I checked this place out today, and it's very cool! It's a storefront on Van Brunt Street (Red Hook, Brooklyn) that sells fresh, live Maine lobsters. The lobsters live in 2 huge vats with circulating water. They have lots of room to skitter around, so you can see that they are fresh and lively. They definitely seem like a better specimens than their buddies at Fairway.
The lobster is very fairly priced -- today, it's $9.50/lb. They don't have it yet, but the owner says they will soon have a steamer to cook lobsters on site if you want.
Red Hook Lobster Pound is open every Friday through Sunday, but might close earlier if they sell out.

|2011, Schwartz & Wade Books
New York, NY
Unpaged, $20.99 (hardcover)
Neville was written by Norton Juster, author of the classic children's book The Phantom Tollbooth.
Melancholic over relocating and skeptical about making new friends, a young boy takes a walk through his drab, monochromatic neighborhood where he begins yelling the name, "Neville." After just a couple of shouts, he is joined by a neighbor boy who begins yelling for Neville, too. Soon a gaggle of neighborhood kids, and dogs, are yelling and howling for someone named Neville. Curiosity overtakes the group and they enthusiastically begin asking the new boy all about Neville — the boy in which they were all calling. As the boy answered more and more questions, someone cried out, "I like Neville already!" When the kids began parting company to make their way home, the group consensus was to meet up again tomorrow to continue looking for Neville. Feeling much better about the move, the boy's walk back home is illustrated in color. At bedtime readers learn the boy's name when his mother tucks him into bed and whispers, "Good night, Neville, pleasant dreams."
Illustrations for Neville were done by G. Brian Karas. Technique: mixed media. (He started with SketchUp!) Rather than droning on about his methods, I found a trailer for Neville:
The illustrations were supportive of the story and transmitted feeling/mood to the reader by way of the Karas's use of color — e.g. the monochromatic neighborhood at the beginning of the story to depict the boy's melancholy.

My Thoughts
While the story was predictable (it's a children's book), I found it to be humorous and heart-warming — a great book to share in a classroom or a library story hour for early elementary school-aged children regardless if they have/haven't experienced a move in their life. In addition to the story showing readers that new friends can be made wherever you might be, it sheds light — color in this case — on how it feels to be befriended as the new kid.
I plan on purchasing a copy for my private collection.

1. Sunglasses - Sheriff & Cherry, 2. Lace Bra - Monki, 3. Over sized Shirt - Weekday, 4. Shorts - Hache, 5.Sandals - Whistles, 6. Shorts - Topshop, 7. Bag - 3.1 Phillip Lim
This summer, I'm very much into anything that is white, grey or pinstriped ha. I think I'll be rocking the over sized shirt and shorts combo this season quite a bit (inspired by Alexander Wang's S/S'14 collection). I've never been a fan of Birkenstocks but I do think people these days pull them off quite well. I prefer the high street alternatives such as the infamous two strapped Zara slides (which i managed to grab in the current sale), basically identical to this white pair from Whistles.

(Adds Citi official, background)
By Davide Barbuscia
DUBAI, April 25 (Reuters) - Citigroup has obtained a licence to conduct capital markets business in Saudi Arabia, a move that will allow the U.S. bank to return to the kingdom to offer banking services after an absence of almost 13 years.
The business, which will be branded Citigroup Saudi Arabia, will provide a full range of investment banking services including debt and equity capital markets operations, according to a Citi statement.
The licence comes as the Gulf country seeks to diversify its funding resources away from oil revenues under its National Transformation Plan.
"Saudi Arabia has embarked on a profound economic transformation journey and we are excited and committed to contributing to this endeavour," said Jim Cowles, Citi's CEO for Europe Middle East and Africa
Citi, which had formally applied for a licence, is not the only international bank seeking to expand in Saudi Arabia. Global lenders such as Credit Suisse are also exploring the possibility of obtaining banking licences as a number of investment opportunities open up in the kingdom.
The most notable is the government's plan to list up to 5 percent of oil giant Saudi Aramco IPO-ARMO.SE in an initial public share offering that could raise as much as $100 billion.
Citi exited Saudi Arabia in 2004, when it sold a 20 percent stake in Samba Financial Group. In 2015, it obtained permission from the Saudi regulator to invest directly in the country's stock market.
On April 17, the bank appointed Carmen Haddad as head of the bank's Saudi Arabia business, with the mandate to lead the bank's strategy and business development in the kingdom.
There are over a dozen licensed foreign bank branches in Saudi Arabia, including Deutsche Bank , BNP Paribas , JPMorgan Chase and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, according to the Saudi central bank's website. (Reporting by Davide Barbuscia; Editing by Mark Potter)

The Associated Press announced on Thursday that it is creating a team of statehouse government specialists to enhance the work of AP reporters already working in all 50 statehouses, Erin Madigan White reports for AP. "The specialists will collaborate with statehouse reporters, as well as on their own projects and stories focused on government accountability and strong explanatory reporting. Their over-arching goal will be 'to show how state government is impacting the lives of people across the country,' said Brian Carovillano, managing editor for U.S. news."
The team, which consists of team leader Tom Verdin, David Crary, David Lieb, Ryan Foley, Christina Almeida Cassidy and Tom McCarth, will complement the current state government correspondents by providing "extra reporting firepower in on the most important stories," White writes. They will also partner with other reporters "to pursue bigger and more ambitious
enterprise on the business of state government."
AP did not give a date for when the team will begin covering stories, but as an example of what some of the reporters are currently writing, Tom Verdin, who covers Sacramento, wrote this week on the state retiree health gap reaching $72 billion, while David Lieb wrote a story this week on officials in Jefferson City, Mo., withdrawing plans for online college scholarships.

I've been incredibly busy of late. Busy-ness allows one to keep in denial. It's a double edge-sword. I get to walk this world but with only one foot planted in it. I can carry on as if there are no worries or constraints.
Then the illness creeps up and reminds me at the most inopportune times that I have to slow down, breath, and keep things in perspective.
Walking with one foot firmly planted on the ground and another out there, running from the other world, foot planted nowhere.

The Senate will vote on the Keystone XL pipeline next week. If passed, the bill will be sent to President Obama's desk, where he will either sign the measure into law or issue a veto.
After voting on 15 amendments, the Senate is likely to vote on #KeystoneXL next week http://t.co/LPJA2MY00n
— AJC Gov Affairs (@AJCgov) January 23, 2015
According to The Hill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., kept the Senate in session until midnight Thursday voting on 15 amendments — 10 proposed by Democrats and five by Republicans.
McConnell issued two live quorum calls which mandated lawmakers appear on the floor, a move Fox News called "unusual." The upper chamber also voted to have the body's Sergeant at Arms call absent lawmakers to the floor.
The Democrats bemoaned the new majority leader when he tabled several Democratic amendments. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said it was not "in the best interest of what we are trying to achieve here." But McConnell was quick to make an interesting point on the Senate floor after the vote on the 15th amendment:
"We've actually reached a milestone here that I think's noteworthy for the Senate, that we just cast our 15th roll call vote on an amendment on [the Keystone XL] bill which is more votes, more roll call votes on amendments than the entire United States Senate in all of 2014."
"This is the way the Senate ought to work," he added.

Still, McConnell received some flak from liberal activists and Democratic colleagues in the Senate for arguing that the upper chamber needed to work on Fridays, while on this particular Friday he is traveling to the "American Recovery Policy Forum," a conference sponsored by an organization funded by Charles and David Koch.
Mitch McConnell shutting down the Senate for a Koch retreat shouldn't be a surprise — he admitted he owes them big. http://t.co/CDrSIONvAu

McConnell committed to the Senate working on Fridays… … until the Koch brothers call.

Susan Ferrechio of The Washington Examiner argued on Fox News Friday that this sort of political jockeying is "nothing new."
"The party in the minority always argues they're not getting enough floor time. That's not gonna change. So this is gonna be a messaging war."
The House passed Keystone XL last week 266-153, and the Senate appears to have a filibuster-proof majority to send the measure to the president's desk.

According to my pocket Mayan doomsday calendar (for today's modern Mayan on the go), this is the month where we give thanks for all the glorious food we're about to ingest (in the sticky airport food court or the soiled bus station vending machine) before we even arrive at our final gluttonous gastronomical destination. But do any of you gorged and clogged readers know the true story behind the first Thanksgiving gathering and that it almost didn't happen at all? Come gather 'round your Uncle's unsteady lap (pay careful heed not to aggravate my corns) and I'll tell you all about the Indians, the Pilgrims and a very special ghost who brought them all together…
You see, it was nearly four hundred some odd years ago when a small upstart motorcycle gang in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall called The Pilgrims decided to make a name for themselves by invading the turf of The Kings, a rival bike gang from Crackington Haven. The Kings had cornered the market in the local corner shop, not to mention always hogging the foosball table and never allowing the Pilgrims to dance with any of the comely wenches of the surrounding villages. Myles Standish, the leader of the Pilgrims pack and owner of the tallest hat, refused to be treated like a third class citizen (with a fourth grade education!) and decided to do something drastic.
"Since we can't join them OR possibly beat them, let us go far away from this very dumb country and never return (sniff, snoff)!" said all the dejected Englishmen, nearly in unison. So they got on their motorbikes and rode across the sea to Holland, in search of some really boss clogs and legalized snuff (the heavy kind). For reasons entirely unknown, it was at this time that they started building an army of robot Quakers to do their bidding and to fight their future battles. The Pilgrims remained quite happy in Holland and found plenty of low-milage girlfriends in Amsterdam, but this carefree opulent lifestyle soon lead to poverty and strife. When their children began to grow up, they were not like English children at all, but spoke Double Dutch and a few had hidden super powers (such as leaping tall windmills in a single bound and the uncanny ability to psychically will others to fall off one's bicycle). Still the ungrateful Pilgrims grew restless and longed for a home they could eventually call their own.
"This stinks!" cried the Pilgrim fathers and their old ladies. And after much whining, bellyaching and gnashing of the teeth, they made up their minds to invade America, much like the Rutles had done several years earlier. So with the highly charismatic and handsome mechanic Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli and the exceptionally unstable chief engineer "Howling Mad" Murdock at the helm, the Pilgrims converted all their old motorcycles and robot slaves into three giant battleships; the Nina, the Pinata and the Mayflower Madam. Mercilessly attacked by rival players with vicious cries of "G-4" and "H-10," their first two battleships sank almost immediately! The survivors were then rescued by the Mayflower Madam and a passing tugboat named Tuggy (which later also sank). Crowded like rats on a corncob in July, the remaining Pilgrims set sail once again across the great ocean.
There were exactly one hundred people on board (give or take a few dozen) – mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters and a mysterious stowaway named Carlisle. The journey was cold, damp and uncomfortable; the sea was rough and pitched the Mayflower Madam about like a cheap date, and they were two months sailing. The children cried constantly, causing some of the elder Pilgrims to become quite cranky and they too began to cry. Soon everyone was crying except for Carlisle, the lovable ghost. He would perform funny, acrobatic tricks to appease the children and would harpoon mermaids to the delight of the elderly. Everyone on the Mayflower Madam grew to love Carlisle's amusing antics, all except for Captain Myles Standish who never much cared for dead children.
At last the Mayflower Madam came in sight of land; but it was not the Disneyland or even Knott's Berry Farmland (as it was known back then) that the Pilgrim children had been promised. The young ones quickly grew cross and stamped their feet until the main deck gave way, crushing to death many of the older sleeping Pilgrims in the hold. This is why we continue to honor those brave and lazy souls each and every year with canned cranberry sauce as a symbolic gesture of guts and good taste.
Growing tired of their female companions, some of the rowdier Pilgrim thugs, along with the boisterous Captain Myles Standish at their head, went on shore to see if they could track down any young and willing white women to party with. Unfortunately for them, the island appeared to be heavily populated with wild Indians running around like a bunch of wild Indians and they quickly decided to head back to the ship before any of them got scalped. "Man! What're THEY doin' here?!? I thought you booked our campground in advance, man!" whined Myles. "How're we supposed to score with the chicks, with such crazy lookin' natives crashin' our scene? I swear one of 'em swung an axe at Dennis!"
The Pilgrims were right to be scared. The Indians dressed in deerskins (others, Danskin) and some of them had the furry coat of a wild cat or a domestic terrier hanging on their arms. Their long black hair fell loose on their broad bronze shoulders and it was trimmed with feathers and roach clips. They had their faces painted in all kinds of strange and frightening ways; some with colorful stripes as broad as an infant's fist, and others were painted to resemble fearsome demons and comic book villains. But whatever they wore, it was their very best and they never paid more than wholesale.
"Keep cool, daddy," cooed Plymouth "Knute" Rocky, the most "with it" of all the Pilgrims by a new country mile. "Did you get a load of all that wild war paint and their outta sight threads, man?" As he removed a colorful beaded necklace from around his neck, Rocky said "I've got JUST the thing to turn those savages into kittens, baby." Plymouth Rocky then began to fill the rest of the plotting Pilgrims in on his scheme of how he planned to dupe the Indians out of their land and everything along with it.
Myles Standish, Plymouth Rocky and the rest of the Pilgrims (or shills) decided to once again depart the Mayflower Madam and greet their new hosts (or marks), but this time they had a plan. They carefully explained to the Indians that they were "just passing by" and were in need of a few provisions for their annual spring break trip to Cancun. Puzzled, the Indians informed the Pilgrims that it was the dead of winter and that MTV was not yet part of their basic cable package. "Well then," the brutish Myles Standish blurted, "why don't we just set up camp here in the meantime? No use in letting a perfectly good beach go to waste! Say Chief, be a sweetheart and fetch me some hot-buttered maize and a barbequed leg of bison. I'm famished! Oh, and don't be stingy with the rotgut, neither. We know how you people love your firewater!"
Stunned by his guests rude behavior, Chief Massasoit decided to cautiously comply since the white man's bad reputation and bad breath proceeded him. He had to be careful, as he'd heard tales of their robotic Quakers and knew they carried a ghost in their handbag (but would they use it?). So before serving the Captain and his men, the clever Indian Chief instructed Squanto to secretly spit in the Pilgrim's food and drop Mickey's into their grog. Here we can thank our Indian brothers for yet another long-observed holiday tradition; which is to feel both sick and sleepy after a colossal Thanksgiving feast.
At first, just a few Pilgrims reported feelings of mild discomfort and nausea, but soon the entire gang was laid out in bed, vomiting themselves both inside and out. The incapacitated Myles Standish and the other incapable and useless Pilgrims tried in vain to nurse themselves back to health, but before spring finally arrived, half the Pilgrims had died and had gone at last to "the great big rumble in the sky." The remaining survivors passed the time with anatomically correct sock puppets and rude Italian hand gestures.
But by and by the sun shone more brightly, the snow and puke melted, the leaves began to grow and spring break was just a fat, drunken frat boy away.
Feeling bad about poisoning the Pilgrims, the Chief instructed Squanto to show the white man how to plant corn, grow wheat and barley and where the hot slot machines were located in their brand new 26 acre casino and luxury spa resort. You see, while Myles Standish and his men were in sick bay for months, the cunning Plymouth Rocky was going into business with the natives. At first they simply traded beads and blankets for food and medicine, but soon Rocky and Chief Massasoit opened up a string of very successful trading posts (and massage parlors), which stretched from sea to shining sea and every rest stop along the Lewis and Clark trail. Chief Massasoit rewarded Rocky's friendship by offering up the hand of his beautiful daughter, Princess LaQuonda Shauntae (Rocky had to Indian leg wrestle an alligator to get the rest of her).
When the summer came and days were long and bright, the Pilgrim children were happy and they enjoyed playing with their new Indian friends. The Indians would entertain them for hours with tales about the various gods of the sky, sea and forest and how the Earth was created; and the Pilgrim children would laugh, knowing full well that because of their pagan beliefs, they were all going to Hell. When it was autumn, the fathers gathered barley and wheat and the tobacco they had planted, and found that it had grown so well that they would have more than enough Camel Bucks to finally purchase that excellent bomber jacket that they had long wished for.
"Let us thank God for it all" they said with a sarcastic snicker, for they knew that God was more of a Kings fan. Still, they were appreciative and didn't know what else to say, for they were simple people. So they thanked God in their mobile homes and in their little church; the fathers and the mothers and the children (all except for Carlisle) thanked Him. "Then," said the Pilgrim mothers (for the men didn't possess much of a vocabulary), "let us have a grand Thanksgiving party, and invite those lousy Indians and get back at them for the Great Emetic Banquet of 1620!" The men were all in agreement, primarily because they rarely listened to or understood what their women said. Carlisle himself seemed the most pleased, because Indian law did now allow for the spirits of recently deceased English children to fraternize with anyone on sacred Indian land. Say what you will about Carlisle, but a bigot he was not!
So they had their first Thanksgiving party and what a splendiferous shindig it was! Four drunken men went out shooting one whole day and brought back so many dead bodies that it took the rest of the Pilgrims almost a week to bury the evidence. Seeing their incompetence (and fearing for their safety), several Wampanoag scouts hopped in a Jeep Cherokee and headed to the local Piggly Wiggly in search of food. This being Thanksgiving, all they could find were a few cans of pumpkin filling, an expired jar of pickled beets, several semi-frozen pot pies (of various brands and flavors), a half-smashed Big Grab bag of Funyuns, a case of diet fudge soda, a couple of teriyaki Slim Jims and a handful of scratch off lottery tickets, all featuring a festive turkey design.
When the scouts finally returned to camp, they showed their heavenly bounty to wise Chief Massasoit, who immediately suggested an emergency pow wow regarding the paltry party fixin's. The Chief calculated over ninety guests at the soiree, naturally not counting Carlisle. "Oh mighty Kwatee, I pray to you for guidance! Please show us the way to provide adequate sustenance for our honored guests and family members on this most auspicious day!" Just then, the young and lovable ghost of dead baby Carlisle appeared high above the Chief's two-story teepee, with a pizza under each arm and a coconut pecan bundt cake on his head.
"Come! Do not be afraid," beckoned Carlisle. "For I do not want to send anyone away hungry."
"But where could we get enough food to feed such a ravenous crowd and at this time of year? Everything's closed!" cried the overwrought Chief.
"Quickly. Show me what you have, my good-natured Indian friends. I'm a real wiz when it comes to spreading things thin. After all, I'm practically transparent myself!"
At this, they all had a hearty laugh at the dead child's expense, which eased the mood considerably. Carlisle then took the Indian's groceries, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the Indians and they in turn distributed them amongst the drunk and disorderly Pilgrims. They all ate and were satisfied. There was enough food and festivities to last for three whole days; during which they sang and dance, ran races, played all kinds of games of skill, several fights broke out, 11 arrests were made and a baby otter was born.
The Pilgrim mothers and fathers had been sick and sad many times since they landed on this God-forsaken rock; filled with disease, famine and an extremely unreliable internet connection. They had worked very hard at appearing to work very hard, and they were often mournful indeed when their friends died or borrowed power tools without any intention of ever returning them. But now they tried to forget all this, and think only of how good it was that they wouldn't be alive to see such cinematic abominations such as "Battlefield Earth" or "Lawrence of Arabia." And for once, they were all happy together at the first Thanksgiving party.
All this happened nearly four hundred years ago and ever since that time, Thanksgiving has been an air traffic controller's nightmare in our country. Every year our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers have "rejoiced together" much like the Pilgrims; drinking beer and watching the big game while their old ladies do all the work.
Every year some father has told the story of the brave Pilgrims to his little sons and daughters, and every year he's gotten it dreadfully wrong. The true story of the first Thanksgiving has been all but lost over the years, along with the spirit of Carlisle and the significance of his miraculous multiplying meal. Let this tale of absolute selflessness, bona fide brotherly bonding and a complete and utter disregard for the facts be the beacon to light your flimsy holiday centerpiece this year. Never forget what great difficulties the Pilgrims went through in order to celebrate the first Thanksgiving and how hard those poor Indians had to work to provide it for them. And last of all, please remember Carlisle. For if it wasn't for his benevolent sacrifice, none of us would even be here today. Amen.

Notes for Valentin C. Schaleben
NOTE: Because of the overlap between families, his ancestry may be found the the ancestry of Christina Tarnutzer and her two husbands, also on this web site.
Valentin was baptized and confirmed in the Reformed Church of Switzerland. He had stayed with relatives (an aunt) in Switzerland between 1856 when his mother and younger brother went to America, and 1866 when he left. He was confirmed in Luzein, Graubünden, Switzerland, on 20 April 1862. Note that this confirmed his parents and date of birth and baptism and showed that he was born in Schiers. His father is (correctly) noted as being deceased. There is a notation of "vid. Sch. 501". This apparently referes to an entry in the Schiers records. Luzein in about two-thirds of the way up the Prättigau valley between Landquart and Klosters. It is about 8 km (5 miles) up the valley from Schiers, where he was born.
There is an Elsbeth Schaleben, wife of Hans Caduff, who has a daughter Christina (born in Schiers) confirmed in Luzein in 1857.
Valentin is supposed to have taken a two-year walking trip throughout Europe when he was about sixteen years old before he emigrated. He came to the United States in 1866 and arrived at Wabasha, Minnesota, on 6 October 1866, where he remained for a few weeks with relatives.
The manifests of emigrants arriving at U.S. ports show two entries for a Valentin Schalaben arriving in the United States in the fall of 1866. The first one arrived in New York from Hamburg on 2 October aboard the ship "Allemannia," from Hamburg, Capt. Trautmann, master. This first list (number 1112) is annotated "COPY", and it is dated Oct. /66 with a [2] added later. That date may be the cause of the discrepancy noted below. He was aged 19, which is appropriate for our Valentine. The timing means that he would have had to have gotten on the train right away and traveled straight to Minnesota, but there isn't any major conflict, though the date in Minnesota might be off slightly. This Valentine was listed as being a mechanic and he was just before one Joh. Jannutzer, age 37, also a mechanic. The second entry also arrived in New York on the "Allemania," this time on 29 October. This Valentin Schaleben is also aged 19, which wouldn't distinguish them, and is described as a laborer. A laborer seems a more reasonable occupation for our Valentin than a mechanic if he had spent two years walking about Europe. An important additional fact is that the very next person on the manifest is one Joh. Tarnutzer, age 37, laborer. Given the relatively small number of Tarnutzers in the manifests, it seems quite possible that this is a brother or cousin of Valentin's mother Christina Ternutzer. The Tarnutzer spelling is the usual way it appeared in Switzerland. Arguing against this is that it conflicts with the stated arrival in Wabasha on 6 October, though if that was a subsequent error for 6 November, there would be no conflict, leaving him ten days to get there from New York.
Given the similarity of the passenger lists, it strikes me that these ones for the Allemania might be duplicates, perhaps one made when it left Europe and another when it arrived in New York. It would be worthwhile to look at the microfilms of the originals. The second list also has the "S.S. Allemania," master N. Trautmann, arriving 29 October 1866. Looking at it in detail it is clear that the two lists are duplicates of one another, with the later list the original. Here Val. Schaleben is number 477 on the list and Joh. Tarnutzer is 478. There were 555 between decks passengers and 3 1/2 pages of cabin passengers.
He then came to Linden Township, Brown Co., Minn., about 1 December 1866, where he lived with his mother and step-father. this is confirmed by the 1895 census, which showed that he had been in Minnesota and Linden for 28 years (since 1867). Though that census is mistaken when it lists his birthplace as Germany.
He joined the Norwegian Lutheran Church soon after arriving in Minnesota.
His marriage to Ingeborg took place at his step-father Johann Johanni's house. The marriage took place on 1 January 1870, and the church record shows that he was age 23, born in Switzerland, she was 22, born in Gjerpen [Norway]. The witnesses were John Johanni and Ellef Hansen [??].
A few months after the marriage they moved to their own farm, a tract of railroad-owned land in Linden, where all five of their children were born. This farm is likely adjacent to that of his step-father and his mother, as the 1885 census lists him just after them. They lived in Linden until 1904 when they moved to Madelia, Watowan Co., Minnesota.
His farm was worth $2000 in 1870 and his personal estate was $470. Valentin Schalleben, #39 in the Linden agricultural return of the 1870 census: 24 acres improved, 5 acres unimproved wood land, 94 acres unimproved, cash value of farm $2000, cash value of machinery and implements $250, 3 horses, 2 milk cows, 4 other cattle, cash value of all cattle $520, 584 bu. spring wheat, 150 lbs. butter, 30 tons hay, estimated value of all farm products $548. Petri Shellom was working for them on the farm in 1875. The 1885 census shows Nicolaus Weld from Switzerland living there and working for them. They had a boarder, William A. Sebers, a painter, living with them in 1900. Valentin's farm was owned by Verdelle Aspelund and John Byro in 1974.
He bought 80 acres of land from the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad Company on 16 July 1873 for $560. This was the SE 1/4 of NW 1/4 and NE 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Section 23, Township 108 N., Range 30 W. (v. 11, pp. 432-433). A further 40 acres were purchased from the railroad on $300 on 29 May 1880. This was the SW 1/4 of NE 1/4 of Section 23, Township 108 N., Range 30 W. (v. 20, pp. 201-202). He bought another 40 acres of land on 22 June 1882 for $225. This was the NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 of Section 23, Township 108 N., Range 30 W. (v. 22, pp. 546-548) Valentin bought 80 acres from Joseph and Isabelle Flanders for $440. The property was the SW 1/4 of NW 1/4 and NW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Section 23, Township 108 N., Range 30 W. (v. 24, pp. 128-129)
He was active in politics as a Republican and took an active interest in public affairs. He was a member of the Linden town board for many years and served as chairman. He served as a member of the school board in District 38 (Linden Township) in the 1880-1890s.
There was a Nicholas Nett, age 21, born Switzerland, listed with them at the 1885 Minnesota census.
He was one of the founders of the Madelia Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company and served as an agent for it for over fifty years.
Unspecified newspaper and date:
"Mr. Valentin Schaleben,
Pioneer Settler
Called by Death
Beloved citizen came
to Linden Township
in December, 1866.
The people of Madelia and of the surrounding country were deeply saddened last Saturday, December 31, 1927, when the news was spread about that Mr. Valentin Schaleben, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of the community, had passed from this life, the final summons coming at about 11:30 o'clock that morning.
For the past few years Mr. Schaleben's health was gradually failing, but he was always happy and hopeful, neever complaining, and always glad to meet and visit with friends when they came to see him. Together with relatives he went to the home of his grandson, Willard Martin, to spend Thanksgivigin Day. A few days later he was taken to his bed, where he has since been confined. For several days before death came it was apparent that the end was near, and Mr. Schaleben seemed to recognize tha fact as well as anyone else. He had lived an honorable, upright, Christian life and had no fear of death; in fact, he welcomed the time when he might be called to enter his Father's mansion beyond the skies. He was conscieous until only a few moments before he died. The cause of death was heart trouble, coupled with the infirmities of age.
For several months past Mr. Schaleben has been tenderly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. Marie Martin, who made her home with him and administered to his every wants. The other children also visitied him frequently and always found him in the best of spirits, notwithstanding his condition.
Native of Switzerland
Valentine Schaleben was born in the village of Luzein, Canton Graubünden, Switzerland, January 17, 1847. He died December 31, 1927, at the age of 80 years 11 months and 14 days. His parents were Valentin Schaleben and Christine Ternutzer-Schaleben. He was baptized and confirmed in the Reformed Church of Switzerland. At the age of 18 years he came to America and on October 6, 1866, he arrived at Wabasha, Minnesota, where he remained for a few weeks with relatives, and about December 1, 1866, he came to Linden township, Brown County, to make his home with his step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Johannes Johanni, who had come to America a few years before.
On New Year's Day, 1870, Mr. Schaleben was united in marriage with Ingeborg Maria Halvorson, who preceded him in death, on March 8, 1923. He bought a tract of railroad land in Linden township, which he improved, and upon which he lived until 1904, when he moved to Madelia.
Mr. and Mrs. Schaleben were the parents of five children, all of whom survive. They are: Mrs. Henry Martin of Madelia; Mrs. A. F. Hunte of Truman; Mrs. Dan E. Pettersen of Madelia; Mr. Wm. Schaleben of Minneapolis and Dr. H. O. Schaleben of Edinburg, Texas. Deceased is also survived by one brother, Ulrich Johanni of Madelia and one sister, Mrs. Clement Halvorson of Linden. He also leaves fourteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Active In Politics
During his long residence in Linden township, Mr. Schaleben always took a great interest in politics and in public affairs. He was a strong Republican. For many years he was a member of the Linden town board and had the honor of serving as chairman of that body. He was also a member of the school board in District 38, Linden township, during the 80's and 90's. He was one of the organizers of the Madelia Farmers' Mutural FIre Insurance Company and has been an agent of the company for more than fifty years.
Although born in Switzerland, Mr. Schaleben joined the Norwegian Lutheran Church soon after he came to America and has ever since been a devout member of that church, attending many of the annual conventions as delegate. He was a loving and faithful husband, a devoted father, a good neighbor and a true friend.
Funeral Held Monday
Funeral services were conducted at the late home at 1 o'clock, and at the West Lutheran Church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. R. A. Syrdal officiated, assisted by Rev. Nels Evenson of St. James. The pallbearers were six grandsons: Lee and Arville Schaleben; Donald and Elden Pettersen; Willard and Oliver Martin.
The sincere sympathy of a host of friends is extended the children, brother and sister in their hour of sorrow." Transcribed in Thordson.
Extracts from a letter in the possession of Cora (Halvorson) Gronewold:
"... have never been able to find out anything about the Schaleben side of the family. Family may have lived in Troy, France, long ago, no knowledge if it may be on Schalebens father's side or the mother's side of family. Schaleben family may have been originally Swiss and went to France, then later returned to Switzerland. Valentin Schaleben received a letter from cousin Juliet Schaleben in about 1915, following the invasion of France, who recalls was his only living relative then in France.
During the Napoleanic War, some time 1813-14 during a battle at Troy, Valentin Schaleben's father, then a little boy, they tell, hid in ovens (cold of course) and then later tried to get across the border to Switzerland.
Valentin Schaleben's father was a musician in Garibaldi's war and was buried in Naples. That was before Italy was a nation.
When Valentin Schaleben was sixteen years of age or so, he took a two-year walking trip throughout Europe, coming to USA after that. ..."
Some comments about the above letter. First, we now know that Valentine (Sr.) Schaleben was from the same village, Schiers, in Switzerland as Christine Tarnutzer. The Schaleben family is present in the records there for quite some time. This is where Valentine Jr. and his brother Nicholas were born. When Christine and son Nicholas came to America, her elder son Valentine Jr. apparently moved to Luzein to stay with relatives. He was confirmed at that place in 1862, as mentioned above. Valentine Sr. was not born until 1824, so the story about the ovens in Troy (actually Troyes), France, cannot apply to him. Perhaps it applies to his father, and further research should show if that is likely. Troyes was not close to the Swiss border, and is well into the interior of France, closer to Paris than it is to Switzerland. Note that the father, yet another Valentine Schaleben, was born in 1781 so he would have been about 32 years old at the time of the story. It is possible that the story is correct in essence, but wrong about him being a boy.

"Mrs. Valentine Schaleben
Answers Summons
Succombs to pneumonia
following illness of
only ten days.
Madelia and the surrounding country are bowed in sorrow, occasioned by the death of Mrs. Valentin Schaleben, which occurred at her late home in this village at about ten o'clock last Thursday night, March 8, 1923, after an illness of only ten days duration. She was taken sick with Louisiana grippe which soon turned into pneumonia. On Wednesday she was thought to be improving, but on the following day she suffered a relapse and constantly failed until death came to her relief, her spirit taking flight at the hour above stated.
Ingeborg Maria Halvorsen was born near Skien, Telemark, Norway, March 20, 1848, so that had she lived until next Tuesday she would have been seventy-five years old. In 1855, at the age of seven years she came to America with her parents and settled near Stonebank, Wisconsin. Here they lived until 1869, when they moved to Minnesota and settled on a farm in Linden township, Brown County. On January 1, 1870 she married Valentin Schaleben, the wedding taking place at the home of the groom's step-farther, John Johanni, in Linden. A few months later they moved to a farm of their own, where they lived and their five children were born. The children are: Mrs. Dr. A. F. Hunte of Truman; Mrs. Henry Martin and Mrs. Dan E. Pettersen of Madelia, Dr. Henry O. Schaleben of Edinburg, Texas; and Wm. Schaleben of Madelia. Besides these children she leaves fourteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her husband. In 1903 the family moved to Madelia village where the old folks have ever since made their home.
Mrs. Schaleben was one of the finest of Christian women. She was a good, faithful wife, a kind, loving and indulgent mother, and a true and sympathetic neighbor and friend. She will be missed and mourned by many.
Funeral services were held at the West Lutheran Church at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev. A. A. Reece, a former pastor preaching in English, and Rev. P. C. Danielson, preaching in Norwegian. The church was crowded to the doors with friends of the deceased who had come to pay their last respects to the departed, and the floral tributes were many and most beautiful. The body was laid to rest in the West Lutheran Cemetery. Eight grandsons of the deceased acting as pall-bearers.
The Times-Messenger with the host of other friends of the family sympathizes deeply with the grief-sticken husband and children in their hour of sorrow." Transcribed in Thordson.

By Alisha Puckett
As the Association for Women in Sports Media continues to grow in numbers, we're finding out all sorts of good news to report about our members. Here's a collection of recent news on our AWSM friends and colleagues:
• Tori Petry, a 2012 AWSM intern who graduated from the University of Florida, has accepted a new role as a multimedia journalist for the Detroit Lions. Previously, Petry hosted a community lifestyle TV show called "My Ocala TV" in Ocala, Florida, and was a motorsports correspondent at NBC's Florida Sports Talk Radio. "As the very first "Multimedia Journalist" for DetroitLions.com, I'll act as a host and sideline reporter of sorts as well as film, edit and interview for video stories as a feature reporter," Petry writes on her own website.
• Kelly Whiteside is leaving USA Today after 14 years to teach sports journalism at Montclair (New Jersey) State University, which is starting a journalism major for its students in September. Kelly covered the Olympics, the World Cup and college athletics at USA Today, and will be a two-block walk from her house when she begins her new job.
• Gina Carlson started working with Major League Baseball as a real-time correspondent at Minnesota's Target Field. She'll cover the Twins for the remainder of the 2014 season. Also, Carlson is working at Minnesota Public Radio in the traffic division. "I was offered the position [with MLB] exactly one month to the day of when I walked for my graduations from St. Cloud State University," said Carlson, who graduated Magna Cum Laude in June. The St. Cloud State alumni board featured Carlson in its alumni magazine.
• Jodie Valade, a sports features writer and backup Cavaliers reporter at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, will marry Nate Ryan on Aug. 23 — only 19 years after their first date. Valade and Ryan, the motorsports writer at USA Today Sports, first met and began dating in 1995 when they attended Northwestern University. Broken hearts came in 1997, followed by 16 years without talking, before the two reconnected in 2013. The two will be married at Hale Farm and Village, just outside Cleveland, after their whirlwind romance that was almost two decades in the making.
• Ashley Bailey recently left Davidson College to take a job as an assistant director of athletic communications at West Virginia University. Bailey is currently handling wrestling and volleyball, and will add men's golf when the program resumes competition in 2015. A native of South Dartmouth, Mass., Bailey received a Bachelor's degree in Journalism/Public Relations from Ohio University in 2008 and completed her Master's of Business Administration at Saint Francis in 2010. "One of my career goals was to work for a major conference, so it is definitely an exciting opportunity and I'm lucky enough to be reunited with friends I met in graduate school. It's been very exciting so far — three days on the job and my assistant wrestling coach (who is coached by our head coach) made the World Championship team, so I've been thrown right in!"
• Kelli Grashel worked briefly at ASA/USA Softball as a 2014 AWSM intern, and then was offered a position at the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department as an Athletic Communications Assistant. Grashel graduated from Oklahoma State in May with a degree in Sports Media Strategic Communications and option in multimedia journalism. In her new position, Grashel will be working primarily with wrestling, softball, women's basketball, volleyball and helping with football.

Environmental Law
SINCE THE LATE 1960′s, businesses, industries and public agencies in Nevada and across America became legally obligated to take a closer look at the impact of their activities on the ecosystem. In 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency was created and far-reaching environmental statutes were passed, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
ROBERTSON, JOHNSON, MILLER & WILLIAMSON'S ENVIRONMENTAL LAW practice combines a comprehensive understanding of the applicable federal and state law with a thorough technical and scientific knowledge of particular environmental problems. Our attorneys regularly represent clients with major regulatory compliance needs including homeowners, landowners, businesses, and developers on issues ranging from toxic torts (interior mold, asbestos, or soil or groundwater contamination) to complex litigation concerning cleanup liability. We have been involved in multibillion dollar transactions and successfully litigated significant cases before agencies and courts on complex regulatory issues.
OUR PROFESSIONAL APPROACH to state and federal environmental litigation allows us to offer effective representation to plaintiffs and defendants alike in environmental cases. Our team of knowledgeable lawyers and paralegals provide the firm's clients with comprehensive services under all federal, state and local pollution control laws, including laws addressing water and air pollution, solid and hazardous waste and pesticides. Our litigation attorneys represent clients in federal and state courts and in administrative proceedings before federal and state regulatory agencies.
AS SEASONED PRACTITIONERS, our attorneys are often asked to solve the largest and most intricate compliance and regulatory problems. We frequently defend clients in litigation matters through trial or on appeal. Our legal training brings a unique set of skills to the understanding of regulatory laws. We know the rules judges use to interpret ambiguous language. Even when a regulatory requirement may be plain, it may not be valid. We have the tools to challenge the validity of environmental requirements and to negotiate reasonable resolutions with regulators. We understand the roles and the legitimate interests of the many different agencies who become involved in environmental regulation, and can help to create a solution that satisfies all of them.

Red Cassette – February '11
Mid-February may have crept upon us far too quickly but there are still tons of fantastic bands to go and see this month around the venues of Oxford.
Surely one of the most exciting returns to the city has to be The Streets who are touring Mike Skinner's new album, Computers and Blues, his supposed last under the alias. This final work is an apparent excellent return to form and with support in the from the fast-rising, Blur-bothering, Brother, this promises to be a highlight of the year, not just this month.
Other highlights are sure to include Wolf People, who bring their psychadelic offerings to the Jericho Tavern on the 18th, and Ray LaMontagne who hits the New Theatre with his pop-centered americana on the 25th.
And of course, there is the usual fantastic selection of local talent to be heard with the likes of Spring Offensive, Gunning For Tamar and The Gullivers keeping up their gigging presence.
For our pick of this month's live acts grab your Spotify playlist now: Red Cassete – Febuary '11

Dinner in our house tends to be a bit of a roller coaster. We go all in, risotto or beer cheese fondue straight to the face. Then we immediately need to balance it out with something lighter, which is how this Roasted Sweet Potato and Chickpea Salad was conceived.
This salad is all of the things. It's colorful, fresh, warm, cold, sweet, tangy. Roasted chickpeas even add a little crunch. I won't call it a "party in your mouth" but I do believe it meets all of the requirements.
I was definitely impressed with how full this salad left me. We used this recipe to make two larger "entree sized" salads, and I was fully expecting to pull out some leftover risotto upon finishing, but no need! This can definitely serve as a light dinner for two, or as a way to kick off a killer winter meal (maybe some risotto? just saying…) for four. I served this while the potatoes and chickpeas were still a little warm, but you could definitely do it further in advance and just serve at room temperature.
I left my potato and pear unpeeled because it's more "rustic" that way. Have you heard? Rustic is a new way of making laziness look chic. If this is a problem for you, peel your potato. Everyone wins.
Serves 2-4
For the Salad:
1 medium sweet potato
1 pear
1 15-oz can chickpeas
1 tbsp. fresh thyme
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. salt
4 large handfuls mixed greens
2-4 tbsp. dried cranberries
For the Dressing:
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp. dijon
1 tbsp. minced shallot
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cube the sweet potato and pear into 1-inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add to the same bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and fresh thyme. Stir to coat the vegetables and fruit in the oil and seasonings. Spread the mixture out on a sheet pan in a single layer.
Bake for 45 minutes, checking occasionally after 30 minutes to make sure nothing burns. Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the mixture cool slightly.
While the mixture cools, make the dressing: whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, and minced shallot until fully combined. Add the greens to a large mixing bowl and toss with the dressing – about 1-2 tbsp of dressing per handful of greens.
Plate the greens and sprinkle each plate with 1-2 tbsp. dried cranberries. Top with about a cup of the sweet potato and chickpea mixture. Serve immediately with extra dressing on the side.

See my other two Verdant green oolong notes; it's comparison time! This post is for the second 2012 spring harvest. I'm brewing them each up identically, using 1.5 tsp of leaf in 125mL water, with the leaves allowed to roam free in the cup before being strained out.
First infusion (208F/30s):
Also similar to the autumn harvest with a buttery, green, and floral flavour/aroma. Perhaps the "greenest" of the three.
Second infusion (208F/30s):
This time this harvest falls between the autumn and spring first picking in terms of flavour. It actually is probably my favourite of the three. I'm getting a bit of a citrusy aftertaste in this one… kind of orangey/lemony. Can't blame that on food, since I've had nothing of the sort in the past few hours, and didn't taste this with the other two. Oh – that's a lie. I'm getting it with the first spring harvest two, whereas the aftertaste is more of a sweet caramel with the autumn harvest.

The Atlanta Hawks have made small additions to their roster this offseason. The signings of shooting-guard Kent Bazemore and established veteran Thabo Sefolosha will bolster an already solid depth chart that finished in the top 10 in the league this past year in points per game.
Shelvin Mack will fill the primary backup role behind starter Jeff Teague. Mack provides consistent play in distributing to perimeter shooters and can drop down the three-ball as well. Mack's threat of driving through the lane or shooting away from behind the arc makes him a complementary backup to Teague's similar style of play. Expect to see Dennis Schroder get ample minutes here also, but Schroder has a lot of maturing left to do before he can overtake Mack in the rotation.
Bazemore is not a signing that is going to get Atlanta fans excited, but it should be. The depth behind sharpshooter Kyle Korver in 2013-14 was sorely vapid. Bazemore is a very promising young talent who ended the last two months of the season averaging over 20 PPG for the Los Angeles Lakers. I think this was a great move for the Hawks. Coach Mike Budenholzer has established a fantastic system in Atlanta where Bazemore will flourish. The culture of sharing the ball and team first mentality will lend well in his development.
Sefolosha will be manning the backup for the third spot behind DeMarre Carroll on the roster. Sefolosha is the most underrated pickup of the offseason. His addition propels the Hawks even further up the chart as contenders in the East, for Atlanta's biggest stickler this past season was a lack of defensive stops. Sefolosha is a great shooter from behind the arc which Budenholzer loves, but his defensive capabilities make him a versatile option for the rotations necessary to support the stellar offensive production already established.
Adrian Payne's first-round pick by Atlanta was praised by pundits across the media. He will complement the skill set of starter Paul Millsap very well, for he can be a stretch four threat as well. He may not have the ball handling fluidity that Millsap possesses, but he has the capability and upside to develop into that type of player under the Budenholzer system.
Pero Antic had some bright moments this past season for the Hawks, but he also had some extreme lows. He basically ended Atlanta's playoff run in Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs against the Indiana Pacers by playing atrociously. He was a rookie in the league even though he's over 30 years old, so he gets some slack. Hopefully he will be more comfortable and settled in this upcoming year. He and Mike Muscala will split time behind All-star center Al Horford. Muscala has shown much improvement in the 2014 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. I expect him to overtake Antic as the primary backup by mid-season.
The Hawks have built up a solid team that will be a contender for the Eastern Conference championship in 2015. Their moves this offseason may not have been for big name players like LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, but they are establishing a system under coach Budenholzer that is very similar to the San Antonio Spurs where he worked for many years. The Miami Heat's big three proved that you cannot win an NBA Championship without a sufficient depth chart. Atlanta is one of the most well-rounded teams in the league, so expect them to be very competitive in the fall.
