Takeaway: Smooth take-off and flight control, FPV via smartphone app, flies fast, but has low camera res.

There is some assembly that is required out of the box but it's pretty straight forward. Note that the battery charger will not show a light while charging and shows the light when the battery is fully charged. You'll also need 4 AA batteries in the back of the remote control (not included).

To use the WiFi camera remotely with your phone, download the Syma FVP app to your mobile device. It will pair to the drone via WiFi and you should be able to see what the drone camera sees. The green lights indicate the back of the drone while the red lights indicate the front.

The drone takes off pretty smoothly and is easy to control once you get the hang of it. It can achieve high speeds so take care not to let it get away from you too quickly. The range of the controller is long and you'll likely lose sight of the drone before it loses the connection with the controller. It's also capable of doing 3D flips. The camera footage doesn't have any sound and is low resolution at 2 MP. The colors are a bit washed out and the frame rate is low enough to look a bit choppy. The footage also was somewhat blurry and out of focus with low contrast and rapidly changing white balance. The camera quality aside, the drone itself functioned well and having the first person view from the camera on the phone was pretty cool. The battery runs for 10-15 minutes of flying time.

This light is cutely egg-shaped and is made of plastic with a solid white base and a translucent white top. On the front you have the Vava logo and a small indicator LED and on the back you have the charging port hidden behind a rubber door. The unit takes about 5 hours to fully charge and the LED blinks blue quickly while charging. Once fully charged can last for up to 80 hours or about 10 consecutive nights at 8 hours each. What's nice about this night light is that once it is charged, it is portable and can be placed in different rooms and doesn't need to be near an outlet. It's also IP65 water resistant rated and is able to get wet. On the bottom

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review

Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs Review Buy it at Amazon: Silkworld Ice Silk Briefs [Affiliate Link] Takeaway: Sheer, revealing, soft and comfortable, very low profile and lightweight with enhancement bands in front. You'll receive 8 pairs of underwear in different colors: blue, orange, yellow, red, hot pink, black, white and cyan. The underwear is made from a sheer nylon spandex blend with a mesh weave. The front pouch is framed by elastic bands and stretches to accommodate larger endowments, but does require some adjustments and manual finagling; it could use some more room in general. However, the bands lift and accentuate your package for a fuller look. While there's a seam down the middle of the pouch, it's smooth and you can barely feel it. The waist band is 1" wide and stretches quite a bit. Note that the more the material stretches, the more transparent it becomes. In back, you'll get full coverage for your backside, and it will stretch to accommodate your curve
