Working his way on a transatlantic cruise liner, Sirio Maccioni dazzled New York with his charm and acumen for hospitality. Working at the famed Colony Club as a maitre d'hotel in thelate 1960s, Sirio developed his first taste for the New York restaurant business. Then in 1974, Sirio opened what was destined to become a New York landmark – Le Cirque, which literally translates as"the circus" in French, at the Mayfair Hotel. In 1997, Le Cirque outgrew its original location and relocated to a larger space in the New York Palace Hotel under the name Le Cirque 2000. By 2004, LeCirque was an established New York City landmark and decided to move to the prestigious Bloomberg Building on East 58th Street and finally opened its doors in May of 2006.
Although over the years,monkeys, circus balls and tent shades have become symbolic representations of the restaurant, but Le Cirque's most recognizable feature is Sirio Maccioni himself. Staying very much a family-ownedbusiness, all three of Sirio's sons-- Mario, Marco and Mauro-- followed in their father's footsteps and can be seen working at Le Cirque's multiple locations and sister restaurants. Sirio's wife, Egidiana,can often be found overseeing the kitchen at our Tuscan inspired restaurant, Osteria del Circo.
While restaurant has as many stars to their credibility as celebrity clientele, Le Cirque and SirioMaccioni have helped launch the careers of many illustrious chefs – Daniel Boulud, David Bouley, Terrance Brennan, Alain Sailhac, Rick Moonen, Jacques Torres, Sottha Khun, Sylvain Portay, ChristopheBellanca, Michael Lomonaco, Alain Allegretti, Pierre Schaedelin, Bill Telepan, Alex Stratta and Geoffrey Zakarian to name a few.
In December of 2008, Le Cirque's current chef, Craig Hopson, joinedthis impressive team of culinary legends. His classical French training and New York City background as chef de cuisine at Picholine and Executive Chef at One if By Land, Two if By Sea prepared him...

The 32-year-old is currently back-up for Allan McGregor at Ibrox.
He said: "The manager has spoken to me in the past year about trying to get a new contract sorted. I have a year left but it would be great to extend it.
"I love being at Rangers and I want to be part of a squad chal lenging for trophies and playing in big games for the next few years.
"We spoke about it last Januar y and tried to get it sorted.
"However, with the situation surrounding the club , we didn't quite manage to get there.
"But I've spoken to my agent and I'm get t ing things sorted.
"I know the club has things going on and I am not a high priority at the moment but so long as I'm wanted by Rangers, I want to stay.
"Maybe by the time Christmas comes around we can get everything sorted out for me to sign."

The start of the 2017-18 Premier League season is just around the corner and is shaping up to be one of the most competitive yet.
As always it is the so called "big clubs" that have splashed the most cash in the transfer window so far this summer. Manchester United or City? Arsenal or Tottenham? Who are the winners and losers of the transfer window so far?

Contributor comments on own post
Should a contributor be able to comment on their own post without moderation? Even if the blog's discussion settings are set to 'an administrator must always approve comments'?
We have a multisite where we have one user per school class. For example if Alice posts one thing (logged in as y6cc), and then Bob comments (as y6cc), the comment gets published straight away. Ideally, I would like all comments to require moderation.

Year 2
08 June 2017
What we learnt about this week
Dear Parents,
This week in English, we have been researching and writing our own report about an endangered animal.
In Maths, we have started a new topic, 'Measurement'. We identified units of length and distance and learned when to use them.
In Science, we have been exploring food chains and completing an end of topic assessment on 'Living Things'.
In First Language Mandarin, we have been learning new vocabulary about different seasons.
In Second Language Mandarin, we have been learning about how to tell the time, using language such as quarter, hour, minute and seconds.
What we plan for next week
Next week in English, we will be completing our 'Reports' topic and start looking at our new book, Diary of a Killer Cat.
Next week in Maths, we will continue to explore measurement by looking at capacity.
Next week in Science, we will be spending time closing the gap on various areas of the topic 'Living Things'.
Next week in First Language Mandarin, we will be using our knowledge of different seasons to describe them verbally and through writing tasks.
Next week in Second Language Mandarin, we will be using their knowledge of time to talk about when they wake up, have break time, have their lunch and go to sleep.
Homework will be given out on Thursday and we ask that homework be handed in on Tuesday. This week's homework consists of handwriting practice, one side of Maths, one side of English. As well as this, we ask that your child is reading the Oxford Reading Tree book as well as any other reading materials daily.
Your child's Edmodo username and password is in their school planner if you and your child would like to access Edmodo to revisit educational games and activities.
How you can help your child at home
- Encourage healthy eating habits - healthy snacks and lunches, and a water bottle
- Provide a calm environment for your child to study
- Praise efforts and encourage your child to be independent
- Refer to your child's timetable for reminders about library and PE (wear PE uniform on PE days!)
- Help your child to develop a love of reading- Give praise, use reading as a reward, write in their Home Reader book (Yellow book!).

apple tart
Apple Tart:
adapted from Ina Garten's "French Apple Tart"
You'll Need:
1 pie dough (recipe here)
3 organic Breaburn apples- peeled,cored, and sliced
2 Tbsp. cold unsalted organic butter – cut into small cubes
3 Tbsp. organic pure cane sugar
3 Tbsp. organic brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon ( if you like cinnamon, freely add some more!)
Place rolled out pie dough in a tart dish and trim edges off (no need to flute the edges). Be sure to poke holes in the bottom of the dough, so it doesn't bubble. Place dough in a 400 degree oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. It should turn a very light golden brown, let cool. Peel apples and cut into halves, making sure to cut out seeds and core. Slice all three apples into 1/4inch pieces and fan the apples in rows or in a circle around cooled tart crust. Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar. Places cubes of butter on top of apples and bake for 30-35 minutes (depending on the cook-temp of your oven.) Take out of oven, but don't let it cool for too long!! It's best served warm with a scoop of ice cream and dare I say…whipped cream!

Hi Jamie.
Congratulations on this great blog.

Many thanks in advance,

Jamie, this looks delicious! Pears would be yummy too.

CONCORD, N.C. —Kurt Busch's Great Memorial Day Weekend Adventure had an ambitious agenda: 1,100 miles of racing, a 430-mile private-plane flight and lots of water.
When you are driving two mean machines back-to-back, it's as much about hydration as it is hydraulics.
Busch pushed through his physical issues, but his car wasn't as strong. His engine blew several cylinders on Lap 273 of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday night, preventing him from completing the daunting daily double: the Indianapolis 500 in the afternoon, and then driving in the longest race of the NASCAR season at night.
"It's like the car just swallowed three cylinders all at once," Busch said. "Those things happen in motor sports. It was a good battle, though. I was hoping to do 1,100 miles today. I can't let what happened here dampen the mood of what happened in Indianapolis."
Busch did just fine for a guy driving in his first IndyCar race, finishing sixth.
Busch tied his current NASCAR team owner, Tony Stewart, and Robby Gordon with the highest finish in the Indianapolis 500 for a driver attempting to complete both races on the same day. Only four drivers have attempted the double-double.
He arrived via helicopter —accompanied by his girlfriend Patricia Driscoll and her son —at Charlotte Motor Speedway at 4:53 p.m. but not in time to make it to the drivers meeting, forcing him to start at the rear of the field.
He did manage to get in a 20-minute catnap and also replenished his fluids with 1 ½ bags of a saline solution.
Jimmie Johnson took the checkered flag Sunday night for his first win of 2014, breaking a tie with Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip for most victories at Charlotte. He now has seven, the most among all drivers.

Citigroup Asset-Swap Talks Aim to Avoid Investor Conflict

text: I am rebuilding my 1976 YZ175C and have come to the point where I need to set the ignition timing. I find there are three slash marks on the stator, and a single mark on the crank piece. The center mark is longer than the marks to the left and right of center on the stator. When I pulled the engine down I found the engine timing was set with the stator being rotated fully clockwise to the end of the slots. The timing mark on the crank piece was well in front of the 3 marks on the stator. I bought this bike new in 1976 and I am the only owner. This is the first time the engine cover has ever been removed, so that is the way the timing was set at the factory. I find it hard to believe the factory set it that way, but it is how the engine timing was set at the factory. The bike always ran well. So now comes my question: Having set the engine at .083 BTDC the mark on the crank piece lines up perfectly with the longer center mark ........ IF the stator is rotated fully counter clockwise to the end of the slots. Can someone explain what the 3 marks mean and where do I align the mark on the crank piece to achieve correct timing? I see no reference to the 3 marks in the manual. Thanks to anyone who cares to post a comment. pg

Both Sasori and Sakura is very skinny here, Joe. I know it shouldnt be too much fat, but some are good. It's just creepy when they are too thin and their ribs begin to appear (and that goes in real-life as well). Another thing you should work on is drawing dicks. Personally, I think they should be that long. Average size is good. That looks a bit exaggerated. It looks more like a shot gun than a dick.
