Sparks' portion will be about $410,000, minus 12.5 percent commission to the house.

Sparks' portion will be a lot less than $410,000 once the IRS gets done with him.

Thanks for posting the Declaration of 1825. That is an amazing document. You see the seeds of secession over the unchecked power of the federal goverment. I've always thought things couldn't have been very rosy during the republic's early years.

Re: "National Treasure"

I heard that a sequel is being made... I really liked the first one. Hopefully the next iteration will be just as good.

My observation: very few sequels are as good as the first "hit". But I will probably buy the sequel DVD because I rarely go to the movies anymore. If there is a movie I want to see I just buy the DVD.

Technically those aren't your "families" arms. Those arms can only legitimately by used by someone who can prove direct descent from the person for whom they were given. I know people go to those geneology kiosks in malls and and get "their" arms, that doesn't mean you could use them say, in England where Heraldry is regulated.
