I want ; to get as far ahead as possible in my regular work in case a ; power failure happens. Power failures are the one predicted ; thing that usually does happen here at F.C. when the weather ; acts up. As for that weather, it is not looking too bad. We ; can survive 35 to 40mph winds with gusts over 50mph (80kph), and ; 3 inches (7.5cm) of rain. The threat of tornadoes has been ; removed from the local forecast, though it still exists for ; areas well south and east of here. ; ; For today's image I turned to the manzpower formula and the ; Mandeloid that results when the formula Z^(2.002)+C is iterated. ; I went to the area just east of the largest midget and examined ; the rail-like chaos that lies between the two main branches of ; the negative stem, which has split into fragments. ; ; Midgets are very numerous in this area, though they all look ; pretty much the same. I named today's image "Image of ; Staghorns". At one time, the image reminded me of staghorns, ; or stagantlers, (but 'horns' sounds better). I can no longer ; see much of a resemblance, but the name remains. ; ; Since the image is a routine one, found and colored with almost ; no effort, I could rate it only a 5. But it is very fast, and ; worth the two minutes required to render it from the parameter ; file. ; ; Those who would rather not render may download the finished GIF ; image from the internet at: ; ; ; ; or at: ; ; ; ; Perfect weather here at Fractal Central once again produced ; perfect cats on Wednesday. Sunny skies, light winds, and a ; temperature of 79F 26C kept them so happy that their customary ; evening treat of tuna was not needed. Today however is starting ; far more threatening, with leaden skies, winds already picking ; up, and a tropical storm on the way. To see how the dynamic duo ; pulls through the mini-tempest, check back here tomorrow. As ; for me, I have finished all the preparations I am going to make, ; which involved 5-minutes of work to take in the lawn furniture. ; So until next time, take care, and I see no cause for alarm. ; (Of course, I could always be wrong.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Image_of_Staghorns { ; time=0:02:07.65--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=manzpower passes=1 center-mag=-1.6\ 71974101237228/+0.00065516117700869/700556.1/1/-87\ .5/2.35157879280301074e-010 params=0/0/2.002/0 float=y maxiter=600 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=49 periodicity=10 colors=00078S8AV8BX8D_9Ea9Gd9IgAJiA\ LlAMnBOqBPsBRvBSxBLlBEaB7RB1GI2OP2WW3cb3ki3rj6nj9j\ jCgjEcjH_jKXjMTkPPkSMkVIkXEk_Bkb7kd4ohErkOunYxqfwr\ fwsfvsfvtfvufuufuvfuwftwftxftyfsyfszfszftwctuats_t\ qXtoVtlTtjQthOtfMtdKrfJqhJpjIolImnHlpHkrGjtGhiEgZD\ fOCeDBd2A`ELXPVU_dT`fT`gT`hS`iSajSalRamRanRboQbpQb\ rQbsPctPcuPcvPcwNcvLcvKcvIcuGcuFcuDctBctAct8cs6cs5\ cs6`t7Zt8Xt9VtASuBQuCOuDMuEKuFHvGFvHDvIBvJ9vL8uM7t\ N7tO6sP6sQ5rS4qT4qU3pV3pW2oX2ogISqX4rU3sS2tP2uM1uK\ 1rO6oSAlVEjZIgaMdeQahU_lYXoaUseSviUuhWthYsg_rg`qfb\ pfdpefoehndimdkmcmmcombpmblm`im_fmZcmY`mXXmWUmVRmU\ OmSLmRHmQEmPBmO8mN5mM2mLDmLNmLYmLgmLqmLomOmmRkmTim\ WgmYen`dobbpe`qhZrjXsmVtoTurSvthwnxxhuydrzapzZmzVk\ zShzPezLczI`zFZzCXzEVzGTzIRzKPzMUzQZzUczYhzamzerzi\ wzmrzinzeizaezY`zUXzQTzMdzCpz2MzrJzjGzbEzVBzN8zF6z\ 78zB9zEAzHCzKDzNEzQGzTHzWIzZKzaLzdMzg7zQ } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
