; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- December 24, 2011 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's carnival-like image is a half evaporated one in the 
; parent fractal that results when 5 parts of Z^(-1.26) are 
; combined with 1/2 part of Z^(-12.6) and (1/C) is added on each 
; iteration.  The incredible value of almost 2*(10^21) given the 
; imag(p3) parameter is the escape radius.  This value is very 
; critical for the half-and-half effect of the image.
; 
; The parent fractal is an east-west oriented string of large 
; bays with a filament shooting out northeastward from the 
; easternmost bay and terminating in a ring.  This filament is 
; surrounded by a halo of disconnected rings, with today's image 
; located in one of these rings.
; 
; The rating of an 8 might be a bit on the liberal side, 
; considering that the image is a reworking of a FOTD from a 
; couple years ago.
; 
; There is little that can be said about the name "Apparition of 
; Nothing".  But sometimes, as in today's image, nothing can be 
; something.
; 
; The calculation time of 25 seconds is a steal.
; 
; The calculated image is posted on the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; The high-definition version is available at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original FOTD site may be accessed at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; A little more sunshine and a temperature of 39F +4C made the day 
; before Christmas an improved one here at Fractal Central.  The 
; fractal cats enjoyed the sun while it was shining and took to 
; the house heat when it was not.  FL spent the day making last-
; minute preparations for tomorrow; I spent the day hoping to get 
; through it.
; 
; If all goes well, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  
; Until then, take care, and one of the first rules of debating is 
; to know your opponents' argument better than they do.
