; FOTD -- November 07, 2009 (Rating 8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; I was going to name today's image "Sandy Claws", but I decided 
; to name it "A Minibrot in the Sand" instead.  The image is a 
; scene on the main stem of the chaotic Mandeloid that results 
; when Z^(2) and Z^(-2) are combined in a crazy way.
; 
; When a negative exponent of Z is involved in a formula, the 
; resulting fractal is highly dependent on the bailout radius.  
; The 3000000 entered as the second parameter acts as somewhat as 
; a bailout radius.  I set this parameter at the point where the 
; image is on the verge of evaporating, and let it rip.  The 
; result was interesting enough to be FOTD for today.
; 
; The rating of an 8 might be a bit optimistic, but I feel the 
; image is worth it.  The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is 
; certainly a bargain.
; 
; The most convenient way to view the sandy image however is to 
; surf out to the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and be exalted in its radiant glory there.
; 
; Total sun but chilly temperatures prevailed here at Fractal 
; Central on Friday.  The fractal cats enjoyed the sun while it 
; was beaming in the window, then took their places by the hall 
; radiator.
; 
; My day was average, which is just about all I can say about it.  
; Due to a trip back to Old Fractal Central on Saturday, there 
; will be no FOTD for November 8.  But the FOTD for November 9 
; will be posted on schedule.  Until then, take care, and don't 
; get caught up in the feel-good craze.
