This is the correct posture for kicking into the needle and will minimize injury. Do not transform a scorpion into a needle as the way to get into the needle position. Though it may be easier for stretching, moving from a scorpion into a needle will twist and tweak your posture and balance, making injury more likely. Going from a scorpion into a needle also takes longer and shifts your balance. This is not good when you're up in the air! Aligning your shoulders and hips is essential for elegant, energized posture in the needle. Kicking off of the ground with a strong punch sweeps your leg all the way towards the back of your head. It can be difficult to do this motion at the beginning. If it is, try holding your leg out in front of you at a forty-five degree angle and let gravity help you to get enough momentum to kick the leg higher and higher. Once you've caught your leg, re-point foot and toe, and smile! Luckily you have two hands to catch this wild leg, so at first touch, grab on tight, expand your chest and drop your shoulders, and show them your smile! If you have more than a millisecond that you need to hold the needle, balance yourself, breathe, and relax into the position.

Summary: Stand perfectly straight, with shoulders and hips aligned, facing forward. Balance your weight on your supporting leg, and engage your core muscles. Kick off the ground with other leg, foot and toe pointed as soon as it leaves the ground. Catch straightened leg with both hands. Balance yourself, breathe, and deepen your position.

The leaves have a hot, peppery taste. Simply chop them up and add to the salad. The leaves make an ideal substitute for watercress. The flowers come in a range of colours from gold and orange to red. These can make a beautiful feature in a salad, with the bonus that they're edible too.

Summary: Use the leaves in a salad. Throw the flowers into the salad.

A clicker is a small plastic box that contains a strip of stiff metal. When pressed, the metal makes a distinctive "click-clack" noise. Clickers can be obtained in most pet stores. The theory behind clicker training is that the cat will learn to link a sound (click-clack) with a reward (tasty treat). The nice thing about a clicker is that it is a distinct sound which is only associated with a reward. Thus, the cat is much more likely to respond. Although you can train a cat using just words, it can be more difficult. Because you use words in everyday speech not directed at your cat, the cat probably won't pay a lot of attention to them. Furthermore, if you use a command word such as "shake," the cat will likely hear the word in other contexts and not know when it is expected to respond. Cats can be picky eaters, and a treat that one cat enjoys may be of little interest to another. Training will go faster and more easily if you determine in advance what kinds of treats your cat enjoys most. You may want to try buying a small amount of several different cat treats to try them out and see what your cat likes best. The ideal time for a clicker session is when the cat is relaxed but not asleep, and sitting near you. You can start any time when the cat is paying attention. If your cat has just woken up, it may be groggy. If this is the case, give the cat five minutes or so before you begin training. Once the cat looks alert, press the clicker and give it a treat. Repeat this several times over a period of about five minutes. Cats only have a short attention span, so don't try to continue your clicker session beyond about five minutes. Later in the day, or the next day, do another clicker session. Continue repeating these sessions regularly until your cat associates the sound of the clicker with a treat. Each cat learns at a different pace, but most will figure out the link between the clicker and the treat after two or three five-minute sessions. Be consistent, repeating the clicker session once or twice a day, every day, until the cat makes the association. You will be able to recognize when your cat has discovered the connection, because it will gaze at you expectantly and perhaps lick its lips after your press the clicker.

Summary: Obtain a clicker. Find a treat your cat enjoys. Pick a training time. Train with the clicker. Repeat the session.
