 Nyko - ChargeBase for Xbox One - Black
Nyko - ChargeBase for Xbox One - Black
Wireless controllers are great, but they do have one glaring flaw — batteries. If you're gaming early and often, you're going to go through a lot of batteries and the price adds up. Say goodbye to disposable, one-shot batteries, and say hello to the Nyko ChargeBase.With two NiMH rechargeable batteries included, you can get down to the carnage of your favorite Xbox One game right away. Recharging your Xbox One controller batteries couldn't be easier — Nyko's Drop and Charge design allows you to just stick each controller right on the ChargeBase without having to remove any batteries. Since each ChargeBase has an LED light that indicates when each battery is fully charged, you don't have to worry about pulling your controller off the base too soon and short-charging your battery. Plug the ChargeBase into almost any wall outlet for quick charges, and it's small enough to conveniently fit virtually anywhere in your home. The intuitive dual port design lets you charge two controllers at once and save time on each recharge, so you can quickly get back to saving the country, sailing the high seas or exploring outer space.

What's great about it: Functional, Relatively Inexpensive
What's not so great: Occasionally the three brass colored contacts don't line up properly.
With this charging base, you'll never have to worry again about whether or not you have sufficient battery power to get through a gaming session. I recommend only a slight modification that will ensure that the contacts on the controller and the base always line up correctly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These batteries are reliable and long-lasting. I prefer to use these batteries in the remotes for all of my electronic devices.

What's great about it: Everything
I'm a great fan of monster movies - truly escapist fare. Aliens is one of the greatest of all times. The monsters are well-conceived, well-executed. Monsters don't get much more gory, gruesome, or skin-crawling than these. I daresay that twenty, thirty or forty years from now people will look back on this movie and marvel at the aliens. Plus the plot is super captivating. Who would have thought that a female would end up as the strongest, the fiercest, the most resourceful, the most determined warrior?

What's great about it: Plot and Acting
As an attorney who practices federal criminal defense law, I saw this movie as generally a very realistic portrayal of what is known as third-party cooperation or assistance in which a friend or family member of the defendant provides assistance to the government in exchange for a lesser sentence for the defendant. Obviously, this kind of cooperation is fraught with danger. But this movie also seems to suggest that imprisoning first time offenders for drug trafficking is unfair and that the war against drugs has not contributed to a decline in drug consumption or a decline in the number of drug dealers. Many thoughtful people, including many defense lawyers, would agree with these suggestions. Rock does a great job in his role as a caring and dedicated father who puts his life on the line to help his son get an earlier release from prison. He is clearly receiving more complex character roles and portraying them with great skill. The only unrealistic component of the movie was the federal prosecutor who appeared to be campaigning during her tenure as U.S. Attorney. This would not be allowed. Otherwise Snitch is an engaging and thought-provoking movie.

What's great about it: Cinematography, Plot, Acting
What's not so great: Nothing
Not only was Sinatra an epic crooner. He was also a first-class actor. Von Ryan's Express is perhaps one of his best platforms for demonstrating his skills as an actor. Further, the plot is engaging and far from predictable. Sinatra is not a one-dimensional super hero. Rather he is a complex character who is thrust into a leadership role, grows, makes tough decisions (not all of which are good), and ultimately leads a large group of soldiers to freedom at great personal sacrifice. No review of this Blu-ray would be complete if it made no mention of this movie's cinematography. This Blu-ray underscores the effective cinematography which enables the director to tell such a good story. I highly recommend this movie and this Blu-ray format to anyone who has an interest in World War II, enjoys great drama, appreciates great acting, and is mesmerized by beautiful cinematography.

Only at Best BuyMount your flat-panel TV to the wall easily with this tilting mount that features a locking mechanism for secure installation and a fingertip tilt that allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

Can this be mounted across a corner?

I suspect that it can only be mounted across a corner if you nail or otherwise attach diagonally one or more pieces of wood to the two walls that form the corner. That will give the wall mount a flat surface to which it can be attached.
