; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- January 01, 2013 (Rating 9.8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's stellar image, the first of the new year, continues the 
; theme of the final two images of the past year.  The image is a 
; Julia set of a point on the negative X-axis of the Z^(-4.01)+C 
; Mandeloid.  The location is very near the limit of the negative 
; point, which is broadened into a wedge.
; 
; Considering both the mathematical and artistic aspects, I rated 
; the image at a super-stellar 9.8, one of the highest ratings of 
; all time.
; 
; The parameter values are extremely critical.  The entire image 
; is lost at the slightest change.
; 
; The name "New-Year Surprise" indicates my surprise when I 
; discovered the appearance of the Julia sets of such negative 
; areas.
; 
; The very brief calculation time of 40 seconds makes today's 
; image one of the greatest calculation bargains in FOTD history.
; 
; Start the new year on the right foot by saving even this brief 
; time.  View the finished image on the official FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; And be sure to check the hi-def versions at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; All the FOTD back images are posted at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; A blanket of heavy clouds hung over Fractal Central all day 
; today.  A few passing flurries of snow amounted to nothing, 
; melting as soon as they fell, with a temperature of 36F +2C.  
; The fractal cat and not-quite-as-fractal humans had a quiet day, 
; which is the best way to start a new year.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours if it is ready.  If it 
; is not ready, it will be posted sometime later.  Until whenever, 
; take care, and I'll make my predictions for the year 2013 in 365 
; days.
