Administer Node: Restricting user's node editing ability while allowing "Publishing Options" access

I have created a user/role where I want them to be able to set the option to adjust settings under "Publishing Options" like "Publish" and "Promote to front page" etc. But I don't want to allow them to edit nodes created by OTHER users--but I want them to be able to create their own pages and edit them.

My problem is that checking "administer nodes" under "node module" in the administer > access control I give them the ability to edit content; but if this is NOT checked they cannot select options from the "Publishing Options" menu.

Acidfree albums not there

I have created several albums and added a few images. Everytime I go to www.url.com/acidfree to view the albums it redirects to www.url.com/node . This has had me stumped for weeks.

Using Acidfree 4.7

any suggestions would help.
Thanks.

Problems with scheduler?

The scheduler module seems to be misbehaving, at least by my reading of the situation. Here's what's happening:

I have a node that I want to schedule to go live at say, 19:00 hours local time today. After having installed and configured the scheduler module, I go into the already-created node and set its scheduling options: "Publish on" gets "2006-08-09 19:00:00", and the time zone pulldown is set at "Wednesday, Aug 9, 2006 - 18:24 -0700". (I'm in California, so that seems right.) I submit the page and check the scheduler table in the database. The node is there, with a publish_on value of 1155150000 and a timezone value of -25200, which seems to add up to 19:00 local. So far, so good, I think.

Now, I run cron.php by hand to invoke scheduler_cron. I've put a print statement into scheduler_cron, which tells me that the value of time() that the database query is using to find nodes in need of publishing is 1155173159. This is greater than the publish_on time of the node -- that's the test that's being done in scheduler_cron -- and so the node gets published, sooner than it should. Note that 1155173159 translates into "Wed Aug 09 2006 17:24:49 GMT-0700".

The other problem is that the "changed" value of the node is changed to 1155150000, which seems to be missing timezone adjustment.

I'm rather turned around by all this. If I'm doing something stupid, I'll be grateful if someone will tell me so, but I really don't see it.

Gallery Module

I have Gallery and the Gallery module installed and running, but I was wondering how I can get the Gallery Module and Gallery to interact tos that registered Drupal users are both Gallery users and so that they ahve their own album.

Thanks,

How can my stories have thumbnails?

I want to find a way so that I can have a teaser list of my stories, easy enough, but I also want the user to be able to attach an image to a story and have that used to show a thumbnail next to the teaser, can this be done?

How can you change the number of reads a node has?

I have some articles that were read but were previously within another CMS and after the fact imported into Drupal. They're some of our most popular ever and a couple qualify for the most-read block but they won't show up since they are no longer being read much.

How can I edit the number of reads a post has so that I can put them into the "most-read" stories?
