Waterford Crystal did not own any manufacturing plants other than the ones in Ireland. The new owners have outsourced the production to other manufactures. They produce Waterford products on the same production lines as their own products using the same formula as their crystal
Got your blog! It was a little bit of a struggle, but I was finally able to get your blog. I love your writing! I'm also glad that you've been able to Skype with Meem. I'll see if U Mike can get my Skype working & then maybe we can Skype, too.
Does your 9mm have to be loaded all the time except when you clear it?
Stay safe! Love you!

Want to thank Dr. Nic for the great advice on MP. Just want to thank you for the great insight that you gave on visiting MP and climbing Huayna Picchu.
I want to add to the folks who are planning a trip to MP that the best time to go is late May. I went May 28, 2009, and the day I went was the end of the rainy season. It has not rained a drop since.
By going at the end of the rainy season, your photos are guaranteed to include a lot of lush green grass from the terrances at MP and from the surrounding trees that are on the mountain. You can check the five day weather forecast at MP by clicking the following website:

It was websites like Dr. Nic's that helped me plan a very successful trip to Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu is beautiful. For people planning a trip to MP, you should do your homework. Study the guidebooks and the Internet. Know where to find the principle structures before going. This will save a lot of valuable time. I went to MP during last week of May, 2009. The rainy season had just stopped. Be aware that the paths and steps are irregular, therefore one should have good hiking boots. When I was there, they had about 1,000 visitors per day. But in June, July, August, one can expect the visitor count to increase to 2,500 a day. I wanted to climbed Huayana Picchu, but I had an inflamed large toe from new hiking boots. However, I took photos of just about all the principal structures of MP, and they turned out real good! The classical view of the MP Complex taken from the Caretaker's Hut was out of this world. I talked to people who climbed Huayana Picchu, and I was told that it not a particular hard climb. The things that one must be aware of is that there are two tunnels that must be crawled through. One person said that it caused them some claustrophobia. The other thing that one must realize that at the summit one must negotiate the irregular boulders that leave very little flat surfaces. However, the photos are spectacular. The MP Complex was sensational, and I plan to go back. B.G.
When I was active duty Navy, I had many travel adventures. Now that I'm reserves and living the semi-civilian life, I hope to have many more!... full info
