On several sites the same thing happens: the original allignment of textfields is distorted. Please adress this issue, becuase it looks awful and unprofessional.
Hey BvM!
The code was updated to be more customizable using CSS styles.
To align the text fields on separate lines, like in the previous version of the form, please add this CSS to your theme's stylesheet:
#mc_signup_form .mc_input { display: block; }
Eep eep!
My alignment and color is askew. I'm pretty sure the CSS stylesheet-add in previous post with fix alignment, but color migration from footer up to body across the whole site needs support expertise.
Blue should only be in footer and header. Latest mailchimp plugin update migrated the blue to the body of the site.
Help is appreciated and thanks in advance!
I'm going to disable the plugin until a response is posted bc it looks so bad.
Hey bobish!
That does seem a bit odd and could be related to the WordPress theme.
We checked out the site, but it looks normal to us with the sand-colored background in the middle. I see the signup form is still on the site, though. Did you downgrade to 1.2.4 instead?
If you did downgrade, could you reinstall 1.2.5 and add the form to a private page using the [mailchimpsf_form] shortcode, just so we can take a look at the issue?
If you are still running 1.2.5, can you let us know the browser and operating system you are using so we can try to replicate?
Eep eep!
@ mc_van Thanks, that helped. No issue with colours as well. You've earned a banana!
But does everyone who wants to use the plugin add this code to all style sheets in the future?
Hey Bart!
It's really up to the user if they want to style the form with the labels above the fields or next to the fields. Freedom can be a tough imposition sometimes. :)
But we're happy to provide the necessary CSS code to revert the look of the form since it was a sudden change to some people.
Eep eep!

Good flavor but you have to watch the time. I put the cabbage in after 4 hours but had to take the potatoes out as they were done. The cabbage was done after another 1 1/2 hours. I think the recipe would probably work out time wise if cooked on low. I'll try it that way next time. I'd like for it to be a true load the crock pot and walk away recipe. And it may just be my crock pot.
We loved this recipe! I did adjust the times a bit. I added the potatoes and some carrots after about 4 1/2 hours and I added the cabbage after about 7 hours so it wouldn't be too soggy. It all turned out perfectly for our tastes. I did skip the onions because when I have added them early in the past they turn out too mushy, but next time I will try adding them with the potatoes or maybe even with the cabbage. I used a 4 pound corned beef and everything was done in 8 1/2 hours. Thanks, Bev, for the simple and delicious recipe!
Loved it! I looked for a Corned Beef and Cabbage receipe for our recent St Patrick's Day dinner. Wanted something tasty and simple and this recipe fit the bill to a T.
Reading other reviews on here, I took their advice and waited to put my cabbage and potatoes in. At the five hour mark, I added the cabbage, potatoes and a bag of baby carrots. Cooked on high for another hour and a half. Came out wonderfully!
The only changes I made was to delete the sugar (didn't miss it a bit) and add a bag of baby carrots. When I make this again, I would turn the heat down from high to low for a good portion of the time as the corned beef literally fell apart. While awesomely tasty, I would have preferred it slightly more firm.
Great recipe, however 8 hours is too long on high. After 6 and a half the cabbage wedges were coming apart. I served it then and the meat was crumbling under the knife blade as I sliced it. The whole meal was great but it cooked too long. The potatoes were creamy smooth and the carrots were okay.

Also, be advised, the size of my corned beef probably shrunk by about half.
have used this over and over. Excellent Recipe!!
Very yummy and easy. I made this exactly as written with great results. Thanks for posting this.
Very good! I omitted the sugar and didn't have a spice pack, so I used 3 bay leaves, 1/2 tsp. of black pepper and pinch of thyme. I stewed the cornbeef on low overnight, for about 12 hours and then added the cabbage and potatoes and cooked on high for another 4 hours. Very tasty, tender meat. A real keeper!
This was easy and delicious. I used 2.5 c water and added 3 cups of brussel sprouts instead of cabbage. I added the sprouts maybe an hour before serving that way they weren't so mushy. It's hard to cut hot beef, so take it out of the cooking liquid and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
This was really yummy! I've never actually had CB&C before, so I can't compare it, but I really enjoyed it. I used a corned silverside, because brisket is hard to come by in Australia. Ours doesn't come with the spice packet, so I just threw in some peppercorns and bay leaves. I also added some carrots and some whole cloves of garlic for more flavour. I forgot to put the cabbage in until the last hour or so, but somehow I think that was a good thing because I didn't want it to be mushy. I pulled out the potatoes and drained them well, and then tossed them in butter and chopped parsley. They were DELICIOUS.
Very good and easy! I followed the directions exactly. The 7-8 hours cooking was too long for our tastes, though. Next time I will cook for 6 hours. The beef was too tender to slice. We have never had corned beef in the crockpot, and we all loved the results. Thanks for a great recipe!

The bed was very comfy and cozy. The fridge, micro and coffee. The view of the river. Great deal for the price. Check in quick and efficient.

The was quite adequate for our needs. The front desk guy was indifferent to the point of being rude. But we slept through the night just fine. Enjoyed that the room was along the river.
We were told the room was non smoking. When we opened the door to the room it smelled horribly of smoke. The counters had burn marks.

After making such a big mistake of giving up the room I was called and told was ready, the lady working the front desk was apologetic.... please thank her for being so helpful and polite.
The fact I didn't get the room I wanted I was upstairs and wanted to be oh the ground... the room was cold and even though it was a smoking room, it smelled of stale smoke.

Foreign investors have continued buying Colombian-peso denominated government bonds, despite a weakening currency, says Michel Janna
Source: Speaking
The Andean country filled its bond needs for 2014 when
it issued a $2bn 30-year bond in late January taking
advantage of tighter spreads and high demand from investors.
But Michel Janna said that things were getting tougher for
Colombia and other Latin American countries as capital markets
are turning volatile.
"We'll probably have a higher interest rate,
higher financing rates than the ones we have enjoyed in the
past few years … but this is a new equilibrium, a new
reality and we have to be ready for it," he said.
He also warned that the local currency is coming under
pressure as a result of the Fed's efforts to
tighten monetary policy, which could deter investors from the
peso-denominated TES bonds.
"It's true that with the end of QE
we'll probably have a higher exchange rate than
last year," he said, adding that he still expected the exchange
rate to stay between 1,950 and 2,100 COP per dollar, a range
that finance minister Mauricio Cardenas has described as
The Colombian peso has weakened nearly 6.2% this year,
according to Central Bank data, and closed at 2,046.6 on
However, Janna said Colombia saw a 1% increase in foreign
holdings in its local bond market in January, a month in which
foreign investors pulled billions of dollars from EM funds
Colombia's success in the capital markets, he
said, is due to its fundamentals, including good economic
growth, low inflation and recent rating upgrades.
"That creates a suitable environment for investors, who see
Colombia as an emerging market that is different from the other
emerging markets that are having problems," he said.

Fine Art America is one of the largest, most-respected giclee printing companies in the world with over 40 years of experience producing museum-quality prints. All of our prints are produced on state-of-the-art, professional-grade Epson printers. We use acid-free papers and canvases with archival inks to guarantee that your prints last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
Alpine skiers (downhill skiers) may prefer to enjoy this winter sport in the less controlled environment that heli-skiing offers. "White Magic" was printed as art cards and used as Christmas cards by the Canadian Olympic Association. The thrill of shooting through untouched powder over a pristine mountain ridge gives you a definite feeling of exhilaration and freedom. It produces an irrefutable adrenaline rush and the knowledge that if you can survive this jump you can conquer the mountain and the world. This is the moment, the feeling of magic that I have tried to convey in this watercolor painting of an anonymous skier. I am equally excited to paint a skier or ski scene as sports wall mural.
CONTACT ME for painting commissions and inquiries about original paintings. Born in Aachen, Germany, I grew up in Ontario, Canada, where I still live with my husband (the love of my life) and family, from which comes the inspiration for much of my work. My vibrant watercolors, acrylic and oil paintings cannot be labelled in only one category. My paintings reflect my life: enriched with excitement as well as quiet times. My fascination with capturing a flash of movement in a motionless art form is evident in my sports paintings and energetic portraits. Moments of tenderness are reflected in my still life art, gardens and landscapes. Humor and silliness reflect in my fantasy illustrations. Many aspects of my life are mirrored in...

5 Ridiculous Robocraft Robot Designs
Now that I've put in nearly 5 hours of my time on Robocraft I've realized that it's draw isn't really on the combat. You can take away multiplayer and you'll still be able to have fun with the game. I've read in a lot of articles about the game and how it's being compared to Minecraft. Well, to be honest the most apt comparison for the game would be Lego. Not the Lego videogames but Lego "build-anything-you-can-think-of" blocks itself. Every time I go into a multiplayer match I get to see some awesome and a lot of really ridiculous Robocraft robot designs.
I listed down some of the more ridiculous robot designs I found on Youtube for our enjoyment.
5. The Crazy Rocking Horse
Some of you might find Youtuber DionDiBlank a bit annoying (I sure do) but you got to give props to the man for covering games like Unturned and Robocraft. He's also come up with some amazing and ridiculously stupid (in a good way) robot designs like the Rocking Horse.
4. The "Skyscraper"
This is another of DionDiBlank's crazy (and in this case uninspired) Robocraft robot designs. Unlike the Rocking Horse it does look like it's a bit more stable. Even so it's design is just so bad that you're actually rooting for the other robots to shoot at it.
3. The Simple Helium-less Flyer
The Simple Helium-less Flyer is ridiculous because it's so simple yet it actually works! Youtuber Jonny Macqueen came up with the design and posted it on the Robocraft forums. It is pretty impressive considering it probably took him less than an hour to make. Additionally, this could be made by any Tier 1 player.
4. The Fighter Jet
Another ridiculous build by Jonny Macqueen that you wouldn't think would actually fly.
5. The Super/Heavy Bomber
The Heavy Bomber by Youtuber Kiam McCue is seriously one of the most ridiculous Robocraft robot designs around because of how overpowered it is.
Now that Robocraft has hit more than a million registered players it's probably safe to say that we can expect a lot more of these crazy designs.
Liked this list? Well, hit up the comments and tell us what you think. Better yet, share your ridiculous Robocraft robot designs with us!

Red Hat's Chairman to Step Down in August
Matthew J. Szulik will not seek re-election to Red Hat's Board of Directors.
Chairman and former CEO of Red Hat Matthew J. Szulik submitted his resignation to the board of directors Wednesday and will leave the company effective August 12.
"I am at a stage in my life when I would like to have more time and energy available to devote to my family and some of my persona interests outside of Red Hat," Szulik said in his resignation letter that was submitted to the SEC on May 26.
Szulik has been involved with Red Hat for more than a decade serving as both CEO and president. During his time at Red Hat, Szulik was awarded a CIO 20/20 honor from CIO Magazine in 2002. During his time as CEO, Red Hat entered the One Laptop per Child initiative, reached its one millionth deployment and achieved an estimated US$ 1 billion in cash reserves.
According to SEC filings, Szulik began buying large volumes of discounted Red Hat stock and selling it at market value in April. Of the US$ 80 million he's made this year off of Red Hat stock, just over half of it has been generated in the last 64 days. Currently, Red Hat (RHT) is trading for US$ 29.58.
No word yet on his replacement, but we'll update the story when more details come through.

| DorkishGurl chapter 1 . 12/27/2014
I love that ending ;)
| save the sharks chapter 20 . 4/9/2014
OMG! This was amazing! I love the ending. The Thorian being the one who made the Reapers. I love it!
| chainline chapter 13 . 3/28/2014
This girl needs a cold shower! Great writing!
| brooklynrhyno chapter 20 . 7/28/2013
Holy crap. I knew it was too good to be true! Awesome work.
| AmberAkia chapter 20 . 7/4/2013
I'm just...blown away by this story. It's exactly how I'd want my ending (sexy scenes were a bonus) but I love your writing style. I hope we see more stories from you!
| R3-1 M4y3r chapter 20 . 5/16/2013
This was truly a magnificently hot story. Loved it! And much needed, still upset that Vega wasn't a possible pairing in the game, this helped ease some of the annoyance about that.
Thank you so much for sharing!
| eboncat chapter 12 . 3/20/2013
Bahaha! Intergalactic weed. Awesome twist to the story :D
| eboncat chapter 9 . 3/20/2013
Bahahaha! Awesome chapter.
Though I'm not sure what Shep is freaking out about, since the rather gigantic and eminently fuckable mass of James was shielding her from most of the scrutiny lol.
Mmmmm the joys of "I really freaking hope this isn't as public as it feels" sex lol.
| gregories chapter 20 . 12/30/2012
The one upside to FFN vs. dA: I can favorite an entire story here without having to select every single chapter (at least that I've discovered). I've already given the more detailed reviews on the latter site, but for anyone who peruses these and is teetering on their decision to start reading:
| xNightRuby chapter 20 . 12/29/2012
One of my favourite stories i ever read! oh the lemony parts were amazing and the plotline was just as awesome as the hot scenes! i loved it! ty so much for that! ill remember mass effects ending in this way rather then it did in the final game. ty for the wonderful story!
| gregories chapter 1 . 12/18/2012
While this is by no means short, you certainly know how to give the audience their read's worth. I don't think I've ever gotten so much of an enticing tale out of one chapter before. I can tell how it could have been left as a one shot and still been marvelous - I can't wait to read on and see what else is in store!
| silvergryphon06 chapter 20 . 12/4/2012
Awesome story! I was actually supposed to be working on a paper for school, but your work sucked me in; I just couldn't help it. Amazingly written, super hot, and thoroughly enjoyable! :D
| laughingwarrior chapter 20 . 11/30/2012
This is a fantastic story. I love Vega, and this Shep reminds me a lot of mine. The romance is totally in character and believable. You write great dialogue, btw.
I'm not one who really needs a happy ending, but your ME3 ending is excellent and makes complete sense! The Thorian! Of course! Sooo much better than the actual endings!
I'm just starting to write my own fic, and your work is an inspiration. :)
| MrQuinlansBloodDoll chapter 20 . 11/3/2012
THAT was one of the BEST fanfictions I have EVER read! I'm posting this on Tumblr and Facebook, is it okay if I post it there? D
| Aphina chapter 20 . 9/21/2012
Woot! I have finally had the time to go back to this story and I have to tell you how much I adore it. The way you portray is so in tune with the char we come to know and love in ME3. I always thought it was a shame that you couldn't romance him in the game. Zoe Shepard is such a wonderful OC. You write her in such a way that the audience can't help but identify with her. All her flaws are representations of humanity and that is one of the things that everybody on The Normandy are struggling to protect. The combination of her and James together is potent and stunning. The chemistry basically sizzles on the page and the love scenes are imaginative, caring and HOT!
I have to say I also particularly enjoyed the way you integrated Kaidan's past relationship with Shepard into the story. I think the way you handled James's reaction to that was superb and I adore Kaidan and Steve as a pairing. You have completely converted me to them. The only devastating thing is, you are the only person to ever write a story about just the two of them. (Which by the way was fantastic)
I can't wait to see more from you and I keep my fingers crossed that you keep writing!
Hope your having a great night!

Happy 21st anniversary to the most important FPS in my life
Dec 10
// Brett Makedonski
By the time my birthday rolled around, there was only one thing I wanted -- Final Doom. My parents delivered and then some, as I unwrapped both Final Doom and Doom II that year. The latter held a bit more shock value as it had me staring down John Romero's severed head and murdering childhood figure Commander Keen. Doom was also my introduction to online play. Again, kind of. My computer-savvy uncle worked some networking magic to make it so that friend and I could play Final Doom over the phone line from our respective houses. In hindsight, one-on-one deathmatch wasn't the most thrilling multiplayer, but at the time, it felt like the future. The funny thing is, there are many ways this story could've gone differently. Right around the same time as my introduction to Doom, GoldenEye 64 came out. If I had played that first, it may have significantly diminished my love for Doom. The same can be said for other first-person shooters such as Wolfenstein. But, as it stands, Doom was foot in the door to FPS games and the world of PC gaming. Suddenly, my Sega Genesis seemed a bit dated. Just like Chris last year, it's impossible to deny what an effect Doom had on my life. It may not have been Doom proper that I played over and over, but it obviously laid all the groundwork for those future titles that I loved so much. It wasn't until years later that I tried the original Doom, but the sentiment held up, much to my delight. Now that you're of age, let me buy you a beer, Doom. It's the least I can do. [Image]

Wii U development drama: Nintendo's box is a Nintendo-box

This mob-anointed expose on the Wii U comes at a time where it fits the narrative neatly. The Wii U is doing badly, barring unreleased holiday numbers of peculiar goodness (Wind Waker HD drove sales up several hundred percent and the holidays were deemed "very strong" by Reggie). However, the Eurogamer-hosted piece is clearly covering pre-console-launch shenanigans and tribulations, which isn't necessarily indicative of how the company has handled itself since or how development woes are affecting the Wii U's prosperity. What it is is an interesting snapshot in time by one of many people developing for the Wii U. Some of the recount can be telling. The apparent pitch for, "a console that was the same size as the Wii and wouldn't make much noise, so 'mum wouldn't mind having it in the living room,'" could hint at Nintendo's attempts to recapture the Wii's sales lightning in a Tesla-coiled bottle. It's certainly catchy, the notion that senior Nintendo officials feigned ignorance as to how Xbox Live or PSN worked. Still, the Wii U, including Nintendo's approach with it, has surely evolved from concept pitches and development unit issues. Just look at how hard Nintendo has campaigned the Wii U as an indie haven after launch, for example, trying to make it easier on developers to get games onto the system. Dan Adelman, who helped developed Xbox Live, is Nintendo's Business Development Manager. He has broken down age old barriers that made it difficult for small outfits to become registered Nintendo developers. The responses in this "drama" are levelheaded and plain. Chris Arnold of Nami Tentou explained that points made in the Eurogamer article are based on "pre-retail release SDK problems" and that "the new post release SDK kits do not contain any of the listed problems." This all feels like a response to the hundreds of comments and arguments the topic has incited more than counters to the original article. The Eurogamer piece wasn't, "Wii U has no games right now because development is a nightmare." It's, "pre-console-launch development was a struggle and possibly because of this a lot of people with money hats put their bets on Sony/Microsoft." Of course, there will always be back and forth here. Apparently Darksiders II came along for the Wii U in those early days swimmingly -- though one of the anonymous developer's biggest hitches did seem to be on the online infrastructure end. 5th Cell was okay with the Wii U's power. Hideki Kamiya, curt as always, seemed okay developing The Wonderful 101. But, really, everyone is probably right. The anonymous developer had their trouble. Watsham and company seemed to have had an okay time on the Wii U. Arnold gave a plain reminder that these problems are no longer an issue currently impeding development, whatever their legacy may be. This just exposes the same nerve we've been rubbing up against since the N64. The Wii U is a Nintendo-Box. It is, first and foremost, the way to play Nintendo games that Nintendo makes for you, as most Nintendo consoles have been for some time. Barring the lunatic commenters who arbitrarily want to see a company (Nintendo) fail, all of these 600+ comment threads, all of this back and forth, stems from people wanting more games and concern over the release landscape. There are would-be Nintendo fans who want to invest in the system, there are Wii U owners uncomfortable with the checkered release calendar and inexplicably still uncomfortable with the idea of owning a system dedicated, primarily, to Nintendo games. I love the GameCube. A lack of third-party support is said to be what hurt the little lunchbox that could. My favorite GameCube games are third-party, but Nintendo has never and likely will never aggressively lobby third-parties. And maybe it doesn't need to. With the Wii U, Nintendo has, again, firmly entrenched itself aloof of where Sony and Microsoft are headed. It's unlikely for the company to pull a SEGA as so many would like. Nintendo doesn't like to sell systems at a loss. Nintendo's software pulls in mad cash for it. The 3DS is explosive -- its 2013 software sales shot up almost 50%. The Eurogamer piece, a singular snapshot into over a year ago, reads as doom and gloom because the Wii U reads as doom and gloom. Because the internet wants to argue about this and that (and, especially, tell Nintendo what it needs to do). And, hey, maybe Nintendo should farm out some IP to capable developers, like it did successfully with the amazing Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The Wii U is, first and foremost, a box that lets you play Nintendo games. It's been the case for a while. Everything else is gravy. Nintendo would love Wii-caliber sales, but it seems to be doing okay with its current position, playing its own long game. The Wii U is still sustainable. A pubescent, PS3-styled push isn't out of the question (see also: 3DS). Other games -- the weird and different and cool -- will trickle in. Nintendo games will do gangbusters. Being "hard to develop for" didn't sink the PS3 and there's no need to trip beyond mild interest over rocky pre-launch tech when development works now. GameCube wasn't terribly profitable hardware as Nintendo slashed prices to compete. Just look at the price of Nintendo games years after release. Nintendo doesn't like slashing prices. If the Wii U was counting on AAA support parity with PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Nintendo would've made a pricier, comparable box. STFUAJPG, I guess. Even on the Wii U, there are some good ones. And if you've played them all, buy a Vita and play those while you wait for Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros.
Everyone is right. The Wii U still needs games.
There was a bit of gloom and Nintendoom over the weekend. An anonymous, chronological account of Wii U development hit Eurogamer. It begins as early as Nintendo touring studios for feedback on its next console venture and end...

Are your sure that the iPad is not asking you to CREATE a passcode. It will do this as part of the iOS 7 upgrade. If the device is truly asking for a passcode and it is now locked take a look at this Apple support page

I recall reading somewhere that Melinda Snodgrass was unhappy about how Brent Spiner objected to her story that gave Data a lot more emotions. While I do sympathize with an actor wanting to remain consistent with previous performances, he was the one who pushed to use the emotion chip in Star Trek: Generations to give him more to do. I think we can all agree that whatever Melinda had in mind for Data in this episode probably wouldn't have been as glaring or over the top as it was in Generations.
Remember, "Generations" came years later, and by that point the writers and Spiner all felt they'd kind of exhausted other avenues with Data, and the chip was the next logical step. Beginning of season 3 was too soon for a lot of what Snodgrass was suggesting...

After touring Cannes, France last week and unexpectedly parting with some "sentimental" items in her luggage, Kim Kardashian was looking to let loose.
So on Sunday, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star made a beeline for Beyonce's concert at Revel's Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., for a night of dancing and singing along with the songstress's chart-topping hits.
Backstage, Kardashian, 31, got a chance to chat with the woman of the evening herself, and the pair were seen greeting each other with an embrace and dancing together. Beyonce's husband of four years, Jay-Z, is best friends with Kanye West, Kardashian's serious boyfriend.
"Kim thought it was such a great show," a source tells Us Weekly. "There's always some random rumors there is tension between them, and there totally isn't! Kim had so much fun."
PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian's rough year
The E! star is one of several A-listers who made it out to Beyonce's four-concert weekend, which marked her post-baby performance debut since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy in January.
On Saturday, first lady Michelle Obama, 48, and her daughters Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, watched the show from a private box where they did the "Single Ladies" dance together and rocked out to "Crazy in Love." Oprah's BFF Gayle King sat nearby.
PHOTOS: The Obama family album
During Saturday's encore, Beyonce, 30, revealed to the sold-out venue that she had lost a whopping 60 pounds since giving birth.
"Y'all have no idea how hard I worked! They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce!" she told her fans. "Now tonight I'm gonna get chocolate wasted!"

The Somerset region
Exmoor really has something for everyone, it is a place full of contrasts; dramatic coastlines of plunging cliffs, sheltered bays and historic ports, wide open space and wilderness of the moors as well as the wooded valleys with quiet trails for you to enjoy. Exmoor is a holiday destination of unrivalled beauty and interest.
There is so much to see and do on Exmoor - here are some of our suggestions. The local Visitor Centres will also be able to provide you with a vast amount of information about the area and suitable attractions.
Porlock Weir
Situated in a quiet corner of West Somerset, Porlock Weir is nestled in a sheltered spot beneath the moor along the beautiful coastline - where the moor meets the sea.
Porlock Weir is one of the most beautiful places in Somerset. It is located 1.5 miles from the coastal village of Porlock and is in the heart of Exmoor National Park.
The port of Porlock Weir has a long and colourful history but today it's a quiet harbour and a thriving community that welcomes tourists every year, many of whom come to enjoy the pretty scenery, shops, tea rooms, great ale and award winning local cuisine.
Porlock Weir is a great destination for anyone looking for the perfect setting for a holiday in the great outdoors! There's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.

A Sick Day for Amos McGee
by Philip C. Stead, Erin E. Stead (Illustrator)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The theme is friendship and taking care of one another.
I really enjoyed reading A Sick Day for Amos McGee. The plot was very fascinating, the illustrations enhanced the story, and the characters were adorable. The story was focused around a man named Amos McGee who worked at the zoo. Everyday he would do different things with each animal like race the turtle or play chess with the elephant. When Mr. McGee gets sick, the animals come to his home and do all the activities. The plot is repetitive since each activity is done multiple times, but it is very effective. It flowed very well and kept the reader interested and laughing. The illustrations by Erin E. Stead were very well-done and really added to the story. To see an image of the elephant sitting in Amos McGee's bed with him really made the reader picture the story and laugh. I loved the illustrations, they added to the plot and made it so much more interesting. My favorite part of the story was definitely the characters. Amos McGee was the main character and he was very well-developed. The reader grew to love Mr. McGee quickly through reading the story. The supporting characters were all of the zoo animals and while they weren't very well-developed characters but they definitely added to the story and really helped to build Amos McGee as a character. The big message sent in this story was definitely focused on friendship and caring; the main idea was that good friends who care about each other will go out of their way to care about their friends. Altogether this story was phenomenal and it definitely deserved a Caldecott award.
This book is my favorite children's book. This book involves kids' imagination and sends a message of treating others the way you want others to treat you. This fantasy picture book geared towards 3rd and 4th graders educates about the importance of caring for others. I love this book dearly because it uses an adorable plot to teach that lesson. The versatility in this book is astonishing and it can be used to teach more than one message or reading skill.
Summary: Amos McGee does the same thing the same way everyday and he visits his favorite animals at the zoo everyday. One day he wakes up and he has a cold and doesn't go to visit his friends at the zoo. The animals start to worry about him so they go and see him at home.
Personal Reaction:
I think this is a great story for kids because it shows how friends care for each other.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
- The students can give examples of how to be kind to their friends
Amos McGee starts his morning routine exactly the same every day. He heads to work to go see his animal friends at the zoo. But one day he Amos gets sick and his animal friends are sad that he hasn't came to see them and they decide to catch the bus and go take care of him. In the end, all the things Amos did for his animal friends are switched with the animals performing a roll similar to what he does with them.
This was a very cute story because the animals were so sad that Amos didn't show up but they decided to return the favor to Amos and go see him instead.
To add to this story, the children could illustrate their own scenario of what animal friend they would go see and what they would do with them just like Amos does with his friends. The children could also come up with an alternate part to the story such as if instead of Amos getting sick, what would the animals do if he had to move away or what will happen when Amos retires.

"Amos McGee, a friendly zookeeper, always made time to visit his good friends: the elephant, the tortoise, the penguin, the rhinoceros, and the owl. But one day--'Ah-choo!'--he woke with the sniffles and the sneezes. Though he didn't make it into the zoo that day, he did receive some unexpected guests."--Dust jacket.… (more)

text: I was in the area and opted for the Plumsteadville Inn. The restaurant is located downstairs and provides excellent options. The bar includes live music and is not overly loud but rather a welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spacious, clean and charming. Very nice hotel staff and a relaxing stay.
