I am very bad in UV things & textures..
i did a screenshot from top of the Rim made a text in photoshop. Than in maya blinn, bump mapping (projection) & placed it at the right spot. i did not do anything else yet

But I think I see the problem there, if you really don't want to UV map it, try selecting only the top faces and apply your blinn texture to those faces only, instead of the whole geometry.

No reason not to open a new thread for another question, so that the thread title is relevant to the question.
