Trying to combine two 'lines' to make a 'shape'?

I've been trying for hours to combine two curves I drew with the pencil tool into a shape that I can fill with a color or gradient:
http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4155/flametests01.png
The top row has the two lines (stroked). When I move them together, I get a pleasing 'flame' shape that I want to use in a logo.
The bottom row shows what happens when the two 'lines' are 'filled', and what happens when the flame is 'filled'. I've tried all manor of grouping, merging, combining....I've lost track at this point....
I think part of my problem is that I assume the pencil tool would draw lines (or perhaps 'paths' is more accurate?)--but it seems to be drawing 'shapes'.
I've tried using the pen tool, but the curves are never as smooth as the ones I drew 'freehand'...
What should I have done / be doing differently?

Just drag-select the upper two points with the Direct Select tool and use the KBSC CmdOpt-Shift-J to unite the lines. Do the same at the bottom to complete the shape.

One does not "see" the images when selecting; You just select two file names, click OK, PhotoShop does the rest, and comes back with same message.

Combining two programs to make one

Is there an easy way for me to combine these two programs? What I am wanting to use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment amount for each loan and then list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. Use loops to prevent lists from scrolling off the screen. Here are the two programs I have so far. Any guidance is appreciated.

I lost my history due to ill-conceived hidden transient max pages, now I'm trying to combine two history files/ export history!

6 months ago I created a new firefox profile and I transfered over my key settings files like my history/bookmarks.
3 weeks ago my entire history was wiped clear when I started to use my system's pagefile due to some weird function of max_transient pages.
my goal now is to create a new profile which has both my history from january through june which I still have stored in an old archived profile, as well as my recent history of things I've been doing recently, I rely a lot on firefox's auto suggest box to remember websites.
I found this advice:
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering important data from an old profile#w_bookmarks-and-browsing-history
I followed it, I moved 7000 history entries to boomarks, then exported those bookmarks as html
now I imported those bookmarks to the new profile (I know I could've just copied the file but I wanted to test merging history's and my goal here is to merge the 3weeks of entries 7000 entries with the 6months of entries 100,000 entries)..
anyways the exported bookmarks imported successfully, but.... there's no way to convert a bookmark into a history entry!!! if I try to copy/paste from my bookmarks to my history it won't let me, paste isn't even a choice! so what was the point of all this? and why did that old question get resolved and answered in that manner?
so my question is: is there anyway to convert a bookmark into a history entry? It's very easy to convert history entries into bookmarks! all you do is copy/paste! (I'm aware going to a bookmarked site creates the history entry but that's not an option because I don't want to have to load 107,000 websites!?!!! that wouldn't be possible)
so is there anyway to merge histories? or anyway to convert bookmarks into history entries? if this isn't possible I think the answer here should be changed:
support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering important data from an old profile#w_bookmarks-and-browsing-history that answer is bad/useless if it's not possible to do the next step!
I'm willing to try using firefox sync here, but the problem is firefox sync has a limit of 25megabytes and my history file is 75megabytes for the january-june part, and the part that's just novemeber/october is ~20megabytes so I'm not sure if I could perform that sync or not

also just to clarify things I was able to merge a 20megabyte sqlite file with a 75megabyte sqlite file somehow magically using firefox sync's 25megabytes of storage and the result was somehow only 82megabytes? which I don't quite get, and It only used 23megabytes of my sync storage?
none of the entries are missing though, and the history merge is entirely live and functional, it's great! hooray! (maybe date visited type data was lost but I never cared about)
really the only thing I need from my history is to work like bookmarks that aren't as important as bookmarks in the formula which suggets url's to me when i type in 2or3 letters, anyways... all the answers out there telling people to copy history into a bookmark folder and export... don't do it! it's bad advice there is no way to convert bookmarks back into history entries... and importing 60,000bookmarks from an html file crashes firefox anyways!! (almost always)
anyways firefox sync rocks hooraaaay I can't believe that actually worked!

Combining two source fields in Import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to combine two source fields say fld1 with 5 digit and Fld2 with 3 digit so that combined fld3 of 8 digit can be mapped to a 8 digit field in destination MDM side.
Any suggestion how to do this is highly appreciated
Thanks,
-reo

Hi Reo,
I am just adding details to how to combine fields in the import manager.
To combine two or more existing partitions for a destination node steps are as follows:
1. In the appropriate source hierarchy tree, select the node whose partitions you want to combine.
2. click on the Partition Field/Value tab to make it the active tab.
3. In the appropriate Partition list, select the two or more partition items you want to combine into a single partition.
4. Click on the Combine button, or right-click on one of the items and choose Combine Partitions from the context menu.
5. MDM combines the selected partition items.
6. Now you can map this partition directly to the destination field.
But as ur requirement seems ,u do not need to set delimiter.
Hope it will help you and let me know the results. please remark .
Thanks,
Shiv Prashant Dixit

Is it possible to combine two existing iTune accounts and then cancelling one? Many thanks.

I am trying to combine two accounts that I have on iTunes (created separately over the years) so as to then delete/cancel one to only have one active account (with all of my combined purchases, etc. on this combined account).
Is this possible, or is there another way of transfering purchases to one of the accounts and then just deleting the then "empty" one?
Thanks for any advice / input

How to combine two photos in one without white border?

I am trying to combine two different photos next to each other (each 10 cm * 7.5 cm) in one of 10 cm * 15 cm and save it as a jpg file. Unfortunately when I do this in the print module (custom package) I get a file with a white border. I have set up page settings to 10*15 cm without border. How can I get a combined file without a border?

How do I connect two lines together.

I have two lines at an angle but where the corner of the angle is supposed to be there is a little triangle missing. I tried joining the two lines together but when I hit join one line goes past the other.
Before Joining:
After Joining:

There is no need to lock one of the paths, because you do not have to tediously select endpoints just to join paths. Doing so was necessary in Illustrator for most of its history, but it finally (decades behind other drawing programs) gained the ability to join paths at their nearest endpoints by just selecting the paths.
Undo (or cut) the unwanted join.
Black pointer: Select the left and right paths.
Join.
Alternativley, when drawing line art, it is not uncommon to set your default Graphic Style to use rounded endcaps. That negates the problem of the "missing triangle" (as you call it) appearance of coincident straight end caps.

Can Time Machine combine two HDs into one big one?

I know Mountain Lion added the ability to use multiple HDs simultaneously (I have done this). As it stands, it just rotates among the different HDs each time it does a backup. Is there a way to have OSX combine two HDs to make a 'virtual' bigger HD?
The reason I ask this is because my existing iMac has a 1TB internal hard drive. I have two external LaCie drives of 2 TB each that I use for Time Machine. I'm planning on getting one of the new iMacs and custom-ordering it with a 3TB internal drive. Obviously a 2TB drive won't fit, but if OSX can combine the two HDs virtually, it'll end up with a 4TB volume, right? Can it do that?

A hardware RAID is as reliable as the hardware. I believe the LaCie product you mention is a hardware RAID. I have no opinion of its reliability, and I don't know whether you can configure it as a mirrored RAID.
Maybe I should clarify. I see no reason to use a RAID for backup unless you need the space. If you need a 6 TB Time Machine volume, you have to use a RAID -- striped, not mirrored. For the safety of your data, regardless of the amount, you need redundant backups, not RAID. That is, you should have at least two independent backups, at least one of which is off site at all times.

Combining two signals for dither simulation

I am trying to combine two different simulated signals into one. When I use the
Merge Signals function, I do not appear to be getting the results I am
desiring. On the Waveform Graph it is appearing as two separate signals. How do
I combine signals to merge into one? What am I misunderstanding about the Merge Signals function?
Note: I am trying to simulate an output signal that has a dither frequency riding on top of it.
Solved!

Hi hrnsblm,
what about adding your signals?
Using basic functions instead of ExpressVIs might give greater insight of the things you are doing…

Can I combine two pdf files by using command lines?

Hi
I always need to combine two pdf files into one in my regular work
Currently, I open one of them, press ctrl+shift+I,
find another file and double click it.
It works but not so efficient since I need to do
this procedure many times everyday
So I'm looking for a better solution
Something like command lines,
for example:
acrobat.exe "combine" "doc1.pdf" "doc2.pdf"
Does acrobat have these functions or not?
Thx &

How to combine two Info provider data matained at different line items?

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement in which they want to combine the invoice line item data with the GL line item data , in which both are maintained at different line items.......
For e.g:
DSo 1:
Invoice no                Inv line item         Net price
5100000674            10                         300
5100000674            20                         400
5100000674            30                         200
5100000674            40                         100
DSO2:
Acc Doc no            Line item            GL account    Invoice number            amount

I tried Infoset, but multiple lines are generating..... as both the line items are maintained at different line items..... Please help me with some ideas and suggestions.......
Thanks for your time..............................................................................

Hi,
You should maintain the InfoObejcts (Charecteristcis) in both DSO's other wise it will disiplay # in reports.
1. While loading the data to DSO's use LOOKUPs in transformations and load teh full fledged data to DSO-2, (in sequence if it will come in second place.)
2. Check with InfoSet Innrr/Outer Joins option.
Else use FM based on both DSO's and cretae DataSourcea nd load the data to another DSO/Cube and build report on that.
Thanks
