Tea time: The levies will support British jobs, says Emma Bridgewater

The boss of pottery firm Emma Bridgewater says the new EU tariffs on Chinese ceramic imports will save jobs in Britain.

The levies punish Chinese makers of ceramic tableware for allegedly selling them below cost, a practice known? as ?dumping?.

Matthew Rice said: ?It?s an uneven playing field as the Chinese subsidise their ceramic industry ? giving them energy and property for free ? whereas we are buying ours. Understandably also they benefit from the different wage levels in Stoke in Shanghai. The tariff [which started on Friday] should help support jobs in Stoke.?

2 remain missing after oil platform fire

NEW ORLEANS ?

The search continued Saturday for two missing workers after an oil platform fire in the Gulf of Mexico.

The platform, which is located about 25 miles off the Louisiana coast, is owned by Black Elk Energy.

Authorities said the blaze ignited when workers were using a torch to cut an oil line. The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident.

Officials with Black Elk Energy said Saturday that four workers remained hospitalized.

Black Elk Energy President and Chief Executive Officer John Hoffman arrived at the platform by helicopter Saturday morning to conduct an evaluation with safety and investigative personnel.

The platform was not operating at the time of the fire.

Visual reports on Saturday indicated no sheen could be found on the water's surface.

Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Apple Martini & The ... - Food Babbles

Post image for Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Apple Martini & The Weekend Whisk ? 11/17/12

As you read this, I?m probably a giant ball of stress this morning. Tomorrow is a big birthday party for both Maddy, who just turned 3 the other day and Molly, who just turned 1 two weeks ago! We had to cancel Molly?s birthday party due to Hurricane Sandy so now we?re having a gigantic celebration for both girls. I had two very specific themes for each party and I had done some preplanning so I already had supplies for both parties. For Molly?s party, I was going to do a rainbow-themed party and Maddy is a huge fan of rainbow sprinkles so I was building a party around that love. So, tomorrow I?ll be combining both themes! You should see my Pinterest board for the occasion.

Maddy as a baby. She just turned 3!

Today I?ll be whipping up a 6 layer (!!!) rainbow cake decorated with rainbow sprinkles, rainbow Rice Krispie treats, jello cups that are rainbow layers, rainbow fruit skewers, strawberries and marshmallows will be dipped in chocolate then dipped in rainbow sprinkles, and so much more! If everything goes as planned, I?ll combine both themes all the way through to the decorations, party hats and goodie bags.

Molly a year ago. Maddy & Molly these days. Growing up SO fast!

Oh did I mention Mike is working all day today? Oh yes, this should be fun. I?ll be trying to accomplish all of this with both little ones underfoot. Thank goodness I?ll have HB home to give me a hand with them otherwise nothing would get accomplished. So wish me luck today! I?m gonna need it. By the end of the day, I?m going to be ready to kick back, relax and have one of these Smirnoff Kissed Caramel Apple Martinis in my hand.

Remember when I was telling you about?Pie Party and that amazing Salted Caramel Pie with Toasted Coconut Crust? Oh yeah, it was quite the shindig. Tons of pie, appetizers, and drinks were a flowin? thanks to one of our generous sponsors,?Smirnoff. After gorging myself on pie, what was even better was I had the opportunity to take one of Smirnoff?s new flavors home with me to play with. In my hand I had a bottle of?Smirnoff Kissed Caramel?and boy oh boy, was I excited!

When I got home I decided to take my Kissed Caramel for a spin and made myself a caramel apple martini. I mixed together Smirnoff Kissed Caramel with apple cider and a little ginger. It was warm, smooth and the perfect autumn cocktail. Garnish with a fresh apple slice which is nice to munch on afterward, if you like to eat your garnish like I do. After making this drink, I can?t wait to experiment more. ?In the meantime, below you?ll see what was going on here this week as always. I hope you all had a fabulous week and are gearing up for some relaxation this weekend.

Enjoy!

Babbles Bookmarks:

Eggnog Cookies from Savory Simple:?I am NOT a fan of eggnog. At all. It?s thick and I can?t really get down with it. But I like it baked into stuff, like these cookies. These cookies are made with eggnog and what?s even better? An eggnog glaze. Oh yeah.

Parmesan Pound Cakes from Jules Food:?Cake 1?is dense but with a light flavor and a hint of lemon, Cake 2?is a vanilla bean version, Cake 3?has ?a light crumb and texture? with cream cheese in the batter and meringue that gets folded in. That?s right, three parmesan pound cakes and I?m completely totally intrigued by them all. I really like pound cake and I can?t say that I?ve ever even had one with parmesan cheese in it. I will make all three of these lovely cakes at some point.

Goat Cheese Pasta with Spinach & Roasted Mushrooms from Two Peas & Their Pod:?Well, it?s no secret around here how obsessed I am with goat cheese. This pasta with veggies and creamy goat cheese folded in is getting made for dinner ASAP. Seriously.

The Fullcurl of Life: Home Improvement #2 "Autumn's Room"
















Replacing the carpets in all the bedrooms has been the next big project. Autumn's room was first. The floor replacement morphed into a total re-do. The floor boards were made out of 1/4 plywood. Amy designed the paint scheme. We still need to install new trim around the doors and window, someday tackle the popcorn ceiling (whoever thought that was a good idea? ), and Amy wants to do some more decorating but for now the girls seem to be enjoying their "new" room. Next project: master bedroom floors.

Week 12 College Football Injury Report: Latest News and Updates

College football is entering Week 12, and things are beginning to heat up as the season nears its conclusion.?

Some teams have dominated for the majority of the year and are desperately trying to hold on for several more weeks; other teams have struggled and are running out of time to piece together a strong finish to the season.?

Either way, teams need their star players on the field in order to accomplish their final goals, but injuries certainly add up this late into the season.?

Here are several key injuries from around the country, along with the current status for each injury heading into Saturday's action.?

?

RB Knile Davis, Arkansas (Hamstring)

Status: Expected to Play

Knile Davis had 1,322 rushing yards and 14 total touchdowns in 2010, but injuries have limited him in 2012, forcing him to miss the last two games entirely (after he missed all of 2011).?

Hamstring injuries are painful and frustrating for running backs, but Davis still plans to take the field against Mississippi State on Saturday, according to Chris Breece with the local KSFM 5 News media (via Twitter):

Arkansas' season has brought nothing but disappointment after a 1-4 start, but if Davis can help the Razorbacks secure a victory, it will give them a 4-2 record over the last six games.?

?

QB Jeff Driskel, Florida (Ankle)

Status: Out

Jeff Driskel started the first 10 games for the Florida Gators and led them to a promising 9-1 record, but the quarterback sprained his ankle against Louisiana-Lafayette last weekend.?

The injury could cause Driskel to miss the game against Florida State to close out the season (according to Jeremy Crabtree of ESPN):

Driskel will be watching from the sidelines this weekend, but at least he claims to be feeling better:

?

RB Rex Burkhead, Nebraska (Knee)

Status: Questionable

Rex Burkhead has been a key figure of the Nebraska ground game for the last three seasons, but a knee injury has slowed him down in 2012. ?

After missing the last three games, Burkhead has been limited to just 405 rushing yards on the season.?

Burkhead was unable to contribute during the Cornhuskers victory over Penn State last Saturday, but he's hoping to suit up against Minnesota this weekend:

Burkhead's availability has not been confirmed, but keep an eye out for him this Saturday.?

?

QB Denard Robinson, Michigan?

Status: Questionable

Denard Robinson has missed the last two games with an arm injury, but Michigan has a 2-0 record in his absence, and backup Devin Gardner has played well.?

Robinson has only nine touchdowns on the season with nine interceptions, so he has certainly struggled at times.

Michigan should be in no hurry to force him on the field, but Robinson could see action this Saturday for sentimental purposes related to Senior Day:

Robinson is obviously hoping to see the field this weekend, but don't be surprised if they stick with Gardner.?

?

QB Zach Maynard, California (Knee)

Status: Doubtful

Zach Maynard watched from the sidelines as his Cal Golden Bears were crushed by the Oregon Ducks 59-17, and it looks as though Maynard will once again miss action this weekend against Oregon State:

With 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions on the season, Maynard has struggled this season, but his absence certainly hurts California this weekend.?
