Best Buy is offering an amazing deal on the Insignia 26-Pound Portable and Countertop Ice Maker, which has an automatic shut-off. You can save $36, and grab it for $90 with free shipping. That deal is good for all three colors too, including mint green, red, and all-white. This is a Best Buy exclusive brand, so you won’t find the deal, or ice maker, anywhere else!

The perfect summer day drink calls for ice, so you’ll need some. Available in several colors, all vibrant and appealing, the Insignia Portable and Countertop Ice Maker can be used anywhere there’s an available outlet, even outside. It does not need to be connected to a water line and instead has a built-in water tank that holds up to 2.1-quarts (or 2 liters) of water. It’s self-recycling too so it will reuse water from any melted ice to make more cubes. It produces up to 26-pounds of ice total per day, but you’ll need to empty it when it’s too full, using the included basket. It can, however, store up to 1.5-pounds of ice at a time.

It has a quick production cycle, which means it produces ice in minutes, and every six to 13 minutes after starting you’ll have a new batch. The removable basket also comes with an ice scoop, which you can use to put the ice in a glass, carafe, or jug. The entire system has an auto shut-off that ensures it will stop producing when the ice box is full, so there won’t be any overflowing!

Normally $126, Best Buy is offering the Insignia Countertop Ice Maker for $90 with free shipping. That’s $36 off, and the deal is available for all three styles or colors. Choose your favorite and go!

Elle Fanning in Predator Badlands

After the success of Prey, there's some new energy in the Predator franchise. What's even better for Predator fans, though, is that the next installment seems designed to give them something they've always wanted. Namely, a movie that follows a predator's POV.

In the first trailer for Predator: Badlands, a predator named Dek is exiled from his clan, only to meet a humanoid-looking life-form played by Elle Fanning. The two of them team up to take on something that "can't be killed," and a long the way, we get some pretty incredible looks at the homeworld of the predators.

Depending on how you look at it, golf is either one of the simplest sports or one of the most complex. The objective is very easy to wrap your head around: This ball has got to wind up in a hole that's maybe a quarter mile away. Everything that happens after that, though, is where things get interesting. Of course, people who love golf love it for a wide array of reasons. Some people love the beautiful courses, while others love the stories behind their favorite players.
