In regards to your LCD info and Syntax-Brillian...Olevia only has one SKU at Circuit City and two at Kmart. At Target (their main retailer) there are very few returns of Olevia.
Why pick on Syntax-Brillian when talking about near BK vendors when Olevia has a very small exposure to them? Reply

Seem's Like the Clinton's Think The White-House is a Animal Party House - Support Nafta-Cafta - Out-sourcing - and Pardon all the Clinto Family Crooks .......As You can find out - Hillary is getting big funding from banking-mortgage companys = ask the question - are they seeking pardons and a big bail-out????
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd, head of
the Senate Banking Committee, have been some of the largest beneficiaries
of the mortgage banking industry, whose dollars have provided a strong
incentive for Congress to sit tight and hope the subprime bubble wouldn't burst.
Denise Rich Gave $450,000 to Clinton Library
The ex-wife of fugitive commodities giant Marc Rich donated $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library before then-President Clinton pardoned the billionaire last month, ABCNEWS has learned.
Democratic sources say the donations were made in three installments, the first in July of 1998, the second in August 1999, and the final one last May. The sources did not know of any further commitment by Denise Rich for future library contributions.
Ms. Rich, a prominent supporter of the Democratic Party, had been at the forefront of a coordinated effort to convince Clinton to pardon her former husband, who had been wanted by a handful of federal law enforcement agencies after being indicted in 1983 on 51 counts of tax fraud, mail fraud, racketeering and illegally trading with Iran during the U.S. trade embargo.
Details of that effort, including word of the donations, were described during a Thursday hearing of the House Committee on Government Reform, which has been examining circumstances surrounding the pardon, one of several granted on Clinton's final day in office.
Ms. Rich, however, declined to provide details about the contribution, citing her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The Clinton library so far has also refused to discuss the donations.

Consider, for example, Mr. Clinton's decision to commute the sentences of four Hasidic men from New Square, N.Y., who were in prison for defrauding the government by inventing a fictitious religious school and using it to attract millions in government aid. The commutations were granted after Mr. Clinton and his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, met privately in December with supporters of the men, whose politically active sect had overwhelmingly backed Mrs. Clinton in her victorious Senate campaign. Mrs. Clinton denies any responsibility for the president's commutation decision and denies even knowing that commutation would be discussed. But her presence at the meeting surely underscores her interest in accommodating these constituents. The United States attorney in New York, Mary Jo White, vigorously opposed the commutations, which she learned about only at the last minute.

OTTAWA (AFP) - US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's campaign,
while rapping rival Barack Obama for telling US voters he is anti-NAFTA
and saying otherwise to Canada, tried to reassure Canada too, local
media said Thursday.
A top aide of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper meanwhile was
identified as the likely source of an alleged leak that provoked a diplomatic
fiasco involving both US Democratic presidential contenders.
Last month, Harper's chief of staff, Ian Brodie, purportedly made impromptu
remarks to journalists about Clinton's US presidential bid, said Canadian
reports.
The offhand comments apparently sought to downplay the potential impact on
Canada of Clinton and Obama's attacks on the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) during stops in the US state of Ohio.
news.yahoo.com/s/afp/2...
Canadians deny Obama call
A spokesman for the Canadian Embassy to the United States, Tristan Landry,
flatly denied the CTV report that a senior Obama aide had told the Canadian
ambassador not to take seriously Obama's denunciations of NAFTA.
"None of the presidential campaigns have called either the ambassador or any
of the officials here to raise NAFTA," Landry said.
He said there had been no conversations at all on the subject.
"We didn't make any calls, they didn't call us," Landry said.
"There is no story as far as we’re concerned," he said.

The Crooks are live and well:The Pledge Of Americans for Tax Reform - Grover Norquist
Now we don't even need to go into - How this group filed lawsuits
to keep the michigan primary - Fixed !!!!
But lets look at this so-called pledge Americans have to take -
To this group Americans for Tax Reform.
Every Republican running for office - has to take this pledge -
Now when they pledge to this group - There not pledgeing there
allegance to the Constitution of these United States.
So exactly who are these Republicans taking a pledge to???
There's an incredible story brewing in Washington that is too hot
for the networks to touch.
Grover Norquist, whom most conservatives know as Executive Director
of the College Republicans, boardmember of the NRA, and head of
Americans for Tax Reform, has been exposed as helping Muslim groups
and individuals who finance and support Islamic terrorism gain access
to the Bush White House.
"""Norq... has also been exposed as the founder of the Islamic Insitute,
a group believed to be funded by foreign governments, Wahhab Islam
elements in Saudi Arabia, and U.S. Muslim groups recently raided by a
special Treasury Department task force for funding Al Qaeda and Palestinian
terrorists. The Islamic Institute's website lists the following goals.""&quo...
WHAT SAY YOU NOW, GROVER NORQUIST? Posted on 07/31/2004 5:31:06 AM PDT by SJackson
Court documents to be made public today will trace in rich detail an explosive
allegation that Alamoudi made in plea negotiations with prosecutors -- that Libyan
leader Moammar Gaddafi plotted to assassinate Crown Prince Abdullah, de facto ruler
of Saudi Arabia...
His arrest last September shook the U.S. Muslim community and reverberated through
Washington's political elite. As leader of the American Muslim Council, Alamoudi
met on occasion with senior Clinton and Bush administration officials. He also helped
found the Pentagon's Muslim chaplain program and is particularly well known in the
Muslim community of Northern Virginia, where he helped run a number of charities
and political groups.

Inflation Is Hitting The Entertainment Dollar As Well [view article]
prices have gone up. But, by far, going out to a movie is still one of the least expensive forms of out-of-home entertainment available. compare a pair of movie tickets and some snacks and drinks to football, basketball, baseball (are you really taking your significant other out into $9 bleacher), broadway, comedy club or other form of entertainment. "Date night" is not going away in the long run and it is the quality of movie product is what drives attendance and revenue at theater exhibition companies like Regal (RGC) and Reading (RDI) in the short run.

luv that handy mandy by dis ReplyWhy is Disney Failing in Hong Kong? [view article]
I haven't been to any Disney Land, neither in America nor Hong Kong. As a Chinese, I am very interesting in the HK Disney Land because it's not coming out what it is predicted. It was a disaster when it was opened in 2005. It couldn't accomandate its demand and turned down many tourists. It's not time to critic what it was, but it is time to plan how HK Disney Land can perform better and meet tourists' expectation. China opened its market for almost 30 years, so tourism it's not a new industry in China, especially in the past 10 years. I am amazed that Guangzhou has developed many new attractions in the past 10 years; it was only 2 theme parks in Guangzhou that were similar to each other. HK Disney Land has a western theme compare to other parks in China which is very fascinated to children, but it lacks an excitement to adults. Parents are the one who is paying for trips; many times they will compare economic benifics while going on vacation. Yes, Chinese personal GPD is rising, but still, many can't afford to go on such a trip. Replyer
Not All Gaming Stocks are Worth Playing [view article]
Thanks for the comments. Interesting how Spore has drawn reaction. I'm a gamer, and until it's released it's a matter of opinion at this point. Of course I could be wrong, it could be revolutionary. But what worries me is that EA needs it to be revolutionary. They have a huge investment in the game, and they expect people to create worlds and then others can visit their worlds in a completely new way (i.e. not a massive multiplayer game, but a massive single player game with a wide reach). It's a big risk, and from where I sit, the game looks silly, not revolutionary. Perhaps a Wii version will help... Reply
