; FOTD -- November 05, 2012 (Rating 6.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The name of today's image is "Pseudo-Symmetry".  The name refers 
; to the shape of the parent fractal, which came about when I 
; whimsically calculated the expression Z^(2.34)+C at a level 4.32 
; turns up the hyperspiral.  At first glance this figure-eight-
; shaped parent appears to have 'origin' symmetry, but a closer 
; look reveals that the symmetry is only approximate.
; 
; Today's scene is located in a valley of a larger minibrot lying 
; on a filament extending from a mis-shapen bud on the northeast 
; shore line of the northern bay of the parent.  The semi-
; symmetrical shape of the minibrot at the center of the image 
; reflects the shape of the parent.
; 
; The coloring is nothing exceptional, but with the minor math 
; interest, still earns a rating of 6-1/2.  The calculation time 
; of 2-2/3 minutes lies within the normal range.  As always, 
; calculation may be totally avoided by checking the image on the 
; FOTD web sites.
; 
; The pre-calculated image is posted on the official FOTD web site 
; at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; with hi-def variations at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The back images are available at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Today began with clouds here at Fractal Central, but in the 
; afternoon, the sun finally made a brief appearance, its first 
; since October 25.  The temperature of 45F +7C was rather chilly 
; for early November.  Fractal cat Nicholas' anticipation is 
; building as the arrival date of his new companion Callie nears.  
; She is due on November 14.  Meanwhile, the humans simply made it 
; through another day.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready.  Until whenever, 
; take care, and who are you voting against on Tuesday?
