Capullo, Finch, Prado, and Reis Added to Baltimore Comic-Con 2014

Press Release:
Baltimore Comic-Con Announces Banner List of All-Star Artists!
Capullo, Finch, Prado, and Reis Join the 3 Day Party!
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – February 10, 2014 – Year after year, the staff at the Baltimore Comic-Con strives to make our show bigger and better, and our 15th annual event will be no different. The premiere 3-day gala occurs the weekend of September 5-7, 2014!
Our announced guests today are noteworthy for their artistic contributions to the industry, and specifically their recent work at DC Comics.
After some initial success at small-press publisher FantaCo, Greg Capullo landed work in the 1990s at Marvel Comics on titles such as Quasar, What If..?, and X-Force. Todd MacFarlane approached Capullo to do work for him at Image Comics on MacFarlane's Spawn, which led to a run on the title, spin-offs, and other notable titles under the Image umbrella including Haunt and Capullo's The Creech. DC Comics wooed Capullo to take over art duties on Batman during their New 52 relaunch, a run that went on to earn great accolades.
Joining us from Canada, David Finch received recognition for his early work at Top Cow Productions on titles such as Cyberforce, Ascension, and Aphrodite IX. He then went on to spend a number of years at Marvel Comics, working on blockbuster titles including Ultimate X-Men, Avengers (and the relaunched New Avengers), and Moon Knight before jumping into an exclusive contract with DC Comics in 2010 where he flexed his writing muscles as well as his drawing skills on Batman: The Dark Knight. He is currently working on DC's Forever Evil.
The Brazilian team of Ivan Reis and Joe Prado will also return to the Baltimore Comic-Con in 2014! Reis began his career at Dark Horse with a long run on Ghost and follow-up work on The Mask, Time Cop, and Xena. He has worked on Marvel titles like Avengers, Iron Man, and Defenders, and at DC on Action Comics, Teen Titans, and Superman. Prado's line work has graced the pages and covers of DC Comics' Superman, Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, and Rann/Thanagar War. Together, they are currently working on Justice League and Aquaman and The Others, also from DC Comics.
"We love what these gentlemen have brought to the DC Comics Universe, and comics art in general," commented Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "It is an absolute pleasure to welcome them back, and we know our fans will be thrilled to hear they'll be joining us again!"
This year's previously confirmed guests for the show include: Marty Baumann (Pixar artist); Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl); Dave Bullock (Batman Black and White); Bernard Chang (Green Lantern Corps); Sean Chen (Amazing Spider-Man); Jimmy Cheung (Infinity); Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman); Frank Cho (X-Men: Battle of the Atom); Richard Clark (House of Gold & Bones); Steve Conley (Bloop); Alan Davis (Wolverine); Tommy Lee Edwards (Suicide Risk); Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys); Dave Gibbons (Watchmen); Bryan JL Glass (Mice Templar); Michael Golden (The Ravagers); Cully Hamner (Animal Man); Dean Haspiel (The Fox); Fred Hembeck (Garfield); Adam Hughes (Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan); JG Jones (Green Lantern Corps, Batman Black and White); Justin Jordan (Luther Strode, Green Lantern: New Guardians); Barry Kitson (Empire); Aaron Kuder (Action Comics); David Mack (Shadowman); Kevin Maguire (Guardians of the Galaxy); Alex Maleev (Moon Knight); Ron Marz (Witchblade); Bob McLeod (X-Men: Gold); Tradd Moore (Deadpool Annual); Mark Morales (New Avengers); Dan Parent (Archie, Veronica, Kevin Keller); David Peterson (Mouse Guard); Eric Powell (The Goon); Brian Pulido (Lady Death); Budd Root (Cavewoman); Alex Saviuk (Web of Spider-Man); Andy Smith (Superman #23.1: Bizarro); John K. Snyder III (Zorro Rides Again); Allison Sohn (sketch card artist); Charles Soule (Thunderbolts); Ben Templesmith (The Memory Collectors); Peter Tomasi (Batman and Two-Face); John Totleben (Swamp Thing); Herb Trimpe (GI Joe: A Real American Hero); Billy Tucci (Shi); Rick Veitch (Saga of the Swamp Thing); Matt Wagner (Grendel); Mark Waid (Daredevil); Bill Willingham (Fables); Renee Witterstaetter (Joe Jusko: Maelstrom); and Thom Zahler (My Little Pony).

Im a complete novice with wordpress. Managed to get the website up and running but really dissapointed witht the blog page. http://charusphotography.com/index.php/blog/
How to I remove the third column (recent posts and test) and use an image double the current width (439px). If that's not possible then at least move it below the entry so that the image can be bigger.
Also want to know how I can put a subscribe button that is at the top somewhere so it cannot be missed by a visitor.
Not sure what other details I should be providing. Any info is appreciated. But once again, I'm really new to wordpress so please bear with me.

"The Finishers" and "We are #JasperStrong" are the winners of this week's Ink of the Week contest!
This past weekend, friends gathered to participate in the Griffith Park Relay Marathon in Los Angeles, California. Some were first-time runners and some were experienced runners, but all ran in dedication to those who have lost their battle against cancer and all finished the race strong in their Hanes Cool Dri Performance Shirts!
When this customer's 10-year-old cousin, Jasper, was diagnosed with Leukemia this year, she knew she wanted custom #JasperStrong t-shirts to not only support him, but to spread awareness about the wonderful boy Jasper is. Most recently, Jasper's family showed off their shirts on a trip to the beach.

The Pyramid Trail is a 3 mile out and back (total 6 miles) with a total elevation climb of 1,100 feet and a short elevation climb of about 800' in one mile. There are scenic views of Ahwatukee and Chandler from the top of Pyramid Trail.
The trail follows a ridge line and meets up with the National Trail, where there is a short 0.5 mile climb and a Panoramic View of Phoenix to the north and Ahwatukee to the south. This makes a good turn around point.
It would be fun to meet at Loco Patrons in Ahwatukee after the hike, a local favorite (on the corner of W Chandler Blvd and S Desert Foothills Parkway) for post hike carb loading.
Note to moderate hikers: We want you to turn out! Since it is an out and back, you don't have to complete the hike. We will pick you up on the way back.

"I have always loved hearts," Barrymore said in a press release. "The way that one continuous line accomplishes the most extraordinary thing — it conveys love. Hearts are my beacons. I love them man-made and natural, young and old. Whenever and wherever I see the heart shape, a smile spreads across my face. The heart has an unbeatable romance when you discover one where you least expect it."
Find It in Everything is due out in January. And in other Drew news ("Drews"), the actress joined Twitter yesterday and here is her first tweet:
Something tells me that as long as there are heart shapes to discover in the world and be inspired by, nothing is going to stop our Gertie from rambling. Her spirit is as unbeatable as the heart's romance.

Tensions between the 2014 F1 title rivals became open following qualifying in Monte Carlo, with Hamilton displeased when Rosberg secured pole position despite going off on his final Q3 lap, causing a yellow flag that prompted Hamilton to abandon his own pole bid.
Hamilton finished second to Rosberg in the race as well, and repeatedly expressed his frustration at Mercedes' strategy over the radio, particularly when he felt he should have been called in immediately when Adrian Sutil crashed in an incident that ultimately resulted in a safety car.
Asked if he felt the problems between him and Rosberg could now be solved, Hamilton replied: "I don't have an answer for you."
Rosberg was more conciliatory, insisting that there were no issues that could not be overcome.
"We've had discussions and we have known each other for so long, we always sit down and discuss it and move on, and that is what we will do," said the German, who now leads the world championship by four points.
He also declined to respond to comments Hamilton had made about his upbringing in an interview with the official F1 website earlier this week.
"I didn't hear Lewis say that so I am not going to comment, it is easy for you to just invent something," Rosberg said.
"Even if something like that was written, between what Lewis said and was written... I know Lewis would not say something like that, maybe to me, but not to the press."
Hamilton said a potential strategy change under the safety car was the only way he could have beaten Rosberg during the race.
"It is irrelevant now, but we got the exact same start and there are only two opportunities in the race, the pitstop is the other one," said the Briton.
"So the safety car came out at a perfect time for him and I didn't have a chance there.
"I think we have a rule that the guy in front gets the preference to pit first, I think that will be why."
Prior to Monaco, Hamilton had won four straight grands prix. Rosberg acknowledged that it was essential to halt that streak.
"It is a special win definitely because Lewis had the momentum, the results and everything and I needed to try to break that momentum and I managed to do that this weekend," he said.

I'm working on a site that has very long titles of lectures and classes that serve as the headline of each page. However, these very long titles get translated into the URL.
In some CMS's I've worked with, there's a field that called short URL that allows you to manually change the URL for the page, but allow you to keep the headline you want people to see. (I'm not talking about short URLs generators through bit.ly or anything like for external use like for twitter).
I'm wondering if there is a way to do this in WordPress?
for example, if my headline (name of lecture) is:
"From the Grain Sieve of the Ancient World to the Modern Puerto Rican Plena: Tracing the Roots of the Latin American Tambourine"
how can I keep that in the <h2> area but then have the URL be something like:
I have a feeling this can't be done as I haven't found any information on it, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Macho: "Clinton to Trump: You don't represent the real America. I do" Except for wanting to replace Americans with Cheap H1B Visa People ... "Huffington Post - 07/26/2016" "Presidential Candidates Need to Weigh In" Unless Hillary Clinton states otherwise, she supports importing more foreign workers to replace and fire competent U.S. workers. In 2011, as Secretary of State, she assisted the U.S. Embassy in India by authorizing them to break federal law and accept every visa in excess of 60,000 to replace American workers. According to James Otto, labor rights attorney, Clinton also spent more than 40 million taxpayer dollars to educate foreigners and import them."

World Extreme Cagefighting champion Dominick Cruz outboxed, outwrestled and generally outclassed bantamweight Scott Jorgensen on Thursday to set the stage for a possible showdown with WEC icon Urijah Faber.
All three judges scored the bout 50-45 for Cruz at WEC 53 in Glendale, Ariz. With the win, he became the first 135-pound titleholder for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which will absorb WEC at year's end.
Cruz's strategy was evident from the start. He kept Jorgensen off balance by circling quickly, changing direction often, moving his head and slipping to the side after punches. The champion unleashed a mix of quick jabs, uppercuts, a variety of kicks, some hooks and occasional takedown shots.
Jorgensen plowed forward in attempts to clinch or land a power punch, but he never found a stationary target. Cruz buzzed around Jorgensen, picked him apart, took him down with seeming ease and never gave the challenger a chance to get anything going.
The champion landed 141 strikes standing to 39 for Jorgensen, according to Compustrike.
Even Jorgensen's main strength, wrestling, was of no avail. Even in the rare instances when he secured a takedown, he could not keep Cruz on the mat for more than a millisecond.
Meanwhile, Cruz went six for seven on takedown attempts. He landed elbows to the head and punches to the body for a total of 142 ground strikes.
Thursday's victory was Cruz's eight consecutive win and third straight in a title fight. Wins over consensus top-four fighters in Jorgensen, Joseph Benavidez and f0rmer champion Brian Bowles should answer any doubts, Cruz said.
"I think people believe it," he said. "The future holds a lot of title defenses."
Cruz wants the next one to come against featherweight ex-champion Urijah Faber, a training partner of Jorgensen and teammate of Benavidez. Faber, who defeated Cruz as a featherweight in March 2007, made his 135-pound debut with a win over former contender Takeya Mizugaki.
Faber has been open about his fervent dislike of Cruz.
