Q: Find a place where the item will be undisturbed and sheltered from any rain. An outside location in the direct sunlight is best. Allow the item to sit for a couple of days. The butter's oil will soften up and break up the stain. The salt from the butter, coupled with the sunlight, will help to lift the stain. Wash the fabric in the washing machine. Put a regular amount of laundry detergent in the washing machine and set it to use hot water. Do not include other items in the washing machine so that you don't risk any transfer of the ink to another item. If the fabric is not washable (vinyl, for example), wipe away the butter with a clean damp cloth. Apply a small amount of gentle laundry detergent to the cloth to help clean off the butter. The stain should be gone, but if there is still a trace, repeat the process of applying butter to the stain. Wash the fabric again and if the stain is gone, then proceed to dry the fabric as usual.
A: Set the fabric item in the sunlight. Check the fabric before drying.

Q: Oil based pomade is the more traditional choice, but water based is a bit more popular. The choice depends on the look you’re going for with your hair.  Oil based pomades tend to be the a bit less expensive than water based pomades. They give a much greasier and shinier look than water based, and they typically have a much stronger hold. The negative side is that oil based pomades are water insoluble, so it won’t wash out with just water. It’s also hard to get it out by washing with shampoo as well. There are degreasing shampoos available, but they might strip your hair of its natural oils. Water based pomades are much more user friendly, but a bit costlier. This type of pomade gives you a similar look to oil based pomades, but will wash out with water. Water based pomades aren’t as strong as oil based, but they will keep the hold as well as maintain flexibility to restyle throughout the day. The sheen of a pomade determines how shiny your hair will look. You can pick the style of pomade based off the look you’re going for, or you can pick one based on the type of hair you have.  A matte pomade has less shine and is best for hair that tends to get greasy quickly with pomade. A sheen pomade has much more shine and would be good for someone with dry hair. You can mix a matte pomade with a sheen pomade to create your own perfect balance. Pomades are sold in different strengths which will give your hair different amounts of hold. Research different brands of pomade to find out if they give a light, medium, or strong hold.  If you’re new to using pomade, start with one that has a light hold. This will allow you to get a feel for how to style your hair and still allow you to change the style throughout the day. Pomades that give a light hold are soft, and pomades that give a stronger hold are harder. If you have thicker hair, you might want to opt for a medium or strong hold. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations. For example, you might have a friend or sibling with a similar hair type as yours. Ask them what they use. You may need to try several different products before you find the right 1 for you. You might look for trial sizes or samples to keep the costs down.
A: Pick between oil based or water based pomade. Use a matte pomade, a sheen pomade, or a mix of the two. Decide what strength of hold you need.

Q: The less fit you are, the more slowly you will need to ease into your workout routine, but the quicker you will see gains. If you are already very fit, you will have to work extremely hard to further improve your cardiovascular fitness. Before you can determine your maximum heart rate – a key number for creating efficient workouts - you’ll need to estimate your overall fitness level. Remember to start low and go slow. You do not want to overdo your workouts initially. This prevents injury and allows your body to catch up.  Poor Shape – If you do not exercise at all, or have not exercised in the last eight weeks. Remember: it does not matter how thin you are. You can be very thin and still in poor cardiovascular condition. Average Shape – You participate in any aerobic activity – walking, running, biking, swimming, rowing, etc. – 3 times a week for 20 minutes. Good Shape – You run or walk at least 5 miles a week, and have regular training sessions that total over 1 hour a week. Your HRmax is just what it sounds like: the fastest your heart can beat while exercising. It is the baseline for determining the heart rate ranges you will want to hit while working out, and differs for different types of exercise – highest while running and lower while biking and swimming.  The traditional way to calculate your HRmax is to subtract your age from 220. However, this method can be off by as many as 20 beats per minute (bpm).  The HeartZones “best fit” formula to find your running HRmax: 210 minus 50% of your age minus 5% of your body weight (pounds) + 4 if male and 0 if female.  Or try the following formula: 217 – (.85 x age) and then add/subtract as follows: Subtract 3 beats for athletes in excellent shape under 30. Add 2 beats for a 50 year old athlete in excellent shape. Add 4 beats for athletes in excellent shape who are 55 and older. Subtract 3 beats for rowing training. Subtract 5 beats for bicycle training. There are two options for the SubMax test:  The 1 Mile Walking Test – Walk four continuous laps on a track as fast as is comfortable. During the last lap, take your pulse four times (while still walking), or use your heart rate monitor to determine your average heart rate.Then, add as follows:  +40 bpm if in poor shape. +50 bpm if in average shape. +60 bpm if in good shape.   The 3 Minute Step Test – Use an 8” step. Step up and down in a four-count sequence, alternating between right and left foot (aka up, up, down, down) for one full set. Do 20 sets per minute for 2 minutes and then a third set of 20 while monitoring your heart rate. Add as follows:  +55 bpm if in poor shape. +65 bpm if in average shape. +75 bpm if in good shape. You can have your physician supervise your test, or pay $75-100 for a test with an Exercise Test Technologist, certified by the ACSM. Or, you can do one of the following tests yourself:  800 Meter Track Test – Wearing a heart rate monitor, run 400 meters (1,000 ft) (1 lap) at 90-95% of your HRmax. For the second 400 meters, run as hard as you can. Record your maximum heart rate when you reach on the second lap.  Hill Test – Find a hill that takes about two minutes to run up, and is steep enough that you are breathing hard at the summit. Start the test about a 5 minute run from the hill. Start with a slow jog, then gradually accelerate so that you are running at 85% of your HRmax when you hit the base of the hill. Try to maintain your speed as you climb the hill. Note your highest heart rate on your way to the top of the hill.
A:
Determine your starting level in order to know how frequently and hard you can work out. Decide what kind of shape you are in. Estimate your maximum heart rate (HRmax). Test your maximum heart rate with a SubMax test. Perform a max heart rate stress test for the most accurate number.
