Edgematching in ArcView 3.3 combine with Append function of ArcGis 9

Edgematching is to combine multiple themes (shapefiles, feature classes, etc.) into a single file. To combine a huge size feature class in ArcView 3.3 is difficult because it will generate an error called "segment violation", thus I used the append function in ArcGis 9. First is to create a blank feature similar to the one you want to edgematch, then edit the table similar to the feature table you want to combine using ArcView. Next is to follow these steps:

ArcCatalog Method:

1. Launch ArcCatalog.

2. Access the list of ArcToolbox functions by pressing the button or using the Window > Arc Toolbox pulldown menu.

3. In the ArcToolbox list, navigate to and double-click the Append tool, found here:

Data Management Tools > General > Append

4. Drag-and-drop (or browse to) one or more input themes from ArcMap into the Input Features list.

5. Drag-and-drop (or browse to) your output theme in the Output Features text box.

6. In the Schema Type field, choose “TEST” if you want to ensure that files will only be combined if they have the same attribute fields. In this case, the destination theme will receive all features from the input themes as well as their attributes values. If your input data have different attributes than your output data, you will need to choose “NO TEST” to complete the append function.

7. Press OK.

After combining the themes, Open it in ArcView, then zoom in the edge, then connect the two lines with another line.

I love my younger sister (Japanese movie 2007)

A very taboo story about incest and love between twins (Yori and Iku). The movie starts with the twins when they were little in a field, Yori giving Iku a ring which is made of flower saying that she will be his bride. Forward years later, Yori`s (Jun Matsumoto) attitude has change, he's been different -- eager to be apart from Iku (Eikura Nana). This movie is very quiet, there are scenes that I fell sleepy because it was just them, staring, no talking, no background music.. i felt that the director don't like music at all. haha.. the last scene feels rather off because i don't think that the story was supposed to end that way..

Going Crazy Waiting (2007 Korean Movie)

Story of 4 different Korean couples heartbroken from their separation caused by compulsory military service. The boyfriends goes off to army for 24 months, and the girlfriends waiting and doing their own thing. A romantic comedy that is very heartwarming and sad as well. A nice story of love, betrayal and letting go. It's enjoyable, I like how some couple came back together and some broke up, and was based on true stories. Not what we expect, the Happy-ever-after ending. I love the ATM message, it was so sweet, such a cute and creative idea.. :) The ending was a bit rushed but all-in-all, it was a good movie.
