Welcome to your nearly-nightly news diary that we leave open throughout the weekend! JanF and I are combining forces for an open news thread we hope will please all of you.  

Please comment on any of the stories in the diary or comments, or share any news stories you like from anywhere!  I tend to share lesser-known stories, and especially look for stories from original journalists w/ byline credits.  And I frequently highlight my home state of Utah.  

News stories may be added in comments throughout the day and night, so please stop back if you are inclined.

Here is a ruffly scarf I just finished knitting last night, and it needs the ends sewn down and can go live with its new owner.  



The yarn is Sashay in color Boogie, and I used 6 stitches and knit every row, keeping the ruffles all on one side.  This short row length curls into a tube when worn.  

Warm sunny photo, Arches National Park, October 2012.  Every photo I took of my kids, okay 95%, they had the sun in their eyes.
