; FOTD -- May 01, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's fractal diversion takes us to the Mandeloid fractal that 
; results when Z^(5) and Z^(3) are combined and (C) is added on 
; each iteration.  This parent fractal, which consists of two 
; large bays, resembles a peanut balanced on its butt end.  
; Neither bay appears totally critical, though the northern bay 
; comes closest.  Today's image lies in a blunt arm intruding into 
; a large bud on the northwest shore line of the northern bay.
; 
; The unusual effect was achieved by rendering the scene, which 
; contains much inside stuff, with the 'inside' set to 'bof61'.  
; But despite the effort, the result falls short of what I had 
; hoped for, and earns a rating of a double six.
; 
; The name "Close But No Prize" reflects my mild disappointment.  
; The lengthy calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes does nothing at 
; all to bring consolation.  But relief is still available on the 
; FOTD web sites.
; 
; Save time and effort by checking the web sites at:

; 
; Today brought much improved weather to Fractal Central.  The 
; partly cloudy skies and temperature of 70F 21C made things feel 
; perfect for the first day of May.  The fractal cats ignored the 
; intermittent sun and passed the day chasing each other up and 
; down the hallway.  The fractal humans enjoyed the day in a more 
; human manner.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or so.  Until next time, 
; take care, and if you believe in the force, may it be with you.
