Q: Tinted lenses filter the ultraviolet rays that come from the sun, although not as effectively as mirrored lenses. If you swim outside they can greatly improve visibility. But for daily swimmers, consider metallic lenses. Tinted goggles have less anti-fog effectiveness than metallic lenses, meaning even less visibility indoors. Mirrored metallic lenses are made with a dark tint to prevent ultraviolet light from the sun. Although tinted lenses do the same, metallic designs have higher durability and reliability. Avoid mirrored lenses if you swim at night or indoors, as they will reduce visibility. Clear lenses are ideal if you primarily swim in low-light conditions due to their lack of tint and anti-fog materials. Apply anti-fogging agents to prevent condensation. Most goggles have lenses coated with anti-fogging agents, but what suppliers don't tell you is they typically wear off fast. Invest in anti-fogging sprays if you regularly face humid conditions. Colored goggles can be used for both indoor and outdoor use to overcome unique environmental conditions that can hinder visibility. Common color choices are: Lilac colors are designed for optimal contrast against blue or green backgrounds and can be used indoors or outdoors. Amber goggles improve vision in low-light areas and decrease glare in conditions of excess light. They can be used indoors and outdoors. Blue goggles let an average amount of light in but still shield from glare in bright environments. They are suited to both indoor and outdoor use. If you wear contact lenses or glasses, you can choose prescription lenses to provide better visibility. Contact lenses can be worn with goggles, but you run the risk of water getting in them. Prescription lenses can be ordered through optometrists or swimming goggle suppliers. Contact both for quotes and prescription availability. Although you'll be limited when it comes to brands, try Speedo, Sporti, and TYR.
A: Invest in tinted lenses if you're a casual, outdoor swimmer. Purchase mirrored lenses if you're a frequent, outdoor swimmer. Wear clear lenses for indoor or early-morning swimming. Choose colored goggles for unique environmental conditions. Wear prescription lenses if you require vision correction.

Q: You'll need baby powder and crushed chalk. The chalk is an optional ingredient that is used to add color to your smoke bomb. Pick out whatever color of chalk you want the smoke to be. Use a variety of colors if you want multiple colors of smoke. Crush the chalk pieces if you haven't already done so. Be sure that the chalk is finely ground. You could grind the chalk in a food processor, or by hammering the chalk in a sealed plastic bag. Mix the chalk into the baby powder. Use about a handful of baby powder per tablespoon of chalk powder. Stir your powders until they are evenly mixed together. Experiment with different proportions of baby powder to chalk. Create multiple batches of colors. Don't feel limited to use one color for all of your bombs. Store the mixture in a tupperware container. Flip your shell in the egg container so that the hole is facing you. Carefully shake the powdered mixture into the hole. Work slowly with the powder to avoid a mess. This step above anything else requires patience and a steady hand. Don't feel discouraged if you make a mess. If it's difficult to fill, increase the size of the hole. Be careful not to create any cracks. If you find clumps in the powder, smooth them out with a fork or by using a food processor.
A: Gather the supplies. Mix the powders. Funnel the mixture into the shell.

Q: Plug in the poacher and turn on the power to begin heating it up. It shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes for the poacher to completely heat up.If you're using a microwave poacher, you can skip this step. Apply a thin coat of cooking spray to the cups to prevent the poached eggs from sticking. Then, break each egg into a bowl, and then pour the egg into an egg cup. Pour a small amount of water into any cups you're not using. Microwave temperatures will explode the yolk if it's not pierced. For best results, don't pierce the eggs more than once. Pour a small amount of water on top of each egg, then close the lid on your poacher and place it in the microwave. Run the microwave on high for 30 seconds, then check to see if the eggs are done. If they aren't, cook them for another 30 seconds and check again. Repeat this process of cooking in 30-second intervals until the eggs are white and the yolks are soft. This whole process should probably take you around 3-4 minutes, depending on how thoroughly you want the eggs to be cooked.
A: Heat up the poacher if you're using an electric cooker. Coat the egg cups with cooking spray, then break 1 egg into each cup. Pierce each egg yolk with a fork if you're using a microwave poacher. Cook the eggs in 30-second intervals if you're using a microwave.

Q: The double overhand knot is simply a thicker stopper knot and is used to keep the rope from passing through large openings or holes. It can also, however, help you create several other knots: Double Fisherman's Knot: Takes two separate ropes and ties them together with two double overhand knots. Double Overhand Noose: A more complex knot that uses the same basic theory as the double overhand, put provides an adjustable snare at the ropes end. The double overhand knot is a large stopper, but you may want even more size. To do so, simply keep moving the rope through the loop as many times as you want to make a triple, quadruple, or even bigger knot. These are simply called "multiple overhand loops."
A:
Use the double overhand knot for larger stoppers, or as part of other, more complex knots. Loop the end of the rope as many times as you want to increase the size of the stopper.
