Below is a video off youtube that people are claiming is the face of Theo Kriel, convicted murderer of Liberty Templeman. If you read the comments below, and be aware there is some offensive language there, it appears it may be as some of the are dated as far back as 12 months ago and seem to be identifying him as the convicted. I am sure if you watch the news tonight, it will be confirmed or not. A South African ex-pat who was 14 when the murder occurred.

MSNBC newbie 'pwned' Glenn Beck
New boy on MSNBC afternoons Dylan Ratigan, owned Fox News stunt hamster Glenn Beck over comments around global warming.
On another point MSNBC, usually the uber-liberal voice piece of the American News Networks, seems to have employed a fairly balanced bloke in their afternoons...enjoy

Waitangi Day Twitter-BQ
Kia Ora Team,
Well a happy 2010 to one and all, this is my first post for 2010, and first for about 6 weeks, I have to admit that it has been nice to be away from technology for a few weeks, but am excited to plug back into the 'grid' for 2010 in new and exciting ways.
I have joined TWITTER...I know, I am surprised as well, but here's the thing, we (you and I) are going to have fun with this technology this year, and we begin on Waitangi Day!
Waitangi Day is a really special day to me, it's hasn't always been so, in fact, like many New Zealanders, it was just a day not to go to school or work depending on were my life was at, but last year I had a bit of a 'Road to Damascus' experience that February 6th is actually a day for all New Zealanders.
I have come to a conclusion that, for a lot of New Zealanders, we haven't claimed the heritage that we are entitled to by embracing Waitangi Day, our National Day...NZs birthday...and this year we are 170 years old. This day is our only day, and my challenge last year was not to let a small group take the joy of your National Day away from you.
Claim it, own it, MAKE it your National Holiday and it will be so.
If you want to join the revolution to make Waitangi your National Day then follow me on TWITTER, on February 6th we will be having a virtual Waitangi Day BBQ, everyone who is following me is invited....let's all throw a steak on the barbie together and celebrate 170 years of a country that we love :o)
And as a little incentive, every person who follows me before Waitangi Day is in the draw for a Toshiba NB200 notebook, a brand new laptop...and a reinvigorated National Day, what could be better :o)
Send this idea to EVERYONE you know, the target is 10,000 of us...which might be a stretch, but let's see.

March for ‘Democracy’…an utter failure
It has to be said that four to five thousand people marching through Queen Street in central Auckland is not a number to be sniffed at…unless you have stated you want to try to achieve a march of 50,000 as Colin Craig, march sugar daddy, stated in many interviews leading up to the event.
The organizers of the march threw numbers around before the event, like 87% of the population wanted the anti smacking law changed, 1.4 million people voted against the anti smacking law…more than voted in John Key…so it would only be fair to demonstrate back to Mr. Craig, through the medium of statistics (and maybe the odd opinion) how this was not only NOT "the biggest march in New Zealand's history", but an utter failure if we are indeed a country on the brink of losing our Democracy.
We could get pedantic and show how many people 5,000 is against the population, or even the number of people who voted ‘No’ in the recent referendum…but not all those people had access to the march due to their location. We could measure the 5,000 against the population of Auckland…but Aucklanders are latte sipping liberals, who won’t even turn up to see the best provincial rugby team in the world…well in the 80’s that is. So let’s measure it against the expectations of Mr. Craig himself, the benchmark he set for success, and the initial reaction of the organising team for this march.
It was reported on Newstalk ZB, on the 3pm news, that the initial reaction to the number of people by the march organisers was ‘disappointing’, but by the time the speeches rolled around it was described as a huge success, never let the reality of the actual turn-out get in the way of a good pre-prepared speech ah? But for anyone to say that one tenth the number of what was the target is successful….is either lying…or a lunatic…maybe both.
Let’s measure that.
If you were a cricket player, and aimed to score 1000 runs over a season…and only scored 100, the season would be a failure. If you wanted to sell your house for $400,000 at a no-reserve auction, and only made $40,000, that would also be a failure. Achieving 10% of your stated intention or aim is a failure.
I can take from this one of three things, either Democracy is alive, safe and well in NZ, Kiwis are just too apathetic to care that their democracy is being eroded away, or most probable, the masses stayed away from this march as it had nothing to do with Democracy, or referendum, it was a protest by people angry that Section 59 or the crimes act has been amended.
