; FOTD -- November 12, 2010 (Rating !)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a slice through the Julibrot oriented halfway 
; between the Mandelbrot and Julia directions.  It is not the one-
; and-only halfway slice.  There is no single slice.  The Julibrot 
; is four-dimensional, and today's slice is but one of an infinity 
; of slices oriented halfway between the M and J directions.
; 
; Today's image is actually the entire parent fractal of the past 
; two days' FOTD's.  With minor tweaking, I have used basically 
; the same colors on all three images.
; 
; I named the image "Deep-Blue Computer".  I think this is the 
; name of the computer than beat a grand master at chess a number 
; of years ago.  I rated the image with an exclamation mark.  
; (Called a 'bang' in the printing trade.)  I surprised myself 
; when I tried the 'real' option on the 'outside' parts.
; 
; The calculation time of 5 seconds makes whatever comes up worth 
; the effort.
; 
; But all effort may be eliminated by checking the finished image 
; on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; I usually avoid discussing politics, but today I must make an 
; exception.  While FL and I were taking a break watching the news 
; at lunch time on Thursday, they showed a 10-second clip of a 
; certain un-named congressman declaring that something must be 
; done about the country's out-of-control financial deficit.  A 
; few minutes later, when some effective but painful actions were 
; suggested, the same congressman declared that the suggestions 
; were unacceptable, unworkable and totally out of the question.  
; The resulting laugh from FL made my day.
; 
; The Thursday weather here at Fractal Central was a repeat of 
; Wednesday's, with a slight drop in temperature to 57F 14C.  The 
; fractal cats spent the afternoon basking in the sun on their 
; window shelf.  My day was quite busy but still acceptable.  The 
; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
; and does anyone know how to reduce the deficit without raising 
; taxes or cutting benefits?
