It is a very high magnitude image of a midget lying in the ; eastern suburbs of a larger midget. The larger midget lies on ; the negative stem of the M-set, just beyond the stem of the ; large midget at -1.75. This curious location gives the midget ; in the image the characteristics of both the sword-like elements ; of the negative stem and the brain-like elements of East Valley. ; This combination of elements inspired the name "Both Ways at ; Once". ; ; The rating of 5 means 'average'. The original image had a color ; palette that earned it a 7, but before I saved the colors, I got ; up to check on a waiting job. While I was out of my chair, ; Thomas decided to jump up and walk on the keyboard. I don't ; know which keys he pressed, but when I returned, the colors that ; I had created had been totally lost. After giving Thomas a ; friendly scolding, I found another, unfortunately not as good, ; palette. So, thanks to Thomas, we have an image that rates only ; an average 5 instead of the original above-average 7. ; ; Lying at a rather extreme depth, the image requires arbitrary ; precision math, and therefore takes 47 minutes to render. The ; wait can be eliminated by downloading the completed image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather deteriorated rapidly during the day ; Wednesday here at Fractal Central, with the climax arriving at ; 4pm when a heavy thunder-storm passed over. There were reports ; of a possible tornado sighted around 25 miles to the southwest, ; but F.C. escaped untouched. The cats managed an hour or so in ; the yard before the rain arrived, when the temperature was 73F ; 23C. This appeared to satisfy their urge to be outside. ; ; The day passed uneventfully for me. (Which means the work went ; smoothly.) Hopefully, today, which is starting rainy, will pass ; equally uneventfully. Check back in 24 hours for another ; stunning (IMO) fractal. Until then, take care, and how many ; fractals would be needed to weigh a ton? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Both_Ways_at_Once { ; time=0:47:15.43--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7919\ 569696643180421863582/2.4197474875995613452e-6/2.7\ 25467e+021/1/-85/1.1094160312641321e-011 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000fdteaud_ucXueXqhXljXgmXboXZrXUtXPwXKzYFw\ XIsWLpVOlURiTUeSXbQ_ZPbWOeSNhPMkLLnIKqEIuMLiVPYbTM\ kXAt6jr7jo9jlAjiCkfEkcFk`HlYIlVKlSMmPNmMPmJRnMQlPO\ iSMgVKdZJaaH_dFXgDVkCSnAPq8Nt6Kx4Hv6Hs9IpCImFJkHKh\ KKeNLbQL`SMYVNVYNS`OQbONePKhQHkQFmRCpR9sS6vTNbhcIx\ cJwdKveLtfMsfNqgOphQniRmjSljTjkUilVgmWfnYdndeolfpt\ gfseXqcNoaDm_2kX3eY4Z_6S`7Mb8FcA8eDFbHM_KTWO_TRfPV\ mMZuIcjJh_LnONsDPy1Rv4Ss8UpBWlFYiI_fMacQb_TdXXfU_h\ RcjNglOglPgmQgnRfnSfoUfpVfqWeqXerYesZds`dtadubdvcc\ vdcwecxgby_YoSTeJOWBJM2DB2FB2HB2JA2MAIOAKQ9MT9OV9Q\ X8S_8Ua8Wc7Ye7_h7aj6cl6eo6jq5ks5kv4mw7kxAiyDgzGczJ\ _zMWzPSzSOwVKtYGr`8pc9mf9ji9gl9doAasCZsEVrGSqIUqKU\ pMUoOUnQUnSUmUUlWUkYVk_WjaXicXieYhgYgiXfkWfmWeoWdr\ VcrWcrXbrYar_ar``ra_rbZqdZqeYqfXqgWqiWqjVqkUqlTpnT\ poSppRpqQpsQptPpuOowNhrMamLVgJObIHYHASFN7PN8QNASNB\ UNDWNEYNG_NHaNJcNKeNMgNNi } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
