CRAIG Goodwin has played a handful of A-League games, but the exciting left back looks set to become a crowd favourite at Hunter Stadium after scoring a spectacular hat-trick in the first 12 minutes in the Newcastle Jets' 6-0 win over Northern NSW at Darling Street Oval last night.
Adam Taggart added a late brace and fellow sub Mitch Oxborrow hit the target as the Jets made it three wins from as many games in the pre-season.
But it was Goodwin who stole the show.
The Adelaide-born 20-year-old produced three stinging left-foot drives from virtually the same spot, 20metres from goal and at a 45-degree angle.
Northern keeper Brad Swancott did not lay a hand on any of them.
The first arrowed into the top-left corner, the second had the aid of a deflection and the third was a low drive inside the near post.
Last night's haul followed a 25-metre bomb he scored in the 9-1 demolition of Canberra Rockets a week ago.
Job done, he was replaced at half-time by Swiss recruit Dominik Ritter.
Ritter did not get on the scoresheet but caused havoc with his bursts down the left touchline.
Jets coach Gary van Egmond was unavailable for comment last night but Northern co-coach Damien Smith predicted big things for Goodwin.
''I haven't seen Goodwin play much, but I tell you what, those three goals were pretty impressive,'' Smith said.
''He didn't have a great deal of space, he just bombed them.
''The crowd will love him if he can do that.
''I thought Ritter also did well when he came on.
''As a defensive player he was good.
''You can't give any of these guys space. Our boys tried to shut them down, but they are fit and sharp, so well organised.''
As they did in the opening two trials, the Jets dominated possession and field position.
On the rare occasions that Northern had the ball in enemy territory Ben Kantarovski, Tiago and Josh Mitchell moved quickly to close them down.
Northern regrouped after the early barrage and were competitive.
They were unlucky not to pull a goal back on the stroke of half-time after Kantarovski turned the ball over deep inside his own half.
Peter Haynes struck a powerful shot, which was dipping under the bar until Ben Kennedy rose high and got a fingertip to it.
As well as Ritter, Michael Bridges and Mark Birighitti were introduced for the second half.
Bridges was denied by a brilliant double save from Brad Swancott.
The Englishman then produced a neat bit of trickery to set up Oxborrow for a tap-in to make it 4-0 on the hour.
The Jets continued to make inroads down both flanks, but to their credit, Northern held on until the final five minutes.
The Jets have scored 18 goals in three matches.
Van Egmond is looking to add two more players to the final third and the Herald understands a Scottish attacker arrived yesterday for a trial.
The Jets play Northern again on August 8 at Jack McLaughlan Oval and Smith is confident of an improved performance.
''I was proud of our boys,'' he said.
''We conked out at the end, but I thought second half we did OK.
''We changed our shape at half-time to clog the midfield up. We put some young legs out there to combat their mobility.
''Next time the players will know what to expect and will be better prepared.''
Jets (4-1-2-3): Ben Kennedy; Scot Neville, Tiago, Josh Mitchell, Craig Goodwin; Ben Kantarovski; Jacob Pepper, Ruben Zadkovich; James Virgili, Ryan Griffiths, James Brown.
● The Jets have appointed Tim Rogers as the club's strength and conditioning coach.
Rogers joins the Jets from the Stade Francais Paris rugby club. He has worked with the Matildas, the Australian Institute of Sport, and the Newcastle Knights.

Savings have been kicked up another notch for participants in the commuter benefits program, which can put hundreds of dollars back in your pocket each year in connection with the costs to ride the CTA, Metra, Pace and the South Shore Line to work, or to vanpool or pay for parking.
In addition, many transit riders who participated in the program in 2012 will get a refund check in the mail or money added to an upcoming paycheck to cover part of last year's commuting costs.
The major sweetener to the commuter benefits program was added at the beginning of 2013, as the Tribune reported at the time. That's when Congress passed legislation increasing the amount of work-related commuting expenses that public transit riders can shield from their taxable income, if they and their employers participate in the commuter benefits program.
The limit was raised to as much as $240 a month, a huge increase from the previous $125-a-month limit. The change made the transit benefit ceiling equal to the existing $240 a month parking benefit limit.
Now, the tax-savings benefit is going up a little more for bus and train commuters as well as drivers. As the result of a cost-of-living adjustment, the limit has been raised by $5 more, allowing participating employees to have up to $245 a month in pre-tax income deducted to pay for transit, parking and vanpooling expenses related to going to work and back.
In simple terms, participating in the commuter benefits program reduces the amount of an employee's income that the government can tax, and it provides additional tax benefits to employers. If you are not currently in the program, check with your company to see whether it is participating.
An individual whose monthly gross salary is $4,000 could save up to $1,200 a year by using the pretax benefit, according to the Regional Transportation Authority. The example is based on the employee using the maximum $245 benefit each month, which not all participants will do.
But every dollar saved is helpful, in light of the high cost of parking in the Chicago area, especially downtown; fare increases on Jan. 14 raising the cost of all CTA passes; and a hike that took effect Friday raising the price of Metra 10-ride tickets.
Under the fiscal cliff legislation approved by Congress, the pretax savings are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012, officials said. But the Internal Revenue Service only recently provided information to employers about handling the excludable amount of transit benefits for 2012.
As a result, participating transit benefits employees at many companies have received W-2 wage and tax statements for last year that do not contain the amount of transit benefits that are excluded from being taxable, officials said.
Employees should check with their company's human resources department or third-party transit benefits provider before using the W-2 to file their 2012 income taxes, officials said. Many companies have notified their employees that a corrected W-2 , called a W-2c, is being mailed and that the employees should wait to get it before filing their income tax returns.
Some companies have also notified employees that they will receive a refund of overpaid 2012 taxes, either in the form of a refund check or the refund added to an upcoming paycheck.
Meanwhile, some transit benefits participants recently received a pleasant surprise — a temporary delay — regarding the CTA and Metra fare hikes that went into effect this year.
CTA 30-day passes now cost $100, up from $86, and a seven-day pass increased to $28 from $23. Three-day passes cost $20, up from $14, and one-day passes increased to $10 from $5.75.
Metra increased the price of 10-ride tickets by 11 percent, adding between $2.75 and $9.25 to the cost of each ticket, depending on distance traveled.
But transit benefit participants who ordered their CTA 30-day passes for February and Metra 10-ride tickets in late December and in January, before the price increases took effect, were charged the old fares, officials said. So were people who bought CTA passes at retail outlets before Jan. 14 and Metra 10-ride tickets at rail station ticket windows before Feb. 1 when the new fares went into effect.
"Thousands of commuters basically received a one-month reprieve from the higher fares,'' said Chris Wall, manager of the RTA transit benefit fare program.
Maybe it will make the rush-hour commute a little more bearable.

LOVE this song!!! lol
This song is amazing, and i feel like i can relate to the lyrics in this song. I have always worked night shifts, so i was always the call at four o'clock in the morning. I always work night shifts so there is never a quite moment around me. I do not like the quite because it leaves to much time to think. I loved this song since day one, and I will always love it.

The real problem is that PERS is now affecting both ends of the membership. Tier II (1995)and OPSRP (2003) members are paying the price for the extravagance of Tier I retirees who are happy to receive as much as they can regardless of the effect.
Now there's a good place to start. If they are 'representing' a union, then that's their actual job. Some of those are not elected positions, so kick their entitled butt out the door. If they want to represent the union, then let the union care for them, not us.
The only avenue out of this mess is to boot the union out of policy-making positions and Demo pockets. Otherwise, nothing will change but the ever-increasing amount of PERS liability to taxpayers.
So, what is the end game? Our "leaders" don't have a clue, but it won't be good.
As a former Demo legislative candidate, you know the unions will do anything to protect their gold mine. It has never been about fairness, and with the players all on one side (PERS recipients), it's highly unlikely to expect real reform.
Everyone in the legislature can see the math problem, it's not like they don't know what has to be done, they just need to know voters have their back - or not - if they side with their contributors and not their constituents.
And if one could actually find a politician that represented the voters (and not special interests) -- you're looking a a one-termer, for sure.

Hi Ian,
Welcome to Taslug and the forums. I can remember the day that I stop using M$ windoze, no more duel boots, no more "I keep that machine in the corner just in case", a great day. I have been running Debian now for about five or six year exclusively. Most installs I have done I use Gnome. Sometimes I use XFCE and others LXDE. I mainly use these when the computer is perhaps a little under powered for Gnome.
As I read through your post, I did notice a few things. The first is that you have installed Lenny. The version Lenny is not the current version. Debian has about a 2 year release cycle. The current version Squeeze went stable(released for general use) in February 2011. That means that Lenny was released sometime back in 2009. On the website Debian have announced that they are no longer providing security updates for Lenny.
If you switch to Squeeze, then you will find that the version of Open Office that comes with Squeeze is 3.2.1. I have done many installs of Squeeze now, and I have not had any trouble with Open Office "out of the box". What yo might find is that if you are trying to install version 3 onto Lenny, then you might not have all of the dependencies correct, and that is why it is not working for you. Debian make available repositories for each release. These repos have versions of software that have been tested and work with the version. Because of Debian's two year release cycle, there are very few bugs in the repos(lots of time for testing and making sure that it all works). I would suggest until you are comfortable with the way that things work, just stick with the versions of software that come in the repos for your version.
Without seeing configuration information, the reason that IceWeasel(Firefox) and IceDove(Thunderbird) are not working is puzzling. I have not had any trouble with either of these applications. I would try oping a html file on your computer with IceWeasel to see if that will load correctly. If it does, then it is just your configurations. If you can not open a local file, then IceWeasel might be broken.
As I do not use KDE, I am not familiar with Kpackage. I use apt at the terminal, and synaptic within XWindows. SorceForge is not a repo, so I know that you can not configure apt to point at SourceForge, so I would suspect that the same would be true of Kpackage. Again, you might find that you keep running into trouble using software from SourceForge if you are not sure about what you are doing. I do regularly get software from SourceForge. It is a great place to find good stuff. I have had plenty of sucesses as well as plenty of failures.
Let us know how you get on with this. We would be happy to help you in any way we can.

Configuration setting help required
Hi ALL,
Just registered today, although have been dabbling with LINUX for some time. Have wanted to ditch WINDOWS for a long time, and tried several LINUX distros, but some glitch when trying to run installed applications, seems to put me off long term use, every time ....
Have recently re-istalled Debian GNU/Linux V 5.0 (lenny) on an older Dell Optiplex 2.8 gHz system, with KDE desktop option. Installation went fine, but some "components" do not appear to work "out of the box" .....
Konquerer & Kmail, once configured, work OK, but IceWeasel & IceDove with same configuration settings do not run ....
(Java within Konqueror on some web pages does not appear to "work")
Although the installation included OpenOffice V2.4, and worked OK, I wanted to upgrade to V3.0.
I was able to use Kpackage successfully, to Uninstall V2.4 and install V3.0, but will not run, and OpenOffice help file not available (?)
Would also like to be able to configure and run Kpackage to get updated (and working ?) versions online from web (SourceForge or similar or local mirror site)
I believe that these are only configuration settings (?) problems.
Any assistance appreciated.

While most people read a variety of genres, it is important to note that they also have preferred ones. This lists some of the more popular genres that have captured the imaginations of most people.
1. Mystery, Thriller and Crime
Making up about 48% of the Fiction market, this genre is also synonymous with detective fiction as it usually involves an investigation of a crime mystery. In some cases, mystery books may also be non-fiction with retellings of actual crimes. Probably contributing to this genre's popularity is the rise of authors like Dan Brown.
2. Science Fiction
With 26% of the market for fiction, science fiction is very popular as well. It is a genre that deals with imaginative visualizations like futuristic settings, advanced science and technology, travel in space, parallel universes, life on other planets and paranormal capabilities. One underlying topic of science fiction is the exposition of the consequences of scientific advances. It is usually used by authors as a method to examine ideas on philosophy such as identity, morality, social structure and even desire.
3. Romance
Currently experiencing a renaissance of sorts with the rise of the subgenre of erotica through the wildly popular Fifty Shades series, this genre holds 21% of the fiction market. The main focus of this genre is the relationship and romantic love between two people that must have a satisfying conclusion. Reading of this genre is often times looked down upon due to it being viewed as a pedestrian type of literature. However, as indicated by its popularity, this fact doesn't seem to matter to most people.
4. History
Comprising about 31% of the non-fiction market, History has long been the most popular genre in the non-fiction category. Often dealing with wars and important events this genre is reliant on facts derived from real accounts by people and actual documents. Accuracy is often emphasized but liberties in terms of storytelling are often taken by authors to make it more interesting to read.
5. Biography
With 29% of sales in the non-fiction market, Biography emerges as the second most popular book genre. Biographies are detailed description of a particular person's life. More than just stating facts, a well-written biography would recount a person's experiences of a particular event presenting it as an exposition of the subject's life story and highlighting important parts of his or her life. This may include details that are intimate to the subject as well as an analysis of the person's personality.

Budget Car Sales is the largest independant used car dealer in Canada. We are the company that people turn to because they know that they are going to get the best deal in a top quality used car anywhere at Budget. Our company was formed in 1985 by four local Canadian businessmen who recognized the need for quality, late model vehicles, at affordable prices. These vehicles were all to be certifiable and worthy of a PVI inspection.
Their concept took off with overwhelming success, including being recommended by Lemon-Aid Buyer Guide year after year. Budget Car Sales has grown to include approximately 1200 vehicles and remanined in our long time standing location on South West Marine Drive, Vancouver.
Budget Car Sales is the marketing vehicle for major rental car firms and lease companies. Budget Car Sales is your best alternative to a brand new car. Budget offers a wider range of makes and models than you will ever find at a new car dealership, because we buy from almost every major manufacturer. We can sell for so much less because the cars have been leased for a few months or a few thousand kilometers. Not only does Budget purchase vehicles at huge discounts, the initial depreciation is already factored in. When you buy at Budget, the price you pay is a more accurate reflection of the true value of the car. Budget Car Sales will pay top price for your trade-in whether it is paid for or not.
Most of our vehicles have been leased by people like you and I, for holiday and business trips. No, they are not abused! They are serviced and maintained every time they are returned. Every unit has a 100 point PVI safety and mechanical inspection available for you. Inspection, repairs and maintenance are performed and history is provided.
Budget can provide qualified buyers with finance rates competitive with both the new car dealers and the banks. Our finance representatives are in daily contact with major lenders throughout the area, so you can count on them to secure the best terms available. Many of our vehicles even qualify for low, new car finance rates without a penny down! Also, all trades are welcome.
Many Budget cars are still covered by the balance of the original new car warranty. That means if you have a problem, it can be fixed at any authorized dealer. But for even greater peace of mind, we have available a 7 year, 160,000 km. service contract to back you up long after the original purchase.
It is no wonder our employees stay with us year after year. Our Sales Team includes the likes of Shawn Jamieson now into his 23th year, Ian Dumansky in his 15th year and Greg Ginter who is in their 11th year with us.
Our Sales Managers have a combined 41 years of experience as Salesmen at Budget Car Sales, and they understand what it takes to satisfy today?s customers.
Please feel free to come and visit us at one of our locations Monday to Thursday 9am - 9pm, Friday 9am - 8pm, Saturday 9am - 6pm and Sundays and Holidays 11am - 6pm. When you come don't forget to ask us about our 30 day money back guarantee
Our experienced sales staff is eager to share its knowledge and enthusiasm with you. We encourage you to browse our online inventory, schedule a test drive and investigate financing options as well as watch our videos of our inventory. We offer a large selection of all makes and models, Honda, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Hyundai, Jeep, Mazda, Pontiac, Suzuki and Toyota.

The defence of the FA Youth Cup continues on Friday with a fifth-round clash at home to Barnsley, and youth team manager Adi Viveash has called on his young side to use the ball intelligently if we are to progress to the quarter-finals.
The Blues displayed tremendous character in the previous round, coming from 2-0 down against Charlton Athletic at the Valley to win 3-2 after extra-time, and the manager is expecting another tight encounter.
'We played them at the same stage three years ago, when Dermot [Drummy] was in charge,' he tells the official Chelsea website. 'That was a very tough game and I'm not expecting anything less this time around.
'They work very hard and keep their shape well. In the two games they've played in the competition so far they've played different systems, which shows they're adaptable.
'We've done our homework. My assistant Joe [Edwards] and I made the long trip to go and watch them play Stevenage. The game could have gone either way, but that's like many of the FA Youth Cup matches this season.
'For them, it's a chance to come to us with the pressure off. I'm confident, like I always am, with what I've got in the dressing room.
'It will be an interesting game to see how they set up, but more importantly, what we do to cause them problems.'
The game against Charlton will be remembered for a dramatic finish and the manner in which we fought our way back into the match.
The manager, however, is hoping his side have learnt their lesson from a first-half display which left us with it all to do after the break.
'It was a complete contrast from the first game against Colchester United, where we came flying out of the blocks,' he reflects.
'Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition and Charlton played extremely well in the first half, but I'll be looking for us to display more technical ability on the ball and use it better, but if we play like we did in the second half we'll have no problems because we really stepped up to the mark when it mattered.'
The Under-18s approach the game in fine spirits having won 5-1 in the league at Crystal Palace at the weekend.
'The team on the Saturday has slightly different personnel to the Youth Cup team, but they've performed at a consistent level all season,' says Viveash.
'We got a great result at a really tough place at the weekend; I was delighted with the goals but even more so with the performance. We have a lot of players in good form at the moment and it's difficult for me to pick a squad, but it's about challenging players to play in this environment.
'Take Alex Davey, for example; last season he made his first Youth Cup start in a semi-final at Old Trafford, it doesn't get any bigger than that, and that's what it's all about.'
Chelsea Under-18s v Barnsley takes place at Staines Town Football Club on Friday 15 February, kick-off 7pm.
Tickets are priced £3 for adults and £1 for juniors and seniors, and are available from the turnstiles on the night.
The game will also be broadcast live and exclusive on Chelsea TV.

Cette information n'est disponible qu'en anglais
At the beginning of the year, the German truck mixer manufacturer Intermix launched a lightweight concrete mixer with both the concrete drum and the inner spiral made out of 3 millimeter Hardox steel plate. The new mixer already makes up 60 percent of the company's sales.
"Compared to the 4.5 millimeter standard steel that we used before, the lightweight version reduces the weight of the structure by as much as 18 percent," says Harald Schmidt, sales director at Intermix. "The most important part is that Hardox is so wear-resistant that the lifetime of the truck mixer stays the same even with reduced steel thickness."
Intermix is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of truck mixers. It wanted to optimize the payload of its vehicles as concrete is heavy at 2.4 tons per cubic meter. German road regulations allow a maximum total weight of 32 tons, while an average four-axle concrete mixer weighs about 14 tons empty.
Hardox constructions have been around for a while in the field of dump trucks, but there hadn't been any attempts to use it in a light concrete mixer. Intermix teamed up with SSAB to learn how to work with the thinner, highly wear-resistant Hardox plates. On January 16, the company got its "Hardox in My Body" (HIMB) license.
"We are proud to be the first on the world market with an HIMB concrete mixer," says Schmidt. "Considering the huge interest we're seeing in Germany and other countries, we expect it to sell well in a large part of the European market in the near future."
Intermix will exhibit the new truck mixer at INTERMAT in Paris on April 16-21.
