I grabbed a few shares last week at 4 cents so I am in this one. You might recognize that this is the first company licensed to sell 3Dicon's C-Space technology in homeland defense/Scanning applications. Arias recently went public when they merged with TriCord Hurricane Holdings, subsequently changing their name to Aria International Holdings, Inc. Ticker symbol changed from TRIH.OB to ARAH.OB. Here's a link to the new website;

Aria International

A few stats;

About 141 million shares outstanding, 300 million shares authorized. ARIA insider hold nearly 120 million of the outstanding shares. 69 million of that is held by Regent Group, for whom Lawrence Field is the co-founder and managing director. Mr Field is also a 3Dicon board member.

I picked up a few shares last week at .045. Only 3 mm active on the otcbb side, and I hear there are a few mm on the pinksheets as well. big gaps at time in bid ask. Just gonna hold these a while and see what happens.. Nice pick up Quik...

Here's another tidbit concerning a contract in Thailand;

Defense Systems Info » 350 Millions Baht to Purchase Surveillance Camera Mounted Airship From Aria International

There are other references to Aria in this defense blog as well.

I did some checking and 350million baht converts to almost $10,000,000 in US dollars. Not sure how much of that Aria would get or how much would be profit, but I'd say its a good start for them.. I'd like to pick up a few more shares in the next week or so..

I picked up nearly 3k shares more. Not much, but gets me closer to my goal of 10K shares..

With civil problems in Thailand, they might increase their order! Any word on delivery date?

I bought some shares last week. Would like to see volume pick up, cause I think this could run big on any more news. Nice little jump today. Up 59% with a finish at .07.

First, let me welcome you to SMC CaptD. I have seen the recent news about the protestor problems in Thailand, and feel that they could really be using the blimp that Aria has for surveillence. Most of us here heard of Aria thru their relationship with 3Dicon. Lets hope both these companies find great success..

With the situation in Thailand, I bet the Thai Gov't wishes for "overnight delivery" as they have such a large area to monitor.

I trust that these systems will be used for "good" and not for the dark side; I would not be interested in it otherwise!

Things in Southern Thailand are very different than in the North so there is a large need for coordinating information, especially on the water (Pirates) and Terrorists ashore.

If Aria is smart, they will also be offering their help in monitoring the Somali Pirate attacks by positioning their system offshore teetered to a military ship that the Pirates will not attack... This would be a great time to get a immediate grant from the US military and/or some other government to showcase their equipment.

Until this happens or they have their first big delivery, I'm thinking that their stock will "hang" around $ 0.05 until they have sold enough shares to have folks start buying and selling the stock without the entire process being controlled by their market maker($) which would not be good for US...

"I trust that these systems will be used for "good" and not for the dark side; I would not be interested in it otherwise!"



I have to admit I'm having a little trouble figuring out who the "good" guys are and who's on the dark side;
