Western Chaps and Their History

In order to fully understand all the terminology and styles the western Chap represents, you must first study the history behind them. There are names for the cut and style of chaps according to the usage and the time period you are talking about.

The first type of Chaperajos were the Armas. Chaperajos (leg of armor or later meant to be leather britches) were invented by the Spanish who settled Mexico. You must picture two large slabs of leather much like a flat pair of batwings tied to the saddle. These wings were draped across the legs while riding through tough brush, but when not in use were laid under the riders legs. These were made from heavy buffalo hide or thick cowhide.

The Mexicans cowboy's called vaqueros wore the first leather breaches called Armitas in the early 1800's. These leggings were made from wild animal hides, calfskin, deer, lion and goat. They were attached to a belt at the waist and wrapped around the riders legs with leather bindings. These were typically short, only coming to just below the knee.

The early Texas cowboys designed the first full length complete leather britches which by the 1870's were called Shotguns, because the pants had no seat and resembled a double-barrel shotgun. The plain leggings that had no fringe or conchos were called Closed Legs. By the 1880's some chap makers were making two pieced chaps that were lased up the front, with a square waistband. At the turn of the century the waistband was curved or contoured. The 1900's add zippers. Most of the modern shotguns are made with zippers for a tighter more tailored fit.

With the coming of the Wild West Shows and rodeos came the introduction of the Batwing Chap. These chaps had wide leather wings that flapped around freely which is why they called them Batwing. The first style was the step-into type, then later they were changed to the open legged style that buckled or snapped into place. The Batwings are some of the most decorated variety of the square waisted rodeo style chap with liver studs and conchos, fancy stitching and hand tooling and bright colors. The were personalized by each rider.

In the late 1880's, the Angoras or Woollies were introduced. The northern climates appreciated the warmth and the water repellent qualities of the Woollies. They were made of mountain lion, leopard, angora goats, bear, buffalo, dog and even seal with the fur left on. Any animal with hair would do the job.

Chinks, are similar to chaps, but shorter, typically hitting the rider just below the knee but above the ankle. They are secured by snaps, zippers, buckles or other forms of fasteners stopping above the back of the knee. Chinks are more free-moving for the working cowboy and cooler in the summer. The fringe on chinks run longer than chaps, giving them the appearance of being longer than they are.

Stocking Fillers With the Xmas Factor

Stocking fillers are perhaps one of the best bits about Christmas - sure you get all those big fancy gifts all smartly wrapped under the tree too - but there's something really exciting about those personal and humorous little stocking fillers that turn up in the foot of an old festive sock!

For techie lovers
They'll love the cute little Reindeer Mo-pod, a little tiny reindeer that spins, flashes and dances when your mobile phone rings! It's a gadget from Japan which won 'Gift of the Year' in 2007 for its innovation and general addictiveness! You'll certainly never miss a call again.

Otherwise parents can have fun with the 'control-a-kid' remote control gadget - really fun little stocking fillers which will amuse stressed-out parents everywhere who've always wished they could either turn down their teenager's 'volume' or get them to put the kettle on! Probably worth noting that it's not an actually scientifically-proven tool mind...

Humorists
Fun loving types - brothers or overgrown students - will probably enjoy stocking fillers like the on a roll 'crime scene' toilet paper. Presented in a clear gift box, this printed 'police style tape' loo roll helps seal off the bathroom when a emergency has occurred and evacuation may be necessary....Or bring some real aesthetic style and class into your home decor scheme with the 'splat stan' silicone rubber coaster. Featuring a 'splatted' stan, reminiscent of playdough characters from your youth -Stan protects your Mum's fancy table, whilst making your cup look, erm, stylish. Stan belongs to the Dead Fred's series - one to impress your friends with or cause a bit of a stir in the office....

Otherwise why not try some classic comedy stocking fillers - such as the amazing flying monkey! A soft toy with a magical cape and a secret power - flying monkey is like a catapult and he soars through the air for up to fifteen meters! Even better, he makes noisy ape sounds as he flies! House of entertainment guaranteed, for kids aged six to sixty...

Romantic stocking fillers
Why not show you really care with a loving 'last Rolo, and not the half-melted hair-covered one in your jeans pocket either, but a beautiful gold plated souvenir one in a gorgeous red box.

Garden gifts
Stocking fillers even get green, with funky little seed packs, designed to get even the clumsiest fingers growing away! Try a little gift pack of organic garden mint - a perennially popular herb which brightens up everything from salads to mojitos! The seeds also geminate in just two to three weeks, so impatient folk will be able to harvest their 'crop' very quickly! You can get other garden kits too - including tea and coffee growing kits for caffeine addicts, or even a grow-your-own bonsai tree, for those wishing to bring a bit of zen into your life!

Personalised gifts
Stocking fillers get an extra-special touch when they feature the recipient's name - such as the personalised film lover's diary, featuring twelve classic flim images to brighten any cinema buff's day...All on high quality paper with a glossy luxurious finish - you pick your loved one's name and our techie experts will do the rest! Similarly, why not try a personalised dressing room sticker - designating the sanctity of your dressing room, and keeping those fans (or demanding family members) out to let you straighten your hair in peace... or present your loved one with a cute little personalised print, with their name spelt out in one of the many images on offer - clouds in the sky, chocolate sweets, flowers, marked into sand etc - these stocking fillers are certainly more stylish and glamourous than your average stocking fillers!

Quirky gifts
For real retro fun, bring back the old days with a 'Jim'll Fix It' soap on a rope! It's a fully licensed replica badge from the famous kids' programme, and comes presented on a red satin ribbon. Going into the shower never was so much fun! For similarly quirky stocking fillers you could also try the wedge of cheese door stop - or encourage your creative kids to write down their pearls of genius with the cute 'ideas' notebook - who knows, it may eventually make its way into a museum exhibition one day when they're rich and famous....

As you can see, stocking fillers have come an awfully long way since the time when all anyone could expect was a sugar mouse, a satsuma and a piece of coal! Online shopping has brought a real wealth of funny, unusual and downright bizarre little stocking fillers right at your fingertips - so get clicking and bring some smiles to your loved ones' faces this Christmas!

Children's Fashion Clothing

Fashion has evolved over time. These days, it represents not only weird trend in apparel design, but stands for your identity as well. Who you are, is very well reflected by what fashion statement you make. While there are many things that can be covered under the definition of fashion, the most important element in the entire concept is clothing – something with which you make or break your first, and permanent, impression. Fashion has even extended to children's clothing, and even the kids of today don't want to be left behind in looking good. And rightfully so!

But the question is, what types of clothes are best for the kids? In answering this question, we have to keep in mind two things. First, that kids want to look good; and second, that kids want to feel good. Yes, for a child it is very important that they emotionally connect with whatever they do. That is why even with the clothing, one has to be careful. We have spent a lot of time and effort researching what's right for the children, and we happy to say that the result of all the analysis has been very pleasing.

We have specially launched the special range of Disney clothing for the children. We realized long ago that a very special market exists for this type of clothing as Disney is a very popular name. So popular in fact, that every household is inhabited by at least one Disney character. That is why we introduced the range of Disney clothing so that we can help the children feel close to their favorite characters all the time. This is very good for the emotional development of the child as well.

For the cute little girls, we have the very special Disney princess clothing, specially designed to make them look and feel like a princess from the fairy tales of Disney.

3 Lessons To Achieve Authentic Greatness From Steve Jobs

When I'm in the mood for a little inspiration I seek out extraordinary people speak their truth from the heart. These are the thought leaders who fully express their Moxie - the confident courage to achieve authentic greatness with unrelenting drive and passion. In this abundant content driven Web 2.0 age it only takes a few clicks of a mouse to bear witness to their words of wisdom.

After giving up the seemingly impossible battle to overcome something called a kernel panic (who thinks of these names?) on my computer I reached out to YouTube to replenish my soul. I discovered the video of the 2005 Stanford commencement speech given by Steve Jobs. So surprised and moved by what he had to say, I watched the video three times. Here are the three key empowering lessons, reminders of what I sometimes forget when stressed:

Lesson #1: Your intuition knows which path to take. Trust it!

"You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference." - Steve Jobs

Having experienced the ups and downs of the DOT COM industry in my former 'inauthentic' career I certainly knew of Steve Jobs as the founder and CEO of Apple Computers and the former chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios before its acquisition by The Walt Disney company in 2006. I knew very little of what influenced his rise to the top. What I learned was another profound example of what it takes to achieve unprecedented success on your own terms.

Steve Jobs was adopted as a baby boy with the condition that his adoptive parents send him to college after he graduated high school. Dutifully obeying this clause Steve went to college. He dropped out after six months, trusting that all would work out OK. He quit so he could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest him and start taking the ones that did. Much of what he stumbled into by following his curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.

Steve took up calligraphy. I had a hard time imagining the Steve Jobs I thought I knew painting elegant doodles on a page. He found calligraphy fascinating because it was "beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture". That influence was integrated into the design of the Mac ten years later. It was the first computer with beautiful typography.

Lesson #2: Follow your heart. Don't settle.

"You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle." - Steve Jobs

Then he got fired from Apple, the company he started, when he turned 30. Steve's vision for the future didn't jive with another key executive in the company. After a falling out, Steve got the axe.

So he started other companies including Pixar, the most successful animation studio in the world. If Steve Jobs hadn't been fired from Apple the world would have never seen "Toy Story", "Ratatouille", "Wall-E" and the Academy Award winning "Up".

Lesson #3: Live authentically.

"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition." - Steve Jobs

In 2004, Steve was diagnosed with a very rare form of pancreatic cancer. He wasn't expected to live longer than 3-6 months. As I write this on April 12, 2010 Steve is very much alive, living full out, thanks to an amazingly skilled surgeon. Death, to Steve, is the single best invention in life. As a change agent the prospect of impending death wakes you up to living your own life, not someone else's. Live each day as if was your last.

After my YouTube diversion I no longer cared about the kernel-thingie that was plaguing my computer. I'll get it taken care of. I always do. I went out and enjoyed the rest of my day, away from the computer, for that is Not how I would spend my last day on earth. My day was filled with love, laugher and really good wine!

7 Super Creative Ways You Can Use Digital Picture Frames

7 Super Creative Ways You Can Use Digital Picture Frames

A digital picture frame will display streaming slide shows, play music, and even show video files. As easy as they are to load with digital content, you can keep your picture frame current with recent photos from vacation, graduation, family events, your growing children - or practically anything you want to show off!

Below are 7 super creative ways that you can use digital picture frames:

1. Set up a comforting slide show of family photos, accompanied by lullabies, and place it in the nursery for your baby or small child to enjoy. You might include pictures of Mommy, Daddy, grandparents and even the favorite teddy bear. Not only will they enjoy their personalized show, but it makes a great night light as well!

2. Create a slideshow of family photos that spans several across decades for your parents wedding anniversary. It will make the perfect gift! Let them watch their children grow up all over again while they enjoy highlights from their life together. This is sure to be a big hit at the anniversary party.

3. Give the grandparents something to show off! Preload the digital picture frame with current pictures of their grandchildren before you give it to them. You can update it with new pictures each time you go for a visit. This would make a great holiday or birthday gift, and its something they would truly treasure.

4. Use your digital picture frame to encourage fun family time. Let everyone, even the children, take fun pictures during family outings. It may be a trip to the park, a hike in the woods, or a day at the pool. You can update your digital frame together afterwards.

5. Digital frames are perfect for business counters or office desks. You can display current specials or new products. Imagine a real estate agent showcasing the latest homes. A photographer showing off their line of prints. An interior decorator displaying a slideshow of before and after shots from recent contracts. A web designer could even showcase screen shots of their best work. The ideas are endless!

6. Let your digital picture frame tell a story with a musical slideshow. It may be the building of your new home. You can showcase your children from birth to their current age. Or you might make a mini-movie of your life as a couple - from dating to wedding to children. It will keep people captivated to the very end, and be an incredible conversation piece!

7. Use your digital frame as a mobile presentation tool. Small and easy to carry, you can display almost any type of images you like. Most have a remote control and are compatible with various file formats, allowing you to offer an intriguing visual presentation on almost any topic!

They are easy to use, and don't need to be hooked up to a computer to work. You can simply download pictures from your digital camera, or use common memory cards to create your digital slideshows.
