What is the best way to create this image?

Hi, I'm using Illustrator CS5 and I'm sure there is a pretty easy way to create this image with some copy/repeat steps... However I can't seem to figure it out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Ace,
You may:
1) Create the circle,
2) Create  a triangle from a square by deleting the bottom right Anchor Point (Delete Anchor Point Tool),
3) Place the triangle for the cutout just to the left of the top of the circle (where the angles fit),
4) Rotate 8 copies round the centre of the circle (you may use the Effect route but you will need the real paths),
5) Select the trangles and the circle and apply Minus Front (or whatever the Pathfinder command is called in your version.

  • What's the best way to create disk images?

    of 300GB  hard drives or partitions?
    Disk utility is failing for me with an input/output error.
    A typical example:
    I have a new HFS+ 500GB external FW 800 drive that I am using a destination.
    I will boot from my original 'install' DVD and then open up disk utility to start the disk image creation.
    Note: my source is my "Macintosh HD" partition that is around 300GB.
    Everything looks like it is running well, then a couple hours into it, it fails... something like:
    "cannot create img.. blah input/output error".
    Note: Verify Disk shows no errors on the source.
    One guess is that the img creation process is failing after I leave the computer and perhaps my computer falls asleep. I tried setting the 'Energy Saver' prefs in the systems prefs, but of course, since I'm running off the install DVD, I wasn't able to get into the prefs.
    Anyway, ultimately, I need to create periodic disk images of my macs.. so what are people using to do this?
    Thanks for the comments!

    Eric, Carbon Copy Cloner is what I was leaning towards. The owner says his guess is that there are bad blocks on my HD, and since Disk Utility is block based, that it is failing where CCC is file based, and will just skip files that are corrupted or that it can't copy.
    I guess I'll roll with that for now.. but it would be nice if the Disk Utility logs spit out a more descriptive log.. instead of "could not create disk image, input/output error".
    Thanks!

  • What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

    I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
    I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
    single month and year.
    I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
    how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
    practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
    able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
    For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
    resultset on two fields:
    Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
    End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
    leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
    Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
    start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
    AND
    end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
    selected)
    Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
    how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
    John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
    Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
    Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
    Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
    August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
    Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
    this:
    Patient Name              
    Months Assigned
    John Doe
    June 2012
    John Doe                     
    July012
    John Doe                     
    Aug 2012
    John Doe                     
    Sept 2012
    John Doe
    Oct 2012
    Sally Doe                     
    Aug 2012
    Sally Doe                     
    Sept 2012
    Sally Doe
    Oct 2012
    Sally Doe                     
    Nov 2012
    Sally Doe
    Dec 2012
    Jimmy Doe                  
    July 2012
    Jimmy Doe
    Aug 2012
    Jimmy Doe
    Sept 2012
    From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
    June 2012 - 1
    July 2012 – 2
    Aug 2012 - 3
    Sept 2012 - 3
    Oct 2012 - 2
    Nov 2012 - 1
    Dec 2012 - 1
    The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
    be the y axis).
    Does this sound like the best approach?
    If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
    I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
    I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
    Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
    Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want. 
    Doing a cross  join between my original resultset that had two dates:
    08/27/2010
    10/24/2011
    and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
    my new resultset looks like this:
    I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
    You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
    the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • What is the best way of creating admin-only parameters for a java iView?

    Hi,
    I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers...
    The scenario is as follows: I have created an Org Chart maintenance application that generates and renders xml&xsl-based Org Charts. This is the maintenance iView.
    I am creating a second iView that points to each org chart(the 'Viewer' iView). This iView will be re-used many times, for different parts of our organisation. My problem is I want the portal administrator to be able to set the specific Org Chart that each instance of the 'viewer' iView points to. This needs to be editable as a configurable property.
    I imagine that this is accomplished through the use of properties, what is the best way to accomplish this?
    Many thanks,
    Mark Hockings

    I believe that you should be able to specify the 'personalization' property to be no-dialog. This doesn't allow users to be able to change the property, but can be changed when creating the iView definition
    I hope this helps

  • HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

    I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

    What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
    i have  a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
    There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
    Taking my C# further

    Hi Saythj,
    When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
    XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
    Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
    many generating tools online to do that.
    Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
    CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
    Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
    If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

  • What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

    There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
    The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and  create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
    But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

    I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
    - so that I do
    remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
    body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
    the imbedded
    styles on your page.
    In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
    behind the
    header image.

    I can see the header image stretching right across the page..

  • What is the best way to create a Flash site

    Hello Everyone,
    I am realtively new to flash. I created the splash page of
    our site in flash but 1st off it takes to long to load as it is.
    But I would like to create the entire site in Flash. What is the
    best way to create a Flash site, and are there tutorials out there
    or any really good books, resources, or online classes to learn
    Flash well. I understand the basic of flash and have created
    banners, and other flash materials.
    Can anyone help?

    For me, as a noob, It's all about creative problem solving.
    For lots of stuff, there's no right or wrong solution, but you have
    to figure things out on your own. I, too, have built sites from the
    ground up, and then rebuilt them even better. It's the only way to
    really learn it well. Books, online forums, help docs all sort of
    help, but it all comes down to how innovative you can be with
    integrating them all into a site that is completely yours.
    This might save you loads of headaches: avoid using scenes,
    unless you are doing only animation. Keep each of your 'pages' on
    their own keyframe, and use 'gotoAndStop' to navigate through them.
    This is perhaps the easiest way to create a website quickly.

  • What is the best way to create 10000 users in ECC system

    Dear all,
    what is the best way to create 10,000 users in ECC 6 system.
    As of my knowledge we can create with SECATT, but I don't know the procedure to use this.
    please guide me...
    Regards,
    Raaja

    Hi Raaja,
    If you search in SDN or on google for eCATT tutorial, you will get all the info you need to learn to create them.
    For 10000 users I would suggest the following
    1. eCATT to create user ID's (include all the info like passwords, user groups in here).
    2. eCATT to make the role assignment.  Use SU10 to record the assignment to the users you created with the first script as it gives you more flexibility
    If you have the data you need then you should be able to run both steps in 1 work day (dependent on system performance).

    Hi,
    I need to change local password of an account on a number of our domain based machines. Or create the user if it doesn't exist.
    We have over 200 machines so this will need to be done as a bulk job.
    I've looked into doing this by GPO Preferences, but it appears that MS have removed this functionality with a hotfix.
    What's the best way of doing this now, as I would have through that this is a feature that most organisations would require.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I understand you. However, based on my understanding, from the standpoint of security, Microsoft has chosen to deprecate this function, for it’s not secure to set passwords
    in Group Policy Preferences.

  • What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits

    What's the best way to create basic scrolling up end credits with FCE. I want create normal look after the film that has a gap between the working title and the name (center-aligned, two-column
    scrolls)
    In the FCE Manual there was a good way to to do it with an asterisk (*) between the the words, but problem occurs when I had an umlaut (ÄÖ) in the word. The asterisk becomes visible and as many umlauts in the working title so many letters missing from the beginning of the name. I'm from Finland and we have lots of umlauts. So is there any other way to do this with FCE.

    You can use Title Crawl in Boris to do this. You set it up like a word processor with a right aligned tab, a gap and then a left aligned tab. Double click in the ruler to create a tab stop. Double click it again to change its alignment. You use the tab key to move between the stops. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you play with it, I think you'll get it.
    There is also Boris documentation on the install disc which will explain it more fully.
