Pickles
Rana says: Pickles is an active, smart, and super cute gray-and-white tabby. She can push buttons and knock on doors. She can also open books. We got pickles from the next door neighbor. She is three months old and very aware of her surroundings, plus she is now accustomed to her name and also respects the rule around the household.

This is an artist's impression of a growing supermassive black hole located in the early Universe, showing a disk of gas rotating around the central object that generates copious amounts of radiation. This gas is destined to be consumed by the black hole. The black hole's mass is less than one hundredth of the mass it will have when the Universe reaches its present day age of about 13.7 billion years.

Two more bracelets were awarded on Wednesday. Should be a very interesting day as some big names are leading other events (more on that in a follow-up post).

In Event #22 ($1,500 PLO) another Frenchie,Elie Payan, banked a bracelet. This just one day after country-mate Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier captured his first. Sacrebleu! Much like Savoir Faire the French are everywhere this year. For the win, Payan banks $292,825, or about 16,733 pounds ofBleu d’Auvergne cheese. Payan defeatedRafaelKibrit($181,222) heads-up for the title.Other notable finishes include David “Doc” Sands in third ($113,383), 2 Months 2 Million star Emil “whitelime” Patel in sixth ($45,544), and chess master Jeff Sarwer ineighth($26,704).

The other bracelet went out in Event #23 ($2,500 8-Game).John Monnette, who you may or may not remember for coming thisclose to winning multiple bracelets in 2009 (and specifically finishing second to Phil Ivey), finallycaptured his first, banking $278,144 in the process. He defeatedEric Buchman ($171,855), who continues his three-year WSOP run-good, heads-up for the title. John Juanda finished sixth ($42,897) and John Racener finishedeighth($24,797).

Today's picture shows three emancipated slaves from New Orleans. You will recognize Isaac White on the left from Sunday's Picture. On the right is Augusta Broujey. In the middle is Mary Johnson. I have found the following information on Mary.


MARY JOHNSON was cook in her master's family in New Orleans. On her left arm are scars of three cuts given to her by her mistress with a rawhide. On her back are scars of more than fifty cuts given by her master. The occasion was that one morning she was half an hour behind time in bringing up his five o'clock cup of coffee. As the Union army approached she ran away from her master, and has since been employed by Colonel Hanks as cook.

I love Spokane, one of the hidden gems of the Northwest. I'm always excited to be traveling through this city and it lends itself so well to photography. I spent the entire day taking pictures and settled in to eat dinner at a local restaurant. I was shocked when I left the restaurant to see the entire city enveloped in fog. I loved the way the lights shone through the fog and silhouetted the people as they walked. I grabbed my camera and took a few quick shots. This was my favorite, I love the lady walking alone and the way the stairs frame her.(This photo and caption were submitted to the 2011 National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest.)
