EU-Japan trade agreement is an unfinished house – European Parliament is being barred from further negotiations
The economic and financial policy spokesperson for the Greens / EFA Group in the European Parliament, Sven Giegold, comments on the political agreement between the EU and Japan on a free trade agreement (JEFTA):
"The agreement presented is only a half-finished house. Controversial building blocks such as investment protection and regulatory cooperation are only negotiated later. The reduction of tariffs and the elimination of market access obstacles are positive achievements of the agreement. Nevertheless JEFTA was concluded so hastily to serve as a welcome gift for Trump in Europe. It is highly problematic that sensitive issues such as investment protection and the access of Japanese stakeholders to European legislation are now decided in intransparent 'technical negotiations'. The European Parliament has no access to the documents in these technical proceedings. This means that after the exclusion of the general public, now Members of Parliament, too, are being expelled from the negotiations. The rest of the agreement is being negotiated by technocrats in the darkroom. The EU Commission cares about the transparency of the negotiations with Japan even less than during CETA or TTIP talks. The promises of transparency by the EU Commission are a great bluff if main points are dealt with in the backroom.
The agreement is misplaced as a signal against protectionism. On the contrary, the EU-Japan Free Trade Agreement got off as a false start for the G20 summit. The agreement has the same social and environmental flaws as previous free trade agreements. It is not an act of liberation for free trade, but a shot into its own feet. The lack of binding social and ecological rules has just been reiterated which has put free trade as a whole into disrespect. While it is the right response to Trump, when Europe takes the opportunity to redesign global trade policy, the deal with Japan is a missed opportunity. The trade treaty is particularly dangerous for the climate: the agreement with Japan does not correspond to the Paris Climate Agreement, since the new trade relations cause no less but higher CO2 emissions."
Sven Giegold will speak today during a workshop on global financial capitalism on 6 July at the G20 Summit on Global Solidarity: http://solidarity-summit.org/event/ws-50-finanzmarktkapitalismus-regulieren-oder-ueberwinden/

New dots on the security horizon

Results from the Clingendael Expert Survey
Europe is being challenged. Territorial integrity is no longer a given, the ring of instability remains fragile and exports a number of problems ranging from terrorism to migration. The public appears to be largely dissatisfed with the existing political order. Transatlantic relations are in a state of flux and questions are increasingly being asked as to whether Europe should play the game of nations. Many of today's issues have caught policy-makers by surprise (e.g. think about the annexation of Crimea, Brexit and Trump's election) and policy-makers would have liked to foresee these in advance.
The annual Clingendael Expert Survey does just that: it is a modest attempt to identify and prioritise some of tomorrow's key security problems. It scans, validates and prioritises novel threats that are not yet part of our common understanding. These may include completely new problems (such as a funding gap in the IAEA) but also known developments that are not sufficiently recognised. From the Clingendael Radar – a horizon scan for new threats – we were able to compile a shortlist of key aspects. The survey subsequently validated and prioritised this input.

Müslüm Yelken (* 28. November 1988 in Develi) ist ein deutsch-türkischer Fußballspieler.

Karriere
Müslüm Yelken kam in der Kreisstadt Develi in der Provinz Kayseri zur Welt. Bereits im Kindesalter zog er mit seiner Familie nach Deutschland. So wuchs er im baden-württembergischen Balgheim auf und erlernte in den Jugendabteilungen diverser Amateurklubs das Fußballspielen.
In der B-Jugend wechselte er zum FC 08 Villingen und rückte dort zur Saison 2007/08 in den Oberligakader auf; hier machte er zwölf Ligapartien.

Zu dieser Zeit wurde er von einigen Talentjägern beobachtet. Zur neuen Saison lag ein Angebot vom türkischen Zweitligisten Orduspor vor und so wechselte er in die Türkei. Bei Orduspor schaffte er auf Anhieb den Durchbruch zum Stammspieler. 2010/11 gelang ihm mit seiner Mannschaft der Aufstieg in die Süper Lig. In seiner ersten Süper-Lig-Saison verlor er seinen Stammplatz, kam aber als Einwechselspieler auf sechs Ligapartien.

Nach fünf Jahren verließ Yelken Orduspor und wechselte innerhalb der TFF 1. Lig zu Ankaraspor. Ende April 2014 löste er seinen Vertrag nach einer langwierigen Verletzung auf und verließ die Hauptstädter. Yelken kehrte nach Deutschland zurück und es folgten anderthalb Jahre mit zwei Operationen und Reha. Im Dezember 2015 gab sein ehemaliger Verein, FC 08 Villingen, seine Verpflichtung zur Rückrunde bekannt.

These individuals had sewn disloyalty across the galaxy, in almost every empire we had encountered. All signs pointed to them, and with our navy stopping the spread of their vile influence, our leadership role in the galaxy would be assured.
Though intelligence was scarce, our admirals knew our fleet was roughly equivalent in might to the defensive structures erected to protect the hostiles. Time was against us, for the eyes of all empires were watching – would we stand up to this insidious threat, or would we bide time, giving all appearance that others would perform the opening salvos for us?
With a new breed of carrier-class warships leading the charge, admiral Rhizome of Brown, the celebrated leader of our defensive fleet, began the long journey toward the remote battlefield. Skirting around the immense pull of Faranis, our fleet took long days in preparation for the battle to come.
As the FTL drives wound down, our fleet found itself opposed by no less than forty enemy ships and a truly powerful defensive platform – home of the enemy leadership our troops had flown so far to find. The skies erupted with missiles, lasers, and artillery fire, and in the chaos of battle few back home could discern exactly what was happening.
When communications quieted, shrapnel filling the large system, one voice rang out from the darkness – Rhizome of Brown, announcing the utter annihilation of the enemy fleet. Cheers erupted from our soldiers' homeworlds, even as they mourned the loss of so many whose sacrifice was pivotal in turning the tide of battle.
A cautious and soft-spoken admiral, Rhizome rarely spoke of what happened during those terrifying days, but in military academies across the empire copies of officer reflections and battle tactics were soon found, both praising the strategic and tactical genius of our commanders and also the final eradication of the truly despicable threat to our peace and good order.

Also within the NuLu area, Feast BBQ is a must stop for locals and tourists for a taste of your favorite comfort food dishes. Don't be turned off if you see a long line forming outside as you arrive. Guests must order first before taking a seat on a first-come first-serve basis. My favorites for Feast BBQ were fried pickles and fried Mac & Cheese ball for appetizers. We couldn't resist ordering a full rack BBQ ribs and some mexican style tacos for the main dish. Both great in taste and flavor, however, for an extra kick each table has three extra BBQ sauces to pick from.
No stop is completed at Feast BBQ with bourbon slushies that come in 8 or 16 oz. glasses, but if you like to supersize it, order a pitcher!
The Garage Bar might be one of my favorite places to go to while visiting the trendy NuLu (New Louisville) area. Originally an old auto service garage, this place does not disappoint for a night out around town. It is a magnet for the town's hippest people, looking for casual night in a relaxed atmosphere. Outside, try your skills at one of the ping pong tables or just hang out in one of the many communal tables with friends.
The menu has just enough comfort food to keep you going for hours—offering everything from brick oven pizza with a selection of many local ingredients like homemade pepperoni to small plates of local cheese. Also enjoy an eclectic list of craft beers, along with thirty different bourbon, rye whiskeys and the seasonally changing cocktail list.
Annie Harlow and Leslie Wilson began this venture in 2013, and saved enough money to open their own food truck in 2014. The success of their food truck led them to their current storefront at 1011 E Main St—and one of our favorite stops while in Louisville. While visiting Hi-five, you can pick the doughnut du jour or make your own with several glazes and toppings that people can use to build their doughnut, which means that no two doughnuts are ever alike.
We caught up with Leslie Wilson when we visited them to find out her favorite places to hang out in Louisville and more!
Royals Hot Chicken serves the Louisville community hot and spicy southern fried chicken. Every guest can order their chicken as spicy as they would like, whether it's classic fried with no heat or the spiciest available at gonzo. A plate of chicken tenders is served with one sauce to calm the heat level and people can choose from Kentucky honey mustard, Alabama white BBQ, Mississippi comeback, feast BBQ, green goodness, hot pepper jelly, and royals ranch.
A perfect lunch or dinner at Royals would include a wedge salad with warm bacon dressing, a plate of two chicken tenders with medium heat and Kentucky honey mustard, a side of shells and beer cheese, and fried apple pie for dessert.
Don't leave without trying their vanilla or chocolate shakes with a added bourbon shooter.

Increase General Fund Giving 20-60% in Just Five Weeks!
In addition to church capital campaign consulting, we also offer annual stewardship coaching either as part of a comprehensive stewardship solution or as a stand-alone engagement. While a capital campaign will encourage people to give above and beyond their tithes and offerings for the campaign period, an effective annual stewardship series will change people for life!
The 5-week Dynamic Giving System™ has helped over a thousand churches in more than 25 countries increase giving by 15 to 160 percent.
In the United States, churches typically see increases in tithes and offerings of 20-60% on an annualized basis, all from a single 5-week stewardship program!
Imagine What Even a Modest 25% Increase in Tithes and Offerings Could Mean to Your Ministry!
While you are almost certainly going to experience an increase of 20% or more, our Annual Stewardship Program has been proven to provide annualized increases to general fund giving of over 50%. The author of this program increased giving in his church 105% in 3-years using this biblical teaching approach!
All this benefit from just one small coaching investment.
They Don't Teach This in Seminary!
Biblically encouraging congregants to give is perhaps the most under-taught pastoral skill of our generation. As a result, many pastors today are afraid and/or unequipped to encourage their congregation in this spiritual discipline, to the detriment of both the givers and the ministry. We Can Help!
We guide the pastor and staff in implementing the ten-step Dynamic Giving System™, a biblical and proven general fund stewardship program that can (and probably should) be used annually thereafter. Once you have received the materials and coaching, there is nothing to keep you from doing the same year after year.
Contact us to learn more about how your church can develop more cheerful givers or to schedule a complimentary pastor to pastor consultation with Dr. Rod Rogers, author of the program and pastor with over 25 years experience.

If at the very least to hear about the challenge, listen to success stories and get good recipes that are full of nutrients, protein, good fat and good carbohydrates to fuel your body for grueling wods.
This smoothie has made it into my weekly recipe schedule and it will continue to do so until I'm sick of it. It's pretty awesome.
Blend. Yum. This one my fave.
I'm sorry for being so absent lately!!!
Here's a great recipe for dinner and lunch leftovers. If you're like us you need more than artichokes to fill you up, so we subbed in broccoli instead. Be creative!
The next time I make this I will make the broccoli separate unless you really like lemon flavor. I do but it was too much for the family.
1. Juice 2 of the lemons, thinly slice the third lemon into rounds or half moons.
2. In a large stainless-steel or enameled cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt 2 TBSP of ghee or coconut oil and then add the shallots and saute them until translucent , about 3-5 min. Add the artichoke hearts, capers and lemon juice and stir to combine. Move the veggies to the edges of the skillet and melt the remaining 2 TBSP of ghee in the center of the skillet.
3. Season both sides of the chicken breast liberally with salt and pepper and place them in the center of the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until it becomes white around the edges, then flip it to continue cooking the other side.
4. Reduce the heat to medium low, move the veggies over the top of chicken and place remaining lemon slices in the pan, continue to cook the chicken until it's white all the way through and reaches 165 degrees.
I've been stocking up on pictures for upcoming food posts, so stay tuned! Also, if you love a good challenge, we're gearing up for the LuRong Living Paleo Challenge.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the people of Jersey are taking their own approach to managing the natural resources that make the island unique in fighting climate change. One of the people at the forefront of moving Jersey toward a more sustainable future is Glyn Mitchell, a carbon farmer with the Carbon Farm Project.

At the II Brazilian "Rochagem" Conference, which took place in Poco de Caldas, Minas Gerais, in May 2013, Professor Peter van Straaten gave a series of talks on the use of rock dust to increase soil health for agriculture. As a pioneer in the practice of using rocks for soil remineralization, van Straaten shared his extensive knowledge with a broad spectrum of scientists and researchers who attended the conference. An expert in agrogeology, which Van Straaten defines as "geology in service of agriculture," he has built an international network of projects that study remineralization and sustainable agriculture in Africa. His work has helped ...

Nevis Bath House and Stream to get face lift
November 1, 2011 in NIA
Bath Pool
Charlestown,Nevis–(Monday, October 31st, 2011) Nevis is forging ahead in the development of its Tourism assets, despite the challenging global economy. The most recent venture has been the undertaking of major rehabilitation work to the famed Bath House and Hot Springs on the grounds of the Bath Hotel.
The Bath House which holds five baths of varying temperatures was closed due to damage suffered during the passage of Hurricane Louis in 1995. Other areas where patrons bathe has been affected, as the stream contains a very low volume of water.
According to Mr. Carl Williams, Assistant Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism, the small volume of water has been due to the fact that parts of the stream seem "stifled" because of the amount of silt and rock deposits on its bed which has been causing the water to barely trickle from its underground source.
He said some phases of the project had already been completed and on full completion, the building would not only host working baths but also it would be utilized as a reception area, where the general history of the Bath Hotel and its environs could be accessed. A souvenir shop for local craft items will also be housed there.
Mr. Williams explained that the project would enhance a resource in Nevis that has much potential.
"The agenda of this project is to preserve and develop a resource which can be used to further enhance the economical and social development of the island," he said.

Conspiracies of Rome
Written by Richard Blake
Review by S Garside-Neville
608 AD. Young Englishman Aelric is interpreter and secretary to Maximin, a priest, who is part of the Roman mission to convert England to Christianity. But more texts are needed, and the pair travel to Rome to seek out suitable books. Aelric is amazed to find that the Romans don't appreciate their glorious literature, but he wants to ensure that England is made the intellectual heart of the West. The ambitious plans go awry as murder and violence dog his footsteps. Are scheming politicians and diplomats hindering rather than helping? Is the church being honest? Who is ultimately responsible for the murder?
This is the first in a trilogy. Written in the first person, this book has a strong voice. Aelric is well drawn, and he comes across as quite a vain and greedy person, but someone who ultimately has a sense of fairness. Seventh-century Rome is a unusual subject for a novel. A great sense of decline and decay comes across. Rome is definitely past her best, and the Church and various factions are jostling for control. Sometimes the digression on religious points can get a bit wearing. However, it's an enjoyable read, and I will certainly seek out the second part of the trilogy.

The imposing former mansion house at No. 75 dominates this stretch of High Street, which rises gently to the central crossroads. There are, however, some other striking buildings among this run of smallish cottages and shops, most notably the long 16th-century frontage of No. 33, the tall three-storeyed front of Nos. 53-9, and the long Georgian façade of No. 91. Medieval houses survive behind several late façades, and a 14th-century archway (possibly reset) at No. 69. The Burford House Hotel (No. 99) is one of several long buildings remodelled in a 'Cotswold Vernacular' style in the 1920s, which together lend Burford part of its distinctive character.
The double-gabled smooth stone frontage of c.1903 conceals remains of another medieval house.

When rhetoric goes too far
A GOP alternative, or what the GOP should have been all along
Neal B. Freeman:
On April 15, 1943, tens of millions of Americans sat down at a broad mahogany desk or, many more of them, at a rickety kitchen table, and wrote out checks to the federal government. Most of those Americans wrote checks in the four or five figures, a few of the wealthiest in the six figures.
That day was a bonding moment for a chesty, prosperous nation, a moment when citizens from all stations came together and divvied up the bill for public services. It was also a republicanizing civic experience. Every taxpaying American, from the lawn guy to the industrial mogul, found the same two questions at the tip of his tongue. The first was, "Wow! How did my tax bill get so high?" And the second was, "Wow! What did I get for all of that money?" Both of those questions were potent, small-r republican questions. April 15, even more than religious holidays or the Fourth of July, had become the most conservative day of the calendar year.
That would never happen again, of course. The statists of all parties, as Hayek might have put it, made sure that it wouldn't. Soft statists from the stupid party and hard statists from the evil party conjured up a swift, sure, bipartisan solution to a problem that no citizen had to that point detected. For all subsequent years, the tax bill for every American would be sliced into 52 bite-sized pieces, after which employers would be coerced into stripping tax revenues off the top before cutting an employee's weekly paycheck. Never again would an American citizen feel the sandpaper scrape of hard-earned tax dollars passing through his fingers. Never again would an American taxpayer add his voice to the deafening chorus demanding answers to those two questions. The stealth phrase "take-home pay" would soon infiltrate the language and, as between the citizen and his government, it was now manifestly clear who would get paid first.
In the Museum of Modern Statism, which will one day break ground on the Washington Mall, an alcove should be reserved for the man or woman, or quite possibly, the committee that came up with this ingenious scheme to separate more Americans from more tax dollars with less resistance. (For the alcove, my mind's eye suggests a bust of a man bearing close resemblance to Andrew McCabe. Just a thought.)
Another political development of like consequence rolled out over several decades, beginning with First Lady Hillary Clinton and consolidating under President Barack Obama.
For reasons now forgotten, I spent a few years helping to build a political organization in Nassau County, a big, fast-growing suburb of New York City. We were pretty good at it. With Nassau running up huge GOP majorities, New York State was led for a time by a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, and two U.S. senators, all of whom were elected Republicans. (Our county committee proudly passed around a story describing ours as a "political machine led by one Jew, two WASPs, and ten thousand Italians." For us political machinists, this story fell into the category of "too good to correct.")
Our secret sauce was to recruit for leadership in every town, of which there were dozens sprawled across the vast county, a prominent family physician. "Prominent" because he saw lots of patients, all of whom had invested in him both financially and psychologically. "Family" because as a general practitioner he would come to know not only mom and dad but the kids, too. "Physician" because he was one of the most trusted men in town, the only man in a prim suburb whom neighbors would allow to poke and prod their naked bodies.
More salient than these surface attributes, the town doctor was a fiercely independent businessman. He did responsibility-accepting, BS-rejecting, profit-seeking, result-based work. He didn't know it yet, but he was a born Republican leader.
Soon thereafter, predictably, he became a target. Mrs. Clinton, in her role as the overperforming spouse of an elected official, tried to run town doctors out of business. Health care for all, as she proposed to contrive it, meant private practice for none. Despite her tireless efforts, or perhaps in some measure because of them, Mrs. Clinton managed to scare the bejesus out of the American people and her campaign to nationalize health care came up short. But all, alas, was not lost. After unleashing the shock troops of Left activism — the tort lawyers — Mrs. Clinton secured a significant political victory: She softened up the doctors. Her tort lawyers distracted them with malpractice suits, squeezed them with rising insurance premiums, and intimidated them with reputational attacks. Staunchly Republican doctors began to appreciate the subtle charms of bipartisan solutions.
Barack Obama finished the job. After disarming the pharmaceutical companies, he demobilized the doctors. Obama, again, failed to deliver on his stated goals of universal health care at basement prices, but, again, he achieved substantial political gains. Consult your own experience. If it coincides with mine, your primary-care physicians, one after the other, went to work for a hospital, folded into a multi-practice consortium, or hired themselves out to some large health-care bureaucracy: The compliance python had crushed the prominent family physician. These doctors were soon converted from independent businessmen into nonprofit executives. Over time, and in thousands of towns across the country, the most trusted man in the Freedom Party became a stalwart of the administrative state.
Now to COVID-19, yet another crisis that Left activists are determined not to waste. This past year has been a radicalizing civic experience. Families have splintered, breaking down along generational lines. Church attendance has plummeted. Voluntary organizations have withered. In many communities, private services for the young and the old, the weak and the halt, have simply vanished.
Beyond these incalculable social costs — costs borne disproportionately by the Freedom Party — there have been huge and ominous financial costs. The decline of the dollar in international markets tells us that we have spent too much; that some smart people think we will be unable to pay our bills; and that — here's the ominous part — it's time to consider swapping out the dollar for the renminbi as the world's reserve currency. That would be the tipping point of all tipping points. (The radical wing of the Democratic Party, the loud wing, has been silent in this matter. They profess to believe that some redundantly modernized monetary theory will float the boat.)
Beyond these widely distributed costs of the pandemic, consider the targeted measures implemented by blue-state Democrats and complicit Republicans. Have the authoritarians imposed harsh lockdown measures on tech executives, teachers unions, debtors, rioters, media organizations, government bureaucrats, Hollywood producers, academic types, talking heads, tort lawyers, and tax-advantaged activists? No? Well, have they imposed harsh measures on merchants, savers, working couples, amateur athletes, salesmen, churchgoing Christians, synagoguegoing Jews, police officers, parents, students, clergy, and senior technophobes? They have?
Indeed, so. The groups hit hardest by the lockdowns happen to be the constituent elements of the Freedom Party and, to those of you who choose to see this division as the work of coincidence, we say that you are sweet souls and you have our concern.
Take the egregious case of restaurants. Immigrants who come to America for the right reasons open restaurants for good reasons: (1) they can leverage their intellectual property (Mom's recipes); (2) the kids will never go hungry; (3) it is still in some measure a cash business; and (4) they can launch and grow their business with a loyal, hardworking, and underpaid staff — the kids and their cousins. Immigrant restaurants have been for more than a century a first-class ticket to the American dream.
Here in Florida where I live, we are blessed not only with the legacy restaurants — French, Italian, Chinese, and Mexican — but with more recent arrivals, including Cuban, Haitian, Puerto Rican, Nicaraguan, and most recently of all, Venezuelan. These restaurants are run by independent businesspeople, who ripen over time into prime prospects for the Freedom Party. (The Puerto Ricans present a special case. Since the turn of the century, a million Puerto Ricans have settled in the Orlando area. That's more than New York, more than San Juan. It's been a veritable diaspora from an island with three million people. To overstate but accost the central point: The early arrivals came for opportunity and started their own businesses. The later arrivals, after Hurricane Maria, came for social services and became welfare clients. To read the national press, you would think that "Hispanics" are a fungible lot.) The Associated Press reports that, across the country, 110,000 restaurants have closed during the pandemic. That's an astounding number, a tragic number. Not one of those families came to America aspiring to become government dependents.
I recount these episodes to drive home the obvious point. It is not only in war — when the patriotic citizen cedes ground carelessly to the national-security state — that individual freedoms shrink and shrivel. It is not only in bursts of ideological exuberance — the New Deal, the Great Society, the Biden Infrastructure-Boondoggle-To-Be-Named-Later — that the state advances. As every American knows in his hips, to borrow Willmoore Kendall's timeless phrase, the state never sleeps. Sometimes slowly, sometimes with gathering speed, sometimes on cat's paws, sometimes with the banging of rhetorical pots and pans, the state advances. The era of big government is never over.
Which makes it surprising, and troubling, to hear the conversation rising in Zoom confabs, and extended in political journals, to the effect that conservative writers, even "conservative leaders," have lost patience with libertarians. The contention is that our cause has been damaged or even contaminated by libertarian excess, as if libertarians were a problematic faction in need of ideological cleansing. I'm not clear as to precisely what "cause" is referenced here, but some of this talk is surely disingenuous: It is no more than strawman-swatting to conflate healthy libertarian impulses with the handful of capital-L voters who march to the polls with perverse intention to tip close elections from the slightly less statist candidate to the slightly more statist candidate. To the extent that the current talk is substantive, however, and seeks to drive libertarians from our coalition, it is both amnesiac and misguided.
I have spoken here of the Freedom Party, by which I mean to denote that once dominant, now receding community of Americans who cherish individual liberty: those Americans who have been willing to defend the tiny but sacred space within which we are permitted to exercise our God-given rights as promised by the Declaration and secured by the Constitution; those Americans whose philosophical yearnings have been fire-started by the clarity of Locke, the passion of Jefferson, the poeticism of Oakeshott.
Freedom-loving Americans. We share a long and honorable tradition. At the very birth of our nation, the 56 brave men who pledged their lives and their fortunes — assuming, correctly, that many of them would lose both — did not take on mortal risk in the cause of a levelling statism, or some form of socially engineered equality. They took on the certain perils, and hoped for the uncertain rewards, of a robustly free society pursued in the cause of individual liberty.
As of course did the founders of the conservative movement. Russell Kirk may have begun with his quirky individualism, William Buckley with his Nockian anti-statism, and Frank Meyer with his hard-shell ex-communism, but they all took it as a given that conservatives would begin by layering their own fusionist priorities atop a foundational commitment to personal freedom.
The hour is late, but we are still the Freedom Party.

The School Addition Historic District encompasses a middle-class residential area of Batesville, Arkansas that typifies its growth between about 1850 and 1950.  It is located between Main Street and Poke Bayou, along two blocks each of Rock and Water Streets (offset to give the district the shape of a parallelogram), and the intervening blocks of 7th and 8th Streets.  Houses in this area are generally of a modest scale, built for tradesmen and craftsmen.  They come in a variety of styles, including the traditional I-house, American Craftsman-style bungalows, and ranches.  The district was platted out in 1849 and sold off by the town to raise funds for public education.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.  It includes two previously-listed properties: the Glenn House, and the Wycough–Jones House.

9S-EMO* loves adventure! Soaring high over the vast Congolese jungles gives her a thrill like nothing else. This strong, silent type loves the people western Congo. She enjoys bringing people together and saving lives—which is a good thing since the needs are great in western Democratic Republic of the Congo. 9S-EMO is also passionate about helping those who can't help themselves, like the Congolese lepers who have been cast out by society. This rugged plane has a soft-side when it comes to sharing Christ's love in this expansive region.
Lush jungles—teaming with wildlife and adventure!

In Coppermine, uploaded files go into albums. Albums can contain files, but not sub-albums. Albums can go into categories. Categories can contain sub-categories and albums, but they can not contain files.
In Coppermine, permissions go by album: you can assign permission for your users to upload to particular albums and disallow uploads for other albums. You can explicitely allow or deny comments or rating permissions per album.
The Album Manager
Coppermine stores files inside of albums, so you'll need at least one album for your pictures/files to be placed in. Albums can be stored in categories (but they don't HAVE to be in a category, they can just as well go into the coppermine "root").
When you click on "albums" in the admin menu, you will see the Album Manager.
Creating albums
Choose a category from the dropdown list "Select category" and highlight the selection where you would like your album to reside in. (or choose "* No category *" if the album should go into the coppermine "root"). If you haven't created a category yet, go to the categories control panel first. Or, you can proceed with these steps to first create an album and move the album into a category later. You can also perform this moving task by using the album properties page.
To create an album, click on the "New" button - a new album will appear on the list, by default this album is labelled "New album"
Click on the text input field at the bottom of the screen, highlight the default name "New album"
Then type in the album name you want to use
(repeat steps 2 through 4 to add additional albums)
Click "Apply modifications" to submit your changes to the database. failure to do so will result in the loss of all the changes you just made. You can always return to this panel to edit and change album names, sort them within their parent category, and/or move them to different parent categories.
After clicking on "Apply Modification", confirm your intent in the alert box with the "OK" (Are you sure you want to make these modifications ? button.)
Renaming albums
Choose a category from the dropdown list
Click on the album you want to change
Click on the text input filed at the bottom of the screen, highlighting the album name
Type the album name you want to assign
Click "Apply modifications"
Changing the album order
Click on the album you want to move up or down in the list
Use the arrow buttons to move the album up or down
After clicking to Apply Modification, confirm your intent in the alert box with the "OK" (Are you sure you want to make these modifications ? button.)
Deleting albums
Click on the album you want to delete
Click the "Delete" button
Confirm the alert box with "OK" (Are you sure you want to delete this album ? All files and comments it contains will be lost !)
Modifying albums/files
When you are logged in as admin and haven't switched admin controls off there is a menu displayed next to each album
Delete allows you to delete the album and (CAUTION) all files within it.
Properties allows you to modify the name, description and permissions of the album
Edit files allows you to modify the title/caption/keywords etc... of the files in the album
Album properties
The album properties page can be accessed by clicking on "Properties" item next to the thumbnail that represents a particular album.
Buttons that lead to other gallery pages that are related to what you're currently doing. When clicking on one of these buttons, all changes you have applied on the album properties screen will be lost if you haven't saved them previously, as you're being sent directly to the task you have picked.
Edit files
The button "Edit files" will send you directly to the Edit files dialog that can be accessed as well from the similar button next to the thumbnail that represents an album on the index page.
The button "Parent category" will send you to the index page of the category the album resides in that you're currently editing.
The button "Thumbnail view" will send you directly to the thumbnail overview of the album you're editing.
The "Choose album" dropdown list allows you to quickly switch to the album properties page of another album than the one you're currently editing. Use this dropwdown as a shortcut if you want to edit several album properties in a row without having to jump to the parent category first. When selecting an items from that dropwdown, you will be immediately sent to the corresponding album without the changes on the current page being saved.
The input field "Album title" can be used as an alternative to the corresponding naming option on the album manager if you want to rename just the current album. The album title will be the clickable text on the index page.
The "Album category" drop down list allows you to move an album from one category to another. If you set this to "* No category *" then the album will be displayed on your main page, i.e. in your gallery root.
The optional input field "Album description" can be used to provide an explanation about what is to be found in the album. Use bbcode to add links and additional formating to your descriptions.
Album keyword
In 1.4.x and better the Album Keyword is being used to link images from other album into another. Using this method, files/images can be displayed in various albums while the file itself need only exists in one album on your webserver. You simply upload a file to one album as you would normally do, then assign one or more keywords to the file.
The keyword function reads blank spaces between words as a 'break' and assumes that these words are separate words. If you must use phrases for your keywords, connect them with an underscore or by using the ASCII space holder [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[0][1][6][0] (NOTE: the latter option only works with latin based character sets.) Each album can only have ONE (1!) keyword or keyword phrase. All pictures residing in different albums that you would like to be displayed in this album must have the same keyword or keyword phrase in their respective keyword fields. Pictures, unlike albums can have multiple keywords or keyword phrases separated by spaces or another particular keyword separator that needs to be unique for your entire gallery. This provides you with the option to display pictures in many albums. For the visitor of these albums, it will appear as if the file/image had been uploaded to each album.
Album thumbnail
The thumbnail option lets you select the picture that will represent the album in the album list. Do not assign a picture here if you would like the album to select images randomly. Possible options are:
The thumbnails that have been uploaded so far to this album
Last uploaded (default)
Album can be viewed by
Using this dropdown you can specify who will have access (ie. who will be allowed to view) the content of this album. If you have specified a particular group to be allowed access, visitors who are not members of the group you specified will not be able to view the contents of this album. This applies as well to content linked into other albums using the album keyword feature - if the visitor isn't allowed to access the original content, he won't be able to access the linked content. If a visitor is denied access using the "Album can be viewed by" feature, he won't be able to upload to that album neither; you can't upload to albums that you're not allowed to access in the first place.
Pre-requisites: if you have set "Albums can be private" to YES on the config page, you can determine who will have permission to view the files of this album. If you have set the config option "Albums can be private" to NO (not recommended), you won't be able to specify access permissions, i.e. all albums will be public and the "Album can be viewed by" will not even be displayed.
If you have specified a password in the field "Album password", the dropdown list "Album can be viewed by" will be set to "Me only". That is expected behaviour and is perfectly fine if you want password-protection enabled. In other words: if you specify an album password, you can not restrict access further.
Instead of setting access restrictions using the "Album can be viewed by"-dropwdown selector you can alternatively specify an album password that visitors need to enter if they want to access a particular album.
Password protect this album
Tick this checkbox to enable password protection. The fields "Album password" and "Album password hint" will only be visible if the option "Password protect this album" has been ticked.
Album password (New password)
The input field "Album password" will only be displayed if the checkbox "Password protect this album" has been enabled. You can specify an album to be password-protected (instead of relying on the "regular" group-based permissions). This way, you can even allow access for unlogged users (guests) who you provide the password to. Use this option, for example, to set up an album for your family members only by specifying a password that only they can come up with answering an additional password hint (e.g. "What was the maiden name of aunt Emma?"), or you could decide to send the particular password to specific friends, family or business associates by email.
When setting an album password, the permission dropdown field "Album can be viewed by" will be switched automatically to "me only" - this is expected behaviour. If you change the "Album can be viewed by" to another selection, you must disable the album password as well.
Album password hint
The input field "Album password hint" will only be displayed if the checkbox "Password protect this album" has been enabled.
The optional album password hint will be displayed at the password prompt, when an album password is set.
Visitors can upload files
When "visitors can upload file" is set to YES, it is possible for them to upload files into albums.
Note that only visitors who are members of a group for which the setting "Public albums upload allowed" (groups control panel) is set to YES can actually upload to albums where the option "Visitors can upload files" (album properties) is enabled.
Visitors who are not in the permitted group will not be able to upload files into such an album. Non-registered users are members of the "Anonymous" group.
Visitors can post comments
Note that only visitors who are members of a group for which the setting "Comments permissions" (groups control panel) is set to YES can actually post comments on files in albums where the option "Visitors can post comments" (album properties) is enabled.
Visitors who are not in the permitted group will not be able to comment on files within such an album.
Visitors can rate files
Note that only visitors who are members of a group for which the setting "Rating permissions" (groups control panel) is set to YES can actually rate files in albums where the option "Visitors can rate files" (album properties) is enabled.
Visitors who are not in the permitted group will not be able to rate files within such an album.
Reset album properties
You can reset the number of views count and total ratings in the album properties panel and even delete all pics at once in the sub-section "Reset album" by ticking the desired checkboxes and then submitting the form. To prevent accidental resets, you will have to place a tick on the checkbox "I'm sure" before changes can be submitted (the button will be greyed out (disabled) if you don't).
Use these options with care: the deleting of files is irreversible, as well as the reset of views and ratings (you can only restore views and ratings by manually editing coppermine's database entries with third-party tools like phpMyAdmin - not recommended).
Admin vs. user
Non-admin users can not create albums in public categories by default. Only the admin can create albums there. Starting with cpg1.5.x, there is an option to allow non-admin users to create albums in categories created by the admin. To accomplish this, go to the category control panel and use the "Allow group to create Album" dropdown to specify what user group is allowed to create albums within that specific category.
If a non-admin user belongs to a group that is allowed to have personal galleries (configurable on the groups manager), he will have a reduced album manager page as well (named "Create / order my albums") where he can create albums within his personal gallery (aka "user gallery").
The admin can create albums within all categories. If you want to create a personal album as admin, choose "* My Gallery *" as parent category for your personal album.
Album FAQ
How do albums and folders work in coppermine?
When you create an album, it is a dynamic 'virtual' album. Coppermine doesn't create a physical folder for this album on the server's hard drive, it leaves the pictures where you put them on the server, and uses the database to know which pic belongs in which album. You can move pics from album to album in Coppermine, but it's all done in the database, the pics are never moved on the server.
When you upload by html, using the 'upload' link, coppermine places the pic (and the thumb and normal size copies) in the 'userpics' directory.
When you upload by ftp, you should place the pics into folders that you create within the 'albums' folder, but never in the 'userpics' folder. The 'userpics' folder is reserved for html uploads only. You can create as many folders/sub-folders for FTP uploads as you want. (Many webhosting services will recommend that you keep the number of files per folder under 500 in order to maximize speed and certain functions. This means you can upload up to 500/3 files in each folder.) You can name these folders anything you want, but we do recommend mirroring the category/album structures that you have created, whenever possible, to facilitate ease of use and site management.
When you batch-add files that you have already FTP'd to your site, coppermine asks you what album you want to put the pics in, but it leaves the pics where they are on the server.
How can I move albums from one category to another?
log in as admin
create categories (using category manager from admin menu)
go to the index page of your gallery
click "Properties" next to the album thumbnail that represents the album you want to see moved
From the dropdown list "Album category", choose the category the album should go to
Click "Update Album"
How do I create an album that all users can add photos to?
(Assuming that you have already created at least one category and/or one album where the uploaded photos should go to):
Confirm that you have the display of admin controls turned on
Select the Album list button
If you placed the album in a category, choose the category you created the album in
Next to the appropriate album, click on "properties"
Set "Visitors can upload pictures" to "yes" and click "update album"
Provide an upload link in your navigation menu if it's not already there (check /themes/yourtheme/theme.php)
Next, click on the Groups tab
For the group named "anonymous" - set the allowable space usage quota and upload rights

Today I went to Joann to get all of the closures and elastic and bias binding I need to get these costumes done and then I came home after my evening's activities (a massage!) and sewed on the closures for the cage and light pouch.
I know, not much, but at least it was something! The weekend starts tomorrow, though, and my husband is on a photography workshop trip, so I'll be sewing up a storm!
