; FOTD -- December 11, 2010 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image takes us back to the MandAutoCritInZ formula, 
; still the most productive formula in my oversized and underused 
; collection.  I named the scene "The Midas Untouch" because 
; sometimes every fractal I find seems to turn to lead.
; 
; Most of the effect of today's image is due to its coloring.  The 
; sinuous bands that hold the golden colors were created by 
; rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis'.
; 
; The rather unlikely generating formula combines 8.4 parts of 
; Z^(-2.2) with 17.5 parts of Z^(-5.2) then adds (1/C).  The par-
; ent fractal is a shapeless thing with a large but disconnected 
; minibrot just southwest of the main body of the fractal, which 
; is one of the most twisted minibrots I have yet come upon.  
; Today's scene lies in the East Valley area of this minibrot.
; 
; The rating of a 7 makes the 47-second calculation time a 
; bargain.  Other bargains may be found at the following web sites:

; 
; where the finished image soon will be posted.
; 
; Clouds moved in just after sunrise and hung tough here at 
; Fractal Central the rest of the day on Friday, tough enough for 
; about 1/2 inch, 1cm of snow to fall in the afternoon.  The 
; temperature rose from 16F -9C at sunrise to 30F -1C in the 
; afternoon, assuring that the small snowfall made things 
; slippery.  The fractal cats grew bored watching snowflakes 
; after a half hour, and spent the rest of the afternoon in a 
; warmer location.
; 
; My day was quite busy trying to clear away a lot of little 
; nuisance jobs.  The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but with the 
; holiday rush near its peak I will give no guarantee that it will 
; be ready on time.  Until whenever, take care, and . . . .
