Article: Get a butcher to grind chuck beef for you with a 20% fat content. If you use more fat, it will just drip off the meat and cause fire flare-ups; less and the burgers will be dry. If possible, buy the meat the day you’re going to cook it. Ask the butcher to grind the meat twice, once in the coarse plate of the grinder and then through the fine plate.

Get the right meat.
Article: Decide what your song is to be about. Rather than choosing a general topic like love or the hardships of life, brainstorm specific images and ways that you might develop them into a piece of music. A focused approach will allow you to generate more conceptual material to work with. A fleshed out premise like “an uncompromising business man struggles to form a connection with his dying father” is stronger than a barebones one like “loss of a loved one.” Use your opening lines to lay out any important details that will come into play later in the song. This will provide the listener with the key elements they’ll need to make sense what they’re hearing. It will also serve to draw them in, making them want to find out what happens. Describe your main character or conflict within your first few lines to set the stage for the chorus and later verses. Start by committing your main ideas to paper, then go back and refine them later. Draw on devices like simile and metaphor to tell your story in a way that’s engaging to the listener. Don’t just explain the action—give life to it through concrete images and unexpected turns of phrase.  Take advantage of colorful “sense” words, including visuals, sounds and even scents. Vivid language is often the difference between telling the audience what’s going on and painting a picture for them. A tight rhyme scheme will keep your listener’s mind busy trying to fill in what comes next. This kind of active participation effectively gets them more involved. Take cues from your favorite songwriters and pay attention to the way they use rhyme to highlight prominent ideas and draw attention to certain lines.  Start with a simple A-B-A-B rhyming style where every two lines end in the same sound, or try out a more intricate structure like A-A-B-B.  Not every song needs to rhyme. In some compositions, a rhyme pattern will sound too sing-songy, which can lessen the impact of the music and lyrical content. Strive to write a verse that can be sung in around a minute or less. Any longer than that and you run the risk of boring your listener. Any shorter and the arrival of the chorus may be sudden and jarring.  The number of lines in your verse will depend largely on the song’s unique tempo and pacing. Recite the lyrics of the verse back to yourself (or better yet, sing it if you’ve already got a melody worked out) to get a sense of how the timing will sound in performance.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Come up with a central theme or idea. Set the scene. Use evocative language. Establish a rhyme scheme. Determine the right length.
Article: In order to install a new hard drive and back up your games to it, you'll need to mod your Xbox console. This will require an Action Replay so that you can copy files from your computer to the Xbox and an original copy of a game that can be exploited to install the custom software. The three most common games used to mod the Xbox are "Mech Assault", "007: Agent Under Fire", and "Splinter Cell". For detailed instructions on modding your Xbox, click here.  Download the exploit for the game that you are using. You can find these exploits on a variety of different Xbox modding sites. Copy the exploit files from your computer to the Xbox memory card, and then copy them from the card to the Xbox HDD. Start the exploitable game and load the save file that you copied. This will begin installing the mod software. Select the menu option to start the installation. The menu will vary depending on your exploit. You'll usually be asked to choose a new dashboard, which is a personal preference as they share functionality. The standard hard drive on the Xbox will not be large enough to store more than one game (if that). Replacing the hard drive allows you to install a massive hard drive that can fit hundreds of games. Open your Xbox and remove the old drive. You'll need a Torx 20 and a Torx 10 screwdriver in order to access the hard drive. Click here for detailed instructions on opening the Xbox case and removing the hard drive. Make sure to store the drive in case you need to use it to restore the Xbox. This is a program for your modded Xbox that can copy your game discs onto your Xbox hard drive. You can then play these backups directly from your hard drive. Some exploits may have installed this program automatically, or you can use the Slayer Auto Install tool to add it to your modded dashboard. You'll need to insert the original disc for the game that you want to backup to your hard drive. You'll find this in the "Applications" section of your Xbox's dashboard. You'll be asked to select a directory. Choose the "e:\games\" folder to store the game. DVD2Xbox will automatically create a folder for the specific game. This will likely take several minutes to complete. You'll see your newly backed up game listed here, along with any other games you've backed up. Selecting a game will launch it without the need for the disc.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Mod your original Xbox. Install a new hard drive (optional). Install DVD2Xbox. Insert the game that you want to backup. Launch DVD2Xbox. Select "Copy DVD/CD to Harddisk". Wait for the game to copy. Return to your dashboard and select the "Games" section.
