I'd just put the day that begins at sunrise. With my calendar, the problem is that the Terra Novan day is longer than Earth's day, 25 hours, 52 minutes, 7 seconds to be exact. So, for my entry, I put the date and time that midnight of the date (GMT) corresponds to. For instance, January 1, 2000 = March 13, 809; 17:50 (East Landing Time Zone). Incidentally, the calendar was set up so that Landing was 1001, in order that pre-Landing events could be easily retrodated. -- "Old linguists never die - they just come to voiceless stops." - anonymous http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
