group, one of the nation's largest private equity firms, and the Hyatt Regency Waikiki and Waikiki Marriott are both owned by subsidiaries of Goldman Sachs.
While Local 5 and the hotel owners agreed to a four-year contract in 2006 that included wage increases of up to $2.40 an hour for nontipped employees, as well as improved housekeeping workload standards and continued family medical benefits, this year's efforts are more strained. Relations between Local 5, which represents some 6,000 Hawaii hotel workers at Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Starwood branded properties, have been contentious.
In July, some 100 hotel union demonstrators and their supporters were arrested during a sit-down in front of the Hyatt Regency Beach Resort & Spa that disrupted traffic on Kalakaua Avenue in front of Waikiki Beach. And, less than two weeks ago, Hyatt workers said they went on a one-day strike to send a message to the hotel's management and owners that workers want better wages, conditions and benefits.
While Hawaii's union workers point to improved occupancy as a reason to protect jobs, beef up staffing levels and at least maintain wages and benefits, hoteliers are crying poverty. Hawaii hotel managers and owners say that their properties have not fully rebounded from the steep drops of the last few years and that profitability could still be years out. Costs have continued to rise rapidly, yet room rates continue to be anemic, they said.

Cornwall Councillor exposed over fake MBE claim
Posted: April 24, 2014|
A CORNWALL councillor who claimed to have been appointed a Member of the British Empire was never awarded the honour and claims to have been the victim of an "elaborate and malicious hoax".
Terry Wilkins, Conservative councillor for Illogan, appears on Cornwall Council's register and in all correspondence as Terry Wilkins, MBE.
But after an investigation by the West Briton, the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, which oversees the honours system, said it had no record of Mr Wilkins holding an honour.
The councillor initially refused to comment on the allegations but as the newspaper went to press, he emailed with an explanation.
Related content
He said that while working in the Metropolitan Police 19 years ago, he was told he had been awarded an MBE, but never attended the ceremony and put the medal that he'd received away in a drawer.
It was only after being contacted by the West Briton that he said he looked into the issue and discovered he had been deceived by an "aggrieved ex-colleague".
Mr Wilkins was elected to Cornwall Council in 2009. He has been a member of the children and adolescent mental health select committee, the health and social care scrutiny committee and the west sub area planning committee.
His council profile page reads Terry Wilkins, MBE.
Rachel Wells, from the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, which oversees the honours system, said: "Despite a search we can find no trace of any living person with the name Terence (or Terry, Terrence or Terrance) E Wilkins having received an MBE or any other British honour for which we hold records.
"Our records cover appointments to the Orders of the Garter, the Order of the Bath, the Order of St Michael and St George, the Royal Victorian Order and the Order of the British Empire."
Cornwall Conservative Party says it is conducting an investigation.
Fellow Illogan Parish Council member Stephen Richardson has led calls for Mr Wilkins, who was elected in 2009, to step down from his position.
He said: "Mr Wilkins should seriously consider his position. I am considering reporting both himself and the Conservative Party to the appropriate authority, as I believe this to be electoral fraud."
The councillor has also told constituents he had an Open University degree in social science, but the institution says it has no record of anyone by that name enrolling on a course.
His LinkedIn profile page says he has a 2:1 (pending) in Health and Wellness.
Mr Wilkins again refused to comment the matter.
An Open University spokesman said: "Due to rare mistakes from our computer records we cannot 100 per cent confirm that Terry Wilkins has never been awarded a degree at the Open University.
"However, our records do indicate that nobody with his name has ever enrolled on a course at the university."
A Cornwall Conservative Party spokesman said: "We are currently conducting an internal investigation into this matter."

Creating a Lean and Green Business System is packed with case studies and examples of companies going lean and green simultaneously. The book reminds us that there's so much more to 'lean' than simply cutting waste and reducing costs to protect the bottom line. Indeed, the authors suggest that those companies that obsess about waste and cost reduction, to the exclusion of all else, will never secure the profound cultural changes on which true success increasingly depends.

VODAFONE will create 750 new jobs at a Tasmanian call centre in a Federal Government-backed plan to move the telco's offshore jobs to the Apple Isle.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard will today announce a $4 million package that will enable the Kingston Vodafone Hutchinson call centre to double the number of permanent employees to 1500.
It will also create extra jobs for the construction industry as the telecommunication company expands operations at its Huntingfield site.
The Tasmanian government will provide $850,000 for infrastructure costs and waive payroll tax for new employees, as part of the deal to get Vodafone to move its offshore operations to the state.
Vodafone Hutchinson will create up to 70 extra jobs a month over the next twelve months, for a total of 750 jobs.
Ms Gillard said yesterday the new jobs would include positions in highly skilled and technical roles and widen employment opportunities for Tasmanians.

Sue Philips of Queensland Posted at 12:55 AM March 01, 2013
Another $4 million taxpayer dollars down the drain. Why doesn't she put that money into something worthwhile instead of bribing a telco that isn't worth a pinch of p... Sounds like she's after votes. Pity she can't put that sort of money into worthwhile projects like helping small businesses who have been affected directly and indirectly by two major floods over the past two years. I am so sick of unnecessary wastage when my husbnad and I stand to lose our home because of lack of work.

fixing the economy does not mean cherry picking your mates companies and giving them a bunch of money to hire a few more staff, how is that sustainable! if it made business sense to employ tasmanians instead of indians they would have done it already, just giving them a bunch of cash and saying, hire more people, is so unsustainable and retarded that it makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Please julia, please just call an early election, my generation cannot afford your debt.

When will this inept socialist government realize, industry must be competitive, in can not be propped up. How many companies have taken advantage of the Australian taxpayer only to go back offshore. Australia is too expensive and non-productive - and all under Labor.

proud Ozie mum of Melb Posted at 4:45 AM March 01, 2013
Finally!! Thank goodness for some common sense. If we don't invest in training our own then Australia will be literally out of sync with just about everything technical because no one will have any knowledge. Global trade is a good thing, as long as it's mutually beneficial, but our essential services should really be managed in our own beautiful country anyhow. We cannot build infrastructure and then maintain it with all our jobs going overseas and/or constant importation of foreign labour. It won't work in the long-term. It's not good sense. Our young people (and some of us oldies too) need a future. Something we can count on. That we have control over. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Funny how sometimes we don't know how good things are until we loose them. I hope everyone gets behind this and is supportive, there's been too much bad news the last few years. Lets prove to ourselves that we can work together for good long-term outcomes. For all of us. Let's be tolerant of any teething problems (if any lol) so that we can benefit in the long-term. Congrats to all who are bravely forging ahead with this. Telstra ... hang your heads in shame, I'm movin on out to Vodafone!

What a waste of money. The way people are deserting Vodafone, they'll end up with more call centre staff than customers.

Simonzee of Perth WA Posted at 6:51 AM March 01, 2013
Well Labor have to do something to help another player to provide sound competitiin in the mobile market as it looks like we will just have Telstra going from a fixed line market monopoly that was declining in revenues to a wireless market monopoly courtesy of Senator Conroy. The ACCC have once again been exposed as entirely inadequate in ensuring long term competition in the telecommunications market. You cannot lay the blame entirely with them as we see from the Ausrralian Broadcasting Contract and the NBN Conroy lives to operate in a dark cold and damp environment to avoid transparency.

Dear government, STOP WASTING MY MONEY! If Vodafone thought moving jobs to Tasmania was economic they would have done it. You have simply wasted 4 million of the money real workers have paid in taxes. Stop wasting money on crap like this and go back to running the country

Bob Posted at 7:42 AM March 01, 2013
I am constantly amused by how much money our government provides to companies who continue to fail in their area of expertise while costing the Australian public a fortune both from poor product and service, followed by handouts from our tax system. Now we give $4m to an OS company who are in a situation that bad because of their poor service to customers where a class action has been launched against them. We take the company to court to get back the money we have lost due to poor service while at the same time the government gives them a bunch of cash that ultimately goes towards a budget of which part of is used to fund those costs. At least international sporting stars will maintain their million $ sponsorship while we cant make a call in an Australian CBD.

Porkbarelling again with money she doesn't have for a company that has had a woeful service record to date. The Greens have ruined Tassie and the PM throows money around like there's no tomorrow at wasteful causes. Private enterprise does not need govmnt handouts unless Labor is feeling guilty for the harm caused by their carbon tax and the loss of jobs to offshoring - but that's socialism for you.

Brent of Melbourne Posted at 8:34 AM March 01, 2013
Everyone habove me who has commented is extremely naive and apparently unable to look at the bigger picture. Due to Vodafone's past issues, they've been losing customers and losing money. I've been a Vodafone customer for years and despite one or two hiccups two years ago and no issue since, they've been excellent and offer the best customer service of all the three major telco's. The issue here is that if Vodafone's recent hits result in the international arms of Vodafone pulling their funding for Vodafone Hutchinson Australia, we could be looking at a duopoly in Australia. You guys above are probably the same people who whinge about Coles and Woolworths' control over the Australian market, but then bash a Federal Government move, that for the small price of $4 Million, goes a decent way to sureing up Vodafone's position in the Australian market. The Vodafone bashing was 'cool' two years ago, now you look like an idiot. Seriously. Great move Julia Gillard.

Dee Jay Silver Mixes the Old & New to Get Concert Goers On Their Feet!
Dee Jay Silver is probably one of very few DJ's to have a record contract, and now his own syndicated radio show 'The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver' is sweeping the nation with his own twist on mixing country, classic rock and dance for a sweet jam that all agree is a great addition to any concert tour he happens to be on.
And if you'd like your chance to hear him rip up the beats, you can when Brad Paisley hits Bangor on Sunday, June 15th!
And if we're lucky, Brad and Dee Jay Silver will go head to head in a duel!

The argument about whether bloggers ever do real reporting is not very interesting to us, but suffice it to say there are numerous instances where they do the same thing as journalists, even in the tiny public health blogosphere. A case in point is my colleague. Dr. David Michaels at The Pump Handle (TPH), who has been dogging the story of flavoring workers lung (aka popcorn workers lung) from the outset, and has even broken a few stories. Today's post at TPH may be the most significant entry yet. But first, some background.
It is now known that an ingredient in microwave popcorn with artificial butter flavoring, probably the chemical diacetyl, is causing a serious and in some case fatal chronic lung disease among workers making the product. The lung disease is bronchiolitis obliterans. Just about all you need to know about it is in it its name. Your respiratory tract has two main parts, the conducting system, essentially a series of tubes (no, not the internet) that branches into finer and finer parts until it reaches the other functional part of the lungs, the gas exchange apparatus. It's like an upside down tree, with the trunk and branches and twigs as the conducting system and the leaves at the end as the gas exchange part. The large branches off the trunk (the trachea) are the left and right main stem bronchi and the smaller and smaller branches are called bronchioles. Something in released during the manufacture of microwave popcorn is closing off the small branches — obliterating them. Keep this picture in mind as you read the medical notes in Michaels' post at TPH. The workers are slowly suffocating. With advanced disease the only remedy is a lung transplant. You need to replace those bronchioles. They are closed forever. Hundreds of workers have been stricken and several have already died.
But you don't work in a microwave popcorn factory. All you do is sometimes make a bag or two or more in your home. There are people who think of popcorn as a good source of fiber and they eat a lot of it, sometimes every day. Are you or they or your children at risk?
Despite the worker safety findings — and despite scores of jury decisions and settlements awarding millions of dollars to workers who sued after having their lungs destroyed by exposure to diacetyl — neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the Consumer Product Safety Commission have investigated. The FDA years ago declared the chemical safe for consumption. Labels on almost all products containing it call it a flavoring and only rarely do the labels mention diacetyl.
The only government investigators to examine whether consumers are at risk — whether diacetyl is released when consumers pop corn in their home microwaves, and if so, how much — is the Environmental Protection Agency. But to the frustration of many public health workers, the findings of the EPA's study — which began in 2003 and was completed last year — have been released only to the popcorn industry. (Andrew Schneider, Seattle Post Intelligencer)
The EPA's two reasons for not releasing the information to the public or the medical profession are that they wanted to give the industry a chance to verify no confidential business information was contained in the report; and they did not want to jeopardize the ability of EPA scientists to publish in a peer reviewed journal by premature announcement of the results. The EPA had the exposure results for two years, more than enough time to allow the business information to be checked (two days is sufficient for that). The publication excuse is just that — an excuse, and a lame one at that. The industry already knows that diacetyl is released when the bag is opened after popping. It just doesn't want consumers to know.
What should or could change this is a case of non-occupational popcorn lung in a consumer of microwave popcorn. Now David Michaels tells us about just such a case. This is will be news to you, but again, it isn't news to the industry or federal agencies who have known about it for some time. They couldn't be bothered.
The Michaels post at TPH gives the details of the case and also a rundown of what many of the relevant federal agencies aren't doing and which ones aren't doing it.
I don't care if you want to call this journalism or not. I'll let the jouralist guild worry about branding. It is what it is. And what it is is damn good reporting.

Doctor/Hospital Malpractice
Medical malpractice may be defined as a failure by a medical professional to provide a standard level of care to a patient. This may occur in the initial diagnosis of a patient, when a doctor fails to notice an important symptom or simply does not recognize a serious illness for what it is, possibly discharging the patient or prescribing the wrong treatment. It may also occur before or during any type of medical treatment or in post-operative patient care. Medication errors, surgical injuries, birth injuries, misdiagnosis and anesthesia errors are some of the primary types of medical malpractice cases we handle. We strongly support the belief that patients have the right to receive proper treatment for their medical conditions, whatever they may be. We fight for injured patients and the families of patients who have lost their lives due to medical negligence. Click here to read more about doctor/hospital malpractice.
Why do you need an attorney who only handles complex medical malpractice cases?
Unlike other types of personal injury cases, the facts necessary to prove your case are based on the medical records and testimony of medical experts. Your attorney must understand the facts of medicine and the law to effectively prepare expert medical witnesses whose testimony is necessary for any successful medical malpractice or negligence case.
Ultimately, your attorney must explain the medical and legal issues to the jury and judge to recover the best settlement or verdict. If you want to receive the largest settlement possible, you must have an attorney who has both the experience and track record to represent your case; this is what sets Dr. Fagel apart from the rest.

By MELANIE STEELESports Reporter
For their second consecutive game, the Dinos ended in a double-overtime tie with the opposition.
Sophomore Tabby Cummins scored the Dino's only goal at the end of the first half. Cummins is the third leading 3-A scorer, with 11 goals.
Carbon had the game wrapped, leading 1-0, until two penalty calls in the last minutes of the second half let Grand back into the game.
The first penalty kick, called for a hand ball, sailed over the goal.
However, moments later the Dinos were penalized again for taking out a Union player.
The awarded kick slipped past Carbon keeper Dani Long, tying the game.
Neither team scored in either of the two overtimes.
Coach Dave Capalbo said his team should have come out on top.
"We led early but couldn't hold on," Capalbo said. "We took 15 shots to their eight but most of ours were straight to their goalie."
The Dinos play Lehi at home Sept. 9 at 3:30 p.m.

IMHO the advantages (other than cost) of the 645E are:
1) lighter in weight;
2) can use the thumb operated Rapid Winder; and
3) built in diopter correction in the finder eyepiece.
The biggest reason to want interchangeable screens is so that you can install a grid screen. The second reason - some screens are better for extreme closeup and other specialised purposes.
Interchangeable backs speak for themselves.
It is handy to be able to switch to a waistlevel finder if you are photographing tabletop or ground level scenes
The build quality of a ProTl is heavier and more durable
If it matters to you the TTL flash capability on the ProTl is good

Williams: It was not meant to be
18 June 2013 16:22pm
By WRU
Williams could do little to help the British & Irish Lions
Shane Williams admits his dream swansong with the British & Irish Lions simply wasn't meant to be as the ACT Brumbies edged to a slender win.
Williams, who is currently playing club rugby in Japan and was due in Australia as a radio summariser, lined up on the left wing as one of four newcomers in the Lions team.
But he could not help the famous tourists as Tevita Kuridrani grabbed an early try and the Brumbies held on.
"We did all we could out there and ran our socks off but in fairness the Brumbies spoiled every facet of the game that we tried to play off," said Williams.
"The breakdown was a nightmare, they had good pressure on us in defence and it was tough for us to play.
"We would have liked to have had a little bit more ball but it wasn't meant to be.
"I had one team run yesterday. Obviously it is never easy to fit back in and I had to get used to the calls and patterns but I'm not using that as an excuse.
"We trained hard, did our homework and had a look at the Brumbies, our calls and moves but as I said it just wasn't meant to be."
The Lions ultimately paid the price for a lacklustre defence and Williams admits it was a difficult opening 40 minutes before a late rally.
"We were put under immense pressure, as we knew we would be , and it was a good Brumbies side," said Williams.
"We were second best in most facets of the game; tempo - the Brumbies were far quicker to the break down than us and if there was any loose ball they would get to it before us. Their line speed was good, ours wasn't and it certainly didn't make Andy Farrell happy.
"Rightly so he had a go at half-time and we tried to react in the second-half ."

Better education through comparison?
That's the thought behind a provision in the 2011 state budget that requires the Ohio Department of Education to rank every public school and school district in the state based on students' performance on standardized tests. The rankings include traditional public schools as well as charter schools, joint vocational school districts and STEM schools.
A school's ranking is based on a school's performance index, which is a weighted average that looks at the whole range of student performance on state tests, from the percentage of students who fail those tests (or aren't tested at all) to the percentage passing and beyond, to the students acing the tests. So to calculate the index, the Department of Education multiplies the percentage of students at each level (failing, passing and so on) by a number: 1 for the percentage passing, more for students doing better and fractions for students scoring at lower levels.
Because the current accountability system measures minimum competency, it is hard to differentiate among districts that are closely ranked.
While the state report cards that schools and school districts receive each year look at both state standardized tests scores and other measures, including graduation rates and how much students learn in a particular year, these rankings look at a single measure of school performance: standardized test scores.
The release of the 2011-12 rankings has been delayed while the state auditor investigates whether some schools falsified student data to improve their report-card performance.

"Ur so Gay," and you even like Soy?!
Blogging about 15 minute It girl Katy Perry's Kissing a Girl and Liking it song, and using it to riff on how I hate it when girls wear conventional chemical cancer-related perfume and makeup (and recommending an non-toxic chapstick while I was at it)…I tripped into Katy's weak Ur So Gay song (below).
Katy's done it again: put out a pop-ular song that manages to flirt, insensitively yet harmlessly, with bisexuality—though really this one is more about metrosexuality…and being an eco boy.
Apparently being into veganism, hybrids and soy milk is a mark of being a girly boy! If that's the case, serve this soy boy a dry cappuccino—though ya'll can keep the H&M scarf—I'd rather take Katy.
