Pokemon cards are 2 separate cards glued together, a front and a back. Remove them, and keep the back for later. Upload the file to an image editor, preferably one that can support layers, such as Paintshop pro, GIMP 2 or Photoshop. There are many image creating software that allow you to both create and edit. Some must be purchased, like Photoshop, and some are free, like GIMP. There are also websites that specifically cater to creating Pokemon imagery. If you use a website, simply follow the directions given. Search keywords like "Pokemon Card Resources" or simply use a real card as your template. Recreate the Pokemon card template using the tools of the image software. Recreate the border, edit your Pokemon picture, write text for HP, moveset, and any other things that are necessary to get an authentic look. When creating your text it is important to choose the right fonts as they appear on official cards. Search for Pokemon fonts online but keep in mind that some sites may require you to purchase their fonts. Choose a file name that's easy to remember and file type. Go to the top menu and click 'export' to export the card to a pdf and save it as a JPEG or PNG. Open the PDF file with a Word Processor (ex. Microsoft Word) and resize it to match that of an authentic card (6.3 in width and 8.8 cm in height). Once you've resized it, remember the pixels of the card that you printed, so you can make a back. Make sure to use high quality color ink for best results. You should also consider the cardboard you are going to use. White cardstock works well. Keep in mind the texture of the card. Be careful not to create jagged or slanted edges. Use the back of the card that you saved to ensure that the size matches up. Glue it to the back of an existing card for rigidity. Apply a transparent tape on the cards to give it a glossy feel Glue it on with a strong glue such as rubber cement. Use the back of an existing card that you preferably do not care for such as a weak double.

Summary: Separate an authentic Pokemon card. Scan a real card to create an image file. Download an image creating software. Obtain all of the components of a real Pokemon card and combine them using the software. Edit your text. Save your work! Resize your image. Print out the card. Cut it to the precise shape and glue on the back of the card.

The most popular form of traditional Western astrology is sun sign astrology, the kind found in the horoscopes of many daily newspapers. If it were indeed accurate, its predictive value would be extremely high but, historically, that has not been the case, for societies following it would be using it in powerful ways, consistently, as that would be the true test. A horoscope is an astrological forecast. The term is also used to describe a map of the zodiac at the time of one's birth. The zodiac is divided into twelve zones of the sky, each named after the constellation that originally fell within its zone (Taurus, Leo, etc.). The apparent paths of the sun, the moon, and the major planets all fall within the zodiac. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the equinox and solstice points have each moved westward about 30 degrees in the last 2,000 years. Thus, the zodiacal constellations named in ancient times no longer correspond to the segments of the zodiac represented by their signs. In short, had you been born at the same time on the same day of the year 2,000 years ago, you would have been born under a different sign. In fact, there should be 13 signs, not 12. It is this fact of precession which has altered the very constellations from which masses "derive" their charts. Precession of the equinox is caused by the fact that the axis of the earth's rotation (which causes day and night) and the axis of the earth's revolution around the sun (which marks the passage of each year) are not parallel. They are 23 l/2 degrees away from lining up; that is, the earth's axis of rotation is tilted. This tilt also causes our seasons, a fact that Ptolemy did understand but that many people do not understand even today. Ptolemy understood that the rotation axis of the earth was slowly processing, or moving in a circle, with an angular radius of 23 1/2 degrees with a period of around 26,000 years. He deduced this from comparisons of data taken by the ancient Sumerians 2,000 years before his time. He did not understand what was pushing the precession, but he did understand the motion. We now realize that the sun is rotating with a period of around 30 days and that this causes the sun to bulge at the equator, which causes a torque to be exerted on the top like motion of the earth's day and night cycle. There is also a small 18.6-year variation caused by the moon's orbit around the earth, and the moon also has a small effect on precession; however, the sun's equatorial bulge is the main cause of the precession of the equinox, which is why your sign listed in the newspaper, by Sydney Omar for instance, in most cases is removed by one sign from the modern, actual position of the sun at your birth.

Summary: Know a little bit about sun sign astrology. Examine the following:

These will form the main shape of the nest, and are much easier to work with than hard, short twigs. You can use straw, long grass, vines, willow fronds, bendy reeds, or seagrass found outdoors or at a garden supply store. Raffia is another good option, obtainable from a craft supply store. If Mexican feather grass grows in your area, grab a clump of it and pull your hand upward to remove a handful of hairy seeds clinging together. Once you have enough seeds, clump them into a ball and make a nest shape by sticking your thumb into it.
Summary: Find long, flexible plant stems.
