Introducing Burtonwode And Welcoming Edwin Back To Glass Boutique

Glass Boutique realises that the current climate for men's undergarments is a little stale. Beyond the standard big name boxer briefs, there is not a lot of shopping choice out there for the modern man.
Burtonwode is a new exciting manufacturer of Gentlemen's Necessities and 'Be Your True Self - Underneath It All' is their slogan. It's aptly fitting for the makers of these quality boxer shorts. Burtonwode have made a commitment to making quality essentials for the real men of the world, rather than the stereotypical oiled and buffed male model. All pieces are made from 100% softened cotton and come in a myriad of stand out prints. For the man that keeps it subtle there is a sky blue on white weave, whilst for those looking to embrace their sense of humour there is an all over print featuring none other than Albert Einste women's jackets in. Each pair comes lovingly presented in a strong cardboard presentation box. Truly bringing something unique to the world of Gentlemen's Neccessities, Burtonwode are a brand not to be missed.

In addition to their new brand, after a two year break Glass Boutique are once again stocking Japanese denim brand Edwin. The brand was established back in 1947 by Mr Tsunemi who had a strong passion for denim, but could not find the quality he required in both the denim he imported from the United States or domestically manufactured Japanese denim. Due to this Mr Tsunemi's hand was forced, he had to create his own denims to measure up to his standards. After crafting his first pair of Edwin jeans in 1961, the brand has grown to become the behemoth that it is today. Glass Boutique has hand picked an essentials collection for their customers, consisting of heavy sweatshirts, melange jersey tees and the classic ED-55 and ED-71 jeans styles.

Quality denim is an essential piece of every man's wardrobe, Glass Boutique does not believe in following trends but instead believes in providing their customer with a range of clothing that will last and always look classic.

Civil War Encampment & Reenactment Weekend to Take Place in Angelica New York

Now in its fifth year, Angelica's Civil War Re-enactment attracts thousands of visitors and hundreds of re-enactors who, through living history demonstrations, re-enactments of actual Civil War battles, and spontaneous interactions with visitors, help the audience understand more fully certain facets of C fashion jackets online ivil War life. And it isn't always pretty.

Visitors will experience history coming alive when they visit the military camps, where the re-enactors are happy to describe their life as a Union or Confederate soldier. The doctor in the medical tent can tell you how surgery was performed, illnesses cured (or not), and wounds tended in the heat of battle. The laundress can describe the methods used to wash clothes in camp, and cooks will show you what's in the pot for dinner.

New Activities: New this year is a living history presentation by Jack Maples portraying Confederate General Montgomery Corse, an anti-slavery Confederate. In this portrayal we learn about General Corse's relationship with Robert E. Lee. Maples will also be selling his book, Reconstructed Yankee, which is locally relevant: the story of the book ends in the old village of East Rushford (now under Rushford Lake). Mr. Maples' presentation takes place on Saturday at 10:00 am and 11:00 am in the Angelica Grange Hall on Park Circle.

Also new this year is a re-creation of the Richmond Bread Riot by the civilian component of the re-enactors. The Richmond Bread Riot was an uprising of women in Richmond, Va., over the inflation and food shortages experienced by the South during the war. It is an often-overlooked event in history education. This re-creation will take place on historic Main Street at 10:00 a.m. Saturday and 1:00 p.m. Sunday.

A Catholic Mass celebrated by Father John will take place on Sunday at 9:00 am in the Grange Hall, to be followed immediately by a Civil War-era church service conducted by the Rev. John Hogan, who is returning to present his authentic service again after an absence of two years.
Concert: Sunday's activities will culminate at 2:30 p.m. in Park Circle with a very special musical presentation by two premier ensembles from Houghton College in Houghton, N.Y. The Houghton College Philharmonia and the Houghton College Choir will perform patriotic and Civil War-era music, interspersed with readings from and about the period. The program will end with a performance of "The 1812 Overture" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, replete with church bells and cannon fire, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon's retreat from Russia (the event that inspired the famous composition).

The Houghton College Philharmonia with select guest artists from Alfred University, under the direction of Conductor Brian Casey, features approximately 60 members and seeks to expose its audiences to the highest quality music written for string, wind and percussion instruments. The Houghton College Choir, led by Conductor Brandon Johnson, features 75 student singers. For 80 years the Houghton College Choir has committed itself to world-class performances rooted in the sacred a cappella tradition, and has performed in the most renowned concert halls and churches across the U. S. and abroad.

Angelica Farmers' Market: Park Circle will host the popular Angelica's Farmers' Market, with local vendors offering fresh fruits, vegetables, meats and baked goods, plus wine, honey, and artisan wares. Sharing the market for this event will be Civil War-period vendors called "sutlers", plus craftsmen, civilian camps, and traveling exhibits.

Admission, Parking and Shuttle Service: All event parking is at the Allegany County Fairgrounds at Exit 31 on the I-86 expressway, a short distance from downtown. Admission is $2.00 per person [12 and under – free] and includes a souvenir booklet and all-day shuttle service.

To enhance the safety of holding this event in Angelica's Historic District, the Angelica Village Board has authorized the closing of Main Street to vehicular traffic and to parking from High Street to Peacock Hill Road, beginning Friday, September 21, at 6:00 p.m. and ending Sunday Sept. 23rd at 4:00 pm. Detours will be established to re-route traffic.    

History: One hundred and fifty years ago, men from Allegany County and the surrounding area gathered at what is now known as the "Parade Grounds" in Letchworth State Park. In 1862, it was known as "Camp Williams" and served as the mustering point for over 1,000 of these men, who became the 136th New York Volunteer Infantry. They marched forth from that camp to the places we've all read about in history texts -- places with names like Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Siege of Atlanta and Sherman's March to the Sea.

Boy Scouts and Re-Enactors: This year on September 22-23, members of the modern- day group who recreate those men and women of the Civil War will gather in historic Angelica, N.Y., to teach today's young men about that era. The Western Gate District of the Allegheny Highlands Boy Scout Council will hold their eighth Civil War Camp-o-ree at the Allegany County Fairgrounds.

The camporee has fueled a new interest in Civil War history by the scouts and led to the formation of Crew 7136, a Venturing Crew that re-enacts Company "K" of the 136th New York Volunteer Infantry, which was recruited in Allegany County in 1862. Crew 7136 participates in re-enactment events throughout the region. Dressed and equipped with authentic equipment, they strive to teach history to today's youth through portraying the lives of Volunteer Infantry and civilians during the Civil War.

Approximately 450 scouts and leaders from throughout the region are expected to participate in living history demonstrations of camp life, marching and artillery. Over 350 re-enactors from across the region will make camp right in the yards of willing village homeowners. The Union re-enactors will encamp on properties west of Park Circle, and the Confederate re-enactors will encamp on properties east of Park Circle. From these locations they'll eat, sleep and breathe Civil War-era life. Dressed in period costume, they'll battle blue against grey complete with cannons, muskets, and epithets. Capping off the weekend, the scouts will observe several skirmish re-enactments put on by the re-enactors, and then participate in a mock battle of their own, using imitation muskets and gaining valuable insights into Civil War life.    

Weekend Event Schedule:    

Friday, Sept. 21:
9:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Education Day

Many of the re-enactors come to Angelica and set up their encampments a day early, to welcome more than 400 8th grade students from schools across the county who are on field trips to learn more about Civil War life. Residents are also invited to visit these living history stations.

Vail, Colorado Vacation Rentals Company Owner Tim Parker Recommends Top Local Fall Attractions

Colorado's fall colors are some of the most vibrant anywhere. Taking a scenic mountain drive through an aspen forest is one reason to spend a few days in Vail during early October.

Vail Restaurant Month is another. More than 50 events are scheduled every day through October 14. Star chefs, singular dining experiences, wine and beer tastings, health/wellness/spa packages, romantic getaways, family fun, seminars, chef demos, recipes, family cooking experiences, last minute Vail lodging packages, fashion trunk shows, art gallery receptions, celebrity author readings and book signings, outdoor adventures, and many more special and one-of-a-kind activities happening this fall in the world's most beloved mountain destination.

And Vail Snow Daze is a third reason to visit. This is Vail's 50th winter season and the kickoff December 10 through 16 features live concerts with Wilco, Michael Franti & Spearhead and The Shins. Tickets are available online.

What Fall Color Viewing Drives Do Vail, Colorado Residents Use Most?

Tim Parker, owner of Vail vacation rental company Gore Creek Properties has been traveling Vail mountain roads for more than 16 years.

"These are the routes I use to get out of town and see the large clusters of aspen groves. Don't forget your camera," Parker said.    

  •     Vail Mountain and East Vail
Trails such as Berry Picker on Vail Mountain and the North Trail, which parallels I-70 along the north side of the highway, offer beautiful golden aspens and panoramic mountain views. East Vail trails good for fall color viewing include Bighorn Creek, Booth Creek and Gore Creek.

  •     Battle Mountain and Tennessee Pass
Take Interstate 70 to U.S. Highway 24 at Minturn and head south along this scenic byway. On the ascent up Battle Mountain toward Red Cliff, the aspens have turned brilliant shades of yellow and orange, with the occasional reds scattered throughout.

  •     Upper Red Sandstone Road
On the north side of I-70 in Vail is Red Sandstone Road, which leads to some quick and close fall colors viewing. The road is bumpy and a slow ride in a car, and there will likely be heavy traffic both from cars and mountain bikers.

  •     Beaver Creek and Edwards
Beaver Creek Village and Bachelor Gulch offer access to both hiking trails and scenic drives through aspen groves. East Lake Creek in Edwards is also a good trail for viewing mid-valley aspens.

  •     Eagle
A drive down Brush Creek Road, south of Eagle, toward Yeoman Park or Sylvan Lake State Park is full of colorful hillside views of aspens.

Cool Chick Shops In Vail

"The wives always want to know the cool shops in the area that sell clothing for women and girls, usually women's jackets as soon as they check in," Parker explained. "Right now, before the ski season, there are some great shops that have unique styles and fun clothes for everyday wear or for special occasions. It really is a fun trip to explore these shops and have another adventure, aside from your fall walks or restaurant explorations," Parker said.

Visit the Weedgies and Keelies of Glasgow

Glasgow, whose name means either "green hollow" or "dear family," is the largest of Scotland's cities. It lies along the River Clyde in Scotland's west central lowlands. Although inhabitants of Glasgow are officially called "Glaswegians," other Scots often refer to them as "Keelies" or "Weedgies." Glasgow has been an important center of transatlantic trade since the 18th century and is currently one of Europe's top twenty financial centers.

The City of Glasgow has its own coat of arms that was awarded to the city on October 25, 1866 by Lord Lyon. The elements of the crest symbolize aspects of the life of Kentigern, Glasgow's patron saint. If Saint Kentigern doesn't sound familiar to you, you may be more familiar with his nickname, Saint Mungo. The elements represent miracles Saint Mungo performed in his lifetime.

The city is divided into several districts. They are: 1) City Centre; 2) The West End; 3) The East End; 4) The South Side; and 5) North Glasgow.

The boundaries of City Centre are High Street to the east, the River Clyde to the South, and the M8 motorway to the west and north. City Centre is comprised of the retail and theater district, Merchant City, and the Financial District.

Among these cultural sites are The Theatre Royal, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Mitchell Library, and Cineworld, the world's tallest cinema.

It also contains Kelvingrove Park, the University of Glasgow, the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, and BBC Scotland's Headquarters. It's also the area where Glasgow's biggest annual festival is held each June. The festival is called The West End Festival.

In the East End is the famous Glasgow Barrowland Market, commonly called "The Barras." It's a scenic area that still contains many of the areas original sandstone buildings. One of the must-see sites of the area is the Glasgow Necropolis Cemetery.

The South Side is the largest area and lies to the south of the river Clyde. In this area are important public buildings like Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Scotland Street School Museum and House for an Art Lover and The National Football Stadium Hampden Park in Mount Florida.
