; 
; FOTD -- February 12, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image lies in the oversized parent fractal that results 
; when 5 parts of Z^(0.7) is subtracted from 5 parts of Z^(0.5) 
; and straight C is added.  This parent, which is squeezed inside 
; a too-small escape radius, vaguely resembles a violin standing 
; on its side edge, and is filled with features resembling those 
; in today's image.  Today's scene lies near the tip of a small 
; filament extending from a large bud on the southern side of the 
; violin.
; 
; I named the image "Prickly Star" for undisclosed reasons known 
; only to myself.
; 
; The art and math ratings are both run-of-the-mill because the 
; fractal tricks have been done so many times before.
; 
; The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough once 
; the dark and somber top edge of the image is finished and the 
; 'star' begins to unfold.  Things will go even faster by checking 
; the web sites.
; 
; Enjoy the easy life by viewing the finished image on the FOTD 
; web sites at:

; 
; After a morning low of -13F -25C the temperature soared to a 
; balmy afternoon high of 19F -7C, while the clouds thickened 
; ahead of a big snow that is expected tomorrow here at Fractal 
; Central.  The fractal cats and fractal humans spent the day 
; getting ready for whatever happens.  To me, the coming storm 
; seems over-hyped, and over-hyped things often have a way of 
; being less severe than expected, so I am not too concerned.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, come what may.  
; Until then, take care, and infinity divided by infinity equals 
; infinity . . . or does it equal the number one.
