      FOTD -- February 09, 2013 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

NEW FORMULA ALERT!

-----------------------------------------------------------

frm:FinDivBrot-3   { ; Jim Muth
z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2),
esc=(imag(p2)+16), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+1:
z=(d)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c
|z| < esc }

-----------------------------------------------------------

The new formula, FinDivBrot-3, is a minor generalization of the 
FinDivBrot-2 formula that I use often.  But this is the first 
time I have used the FinDivBrot-3 formula for an FOTD.

Today's image lies in the remains of Scepter Valley of the large 
minibrot on the main spike of its oversized parent Mandelbrot 
set, which is corrupted just beneath its surface by Z^11 
energies.

The rating of a 6 indicates an image FOTD lacking in impact, but 
it's all I could give the contrived image whose main attraction 
is an unusually symmetrical order-11 minibrot and few carefully 
tweaked color registers.

I named the image "Jewel of the Fractal", a name that promises 
more than the image delivers.  Luckily, the calculation time of 
a fireball 30 seconds will leave little time for anticipation to 
build, holding the disappointment to a minimum.

Today's finished image is posted at:

As expected, the talk of a superblizzard proved to be all hype, 
at least for the Fractal Central area, where we picked up a 
whopping 1 inch 2.5cm of slushy snow overnight.  Today was 
partly cloudy and breezy with a temperature of 30F -1C.  The 
fractal cat, who never panics when superstorms are predicted, 
had another calm day as he sought and found the warmest spots in 
the house.  The humans had a day of antiquing near Harrisburg, 
where we picked up some bargain books and CD's.  Yes they do 
still exist.

The next FOTD will be posted, who knows when.  My best guess is 
within 24 hours.  Until that mysterious 'when' arrives, take 
care, and regardless of the problem, be assured that higher 
technology will be called upon to solve it and might actually 
work for a while.
