Taylor Swift embraces streaming, brings full catalog to Spotify and more
jlrgdsSwifty in secret again. Lol
After breaking up in 2014, Taylor Swift and Spotify are getting back together. To celebrate her album 1989 hitting 10 million records sold and her selling 100 million total songs, today the pop singer announced she’s making her full back catalog available on all streaming services starting tonight at midnight.
Swift was already on Apple Music but now she’s opening up to Spotify… Read MoreIceland Is Beautiful Except for the 2 Million Tourists
jlrgdsUgh, makes me want to skip Iceland until the Fad dies down. I honestly thought GameOfThrones was more LordoftheRings with NewZealand.

Injustice 2: a Great Superhero Game That Beats Itself
jlrgdsInteresting article, I've not played the games, but I imagine I'd love the writing that went into it. I've heard about the backlash and irony with the direction that captain america went with Marvel Comics, I've always loved the strife between Batman and Superman. Might check out the games.

How To Make Homemade Suet Cakes To Attract Birds
jlrgdsThis is pretty cool, but I don't seeming how suet cakes are pretty cheap already. I can see us spending 10 bucks on supplies to make a large batch to make the cakes, vs. 10 bucks spent on premade suet cakes. Making them from home seems healthier too, however, sans preservatives, etc.

My son Erik installed some bird feeders for us a few years ago, and every summer we’ve really enjoyed seeing all the feathered visitors that the feeders attract to the yard! We’ve been able to see several species of finches, hummingbirds, and doves that live in the northern Utah area.
One of the bird feeders that we’ve enjoyed watching is his suet cake cage. This little boxy cage contains a “cake” made out of bird-friendly seeds and, of course, suet. Suet, which is rendered fat from sheep or cattle, makes a tasty and easily digestible snack for many species of birds. A suet cake cage in your backyard can attract many different fun-to-watch birds such as woodpeckers, wrens, robins, orioles, jays, and more!
Making your own suet cakes is easy, affordable, and they’re sure to turn your backyard into a bird-watching hot spot this summer!

Homemade Suet Cakes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb. suet or lard
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups sunflower seeds
- 1 1/2 cups millet
- 1 cup dried fruit

Directions:
Melt the suet (or lard) and peanut butter together in a pot over low heat.

Pour the melted suet and peanut butter over the sunflower seeds, millet, and dried fruit. Mix well.

Spoon the mixture into a shallow baking dish and place it in your freezer for a few hours.

When the mixture has frozen completely, use a sharp knife to cut it down into individual suet cakes.

Place a cake into a suet cake cage and hang outside.

Tips For Hanging Your Suet Cakes
Suet is similar to coconut oil in that it will start to melt when the temperature gets much over room temperature. It’s important to hang your suet cake in a shady area to keep it from melting immediately in the sun!
But if you live in a very warm area, you may want to eliminate the suet from the recipe entirely. Just sub in more peanut butter and seeds for a more solid, less melty texture for your cakes.

Review: 2017 Ford GT
jlrgdsLooks more like a lambo and less like a mustang. For half a million, I'd just as soon still "pony" up for the a lambo regardless.

Spring is here, but that doesn’t mean any of us want to do anything but binge watch TV. Netflix is bringing a bunch of its original TV shows back this month in the United States alongside tons of other new movies.
Were Those Cheerios Seeds Really So Bad? An Investigation
jlrgdsThis is the kind of story that I imagine is akin to the journalism story of the "toilet seats" story in the Dragon Tattoo books. It just sort of... escalates into something bigger.

Last month, we told you not to plant the wildflower seeds that Cheerios is giving away to help “bring back the bees,” because they seemed to include invasive species that could harm your local environment. Soon afterward, I received some emails about those seeds that pulled me into a much deeper story.
