We have recently inherited a very old and beautiful Copper table lamp with some kind of inserts in the shade. The whole thing weights a ton! I don't know what the inserts are, but it reminds me of the inside of a clam shell, but much too huge for that (I think?)
I would like to clean it real good and be able to keep the finish looking nice. It has green tarnish and looks real dark. The inserts can be taken out by bending little tabs on the inside, but I affraid to bend them, for fear of them breaking off. Does anyone know what works best for cleaning both the copper and the ??? inserts? Also, does a lamp like this loose some value if it is rewired? The wiring looks bad enough that I would rather not use it, although it has been used up until we brought it home.

Before you do anything besides gently dust it, identify the "clamshell" inserts, and the age and maker of the lamp. It might be a very valuable piece. That "green tarnish" is probably "original patina" and polishing the lamp up bright as a new penny will destroy most of its value. Rewiring (keep the old cord and parts, labelled, in a safe place) doesn't damage the value nearly as much as a bad cleaning. Can you post a picture? |

I'd like to see a photo too if possible Hayjud. After reading your description, the first type of lamp that popped into my mind were those popular during the Arts & Craft movement. The shell "type" inserts may possibly be mica. If they are, I would not suggest that you take them out. Mica is flexible and brittle. I agree with lazygarden. I would not give the lamp a "polishing" but I would replace the wiring (saving all parts). |
I also second NOT cleaning the copper off until you have the lamp appraised - I recall a lamp (from the arts and crafts period) on The Antiques Road Show - the new owner polished all the old patina off til it gleamed - and also lost several thousands of dollars in value because of it. I would also take the lamp to a 'professional' to rewire - if it is a valuable lamp - it probably would be worthwhile to use a similar type of electrical cord - i.e. fabric covered, etc., keeping with the original style. |
Another who says don't polish it....Perhaps the inserts are capiz shell.....in which case it wouldn't be as old as if it were mica. Post a picture if you can....and be sure to let us know what you find out.....and be aware that every appraiser doesn't know everything about what they see. I would look for an identification rather than appraisal...unless you want to sell it. Linda C |

Yipes! Please correct my original reply regarding the mica. Do NOT take them out. So sorry...I should have proofed better. |
Thank you all for that valuable advise! I was assuming that a good polishing would be the way to go. I can feel a greasy film on the inserts. They feel fairly thick and like a glass. It seems to be strong, and certainly not flexible. |
We put it back together and I have a picture of the whole lamp. The picture looks brighter then it actually does. So you all think the best way to clean it is to just buff with a soft cloth. Is that green suposed to be there? I think the green is ugly! |
- Posted by LKGrace345 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 7, 04 at 18:19
Judy, I'd wager it's worth every penny and more of the $1,595 one that is similar even with the socket that has been changed out. I still think it's a lamp from the Arts & Craft period (turn of the century) and most likely (after seeing the shade) it's slag. I think it's gorgeous, green included, and don't you dare clean it now that we've seen it. BTW...did I mention, I crave that lamp? That's just too bad about Dh's sis. LOL Anyway...clean the slag with a damp cloth. It's not as fragile as mica. Have you found any markings on the metal? Look around the rim and on the underside. I hope you're going to keep it. Really...it's simply marvelous. |
WOW!!!!....For sure a slag glass honey from about 1910 or so..... Have it rewired if you want to....but no polishing!!! It's fabulous!!! And....if you take it somewhere to be rewired....make sure they know not to clean it!... A bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball will clean the glass......don't use Windex as it contains ammonia and will ruin the patina on the copper ( which is likely bronze) Linda C |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Wed, Jan 7, 04 at 21:06
WOW! Art Nouveau (the swirly curly ornament distinguishes it form the simpler, more angular "Arts and Crafts" stuff form the same tume period) from 1895-1915 or so, with "slag glass" or other hand-blown glass shades. (might be called "opal glass" by some. Check the shade and base carefully, with a magnifying glass, for signatures or makers marks. The green is "patina" and it's supposed to be there. Just wash off the grime with a mild detergent, rinse and dry. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 04 at 8:17
Of course ... if you think it's an ugly green thing, I could give it a good home :) |
Lazygardens, I thought you were meaning somebody by the name of ART, who's last name was Nouveau! LOL I don't know anything about antiques! I have not been able to find any markings, but I'll try again in the bright daylight. LOL - LKG and lazy, I'm not looking for a new home for it, but you can be my friend any time! When I took the shade off again to look for markings, I noticed the inside of the center doesn't have the same copper color. I'll let you know if I find a marking. |

It's beautiful & very similar to a lamp given to my grandparents. Their house burned down around 1900 & they built another in the same spot. The new house had electricity, so their church gave them the lamp as a housewarming gift. My brother has it now. It's very heavy brass, with 6 caramel slag glass panels with delicate filigree. Ditto the comments about rewiring, not cleaning & craving. Enjoy! |

Only if the person eating the bar is standing in Universal.
Indiana Jones Spic Stunt Spectacular is a live show. Who's in it?
The show takes place in Indiana and stars James Earl Jones... it's actually not all that epic, spectacular, or stunt
Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
Little Red Riding Hood.

No, not really. Walt Disney was going for an abstract theme there.
Are the 999 Happy Haunts really happy? I mean, don't some of them get depressed sometimes??
Yes they are always happy because they get free food and bording at a low cost.

You would look ticked off too if you got lost as a small child and instead of being reunited with your parents were taken into a dark boat ride, had your feet nailed to the floor and forced to sing in different languages until you reached puberty.
Why hasnt Mickey asked Minnie to marry him?
Maybe they like the supence of it all or there planning a huge wedding.
Why do they say "Four Parks, One World"?

I like mini portions and bites that provide a variety of tastes. I am always in a lack of time. No matter how handy a person, this recipe would engage only five to ten minutes. It combines fresh fruit sweetness with cheese saltiness into a prolonged nutty ending
30 ml olive oil250 g mild goat cheese
some white seedless grape, about 40 grapes are enough
100 g chopped roasted pistachio nuts
Wash grape well and let it dry. Smash the cheese. If not mild, grate it. Adding some olive oil, mix it with the cheese until it turns to smooth hard cream. With the help of 2 spoons roll each grape in this cream and then roll the blobs in a bowl with the chopped pistachios. Cool taste better. Bon appetit!my notes

What is a Middle School Math Teachers' Circle?
Teachers' Circles are collaborations between research mathematicians, middle school math teachers, and school administrators. A Teachers' Circle provides an opportunity for teachers to engage in mathematical problem solving and deepen their understanding of mathematics. This problem solving approach to mathematics is a structure that can be implemented in teachers work with students.
The main activities of a Teachers' Circle are problem solving sessions for middle school math teachers led by a mathematician. Rather than emphasizing math exercises, the techniques discussed during the Teachers' Circles sessions aim to create a culture of problem solving among middle school mathematics teachers.
At each of our sessions, the first part will be devoted to actively engaging in mathematical problem solving together and the latter part of our time will be addressing teachers concerns, how to implement problem solving in the classroom and connections to the Common Core Standards.
Another important aspect of the Teachers' Circles is to create a network among math teachers and research mathematicians. This network becomes an invaluable resource of ideas, activities, and support with fellow professionals.
How Can I Participate?
The Northern Colorado Math Teachers' Circle will host its Fall 2014 problem-solving on Monday September 8th; Monday October 13th, and Monday November 10th from 5:15-7:45pm at UNC in Ross Hall 2270 (second floor).
The evenings are entirely free. Please join us for dinner and math. A flyer can be found here. If you have further questions please email any of the leadership team (email addresses can be found to the left). We hope you will join us at one or every session.
Our 2014 summer workshop was held June 23-26, 2014. Pictures and a summary of events will be posted soon on the Summer 2014 Workshop page.

Why Online Applications Are Killing Your Job Search Hosted by Career Confidential on January 8, 2013
Gunter, TX, Jan 07, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- How many online applications does it take to get an interview According to the folks at Career Confidential, way too many. That's why they have created a webinar to show job seekers a better way to find a job, called Why Online Applications Are Killing Your Job Search. This webinar is at no cost to candidates registering here:
Career Confidentia is a comprehensive online job search and interview resource created by CEO Peggy McKee, a nationally-known career coach. According to McKee, only a small fraction of online applications actually get to the hiring manager who should see them.
"I've seen figures that say that only about 5 out of every 1000 online applications ever make it to the hiring manager's desk," said McKee. "Even if that's not the exact number, you can ask just about any job seeker how much time they spend filling out those online applications, and the answer is always 'hours and hours.' And then ask them how often they hear back, or get an interview from those applications, and the answer is almost always 'never.' It's a real problem, because it keeps people in the job search much longer than they have to be." According to McKee, there are several reasons why online applications don't result in interviews: too many people applying for one job, Applicant Tracking Systems designed to weed out all but the most 'perfect' candidates, and the rules of Human Resource departments.
"Too many job seekers think they have to follow that path of filling out those online applications over and over again, but they don't. They can choose to go around that system. Just skip it," says McKee. "Job seekers have more effective strategies they can use that are more successful." To teach job seekers about those alternative job search strategies, McKee has created a free webinar: Why Online Applications Are Killing Your Job Search. In the webinar, McKee teaches job seekers tips and strategies for the 3 critical areas they need to be successful in: their resumes, how to get many interviews, and how to do well in those interviews.
"I've been teaching this method to job seekers for several years now, and they consistently come back to me and say that before learning this information, they had been searching for months and getting nowhere. After learning this information, they were able to get great jobs within a few weeks," according to McKee.
Interested job seekers can find out more about the webinar, as well as how to register, here:http://careerconfidential.com/online-applications-killing-job-search/ Career Confidential is a rapidly growing job search training company based in Texas that specializes in providing job seekers with powerful and customizable tools and techniques to get the jobs they want fast.
Since nationally-recognized recruiting and job search experts Peggy McKee (CEO) and Carl Chapman (CTO) founded Career Confidential in 2009, Career Confidential has grown from one product, the 30/60/90-Day Business Plan, to more than 30 products to guide candidates through every step of the job search.

Crisis body formed to solve Australian's abduction
-A A +ABy Bong Garcia
Wednesday, December 7, 2011
ZAMBOANGA CITY -- The local government of Ipil activated a crisis management committee on Wednesday to speed up rescue operation of an Australian abducted in Zamboanga Sibugay province.
Military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Randolph Cabangbang said only the crisis management committee can issue information concerning the joint rescue operations of Warren Richard Rodwell.
Rodwell, 53, was kidnapped Monday by six gunmen believed to be members of a kidnap-for-ransom-group (KFRG) from his residence at Greenmeadow Subdivision, Lower Pangi village in Ipil, the capital town of Zamboanga Sibugay province.
Cabangbang said Ipil Mayor Eldwin Alibutdan is the designated committee chairman with Army 102nd Infantry Brigade commander Colonel Gerry Barrientos and Zamboanga Sibugay Police Director Ruben Cariaga as members.
Rodwell is from Sydney, Australia. He married Miraflor Gutang, a native of Naga, Zamboanga Sibugay, in June 2011. The couple settled in Ipil town since October this year.
The abductors have not yet established any communication with the crisis management committee, and even to Rodwell's wife.
Also, the authorities have yet to ascertain the identities of the abductors.
Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard earlier said her government has also established a task force to investigate the kidnapping.
The Australian government also warned Tuesday its citizens to avoid travels to Central and Western Mindanao following the kidnapping of Rodwell.
"We strongly advise you not to travel to Central and Western Mindanao due to the very high threat of terrorist attack kidnapping, violent crime and violent clashes between armed groups," the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said in its latest travel advisory.
The travel advisory covered the provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay, Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Cotabato City, North Cotabato, South Cotabato, Sarangani, Misamis Occidental, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi.
Its citizens are also advised to think twice before going to eastern Mindanao provinces, which include Bukidnon, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, and Surigao del Sur.
Australians are encouraged to register with the DFAT if they want to travel to the Philippines.
Monday's kidnapping incident was the second this year in Zamboanga Sibugay.
The first was last September 4, when a businesswoman identified as Luisa Galvez-Morrison was seized in downtown Ipil municipality.
Morrison, who is married to a Scottish national, was rescued last September 19 in Sitio Bohe Peyat, Baiwas village, Sumisip, Basilan province. (Bong Garcia/Sunnex)

Horrible reviews. Crappy picture quality.
perfect for filming your cream pie.
It's a decent price for the gear, but I would agree the cameras are nowhere near top of the line. Not only is the resolution pretty bad, but I find 24V cameras tend to produce a better image for some reason. Probably due to being intended more for professional use.
