Surprise, surprise: The Yankees are America's favorite team on FacebookChris Cwik at Big League Stew2 hrs ago
The New York Yankees remain the king! At least, that's what Facebook says. According to the website, the Yankees are the most "liked" team in the nation.
They even released a handy map showing their work.
The map depicts fans of each team based on their respective counties. As you can see, the Yankees (in black) own not only New York, but parts of Florida, Montana, Alaska and Nevada (among others).
Sadly, neither the New York Mets nor the Oakland Athletics actually appear on the map, because they've been overwhelmed by the neighboring Yankees and San Francisco Giants. Get out there and support your teams on Facebook, Mets and A's fans.
Now, we can't have Yankees' fans walking around with an inflated ego, so let's bring them back to Earth a bit. Your team may be the most popular in the United States, but none of our experts believe they'll make the playoffs in 2015.

Marlins will attempt to rewrite the future with 'Back to the Future Night'Chris Cwik at Big League Stew5 hrs ago
You may have already heard, but we can already cancel the 2015 Major League Baseball season. That's because, according to "Back to the Future Part II," we already know the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series.
"Wait a minute," you're probably saying. "I like watching baseball and don't want to cancel the season." Well, the Miami Marlins have a solution. It's time to rewrite the future, according to On Cloud Conine.
That's right, the Marlins have announced a three-part promotion event that will attempt to rewrite the team's future loss to the Cubs in the World Series. The first promotion will be a turn back the clock-type event where the Marlins social media team pretends that it's 1993. That will take place on opening day.Wed, Apr 1Washington0 - 8MiamiGame Recap
MLB predictions 2015: our World Series picks, award winners and moreYahoo Sports Staff at Big League Stew7 hrs ago
We're getting close to opening day and you can probably feel the excitement — real, meaningful baseball is almost here. It seems so distant now, but before you know it, we'll be talking about this season's breakout players, playoffs and MVPs.
As we do every year about this time, the Yahoo Sports MLB crew is forecasting the season ahead. We predict the standings for each division, which teams will reach the postseason, who will eventually hoist the World Series trophy, which players will capture the annual awards and which breakout stars we'll be talking about come September. We're even predicting how many home runs A-Rod hits, which player is the first fined for pace-of-play violations and when Kris Bryant hits his first big-league homer.

MLB salaries hit record high; average player makes more than $4 millionIsrael Fehr at Big League Stew15 hrs ago
If you happen to be out for dinner with a big leaguer, there's a pretty good chance he's the one that will pick up the tab, especially if he plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
According to a study by The Associated Press, the average major league salary in 2015 projects to be around $4.25 million, the first time that figure has ever been above $4 million. The average salary was $3.95 million in 2014 and $3.65 million the season before that.
Just less than a week ago, Forbes reported that the value of major league teams had skyrocketed to an unprecedented level. There's never been more money in baseball and there's plenty to go around.

Lloyd McClendon gets ejected, goes on great on-field rant (Video)Israel Fehr at Big League Stew17 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
It's a good thing the start of the regular season is less than a week away, because Lloyd McClendon's managerial tirade game is already in mid-season form.
In the fourth inning of Seattle's Cactus League game against Cleveland on Tuesday, Indians left-hander Bruce Chen threw back-to-back pitches behind Rickie Weeks. Earlier, Mariners ace Felix Hernandez had plunked Michael Brantley, and Chen's two wild throws could be seen as an attempt to retaliate.
Home plate umpire Alan Porter elected to warn both benches before the rift escalated further.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
Almost immediately, an animated McClendon emerged from the dugout and was promptly tossed by Porter, which spurred the Mariners manager's on-field rant. Once he was done, he had to jog all the way out to right field because the clubhouse at Goodyear Park is located beyond the outfield walls, not behind the dugout.
When he met with reporters, McClendon explained why he was so upset.
Simulator says: Cubs hurt playoff chances by demoting Kris BryantMike Oz at Big League Stew21 hrs ago
Take this with as many grains of salt as you take any kind of predictions this time of year: PredictionMachine.com has calculated that by sending down uber prospect Kris Bryant, the Chicago Cubs have hurt their playoff chances by 7.5 percent.
PredictionMachine.com runs something it calls The Predictalator, which simulates games 50,000 times to gather the most accurate predictions.
[Yahoo Sports Fantasy Baseball: Sign up and join a league today!]
In the case of Bryant — who was demoted Monday, mostly because putting him in the minors to start the season will push back his free agency a year — The Predictalator says the Cubs have made a mistake that will cost them 1.4 wins this season. It lowers their playoff chances from 53.2 percent to 45.7 percent.LiveMilwaukee0 - 5Chi CubsFollow Game

Rockies' John Axford leaves camp after his son was bitten by rattlesnakeChris Cwik at Big League Stew22 hrs ago
Colorado Rockies reliever John Axford left team camp last Wednesday after his 2-year-old son was bitten by a rattlesnake, according to the Denver Post.
Following a game March 25, Axford received a call from a Phoenix-area hospital, explaining that his son had been bitten twice on the foot by a rattlesnake. Axford, 31, said he was in "sheer panic" upon hearing the news.
Axford's son, Jameson, is currently in stable condition. Doctors believe they were able to save his foot, though it's possible he'll need to have one of his toes amputated. It's believed Jameson stepped on a baby rattlesnake while walking in the backyard of the family's house in Arizona.
Axford returned to camp briefly Tuesday in order to throw a bullpen session, but said he doesn't know when he'll be able to come back to the club on a full-time basis. He's currently planning to stay with his family for as long as possible.LiveTexas3 - 4ColoradoFollow Game

I use a lot of high-quality skin-care products, and have tried many lip balms for years.

I have also shared it with several men, who also find it to be a super solution to chapped lips!

I using this brand for years. I knew the quality of the product before using it. It holds strong and long. Great to use as a styling hair spray. Simply spray and style and spray to hold. This product is pretty good on damp days.
This super shine mist gives hair a luminous shine. I like this product. It makes my hair look so silky and shiny without making it oily. Put it on while your hair is wet then blow it dry. It's go a nice scent too. I love to use it regular.........
No more itchy eyes and scalp. Great hold on thick, wire-y hair. No residue. Highly recommend. Price is right.

And i was wanting to know if riot can Nerf her ultimate's burst or lower her stun or something i just find myself when i get matched against a Annie i always feel that i will lose regardless what happens.
She's so squishy and short range. CC her and she's so easy to kill. Also her burst falls off mid-late game if she does not get fed. I disagree.

Every day, in every area of our state, hard-working South Carolina taxpayers are being robbed. They are not held up at gunpoint, and their homes are not burglarized. But they are the victims of theft just the same.
Criminals are stealing federal funds and using that money for their personal benefit. They are committing fraud against the food stamp program. In fact, they pocket more than $2 million of your tax dollars every year in South Carolina alone.
Most people like having new vehicles. A new convertible would be especially nice for the springtime. Unfortunately, with new vehicles come taxes, and it's important for you to understand what taxes are due and how to pay them to avoid problems later on.
When purchasing a vehicle, you must pay local property taxes to the Lancaster County Treasurer's Office and you must also pay a sales tax for the vehicle to the S.C Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Although details are sketchy, Lancaster County EMS was called to the jail area inside Municipal Justice Center on East Arch Street for some type of medical emergency involving a semi-conscious person about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25.

Hinson said the chamber has talked to local business owners about the efffort to paint, clean and "spruce up" downtown.

Summer flowers
I normally grow natives, but I miss my summer flowers like Salvia guaranitica, Phlox paniculata, Zinnia, Gaillardia, Coreopsis, etc. I have a section with rich soil and planted with mostly native species of milkweed. i want to add nectar plants like the species above and more. Also, I want color in dry SoCal. I want a fairyland of butterflies and colorful flowers, even if it is a small area (which it is). Will the flowers of the English Borders grow here? If you have seen English gardens in summer you know what I mean. Is it just a matter of water? I imagine gophers would love these juicy plants. Do I need gopher protection for everything I plant?
Grow more drought tolerant perennials such as Verbena bonariensis, Lavandula angustifolia/intermedia/stoechas, Calandrinia grandifolia, Alstroemeias, Mimulus aurantiacus and hybrids, Leonotus, other succulents such as Cotyledon orbiculata, Lobelia laxiflora and other similar heat loving more drought tolerant perennials that are either Mediterranean or subtropical. Natives such as Salvia clevelandii, Mimulus aurantiacus, Eriogonum grande rubescens, etc can give very long season color if given drip irrigation. As to gopher protection, it may be necessary depending on your conditions. There are no shortage of vividly colorful and butterfly attracting plants that could simulate an English garden look in southern California, but you will have to provide most all except true desert species with some summer irrigation; just select less water needy species.
If you have gophers, you will need to trap them or protect the plants. I grow Gaillardia, Coreopsis, coneflowers, and other flowering annuals and perennials, but yes, it is expensive because they require water. That's all it takes- water. Verbena bonariensis is a great suggestion for the back of your cottage garden border. Yarrow is another great plant for butterflies and bees- I especially like the yarrows with gray foliage like Moonglow. Lamb's ears and Sea Holly attract lots of bees. Catmint is the perfect cottage garden flower. You can fill in the bare spots between your perennials with annuals like cosmos, zinnias, nasturtiums, paludosum daisies. I water for fifteen to twenty minutes two times a week with overhead sprinklers in the summer.

Turn your favorite phrase into a work of art by displaying it in a Creative Cupcake Frame using PLUS America products. You only need three products to create your own version of this delightful project. Decor craft ideas can quickly (and cheaply) change the look of your space.
- PLUS America Decoration Roller in Cupcake
- Picture frame with a matte boarder already in it
- Markers or Crayons
Start by taking your frame apart.
Set aside the frame and the glass. Place the matting on a clean surface, preferably a clean towel.
Place the cupcake roller on the left end of the matte and slowly roll across to the other end. Make sure to add a little pressure when rolling.
Apply a little pressure so each cupcake comes out good!
Wait 15 minutes for the ink to dry before you start coloring them in.
Fill in each cupcake with the color theme you choose.
- Place any picture inside to display.
Never roll directly on top of your counter, always place towels or napkins under your working spot.
- Practice rolling on a separate sheet before you do your matte boarder.

Sydney Thompson Dobell
A Nupial Eve (excerpt) Poem by Sydney Thompson Dobell
The murmur of the mourning ghost
That keeps the shadowy kine,
"Oh, Keith of Ravelston,
The sorrows of thy line!"
Ravelston, Ravelston,
The merry path that leads
Down the golden morning hill,
And thro' the silver meads;
Ravelston, Ravelston,
The stile beneath the tree,
The maid that kept her mother's kine,
The song that sang she!
She sang her song, she kept her kine,
She sat beneath the thorn,
When Andrew Keith of Ravelston
Rode thro' the Monday morn.
His henchmen sing, his hawk-bells ring,
His belted jewels shine!
Oh, Keith of Ravelston,
The sorrows of thy line!
Year after year, where Andrew came,
Comes evening down the glade,
And still there sits a moonshine ghost
Where sat the sunshine maid.
Her misty hair is faint and fair,
She keeps the shadowy kine;
Oh, Keith of Ravelston,
The sorrows of thy line!
I lay my hand upon the stile,
The stile is lone and cold,
The burnie that goes babbling by
Says nought that can be told.
Yet, stranger! here, from year to year,
She keeps her shadowy kine;
Oh, Keith of Ravelston,
The sorrows of thy line!
Step out three steps, where Andrew stood--
Why blanch thy cheeks for fear?
The ancient stile is not alone,
'Tis not the burn I hear!
She makes her immemorial moan,
She keeps her shadowy kine;
Oh, Keith of Ravelston,
The sorrows of thy line!

This was Tiffany and Family's second time staying with us. This time it was just a night as they transitioned to their new home in Portland. As before they were very respectful of the property and left the apartment in fantastic condition. Thanks for the return business!
Very kind and patient guests. I had to ask them to cancel there original reservation and move them to a new property because of construction. Luckily everything worked out and they were able to enjoy ther stay.

Credit union representatives gathered at Missouri Credit Union House in Jefferson City to meet with Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-District 9) on August 13. In addition to discussing bills and issues in Congress, Luetkemeyer urged credit unions to make advocacy a priority.
Bankers Spread Misinformation - Visit online today.
All Missouri credit union leaders are urged to contact their members of Congress – in both the House and the Senate - to make sure lawmakers understand the consumer benefits of raising the credit union member business lending (MBL) cap from 12.25% to 27.5% of total assets.
Contact Lawmakers in MBL Call to Action
Members of Congress heard from credit union leaders about the need for regulatory relief – for community banks AND credit unions – during a hearing on H.R. 1697, the Communities First Act. The bill focuses on community bank regulatory relief. It is sponsored by Missouri U.S. Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-District 9), whose family owns a community bank in St. Elizabeth.

Try this quick idea for an easy, nutritious, bean-based meal that the whole family will love.
A wholesome meal-in-a-bowl, this soup is similar to Scotch broth, but made with lean diced rabbit rather than lamb. Aromatic tarragon and a mixture of vegetables give the soup a fabulous flavour, and an accompaniment of Scottish-style oatcakes brings a contrasting texture to complete the meal.
Seasonal vegetables are cooked in beef consommé with delicate Parma ham to make a fresh, nourishing and fuss-free soup. Accompany with Cheddar Chutney Pittas (page 53). Delicious!
Italian sausage, garlic, tomatoes, red wine and tortellini - this hearty soup combines favourite ingredients from an Italian kitchen.
A hearty winter soup which gets its delicious flavour and lovely colour from a combination of ingredients: red peppers, tomatoes, peanut butter, chilli pepper and brown rice.
This Italian stew marries small pasta shapes and beans to make a filling supper dish.
Other winter vegetables can be used in this thick, warming soup. Try Jerusalem artichokes or swede in place of the parsnips or carrots. Garlic sippets are also very good with this.
Peas and ham are perfect partners and make classic comfort food. Here they are brought snappily up to date with a swirl of soft cheese and a little nutmeg. Serve with soda bread or toasted wholegrain 'soldiers'. Delicious!
Keep your kitchen stocked with bacon, passata and chickpeas for this warm, comforting soup.
A warm casserole of sausages, baked beans and vegetables makes a hearty, satisfying meal on a chilly evening.

The failed attempt to successfully petition the White House to build a Death Star nevertheless highlights a worthwhile way to use technology to engage the public.
Operating a computer with no-touch hand gestures is the hot new thing in user interfaces, but without standards we'll need to know a different "language" for every device.

New Mexico's Encanto, which five years ago was the third fastest machine in the world, is now practically on the scrap heap.
Qualcomm's cloud-based service could keep wireless applications from using more bandwidth than they need.
The Raspberry Pi, a small single-board computer that can teach kids the basics of computer science, is also a robust computer, now with its own app store.
The new version of the markup language serves up multimedia content without the need for plug-ins and could help agencies built more secure websites.
With the eventual transition to Windows 8 or similar interfaces, touch screen are bound to expand beyond just smart phones and tablets.

A. konjac Gordons Gold? A. titanum?
Anyone know where I can get these plants? I know PDN has Titanum, but the price is a little steep. Thanks in advance...
Just shop around you might find them in unlikely places. There'a a grower in Florida that raises A titanum. I bought one last year, here in Houston, in a 1 gallon pot, about a foot tall for $14.95. It seems a little finicky during the winter, but grows strongly during the summer. Dont know about the konjac.
there is currently a Titanum on eBay:
This same seller had one for auction last week, but it went for around $50.00
titanum has become very common so you should be able to find one no problem. I bought 30 seed on ebay earler this year from a seller for an average of $6 per seed and sent them all to my friend in Brasil.
Gordon's Gold is a rarer plant originally introduced by Dave Gordon in Southern CA. Look him up and you can likely get one. I got one from him years ago, but is was so unimpressive that I got rid of it or I would be happy to send you one. Good luck :o) Dan

This card feels weird in a sense that there isn't much to gain for the fighters from it, but there's much to lose for some of them.It's somewhat treated like an UFC card, which it isn't. That's where the weirdness comes from. We can only assume what's gonna happen to certain fighters, depending on their performance and there's a possibility that some of this talent will be left behind and not get into the UFC, which would be a pity.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we just a easily could also end up with a bunch of "safe" fights. Not that's what I want to see, but the stakes are high for these fighters.

Funeral? No. It's a new beginning, a chapter leading them to next big stage in their careers. For half of the men who compete January 12th, it spells glory. For the less fortunate, it spells a longer journey to the "big show." We're going to see Cormier showcasing his talents on full blast, giving the casual fans a more in-depth look at the potential next #1 Contender. We'll see Barnett fight his heart out to prove he belongs back home in the UFC after almost a 10 year absence. We'll see the younger fighters, putting on some of the best performances of their lives, just to get the call that they've made it to the UFC. And for one man, we'll see just how "Great" he truly is, when he defends his belt against a formidable opponent in Saffiedine. I have an erection. Do you?
1/10/13 12:00 AM by vaginal tear
It would be a shame if UFC automatically cut all the losers. There is plenty of talent even with those fighters who don't walk away with the W that night. I wouldn't call it a funeral since the fans will get a bunch of fresh and exciting new match ups in several divisions.

Upside-down peony
I planted a peony division last November and just realized that those are tubers that I left above ground...oops. (and yes, I also now know that all should have been below ground to begin with. Sigh) I assume the plant is not completely upside down since I do have at least one sprout. I am wondering now whether to leave it alone for the season, break off the tubers that are above ground, or ignore the new growth and dig it up/replant. I don't mind losing the season, just what would be best for the plant in the long term. It's from a 100+ year old peony planted by my partner's great grandmother so rather sentimental. Thanks for any advice for fixing my stupid mistake.
Wow! Are the tubers mushy? If not, I think I'd dig it up and try to replant it. You could probably position the new growth so that it is parallel to the ground and it might straighten itself out but you're certainly going to lose a lot of root if they're left exposed. I'd be concerned that any other eyes are going to be too deep to ever come up, too. I think that'd give it the best chance of surviving, hopefully some more experienced peony growers will chime in with more advice. Hope it works out well for you, especially since it's a sentimental plant.
I dug up the peony and found it oriented as shown in the first photo below. (The drier parts of the tubers that were left out of the ground show up lighter). I flipped it 90 degrees so that the side showing in the photo was planted facing down. The second photo below shows the top view (sort of) of how it was oriented for planting. If it looks like I still have it wrong, please let me know! Thanks. (Actually, I'm not sure how to post two photos in one message so I'll post in a following message.)
Original orientation.
It is perfectly fine to plant peonies on their side. Basically what you want to strive for is to have as many eyes near the surface as possible and as much roots in the soil regardless of orientation (except upside down). So it can be on its side or on a slope. Sometimes there maybe a piece of root sticking up near the surface or out of the soil. You can leave it there or just cut off the part that sticks out of the soil. In your original picture, it would appear that you have too many roots sticking our of the ground as it is upside down.

Vent hood height problem
I am remodeling my kitchen. I purchased a Whirlpool Gold vent hood (30") to go above my new Electrolux 30" Induction range. Now that my contractor has finished the cabinet work, the vent hood is too long to fit in the space and still be 24" or more over the cook top. The space I have to put a hood in is 40" across (cabinet to cabinet) and 46" tall (soffit to cook top). I have my heart set on a chimney type vent hood with glass because I wanted to have it be a focal point with glass tile behind it. The hood would work if my contractor would agree to remove the soffit above the stove but he is ready to finish up and leave this job. (He's been here 3 months so we are ready for it to be done too!)
The hood would also work if I could have the chimney cover cut down about 6 or 7 inches at a metal shop but that would void the warranty. I cannot find any other chimney type hoods that are short enough. I'm at a loss and was hoping someone has some advice for me... :)
ETA: I have decided that a 36" hood would be better after reading online that it should be bigger than the cook top. Whirlpool makes the same model in a 36" so I could exchange the one I bought for a wider one. That still doesn't help with the height problem.
After discussing it with my husband we have decided to take out the soffit above the stove, exchange the 30" in hood for the 36" one, and mount it at 30" above cook top and have the chimney extend to ceiling as I had originally intended. Thanks for your help guys!

Best metallic paints & colors for re-doing lamps?
I posted this in the Paint forum last week and didn't attract any interest, so I decided to try here.
I have two metal floor lamps that I'm planning to re-paint with a metallic finish. Both are made of steel and have a small amount of rust. The lamps aren't valuable, but they have nice shapes. One is a vintage lamp, probably from the '40's, that has a fluted column and an ornate base, and the other is more modern. If it weren't for the rust, I'd leave them as is, but I really have to do something to make them presentable.
I thought I'd paint the older one a mid-tone bronze (not ORB) and the modern one a satin nickel. I was thinking of using a spray paint but I don't mind using a brush-on. Is there a preferred brand for metallic paint? The stores around here carry Krylon and Rust-oleum. Both companies have several lines of metallic paints, which I find very confusing. I called Rustoleum and the person I spoke to wasn't at all helpful in sorting them out.
Any recommendations for specific paint colors? The color choices are completely different in the various lines. Somehow I don't trust the accuracy of the colors on the plastic caps on the paint cans, and neither the Krylon nor the Rust-oleum site has real-life photos of their metallic paints.
For the vintage lamp, I was thinking of using one of the following:
* Rust-oleum American Accents "Classic Bronze"
* Rust-oleum Metallic "Burnished Brass"
* Krylon Premium "Gilded Brass"
and for the modern lamp:
* Rustoleum American Accents Designer Metallic "Satin Nickel"
* Rustoleum Stops Rust Metallic "Matte Nickel"
* Krylon Premium Metallic "Sterling Silver"
* Krylon Brushed Metallic "Satin Nickel"
Has anyone here used any of these colors? How did they turn out?
Finally, what primer should I use? I'm not really changing the orginal colors of the lamps, but I have to do something about the rust. Should I use a black or dark primer for the bronze lamp?
We used a 'Hammered Bronze' paint on some plastic flower pots and it was SO BEAUTIFUL! Really, really nice -- a gorgeous, semi-smooth (hammered-looking) metallic finish in a rich deep brownish-bronze color. I'd use it again in a heartbeat. I think it was Rustoleum, but might have been Krylon. According to Hubby, they're both good --
There is a no-prep metallic spray, and I think it's Krylon.
If you go to Michael's (or a similar craft/art store) they sell the smaller cans of spray and carry the metallics you may be looking for. It's a little more creativity-inducing than a big-box store. They even sell the small tubes of no-prep metallic paint as another option.
And, you're right, do not trust the color of the cap! You will have to break down and buy a couple of samples.
As for the rust on the lamps, you may be able to just do a light sanding or a simple cleaning, if it is a raised surface. Or, just leave it and paint/spray right over it. Withou seeing it, can't say for sure.
Rustoleum makes a primer for rusted metal, called "Rusty metal primer" or some other very obvious thing. I think it's black. I would still sand off as much as you can. I've used the Krylon satin nickel, and it turned out great. I've found that cap color is actually pretty accurate to what's in the can, but if you're really particular about an exact shade, I'd just buy a can of each so you can test them all.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely sand off the rust. It's not too bad, but it's the main reason for painting, so I don't want it to ruin the job.
I never thought of going to a craft store to look for paint. Great idea, especially for the vintage lamp, since none of the colors I've seen so far seems exactly right. I'll also get a can of the Rustoleum "Hammered Bronze" to test because it got 2 recommendations here and has good reviews on Amazon. It may be a little too dark, though, so I'll probably test at least one other color.
There doesn't seem to be as much variation in the nickel shades, so I think I'll go with the Rust-oleum "Stops Rust" paint in Satin Nickel because (according to Rust-oleum), you don't need to prime and it's supposed to be corrosion-resistant. The directions also say that you can paint directly over rust, which means I won't have to be a perfectionist about removing it. I'll do this lamp first because it's a simpler project and I know where it will go (my office).
Thanks again!
When I'm taking rust off something with a lot of indentations or details, I like to use one of those brass kitchen type brushes, a pot brush, and definitely not something heavy duty like the grill cleaning wire bristle brushes.
When I was repainting the metal wrought iron outdoor chairs, I then sprayed a commercial product called CHEMPRIME or OSPHO on the metal. Problem with that, as I discovered, I'm allergic to the acids in them, and my hands swole up like boiled weiners. So be careful if you use any strong chemicals.
I've used the hammered bronze before, and it is very attractive. And it is very durable too.
Be sure to post your results with the nickle paints, haven't seen objects painted with that. Should be nice.
A little OT, but I've never found a silver metallic spray that auctually looked like silver - most looked just gray. A silver leaf process over the paint worked well on my clawfoot tub feet but I don't remember the brand. I'll be interested to see the results of the nickle paint.
Since the lamp is indoors, priming is not necessary, like you said, just a quick cleaning (careful not to do more damage), the no prime paint will be sufficient. Also, you can certainly buy a silver leaf if the silver sprays are not shiny enough. You can even buy a silver paint and brush that on. None of the hammered finishes are particularly shiny, but they are forgiving if you don't spray perfectly...
If you do get the silver leaf, make sure you have all the materials (leaf, size, brush & varnish), it may come as a kit, not sure.
The craft store may open up a whole new world for ya!
I did 2 floor lamps that sound like yours. To clean them use PAM and steel wool. I learned this from a friend that was in the Coast Guard. They use a WD40 product and steel wool and I had the bright idea of using the PAM instead. It works like a charm and removes all rust and leaves a lovely finish w/o ruining the patina. Clean with a little soap and water and paper towels.
At Michaels they have Sophisticated Finishes. It gives a much more realistic finish than any of the spray paints will. You can feather it on and leave the lovely finish of the metal in the places where you have it intact. I have seen the lamps that are spray painted and they always look fake since the coverage is so even and complete. Oh also the SF has a wonderful silver finish that looks and is real metal. That is the other advantage of SF , it is real metal in solution, Good Luch. I can post pics of mine if you want. c
Thanks for the tips. I don't think I want silver leaf, but I don't want just plain gray paint either. I'll have to check out the Sophisticated Finishes at Michael's. BTW, Krylon claims that their Premium Metallic paints resemble metal plating, but the colors don't look right for either of my projects.
Trailrunner, I'd love to see photos of your floor lamps. Ditto for Antiquesilver's clawfoot tub feet and any of the Hammered Bronze projects. I don't think I'd want to use Hammered Bronze alone, but it could be a good base coat under a metallic finish.
I'll try to post pictures of my lamps, but it'll probably be a few weeks before I get to them. I have a couple of other projects in the works. Priorities have a way of changing.
Hey. It is 3 lamps ...I forgot how many we did. I didn't want to cover up the "good" metal finish. That is why I cleaned them really well first and then simply added to the beauty of the metal by feathering on the finish. I am really happy with the way it came out. The SF has a clear primer that you apply and then the metals. They are not expensive. You have way more control than with spray paint. You just use a tiny amount and a little brush. Here is a link...scroll down in my photobucket acct and you will see the lamps. If you need more details or more pics let me know I would be glad to take them . Here is one for a sample :
Here is a link that might be useful: pics of floor lamps
Trailrunner, your lamp came out great! That's EXACTLY the kind of look I'd like for my antique lamp. Could you give me step-by-step instructions? Is the SF primer a spray or paint-on? How long did you wait before applying the metallic finish? (The SF site says that you have to wait 24-48 hours after using a solvent-based primer, but it doesn't say if you have to wait after using the SF acrylic primer.) What kind of brush do you use for the metallic finish? Did you apply any kind of sealer over the finish?
Clawfoot - slightly over exposed from the flash (the travertine is really a warm pink) - spray painted with a flat gray (I think) & silver leafed with a kit from Michaels. I don't remember the brand because it was done 7-8 years ago but I didn't need to prime because the feet had been professionally painted when the tub was re-surfaced.
Antiquesilver, that's absolutely beautiful! I've never seen so much detail on a clawfoot! You did an amazing job! It looks like it's held up really well, too, if you did that 7-8 years ago. Did you use any kind of protective coating? Do you have to use any special cleaning products?
Hey just checking back. I didn't have to do anything really time consuming or special on any of the 3 lamps. I took them outside and sprayed on PAM. I then put on gloves to protect my nails and scrubbed the metal with PAM saturated steel wool...used very fine. I next used paper towels to get off the rust and oil residue. I used a spray grease cutter to get off the PAM after that. The finish was so pretty at that point so all I did was put in the milky looking primer...it dries clear and you can then coat it with the SF. I didn't wait at all. It dries very fast. I used a tiny brush like from a kid's watercolor set. The SF dries very fast also. I didn't seal it. You can use as much or as little as you want and feather the edges. Use less and then look at it and see if you want more coverage. The original metal will probably be so pretty that you might not use much so clean 1st. Good Luck. c
I hit enter before I finished!
Nicole, I love that lamp, although, to me, it's much prettier as a torche with all the Egyptian motif exposed. I'm assuming the glass shade is original because it looks to be perfectly matched to the lamp design. But then, I'm a sucker for a torche!
Great lamp, Nicole! I agree with AntiqueSilver that I'd want to show off the original diffuser -- it's so unusual and is so perfectly matched to the lamp (even though using a lamp shade is more historically correct with that kind of lamp). Your pictures reminded me that I have similar lamp (but nowhere near as nice) that's been in my attic since it got accidentally knocked over and broken. I need to figure out how to fix it (but that's would be another thread -- I'll post it in Metalworking).
Thanks for tips, TrailRunner & AntiqueSilver.
antiquesilver & dilettante....I'm glad you like it! It started it's life as a FREE CL lamp, not a torchier. The top was a huge clunky normal light base with no harp. Sooooooooo......I took a fruit bowl, also free...probably from hobby lobby...inverted the base, which is made from red clay, put the glass bowl on top, rewired it, then attempted to get a color I could live with. :0) I'm into the drum shades at the moment and need a light I can read by....so this works right now. :0)
antiquesilver, dilettante, powermuffin.....even my DH is fooled. :0) He found the fruit bowl in a site dumpster(he works construction) and swears it's an antique light fixture.....but I saw the exact fruit bowl in Hobby Lobby painted rust, on sale for $6!!! Made in China!!! lol It was something the secretaries were throwing out....
