Are people starting to trust brands and corporations more than governments?
Technology has reconfigured the mechanics of the traditional business landscape, changing what we buy and how we pay for it. Peer-to-peer systems like AirBnB and TaskRabbit encourage people to swap, share and rent amongst themselves rather than buy from stores. Concurrent with the growth in collaborative consumption is the emergence of a new understanding of 'money'. The limits of traditional monetary units are being tested against a backdrop of financial uncertainty, currency volatility and technological progress. People are coming to realise that their data, everyday activities and social chatter are alternative forms of value and payment. Slowly, we're seeing new micro- and crypto-economies being forged that aren't necessarily based on a traditional understanding of cash.
Surveys such as the Edelman Trust barometer suggest that there is a global weakening of trust in institutions and governments, If people are starting to trust businesses and brands more than their civic leaders, should we be questioning whether governments need to be in sole charge of money any more? In 1860 there were 1600 varieties of currency in America. Are brands hoping that history will start repeating itself? In a digital age, are loyalty programs becoming new forms of currency? Will people start to demand commodities (products and services) from brands in exchange for access to their personal data and consumption patterns? Are mobile phone credits more useful to modern consumers than loose change from a shopkeeper?
Jul 26 2013: I have found the more people involved and the larger any entity is the more untrustworthy they are.

Jul 27 2013: Trust is earned. Who has earned it?
- +1
Who must earn it by necessity?
That would be organizations that 1) do not have a monopoly, 2) deliver products of a quality that a discerning customer can detect after a short period of use, and 3) must have repeat sales, or word of mouth sales to survive.
The differentiation of the 50 United States allows governments to compete. So state governments have a chance at competing to earn trust.

Jul 26 2013: I believe that people know they can switch brands if something is wrong or make a loud enough noise, especially with social media, and it usually is fixed. We also understand Companies motivation, greed and money.

With governments we are not sure of the motivation of politicians - there is an old saying, an honest politician stays bought - unfortunately, I feel that today's politician in the US is to do anything to get re-elected or get money for re-election. They will switch sides and lie.Jul 26 2013: i don't get the relation between the title and the exposition. it gives me the impression that we live in an era when technology finally enables us to cooperate directly, without government help. but that is a completely false picture. governments interfering with people's life is a new thing. a few hundred years ago governments/kings virtually did nothing, they did not build roads, the did not provide healthcare, they did not provide education, they were not involved in safety regulations, and so on. today, government expenditures are in the range of 30-60% of GDP. that number was 1-2% even a hundred years ago. in the 1000's, courts did not deal with peasants' problems with each other. the only relation between kings or noble men and peasants were taxation and some other looting. otherwise, peasants were on their own.
the entire human history, i mean the history of the average pedestrian, not the nobility, is peer to peer cooperation. we don't need the internet, we don't need bitcoin, we don't need cellphones to be able to live without the help of rulers. living without the help of rulers is the norm, and we diverted from it only in the last couple of decades.
the result is failure on all accounts. it is only a matter of time for people to recognize that it is not not the execution that is wrong. the whole concept is unworkable. we need to go back to peer to peer.
Jul 26 2013: What a great reply! Thanks. I certainly think that collaborative consumption will increase rapidly, mainly because it appeals to both the altruists and environmentalists as well as the /extrinsically motivated money makers' (see http://www.collaborativeconsumption.com/2013/07/11/why-are-people-taking-part-in-collaborative-consumption)Jul 26 2013: private corporations, "brands" and government all employ the same tools for convincing people that they are needed. it's more of a comment on how people respond to advertising and spin doctoring than it is on the integrity of a brand or institution.
in the end, it's never lies that can be pointed to but, at very best, it's only selective honesty.
in my opinion, there's a huge discrepancy between what people believe and what they put on a survey and between survey results and the resulting spin.
facebook is a prime example. people click like, most often to receive something free. i don't think that carries any merit beyond the initial click. what is happening is something a false economy. i know that doesn't matter to corporations when they can wave a huge like network around but there's a breakdown there somewhere.
i have a band and perhaps we are not doing ourselves any favours but we do not advertise or beg for likes and shares. as a result, our like network is small but real.Jul 31 2013: ...when people are more towards external world than internal world it happens...and this would happen more...
...for the people limited to bread and butter corporates are the best choice as they provide livelihood and things needed to live also...and politics is attracting those who want to have power and luxury life...to reach high...less contributory more luxury and power...
...but this won't take long to come back as waves may take high but every wave after some time return to normal...challenge is for role models and education...bigger for parents...

Jul 31 2013: Thanks for your reply. Manish.
There has definitely been a swing by large brands towards 'purposeful marketing and having a social impact. For example, see the Unilever vision, here: http://www.unilever.com/aboutus/introductiontounilever/ourmission/index.aspx
You may also be interested in seeing the chapter that Contagious wrote about Brands with a Purpose in our annual 'Most Contagious review last year: http://www.slideshare.net/contagiousmag/most-contagious-2012
Jul 31 2013: Thanks and regardsJul 30 2013: Absolutely not. Government, even corrupt ones, are still 'big brother'. corporations do go bankrupt, do cheat, and without auditors and legislation could get away with murder. the corporate currencies are still only marketing tools.
Just take a look online at how many health products are out there and look for the disclaimer saying it's not an FDA approved drug that treats health conditions. Self medication herbals with no standards. you can still buy, and there is a market for powdered tiger bones, rhinoceros horn, hornets nests.
remember the the cure all tonics in Tom Sawyer? or was it Huckleberry Fin? Only some of those have been eliminated.
This is not just a feature of alternative medicine such as Ayurveda, naturopathy, reiki, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, etc.
Allopathy "western medicine" supposedly trustworthy according to the scientific method is still suspect... why? corporations. humans. liars and cheats. why was the whole field of pharmacovigilance invented? because thalidomide, the drug that cured morning sickness in pregnant women, caused birth defects. but the company continued to sell it untill it was forced to stop by...... governments.
Those dirty rotten cheats in government slow down the process, but still end up doing some public services despite their best efforts.
Brand and corporate identity is still important because the ethical consumer can directly impact human lives and sometimes speed up the bureaucracy. But will never replace government. Even in currency.
Jul 31 2013: Thanks for your comments, Manishka.Jul 30 2013: Differentiate for me please the difference between branded currency and coupons. I mean aside from the fact that one is electronic. It does not seem like a new idea to me. Just a new application of an old idea to get consumers to return to the same brand. I gotta say, I used to like it when dishes and glassware came in boxes of tide, but even then, that currency was not enough to make me purchase a more expensive detergent.
Money and currency are theoretical and based on a belief system. If everyone believes money has value, everyone will try and get more of it. Money is still theoretical even if we change the belief system that underlies the value and make it electronic currency.
Frankly, I do not trust any corporation or brand more than the government. I trust neither equally.
As a consumer, I make purchase decisions based on the availability of currency, whatever kind, coupons, sales, cash, debit card or barter. I do not pay extra for a brand. In essence, brand loyalty is a form of brainwashing, especially detergent...
When you work hard for the little you have you get picky about where you spend it.
Jul 30 2013: Hi. Coupons tend to be tied to purchases or small discounts. The ubiquity of mobile phones, the rise of wearable technology like the Nike Fuelband or Jawbone Up and people's increasing willingness to share personal data with brands is creating all kinds of possibilities for alternative currencies & commodities. I have explained some of these underneath my TED U talk here http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_kemp_robertson_bitcoin_sweat_tide_meet_the_future_of_branded_currency.html
Branded currencies could mean all kinds of things. If you look at the movement towards hyper-local shadow currencies such as the Bristol Pound (http://bristolpound.org/) or the Ithaca Hours network (http://www.ithacahours.org/) it's not too much of a stretch to think that an organisation like TED could issue its own currency, pegged to the dollar. TED florins (!) could be used to purchase products or services only from those companies endorsed by the TED 'brand' and proven to be ethical, sustainable, charitable, etc. Amazon Coins have been released for purchases inside the Kindle Fire app environment. Some economists are pointing out that this 'currency' could easily become a shadow to dollars in time; for example if one Amazon Coin was officially worth one dollar, Amazon could offer products for sale whereby the Coins price is lower than the dollar price. This would encourage people to stay loyal to the Amazon ecosystem: Amazon would happily take a hit via such discounting because in the long run it would make more sales, retain customers and have access to all kinds of valuable shopper data.
In my TED U talk, I refer to another kind of branded currency that Vodafone launched in Egypt, whereby people choose to receive 'Fakka' (mobile phone credits) instead of loose change in shops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqOsYNilElY In Mexico, Nike allowed people to bid their 'sweat' in exchange for exclusive goods that could not be purchased with real money: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt3npMtx49s
Aug 1 2013: Believe it or not, I've been following Bitcoin for a while so your tedtalk was not the first I heard of it. It still is a closed currency system where vendors award points to be used to attain products they profit from. Most of us know about 'front loading' and 'back loading' profit. This just seems to do the same thing across vendors.
Cashing in points is cashing in points. Whether you are S&H Green Stamps, airline miles, or tide.
It still smells the same in a different dress. And I do get it, as an advertising/marketing person, you job is to make us want the dress.Jul 28 2013: Hi Fritzie. You are right; there was a huge controversy a couple of years ago when BA changed its airmiles scheme into a new service called Avios. People who had been loyal to BA in the air and who had been diligently accruing points by purchashing goods at accredited retailers were suddenly faced with the prospect of paying hundreds of pounds in taxes and charges. See article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/sep/09/angry-flyers-airmiles-avios
One of the points I made in my TED U talk is that the balance of power is shifting: people know that the data they hold as consumers (their purchasing habits, quantified exercise patterns, social media influence, etc) means that they don't necessarily need to receive rewards purely via purchases; in an age of targeted advertising they can now acquire goods and services in exchange for sharing their data with marketers.Jul 28 2013: People generally trust brands from a narrow perspective of what those brand bring to the quality of their life. The brands are only part of their life. Corporations play their games too. People may get duped in the process but at the end they can dump the brands if they wish so. Governments are different from brands and corporations as they have bigger influance on a persons quality of life.
Governments in last few decades have missed the larger reason for their existance. Politicians have sabotaged the very purpose of governance (democratic or otherwise) for their own personal ambitions. If governance is corrupted due to the short-term ambitions of the politicians and authorities, corporations too have quarter-on-quarter greed to blame. At the end, one cannot trust both now !
Jul 28 2013: Hi Anand. Thanks for the comment. It's easy to see why you feel that way!
Hopefully social media will continue to force corporations to be increasingly transparent and accountable for their actions. Also, there are plenty of consumer surveys out there that suggest that people are increasingly choosing to buy products from companies with a social purpose, who are committed to 'doing good'. At Contagious, we have featured many companies who are making a genuine effort to give back to society.
My favourite examples would be Patagonia for its environmental credentials, Chipotle for its active support for rural communities and organic farming in the US, Hiutt Jeans in the UK for resurrecting clothes manufacturing in a depressed town,,Toms Shoes and Sir Richard's Condoms for their 'buy one, give one'philosophy, Raspberry Pi for democratising access to computing and Nike for its charitable work with adolescent girls in developing countries ( http://www.girleffect.org/ )Jul 28 2013: I don't think there is much trust for either unfortunately. Brands will only look after you interests until a financial situation arises where exploiting your interests has greater returns than keeping your interests.
Most governments have lost the legitimacy to govern because they have become nothing more than puppets to corporations and the rich.
In both scenarios money is generally the root of the problem.
Governments need to be separated from external influences so that they can regain the trust. Governments also need to refocus on making decisions that are based on improving the quality and enjoyment their citizens lives.
Brands/companies should also change their focus so that they are run to the benefit of their customers and employees lives, not for the betterment of the stock market.
I think in summary both end up falling into the same trap, both lose trust because their focus is based on increasing wealth in the stock market rather than increase the happiness of the people they were setup to serve.Jul 27 2013: re:Are people starting to trust brands and corporations more than governments?
No, but interestingly people are according (by indirect methods) corporations with individual personalities and value systems (there have been ted talks about it). Which is a step in that direction.Jul 26 2013: As others have pointed out, distrust in the government goes way back- it is my opinion that most realize the corruption going on and simply tolerate it, brush it to the side until one day, it goes too far. Oh, I've had many conversations on the fall of the dollar, the fall of the government, and one world currency among other things. So, do I believe it is valid? Should the people trust the puppet or the puppet master? As far as I'm concerned, it's all the same. As Frank and Lawren pointed out- governments seek control, business seeks money. Both are mechanisms for keeping us nice and comfortable in our little doll house, and one is just as trustworthy as the other. However, as Lawren also noted, at least I can choose to not spend money with a company. The government just takes it, and if I refuse, takes my freedom along with it.
I must say, I think I would trust a credit with a company over cash just as readily, and perhaps in the future it won't even be a question. I agree that our economy is heading to more diverse forms of currency, and it's my belief this is a benefit rather then concern. Less opportunity for collapse, and more opportunity for human interaction and control.Jul 26 2013: Some brands are more than 100 years old, which proves brands have been enjoying people's trust since long back .Jul 26 2013: I noticed your statistics. Maybe these ideas are not as radical as they seem. Look at stock and bonds etc., but remember one thing. People fight and die for contries Since the Hensatic League has anyone done the same for a business?Jul 26 2013: Lol,whom can you trust more between brands ,corporations and governments?That's good question Paul Kemp-Robertson.
in my conception of trust,once I decide I just trust what I selected.It is from inner thinking.I don't bother myself to suspect too much what I chose.Maybe because I learnt Computer Education major,I prefer computer binary theory:1 and 0,not 1 then 0,as simple as possible,that's why computer can restore amount of data without mistake:).
Never attached trust to any else but ourselves thinkingJul 25 2013: God, I hope that people never trust corporations like their government. People must remember that companies and corporations are there for one reason only: to make money in every way they can. This makes them automatically suspect since it means they are not there for the good of the people like governments are supposed to be.
Lawren Jones
Jul 26 2013: Oh c'mon, Frank. Even you weren't able to say 'governments are' without adding a caveat. Governments are there for one reason only: to have power over us in every way they can. It always amazes me when folks think that he rich and powerful people in business are evil and corrupt, but the rich and powerful people in politics only want to hug us and kiss our boo-boos. At least with a corporation I can choose not to do business. But the government has me under their thumb no matter what I do. Give me a CEO over a politician any day.Jul 25 2013: I watched your talk about Bitcoin earlier today, Paul, and I was astounded at your reaction to the Edelman Trust statistics. When have we not trusted government less than business!
- +1
Or is it just the American perspective, perhaps? America was settled by people who distrusted their governments of origin, hence the emigration. Americans revel in their distrust of government. It's the core value of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Sure, we generally distrust businesses too, but we'll trust a corporation over the "guv'ment" any day.
Jul 25 2013: I agree with you that there is a long tradition in America of distrust in government and of questioning authority of all kinds. This is one of the things I have discovered people in other countries often do not know about Americans.Jul 26 2013: Hi Lawren - I wish every country in the world shared America's distrust of government! The Edelman Trust Barometer is a global sample, so reflects a wide range of countries - including several major European and Asian economies where 'the State' plays a much more active (some would say authoritarian or nannying) role.
My reaction to the stats was because there has been a serious erosion in trust in countries where traditionally the scores have been much higher. This has started to create fissures and in many countries, 'brands' are stepping in to offer tools and services that would otherwise have been supplied by the state. For example, in Kenya the telecoms company Safaricom launched a service called Daktari 1525 to provide qualified medical advice to subscribers via their mobile phones. Given the relative lack of doctors and the difficult transport infrastructures in remote areas, this has proved to be an effective alternative. See the promo video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6anx66G_2w
Elsewhere in Africa, the Coca-Cola Company has co-created the ColaLife charity to distribute vital medical supplies to places that government officials and NGOs were failing to reach: see Wired's artilce here: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-03/28/colalifeJul 25 2013: Why are people going to prefer to trust corporations they can invest in and purchase from compared to a government they can vote on and depend upon. With a government people are very involved in their belief systems to a degree which corporations simply don't address. If abortion, pro-life or pro-choice, is important to me, if the death penalty, enforced or abolished, is important to me, if prayer in school is or isn't important to me, etc., what does a corporation have to do with that, how is a brand relevant to my belief system?
I think the best way to answer this question (and I'm too lazy to attempt it here) is to forget about money and to stop treating currency as the sole reason why people would trust brands and corporations more than governments. Instead, ask yourself, do these corporations or the government best preserve the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the fundamental nature of the American citizen with the natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Do I want a company to be the governing body when it comes to gay marriage or gender equality?
The government has the stated intention of being of the people, by the people an for the people. That cannot be said or a corporation. So why choose the later?
Jul 26 2013: Hi Daniel. I agree that governments are best placed to preserve national constitutions and social rights. My question was prompted by the talk I was asked to give at TED University in Edinburgh last month: http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_kemp_robertson_bitcoin_sweat_tide_meet_the_future_of_branded_currency.html
I only had nine minutes to cover the complex subject of the emergence of alternative forms of currencies and how brands are starting to blur the distinction between currency and commodity by offering people new ways of acquiring goods and services. I quoted the Edelman Trust Barometer survey which shows a global decline or decentralization of trust in government officials and regulators, as well as an Opinium/Contagious survey that suggests that 45% of 25-34-year olds in the US would 'feel comfortable using an independently issued or branded currency.' I accept that survey results can often be taken with a pinch of salt, but my question was more to do with whether or not people have started to look towards corporations to provide the kind of useful, everyday tools and services that governments either can't afford or are no longer prepared to fulfil. Please see my reply to Lawren Jones (above) for some examples.
I saw a quote recently from Professor Edward Castronova, an expert in synthetic economies at Indiana University: he was commenting on the launch of Amazon Coins, which is a digital currency currently restricted for use within apps and games within the Kindle Fire environment. He suggested that Amazon could (easily) eventually extend Coins into the wider Amazon network, which would effectively be creating a shadow economy. That's the area that I'm interested in, out of professional curiosity: in certain parts of the world, will people begin to trust branded currencies more than national ones? Will we start to see various forms of alternative currencies and payment systems running alongside the traditional?
Jul 26 2013: Thanks for the thorough reply. I'll do my homework (watch your talk and the linked talks; read the other comments, etc.) on this subject. And then rejoin the conversation later.Jul 26 2013: Would you put airline miles that people can then use to purchase further tickets or magazines in this category?
Are there provisions in these alternative currencies that they can expire or that the terms can change that affect what they are worth?
Jul 26 2013: Fritzie: I can recall an article from The Economist a few years back that referred to airmiles as a currency (albeit in inverted commas). It pointed out that there are more un-redeemed miles in circulation than dollar bills!
Airmiles are relatively passive forms. At Contagious, we've been tracking some unconventional forms of new 'currencies' (in a loose sense of the word) that brands are playing around with. My favourite comes from Mexico where people who use Nike's wearable technology (Fuelband or Nike+) could opt-in to an exclusive auction that allowed them to bid for items of Nike clothing and footwear by paying with their sweat - literally! The auction worked by tracking the data being exchanged between the user and Nike that tracks the level of exercise, energy consumption, miles covered, etc. Nike converts this activity into a sliding scale of points: the more intensely you exercise, the more 'Fuelpoints' you accrue. These points then become a crypto-currency that Nike's consumers can use to 'purchase' certain Nike products that are impossible to buy with conventional money.Jul 26 2013: Yes, I heard that in your talk.
The reason I asked about airline miles is that I thought there was an issue some years ago with airlines changing the terms (for the worse) of what airline miles could be exchanged for (the value in exchange) or the time period over which they needed to be spent in a way that applied not only to miles still to be accrued but also to mileage points that had already been collected.
Perhaps I remember this incorrectly.Jul 25 2013: You don't have any comments yet and I haven't had time to listen to your talk or even read more than the topic of your post. So you can consider my response either ignorant or unbiased. I have seen the James B. Glattfelder and started a conversation on it, so that alone I am familiar with.
I think people already realize that corporations (of which brands are nothing more than infantry divisions are to an entire army) are de facto government entities. Examples... Politics in America are significantly influenced by lobbyists and those lobbyists are largely those of Big Business. The most convincing, or realistic, science fiction I've involves the existence of corporatocracies. I think if you run our national ideologies through a sewer treatment plant to get rid off all the bullshit and you find that democracy has little, not the least, but little do with it and capitalism has the most to do with it.
I'm more interested in hearing about what chances the out-dated system of bartering has in this environment of shifting currencies. There are a rising number of places where you can receive and pay for good and services with goods and services of your own, bypassing currency in all its forms.
Government currencies do have the backing of national entities, whereas brand currencies are based on brands, which are nothing more than images, signs, concepts. To the public, its not institution versus corporation, its institution versus product.

WEEDVILLE – In response to a growing concern among residents in the Weedville area related to the increased presence of elk in their community, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has scheduled a public meeting for 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 3 at the Bennetts Valley Senior Center, located at 149 Plum St., Jay Township.
Adhering to the 20-day comment period, Elk County commissioners approved their 2013 budget during a special meeting Thursday morning. The spending plan features no tax increase.
John L. "Jack" Timblin, age 73, of Keller Road, Kersey, died Monday, Dec. 24, 2012, at the home of his niece, Cheryl Good.
He was born Sept. 10, 1939 in Kersey to Lloyd W. and Freda Mae Reed Timblin.
He was a member of the Toby United Methodist Church. Jack was a member of the Horton Township Sportsmen's Club. He enjoyed hunting, NASCAR Racing and building puzzles. Jack also enjoyed going for walks with his dogs.
He worked at Carlisle Mould and Materials for 33 years in the brake department before his retirement.
Rev. I. Dewayne Johnson, 89, of 411 Toby Rd., Kersey, died on Monday, Dec. 24, 2012 at Elk Regional Health Center in St. Marys following a brief illness.
He was born March 10, 1923 in Toby, a son of the late Victor C. and Daisy Moyer Johnson.
On May 20, 1951 in Brandy Camp United Methodist Church, he married Ardith Trumbull Johnson, who survives.
Marie L. Black, 76, of 1095 Baughman Hill Rd., Sigel, died on Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012 at Kane Community Hospital following a brief illness.
She was born Oct. 6, 1936 in Ridgway, a daughter of the late Andrew and Helen Beuhler Abplanalp.
She was married to Victor Black, who survives.
Despite significant snowfall Wednesday afternoon, a snow-covered Main Street was still traveled on by a number of vehicles in downtown Ridgway. Many areas reported having at least nine inches of snow on the ground, if not more, while areas of McKean and Potter Counties reported having roughly one foot of snow on the ground.
Area residents celebrated the 30th Christmas Day Happening celebration with a Christmas Day dinner full of various events at Central Fire Station in Ridgway. Among the events were a dinner at noon, students from April School of Dance performing along with Bailey Pretak, who performed various Christmas musical numbers on the keyboard. There was a slide show illustrating past Christmas Day Happening events while patrons ate full turkey or ham dinners with mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, Italian wedding soup, and various other delectable delights.
A discussion concerning the installation of a Marcellus Shale well located above the Ridgway Reservoir continued during Monday's borough council meeting.
The concern was first addressed at November's meeting after council member Ralph Dussia, who came upon the site while hunting, questioned Environmental Manager Paul McCurdy on the effects of a potential spill near the reservoir.
A former Ridgway Fire Department Treasurer was in Elk County Court Friday where he accepted a plea deal on charges that he misused over $15,000 in company funds between March 2008 and October 2009.
Daniel Jack Sample, 30, of 513 Mill St., Johnsonburg, died Friday morning, Dec. 21, 2012 at Elk Regional Health Center.
He was born on Aug. 23, 1982 in St. Marys, the son of Richard Jack Sample and Judith A. Muroski Sample.

The Heavy
This Week's "True Blood": Sookie "Against" John Mellencamp?
Sookie, the main character from HBO's True Blood, has plenty of problems on her hands these days. One of her vampire ex-boyfriends is a religious evangelist who now sees humans as little more than food. Another ex- is on the run from the first ex-. A werewolf who she was about to hop into bed with now finds her repulsive (and not only because she threw up on him in the heat of the moment). But on this week's episode, she may have added to her problems by insulting a heartland rocker so ornery he named himself "Little Bastard."

- people in the U.S. have this name View Nicholas Campo on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English form of the post-classical Greek personal name Nikolaos, derived from nikē 'victory' + laos 'people'. The spelling with -ch- first occurred as early as the 12th century, and became firmly established at the time of the Reformation, although Nicolas is still occasionally found. St Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop of Myra in Lycia, about whom virtually nothing factual is known, although a vast body of legend grew up around him, and he became the patron saint of Greece and of Russia, as well as of children, sailors, merchants, and pawnbrokers. His feast day is 6 December, and among the many roles which legend has assigned to him is that of bringer of Christmas presents, in the guise of 'Santa Claus' (an alteration of the Dutch form of his name, Sinterklaas).
|127th in the U.S.
Italian and Spanish: habitational name from any of numerous places named with campo 'field', 'country(side)', a derivative of Latin campus 'plain'.
|5,166th in the U.S.
Nicknames & variations
Nichols, Nicholaus, Nicholes, Nicholos, Nicholaos, Nicholis, Nicholus, Nichlas, Nichlos, Nicholasa

Is there a way to set my Gmail so that the default Inbox is "All mail"?
I mean as soon as I go to gmail.com or mail.google.com, All Mail opens up, is this possible other than specifying it in the address?
The address you are normally taken to is
There currently is no way to have it go there by default. I would suggest just bookmarking https://mail.google.com/mail/#all or you could go a whole different route and use some kind of Greasemonkey script that would allow you to change where the GMail button links to.
You can turn use "multiple inboxes" to get all mail to the top of the window
There may be a couple of second lag the first time you go back to the main page, because it has to execute the new query.
It does the job with a couple of issues:
Note: you will need to ensure that in Settings -> Inbox, your Inbox type is set to "Default".
I came across this thread when looking for a way to have all my mail displayed as a default when GMail opened as the first my browser (Chrome) showed - it used to be like that.
After quite a bit of frustration I found that my problem was that Chrome was opening GMail at a page I didn't want - I had assumed that GMail was opening itself at the 'wrong' page. I got in amongst the Chrome settings and reset the first page it displayed to the one I wanted from GMail.
Hope this helps anybody else who may have had the same problem.
All you have to do is in settings under inbox uncheck the other options except the primary and it will default to all mail

Are there signs for Route des Grandes Alpes in Menton, Sospel or anywhere near the end of the route?
I'm sure there is another one nearer to your destination, but at least in La Grave, there is a sign for sure. I pictured it personally last summer.

Recipe by JESSICABAZEMORE
"Steamed and then baked, these scrumptious green beans take on great flavor, because they are wrapped in bacon and bathed in a savory sauce. This recipe is best when you marinate the bundles overnight."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

10 slices
1 pound
fresh green beans
1 cube
beef bouillon
4 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons
soy sauce
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
This was super easy and super good. If you feel too lazy to make these into bundles, you can just tear up the bacon and toss everything into the casserole to bake. I added a few water chestnuts for the crunchy texture.
I really didn't think that the flavor of these greenbeans were worth all of the effort. In my opinion, they tasted like the were missing something. I served these to my guests on Thanksgiving and they were impressed because of the wrapping, but I ended up throwing a can of stewed tomatoes over them in the end to "balance them out". Also I don't think you need to pre cook if your going to marinate overnight. They would have turned out just fine if they were chilled with the marinade and then cooked a bit longer then recommended. Mine turned out a little burnt after following these instructions. Sorry

These are so yummy and scruptous! My husband loved them! And I really liked the fact that I could marinate them overnight. It helped the next to do just pop them in the oven. This recipe made 10 bundles. Can't wait to make them again!
Mmmm mmm. We steamed the beans and partially cooked the bacon first and let them sit in the marinade for 5-6 hours before assembling to bake. The marinade had a mouth watering aroma. Wonderful recipe. Definitely will make again when beans are more in season.
I took these to an agency Christmas party and everybody wanted the recipe. I prefer not to marinate the beans overnight. Steamed the beans and wrapped with the bacon. Next morning poured the sauce over and baked. I did use low sodium soy and worchestershire.
This was going out on a limb for me. I cook the same thing all of the time. I can say I was impressed, my husband was impressed and my kids. I will be adding this to my "weekly" rotation. Excellent!
Excellent recipe! The only thing I would have done differently is marinate the string beans in the sauce for a stronger flavour.
I went the lazy way and crumbled the bacon and put everything together in a casserole dish and marinated overnight and then baked them the next day for a New Year's Day dinner. Everyone said they were good, however, they were salty and I would recommend using the low sodium varieties of the sauces. I think that you could even cut the marinade in half because it makes a lot.

The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
The Tradition of Wisdom for Today: a Relational Theology of Science
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
What about the Bible?
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis (4 entries)

By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist

Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes (5 entries)
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Pre-Modern Readings on Genesis 1 (3 entries)
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."

On June 28 we visited Rich and Linda Bradshaw at RB Arena to put Billy Royal Bling to the test during cow sorting. Linda and Spud were kind enough to volunteer as models, sporting our Billy Royal Bling Star & Studs browband bridle, noseband and breastcollar. Linda told us that she was a fan of the design and we thought the rustic silver conchos looked great on her blue roan gelding!
Customer Service representative Amber also joined in on the fun, riding one of our models named Roany. We weren't sure if Roany had ever seen cows before, but he kept calm and collected and seemed to enjoy himself! He looked very flashy in his Billy Royal Bling Turquoise browband bridle.
We had a blast watching and participating in cow sorting with the Bradshaws! Check out the full line of Billy Royal Bling at sstack.com!

Jan. 13, 1930 - Oct. 31, 2011
Liz Anderson, an influential songwriter and recording artist who was instrumental in Merle Haggard's early career, died Monday, Oct. 31, at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, of complications from heart and lung disease.
Mrs. Anderson, the mother of prominent country singer Lynn Anderson and a founding board member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International, was 81.
Born Elizabeth Jane Haaby, Mrs. Anderson spent her early childhood in Pine Creek, Minn., a place she described as "a cross in the road," near the Canadian border. When she was 13, the family moved to Grand Forks, N.D., where she met Casey Anderson: She was 16 when the couple married.
Daughter Lynn was 3 years old when the family moved to California, and Mrs. Anderson began writing songs around 1957, just as the California country music scene was blossoming. Del Reeves was the first country artist to record a song Mrs. Anderson wrote, and in 1961 his version of Mrs. Anderson's "Be Quiet Mind" became Reeves' first Top 10 country hit.

Title: the revenge of the SHOE GOBLIN - part 3
Date: August 8, 2006
Summary: Beaver and Steve's on-going battle with the Shoe Goblin takes a horrific turn.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Shoe Goblin, Sun
Onomatopoeias used: "REMOVE!", "PRESS", "HOPP!", "PFFT!", "SHAKE!", "BEEP", "JING"
Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
Next to the ASK US ABOUT SHOES and WE ALSO SELL SOCKS! signs, there's now also a ("no ducks" image) EXCEPT GUIDE DUCKS one.
Beaver confronts the recently unmasked (unbearded?) Shoe Goblin.
Beaver: "You're not taking that shoe anywhere Shoe Goblin!"
Shoe Goblin REMOVE!'s his fake beard.
Shoe Goblin: "I'd like to see ye stop me..."
Panel 2
Shoe Goblin HOPP!s in the air, PRESSes his beltbuckle and PFFT!s purple gas into Beaver and Steve's faces.
Shoe Goblin: "Once ye've had a taste o' my knock-out shoe gas!"
Steve: "Gag! My eyes! It burns! It burns!"
Beaver: "Akh!"
Beaver: "Cheesy fumes... Rendering me unconcious..."
Panel 3
Beaver and Steve are on the floor, with an open box that reads "SOLES".
Three shoe soles can be seen on the floor, as well as a dead sole fish.
Beaver: "Ugh... Head throbbing... Strange craving for stilton... What happened?"
Panel 4
The view pans slightly to the right, also revealing a soul (phonetically equivalent to 'sole') on the floor.
Beaver: "Oh no! The Shoe Goblin! He's gone! Wake up Steve! We have to catch him!"
Beaver SHAKE!s Steve, who is still sleeping
Steve: "Mrf.. Yes your highness, I'd love some more trifle... ZZZZZ..."
Panel 5
Beaver: "With a shoe that size there's no telling what he might do... But will we ever find him?"
Panel 6
A large shot of the whole city block, showing the shoe shop (labelled "SHOES"), a hat shop across the street ("HAT-O-RAMA" with a little hat above the O), and a "mile-long" shoebox with various rocket boosters attached to it, preparing for take-off, in the middle of the street.
A car is BEEPing its horn at the shoebox and the Shoe Goblin is climbing up the box on a ladder, with his hat bell JING JINGing.
Shoe Goblin: "Ha ha ha!"
The Sun is observing it all from above, while Beaver and Steve are completely unaware of the box, looking the opposite way.
Beaver: "Ok Steve, if you were an evil, shoe-obsessed fairy-creature with a mile long shoe box, where would you be?"
Steve: "Canada?"
[To be contd.]
Fun Facts
- This is the second time the Shoe Goblin has used his belt's special features to knock out Beaver and Steve.
- Sole fish can be bought from the shoe shop.
- Parking a giant shoebox-shaped spacecraft beside the road is not illegal.
- Mr. Sun has recovered nicely and has returned to the sky.
- Trifle is an English dessert dish made from thick (or often solidified) custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice or, more recently, gelatin dessert and whipped cream.

Meet Dale Cockrell, cautious missionary.
"I'm trying to reintroduce the nation to its musical history," he says.
But wait, there's more.
"And by so doing, extend and deepen the musical consciousness of the nation."
Cockrell is a professor at Middle Tennessee State University.
An academic.
He's supposed to be writing run-on sentences, in journals you don't read. He's supposed to be preparing next semester's PowerPoint presentations, or off doing whatever it is that tenured faculty members do during their unhurried summer months. (Snorkeling? Civil War battle re-enactments?)
Instead, he's dusting off 19th century American songs and gathering world-class musicians to play and sing those songs in a way that's enjoyable, present and accessible.

Cardiff Blues have Leigh Halfpenny back from injury for their RaboDirect PRO12 clash with Glasgow Warriors.
Saturday's game at the Arms Park sees the back return to the side after an absence due to injury as the Blues look to bounce back from last week.
"This week it is about tightening up the defence, ensuring we make our one on one tackles effectively and continue to build our set piece," said director of rugby Phil Davies on Friday.
"We also need to get our scrum more consistent. Overall it is important to ensure the consistency is there and that we are more clinical.
"It is important to encourage the players to play positive rugby; like when you see Tom James or Alex Cuthbert breaking from the back and getting the crowd on their feet.
"As a coach you have to be objective and keep the players feeling as if they are moving forward."
The Blues know it will be a tough match facing an in-form Glasgow side who have put together a run of three successive RaboDirect PRO12 victories, and have won four of their last five encounters with the Welsh regions.
Glasgow also achieved the double over the Blues for the very first time last season and are going for an unprecedented third straight win over the Welshmen.
"This week has been a really good week of preparation," continued Davies.
"We have trained against Bath, which was about creating a really competitive, high intensity environment in which to train.
"Bath came down to Cardiff for a few days and we had a number of training sessions.
'We worked on lineouts, scrums and played a 15 against 15, which was refereed by Nigel Owens.
"It is important to have a bit of variety as well as keeping the players moving forward. We are ready to play and hopefully we can get the win tonight.
"Glasgow are a high quality team. They were unlucky at the start of the season but have won their last three games.
"They are strong up front, and are lead by Alastair Kellock who is a quality international second row; the battle between him and Lou Reed is going to be interesting."
Meanwhile, Gregor Townsend's starting XV for the game shows nine changes from that which ran out in the win over Zebre.
Behind the scrum, Peter Murchie comes in at full-back for his 50th appearance in a Warriors jersey, Alex Dunbar and Peter Horne resume their centre pairing, Sean Lamont replaces hamstring injury victim DTH van der Merwe on the left wing and Henry Pyrgos starts at scrum-half.
Up front, Dougie Hall slots in at hooker, captain Al Kellock comes into the second-row, John Barclay starts at openside and Ryan Wilson dons the number eight jersey. New signing Josh Strauss, who made his debut against Zebre, moves across the back-row to blindside flanker as a result.
"It's a sign of the strength in depth we have at the club this year that despite having 10 key players injured, I firmly believe we're sending out a very strong side this week," Townsend told glasgowwarriors.org.
"A number of players who got an opportunity in the team last week certainly underlined their capabilities, and those who are coming back in this weekend know they need to maintain high standards.
"Having that level of competition is great for everyone, and ensures that there is always a real edge to our work both in preparation and out there on the pitch.
"I'm delighted for Peter Murchie that he's reaching 50 appearances this week. Tom Ryder did likewise against Zebre, and they're two of our most consistent players who work extremely hard at their game."
Form: Cardiff Blues suffered their biggest ever home defeat since the region was formed in 2003 when Ulster were the visitors to the Arms Park on Friday. The Blues have already been defeated at home by a Scottish side this campaign, losing 19-21 to Edinburgh in round two. Glasgow Warriors have put together a run of three successive RaboDirect PRO12 victories, and have won four of their last five encounters with the Welsh regions. Glasgow achieved the double over the Blues for the very first time last season and are going for an unprecedented third straight win over the Welshmen. The Warriors' only previous victory at the Arms Park came against Cardiff RFC in August 2002.
The teams:
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Harry Robinson, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Tom James, 10 Ceri Sweeney, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius (c), 7 Josh Navidi, 6 Rory Watts-Jones, 5 Lou Reed, 4 James Down, 3 Benoit Bourrust, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Campese Ma'afu.
Replacements: 16 Marc Breeze, 17 Taufa'ao Filise, 18 Scott Andrews, 19 Macauley Cook, 20 Robin Copeland, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Gareth Davies, 23 Dan Fish.
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Peter Horne, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Al Kellock (capt), 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Mike Cusack, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Gordon Reid.

Skin Needling/Needle Dermabrasion
Posted 21 October 2002 - 06:38 AM
Hi all, I decided to take a moment to edit this thread seeing as it has got so long!
I thought I would point out to the new people looking at it to READ AT LEAST TO PAGE 25 OF THE THREAD!!! (or at least skim!)
Initially, the thread deals with self-needling, which has since been viewed by the scar board in general as being quite dangerous, and not advisable for treating scars. It is only at around pg 20, when Maya and Oursfan start discussing their experiences with professionals performing needling on them that the information becomes more valid to people looking into needling at the present time. Needling is now offered by more practitioners worldwide than when this thread was started, and therefore it is more advisable that you seek out someone who offers it rather than attempting it yourself.
On the whole, though, the information in the thread is fantastic.
Hi everyone!
Has anyone tried skin needling for their scars?
Check the sites above - gives you more info.
I am very excited about this and want to get it done as soon as my acne clears up. My pitting on the cheeks is quite severe.
EDIT: Maya is a former moderator but unfortunately no longer posts here.
Posted 21 October 2002 - 04:49 PM
Posted 22 October 2002 - 12:31 AM
Did you have your whole face done? How long did it take?
Are you in the UK by any chance?
Posted 22 October 2002 - 08:32 PM
Posted 23 October 2002 - 12:22 AM
Please keep me informed of how it continues.
By the way, perhaps at some stage, you could, with your husband, write out exactly how he perfomed this on you, because I want to go an approach som tatto artists here in the UK with the suggestion of needling my whole face.
I have noticed that a lot of tatoo artists are not keen on doing the face - but if I could explain to them the procedure, from a tatooists point of view, they may do it for me.
Thank you - very much
Posted 24 October 2002 - 07:13 PM
So far I am very happy with the results. As others have said the nice thing about this is that it does not damage your skin, I am able to go on with my daily routine and the area's tattooed don't look worse than a small pimple. Wearing no makeup has also made the rest of my face very clear.
Posted 24 October 2002 - 11:16 PM
Joginn - please could you ask your husband this - if someone could use like a really fine needle on themselves? And did he use some lotion on your face to numb it before using the tatoo gun?
Posted 25 October 2002 - 09:34 AM
I am so excited.
Please keep me updated as to your progress though. Thanks

Posted 03 November 2002 - 07:53 PM
Joginn - Did your husband use anything for the tattooing? My friend said that he thinks he might use witch hazel. He doesn't think it would be a good idea to do it "dry". Also, what did you do for it afterward? Did you use hydrogen peroxide? neosporin? tattoo goo?

This professionally remanufactured Canon CL31 Color inkjet cartridge is an original Canon CL31 Color ink-jet cartridge which has been through one cycle of service and has been recharged. The CL31 Color ink cartridge has been thoroughly cleaned along with the printhead nozzles. Then the original CL31 was inspected for any possible shell leakage, tested on the operation of all electrical circuitry and finally ran through an actual print test. If the inkjet cartridge passes our rigid standards, it is a remanufactured CL-31 for your Canon printer! Compatible with the Canon Pixma printers.
We offer a 100% Quality Satisfaction Guarantee on our Remanufactured CL31.
Please be aware that due to changes in printer programming the ink levels for this particular cartridge might appear to be low or empty. It is indeed full and will print a full yield.
