Fictional presidents like Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers
in Dr. Strangelove) and James Marshall (Harrison Ford in
Air Force One) generally show up in movies only once.
What about real presidents? The Slate website did some
research and determined that Abraham Lincoln is the most
popular president in the movies: He’s been portrayed in at
least 130 films. Our first president, George Washington,
comes in second, with 70 movie appearances. He’s
followed by Ulysses S. Grant (47 films) and
Thomas Jefferson (46).
Some U.S. presidents are obviously less
sought after than others. James Buchanan and
Warren G. Harding have never been portrayed
in the movies; Franklin Pierce, Benjamin
Harrison, and Herbert Hoover have been
played by actors only once each.

February may be the shortest month of the year, but
it’s packed with interesting and unusual characteristics.
Here are a few to ponder as you shiver:
★ February starts on the same day of the week as March
and November (shifting to August in leap years).
★ February ends on the same day of the week as October.
★ In leap years, February ends on the same weekday it
begins.
★ February is the only month that can pass without a full
moon.
★ Once every six years, and twice every 11 years, it has
four full seven-day weeks.

A close shave has been coveted for thousands of
years. It all started in the Stone Age, when sharpened flintblade razors edged out the earlier Neanderthal tool for hair
removal: seashells. Egyptians obsessed over hair removal
in 3,000 B.C., regarding a clean-shaven face as a sign of
good breeding. They used razors, creams, and pumice
stones.
In 330 B.C., Greeks and Romans emulated the
Egyptians by shaving their heads and beards during the
reign of Alexander the Great.
Across the ocean, Aztecs shaved with razors made
from volcanic glass (obsidian) in the 1500s. Then came
the breakthrough: In the late 1600s, steel blades were
introduced in Sheffield, England. Fast-forward to 1929,
when Col. Jacob Schick marketed the first electric shaver.
In the 1960s, disposable razors hit the market, and in
1971, Gillette began selling a twin-blade razor. Then, in
1998, Gillette introduced the Mach3 triple-blade shaver
after spending a reported $750 million to develop it.

The Enduring Quest
For A Close Shave
Every air traveler’s worst nightmare seems to be getting
stuck next to a screaming child for an eight-hour flight. But
when you’re that child’s parent, the nightmare can be
worse. You don’t have to hold your breath and hope for the
best. Here are some tips for flying with kids without
alienating other passengers and losing your mind:
• Keep your expectations realistic. Air travel can be
tough on children (as well as adults). Don’t expect
perfect behavior, and don’t freak out if your child acts
up. Stay calm so you can deal with whatever problems
come up.
• Explain the procedures. Prepare children for what
they’re likely to encounter during the trip: crowds,
delays, strangers, etc. Practice going through an
airport screening line. They’ll feel better knowing
what to expect.
• Decide between direct vs. connecting flights. A direct
flight eliminates the need to rush through strange
airports lugging your bags and dragging your children
to meet your next plane. On the other hand, a
connecting flight can give your children a muchneeded break. Decide which kind of trip suits your
needs and your children best.
• Schedule naps. If possible, pick a flight that coincides
with your kids’ sleep schedule. If they can take a nap
at their usual time, or get a good night’s sleep on a
redeye, they’ll be more refreshed and better behaved
when you arrive.
• Visit the doctor. Before your flight, check with your
pediatrician to make sure your child isn’t suffering
from an ear infection that will make changes in cabin
pressure painful.
• Dress for comfort. Choose clothes that kids can relax
in. Dress in layers, as temperatures can fluctuate in
airports and aboard planes. Pack an extra shirt per
child in your carry-on in case of accidents.
• Brings games and snacks. Be sure to provide adequate
books, games, and toys to occupy kids during the
flight (and while you’re waiting). Carry a few snacks
so you don’t have to rely on flight attendants or
overpriced airport meals to feed hungry, cranky kids.
• Wait to disembark. Hold back when your plane lands.
Getting into a long, slow-moving line may make kids
impatient. Instead, let them play or relax until most of
your fellow passengers are gone so you can leave
comfortably.

Congratulations To Our
Client Of The Month!
Super-Earth Found...
Could Life Be Next?
Every month, we choose a very special client of the month.
It’s our way of acknowledging our great clients and saying
thanks to those that support our business with referrals and
repeat business.
The search for planets capable of supporting life has
claimed a big prize: Astronomers have identified one world
42 light-years away in the zone where life is most likely to
form: close enough to its star to have Earthlike
temperatures and possibly water in liquid form,
and revolving in a regular cycle of day and night.
What makes the planet even more interesting
is its size: It’s about seven times the size of our world. The
second-closest potential “super-Earth” is located 620 lightyears away from us.

A young boy studied with a wise monk who practiced
pottery making. After many years of study and practice, the
boy showed great promise.
One sunny afternoon, the boy was
admiring one of the monk’s prized pots when
it slipped from his hand and broke into many
tiny pieces.
The boy broke into tears, apologizing
profusely to his teacher. But the monk merely
smiled. “You need not be sad, it is still within me.”
The wise monk’s true pleasure came through the
process of creating and shaping the pot, not in owning it
afterward. His joy was not in the destination, but in the
journey.
