When it became apparent ; that all mankind was not going to die of the 'swine' flu, one of ; our customers decided to totally re-do his job to remove the ; possible impression that he expected an imminent repeat of 1918. ; It should have been obvious to him from the start that this flu ; scare was just another media-created big-news event designed to ; keep viewers worried and glued to the news channels. I barely ; finished today's re-do job in time to scrape up a below-average ; fractal. ; ; I avoid giving unusually low ratings to the FOTD images by not ; rating the ones that fall too far short. Today's image falls ; pretty far short, and therefore gets no rating at all. The ; scene is located near the negative X-axis of the Z^(3.003)+C ; Mandeloid, in an area that is rapidly fragmenting. There is ; nothing very new in the scene. I have posted similar images ; several times before. ; ; The name "All Cracked Up" describes my first impression of the ; image. The calculation time of 6-1/3 minutes is too much to ; spend on such a mediocre image. I strongly recommend saving the ; time by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A steady all-day rain and temperature of 54F 12C kept the ; fractal cats suppressed here at Fractal Central on Monday. The ; rain also kept FL suppressed. The un-necessary work kept me ; suppressed. ; ; The next FOTD, hopefully not suppressed, will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and I heard on TV that if you die ; as a result of taking a certain drug, you should call a lawyer ; to see if you have legal rights. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= All_Cracked_Up { ; time=0:06:48.68-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=manzpower center-mag=-0.3858562468\ 4106250/-0.00183676829694136/2.589491e+008/1/10/0 params=0/0/3.003/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 colors=050dbVcdXafY_iZZk_Xm`VobUrcStdQvePxfOugNsgM\ phLnhKkiJiiIfjHdjGafG_cGX`FVXFSUFQRENNELKFLCEJHEIL\ DHQDGUDFYCEbCDf87iCCjFGjIKjLOjOSjRWjU_kXck_gkbkkeo\ khskkwkluhmsenqboo_pmXqkUriRsgOteLucIvaFw_CxY9xX6w\ UAwSEwQIwOMwMQwKUwIYwGawEewCiwAmw8qw6uw4xU5Y0572B8\ 3H94N95TA6ZA7dB3j68iBChFGhJKgNOgRTfVXeZ`ebddforbhd\ jaSrVFzUGwTGuSHsRHpQInQIlPJjOJgNKeMKcNFcMKaMO`LS_J\ VYLWZNW_OX`QXaRYaTYbUZcWZdY_eZ_e``fa`gcahpUidahUhh\ JohHfiFYi9OmEQiJSfNTbSV_WWW`YTdZPi`MmaJoYMpVOqRQsO\ TtKVuHXwDevEZvETvENyCIvEHsGHpHHmJHjKHgMHdNHaPGZQGW\ SGTTGQVGNWGKYGHZGWWIiTKv0mwQLsRNpSOmSPiTQfTScUT`UU\ XVVUWWRWYNXZKX_HY`EYaFXcGXdGWeHWfIWgIVhJViKUjKUkLU\ lMTmMTnNSoOSpQQtOSqMUnKWkIYhG_eEabCc_AeX9gVBdTCaRE\ ZQFWOHTMIQLKNJLKHNHGOEEOBEPCDPDCQEBQFAQG9RH8RI7RJ6\ SK5SL4SM3TN2TO1TP0ST6RXCQaIOePNjVMn`KsgTedbR`dYege\ jjlomtuTsa7rHkURiWShYTf`U } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
