; 
; FOTD -- March 24, 2012 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is late; accept my apologies.  An antiquing trip 
; to Annville erupted around noon, and we did not arrive back at 
; FC until after 7pm.
; 
; The name of today's image, "Cream of Fractals", came to me as I 
; cooked a pot of a well-known breakfast cereal, when the bubbles 
; in the cooking cereal reminded me of the details in the green 
; area of the image.
; 
; The simple iterated expression subtracts 0.01 part of Z^(-9) 
; from 0.4 part of Z^2 and adds straight C on each iteration.  The 
; resulting parent fractal resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set 
; with its bays partly filled with cell-like features.  Today's 
; image lies near a rather large minibrot in the area of Scepter 
; Valley.
; 
; The rating of a 7 indicates average satisfaction on my part.  I 
; might have raised the rating another point if I had put more 
; effort into the coloring, rather than letting the image go with 
; one of Fractint's random color palettes.
; 
; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a pretty good deal, 
; though even this little effort may be saved by viewing the image 
; on one of the web sites.
; 
; The official FOTD web site is online at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; A high definition version of the image is available at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The original, now classic, FOTD site may be accessed at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; The spring-like weather that has been gracing Fractal Central 
; for over a week came to a sudden end today as heavy clouds moved 
; in and periods of rain wet the blossoming plants.  The fractal 
; cats registered strong complaints about the lack of sun, the 
; lack of humans, and the temperature of only 59F 15C.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and once upon a time there was a certain school with 400 
; students who said a prayer every day at the start of classes.  
; Everyone was happy, but then an Atheist boy enrolled and 
; complained to his parents that he had been forced to hear the 
; other students pray to a god he did not believe in.  When his 
; family took legal action, the school was ordered to stop the 
; prayers.  Instead of one offended student, there now were 400 
; offended students, but everyone said they felt good because the 
; problem had been solved and justice for all had been done.
