INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Point your left pointer and middle fingers together toward your right hand. Catch the working side of the yarn in your left ring and pinky fingers. Wrap the yarn end under and behind the top two fingers, and then around to the front, until it is looped twice around the pointer and middle fingers. Place your left hand face up and insert the hook into the hollow between the two fingers. Go under the first loop, grab the second loop, then flip the hook over until it is lying flat against the top of your hand. Twist the hook around until the hook returns to the original position. The yarn around your fingers will now act as the center loop. Stretch out your pinkie and ring fingers to expose the working yarn. Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook. Chain three (for double crochet) and then switch your hold: use your thumb and middle finger on your right hand to pinch the joint between the chains and the loop, and slide your fingers out of the loop (you can reinsert your ring finger to keep the loop taut if it helps you). Double crochet into the large loop as normal and make eight more double crochets in a line along the big loop (creating a total of ten again). Do not let go of the tail on the loop. This is very important. You should keep holding the tail in place with your finger, or secure it with tape. Holding the end of your stitch line in your right hand, pull the tail with your left hand to form the circle. You can pull it to whatever tightness suits you. Find your chain three that you made in the beginning. Find the third chain, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull the yarn through the stitch and then also through the loop on your hook. You are likely following a pattern and at this point you should follow the specifications of the pattern. In general (if you are not following a pattern), you will chain three again and stitch double crochets into the outside of the circle, usually adding a single chain every three stitches or so. The second and following rows will be different depending on what final shape you're going for and what your pattern is.

SUMMARY: Set up your yarn. Create the loop. Make your stitches. Pull the tail. Join the ends. Continue on.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Vidalia onions are a popular choice based upon their size and flavor. Sweet onions are the most popular, and red sweet onions are very common, too. Any onion, so long as it's large and fresh, will do the trick. In the case of whole onions, symmetrical is best, so one side doesn't naturally rest on its bottom, getting cooked unevenly. Remove any of the loose, dry outer skin that is thin like paper and is peeling. Inspect the next layer of the onion for any shriveling or damage, and remove if necessary. You should be able to tell when you hit the meat of the layers. To make slices, hold the onion at the root end, and place it sideways on the cutting board. Your hand and the root should be horizontal to the board. Cut the onion into thick slices, generally half an inch thick (1.3 cm).   To cut into wedges, don't cut all the way to the bottom of the onion. If you do, they'll fall apart. Wedges should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, and a good-sized onion will yield 4-6 wedges.  These are just recommendations. You can cut the onion however you like, from thick wedges to whole slices. Just know that the smaller your onions are, the more likely they'll be to fall through the grate – for small onions, you'll need equipment to keep that from happening. Add any seasonings you like, such as salt, pepper, or garlic powder, too. A list of possibilities is discussed above, but olive oil, salt, and pepper is a general standard. Make sure you get both sides! Place the onion slices directly onto the grill surface. Alternatively, use your grill basket or a tent made out of aluminum foil. Allow them to cook for approximately 3-5 minutes or until you can see black grill marks. Larger, thicker onions may take up to 7.  To make a foil tent, simply place a couple of onion slices on a piece of foil. Turn the long sides in, covering the onions, and then roll up the sides, enclosing them in. Skewers are easiest for wedges, if you're worried about them falling apart. Again, just make sure they were soaked in water before use, or they may start a fire. Allow the other side to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until you see grill marks. If you want to re-season or add more olive oil, do so now. Give the edge of one a taste test. Does it have a hint of a crunch initially, but is still soft and getting caramelized? That's exactly when you know they're done. Grilled onions make their own delicious side dish, but they're also great added to salsa, relish, baked beans, curries, and any other vegetable dish.
Summary: Select large, firm onions from your local produce supplier. Slice off the stem end of the onion and peel. Cut the onion. Brush the slices with olive oil and flavor to taste. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Turn the grilled onion slices over with your tongs. Remove the onion slices from the grill, and serve with your meal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sturdy, hardwood trees are the best for installing swings. These include oak trees, sugar maples, or ash trees. Avoid putting swings on pine trees or fruit trees. Both the tree and the individual branch need to be healthy and strong to hold a swing. Make sure that the tree is not diseased or infested with bugs. The branch should not be cracked or peeling. Never attach a swing to a dead branch. If you’re uncertain about the condition of the tree, ask an arborist to check it out for you. The branch should make an “L” shape as it extends from the tree. You will need a branch that is at least 6 feet (1.8 m) long.  The branch should not be more than 20 feet (6.1 m) off the ground. The swing will need to be at least 3–5 feet (0.91–1.52 m) away from the trunk so that it does not hit the tree. It also shouldn't, however, be near the end of the branch, where it is weakest. The branch should be very strong in the middle. The branch needs to be thick enough that it will not break under the force the swing exerts. Make sure that the branch does not get significantly narrower as it goes out from the tree.

SUMMARY:
Select a hardwood tree. Evaluate the condition of the tree and branches. Find a long branch that is parallel to the ground. Look for a branch that is at least 8 inches (200 mm) in diameter.
