MIRACLES AT SEAby Janet Spencer

We can’t always offer logical explanations for extraordinary things that happen on land or sea. Consider the follow true incidents:• In 1958, Chief Officer Francis Schremp was

on the freighter S.S. John Lykes off the coast of Bermuda when he was washed overboard by a huge wave. The next wave deposited him back on the deck.

• The same thing happened to John Craig of Scotland in 1956. When he was placed back on board, he called out to the skipper who was out in a lifeboat looking for him.

• In 1908, James Wilkinson was on the U.S.S. Minnesota, which was being followed by the battleship U.S.S. Vermont. In heavy seas during a typhoon, Wilkinson was swept off the ship by a huge wave. Tossed about in the ocean, he struggled to get back to his boat. Then a huge wave hurled him upwards and he felt something solid and smooth below him. Hands were gripping him and pulling him from the water. The waves that swept him from the Minnesota had deposited him on the Vermont.

• During World War II, the U.S.S. Uruguay was carrying 5,000 soldiers to Europe. Sergeant Cecil Davis was seasick, so he reported to sickbay and was installed in a bunk. A sudden storm arose, tossing the ship.

MIRACLES AT SEA (continued):Suddenly there was a huge crash. Davis felt

himself rising into the air, then blacked out. When he awoke, he was lying on the deck of the ship. He didn’t understand why there was a board laying over him, or why he was bleeding. Standing up, he asked a passing sailor to take him to sickbay. There, a doctor started cleaning up his cuts— then noticed his dog tags. “What are you doing on this ship?” he asked Davis. “I came aboard the Uruguay with a lot of other GI’s.” “You’re not on the Uruguay,” replied he doctor in amazement. “You’re on the Sallimonia, a navy tanker. There are no soldiers on board.” Gradually the confusion was cleared: In the storm, the Uruguay was rammed by the Sallimonia, crashing into her side. Thirteen men were killed, and Davis was thrown from his bunk, falling through the ruptured floor of sick bay. He landed on the deck of the Sallimonia, changing ships while unconscious in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

COSMIC CURRENTS• During World War II, Marine Sergeant Wallace

C. Stich shipped a wooden box to his wife in Fairmont, North Carolina from his post in the southwestern Pacific. In the box were letters and trinkets. The ship carrying the box to the U.S. was sunk. The box was carried on the currents for several months. On March 6, 1946, it was found — on the coast of North Carolina, less than 100 miles from Fairmont. When Sergeant Wallace C. Stich arrived home a few weeks later, the box was waiting for him there.

• Charles Coghlan was born on Prince Edward Island in 1841. He became a successful stage actor and toured the world, but Prince Edward Isle was always his home. In 1899, during an appearance on Galveston Island, Texas, he became ill and died.

Coghlan was buried in a Galveston cemetery. On September 8, 1900, a hurricane struck Galveston, flooding the town, killing 6,000, and swamping the cemeteries. Many coffins floated into the Gulf of Mexico. The coffin of Charles Coghlan was caught by the current. Seven years later, a fishermen from Prince Edward Island noticed a box in the water. He towed it to shore, chipped off the barnacles, and discovered the body of Charles Coghlan. He had floated to shore only a few miles from his birthplace. He was re-buried on his native soil with honor.

A TRUE STORY• The Mermaid sailed from Sydney, Australia in

October of 1829, heading for the other side of

the continent. On the fourth day, a heavy storm struck. The ship was driven relentlessly into a reef that smashed her bottom. The captain shouted to abandon ship, and all aboard jumped into the water and began swimming towards a large rock 200 feet away. Everyone made it there safely, where they awaited rescue.

• The Swiftsure rescued them all on the third day and continued her course to New Guinea. Five days later, the Swiftsure was caught in a strong current and swept into the rocks. It broke up and the order to abandon ship was again given. All on board were saved and they were picked up later the same day by the schooner Governor Ready.

• Three hours later the Governor Ready caught fire, forcing all on board to abandon ship once again. Everyone crowded into the lifeboats— and then along came the cutter Comet, which had been blown off course by a storm. The crew of the Comet loaded the crews and passengers of all three vessels on board, regarding them with suspicion. Obviously, one of them was cursed.

• Five days later a storm snapped the Comet’s mast, ripped her sails, and ruined her rudder. Once again, it was “Abandon ship!” The crew of the Comet loaded into the longboat and all the rest were left to cling to floating bits of wreckage. About 18 hours later, the packet Jupiter came along and collected every person. When they were all assembled on deck, it was found that not a single life had been lost. But two days later the Jupiter hit a reef and sank. Fortunately, the ship City of Leeds was nearby and picked them all up, delivering them to Sydney, where the odyssey had begun. Five ships had been wrecked, but not a single life was lost.

PITHIVIeRsServes 6 By Wolfgang Puck ALMoNd CReAM FILLING: 4 ounces blanched almonds 4 ounces sugar 1-1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into several pieces 2 large cage-free eggs 1 tablespoon almond extract PAsTRY: All-purpose flour, for dusting 1 pound store-bought frozen puff pastry, thawed following package instructions 1 large cage-free egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash First, make the Almond Cream Filling: In a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the almonds, sugar, and flour. Pulse the machine on and off repeatedly until the mixture reaches a mealy consistency. Then, a piece at a time, pulse in the butter. One at a time, pulse in the eggs. Add the almond extract. Continue to process until a smooth, thick cream forms. With a rubber spatula, scrape the mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before use.To assemble the Pithiviers, on a work surface lightly dusted with flour, use a rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry to a uniform thickness of about 1/8 inch. Using serving plates or pie plates as a guide, cut out one 10-inch and one 11-inch pastry circle. Place the smaller circle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edge of the smaller circle with some of the egg wash. Spread the chilled almond cream in the center, leaving a 2-inch outer band uncovered. Cover the filling with the larger circle and lightly press down all along the edges to seal the circles of pastry loosely together. Brush the top pastry circle with egg wash. Loosely cover with waxed paper or parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Using the dull edge of a paring knife, seal together the pastry circles by pressing down on the perimeter of the Pithiviers in a repeating pattern perpendicular to the pastry circles’ overlapping edges. Decorate the top pastry by lightly scoring it with the knife tip from the center towards the edge in half-circles spaced about 1/2 inch apart, taking care not to cut all the way through the pastry. Then, cut a few 1-inch vents in the top, too.

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Pithiviers rest for 15 to 30 minutes before serving it warm, cut into wedges. The baked pastry can also be covered and refrigerated, to be served cold or at room temperature.

A TRUE STORY (continued):• The coincidence continues. An elderly woman

named Sarah Richley was on board the City of Leeds. She had become very ill. The ship’s physician could do nothing to save her. She had been bound for Australia from England to search for her lost son, Peter. She explained to other passengers that he had left home 15 years earlier to join the Navy. He had been stationed in Australia, and she had never heard of him since. In her illness, she called constantly for him. The doctor knew that her son had blue eyes and brown hair, so he searched the ship for a man of the appropriate age who had an English accent, blue eyes, and blond hair. He explained to the man that all he had to do was pretend to be the son of a dying and delirious old lady. “She’s from Yorksire, England, and her name is Sarah Richley—” He stopped in mid-sentence, noticing the look of astonishment on the man’s face. “I AM Peter Richley!” he exclaimed.

• Mother and son were reunited. Nothing heals like happiness, and Sarah Richley recovered. Peter Richley built a house for her in Sydney and she lived there for the next 20 years.

BETRAYAL by LANGUAGE• During World War II, U.S. draft-dodgers escaped to Canada and Canadian draft-dodgers escaped to the

U.S. Authorities hired to track them down had trouble telling Canadians from Americans. But there was one small difference. In America, children are taught the alphabet with the final letter Z pronounced ‘zee’; but Canadians learn it as ‘zed’. When suspected draft dodgers were asked to recite the alphabet, the last letter would clearly tell their nationality. The same technique was used to identify draft dodgers during the Viet Nam war.

• In the 1200s the French occupied the island of Sicily. Their controversial governing methods caused the Sicilians to revolt many years later, and the French were massacred. However, many of the French had learned the local Italian language well enough that it was hard to tell them from the natives just from their accents. The Sicilians asked all questionable people to pronounce “cicero ceci”, which means ‘chickpeas from cicero’. In Italian, the phrase is prounounced with four “ch” sounds in rapid succession. However, in the French language, the “ch” sound had been replaced by the “sh” sound. If it was said as “cheechero chechee” the person walked away, but those that said “sheeshero sheshee” were imprisoned.

• When MacArthur was in the Philippines during World War II, Japanese spies would pose as Chinese or Filipino citizens in order to penetrate the defenses. Suspected spies would be asked to pronounce the word ‘hula-hula’. Chinese and Filipinos have no trouble pronouncing the ‘l’, but Japanese do not have the ‘l’ sound in their language and would therefore pronounce it ‘hura-hura’, thereby betraying their nationality.

• In the Bible in the Book of Judges, the Gileadites are at war with the Ephraimites. The Ephraimites looked the same and spoke the same language, so when the Gileadites had them trapped, it was hard to tell friend from foe. A Gileadite leader had every person pronounce the word for an ear of corn, which was pronounced ‘shibboleth’ by the Gileadites, but ‘sibboleth’ by the Ephraimites. Those who pronounced the word wrong were put to death.

• In the 1800s the Turks and Egyptians were at war. The Egyptians invaded the Turk’s province of Syria, where many Egyptians were captured. The Turks did not want to kill any of their Syrian fellowmen, even if they were wearing the Egyptian uniform. Of course, all of the prisoners claimed to be a Syrian. Both Syrians and Egyptians speak Arabic. This time the password was ‘gamal’ meaning camel. The Syrians say ‘jamal’ and the Egyptians say ‘gamal’. Only those who pronounced it correctly lived.

• In 1851, during Napoleon III’s coup d’etat, an aide reported to Count de St. Arnaud that a mob had gathered outside. The Count, who had been troubled with a cold, replied, “Ma sacrée toux!” meaning, “my damned cough!” The aide thought he said, “Massacrez tous”, which means “massacre all”. The phrases sound identical in French. The order to fire was given and hundreds lost their lives.

• In World War II, when Truman, Churchill and Stalin called for the Japanese to surrender, they responded with the word “mokusatsu” which meant they were reserving comment: “We’re thinking it over.” However, an inaccurate translator thought that ‘’mokusatsu’’ meant they were ignoring it. On July 28, the Allies decided to drop the bomb on Hiroshima as a result.

Freedom from possessions or commitments may give you a more lofty view of the world and increased objectivity this week.TAURUs (April 20-May 20): Your companions don’t necessarily need advice. They might merely need someone to listen and hold their hand. During the upcoming week, your sympathy and kindness receive plenty of notice.GeMINI (May 21-June 20): If you can’t give your best, don’t give anything. You may be somewhat discouraged in the week ahead when others don’t show the expected level of enthusiasm. Appreciation may be delayed.CANCeR (June 21-July 22): By all means, mean what you say. Making a commitment in the week ahead may mean that you will be bound by rules and must take on additional obligations. Remain budget-conscious in the week ahead.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You are too determined to be defeated. If you are happy with your work, your work will make you happy. Remain doggedly on the job in the upcoming week, even if doing so requires extra organizational skills.

Say You Saw It In...

Q: Our Maltese mix is a wonderful, friendly and happy dog. She loves our two children and their friends. But there is a problem. The trouble began when we purchased one of those floor-to-ceiling-sized TVs with surround sound. Our family room is now more like a movie theater. Sometimes, Molly will bark at TV shows, especially if animals are featured. But what really gets her mad are the Muppets, “Sesame Street,” or any show with puppets. She barks and charges the TV while growling. I’m actually afraid she’ll throw herself at the TV. I know you’ll suggest not watching the Muppets or “Sesame Street,” but our kids love those shows. What should we do? - C.F., Wilmette, IL

A: Molly is clearly a fan of Mitt Romney, apparently wanting to see PBS go away. I can’t honestly explain why puppets or Muppets elicit an angry response. It is true that such characters look and sound unusual. When these shows are on, try to keep Molly preoccupied. If she’s busy attempting to lick (low-fat, low-salt) peanut butter from a Kong toy or sterilized bone, she won’t be paying attention to your choice in TV programming. If all else fails, keep Molly out of the room when you watch her un-favorite programs.

Historyof the

World

A few days ago I was talking with an amateur poker player about his playing experi-ence. During our conversation, I realized something: Most poker players have no ideahow to think. More specifically, they have no idea what to think.

Notice that I said “most poker players,” not just amateurs. Don’t feel insecure — I might not be talking about you (although I probably am).

A lot of amateurs ignore fundamentals and dwell on immediate results. For example:In a nine-handed $1-$2 no-limit hold ’em cash game, a tight player with a $140 stack

raised under the gun to $10. One player called, then action folded to “Andy theAmateur,” who was in middle position with 6-7 offsuit. Andy correctly folded his hand.The button and the big blind called.

The flop came 6♠ 4♣ 2♦, and the initial raiser bet $30into a pot of $41. The button called and everyone else folded.

The turn was the 7♦, and the initial raiser went all in for$100. The button called. The initial raiser turned over K-K,and the button showed 10-10. The 9♠ fell on the river, andthe initial raiser won the pot. Andy started second-guessinghis preflop decision, stating that he should haveremained in the hand.

This is all too common with new, raw players.They are extremely results-oriented. Having lit-tle experience, they learn the game from theenvironment in which they play. In low-stakesgames, it’s not uncommon to have six players toa flop. It’s also not uncommon to have yourpocket kings cracked by a hand like 6-7 offsuit.

The first thing amateurs need to understand is that poker is a game ofincomplete information. Once you make a decision, regardless of whatstreet that decision was made on, you stick by it. You are allowed tosecond-guess your choices, but ONLY to learn from them. You shouldnever use the results of the hand as a measuring stick. You should thinkabout how and why you came to your conclusion. Making the best pos-sible decisions with the given information is what poker is all about.

You might be wondering, “Well Tristan, what should I be thinking,then?” Great question. I’m glad you asked.

The first thing to consider is how your hand plays against your oppo-nent’s range. In the example above, a tight player raised from first posi-tion, so you should only continue with hands that play well against theirpotential range of hands. This is a basic, fundamental principle — and half the battle.

Your image is also important. How do people perceive you? Knowing this will allowyou to understand how people play against you. Next, you have to break down the infor-mation from your opponents. What hands do they play, and from what positions? Howdoes their bet sizing differ? What type of players are they? Learn your opponents andhow they play their hands. Cycle through the action in the hand and put the pieces ofthe puzzle together. If something doesn’t make sense to you, chances are that you havegood reason to be suspicious.

One thing is certain: You shouldn’t think about the results of a hand. What separatesgreat players from the rest of the pack is their ability to criticize themselves. Focus onmaking good decisions, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a winning poker player.

I love chocolate. Put a dessert flavored with it near me and I have to taste it. My wife, Gelila, will even sometimes hide little chocolate truffles for me to find in the house when I come home late after working in my restaurants. She knows that even a little taste of good chocolate will make me happy. But for some people, just a little chocolate will do. So, I thought I would share with you a fabulous non-chocolate dessert. It’s a classic French pastry called a Pithiviers, named for the town south of Paris where it was first created. What makes a Pithiviers so special? First of all, it’s based on puff pastry, with thin, flaky layers that taste seductively buttery and yet feel so delicate on the lips. And then there’s the traditional filling: a seductively rich almond

cream. Better still, as out-of-the-ordinary as the Pithiviers may sound, you’ll find it surprisingly easy to prepare. There’s no need for you to make the puff pastry from scratch, because excellent, ready-to-bake puff pastry awaits you right now in the frozen foods section of just about any supermarket. And the almond cream filling? Well, all you have to do is put six widely available ingredients in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, pulse them together, and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for an hour before assembling the pastry. If you want your Pithiviers to make even more of an impression, that’s surprisingly easy to achieve, too. Buy some ripe, jumbo strawberries or plump, juicy raspberries to garnish each serving. Prepare some whipped cream and add a dollop to each serving. In place of the almond extract in the filling, use a splash of orange flower water or rosewater to give it a more exotic aroma. But if you’re preparing this for an irrepressible chocoholic: Before you chill the almond cream filling, fold into it about 1/2 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips, or 4 ounces of coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate. And enjoy!
