HARD TIME: THE LIFE OF AN INCORRIGIBLE ON ALCATRAZ
The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186 one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary.

"My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America's Top Crime School- Charlie was a better student than I- He's still free " -James "Whitey" Bulger, #1428 AZ


What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the 1500 or so hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? Even if one could do such an impossible thing, what exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger. Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz. Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz but he was well acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson and the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates. Early in his prison career Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger. Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. This is his true story as told in 1999 to author Don DeNevi and recently reviewed by him to ensure maximum historical accuracy. Mr. Hopkins is still alive and is approaching 88 years old and is estimated to be one of the last 5 or 6 remaining inmates that served Hard Time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have read or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this.

Great Looking and Sturdy Monitor Arms
Color: White-Mount, Color: White-Mount
I'm so impressed with these arms. They're super strong and sturdy holding up my 27" monitor and 34" ultrawide monitor. Setting up for the most part is pretty simple and easy. One of the best things I like about these arms is the cable management. I had several arms before for my setup at home and work, and the cable covers are usually pretty flimsy and just slide and lock in. I have a lot DP and HDMI cables due to my dual workstation, so these cable covers often end up popping out since its so full. These cable covers are different since they are screwed down tight with a bolt. All my cables fit pretty snug, but there is no bulging and I don't have to worry about the covers popping off ever again. I'd recommend keeping it at a maximum of 4 thicker cables though. However, fair warning that attaching the covers can be a pain so if you have to detach cables often, the screwed in covers can be a problem. If you have a set up like mine that won't really change often, it works well. If you can, I would suggest having 2 people set up the cable management. One to hold down the cover in place and the other to screw it in. I did it myself just fine though. The range of motion is great for my needs, but please note that I tried stacking my monitors and it didn't quite work. I would say it's 1 to 2 inches shy of properly stacking them. Overall, a great looking set of dual monitor arms. The extra ports on the base are a cool feature that do work, but I haven't had much use of it yet. Love that they had a white option to match my set up too. These are a little pricey, but they're really worth it!

You will be hard pressed to find an equal or better product regardless of the price.

Review of AVLT Dual 13"-35" Monitor Arm Desk Mount I do not usually rate items, except for products that are exceptional or are provided by a vendor that is above all others. I looked at this item several times, because the price was $100 less than my five year old dual arm could not raise the 38” monitor more that 8” from the desk surface and barely keep my wiring hidden. Finally, the website for AVLT convinced me to place the order for the AVLT-DM41-1, Dual 13"-35" Monitor Arm Desk Mount. I was not disappointed. The quality and finish of the aluminum mount is space age quality, the manual acceptable (ilea type); most important the I can raise my 38” monitor to a perfect ergonomic height. My monitors are a Dell 38” U3818DW, (larger than 13” to 35” range) and a Dell 24” U2412M, U. for each I use the factory power cable, DP to DP display port 6 foot cables and high speed USB 3 cables for each monitor. The assembly went without a hitch, no problem hiding the heavy cables that I use, my only problem was that my was not a C-clamp, attaching the hex bolts to the base from the underside of my desk was difficult; t would had been easier had they used a stud bolts to clamp the unit down. The arm springs had no problem supporting my 38” monito, the unit is so sturdy I expect to receive years of service. I strongly recommend this item because of value, quality and design. You will be hard pressed to find an equal or better product regardless of the price.

Great product
Color: White-Mount
Amazing product. It’s perfect. Tried a few other dual monitor arms and they sucked and didn’t hold up the monitors. This one is amazing and aesthetically pleasing. Well worth the money. All parts included. Large range of motion, you just have to loosen the screws to make it easier to move or tighten to keep everything still. Perfect size and provides all my amount of desk space back.

Smooth, immersive gameplay at 240Hz – Great curved monitor!
Style: FHD 240Hz, Size: 27-inch
This monitor exceeded my expectations. The 240Hz refresh rate makes a huge difference for gaming—everything feels incredibly smooth and responsive. The 1500R curved screen adds a real sense of immersion, especially in racing and FPS games. Picture quality is great thanks to the VA panel. You get deep blacks, strong contrast, and wide viewing angles. The 1ms response time and Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync) keep things sharp with no screen tearing. Build quality is solid, and the adjustable stand (height, tilt, and swivel) is a big plus. I also appreciate the VESA compatibility and the fact that it comes with an HDMI cable included. If you’re a gamer looking for speed and immersion, this monitor is definitely worth it. The Full HD resolution is fine for gaming, but might not be ideal for serious productivity or photo editing. Highly recommended for smooth, immersive gaming at a great value!
