Digital Ally, Inc. Positioning for Growth in Police Video Camera Market
A slow growing economy has been capturing headlines at the national level, especially with monthly reports on unemployment highlighting the problems. Budget deficits are another headline grabbing economic story, however less widely covered is the fact that government budget struggles are found at all levels of government. Local communities are suffering just as much as the federal government and must face difficult challenges as they strive to deliver essential services. Digital Ally has a product in their low-priced digital cameras that can help with public safety and tightening budgets.
Digital Ally is a technology-driven company that specializes in advanced digital video police cameras and law enforcement surveillance equipment. Using the newest generation of technology, they develop and manufacture the industry's first Digital In-Car Video System integrated into a rear view mirror. They also offer an all-weather video system that law enforcement officers can use in an ATV, boat, or motorcycle. A personal body camera, a digital video system that is integrated into a law enforcement style flashlight, provides a revolutionary wireless microphone, a versatile thermal camera and the most advanced LIDAR speed gun available to law enforcement. Their products are used by government agencies ranging from the military to correctional facilities, park rangers, and first responders associated with port authorities. Private security companies also use these systems.
The company will be exhibiting its complete product line at the annual International Police Chiefs conference in late-October. Discussing the opportunity, Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Ally, Inc., said, "We are pleased to announce that we will present the full DVM line of in-car video systems at the IACP Conference as we feature our new DVM-100 and DVM-400 systems, which are fully functional in-car video systems specifically designed for smaller and budget-constrained law enforcement agencies. We are now able to meet the in-car video requirements of the vehicular fleets of virtually any law enforcement agency -- regardless of size or funding capabilities -- with a wide variety of features and retail price points ranging from $1,895 for the DVM-100 to $4,995 for the DVM-750. All of our DVM systems are incorporated into a rear view mirror, thereby minimizing the amount of interior vehicle space required for installation."
Ross also noted that, "Digital Ally will also feature a significant expansion in the capabilities of its Laser Ally LIDAR speed enforcement product line at this year's IACP Conference. Our new LIDARCam and DragonCam systems leverage the highly accurate speed detection capabilities of Laser Ally through the addition of digital cameras with a variety of features that allow law enforcement officers to capture, view and archive images, thereby providing evidentiary documentation of speed limit violations that can prove valuable in court. We also believe these new LIDAR products will allow us to more effectively penetrate the international speed enforcement market, because many countries require this type of documentation."

Alex Jones says idea is a manufactured publicity stunt designed to boost Christmas sales
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
December 4, 2013
A deluge of questions followed in the wake of CEO Jeff Bezos' announcement on 60 Minutes that Amazon was planning to deliver goods by drone within five years, but could the whole story be one giant public relations hoax in order to boost holiday sales?
That's the claim being made by radio host Alex Jones, who finds CBS' helpful promotional pitch for Amazon – the night before Cyber Monday – all too coincidental, asserting that it was a scam to secure hundreds of millions of dollars worth of free advertising.
Calling the idea "unfeasible on so many fronts," Jones said the scam was designed to get everyone talking about Amazon.com at the height of the holiday shopping season, an example of "product placement" disguised as a news story.
"This is an absolute War of the Worlds level fraud to get everybody talking about drones delivering packages to people's homes so that everyone talks about Amazon," said Jones, who accused CBS of approaching Amazon to hatch the plot in return for advertising revenue.
The radio host called on investigative journalists to dig into the premise that the PR stunt was a coordinated hoax from the very outset.
"It's not meant to be feasible, it's meant to make you debate it and talk about it and then at a subliminal level then at an overt level you go and leave the watercooler at work and buy a bunch of stuff at Amazon," said Jones.
Huffington Post and others also noted how the announcement was "timed nicely, and not coincidentally with the 'Cyber Monday' online shopping event."
Innumerable problems that Amazon would have to overcome in order to fully implement the drone delivery program have been identified, with many asserting that the whole idea is completely unfeasible.
– Huge numbers of people who live in major cities (Amazon's primary target market for drone delivery) live in apartments, meaning there would be nowhere for the drones to land to deliver the goods;
– The packages and the drones themselves could easily be stolen by thieves;
– Drones do not have the technological capability to be aware of their environment, meaning collisions, accidents, injuries, property damage and a flood of lawsuits are almost inevitable;
– Former editor-in-chief of Wired turned commercial drone mogul Chris Anderson labeled Amazon's proposal "incredibly stupid," dismissing the idea of drones being used in built-up areas;
– Congress is moving aggressively to limit the capability of drones being used for surveillance, which could massively impact any plans Amazon has to fund the project by collecting customer data via its fleet of PrimeAir drones.
All these reasons and more are being cited by those skeptical of Amazon's ability to pull off the idea, although nobody has dared to suggest that the entire promotional campaign is a manufactured and cynical ploy with no basis in reality.

I try, I really try, not to get sucked into the horse-race element of the electoral process. But I can't help it. The Nevada results had been in for hours, and the South Carolina Republican results were still pending, and there I was, clicking "refresh" on the CNN page like a rat with an electrode implanted in its nucleus accumbens. It's just too exciting; I can't help myself.
And I'm not even a freaking Republican!
My humble observations:
- The Press is all over itself anointing St McCain after his Big Win, yet it is little mentioned that prior to today, Romney had more delegates than McCain, and after today, his lead has grown even larger.
- Oddly, though Hillary beat Obama in Nevada, Obama apparently won more delegates.
- Has any front-runner in the national polls ever crashed and burned as spectacularly as Giuliani? Just a month ago, he led in the national polls by a significant margin. After five states, he has received barely half the popular votes of fringe candidate Ron Paul.
- The degree to which the press loves McCain is matched only by the passion with which major elements of the GOP establishment hate McCain. Rush said that if McCain gets the nomination, it will "destroy the Republican party." Tom DeLay had a similar sentiment and added that McCain is unprincipled and refused to endorse McCain should he be the eventual nominee. I don't get it. McCain seems plenty conservative -- way too much for my tastes. Why the animus? (Bonus points for irony: DeLay called someone else unprincipled!)
- Strangely, this makes me more open to McCain, maybe on the theory of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend..."
- Rush has been openly supporting Romney, which is strange, given Romney's not-exactly-spotless conservative credentials. Julia at FireDogLake has an insightful and amusing explanation of why this might be the case.
- Duncan Hunter drops out of the race, and Grandpa Fred does not, surprising the 99% of the electorate who were unaware they were still running.
- So if I understand the current dynamic correctly: neo-cons hate Huckabee, evangelicals and movement conservatives hate McCain, corporate conservatives support Romney, tolerate McCain, and fear Huckabee. There's an old saw in politics, "When your opponent is drowning, you throw the sumbitch an anchor." In that spirit, I offer the timeless words of the philosopher Nelson:

South Walton County is one of the nation�s leading areas for new retirees moving in. We wondered how that fact is impacting a �Fee-Only� Investment Advisory Firm like Arbor Wealth Management.
Question: What percentage of your clients are relatively new residents?
Arbor Wealth: About one out of every four or five calls requesting a complimentary portfolio review is from a new permanent resident. We�re located right on Highway 98, near Sandestin�s main entrance, so it�s an easy drive from Rosemary Beach or 30-A, or really any part of South Walton. Our monthly seminars host lots of locals, plus guests from Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Baton Rouge, and the Midwestern states.
Question: Are newer residents comfortable working with a local investment advisor?
Arbor Wealth: I think most investors prefer an advisor nearby who is accessible. If you�re a retired physician from Memphis and you�re now down here full time, you want someone with whom you can confer face to face and on short notice, if the need arises.
Question: A relationship with an investment advisor involves trust. Does it take long to build that with a new arrival?
Arbor Wealth: No more than with a new client who is a long-time resident, really.
Question: Are new arrivals familiar with the �Fee-Only� investment advisory model?
Arbor Wealth: Yes. Many are currently working with a �Fee-Only� Firm back home and are actively seeking another �Fee-Only� relationship. �Fee-Only� firms are more common in larger urban areas, so newer residents hailing from larger cities are generally familiar with this advisory model.
Question: How does a �Fee-Only� firm like Arbor Wealth differ from a wirehouse or broker-dealer?
Arbor Wealth: In several ways. One, we don�t sell any products. Two, we don�t accept commissions from any source. We are compensated solely by our clients. Third, we have no proprietary interest in any investment. And lastly, we serve as a fiduciary to our clients. We call it a �conflict-free� investment advisory philosophy. The client never has to worry about whether the advisor is offering a course of action that is good for the advisor, but not necessarily for the client.
Also, we are discretionary asset managers, which means that after we establish the client�s goals and risk tolerance, we simply go to work on their behalf. We actively manage and monitor the portfolio.
Question: What is a fiduciary?
Arbor Wealth: A fiduciary is legally required to act in the best interest of its clients.
Question: How does a new resident become a client?
Arbor Wealth: During our complimentary consultation, we will ask to review recent statements for any accounts that the client would like considered for management. And we always ask for copies of the last two years� tax returns. We�ll discuss the client�s current financial picture and his/her goals for the near and distant future. And we always consider the tax ramifications of any security purchase or sale before taking action.
Question: How many new clients are interested in income generation?
Arbor Wealth: Many of our soon-to-be-retired or currently retired clients want to get paid from their investments. Generating income with dividends from blue chip stocks and coupon payments from bonds to create periodic, systematic income is one of our long-time specialties.

The students on campus for the Opportunities to Learn About Business (OLAB) program got a taste of real life Wednesday while working through tough negotiations with Wabash alumni and friends of the College.
The 64 rising high school seniors had to work with Wabash graduates who are businessmen and lawyers to negotiate labor deals. The exercise is part of a comprehensive, one-week program designed to give the students a well-rounded introduction to all phases of business. Students are running 13 companies all competing in the cellular device industry and on Wednesday faced a fictional strike by their employees. That's when the lawyers stepped in.
The Wabash alums take the task seriously but challenge the students with some fun as well. Specifically, the main items on the table are wage rate and employee productivity rates. But the negotiators argue for swimming pools, one brand of a soda over another, and (this year) scooters for all union employees in order to sidetrack the students from the real issues.
"I think these students are pretty bright and articulate," said Scott Benedict '98. "It's amazing to me how much real world knowledge they have for being 16-17 years old."
Benedict is a veteran of the program though he's not a lawyer. Attorney Brad Johnson is also a frequent participant and enjoys the give and take. "I've been doing this for close to a decade now and it's really inspiring to see how the kids get a real lesson in what it is like in the business world.
"It's really been fascinating to see how quickly they pick up on the idea that is a give and take and ultimately you're going to have to come to an agreement with the workforce. It's a lot of fun."
The program's tough exercises and realistic approach to business impresses newcomers each year. "I'm somewhat surprised at the sophistication of the material that is presented to the students," Briane House '79 said. "Like Brad [Johnson], I'm an attorney but I spent years in the corporate world where I had managerial responsibilities. I'm impressed high school students are getting exposure to this sort of learning opportunity.
"I've had a lot of fun interacting with students to see how they react. Our mission is to push back pretty hard and so far they're rolling with the punches reasonably well."
Eric Lindley, who was representing the Goodrich Trust which helps fund the program, also came away with a good impression. "The students get to create business-type experiences." He said. "They get good exposure in terms of a business education and what businesses think of … and the negotiating is fun. It's a good day and a good experience."
The students are on campus for the week with former OLAB students as camp counselors. Wabash sophomore Seth Gunderman was a participant and is now a second-year counselor.
"It's such a great experience," Gunderman said. "Going into college I always wanted to go to medical school and be a doctor. But after coming to OLAB, it really sparked my interest in business. I plan on going into business after college. It's one of the major reasons I decided not to go into science but to major in rhetoric and German so i can hopefully someday go into international business."
The alumni, attorney's, and businessmen challenging OLAB students were Scott Benedict '98, Eric Cavanaugh '76, Aaron Cook '06, Tim Craft '00, Rick Dennerline (Duke University '71), Briane House '79, Brad Johnson '71, Eric Lindley of the Goodrich Trust, Jon Pactor '71, Ken Siepman '87, Mark Stuaan '78, and Bob Wright '87.
The program concludes on Saturday with Commencement at 2 p.m.

Canon Pixma iP6000DThe iP6000D photo printer features the Canon Think Tank System™, an intelligent ink-management system that uses individual ink tanks for each color. You replace only the color that runs out rather than an entire, expensive, multi-color cartridge.
This is the sight that greets you when you lift the cover on the iP6000D printer. Canon's 6-color ink system consists of the usual cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks plus a photo-cyan and photo-magenta for a wider color gamut and very photo-realistic colors.
The iP6000D features the PIXMA printhead which employs Canon's FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology. It has 1,536 nozzles, 256 for black ink and 1,280 nozzles for color ink. This printhead uses Canon's exclusive advanced MicroFine Droplet Technology™, which ejects consistent prescribed-volume ink droplets (as small as 2pl) for smooth gradations, accurate skin tones and rich, vibrant colors. Not only can the user replace the individual ink tanks, you can also replace the entire print head if necessary. (Replacement print heads are available from Canon Service after it is determined that a replacement is necessary.) Epson printers require a trip to the service center when they encounter a problem as the print head is permanently mounted.
Optical ink sensors automatically monitor all ink color levels and communicate with your computer--giving you a pop-up message indicating exactly what colors are running low. You can also check the status of the ink tanks at any time using the Status Monitor of the driver as shown above. Canon's optical low ink detection system prevents wasted printouts by notifying you via the Printer Status Monitor before any ink tank becomes empty, so you'll never unexpectedly run out of ink in the middle of a job again.
A light beam shines through a prism located at the bottom of each ink tank. When there is sufficient ink, the light is detected by the sensor. When only about 20% of ink is left in any of the ink tanks, the light beam is refracted, triggering the sensor which tells the printer driver to display a low ink tank notification for that ink tank.

If you watch TV, read magazines or the newspaper, or listen to the radio, you know we are inundated by all kinds of advertisements. This is one way we hear about services, restaurants, products, events, stores or issues that are new or timely, and that can be a worthwhile service.
I get a few magazines at home � most of them have to do with food or fitness - and they are filled with ads for the latest, greatest products that I feel compelled to try. Being on the �green� side of the equation though, I do want to make the best choices that I can when it comes to being a good steward to the environment.
I am a strong believer in cleaners and detergents that are �good� for the environment, so when I just recently became aware of an EPA program to help all consumers make better choices when it comes to cleaning products, I was really happy.
There are times that vinegar, ammonia, lemon juice, baking soda and bleach just can�t get the job done � especially when trying to clean wood or carpet.
Luckily for us, through a new program called �Design for the Environment� ( DfE ), the EPA has worked with many companies to identify the �bad� chemicals and replace them with environmentally safer ones.
The culprits here are chemicals called nonylphenol exthoxycates ( NPE�s ).
�Two types of chemical ingredients that can affect the environment are surfactants and �builders.�
Surfactants, chemicals that help remove dirt, are key ingredients in all detergents, but they can be toxic to aquatic life. Surfactants that break down quickly are safer, since they are effectively neutralized in sewers and wastewater plants. Through the Safer Detergents Stewardship Initiative, the EPA helps companies voluntarily move to safer surfactants.
�Builders� change the qualities of water so detergents can work better. One builder, inorganic phosphate, is an essential nutrient for plants, but in high concentrations can be harmful to the environment, leading to problems like algae blooms and loss of oxygen in waterways. Many states and localities have banned or restricted inorganic phosphates in laundry detergents. DfE -labeled products are free of inorganic phosphate builders.
So with this information in hand, your EPA has qualified at least 2,700 products that they have deemed safe for fish and aquatic life, do not pollute the air, wastewater and leave no harmful chemicals on the land. These products are also healthy to use inside as well as outside your home and around your family and children. They have tested products that range from air conditioner coil cleaners, to all purpose cleaners, to athletic field paints, drain cleaners, dishwasher detergents, laundry detergents, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, hand soaps, wood flooring cleaners and strippers, window and glass cleaners, car care cleaners and brick/stone cleaners�and there are more!
Check the website, www.epa.gov/dfe / for updated lists and any newly confirmed companies and products. They also offer a mobile app so you can download to your smart phone and can check those products before your purchase.
Some old standby companies have joined in and chemically changed their products to be more environmentally safer to our water systems: the Clorox Company has products that have been certified under the DfE label, as well as Colgate-Palmolive, Green Works, Earth Friendly, Fuller Brush, Green Earth Technologies, Nu- Calgon and Swisher Hygiene.
There is a complete list on the website so take a look and make some changes to your purchases. These products have also been tested for their performance, and the EPA stands behind their labeling system. These products will do an excellent job and still be gentle and non- polluting to the environment.
The next time you look in the grocery store, the auto parts store, the dollar store or the pharmacy, check the label. If you see the DfE label, you know you are buying something that will do the cleaning job you need, and will be good for our water, air and land.

Dir En Grey Forced to Cancel U.S. Tour
Japanese metal band Dir En Grey were set to head out on the road in support of their latest album 'Dum Spiro Spero,' but unfortunately they have to cancel the trek due to frontman Kyo's throat condition.
After much examination of Kyo's vocal cords, his physician recommended that he not tour. As a result, Dir En Grey made the decision to withdraw their involvement in The Still Reckless Tour as well as their solo shows in March and April of this year.
The band released this statement: "To our fans as well as the other bands and staff involved in the tour we extend our sincere apologies. We ask for your understanding that this was an extremely difficult decision to make. Thank you all for your continued support, which is deeply appreciated."
"The Still Reckless Tour" also features acts Asking Alexandria, Trivium, I See Stars, Motionless in White and The Amity Affliction. For a full list of dates, go here. Even though Dir En Grey are not playing as part of this massive lineup, you can check out Loudwire's concert review and exclusive photo gallery when they made their stop in New York City during their headlining tour in 2011.

SHANGHAI: Global milk powder firms are scrutinising Chinese social media reports up to four times a day to gauge consumer reaction to a high-profile pricing probe and food safety scare that threaten their squeaky-clean image in the $14.5 billion (9.31 billion pounds) China market.
The stepped-up monitoring of microblogging site Weibo and local online forums reflects the outsized role social media plays in China, where access to information is restricted. Chatter about food safety scares spreads lightning-fast on Twitter-like Weibo, so companies are learning to keep constant tabs on their online brand reputation.
"We work with a number of clients in this sector and we've been busy, very busy, over the last couple of weeks," said a China-based senior executive at a social media analytics firm.
He asked not to be identified because the firm is currently working with industry brands including those owned by Fonterra Co-Operative Group Ltd, Danone SA and Nestle SA.
Earlier this month, five international milk powder firms and one Chinese company were fined a record $110 million after a probe into price fixing in the sector, while a botulism scare at New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra tarnished the wider reputation of imported milk powder.
Reuters analysed the frequency of Weibo posts mentioning the major infant formula brands and found that the number of posts began to increase as early as May, and then peaked at the start of August, around the time of the Fonterra botulism scare.
The earlier spikes could be explained by the spread of rumours around the milk powder price probe, which was publicly disclosed in July but had been in the works for four months. The viral nature of social media can also amplify the chatter without necessarily reflecting wider consumer thinking because a single message can be re-posted thousands of times.
Nestle, which was named in the pricing probe but escaped a fine, saw the smallest spike in online chatter about its Wyeth infant formula unit, which flattened in July and August. Mentions of Mead Johnson Nutrition Co spiked the most, peaking in June, but then returned close to normal this month.
The frequency of posts about Dumex and Abbott Laboratories, which makes brands such as Similac, remained elevated into August, suggesting the firms may have work to do to reassure consumers.
Chatter about Fonterra, which doesn't have its own-label brand in China, was little affected by the earlier price probes, but saw a sudden steep spike in August at the time of the botulism scare. In August alone, posts that mention Fonterra were five times those in January to July.
Nestle and Danone declined to comment. Mead Johnson, Wyeth and Fonterra did not respond to emailed queries.
Late last year, a Fonterra source told Reuters that social media in China was going to be a priority. Abbott said it is stepping up social media engagement worldwide.
"Our use of social media is increasing globally as we look to better understand, respond to and connect with our customers around the world," Abbott spokeswoman Kelly Morrison said.
Chinese consumers are highly sensitive to dairy safety after a scandal in 2008 involving melamine-contaminated baby milk powder. At least six babies died and thousands more fell ill.
For the international infant formula brands, the recent scandals hit a particularly sensitive spot: their reputation for safety, which was their primary edge over local rivals.
"The picture that is being painted in China is that their quality isn't that much better that local firms," said Torsten Stocker, Hong Kong-based partner at consulting firm AT Kearney.
The social data company executive said that infant formula companies had made use of online media to gauge consumer sentiment, track the spread of conversations related to their brands, and work out how to respond to the crisis.
"There was one brand which was holding out and didn't admit involvement until the very end. That made Chinese netizens angry. Other brands did better, responding quickly and getting opinion leaders to support the brand online," he said.
Consultants will now create detailed reports using the data to identify weak-spots of brands through the crisis, helping milk powder makers create tailored recovery drives, he said, adding that some firms asked for updates four times a day.
Milk powder makers are also using analysis of online Chinese retailer Taobao, owned by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, to map out demand hotspots in China's multitude of lower-tier cities where analysts predict 80 percent of sector growth.
China has more than 150 cities with a population above 1 million, and the major Western brands have yet to establish coast-to-coast distribution channels.
"Many firms are looking at Taobao, which is a good indicator because it tells you where demand is, but where the physical infrastructure hasn't yet reached," said Jeff Walters, managing director at Boston Consulting Group, which advises a number of milk powder firms in China.
Global infant formula firms in China have traditionally benefited from high prices and a domestic sector dogged by safety fears, but analysts said the recent turmoil could mark the start of a more challenging period for firms in China.
Chinese authorities are also looking to consolidate the sector and create stronger local champions, which means they will be taking on fewer but more formidable competitors.
"Now companies are going to have to get a lot smarter. They're going have to come up with the right pricing, the right brand image and focus on far better distribution," said Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group.- Reuters

Deleting a Strip
In order to totally remove a strip from your archive (except the latest which is on the index) you need to remove both the image and the html code. In order to do this you need to be able to access your comic account through an ftp program. This tutorial assumes that you know how to use your ftp software.
1. Determine which strips you want to remove. For this example, we'll use the 2006 Christmas Strip (20061225.jpg).
2. Access your account so that you can see the files in your public_html folder.
3. Go to the public_html/comic folder and delete the file 20061225.jpg (and any others you don't want).
4. Go to the public_html/d folder and delete the file 20061225.html (the html files with the same date).
5. Go to the siteadmin page and trigger a regular update if the deleted strips are recent or a full update if the deleted strips are more than two weeks old.
The reson for triggering an update is that if you don't the pages on either side of the missing comics will point into the empty gap and your readers will get a 404 error. After the update, check to make sure that the pages on either side point to each other instead of at the hole.
Dr Neo Lao wrote:@ Galbardor0: As noted above, new members are unable to get in to SiteAdmin. Not sure how much longer this will go on, but hopefully soon. Note that you do not have to access SiteAdmin to run your comic. Read up some of the tutorials linked in the paragraph above for details.
Dr Neo Lao wrote:@ All: still no new news on when the SiteAdmin will be fixed. Not what you guys wanted to hear, but just letting everyone know that we have not forgotten about you.
Dr Neo Lao wrote:@ SomethingWicked: If it is not updating for you then there might be something wrong. You should upload your comics to the workspace/comics folder. You should change/update the two templates in the workspace folder. You should not have an index.html file anywhere in the workspace section. You should not be uploading or editing files in the public_html section. You definitely should not be deleting folders. Can you be a bit more elaogarate on what you have done and what you are trying to do? In order to keep things tidy, it'd probably be a good idea to start a new thread so that you can get the full attention you need rather than being lost in this thread.
Dr Neo Lao wrote:@ BionicDance: I'm not sure I follow the question. If you upload banners and such into the CG system, then those images will only work on CG sites.
For example, if you wanted to upload your banner so that you could hot-link to it from Bob's Board and Mega Fun Forum (generic names for sites you might visit) then you would need to upload them to another image service. Normally I'd recommend PhotoBucket since that one is good but they specifically don't serve images to CG sites. There are a number of other image hosts that you can use. I recommend ImageCave, ImageShack and RipWay. All three should let you create an account, upload your images and hotlink to them from any site you care to use.
Dr Neo Lao wrote:@ LauraEss: You should still be able to log into the forum with you original forum account so long as you still have access to the email address that you originally signed up with. Just go to the forum login page and click on the "Forgot your password?" link and a new password should be sent to your email and let you use your old forum account. The bad news is that because your password changes, you still won't be able to log into SiteAdmin - but you ought to be able to use your existing forum account.

(written from a Production point of view)
Troi is captured and forced to masquerade as a Romulan intelligence officer in a plot to aid the defection of several high-ranking Romulan officials.
Summary Edit
Deanna Troi slowly awakens in a dark room, and is shocked to discover when she activates the room's light above a mirror that she has been surgically altered to appear Romulan. She doesn't know why or even where she is.
Act One Edit
A real Romulan, Sub-Commander N'Vek, suddenly enters, and immediately begins giving her instructions. He explains she is on the Imperial Romulan Warbird Khazara, but refuses to answer any more of her questions, insisting that there is no time for a full explanation. He instructs her that she must act as Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar, and she must tell the captain of this vessel, Commander Toreth, to alter course to the Kaleb sector. When Troi refuses to comply with his instructions and demands answers, he contends that her best chance of survival is to do what he says. Troi senses no deception from him through her empathic senses, so she decides to go along with his plan for now.
When Troi meets Toreth, Troi is at first demure, and fails to display the commanding assertiveness of a Tal Shiar agent. The commander soon begins to press Troi for answers, and begins to get angry. This forces Troi to also become forceful. When Toreth backs down, Troi realizes that maintaining her cover means also maintaining this harsh façade throughout the ordeal.
Act Two Edit
- "Captain's Log, stardate 46519.1. We have arrived at Research Station 75 to take on a rather unique passenger, one whose homecoming will undoubtedly be difficult."
Ensign DeSeve, a Human who had defected to the Romulan Empire, is beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-D. He is immediately placed under arrest by Riker for treason and confined to quarters. Riker demands he change out from his Romulan uniform and into civilian clothing. DeSeve insists on speaking to the captain almost immediately. Riker promises he will tell him.
When Captain Jean-Luc Picard sees him, DeSeve explains that Ambassador Spock is performing some "cowboy diplomacy," and that he wants Picard to rendezvous with a freighter in the Kaleb sector, and return its cargo to the Federation. After DeSeve explains his reasons for returning, Picard is willing to believe in his accuracy in delivering the message. He sets a course right away at warp factor eight.
Meanwhile, on the Romulan ship, N'Vek explains to Counselor Troi what is in the cargo containers: Vice-Proconsul M'ret, one of the highest-level officials in the Romulan government, and his two top aides. N'Vek explains that he is part of Spock's underground, and is attempting to create a way for many dissidents to escape. The plan is to have this warbird rendezvous with a Corvallen freighter, where she and they will be taken to Federation space. She is there, instead of another Romulan, because if something goes wrong, a Starfleet officer is their only guarantee of success.
In the meantime, Troi maintains her harsh Tal Shiar attitude. Over dinner, when Commander Toreth repeatedly attempts to flirt with notions of distaste and distrust of the intelligence service, she repeats her loyalty and service to the Romulan Empire, while critiquing the food, particularly the viinerine.
When they arrive at the freighter, Troi senses that its captain is lying when he says the cargo will be delivered. She quietly informs N'Vek of this fact, and he simply destroys the ship without orders. Toreth is furious, and demands an explanation. N'Vek explains that Major Rakal ordered him to open fire.
Act Three Edit
When pressed for an explanation, Troi does once again the only thing she can do: she threatens Toreth to justify her actions. She orders the commander to cloak and wait.
Meanwhile, the Enterprise arrives at the coordinates specified to find no ship, or any within three light years. Picard has DeSeve brought to his ready room by Worf and demands an explanation from DeSeve, who cannot provide one, but reiterates his certainty of the information. He does add, however, that the freighter is old, and its speed and range is limited.
Back on the Romulan ship, Troi engages in a heated argument with N'Vek. He justifies his actions by saying there was no alternative, and a lot of people have already died for this mission. He instructs her to go to the Federation outpost on Draken IV and use her Federation access codes to bypass the gravitic sensor net. When she explains this to Toreth, the commander is quite skeptical, and believes it is tactically unsound. Troi does the only thing she can, and pulls rank once again. Her plan will be acted upon.
Before they can go to warp and head for Draken IV, however, the Enterprise appears in the area.
Act Four Edit
Troi decides to change the plan and have the ship hold position. Toreth ignores her, and slowly begins to maneuver out of the debris field to avoid detection. Troi allows this to happen.
The Enterprise, meanwhile, has been examining the debris. It is the remains of a freighter, one like they were supposed to meet. Commander Data's analysis concludes the freighter was destroyed by Romulan weapons within the last 4.3 hours.
On the Romulan vessel, Troi is talking strategy with N'Vek. She wants to know if there is a way to allow the Enterprise to track them. N'Vek says that if there were, he wouldn't do it, because he wants to get them to a Federation base. Using more than the forcefulness of the major, furious for what he did to her, she shouts that they will now follow her plans, or she will pull rank and get him ejected into space for being a traitor. He then suggests there is a way, and has the ship's engineer, a sympathizer to the cause, misalign one of the warbird's nullifier cores.
Sure enough, the Enterprise begins to pick up a moving magnetic distortion off their port side, which reappears and disappears. DeSeve believes that it could be a Romulan ship based on his understanding of their cloaking technology and their power source: an artificial quantum singularity. A system in less-than-perfect condition could produce detectable readings. Picard has the Enterprise head for the distortion.
Toreth notices their movements, and isn't sure of their intent. She then orders a course directly under their hull; if the Enterprise moves, then they have detected the warbird, and she will attack and destroy them.
Act FiveEdit
The Enterprise detects the distortion moving towards them. Picard and DeSeve are baffled by this behavior, as Romulans only perform suicide attacks when the situation is desperate. With ninety seconds until impact, Picard concludes that they should move.
When Commander Toreth gives the order to drop cloak and fire, Troi countermands her, declaring that such an attack would be foolish. The commander stands up for her abilities, causing Troi to order her removal from the bridge. Troi explains to the otherwise loyal junior officers that their families, as well as they, will bear the punishment of refusing to follow her orders, and takes command. Toreth steps down, and N'Vek is the first to take the major's orders.
Troi suggests that they use discretion instead of a bold attack. She explains that she will offer a diplomatic solution, and destroy them after their shields are down.
When the ship de-cloaks, and Troi addresses Picard on the viewscreen, the bridge crew restrains their surprise. Once she explains the attack in basic terms, she then suggests that she be beamed over to the Enterprise to discuss the matter.
The Enterprise drops shields, and when N'Vek fires, he encodes a transporter beam inside the disruptor, and beams M'ret and his aides to the bridge. When the pilot reports that the Enterprise is undamaged, N'Vek claims that their disruptor has malfunctioned, but a suspicious Toreth investigates and discovers that the disruptor has, in fact, been deliberately sabotaged to conceal a transporter beam. The pilot tracks the beam to the cargo bay. Toreth declares that the major and N'Vek are both traitors. N'Vek points his weapon at her, but the loyal Romulan pilot vaporizes him. Toreth disarms Troi and demands to know what was in the cargo containers. When Troi refuses to answer, Toreth says they will eventually learn the truth and then execute her.
As the warbird prepares to go to warp, they drop shields and cloak the ship. Just in time, the Enterprise beams Troi aboard. Troi is welcomed back aboard by Geordi La Forge, who takes her to sickbay. The Enterprise quickly leaves the area at Warp 9.
After Doctor Beverly Crusher undoes her cosmetic surgery, Picard informs Troi that M'ret is grateful for her efforts. Troi is glad to be back, but cites N'Vek as the hero, who sacrificed himself to save her. Picard assures Troi that N'Vek's efforts will not be in vain.

- - Worf, on DeSeve, Starfleet defector to the Romulans
"I've smelled better viinerine on prison ships."
- - Troi
"Your opinion of the Tal Shiar is quite clear, Commander."
"I hope so."
"We ensure the loyalty of the people. Do you believe the Empire would be better off without our protection?"
"Protection? From what? How is the Empire threatened by the words of an old man, a devoted citizen who was merely trying to speak his mind? How did the Tal Shiar protect the Empire by dragging him, my father, out of his home in the middle of the night?"
"Clearly, your father was a traitor."
"No. He was just an idealistic old man. I never saw him again."
"I don't need your devotion, commander. Just your obedience."
"And that's all you have."
- - Troi and Toreth
"Contrary to the propaganda that your superiors would have us believe, Starfleet is neither weak nor foolish."
- - Toreth
"People blame the military for the wars that we are asked to fight, but I think it is your kind, Major, that will be the death of us all."
- - Toreth to Troi
"We're not playing it your way anymore, N'Vek! I have been kidnapped, surgically altered, put in danger! I've gone along with all your plans. Now you are going to listen to me! You find a way to let the Enterprise track us, or I will go to Toreth and tell her I've discovered you're a traitor! I'll have you ejected into space! Is that clear, Sub-Commander?!!"
- - Troi, to N'Vek
"Well, that about does it. How does it feel to have your own face back?"
"Just right. Thank you."
- - Crusher, after she restores Troi back to her original appearance
Background information Edit
Production history Edit
- Final draft script: 17 November 1992 [1]
- Premiere airdate: 8 February 1993
- First UK airdate: 11 October 1995
Story and scriptEdit
- Originally, Doctor Crusher was to be the crewmember kidnapped, but this was changed when the staff realized that Troi's empathic abilities would be more suitable for espionage. A similar The Hunt for Red October-style premise had been previously rejected before the staff convinced Rick Berman to give it a try. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Robert Hewitt Wolfe had pitched an episode featuring Q in which Q sent Picard, Data and Troi onto a Romulan starship, where they would be seen as Romulans by the crew. The pitch was used as part of "Face of the Enemy". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p 45)
- Wolfe's explained why the pitch was unsuccessful: "The reason it didn't go is the way I had them do it; there was no Romulan make-up involved, they weren't possessing their bodies. The visual gag was the same as Quantum Leap, where we would look at them and see them as themselves and maybe in a reverse shot we might see them as other people completely, but they didn't want to step on Quantum Leap's toes". (The Deep Space Log Book: A First Season Companion, p. 63)
- Naren Shankar recalled, "I wrote the first draft of the script in six days because we were really under a time crunch. I was assigned it as a free-lancer and halfway through I was brought on staff. The rewrite helped smooth out a lot of things and we had to change the ending a couple of times. The action in Act Five didn't work initially. It was harrowing but it came out well." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- The prize to be delivered to the Federation was initially a Romulan ship, but was soon changed to actual Romulans. Naren Shankar stated, "We were sitting around talking about this show and about who this important person would be that's defecting and Michael [Piller] got this look on his face and said, 'We probably can't do this, but what if the person is Spock? They're getting out and at the end they open it up and it's not Spock. The person we take out is defrosted and we ask him what happened to Spock and he says Spock didn't make it.' I look at Michael like he's crazy and he goes, 'Nah!'" (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- In the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Shankar added, "It was one of those craaaazy moments. You can't kill somebody like that offscreen!". Ultimately, however, Spock did die off-screen in the film Star Trek Beyond, due to Leonard Nimoy's real-life passing.
- Originally, Toreth was a male. Shankar remarked that he had written the dialogue while thinking of Sean Connery's character in The Hunt for Red October, and the dialogue remained unchanged when it was decided to use a female-female conflict. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- At one point, Shankar had suggested casting Joanne Linville to reprise her role as the Romulan Commander from TOS: "The Enterprise Incident". However, Linville was not available. (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Carolyn Seymour had previously played another Romulan commander, Sub-Commander Taris in "Contagion". The staff decided not to reuse Taris because it was assumed the character had been killed, although there is nothing in the episode to suggest this. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Shankar named the Romulan intelligence service, the Tal Shiar, as a homage to the tal-shaya, a Vulcan martial arts technique from TOS: "Journey to Babel". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- As noted in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, this episode marked the debut of Worf's ponytail. He would retain this look for the rest of the series, throughout his tenure on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and all four Next Generation films. Hairstylist Joy Zapata and Michael Dorn had both lobbied for the change for some time. Zapata explained, "[Worf's hair] used to remind me of a Klingon that had gone to the beauty salon; it looked like Donna Reed!".
- Set designer Richard James was responsible for creating the D'deridex-class interiors seen in this episode. He explained, "We played off of Romulans having a motif represented by certain colors. We do that for identification so that certainly the Romulans would not have everything that would look just like Earth society. For us to graphically sell the idea of it being Romulan, we need to do it well with the sets, make-up and costumes which are Romulan colors. It helps to reinforce the idea that this is Romulan territory and it was not that much of a challenge because we played off of what's been established for Romulan ships… We had rooms that we'd never been into before for the Romulans and we said what would the Romulan plates and silverware look like? You get into all of that – and even simple things like chairs, which you had to design. It's not as though you could go out to the rental store. All these factors come into play." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Shankar, however, was not pleased with the result. "What we ended up with was Romulan Pizza Kitchen. If you read my first draft, I was very specific about what the Romulan bridge should look like. I thought we were going to build an entirely new set. And the bridge I described was in an elongated room much like the nose of the Romulan ship. I wanted it to look alien and have the Commander standing at a rail in the back of the room. She always stands, there's no seat for her and the room ends with her back at the wall so there's no one behind her. The idea is they're so suspicious that the commander would never let anybody behind her. The entire cabin is forward of the command position and there's just one pilot and stations around that. To me that would have been cooler." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Scott MacDonald makes his second Star Trek appearance in this episode.
- In this episode, it is revealed that Romulan cloaking devices, when operational, leave standard defensive shields off-line. Before, it was only known that a cloaked vessel could not fire its offensive weaponry. This would be an essential element to the Enterprise crew defeating Lursa and B'Etor in the Battle of Veridian III in Star Trek Generations.
- This is the first episode in which Romulan officers wear insignia on their uniform collars.
- Deanna Troi is the second Starfleet officer to be surgically altered to appear as a Romulan but the first to be altered by Romulans to appear as one of them. The first was James T. Kirk in TOS: "The Enterprise Incident". Jean-Luc Picard and Data in TNG: "Unification I" and TNG: "Unification II" also appeared to be Romulan, but they used prosthetics rather than surgery.
- It is revealed in this episode that the Romulans use an artificial quantum singularity as a power source on their starships in the 24th century. This would explain why the warp core of the Romulan science ship featured in the episode "The Next Phase" imploded as opposed to exploded. This would also be a crucial plot point in "Timescape", later in the season.
- To date, it remains the only episode/movie to deal explicitly with Spock's reunification movement, post-"Unification II", though it is alluded to in the 2009 Star Trek film.
- A similar premise to this one was later used in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Second Skin", where Kira Nerys is surprised to find she has been surgically altered to appear Cardassian.

- Michael Chabon named this episode as his favorite Deanna Troi episode. [2]

I'm such a brutally scary stalker fan of coffee flavour, particularly Vietnamese style coffee – dark roast coffee dripping on top of a sweet and saucy thick pile of sweetened condensed milk, set over ice so it gets all melty, milky, swirly and mind-punishingly strong. Coffee ice cream, coffee glazed donuts, you name it – coffee flavour gets my goat in a good way. So when I saw this Coffee Cake recipe from my most radically food-brilliant friend Steph of I Am A Food Blog's new cookbook Easy Gourmet, I couldn't wait to give it a try!
I must gush about how cool Steph is for a second. She's the real deal, guys. I truly admire her ability to make cooking approachable, flavourful and most importantly, do-able. No frou-frou ingredients or pretension, either. It's roll your sleeves up, for-the-love-of-it, for the FLAVAH of it cooking. PLUS: girl can STYLE and PHOTOGRAPH and DESIGN til the beef-on-rice cows come home. She's as modest as Hello Kitty when it comes to her talents, but I BELIEVE in you, Steph! Not only is she bursting with talent, she's also a fellow Vancouverite, which is so great to find a fellow Vancouver blogger and food obsessor to hang out with and get some serious snack on with – I'm so happy we've become real life friends, lady! As for the cake: with a special nod to both Steph and the Momofuku empire, I added some milk crumbs with a coffee twist for some delightfully crumby, sweet and salty texture-y bits on top of the creamy-sweet billowy frosting and moist coffee flavoured cake.
Coffee Cake With Sweetened Condensed Milk Frosting + Coffee Milk Crumbs
One 9 inch cake
Coffee Cake
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 eggs, room temperature
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup dark roast coffee
- ¼ cup milk (I used 3.25%)
Sweetened Condensed Milk Frosting
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups icing sugar
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
Coffee Milk Crumbs
- ¾ cup skim milk powder
- ⅛ cup finely ground dark roast coffee beans
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Make The Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 x 2 inch round cake or 9 inch square cake pan.
- Beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the sugars and mix until completely incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the coffee and milk.
- Add a ⅓ of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined. Add 1/2 of the coffee mixture and mix well. Continue alternating
- between adding the flour and coffee mixtures, ending with flour.
- Pour batter into your cake pan and bake in a regular oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool completely on wire rack before icing.
Make The Frosting
- Beat the butter on medium until light and fluffy.
- Beat in icing sugar and when smooth, beat in condensed milk until thick, smooth and fluffy.
- Using a small offset spatula, ice the cooled cake with the frosting.
Make The Milk Crumbs
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees; line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Note: You can make the crumbs as the cake cools.
- Combine the skim milk powder, ground coffee, flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add melted butter and mix until everything clumps together.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Add a generous amount of the coffee milk crumbs to the top of your cake.
Get your plate ready for a big ol' slice! Tender coffee flavoured cake, creamy frosting and those textured coffee milk crumbs – yeah.

Insert Page Numbers in Openoffice Writer
Nothing is more frustrating than needing to change something very simple only to find yourself waste precious time figuring out where to find it or how to do it. If you want to insert page numbers into your OpenOffice Writer document you came to the right place. I'll be using OpenOffice 3.0 RC1 to explain page numbering in a few quick steps.
Step #1
First turn footers on by clicking Format — Page and select the footer tab.
Step #2
Click on the "footer on" check box.
Step #3
Now that the footer has been inserted at the bottom of the page click inside the footer.
Step #4
Click on Insert — Fields — Page Number
Finished! Page numbers will be added to every page you create now.

thanks! saved me time and effort with my essay!
March 16, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Smooth and perfect explanation. Many thanks!
(Might want to mention that you can do the same thing with headers though for completeness; and note that the step #3 image appears to be broken.)
May 6, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Thank you very much. although I don't understand why it is so freakin' complicated!!!! I spent like 20 minutes trying to figure it out before I found this. Now I'm almost too tired and frustrated to finish my seminar paper. Grrrr!
June 26, 2009 at 2:05 am
Thanks a lot
June 28, 2009 at 2:50 am
that's great, but, I want to have page numbering to all the pages, but not at the last two pages! how can i do that?!?
July 5, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Thanks for this tip. I agree with the comment above. I deeply appreciate the openoffice suite, but somethings do seem a little complicated.
July 16, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Quick and easy – thank for the help! OpenOffice is an excellent application, but like MS Word, finding little things can be difficult at times.
July 21, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Thank u so much :o)
August 27, 2009 at 5:47 pm
If you want to start the page numbering to show page 1 on the third page:
After you do the add page number stuff, Click EDIT > FIELDS
A window will open allowing you to define an OFFSET which has a default value of zero. Change the offset to -2 to start page numbering on the third page.
My Sympathy! Putting page numbers on my document has been extremely frustrating. Writer will try to play games with you, and it wins!
October 9, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! I have spent at least one hour trying to figure out how to make my page numbers start at 1 on the second page. I could not find a simple explanation ANYWHERE! Writer sometimes seems so complicated that I feel like giving up and going to my university's library to use a computer with MS Office on it (which would not be much more enjoyable).
October 16, 2009 at 4:40 am
Thanks for the excellently simple (or simply excellent) explanation. Has saved me a lot of bother and time 🙂
October 18, 2009 at 5:55 am
Thank you my friend. I was about to uninstall openoffice just because of this numbering issue.
October 22, 2009 at 9:43 am
It supplies raw material only. ,
October 26, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Thanks, I spend hours trying to find ways of puting pages in my assignment, I finaly give up and thought I will try google, here we are I have done it in seconds, a million thanks to you.
November 3, 2009 at 2:57 am
I'm so so happy to be able to fix the page no. following the instruction. However, what about not wanting the last page have page no.?
November 25, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Anybody got a clue how to begin numbering on a specific page with that page's number? I need to start the document on page 13 with number 13. Thanks for any help.
December 16, 2009 at 5:46 am
It doesn´t work for me…………..! I have spend 2 hours trying to fix this now, but it just won´t happen……….! Why doesn´t it work???????
December 17, 2009 at 4:21 pm
If you want pages without a number and then numbering in the following pages, this is what you do:
FORMAT – STYLES – FORMATTING. But it is much quicker to click the F11 key on the keyboard.
In the window that opens choose the fourth icon along the top (Page Styles). In a blank area right-click and choose 'new'.
In the new window that appears click the organizer tab. Now you have to give your page style a name. Make something up that reflects it. I called my page style 'Intro'. Type your chosen name in the first bar. In the bar beneath click the down arrow and highlight the name of your style. So 'Intro' and 'Intro'. Click OK.
Now right-click a blank area of the Styles and Formatting window and click the word 'new'. Now you are creating a page style for the pages of your document with footers and numbers.
Click the organizer tab and name the style. I named my style 'Body'. As previously, type the name in the bar and use the arrow in the bar beneath and highlight the name. 'Body'
Now click the Footer tab, click the check box and click OK.
Go to a page in your document that you want without a number. Click the F11 key. Find the name you've given the style and double-click it. The style (Intro) without a number will be applied to the entire document.
Put the cursor at the very end of the page before the page you want a number in. INSERT – MANUAL BREAK. In Style find the name of your page style with footers and numbers in. Mine was 'Body'.
Tick the 'Change Page Number' box. Put the page number you want to start with. OK. A page break will be inserted where the cursor was and the new style applied from that page on.
Put the cursor in the footer. INSERT – FIELDS – PAGE NUMBER.

how we can insert page number but start with 45 for example
February 25, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I appreciate Open office for being free but some things could be 1000 times better…I mean it would be a LOT more practical if by inserting a table of contents, Open Office also AUTOMATICALLY inserted page numbers that matched. And it isn't like it doesn't have both functions available…Serious design mistakes. Don't make easy stuff difficult and allow for flexibility. Imagine how would you like to use a function as a user and THEN implement it!
Also indentation when using numbering or bullets is bugged.
July 16, 2010 at 10:08 am
Thank You Very Much!!!!!!
July 16, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Shin, read item 21 that I put. Sorry it's a bit long but I think it should answer your question.
It seems to me OpenOffice requires you to apply styles to parts of your document and give the styles names. For example, pages without numbers; pages with numbers. F11 opens the style box.
September 1, 2010 at 5:23 am
You can start page numbering from 45 in this way:
Insert ->
->Manual Break ->
->Page Break ->
->choose Style (eg. Default)->
->tick Change Page Number->
->insert starting page number at appropriate field.
This way is not 100% nice, because you get an extra empty page, but I don't mind.
December 11, 2010 at 8:23 pm
OK if you have a manuscript that is several seperate documents (chapters) each with sequential page numbering (chapter 1 ends page 12, chapter 2 begins page 13 etc) how would you do that? In MS Word it's a simple task, with this set up it seems impossible unless you want an extra blank page. The lack of this basic facility makes OO unworkable as professional tool.
Or ham I missing something.
April 23, 2011 at 1:10 pm
I knew how to do this. I've used it. Now I can't get it to work. When I click on Insert – Fields – Page Number what I get in my footer is NOT a number (e.g., "1")but the actual words "Page Numbers", with a gray background, just like I'd have gotten if I got a numeral. It's unbelievable. I'M A PROFESSIONAL GEEK and I can't get this thing to work. Same thing with Insert – Fields – Date. I end up with gray highlighted text that says "Date (fixed)". Essentially, clicking on Insert – Fields and choosing a field to insert results in the insertion of the name of the field I'm trying to insert rather than the data. What is with this. I'm ready to go buy a copy of MS Word, as much as I like OO and can't afford to spend the money for MS.
May 31, 2011 at 12:09 am
Michael, thank you so much. I was trying to work out how to start numbering the pages from the first page forever until I decided to check out the internet and came across this page. New problem, how to get the index to correspond with the actual page numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 31, 2011 at 12:11 am
Just reread my last comment. I already figured out how to number the pages. What I wanted to do was put the number 1. on the third page and not the actual first page.
June 1, 2011 at 6:00 pm
I followed the directions on how to insert page numbers via header or footer but now the same page number is appearing on every page and I've spent the last two hours trying to fix it. Someone please help me!
I have open office 2.2
June 30, 2011 at 10:07 am
This was very usefull!!!! Thank you a tone!!!!
July 15, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Michael, thanks a bunch! Works like a charm!
August 15, 2011 at 11:55 am
I'm afraid none of the instruction on starting no 1 on p3 work for me. The fields option is greyed out so I can't change it, and if anyone can follow christine's tip i award them the nobel prize for formatting
August 22, 2011 at 6:59 pm
What if you don't want to start every chapter in your novel with page 1? I've tried to overcome it by using the Text Flow feature but all that does is give you a blank page at the start of every document which throws out the page count and turns a 450 page typescript into a 500 page one. Can anyone give me the phone number of the person who designed Open Office as I would very much like to shoot them.
September 5, 2011 at 7:35 pm
I have given up and ham getting a word processor that works. As a professional tool this is just a waste of time and the OP's instructions do not tell you how to number separate docs sequentially.
Ever wondered why this stuff is free? Yup because no one who wanted to rely on it would pay
September 10, 2011 at 10:37 pm
It seems the only option is for the numbers to be in the left hand edge of the footer/header. What if I want the numbers on the right side or center? Is that possible?
September 17, 2011 at 12:29 am
When I try to say field – page number, it doesn't actually number the pages; it just says "page number"! All the pages are connected, so if I try to erase it and put in the actual number, all the pages change.
How can I get it to just number the pages independently?
September 28, 2011 at 4:32 am
"The page number field always displays the page number for the current page. If you see the words "Page number" instead of a number, press Ctrl+F9. This shortcut key toggles OOo between displaying the field's contents (what the field is for) and the field's results (what the field creates)."

York US 30 Musclecar Madness and Cruise-In - The Days Of York
Tearin' Up The Tarmac-'60s Style
In the small town of York, Pennsylvania, about 35 miles southeast of the Carlisle Fairgrounds, an event is growing in prestige-the York US 30 Musclecar Madness and Cruise-In, held in July on a Friday and a Saturday, and the new Nostalgia Super Stock Nationals, held on Sunday at Beaver Springs Dragway in central Pennsylvania.
Held on the same weekend as Carlise's All-Chrysler Nationals, this event also celebrates horsepower, though it is open to all makes and models. The weekend offers a unique, one-time gathering of cars, some fresh from the restoration shop for this event. Though the title is Musclecar Madness, the event also hosts gassers, altereds, funny cars, and dragsters from days gone by. Not only is the show about the cars, but specialized dealers, creative displays, and numerous racing personalities from the past are there. Indeed, it was Bill Stiles-noted Mopar racer and tuner-who first put this event together with former NHRA director Darwin Doll in 2001, and the duo continues to make it grow.
Notable happenings in 2004 included a new Legion of Honor that inducted 12 individuals who influenced drag racing history and a larger-than-ever car cruise. Last year, Mopar Muscle hosted the cruise from Carlisle to this event on Saturday.
On Sunday, the action moved north to the beautiful Beaver Springs Dragway, where dozens of nostalgia racing machines made laps down the quarter-mile. Though it was a 90-minute drive from York to this facility, nobody left disappointed.
Next year, the event will stay on the same weekend: July 8-9 at York; July 10 at the dragstrip. While we understand the attraction of the Carlisle show, should you decide on a change of scenery, this is a great opportunity to relive some of the racing heritage that made Mopar cars of the musclecar era so impressive.

Open Source Ecology (OSE) is trying to create an open source alternative to all of the industry and infrastructure that a modern civilization requires.
They got a little bit closer to that goal when two high school students followed the documentation provided on their website and produced an independent copy of OSE's LifeTrac and the Power Cube that provides it with hydraulic pressure. This is D & H Tractors discussing the process.
