INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you and your family have certain pairs of shoes you wear almost every day, a convenient way to keep them in one spot is to have a designated mat for everyday shoes. Keep it near the door or coat rack, and have family members kick off their shoes and line them up neatly so they'll always know where to find them. You could also get a shoe cubby for this purpose. Reserve it for the shoes that are worn most often, like school shoes and tennis shoes. Have a separate spot reserved for wet shoes that need to dry out. This could be a mat on a covered porch or a mat in your entryway. If you have a big collection of shoes, you'll need a second storage area for the shoes you don't wear very often. Shoe racks make it easy to organize shoes in a closet or along a bedroom wall. Choose a plastic or wooden shoe rack and group shoes by purpose, lining them up neatly and putting them away after each use. If you have an old wooden ladder, consider using it to make a unique shoe rack. Just paint the ladder to match your room, then place it sideways against a wall. Line up your shoes on the rungs of the ladder for easy storage. Another great solution is to get a wooden pallet from a home improvement store. Mount the pallet to your wall ( use a stud-finder to make sure you mount it securely with screws) and store your shoes by inserting the tips of the shoes into the slats. You might not want to use this method for your most expensive leather shoes, since it can cause creasing, but it's great for tennis shoes, flip flops and the like. If you're low on storage space, pick up an over-the-door shoe bag from the store and start using it to store your shoe in pairs. This keeps them off of the floor and organized so they don't clutter up your closet floor. If you're storing shoes that you don't plan on wearing for a month or more, it's best to store them in a box. You can store shoes in their original shoe boxes or use clear plastic containers so you'll be able to see what shoes you've stored. Old wine boxes are good substitutes for shoe boxes if you can't locate a pair's original box. Wrap the shoes in acid-free tissue paper to keep them safe during storage. You can also use silica gel to keep the materials shoes are made from fresh. You can purchase a container of silica gel from a craft store.

SUMMARY: Have a designated mat for everyday shoes. Use a shoe rack. Store shoes in door-hanging shoe bags. Put them in boxes for longer storage.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To do a squat, simply stand with your back straight, against a wall if you'd like. Your knees should be shoulder-width apart and your legs should be about 18 inches in front of you. Slowly squat by sitting down till you are level with your knees. These exercises develop the hamstrings, glutes, and quads which are the key drivers to helping you jump higher. If you feel pain at any time, stop the exercise. Build strength in these muscles by gripping a raised surface with your toes and using your calf muscles to do short dips. You can try doing calf raises with one leg at a time, both legs, or even from a seated position. The calves are another important muscle group in improving your jumping. Try holding some weight while you do this to increase the resistance and build strength. by stretching. Stretch your hamstrings and buttocks by laying on your back with one leg crossed over the other at the knee. Pull the lower leg toward you firmly and steadily. This should stretch the hamstring of the crossed leg. For another exercise, touch your toes while seated, standing, with your legs spread, and with your legs crossed. If you're not flexible you'll develop an imbalance of strength. This could limit your ability to jump. Jumps, hops, and lunges are known as plyometrics. Plyometrics are high intensity movements which increase your heart rate quickly. Endurance training can actually improve your quick twitch muscle fibers, making jumping more powerful. For a maximum exercise, try holding about one-third of the weight that you normally lift. Jump explosively and repeat it as many times as you can.

SUMMARY: Do squats. Work out your calves by doing calf raises. Improve your flexibility Continue practicing jumps and squats.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look for a circular violet icon with a movie film camera inside. These are located along scenic spots. Aim your camera directly at the icon and snap away! The icon must be inside the viewfinder to count. You'll get a confirmation message if you get the shot correctly. If the snapshot icon is too far away, you may need to zoom in for it to register, or get physically closer. The icon is not visible unless you are looking through the camera. Use the glow to help find the location of the icon when not using the camera. Move from block to block in a grid pattern to ensure that you search every possible location. Backtracking can cost you a lot of time. To take a snapshot of the Easter Basin Naval Station without triggering the five-star response, approach by boat and keep your distance, approaching just enough to allow the snapshot. You'll have an easier time finding the icons if you go at night. Between the times 00:00 and 05:00 in-game, a bright glow will appear around the snapshot icons, making it much easier to pick them out against the dark background. For an easier time, find a map of all the snapshot locations. Load the map on your phone or print it out so that you can easily reference it while playing the game.. Some websites have interactive maps that show you more information and images about the snapshot locations.

SUMMARY: Keep your eyes peeled for the Film Camera icon. Explore San Fierro in a systematic fashion. Keep a look out during the night. Search online for the Snapshot Locations Map.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Upgrade old wire hangers by making padded clothes hangers. Measure the outline of the body of a wire hanger and cut two pieces of silky material slightly larger than that. Sew the two pieces together, leaving an opening at the top, and slide the hanger inside. Stuff the inside of the material with loose cotton or pieces of foam, and sew the opening shut. Use wire clippers to cut the bottom part of the hanger in half. Bend the two bottom halves of wire down to narrow the shape (approximately 3-4 inches, or 7-10 cm, apart). Twist each wire end upwards to meet the bottom of the hanger hook, and twist the ends into a circular shape to cover the sharp points. Place shoes, toe-side up, over each circular part of the hanger to hang them easily in your closet. Start with a finished piece of wood and attach 3 to 6 screws to the board, depending on its size and your preferences, halfway in and evenly spaced. Cut the same number of wire hooks from old coat hangers using wire cutters. Using pliers, twist the end of each hook around a screw until it is firmly attached. If you wish to paint or decorate the coat rack, do so before attaching the hooks to make things easier. Be sure to attach the coat rack firmly to the wall before hanging anything on it. You can reuse wire hangers without making any modifications to them by rethinking their purpose. By hanging a hanger off a bathroom door cabinet, for instance, you can make a simple magazine or newspaper holder. You can also hang up hangers on the wall to hold a collection of eyeglasses, scarves, ties, bras, or other accessories.

SUMMARY:
Sew padded clothes hangers. Make shoe hangers. Build a coat rack. Re-purpose hangers around the house.
