; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- May 17, 2011 (Rating 8.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; With today's image we return to that warhorse formula, the 
; MandAutoCritInZ, where we subtract 1.4 parts of Z^(1.5) from 
; Z^(3.5) before adding straight C.  This rather routine combina-
; tion creates a parent fractal resembling a violin with ears.  
; Today's image is located in a blunt valley jutting into the 
; northern ear.
; 
; A good part of the image consists of dead 'inside' stuff, 
; brought to life by the 'bof61' inside fill.  The other active 
; inside fills create different effects and are worth a try.
; 
; I named the image "String of Numbers", which is really no name 
; at all, since all fractals are strings of numbers.  But this is 
; what came to mind when I studied the image, and this will for-
; ever be its name.
; 
; The rating of an 8 might be a bit over-estimated.  That's no 
; problem.  If 8 is what I think it was worth when I rated it, 
; then 8 is what it's worth.  The extra half-point is an after-
; thought, a self-reward for the coloring.
; 
; The calculation time of 8-1/4 minutes is too long, but may be 
; avoided by viewing and enjoying the finished image on the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The discussion on the web site will often differ from the 
; version posted to the list.  I consider the web site to be more 
; an omnibus blog than a fractal forum, a blog where all topics 
; are fair game, especially science, religion, and philosophy.
; 
; High definition fans will find their dreams fulfilled at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; where today's image is posted in hi-def.
; 
; The original FOTD web site, with all images prior to November 
; 2010, is available at:
; 
;       <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Lots of clouds, only a little rain, and a temperature of 68F 
; 20C made Monday a nondescript day here at the self-proclaimed 
; Fractal Central.  After a lively tussle Sunday evening, when 
; oversized Nicholas knocked petite Cassie off the footstool, the 
; fractal cats made up for their spat Monday morning and lived 
; peacefully the rest of the day.  
; 
; The humans had another typical day, with nothing out of the 
; ordinary happening.  Unlike Lake Wobegon, where something 
; happens even when nothing happens, when nothing happens at FC, 
; there is nothing to tell.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, and that definitely is 
; something to tell.  So until then, take care, and I found a 
; Higgs particle on my desk this morning, but before I could put 
; it in a safe place, it vanished.  Once again, worldwide fame and 
; recognition have eluded me.
