context: How to shrink a flannel shirt
Check your shirt's care instructions.
Before trying to shrink your shirt, double check to make sure it can be washed. Make sure the flannel is made from either wool or cotton.

OPTIONS:
- If the label recommends one of these materials, do so before moving on. You will usually find the label in a common, easy to follow location.
- Wool is dryer to the skin and will only shrink shirts before getting washed. Cotton is heavier fabric that will shrink to your comfort level.
- You'll have more luck shrinking loose natural fibers, like wool or cotton. Synthetic fibers will be more difficult to shrink.

context: How to bend a note on guitar
Use bends for a unique, bluesy way to transition between notes.
Bending guitar strings are how you put personality into your notes, taking basic scales like the blues pentatonic and molding it to fit your unique musical ideas. Bends, appropriately, are a way to add " tone color " to your playing.

OPTIONS:
- They are accent notes, used for emphasis and improvisation. All of the techniques and rules here should be, to pardon the pun, bent.
- For emphasis on one particular note, bend the string to a different note. For example, bend " 4 " to the left side of a scale and " 4 " to the right.
- A bend is the sound of a string being kept in tune while it bends into position. The bend is also similar to bends on guitar strings.
- Bend notes into long, basic chord shapes like e; raise and lower the strings, at various intervals, trying to bring the note in tune. Hold finger input firmly in place at the base of the note to lock the e into place.

context: How to run 1600 m track relay
Explode from the start.
The opening of the race is incredibly important and contributes to the success of the relay. If you are the first runner in the relay, you will need to set the pace and tempo for the rest of your team.

OPTIONS:
- Aim to have a consistent pace for every mile you run. As the race progresses you will need to train side-to-side for excellent speed changes.
- Try not to make it so easy on yourself--if you are the runner, imagine running 80 miles (950 km) in one minute. You would not get how tough it would be if the event affected your entire team.
- When you begin running, there will be a seven-second timeframe where your body will not have a buildup of lactic acid, and you can take advantage of this to gain speed without getting fatigued. Blast off as fast as you possibly can and then work on gaining more momentum as you run.
- Clear the track by going over it 180 degrees. Once you have cleared the track, cross it and walk somewhere safe, like a sidewalk.
