Grown Ups 2 [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2013]
One of Sandler's best
Customer Rating
5.0
If you liked the first Grown Ups, then you will enjoy the sequel. In my opinion, equally as funny as the original.

Not bad
Customer Rating
4.0
Not bad for a relatively low-budget movie. Direction is good, acting is just ok. Does not compete with original Alien, but still worth the watch.

The Last Days on Mars [Blu-ray] [2013]
Very good for low budget
Customer Rating
5.0
If you liked the suspenseful plot and intense dialogue of the original Alien, you will appreciate this film. It's not nearly as polished as Alien, and the effects are noticeably second-tier, but still a very good film for low budget.

Harman Kardon - Onyx Studio Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio Speaker:Take the gift of great sound with you wherever you go with this speaker that utilizes a nearby Bluetooth-enabled laptop, tablet or phone to help you wirelessly stream music. Four powered speakers and dual passive radiators deliver rich, dynamic audio.
Class-leading sound performance
Customer Rating
5.0
After multiple trips to several stores to demo every portable speaker in the $100-$300 range, the HK Onyx Studio and the Bose Soundlink III were the clear leaders in terms of sound performance and build quality. So I purchased both and brought them home for a side-by-side test. Here's a summary of my observations (scored on 10 point scale):
Sound Quality:
HK: 10
Bose: 8
Rationale: The HK sounds better than any other portable speaker I have listened to, by a substantial margin. The Bose doesn't sound bad, but its considerably smaller size significantly limits its ability to reproduce low frequency sound (bass). The HK will also play noticeably louder than the Bose.
Battery Performance:
HK: 9
Bose: 9
Rationale: Both provided hours of operation at surprisingly loud listening levels.
Price:
HK: 6-10*
Bose: 8
Rationale: Both are relatively expensive, but the HK's MSRP is artificially high ($400). Because HK allows "sale" pricing, you can get it much cheaper than MSRP (unlike the Bose, where price is strictly controlled). If you can get the HK for $300 or less, then it's absolutely worth the price. I was fortunate enough to get mine for around $200, which makes the price a 10+!
Portability:
HK: 7
Bose: 10
Rationale: This is the strong-suit of the Bose. It is smaller, lighter, and has a shape more conducive to traveling. While the HK is also very portable, it's more awkward to carry and/or stow, and it seems more fragile (no data to prove this, just a hunch).
Features:
HK: 8
Bose: 10
Rationale: The Bose has a couple more features than the HK, such as direct connect. I didn't need them, but some might find them very useful.
Bottom Line:
Since sound quality was my highest priority and I have no plans to travel with the speaker (other than around the house & yard), the HK was the clear winner for me. Its sound quality is in a class of its own, battery life is very good, and connectivity is quick & easy. I've used it daily for about two months and continue to be impressed with its performance.
If portability is your highest priority, then I would recommend the Bose Soundlink II or III. Both are much easier to carry/pack for travel and are more ruggedly designed for the occasional impact.

how do you connect an ipod that does not transmit to this speaker
I am fairly certain that your only option for connecting to this speaker is via Bluetooth.
