yes..yes.. pure photoshop..please forgive me. just so not with it....though i did tell skiwillgee that a few hours rendering would do me a world of good..still couldn't get down to doing it! sigh..

to every single one out here..  thank you for being supportive..not just with bryce, but as friends. this forum is surreal. we may be oceans and countries apart.. some of us never have met..some of us have ..some of us keep in touch outside this forum..or just chatted on the phone.. but the world of bryce is magical..and we here have been caught by it, tied with its rope of light.. (been watching all the harry potter movies one after the other and lord of the rings..etc.. someone stop me...).

 So.. a huge cheers to all of us..and may we be um..er..be imprisoned by this bond until..um..er..the nano preview window becomes as large as the other window thinggybob! 

CHEERS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Early? Yeah right! You're planning on finding a case of wine to celebrate with and you just know you'll be in no fit state to wish anybody anything on New Year's Eve. :lol:

Happy New Year, Rosie!

Leave it to you, Rosie to be the first to wish all of us the best for the New Year!

Some people just seem to born gifted with an abounding supply of optimism and  encouragement, and we're lucky to have such a person as a friend who goes by the name of ROSIE! :wub:

Who says it’s too early to celebrate. There are a lot more New Years than the Gregorian Jan 1st

Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah fell on September 8-10th this year

The Romans celebrated Saturnalia between December 17th – 23rd .Saturn or Chronos is the origin of father time we see at the modern celebration. This was a holiday celebrated by sacrifices, small presents, and massive orgies. The social order was reversed and masters were expected to serve slaves at banquet. Slaves could also not be punished for normal infractions during the week.

New Year in France starts Jan 1st but ends Jan 6th.

Eastern Orthodox follows the Julian calendar. Their January 1st falls on Gregorian January 14th.

The Chinese New Year is on a lunar calendar. The year of the Tiger goes out and the Rabbit comes in February 3rd. Celebrations last 15 days.

Gung Haggis Fat Choy (Chinese New Year/ Robert Burns’s birthday) falls in Nova Scotia on Jan 30th this year. It was the only time they could book the Firehall Arts Center for the dinner.

Skhs celebrate March 14th

The Iranian and Zoroastrians celebrate the exact moment of the vernal equinox March 20th at 23:21 Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan celebrate it one day later.

England celebrated New Year on March 25th in 1600.

Babylonian New Year is the first new moon after the vernal equinox or April 6th 2011. It lasts 11days.

Tamils celebrate in mid April.

If you want to honor everyone’s cultural beliefs you have excuses to celebrate for months.

Happy New Years Everyone!

Thanks electroglyph... I've learned something new and thats how I like to start anything new...including my new year!

Because of geographics, Rosie may be the first to see the new year.  (unless there are some Aussie's or Kiwi's lurking)

Cheers everyone.  Stay safe, don't drink and drive and render like crazy in 2011.

Thanks Rosie and Happy New Year to everyone!  Before you know it 2012 will be here and we will all be enslaved by the Anunaki again.  Ain't life grand?

Good points, Electro.

Perhaps a point of interest here is that a Martian solar year is 1.881 Earth years, so you could say that I won't be celebrating for another 0.881 of an Earth year. However, here on Mars I always celebrate my new year at the alignment of Mars to Earth; that is to say, when the Earth is closest to Mars, or when my next batch of Martian Moonshine has finished distilling. When these two events coincide, I have a double celebration that often includes trashing some Mars Rover parts I've saved for the occasion.

Always a good time to celebrate is when NASA sends over another probe. If it's orbital I try to shoot it down. If it lands I have a 'Thanks For All The New Spares Day' which sees me armed with a box of tools and a crate of hooch stripping down the whatever to it's componant parts and repairing machines that have packed-up recently.

But, whenever you celebrate and for whatever reason, have a Happy New Year, because, if the Mayans are to be believed, you only have a couple of them left. ;-)

Lol @ The Bryster,

Well here's hoping we all have a great next two years then - happy new year to all.

Now that the earth calendar has change to 2011,  I just thought it may be wise to let everyone here know what Rosie's New Year's resolution is.  She resolved to be bad.  No lie, she told me that. 

Look out world!
