Today's FREE kindle book is The Parent Pact by Laurie Kellogg. The regular price is $11.99 and can change back at any time.
When widower Tyler Fitzpatrick meets Annie Barnes at his daughter's school, his libido goes tilt. The sexy single mother is everything he and his grieving little girl need. Unfortunately, Annie flatly refuses his dinner invitation. She wants a husband and a father for her son—not just a boyfriend. And the last time she checked, wealthy, summa-cum-laude lawyers didn't marry high-school-drop-out housekeepers.
Tyler concedes there's a vast difference between their experiences and lifestyles. Still, he's inexplicably drawn to the impoverished young woman—even though her little boy reminds Tyler of an underprivileged past he'd rather forget. While becoming better acquainted, he offers Annie a job caring for his daughter and home in Redemption, PA. He also proposes a Parent Pact—an agreement to become role models to each other's child and to fill one another's needs as single parents while they continue to search for true love.
Accepting Tyler's offer would solve a lot of Annie's problems. However, surrendering to her weak-in-the-knees attraction to the irresistible widower could very well leave her and her son heartbroken. Yet, when circumstances threaten her ability to feed her child, Annie reluctantly agrees to the pact, making it clear she has no desire for Tyler to fill her so-called needs in bed. It's a bald-faced lie, but she knows the man's desperation to give his daughter the nurturing she needs will compel him to accept a purely platonic relationship.
Now, Annie's only problem is resisting the overwhelming temptation to let sin-in-a-tailored-suit Tyler seduce her.

Four area grapplers alive for medals
It wasn't the type of opening day that Times News area wrestlers had hoped for from the Bethlehem Holiday Wrestling Classic at Liberty High School.
Only four TN area wrestlers are alive as they head into today's final day of action.
Lehighton leads the local charge with Anthony Farole (152) and Michael Balliet (170) guaranteeing themselves medals with wins in the fourth round of consolations Wednesday night.
Farole knocked off Dylan Hoffman of Abington Heights 3-2, while Balliet beat Charlie Prince of North Penn 7-2.
For Balliet, who overcame getting pinned by Big Spring's Cody Seibert in the third period during his quarterfinal bout, battling back was important.
"I know people may laugh when I say this, but I wanted to come into this tournament and win it," said Balliet. "You got to have a heart of a champion after you lose and I just wanted to come back and fight harder."
Seibert may put every wrestler at a disadvantage in the 170-pound category, standing at nearly 6-foot-5, which gave the 5-foot-9 Balliet issues.
"He's definitely the tallest wrestler I've ever faced," Balliet said. "It's something I'll learn from, but now I just want to battle back and take third place."
Northern Lehigh's Ty Herzog was the lone Bulldog to advance following a 6-3 consolation round win over Southern's Chris Serpico in the 145-pound bracket.
Head coach Todd Herzog hoped he would have had better results, but understands that a tournament like this isn't easy.
"This type of tournament is good. It helps expose a lot of our young kids to what top level competition is all about," said Herzog. "When you come to a tourney like this, really good kids are going to expose your flaws in a hurry, so this is good preparation for us heading into the season."
Northwestern's Levi Veppert (182) is the last TN wrestler to advance. He pinned Saucon Valley's Tyler Evans in the second period to give head coach Tom Moll something to salvage medal wise from the tournament.
"For a guy like Levi, this tournament is a measuring stick to see where he's at," Moll said. "For us as a team, it's no different. This tournament shows us where we need to improve and where we have work to do."

NYCC 2011: Crossing the Comics/Prose Divide
A little over a year ago I noticed that there was a remarkable lack of comics coverage in the mainstream publishing press. I noticed that this applied to coverage of events both inside the comics industry as well as public facing (new titles launched). Now, there has always been some coverage, but it was just a bare dabbling in covering the highlights when comics publishers really should be given the same coverage as any other publisher.
Eventually I guessed that comics and the rest of publishing do not regard themselves as being part of the same industry. This viewpoint is so accepted that it's not even a discussion point; it's simply a truism that few even realize that they accept.
If you're puzzled by my going to NYCC, then you have just proven me right. But that's not the only point I want to make.
I was there to learn how digital comics get into the hands of the customers. Now, this is where you'd expect to find B&N, Kobo, Apple, and Amazon, but none of them were officially in attendance. None of the major ebookstores had a booth at NYCC (like they would have had at other publishing conventions) and that is a mistake. They're missing out on a chance to connect with readers and content creators.
When it comes to the major ebookstores, this lack of engagement isn't a viewpoint; it's a blindspot that is costing Amazon, B&N, and Kobo customers, authors, and publishers.
Now, B&N did sponsor a conference session, and I will try to cover it in detail elsewhere. But that session was what finally convinced me to write this post. Out of the 50 or so people in the room, only a handful weren't planning to self-pub. What's even worse was that the room was packed beyond capacity and they were turning people away!
I suppose I shouldn't criticize B&N for not having a booth; they at least had the sense to sponsor that session. But they did not have an official presence so it is still a partial fail.
And yes, all 3 ebookstores have some comics, but I'm not sure that Kobo or Amazon care if they sign any comics publishers. We already know that B&N is at least trying; the recent ruckus over the Kindle Fire exclusive made that clear.
And no, that Kindle Fire exclusive doesn't mean Amazon cares about digital comics; they were just as likely only interested in it for the headline value. If Amazon cared about digital comics then they would have put the same effort into recruiting at NYCC that they do at any other publishing convention.
I know I'm not the first to notice the comics vs publishing divide and I'm probably not the first to write about it. But I cannot recall anyone ever jumping up and down, waving their arms, and screaming about how it needs to be fixed. That is what I hope I've accomplished in this post.

Nation′s Teen Vaccination Coverage Increasing, Variability Observed By Area, Race/Ethnicity, and Poverty Status
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
From Press Release:
Vaccine coverage rates for the nation's preteens and teens are increasing, but nationally, rates remain low for the vaccines specifically recommended for preteens, according to 2008 estimates released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Vaccination coverage for teens is moving up, but much work remains," said Melinda Wharton, M.D., Deputy Director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. "We have the most room for improvement for the vaccines that are recommended at 11 or 12 years of age, and for making sure that teens who are not immune to chickenpox receive the vaccine as recommended."
The National Immunization Survey (NIS) estimates the proportion of teens aged 13 through 17 years who have received six recommended vaccines by the time they are surveyed. Three of these are recommended to be given at age 11 or 12 years: the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap), the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4), and, for girls, the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV4). If missed at this age, the vaccines can be given in the teen years. The survey also covers three other vaccines, which are recommended to be given earlier in life: measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR), hepatitis B vaccine (HepB), and varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. Preteens and teens should get all recommended doses of these vaccines if they missed them when they were younger. All doses are counted, no matter when they were received.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — In the days before Evo Morales' inauguration, Bolivians had to confront some critical questions: What would Morales say in his first speech as president? Whom would he appoint to his Cabinet? And most crucial: What would Evo wear?
Not, God forbid, The Sweater.
The Sweater, as any Bolivian knows and the rest of the world is coming to understand, is an old, wool, multicolored pullover that has become a Morales trademark.

Powerhouse Epalahame Lauaki's double strike made it a disappointing return to the DW Stadium for Tigers boss Ian Millward.
The Tongan prop plundered his first tries for Wigan since his close-season arrival from Hull.
Lauaki had drawn a blank in his first 22 outings for the Warriors but bulldozed his way over twice in the first seven minutes to help his side move five points clear of Warrington at the top.
Depleted Cas trailed 16-0 after only 11 minutes but Millward's men dug deep to hold out until head-bandaged Liam Farrell went over just before the break.
Rhys Williams, on loan from Warrington, showed his potential by cutting inside Sam Tomkins and George Carmont for a sparkling Tigers try in the first half. Warriors boss Shaun Wane said: "It was a scratchy performance. In parts we looked good but in others not so good.
"Our middle units up front ran hard. The problem was when we pulled the trigger we weren't at our best.
"Epalahame's form has been good. He is a big and solid but there is still some improvement in him.
"Darrell Goulding was unconscious for a couple of minutes but was OK later and walking about."
Millward said:"The way our guys went about their business was pleasing but we are down to the bare bones. It was a very spirited performance.
"Their try just before half-time was crucial." Millward, sacked by Wigan six years ago, can be proud of his side's battling effort to be behind only 20-12 early in the second half after their nightmare start.
The Tigers suffered a blow when Rangi Chase withdrew to join Jamie Ellis, Kirk Dixon, Ryan Hudson and Josh Griffin on the sidelines. Cas were forced to partner forward Oliver Holmes with skipper Danny Orr in a makeshift half back pairing.
Lauaki took only three minutes to notch the first try after crashing through Orr's attempted tackle from short range.
Lauaki added a second when he powered over after man of the match Michael McIlorum was held short and Tomkins' conversions made it 12-0.
Then Tomkins darted into the line to set up a try for Iain Thornley – his fourth in three games since returning recently from a spell with Sale RU.
Orr, retiring at the end of the season, worked tirelessly in his farewell appearance at his old club.
Play was held up for more than five minutes before Goulding was carried off on a stretcher after being knocked out making a tackle.
Williams' solo effort was cancelled out by Liam Farrell to make it 20-6 at half-time before Holmes bagged Tigers' second.
Steve Snitch caused Wigan problems with his powerful running but Carmont went over with Tomkins 30th try of the season extending the advantage to 30-12.
The Warriors are now unbeaten in their last nine matches against Cas since 2009 but it wasn't a champion performance by the favourites to lift the League Leaders Trophy.
Josh Charnley had to wait until seven minutes from time to score his ninth try in his last five outings against the Tigers.
Cas refused to throw in the towel with Stuart Jones crossing late on.
But Tomkins finished with 16 points after bagging his second try in the last minute.

Brother seems to have indirectly found a new, albeit strange way to promote their printers recently, by starring them in their very own dating sim game.
Visual novels that make you date a dinosaur might already look very strange and bizarre, but particular visual novel seems to want to take this concept yet again at a different angle. Yes, it might just be some sort of a wacky advertisement, but there is actually a sort of browser-based dating sim game that introduces a printer as your potential romantic interest.
The name of the game is Koi Suru Brother-kun, translated as "The Loving Brother (printer)". Like most Japanese dating sims, this game puts you at a high school setting, where Bro-dan the printer has just moved in and transferred in the main character's school. It's then up to the player to see how this romantic story would go through and end.
The printer that "starred" in the game is Brother's DCP-J952-ECO, but if you want to personally meet Bro-dan himself, you can visit the game here (in Japanese).

Wanted to share a new video and announce a two week special on MDF3790 Document Sets!
Here is a video I did as a compliment to an Instructable I am producing on how to simulate water drops using Photoshop, Rhino3D, and Mach3. I will provide the link to the instructable when I am finished with it.
I am also posting to announce I am temporarily lowering the cost of my PDF for building the MDF3790 CNC!!!
In case the embeded video doesn't work you can click below and see it HD!
For the last year, I have been developing a new bent steel and aluminum CNC for doing small intricate work and heavy duty cutting, but I am also considering it as a platform for other technologies (plasma, laser, prototyping and tangential knife) I have been using the funds from the sales of the PDF set to pay for much of the R&D, purchasing the electronics, etc... Now the basic structure is complete (digitally) and in order to push through the development process, I will be sending the final parts to the laser cutter the last week in March. So I decided to experiment with the cost of the plan sets and make this two week offer to those people who were on the fence.
A peak at the production digital model of the Platform CNC....
People from all over the world have purchased the plans for the MDF3790 to follow exactly or to use as a jumping off point for their own designs. Since the plans are very easy to follow, and I also include the original CAD work (not just the Gcode) this allows people to easily modify / or CNC the parts.
Currently, aside from people in the US, there are people building from the plans in Poland, Netherlands, Italy, Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico and New Zealand.
The initial investment in a good set of plans is a drop in the bucket considering the cost of time spent developing a design from scratch, and avoiding the cost of 'ordering the wrong part'. I am now offering these same plans for $40 (a 50% savings!) for the next two weeks to help me pay for the final stages of my new CNC project. You will still receive all of the ongoing updates concerning the MDF3790 including my future plans to retro-hybridize it in the future.
If you want a more detailed description of what is included in the plan set, you can go to.

Awaiting confirmation but heard the Honda OEM batteries are only guaranteed for one year.
The closest non-Honda battery is this Exide but specs aren't the same- how important is this?
Can't find a higher Ah/CCA that will fit either..

Reports from the Matt's (Barrows and Maiocco) have a good bit of the 49ers offensive players getting together to go over Harbaugh's playbook. Quarterback Alex Smith contacted every offensive player to arrange a 'minicamp.' Maiocco put together some of the tweets from some of the players discussing the camp.
Hey Alex 2 more days then we can work for free just like the old days! For the love of the game rather than the money @VernonDavis85 (tight end Vernon Davis posted that on Saturday, and followed it up Sunday with "you know your way to san jose?").
–Headed home to see all my teammates. @jstaley74 (left tackle Joe Staley, who had spent the past week working out in New Jersey).
–Headed out west for cpl days @DZeigler17 (wide receiver Dominique Zeigler, who is rehabbing a torn anterior cruciate ligament that he sustained late in the season).
–I'm headed back to Cali,In the Airport right now @Boobie24Dixon (running back Anthony Dixon.)
–Gotta get @Boobie24Dixon from the airport. @AnthonyDavis76 (right tackle Anthony Davis).
And here is a quick thought from Barrows regarding the Playbook Sessions.
Three 49ers quarterbacks will be on hand: Smith, David Carr and rookie Colin Kaepernick, who is not yet ready for full practices. The question is, how many receivers will show up? The big mystery is presumptive No. 1 receiver Michael Crabtree, who has been in the Bay Area the last few weeks but who has not worked out with Smith and the group of receivers who work out together. Josh Morgan, Kevin Jurovich, Ted Ginn, Kyle Williams and even rookie Ronald Johnson have spent some time working with Smith this offseason. Crabtree has not.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
landlord harassment
The apartment manager were I live is trying to evict me because he thinks I moved in my boyfriend, can he do this? I feel the reason he moved me in is because he wanted to go out with me. Is this considered sexual harassment? He has also been harassing me, sending me threat letters and a 3-day to pay or quit for a money order he lost after he already admitted he lost it, can he do this? What should I do. I want to sue, but on what charges should I sue him for?
Do I have A case? Please help!!
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: landlord harassment
If your rental agreement forbids any roommates, and if your boyfriend moved in you can be in trouble. Arguably, the landlord needs to give you three days to get him out, and if there is no live in boyfriend or he is out, you should be able to stay.
There is no sexual harassment if the landlord simply wants to date you. There may be sexual harassment if the landlord threatens to evict you unless you date him.
Regarding the 3 day notice to pay rent. If he lost the money order, and your are aware of it, you should get the money order cancelled and replaced. Although he lost it, you are able to resolve the problem. Offer to help with a witness present (in case you have to go to court.)
You probably don't have very good grounds to sue your landlord. It does not appear you have suffered any damages, and he likely has a different version of the story. You would have a hard time convincing a lawyer to take this case, based on what you stated here.
Finally, don't be so stupid as to let your boyfriend shack up with you - unless you don't care about having a stable normal family life. People who shack up rarely stick it out and the women are almost always the big losers, especially if there are children. There is no 100% safe birth control, so you may be making children who may not have a father. That is a bum rap for the kids and for you.

Senator Duane and Assembly Member Rosenthal Sponsor Maple in Manhattan Day
On April 16, I joined New York State Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal in sponsoring
Maple in Manhattan Day at P.S. 87 at West 78th Street. The event featured a presentation by the Vernon-Verona-Sherill High School Future Farmers of America (V.V.S. FFA) of its mobile maple exhibit to 2nd through 5th graders from P.S. 9 and P.S. 87.
V.V.S. FFA, an upstate branch of a national organization of agricultural students, teamed up with the New York State Maple Producers Association to teach school children about maple syrup production in New York. The exhibit engages students in an interactive demonstration of the five steps of maple production, from the tapping of maple trees to the boiling of sap into delicious maple syrup.
Currently, New York produces more maple syrup -- a remarkably sustainable natural resource – than any other state in the nation except Vermont and Maine.

3. I've already argued that it looks like the producers are deliberately giving Matt a Job edit, but it could be looked on as a saint edit too. I think it's some late attempt to try and set up a conflict between Rob (evil) and Matt (good), but I don't think it's particularly wise or interesting.
4. Someone in Ometepe might also have been wise to try to broker some deal with the remaining Zaps about sharing something Ometepe has with them in exchange for their willingness to share their non-contaminated rice. It's likely that the Zapateras are going to dominate the jury (actually, is there any way they won't at this point?), so making yourself look good, or at least reasonable, to them might not be a bad idea at this stage of the game, especially if it means you get something you need as a result. I'm actually sort of surprised Rob didn't make that move, since the rest of them appear incapable of making independent decisions.
5. I didn't catch that Rob's immunity would carry over onto another TC, but even if it doesn't, he still has an II that, so far as I recall, no one knows about, so he has another week of immunity, should he choose to use it.
Technically, Rob isn't a repeat winner, though he did come in second to Amber, whom he later married, so both first and second place money stayed in the family. However, first time players may not be interested in rewarding someone who's playing for the fourth time either. For that matter, the Zaps might feel as if Rob only managed to succeed in the way that he did because of the tribe that he was on and that he wouldn't have managed to dominate them so well, so his success was based partially on luck. I have no idea if that is true or not--nor would they--but I can see where they might feel that way and choose not to vote for him. Or they could just decide they don't like him or find someone else more sympathetic or whatever. You can never predict how a jury's going to vote. Matt could also win just because the Zaps prefer someone who at least considered, however briefly, breaking away from the cult of Rob than someone who didn't (or Rob himself). And, as you pointed out, he wasn't around long enough to annoy most of the jury, and he could argue that he did play one aspect of the game exceedingly well. Or he could, I suppose, make a move once he got back into the game (if he gets back into the game) that would make him seem like a better game player than he has been so far.
But everything at this point is just speculation. We don't know who's going to the final three or who's on the jury or what's going to happen in the meantime. Heck, Rob, if he makes it to the final, is going to have to burn some Ometepes to get there, and with the possible exception of Andrea, I think they all believe they have reason to think he's taking them with him to the final. Even throwing out Andrea, that still means he's going to have to burn two more of his alliance and who knows how they'd handle that?
Im not buying for one second, the notion that Rob will most certainly win this thing.
His tribe has needed him up til now. He knows that, and he also knows that once the other tribe is cannibalized, everyone is on their own, and he'll be the first target.
Im a huge Rob fan. But, I would be shocked if he even makes it to the final, even with his immunity idol(he's gotta have insight as to when to play it, which isnt always easy). I hope he does tho.
IIRC, the moisture and mold got into the Om's rice container because it rusted through on the bottom. That's their own fault for leaving it sit in damp sand. They know perfectly well their environment on the beach is very damp! They should have kept that container under the tarp.
Oh, and here's Phillip's LinkedIn page: Phillip Sheppard | LinkedIn
He was in the army for 4 years (rank Specialist 4) and then worked for the "Defence Investigative Service DIS" (misspelling his, not mine) for 3 years. He's worked for various software companies in the 20 years since.
IMO his behavior indicates some sort of mental/emotional issue going beyond simply being socially inept and I hope he seeks some counseling.
Agree that Julie shouldn't have taken his shorts -- I think contestants should be forbidden to mess with the personal items of anyone else! I can understand wanting to mess with Phillip in retaliation, but there are many other ways they could do that without resorting to theft.

How can I Migrate my phoroblog from Pixelpost to WordPress?
And don´t lose my old archives and my comments.
Can Anybody help me?
Best Regards
I never get responses with this request either. We are invisible. 🙁Mark / t31os
You need a script to convert it.
If there's no replies, then that's usually a good indication there isn't one.kobak
I hoped to find an answer too…Mark / t31os
You could migrate the data by hand… it would take a while but possible if you understand databases and their structures enough..
Would be a case of just creating a couple of test installs and moving data across the databases…
Or wait for someone to write a script…. though i'd not expect that to happen unless someone gets paid to do it, or someone good with code needs such a script and decides to write one.
You could look at doing it in steps…. if you can find the right scripts…
Pixelpost > someformat > someotherformat > wordpress …
Pixelpost > xml > wordpress …
Just ideas… 🙂
Found some info, may help get you started.
Also related:
I'm sure with some adjustments and hard work you could use that script to migrate… though you'd ideally need a professional to fix any errors, or re-write any areas that don't work…
I used that script tonight importing PP 1.1.1 to WP 2.8.2.
I made the code change as suggested by Krista in the comments section of the post. Everything worked except:
1. It imported the categories but not keep my posts assignment to the categories. It threw the posts into "uncategorized". I can live with this, though.
2. My comments didn't get imported, though. Anyone know how I can get these imported?
Well, the script works!
I was ready to handcode the comments into the database when I decided to delete the database and start fresh. After I deleted the database, created it again, and installed WordPress, I re-imported the Pixelpost using the script and for some odd reason, it worked this time! The comments and everything. Was it because I started with a fresh clean installed WordPress?
Again, the while it imported the categories, it didn't keep the post assignment to them. A minor thing compared to the daunting task of trying hand import the comments directly into the database itself!
YAY!Mark / t31os
Perhaps it would be beneficial to write up a brief run down on what you did to get the job done, for the sake of anyone else looking to do the same.
It's quite un-documented with exception to the odd page here and there, as i found when googling before..
Glad you got there in the end though…
Like you said, a few incorrectly assigned posts and such is small price if it does work…
Quite honestly, I'm not sure what I did differently this last time that I didn't do previously. I'm not a programmer but I'll try to explain what I did… 🙂
1. First although my new photoblog was going to be on a different domain, I created a WordPress "Test Blog" on the same domain as the old PixelPost photoblog.
2. I started with a clean install of WordPress.
3. I grabbed the script from this website:
You'll have to look down into the comments section to see the script link. I edited the script in 2 places where it says:
// Import Post data into WordPress
under that section, you'll find 2 instances of:
'post_content' => $body,
I changed both to read:
'post_content' => '<img src="http://www.myurl.com/wp-content/uploads/' . $image . '" alt="" />' . $body,
where the url was my actual new domain name. You don't want to have to change the url for every post once you move it to your new domain. 😉
4. I upload the script to the import directory located in the wp-content directory.
5. Now for me, my files were not set at 777 and the import script balked at this during previous attempts. So before running the import script on a clean WP install, I changed it to the correct permissions via FireFTP program in Firefox. I also created under uploads new directories of /2009/07 with 777 permissions. (use your current year/month for the directory names.)
I also uploaded all of my images from pixelpost images directory to my wp-content/uploads directory. You'll want to upload the images to where you indicated they would reside in the pixelpost import script. (see step 3 above)
6. Go into your WordPress admin to Tools -> Import. You'll see Pixelpost now listed among the software to import from.
7. Click on "PixelPost". It will then ask you for your PixelPost configuration such as:
Pixelpost Database User
Pixelpost Database Password
Pixelpost Database Name
Pixelpost Database Host (default is localhost)
Pixelpost Table Prefix (default is pixelpost_ )
When finished inputting information, click "Import Categories".
7. WordPress will then run the script to import categories, posts, and comments.
8. I then went to a post, clicked "Edit" and changed the URL of the photo to the local Test Blog url. I wanted to verify that I could actually see the image. I viewed my Test Blog and viola! All of my posts and comments were uploaded and viewable.
9. I then went and did a "Quick Edit" on each post to assign each to a category. The categories do import in but the posts did not keep their assignments to the categories. All posts were assigned to "uncategorized".
10. Finally, I exported my WordPress (Tools -> Export) and imported into the WordPress on my new domain name.
I don't know if there could have been a easier way of doing this import but at this moment, I'm happy! Now I can concentrate on designing the blog instead of fighting an import! 😉
Hope this helps someone!

FARC demands bilateral truce
The main left-wing rebel group in Colombia, FARC, has announced it will continue its military offensive, despite the resumption of peace talks with the government, aimed at signing a ceasefire by April.
A spokesman for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, Raul Reyes, said the rebels would only agree to a bilateral truce.
More than 80 have been killed in FARC attacks over the past 10 days.
President Andres Pastrana and other senior politicians have called on the rebels to cease their attacks and focus on finding a peaceful solution to the country's 38-year-old civil war.
Deal reached
The sides have been meeting inside a safe haven in southern Colombia which was ceded by the government to the FARC in 1998.
On Sunday, they reached an agreement which was the most concrete step towards peace in three years of negotiations.
But recent actions by FARC have undercut the optimism over Sunday's progress.
The guerrillas attacked the country's power supply, destroying 28 power lines, and forcing power rationing in several areas.
On Tuesday they set up road blocks, set two trucks on fire and hijacked another seven.
Paramililtaries intransigent
In an attack last Friday, guerrillas fired on a US helicopter that was escorting a drug crop-dusting plane, forcing it to make an emergency landing near rebel-held territory.
The pilot was evacuated unhurt with the rest of the crew, but five Colombian police officers sent to rescue the helicopter were killed in a fierce battle with some 300 heavily-armed FARC rebels.
The government has criticised FARC's actions, but at the same time it has not succeeded in gaining the cooperation of the right-wing paramilitaries.
The United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC), issued a statement saying it refused to join the ceasefire talks.
"The only thing we have to say to Mr Pastrana is that his good will gets confused with faintheartedness," the AUC said on Monday.
Call for US help
President Pastrana, meanwhile, has called on Washington to widen its involvement in Colombia's civil war, in order to secure the oil supply from the South American country to the United States.
Colombia is America's 10th-biggest provider of oil, but the supply is dwindling because of left-wing rebel attacks.
Mr Pastrana told the Associated Press news agency that he would ask to have American soldiers train Colombian troops to protect oil pipelines, bridges and other infrastructure from rebel attacks.
Until now, the US restricted its aid mainly to Colombia's efforts to combat narcotics.
"Today, the world is ready to unite against those who are attacking the interests of nations - and in this case the interest is energy," Mr Pastrana said.

Marker honoring Twine is up again
Aug. 31 will be the 15th anniversary of St. Augustine vice mayor Henry Twine's passing. In 2002, the city placed a round, blue marker at 163 Twine St. to honor the late city commissioner as a "Great Floridian." As time will have her wanton way with us, over the years insects ate their way up the wooden pole holding the marker. "It recently collapsed," said historian David Nolan. "Twine's sister-in-law, Betty Jean White, alerted me to this, and I asked City Commissioner Nancy Sikes-Kline if she would see about getting the pole replaced..." Just in time to mark the date of Twine's demise, the marker is back, mounted on a new pole.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- Seven days ago, Sergio Garcia wasn't even sure if he would be eligible to play in The Barclays for the start of the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup.
the Rant
Everybody who's sick of hearing about Michael Vick's preseason debut raise your hand. I see them, too many to count. But there isn't much we can do about it. When the NFL dresses up exhibition games in the big stadiums and on television, people need some reason to watch these things. And the media need something to talk or write about. Believe me, the people paid to cover these games are very bored. A Vick sighting is the most exciting thing to happen in the NFL preseason this year, which tells you something about these games. If the league played these games on the practice fields for $10-15, there would be a lot less Vick buzz for the league to deal with. -- Stuart Korfhage

My body: a (developing) love story
The number of advertisements that make us want to strip out of our skin and into something more slimming and youthful are more numerous than I would like to discuss. I've become wrapped up in the diet craze time and time again, though I've tried to mask it with words like "lifestyle change" or "getting healthy."
I soaked up those weight loss commercials like a sponge, ready to fit in with the images on the television. I decided to really get serious about my weight after I got engaged, telling myself that I would FINALLY slim down to become the skinny woman I deserved to be.
But then I decided to stop buying into all that crap.
I had always been a supporter of the body positive movement… for everyone but myself. I wanted every single person to feel good about his or herself, but I still made faces at myself when I looked in the mirror.
I still signed up for Weight Watchers for months at a time, swearing to myself that this would be the day that I stuck to it to be another success story. But by turning away from the narrow-minded beauty standards constantly being reinforced in all avenues of the media, I've learned that I am a success story.
We applaud people for losing weight, for having the willpower and self-discipline to cut out some calories, but what about applauding people just for being people? For making it through the difficulties of every day, for overcoming crappy attitudes and remembering to smile?
Can't we be proud of each and every one of ourselves for accomplishments that have little to do with how much we weigh? Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
Just recently, we learned about why the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch isn't interested in making or marketing clothing for those of us with a little bit of fluff. But instead of focusing on that, I think we all ought to hear about the responses to his hateful comments.
All of the people writing blog posts in response to his comments are reminding everyone that just because you're fat, doesn't mean you're subhuman. My favorite has been Amy Taylor's open letter, where she lets him know that there's not a single thing wrong with not being able to shop at A&F:
"…And while people like you are sitting at the cool kids table intent on holding others down, the ragtag team of not-so-cool kids is busy pulling others up… and we've become an unstoppable force driving the world forward."
So yeah, it stinks when you're surrounded with images of skinny-minis on TV, in magazines, and everywhere else in the world. But shouldn't we focus on changing that, instead of worrying so much about changing our bodies?
How about we raise our own voices to make them louder than the negative, body-shaming voices that have been in charge for far too long? Let's put body-lovin' images in the forefront of our media so we can stop feeling bad about ourselves.
Hannah Seward is a graduate student from Maryland working on her Master's in Sociology. She spends her days researching weight stigma, and her evenings cuddling with her catson. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Janet Hohbach on 05-22-2013Our society seems to embrace mainstream thought. It is easier to go with the popular mode of thinking-- it takes courage to stand up and say something different from the mainstream crowd. That strength should be embraced and emulated. Great piece.
Hannah on 05-22-2013Great point... I completely agree that we should embrace standing up to the mainstream and encourage open critiques, as hard as it may be. I have faith that we are moving towards that direction and beginning more and more to applaud those that do!
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! :)
Aunt Patti on 05-23-2013I totally agree!
Aunt Patti on 05-23-2013Where's the "like" button? :)

Pam R on 05-23-2013Thank you for this wonderful reminder to NOT wait until "someday when..." we are not fat, we are wealthy or we have a better job to be happy, love ourselves just the way we are and help others to do the same. Much gratitude for this perfectly-timed article!
Hannah on 05-24-2013I love that! The time is NOW :)
Thank you for reading! <3
Stephanie on 05-27-2013I know I'm often in that place, too, where I love everyone around me regardless of size, face, color, dress, or any other visual quality -- everyone except myself. It takes some reflection to realize that most people probably feel the same about me. Still, we're so hard on ourselves, aren't we? So self-absorbed to think our lives would be better appreciated if not for those extra pounds. Instead of shedding the weight, we should shed our attitudes. Heal from within and the without will follow!
Thanks for this. :)
Hannah on 05-28-2013Beautifully spoken.. Thank you for that! And thank you for reading :)
