I would love a threesome for one whole night with these three men, call me!!!! - They are very "HOT AND HANDSOME"!!!
I have never done incest, but incest between same-sex partners is ok, however between opposite-sex partners incest is not NOT ok at all (but some might class it as "discrimination against heterosexuals")
I love these three "cool and ausim" males - Oh yeah, very sexy (I would love to sleep with the three of them in my bed and get-it-on). I fully agree with EVaNE85, opposite-sex incest is illegal (and should stay that way). However same-sex incest should be LEGAL!!!!
Actually, I'm good with the posing, no-sex thing. initially the whole incest thing freaked me, as a bi-married man with kids, I've got triplets (maternal, one girl, two boys -not identical), this I can handle - I've already got a favorite. The big-dicked one. And yes, it IS because he's got the biggest cock outta the 3 of 'em.
Not that I'm advocating it. The two guys were quite unabashed about relieving their mutual sexual urges when younger, were well adjusted and had different lovers once they got older. Straight incest is quite a different matter.
A mate of mine used to get shagged regularly by his older brother; now whilst I wouldn't personally do it with any of my bruvs ( they're all straight in any case!) I would hesitate to judge what others willingly get up to. Gay incest surely has different implications from straight where conception is possible.
If all three are truly gay in their personal lives then this may go toward proving the gay gene theory. On the other hand, it may just be a very slick marketing gimmick on their part. Just because they are more intimate, touching and kissing each other doesn't make it incest. There was a time, believe it or not, that men used to be able to touch each other in public and no one thought anything of it.
They're all hung nicely....
They're all very handsome....
They're of Italian ancestry....
enough said.....they are hot!
omg. they are so hot. they can do me anytime, anywhere they want.
"JHNPhillips"....... my partner agrees with me, that you should learn to write proper English. As well, you should also stuff it where the sun don't shine. Call me a queen will ya now. At least I can spell.
Like I said earlier, these three are sicko's!
Who ever said three is company was right! These three are hot there is no sex between them thus no incest. The three may jerk off together and sure pleasure.
They are hot! I think their mother deserves a medal for bringing them into the world! Gee Whiz!
Wow! Amazing! as to the incest part I doubt they can mate and produce off-spring..LOL
I think being surrounded by hotness X3 would be incredible! The thought of the three of them around me at once is hot as hell.
each to his own. you self righteous queens-ryanmatt and i want a coo- should back off. or not look>
These dudes dicks are like 12 in. Thats kinda creepy and the fact that theyre brothers... weird
i want all of them to do me at the same time
LOL It wasn't "sick" and "creepy" enough for ryanmatt and Iwantacoo to NOT click on the link though. Give me a break.
When u watch their videos though it seems like the same brother is always out of the action and stroking himself. I would love all 3 servicing me. I give one oral, while the other fucks my ass and I fuck the 3rd one. I get hard just thinking about it.
I would enjoy giving all three of them a BJ
now if only they could find another triplet set that would be wild. Not sure if I would be comfortable having sex in the same room as my brothers. They may be triplets but, they are not all the same in the cock department.
hehe i'll bet their parent are saying "oh no ..No Grandkids"
but seriouly these guys are hot..!!!!!
wow....all three are really hung :)
Well -- they ARE doing some "touching" -- they're clearly comfortable being naked together. They may not have sex "with" each other in videos, but if they are gay, they've probably experimented in private. The incest taboo makes sense in hetro sex, where wierd offspring may result, and it certainly makes sense if the relative is a father or uncle taking advantage of youth and inexperience. That's rape. But brothers, mature and consenting?
They're cute ;)
Just for the record: Incest is illegal, because childs of incestuous partners are more prone to serious genetical defects than others. Since gays cannot reproduce, I don't see a problem.
I once had a threesome with set of identical twins and never who I was playing with - BUT with identical triplets? I'd probable go crazy.
Guys... they do not have sex with each other... there is no incest involved in their movies. They do four-way tag teams... no contact between them.
Well ryanmatt, many may view a gay man as a sicko. the boys are hot. you looked for a reason, didn't you?
Amen to that ryanmatt... incest is illegal for a reason.. That's creapy...
"Three sick puppies", in my book! I'm gay, and if any of my two brothers "EVER" tried to touch, or show interest in me sexually. I would have insisted on them going for therapy.
These three are sicko's, in my book.
holy shit.......they can gang bang me any time and any way they want..........esp the one in pic 3...i think his dick is biggest.
Wow! I've heard of "double your pleasure" but this is "triple your pleasure!" These guys are beautiful! I'll be looking for more!
Nice Surprise! .................

|Premedication for Contrast Medium Allergies FactFinder
Committed to providing helpful information to International Spine Intervention Society members about key patient safety issues, the Patient Safety Committee has developed a FactFinder series. FactFinders will explore and debunk myths surrounding patient safety issues. The intent of this FactFinder is to present the evidence regarding the effectiveness of premedication for contrast medium allergies that impact the delivery of spinal procedures.
Myth: In patients with radiocontrast media (RCM) allergy, it is safe to proceed with RCM injection as long as the patient is premedicated with steroids and antihistamines.
Fact: Although premedication likely reduces the risks associated with injecting RCM, no premedication regimen has been proven safe for a RCM allergic reaction.
Conclusions & Recommendations
Mild reactions: include nausea, vomiting, and mild urticaria. These signs and symptoms appear self-limited without evidence of progression. Treatment usually entails only observation and reassurance, however, these reactions may progress into a more severe category.
Delayed reactions occur anywhere from three hours to seven days following RCM administration. With the exception of contrast-induced nephropathy, the more common reactions include cutaneous xanthem, pruritus without urticaria, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and headache. For the most part these reactions are self-limited. Delayed cutaneous reactions are more common in patients who have had a previous contrast reaction.
Contrast media are usually classified as "ionic" or "non-ionic". Ionic RCM typically, but not always, have higher osmolality and more side effects. Examples of ionic RCM include: Diatrizoate (Hypaque), Metrizoate (Isopaque), and Ioxaglate (Hexabrix). Non-ionic RCM have lower osmolality and tend to have fewer side effects. Ionic RCM ionize in water while non-ionic RCM dissolves in water, but does not ionize. Examples of non-ionic RCM include: Iopamidol (Isovue), Iohexol (Omnipaque), Ioxilan (Oxilan), Iopromide (Ultravist), and Iodixanol (Visipaque).
When ionic RCM is administered, mild immediate reactions occur in 3.8%-12.7% of patients, while 0.7%-3.1% of patients have mild immediate reactions when non-ionic RCM is administered. In intravenous procedures, severe immediate reactions to ionic RCM occur at a rate of 0.1%-0.4%. It is estimated that fatal reactions occur in 1-3/100,000 RCM injections.3 Given these differences in complication rates, most physicians tend to preferentially utilize non-ionic contrast.
There are two types of reactions to RCM: anaphylactoid and chemotoxic. The most common reactions to RCM are anaphylactoid. Even though they have anaphylactic features such as immediate onset, vasodilatation, increased vascular permeability, edema, and bronchospasm, the reaction is not initiated by an allergen-IgE complex. The pathway by which mast cells become stimulated has not been clarified. These reactions are not dose and concentration dependent above the minimum threshold. That threshold has not been defined for interventional spine procedures.
There are three types of nonanaphylactoid reactions. Chemotoxic reactions are organ specific and include nephrotoxicity, cardiovascular toxicity, and neurotoxicity. Chemotoxic reactions are based on the pharmacology of the contrast molecule and are typically more severe and are related to dose and concentration.2 The other two nonanaphylactoid reactions are vasovagal and idiopathic.
In an attempt to avoid allergic reactions to RCM, two different approaches to premedication have been proposed:
In addition to the aforementioned protocol, adding an H2 blocker one hour before the procedure has also been suggested. Do not add an H2 blocker if the patient has not already had an H1 blocker.4
These protocols are for elective procedures and should not be used to treat a reaction.
Premedication is not universally successful. In a large study of intravenous contrast medium injections, there were reactions in 0.75% of injections. Of the 0.75% reactions, 18% were breakthrough reactions. Of those breakthrough reactions, only 1.6% were severe.5
In patients who received steroid premedication, the incidence of respiratory symptoms secondary to iodinated contrast media was reduced from 1.4% to 0.4%. The incidence of respiratory symptoms with hemodynamic instability was reduced from 0.9% to 0.2%.6
The literature cited above is limited to intravenous injections of RCM. With that caveat, since premedication prior to injection of RCM can only reduce the risks of a severe reaction, the risks and benefits of the proposed injection in addition to the risks and benefits of injecting RCM must be carefully weighed.
Myth: A history of seafood allergy prevents the injection of RCM.
Fact: Individuals with anaphylactic reactions are at a mildly increased risk of developing an adverse reaction to RCM.
Based on a written survey of academic radiologists and interventional cardiologists, 37.2% of responders reported that they would withhold RCM based on a history of seafood allergy.7 That decision doesn't match the science. Iodine/iodide is not the primary cause of anaphylactoid reactions to iodinated contrast media; it is postulated that overload of the mast cells by the large contrast molecule is the primary cause of this type of reaction.2 While shellfish do contain iodine, tropomyosins are the major allergen in shellfish allergies. These proteins are important in muscle contraction and are not related to iodine. 2
However, patients with shellfish allergies may not be perfectly safe either. They could have increased atopic susceptibility and therefore need to be questioned about all other allergies, as the other allergies could predispose them to an anaphylactoid reaction. 2
The risks and benefits of the proposed injection, in addition to the risks and benefits of injecting RCM in a patient with a seafood allergy must be carefully considered.

also comes with Supergirl
, since it's the same price as the one that doesn't include the extra figure. Check out what figure packs are available too, as some are half price. Orders over $19.00 also get free shipping.

New LEGO� Dimensions Content Tries Not To Hog Your Hard Drive
Posted by
on September 27, 2016 at 10:08 PM CST:
The patch to my PS4 version of LEGO® Dimensions finished up a while ago. Despite being over 10 Gigabytes in size, apparently it was not intended to add the majority of the new content. Instead, it overhauled the game files to enable you to pick and choose what new levels get downloaded to your hard drive, which are then unlocked by the appropriate minifigure packs.

I started my PS4 this morning, and it began downloading a 10.34 Gigabyte patch for LEGO® Dimensions. I assume this large patch adds the content unlocked by the latest batch of Dimensions figure packs, identified by their translucent orange stands.

The entire stock of LEGO® Dimensions Level, Team and Fun packs I found at my local LEGO store, (not counting the starter sets required to play the game) were half price. They were all older generation packs as far as I know, and I did not see any of the newer ones on the shelf.

My brother gave me a surprise gift of three LEGO® Dimensions fun packs when I got home today. Two of them (The Slimer and Bane fun packs) were marked down to $5.99 USD at the local LEGO® Store. He mentioned several others were on sale as well, though he couldn't recall them very well. It sounds like the older ones in particular were discounted. Considering the minifigure packs are about 4 bucks for a random character, 6 bucks for a minifigure and an accessory of choice is a great deal, even if you don't have the game.

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois, Eastern Division
September 30, 2004.
ROBERT BRANDON, Plaintiff,
ROD BLAGOJEVICH, both as Governor of the State of Illinois and individually, and DR. CAROL ADAMS, both as Secretary of Human Services of the State of Illinois and individually Defendant.
Before this Court is Rod Blagojevich and Carol Adams' (known
collectively as "Defendants") motion to dismiss Robert Brandon's
Amended Complaint, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). For the reasons set forth below,
Defendants' motion to dismiss is GRANTED in part and DENIED in
part. Defendants' motion to dismiss all claims against them in
their official capacities is GRANTED. Defendants' motion to
dismiss all claims against them in their individual capacities is
I. Legal Standard for Motion to Dismiss
Pursuant to Fed.R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), a complaint should be
dismissed if the court lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter
of the suit. Digiore v. State of Illinois, 962 F.Supp. 1064,
1069 (N.D. Ill. 1997). The plaintiff bears the burden of
establishing that the jurisdictional requirements have been met. Kontos v. United States Dept. of
Labor, 826 F.2d 573, 576 (7th Cir. 1987). When a defendant moves
for dismissal pursuant to Fed.R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), the plaintiff
must support its allegations with competent proof of
jurisdictional facts. Thomson v. Gaskill, 315 U.S. 442, 446
In ruling on a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed.R. Civ. P.
12(b)(6), the Court "must accept all well pleaded allegations as
true. In addition, the Court must view these allegations in the
light most favorable to the plaintiff." Gomez v. Illinois State
Board of Education, 811 F.2d 1030, 1039 (7th Cir. 1987). A
complaint should not be dismissed "unless it appears beyond doubt
that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his
claim which would entitle him to relief." Conley v. Gibson,
II. Facts
Plaintiff Brandon brings his claims against the Defendants
pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et.
seq. ("FLSA"), and the Portal-to-Portal Act, 29 U.S.C. et.
seq., (Am. Compl., ¶ 1). Plaintiff brings his action on behalf
of himself and all other unnamed Plaintiffs of the class, who are
either present or past salaried employees of the Defendants, and
were designated as Personal Aides (Am. Compl., ¶ 4). Plaintiff
contends that Defendants have compensated members of the
Plaintiff Class, including Brandon, on a "salaried" basis when,
Plaintiff contends, the job duties of the Plaintiff and other
members of the Plaintiff class did not and do not qualify under
any of the exemptions established by the FLSA. (Am. Compl., ¶
11). As such, Brandon contends, he and other members of the
Plaintiff class were and are required to work in excess of forty
hours in a work week, without pay, for those hours over forty at
a rate of one and one-half times their regular hourly rate, pursuant to the
requirements of the FLSA. (Am. Compl., ¶ 12). Brandon presents
his claim in four counts. The first count prays for damages for
Plaintiff and his class at a rate of one and one-half times their
regular rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours
during any single workweek. (Am. Compl. ¶ 12). The second count
prays for damages for the willful violation of the FLSA, and
alleges that Plaintiff is entitled to unpaid overtime
compensation for all overtime hours worked during the three years
prior to the filing of his complaint. (Am. Compl. ¶¶ 13-14). The
third count requests liquidated damages pursuant to
29 U.S.C. 260. (Am. Compl., ¶¶ 12-13). In addition, Brandon presents a
pendent state law claim for an alleged violation of the Illinois
Minimum Wage Law ("IMWL"), pursuant to 820 ILCS Section. 105 et
seq. (Am. Compl. ¶¶ 13-18).
III. Analysis
Defendants move to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint pursuant to
12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Defendants contend that Brandon's claims against them in their
official and individual capacities are only nominally against
them, and the State remains the real, substantial party in
interest. Defendants contend that the State is entitled to
Eleventh Amendment immunity for Plaintiff's claims for
retroactive money damages under the FLSA, the Portal-to-Portal
Act, and his supplemental state law claim under the IMWL. In
addition, Defendants contend, Brandon does not allege that
Blagojevich is or was him employer as required by the FLSA and
IMWL, and because Blagojevich had no personal involvement with
respect to Plaintiff's claims, all claims against him should be
dismissed. Each of Defendants' arguments will be addressed in
turn. A. Are Defendants Entitled to Eleventh Amendment Immunity From
Plaintiff's Claims?
As stated, Defendants contends that although Brandon has named
individual Defendants in his Amended Complaint, his claims are in
essence against the State, and therefore, Defendants contend that
they are entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity from Plaintiff's
suit for retroactive money damages under the FLSA, the
Portal-to-Portal Act and the IMWL.
The Eleventh Amendment bars suits brought by private citizens
against "unconsenting states." Digiore v. State of Illinois,
962 F.Supp. 1064, 1069 (N.D. Ill. 1997) (citing MSA Realty
Corp. v. State of Illinois, 990 F.2d 288, 291 (7th Cir. 1993).
"This immunity protects states from liability regardless of
whether the claims at issue are state law or federal law claims."
Ryan v. State of Illinois. No. 96 C 246, 1996 WL 109699 at *2
(N.D. Ill. 1996).
In a case such as the one before the Court, where state
officials are named defendants, the Court must ask whether "the
state is the real, substantial party in interest." Digiore,
962 F.Supp. at 1069 (quoting Ford Motor Co. v. Department of
Treasury, 323 U.S. 459, 464 (1945). "In practical terms, this
means that private plaintiffs may not sue state officials
requesting money damages or seeking injunctive relief that would
require retroactive payments from the state treasury." Digiore,
962 F.Supp. at 1069 (internal citations omitted)). In addition,
while courts may hear suits that allege federal statutory
violations on the part of state officials, if the individuals are
sued in their official capacities, the court can only issue an
injunction contemplating prospective relief and cannot award
money damages. Id. at 1070 (internal citations omitted). Thus,
plaintiffs can only sue state officials in their individual
capacities, wherein relief is confined to the official's personal
assets. Id. (citing Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159,
165-66). Consequently, a state may be sued in federal court only if it
waives its Eleventh Amendment immunity, thereby consenting to the
suit. Ryan, 1996 WL 109699 at *2 (citing Pennhurst State
School & Hospital v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 104 (1984). In
addition, if the state does consent, that consent must be
"unequivocally expressed." Id. There is no indication here that
the State has waived its immunity and consents to be sued in
federal court. Further, while Congress may abrogate a state's
Eleventh Amendment immunity pursuant to section 5 of the
Fourteenth Amendment, See Seminole v. 517 U.S. 44, 59 (1996),
there has been no abrogation of Eleventh Amendment immunity under
the provisions that Plaintiff brings suit. See Digiore,
962 F.Supp. at 1073. Consequently, because Plaintiff cannot sue Rod
Blagojevich and Carol Adams in their official capacities, all
claims against them in the official capacities are dismissed.
B. Does Brandon State a Claim for Relief Against Adams and
Blagojevich, in Their Individual Capacities?
Although the Eleventh Amendment bars suit against state
officials in their official capacities, state officials may still
be sued in their individual capacities. Digiore,
962 F.Supp. at 1078 (citing MSA Realty Corp., 962 F.Supp. at 291). "The
`threshold issue' for determining if the plaintiff has properly
brought a personal-capacity suit is whether the complaint
`clearly claim[s] against the defendant in his individual
capacity.'" Digiore, 962 F.Supp. at 1078 (citing Hardin v.
Straub, 954 F.2d 1193, 1199-2000 (6th Cir. 1992)). Usually, a
plaintiff can meet this requirement by a statement in his
complaint. Id. Next, the Court must determine whom the suit
seeks to hold liable. "If personal assets will satisfy the
judgment, the state is not the real party in interest and the Eleventh Amendment permits suit against the
individual; but if state funds will be tapped, the defendants are
named only nominally as officials and immunity bars the suit."
Digiore, 962 F. Supp. at 1078.
Construing all facts in the light most favorable to the
Plaintiff, Brandon properly states a claim for personal
liability, and his suit against the Defendants, in their
individual capacities, is not barred by the Eleventh Amendment.
In his complaint, Brandon states, "Plaintiff in good faith
believes that any ultimate liability found in his favor or the
favor of other similarly situated current and former employees,
would be capable of being paid by the personal individual
Defendants named herein and that state treasury monies would not
have to [be] drawn upon." Id. (Am. Compl., ¶ 12). Defendant's
arguments that Governor Blagojevich cannot be considered an
employer because he had no personal responsibility for the
Personal Aides program are unavailing at this stage of the
proceedings, as in his Complaint, Brandon does allege that
Blagojevich has personal responsibility, and was directly or
indirectly involved (through his agents) with the implementation
of the program, and thus, can be considered an "employer" for
purposes of the FLSA and IMWL. (See Am. Compl., ¶ 3).
Consequently, Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiff's claims
against them in their individual capacities is DENIED, as
Brandon's complaint states a claim upon which relief can be
granted. IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Defendants' motion to dismiss is
GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The Court grants Defendants'
motion to dismiss all claims against them in their official
capacities and denies the motion to dismiss all claims against
them in their individual capacities.

Versailles including night show
We are wanting to see the whole of versailles or as much as we can! We are going on a saturday 10/9 which we know will be busy but we are willing to put up with this as we would like to attend the night fountain show and the royal serenade also. My question is should we just buy tickets for entry with the shows included and only go during the night which is a tour that includes an hour beforehand to walk around and see the palace OR should we buy separate tickets for entry and for the night show and then just spend the whole day roaming around seeing everything and then see the shows and make our way back?
Also recommendations for best way there and back from paris please.
Parking and Eating out in Versailles
This is my second question, following the one in the Paris forum.
On the website of the hotel in Rue Richaud in Versailles it says there are 9 spots to park your car on the hotel parking lot,first come,first serve. If they are filled up, is it easy to find a parking lot close to the hotel?
Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant not too far from the hotel? Right now the plan is to go into Paris for dinner, but I'm sure there are nice places in Versailles as well.
Thank you for any help.
Map - Gardens of Versailles
I would like to purchase a map of Versailles ahead of time, to plan our day in May,
then take with us.
I cannot find a source for a modern one-page (souvenir) map of the gardens.
Any help?
Christmas market
I 'll be in Versailles on 4th December. Is there any Christmas market at that time? And where? And what is the most interesting place with Christmas decoration apart from the chateau?
private visit or tour?
If I decided to take a tour to Versailles (from Paris) instead of going on my own, would I have any advantage such as: saving money? Saving time? Skipping lines?
Going to Versaille (hours)
Can i go after 9.00 am? (ill buy tickets online)
Free admission to Versailles
Hi guys! Bonjour! I'm going to Versailles with my husband this August from Ireland. I read that people that are social welfare beneficiaries have the right to free entry to Versailles. My husband and I are both on social welfare in Ireland and I was wondering if only French social welfare beneficiaries get free entry or beneficiaries from Europe as well? Merci :)
security line
While visiting Versailles, if we want to visit the gardens and the Trianon Palaces and the Queen's Hamlet first before the Chateau, do you need to go through the security line? Or is the security line only for the Chateau?
Luggage Storage
Can one store luggage safely at Versailles Chateau while touring the complex?
Versailles -- free for study abroad students?
My friend and I are 20-year-old American college students, studying abroad for a semester in France. We both desperately want to visit Versailles, but are planning our visit around admission costs ... we've read conflicting answers about whether or not we can get into the palace/grounds for free!
First of all, we're obviously not citizens of the EU: we have American passports. We are, however, LIVING in the EU at this point in time -- we have student photo ID cards from our French university, as well as student visas and debit cards from French bank accounts. We're staying with host families here, so we have French addresses ... will all that enough to qualify as an "18-26 EU resident student"?
If it helps, we've been able to receive free entry to other national monuments (for which you also have to be an 18-26 EU resident), but not any as popular/highly-trafficked as Versailles.
What's accessible on days with Grandes Eaux Musicales
We are planning our first trip to Paris this coming weekend. Arriving Saturday, leaving Wednesday morning, so our only chance to see Versailles will be Sunday or Tuesday. The website says: "Please note that during the Grandes Eaux musicales (musical water shows), the musical gardens and the shows, the gardens and the grove are not accessible to the holders of the pass. "
What does this mean exactly? Does that mean that if we go on Sunday (a day for the Grandes Eaux Musicales) that we would not be able to see the gardens and the grove? Or that we'd need to buy a separate ticket? Or that they aren't accessible DURING the show but we could see the gardens/grove before or after?
Merci -- thank you so much for your help!

Taxi Paris to Versailles
Bonjour! I'm travelling to Paris and visiting Chateau Versailles on Sun 13 October 13 with my 82 year old parents.
I'm considering catching a Taxi from central Paris to make the day easier on my parents - conserve their energy for the Chateau!
Can anyone tell me how easy this will be?
Do the Paris taxi's travel to Versailles?
Do I need to book them?
Is it easy to catch a taxi from the palace back to central Paris?
Your help would be greatly appreciated :)
Versailles - DIY or trip?
Hi, I have been to Paris loads of times and to Versailles once - then, we opted for a coach trip and all the entry tickets etc were laid-on. We are going again in December with two friends who have never visted before and were thinking of hopping-on a train to Versailles and doing the trip ourselves so as to give us more flexibility with times etc. Is there a huge difference in the queueing times, or am I likely to be delayed much as compared with organised tour groups? I hoped that members who have done this trip might advise how I should play it - especially since December in paris can be quite crowded.
Also, which are the best stations to depart from and arrive at?
Transportation from Versailles palace to France Miniature park
What is the best way to get to France Miniature park from the place of Versailles?
Versailles - Busy Christmas to New Year?
We will be visiting Versailles on or around 28th December 2013. We are hoping that we will miss the hoards of tourists at this time. Can anyone enlighten us on whether we will miss them?
Thanks in advance!
Versailles trip
what will u recommend i i am going to versailles. Just wondering.
versailles at christmastime
hello, my husband and i are planning a visit to versailles (taking a train from paris). can you tell me if versailles will be decorated for christmas (dec. 16th) at that time?
Grandes Eaux musicales - Worth it?
I'm researching our trip to Paris, and am trying to decide if we should try to do the musical fountain show at Versailles. We are flexible on our dates to go to Versailles and I'm wondering if we should try to GO during the musical fountain shows? Or avoid going then since our Pass won't allow us access and it may be extra crowded? It's our anniversary so I'd love to see something extra special but only if it's worth the hassle :)
On the Pass website: "Please note that during the « Grandes Eaux musicales (musical water shows), the musical gardens and the shows, the gardens and the grove are not accessible to the holders of the PARIS MUSEUM PASS"
Which station?
In April we'll be staying at a hotel near the Sevres-Lecourbe station. We want to visit Versailles on a Sunday (not Easter). Which RER-C station is closest (or easiest) to get to from our hotel (we're 2 older ladies on foot) and how early do they start from that station and what is the frequency? Cost? Many thanks!
Ms Anita Sachs
I would like to know how much does it cost to go from Paris to Verssailles by bus and how long does it take. Can I use Carte D'Orange for the trip?
Couple of questions about visiting the chateau/gardens
My apologies in advance if these questions have been covered but I seem unable to find solid information!
We will visit the palace on a Wed. or Thursday (mid-september) as we'll be using our Paris Museum passes and there will be no special events on those days that the pass won't cover - such as Jardins Musicaux.
We'll take the RER C from Musee d'Orsay as that's the closest to us. Will ask for return (rétour) tickets and that will get us two - one to the palace and one to come back with, right? RER tickets don't need validation - that's done just by insertion into the turnstiles, right? I know to hang onto them for exiting the station.
I see that the gardens are open an hour before the palace and we plan to be there early. For the life of me I can't see on a map where you enter the gardens? Or should we just plan on being in the ticket-holder entrance line (Gate A) by 8:30 to enter the palace before it gets too busy?
I also can't find a complete list of items - other than strollers, luggage and large umbrellas - that are not allowed in the palace. I see food is also forbidden yet many visitors mention that they bring their own bottled beverages, snacks and even lunches. Do you simply check those items upon entry to the palace and retrieve them on your way out?
Although audio guides are nice, we usually opt to purchase a printed tour guide (book) instead as then we have the information/pictures when we get home. Has anyone purchased one at the entrance to the palace that they found particularly good both for self touring and as a nice souvenir to take home? One with a good map inside would be especially nice. Good books/guides from places we've been to get used over and over at our house. :)
If it looks like rain on Wed and Thursday, we might have to go on Tuesday.
Any idea how much extra the Jardins Musicaux would be on top of our museum passes, and if we have to stand in a long, long line JUST for tickets to the garden on that day? The website is unclear on that. It's also unclear in this event includes the ENTIRE garden or just parts that can be skipped. We will want to walk out the Trianons and the hamlet, and wouldn't miss those amazing gardens anyway!
interested in visiting the Gardens...
what is an affordable accomodation? bed and breakfast... motel... guest house... whatever.......
Buying Versailles tickets in Paris? children free? lines? biking the gardens? - 4 questions
Greetings! I will be visiting Versailles Palace on Friday, August 13, bringing with me 3 children, ages 11, and 16.
1) I read a recent post about buying tickets in Paris at FNAC. Can anyone please verify this?
2)I see on the Versailles website that under 18s are free. Would we still have to wait in the line to purchase tickets?
3) we'll be visiting on a Friday, will we have to pay extra for the gardens?
4) can we bicycle the gardens? if so, how and where can we rent.
Thank you all!
restaurant reservations
Visiting in August with my husband and daughter.
Is there a reservation needed for the restaurants at Versailles? (La Petite Venice or La Flottille)
Thanks in advance
Planning a visit to Versailles on Bastille Day!
I would very much like to see Les Grands Eaux Musicales and since I won't be in Paris during the weekend, I can only visit on July 14--of all days! Anyway, my question is, how early and till what time does the train from and to Paris run? My main goal is to see the Trianons because the last time I went to Versailles a couple years ago, I only managed to see the main palace, Hall of Mirror, King's apartments and the garden. So I want to focus on the fountain show and the Trianons this time. Do you think an afternoon would be enough--as the Trianons don't open till noon and the fountain show is only in the afternoon, right?
I would love to be able to get back to Paris before dinner time as I think the traffic downtown is going to be a problem due to the Bastille Day fireworks celebration. Any good tips or advice for me, please?
parking in Versailles
Hi, I rented a room in the hotel Le Home St-Louis in Versailles FRance. The hotel doesn't offer Parking but does anybody know if it's easy to park out there or not.
Paris Pass and Versailles
My wife and I are traveling to Paris in June. One of the spots we will visit is Versailles. My question is will the Paris Pass enable us to take part in the various tours i.e. the Garden Tours, or will we have to purchase separate tickets for those. Thanks in advance. Jeff

No way was I not going all in on a boat the way the guy played. Was hoping he had trip aces with a high kicker. Personally I wouldn't have called with A7 with a raise but this is micro..
You got your cash in with the best hand... from what I'm learning, you should be happy, even though you lost... because if you look at poker in LONG TERM you know that of course your boats are going to get beat here and there... but look at how much of a favorite you were there (about 75%, maybe more) so that means over the long term if you keep getting your money in, in that situation you will win 75% of the time... You did the right move, and if you keep making that right move you'll make money... although this one time happened to fall into that 25% range.
I still agree that it sucks.. and if it makes you feel any better you can curse the guy out and say "F*$K, HOW MUCH OF A DONKEY ARE YOU!? ISN'T IT OBVIOUS I HAVE A BOAT!?! JACKA#%"... that seems to ease the pain a bit.
Someone at a table at MGM last week was mad at the way a played a similar hand. I had pocket Q's at a 3-6 limit table. There were 4 players involved, I was on the button, and betting was capped preflop (I re-raised when I could). The flop came A-A-Q, so again, betting was capped, the turn was a 10. One player folded and betting was again capped. The river was a Q (giving me quads with an A kicker). I raised and the other two called. One guy had pocket 10's, the other an A-K.
So, someone (not involved in that hand) went off about how I could play that hand as strongly as I did, as after the flop and turn there were a few hands that could have beaten me and everyone else was raising. As I see it, you have to play those hands. Sure someone could have had Aces, or A-10 and the river could have been something else, but what are the chances? I am willing to lose a big pot every now and then because in the long run you will get the percentages.
re: Poker & Did I misplay this fullhouse?
I don't really see it misplayed. I would had forced him all in on the flop, but he wasn't going to fold unless he was crazy and you would had lost anyway so either way its played your going to lose, and either way it would had been played right IMO.
i would have played it the same way. sometimes, you just get bad luck, but i agree w/the person who said you wanna get your $ out when you have the best hand and the highest odds of winning. you get a bad beat now and then, but you'll take his money over time.
re: Poker & Did I misplay this fullhouse?
I would have played it exactly like that... You flopped a monster, well played m8, with a bit of a bad luck
I have had the same flop more than once and i've lost half of the time, but you have to understand people wont fold their trips, a normal player wont, not even knowing theyre outkicked.
Best regards

NUI Galway Lecturer Wins MIT Innovation Award for Research on Ideas
Wednesday, 25 September 2013
Dr Eoin Whelan, Business Information Systems, School of Business, Public Policy and Law, NUI Galway.
Research identified the key distinction between 'idea scouts' who introduce new ideas and 'idea connectors' who help make them a reality.
NUI Galway Lecturer in Business Information Systems Dr Eoin Whelan is the winner of the prestigious 2013 Richard Beckhard Memorial Prize awarded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan Technology Review for the 'most outstanding' article published on Enterprise Social Media.
The article titled 'Creating Employee Networks That Deliver Open Innovation' is authored by Dr Eoin Whelan, Salvatore Parise, Jasper de Valk and Rick Aalbers. They examine how companies such as Procter & Gamble, Cisco Systems, Genzyme, General Electric and Intel are often acknowledged innovation leaders. The authors argue that others have failed to match them because the mix of external and internal ideas for innovation doesn't happen as efficiently.
The authors identified, and mapped, the mix of real-life and virtual connections that go into bringing an idea to fruition. They identified 'idea scouts' who, often sourcing information on the web, combine that with their company's expertise to come up with an idea. The authors also identified, however, 'idea connectors' who have the interpersonal skills and informal contacts to get the buy-in to make those ideas a reality. Interestingly 'idea connectors' aren't necessarily employed as such, or can come from any level, senior or junior, in the organisation.
Dr Eoin Whelan said, 'we're very honoured to receive this prestigious award, and hope that it will focus further attention on our research in social media in enterprise. The research is, we feel, of particular benefit to senior managers and R&D leaders to identify, encourage and reward the idea scouts and connectors for their work in bringing ideas to life."
A member of the award winning NUI Galway Cairnes School of Business, Public Policy and Law, Dr Whelan, from Portlaoise, Co. Laois, lectures in Business Information Systems, and his research focuses on how technologies such as social media and big data both enable and constrain organisational innovation and productivity.
The NUI Galway Business Information Systems degree course in the Cairnes School is one of only eight European undergraduate programmes to receive five-year EPAS (European Foundation for Management Development) accreditation.

May 23, 1983
DENNIS P. BRENNAN, as President of the Detectives Endowment Association of the City of New York Inc., and the DETECTIVES ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, INC., Plaintiffs, against EDWARD I. KOCH, as Mayor of the City of New York, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, THE OFFICE OF MUNICIPAL LABOR RELATIONS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND THE OFFICE OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendants.
The Detective Endowment Association, a labor organization which is the certified bargaining agent for all policy department detectives employed by the City of New York ("DEA"), and Dennis P. Brennan, its president, commenced this action against the City of New York (the "City"), Edward I. Koch, its mayor, the Office of Municipal Labor Relations
("OMLR") and the Office of Collective Bargaining
("OCB") seeking a declaratory judgment that § 1173-10.0(b) of the new York City Collective Bargaining Law, New York City Administrative Code ("CBL 1173"), is unconstitutional. The statute provides:
No organization seeking or claiming to represent members of the police force of the policy department shall be certified if such organization (i) admits to membership, or is affiliated directly or indirectly with an organization which admits to membership, employees other than members of the policy force of the police department, or (ii) advocates the right to strike.
On May 27, 1981 the DEA's delegate body voted to affiliate with the International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO ("ILA") which admits to membership employees other than members of the police force and which advocates the right of non-municipal employees to strike. Subsequently, plaintiff Brennan notified defendants of the DEA's intention to affiliate with the ILA. Defendants advised plaintiffs that, in their view, the proposed affiliation would violate the provision of CBL 1173, Statement of Stipulated Material Facts at para. 8, and that, if such affiliation were effected, the OMLR would take appropriate action to revoke the DEA's certification, id. at para. 9.
Plaintiffs thereupon commenced the instant action for a judgment declaring that the statute is unconstitutional both on its face and as about to be applied to them in that it deprives them of freedom of association and equal protection of the laws in violation of the first and fourteenth amendments. Plaintiffs also seek to enjoin defendants from revoking the DEA's certification. The parties have cross-moved for summary judgment.
Plaintiffs contend, and defendants do not dispute, that the first amendment protects their right to join labor organizations. They argue that CBL 1173 impermissibly burdens that right by conditioning the benefit of certification upon their forbearing to affiliate with the ILA. In support of their argument plaintiffs rely on a long line of cases which illustate the well settled principle that a state may not constitutinally condition the grant of a privilege or benefit upon the relinquishment of a first amendment right. See, e.g., Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398, 10 L. Ed. 2d 965, 83 S. Ct. 1790 (1963).
While plaintiffs concede that the statute's impact on their associational freedoms is indirect, Transcript of Oral Argument at 6 (hereinafter "Tr. "), they argue that any state statute which impinges upon first amendment rights, even indirectly, must be strictly scrutinized and must constitute the least restrictive means of promoting a compelling state interest.
Plaintiffs further argue that the governmental interest advanced in support of CBL 1173, to wit, maintaining the existence and appearance of impartiality, discipline and loyalty in the police force, see Affidavit of John Guido in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment by City Defendants; Affidavit of Arvid Anderson in Support of [Defendant OCB's] Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment ("Anderson Affidavit"); Tr. at 22-23, does not rise to the level of a compelling state interest and has been consistently rejected by courts as a sufficient basis for denying first amendment rights.
Defendants contend that, since CBL 1173 neither prohibits nor precludes membership in or affiliation with any labor organization, it does not constitute an infringement on plaintiffs' associational freedoms, but rather merely a limitation upon their bargaining rights, which, as even plaintiffs concede, are not protected by the first amendment. Defendants conclude, therefore, that CBL 1173 need only be rationally related to a legitimate government interest.
In International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 344 v. NLRB, 568 F.2d 12 (7th Cir. 1977) (hereinafter "Teamsters,"), the Seventh Circuit considered and rejected a first amendment argument virtually identical to that made here.
In upholding the constitutionality of § 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 159(b)(3) (" § 9(b)(3)"), which precludes certification of an organization which represents guards if that organization admits to membership or affiliates with an organization which represents non-guards, the Seventh Circuit observed that the statute does not restrict the guards' right to join the union, to associate with non-guards or to receive voluntary bargaining rights. Characterizing the degree of infringement of first amendment rights as "incidental and minimal" the Seventh Circuit held that, when balances against the public policy promoted by the statutes, i.e., to avoid conflicting loyalties in persons employed to protect an employer's property, the infringement was too insubstantial to render the statute unconstitutional.Teamsters, 568 F.2d at 20-21.
CBL 1173, like § 9(b)(3), is narrowly drawn and does not directly interfere with the exercise of first amendment rights. It does not prohibit membership in any labor organization. See, e.g., Mescall v. Rochford, 101 L.R.R.M. 3136 (N.D. Ill. 1979), aff'd, 655 F.2d 111 (7th Cir. 1981); Police Officers' Guild v. Washington, 369 F. Supp. 543 (D.D.C. 1973); Melton, v. City of Atlanta, 324 F. Supp. 315 (N.D. Ga. 1971). Nor does it threaten the legal existence of the union or the jobs of its members if an affiliation with non-police union is effected. Indeed, it does not even restrict the DEA from receiving voluntary bargaining rights. On the contrary, like § 9(b)(3), it restricts only the benefit of certification. See also Rogoff v. Anderson, 34 A.D.2d 154, 310 N.Y.S.2d 174 (1st Dep't 1970), aff'd, 28 N.Y.2d 880, 322 N.Y.S.2d 718, 271 N.E.2d 553, appeal dismissed for failure to state a federal question, 404 U.S. 805, 92 S. Ct. 108, 30 L. Ed. 2d 37 (1971). Plaintiffs concede that they have no constitutional right to affiliate for the purpose of certification,
Plaintiffs' Reply Memorandum 2, and have cited no authority to support the proposition that they have a constitutional right to affiliate with the ILA and retain the DEA's certification. Since CBL 1173's impact upon speech or associational rights is at best indirect or insubstantial, the statute must be sustained unless plaintiffs have met their burden of demonstrating that it is arbitrary or irrational. See Kelley v. Johnson, 425 U.S. 238, 247, 96 S. Ct. 1440, 47 L. Ed. 2d 708 (1976).
While plaintiffs contend that CBL 1173 is not reasonably related to maintaining an impartial police force and the defendants' fears about prospective conflicts of interest are baseless, plaintiffs have failed to carry that burden.
The City's interest in maintaining the existence and appearance of policy neutrality is fully as substantial as the interest advanced in support of § 9(b)(3).
Police occupy a key role in our society by virtue of their responsibility for law enforcement, see, e.g., Baker v. Cawley, 459 F. Supp. 1301 (S.D.N.Y. 1978), aff'd, 607 F.2d 994 (2d Cir. 1979), and their loyalties are clearly as important, if not more important, to the City than the loyalties of guards to their employers. This Court cannot, therefore, conclude that the City may not properly recognize and prevent the divided loyalties that could develop if police officers were called upon to police labor disputes involving labor groups with which they were affiliated.
Nor can it be constitutionally dispositive that other legislators in other jurisdictions have not enacted similar legislation, especially since plaintiffs have proffered no evidence to show that in those jurisdictions the factual situations are similar to that which exists in the City. See Anderson Affidavit at para. 21. In short, the City must be allowed the freedom to legislate with respect to its own situation and cannot constitutionally be precluded from doing so merely because other legislators in other places may have made equally rational decisions to the contrary. Moreover, plaintiffs have not established that the failure of such other legislators to enact such legislation was prompted, even in part, by their belief that loyalties resulting from such relationships do not interfere with job performance.
Plaintiffs' conclusory assertion that police officers have long been members of or affiliated with nonpolice organizations without any perceptible effect on their ability to perform their duties to devoid of factual support. However, even if some factual support for that assertion existed, the absence of such experience in the past would still not be sufficient to demonstrate that the City acted irrationally or arbitrarily in precluding such problems in the future. The scope of legislataive rationality is not, cannot and should not be restricted to remedying evils that have already developed, so long as the anticipation of future problems is reasonable.
Finally, the argument that defendants' involvement with the Municipal Labor Committee
and the Uniformed Forces Coalition
proves that defendants are insincere and that their fears are baseless is without merit. While in encouraging the existence of organized labor groups and coalition bargaining the City may also be encouraging cooperation between police and non-police unions, this Court cannot conclude that that conduct establishes that CBL 1173 is unconstitutional. Cooperation between police and non-police unions is clearly not the same as formal affiliation, and the dangers presented by the former are not nearly comparable to those raised by the latter.
On balance, therefore, the public interest advanced by the statute in question outweighs any minimal infringement on plaintiffs' associational rights. The cases relied on by plaintiffs are inapposite. In each of these cases the restrictions imposed on speech and association were both direct and substantial. See, e.g., Police Officers' Guild v. Washington, 369 F. Supp. 543 (D.D.C. 1973).
There remains for consideration plaintiffs' argument that CBL 1173 deprives them of equal protection of the laws because (1) it subjects only unions representing police officers of the police department to its terms whereas other police groups such as the New York State Police ("State Police"), the New York City Transit Authority Police ("Transit Police") and the New York City Housing Authority Police ("Housing Police") are not similarly constrained; and (2) it applies only to police unions.
Since plaintiffs have made no showing that the statute directly and substantially impinges on fundamental rights
or that they are members of a suspect class, the appropriate standard of review is whether the classifications are rationally related to a legitimate government interest.San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1, 40, 36 L. Ed. 2d 16, 93 S. Ct. 1278 (1973).
At the outset it should be noted that disparities in treatment between the New York City Police Department and the State Police and the Transit Police have no relevance to the deprivation of equal protection claim made here. Neither the State Police nor the Transit Police are employed by the City and thus neither is subject to the provisions of CBL 1173.
No alleged denial of equal protection claim can properly be founded on alleged disparities in treatment between those who are subject to the provision of a challenged statute and those who are not.
With respect to the Housing Police, it is not clear that any disparity in treatment has, in fact, been established. The New York City Housing Authority has elected to subject its employees to all the provisions of the New York City Collective Bargaining Law, and therefore, as defendants point out, has presumably subjected the Housing Police to the restriction contained in CBL 1173. Defendant OCB's Memorandum of Law in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment 14. The record is, therefore, devoid of evidence that defendants would apply CBL 1173 differently to these two police organizations.
Even assuming arguendo that the Housing Police and the Transit Police were City employees and that the City nevertheless excluded them from the ambit of CBL 1173, this Court would still not find that plaintiffs had been denied equal protection of the laws. Both the Transit Police and the Housing police perform their functions primarily within the facilities and instrumentalities of their respective employers, to wit, subway cars and stations, buses and public housing developments. Since labor disputes rarely occur on this property, the potential for conflicting loyalties is not comparable to that faced by police officers. Therefore, the Court finds that treating New York City police and other police groups in the City differently would be entirely rational.
See Baker v. Cawley, 459 F. Supp. at 1304-05.
Finally, in view of the duties with which police officers are charged, the Court also finds that it is rational to seek to preserve and promote labor neutrality in the police department while not similarly seeking to promote it in other municipal agencies. See id; Vorbeck v. McNeal, 407 F. Supp. 733, 739 (E.D. Mo.), aff'd mem., 426 U.S. 943, 96 S. Ct. 3160, 49 L. Ed. 2d 1180 (1976). Thus, no denial of equal protection of the laws claim may properly be grounded upon the fact that CBL 1173 does not apply to non-police unions.
Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment is therefore denied. Defendants' cross-motions for summary judgment are granted.
It is SO ORDERED.

They will be rolling out their online trading system in the next four weeks as well. "The SEC has approved the final version of the rules on ETFs, allows us to start processing the various applications for listing. Too short to happen before the end of the first quarter. But it will happen some time in April," PSE president Hans Sicat said. Leading online brokerage COL Financial voiced some concern about the PSE's trading program late last year, and what it would do to pioneers in the space. But Sicat says they'll just have to wait and see. After that, the PSE will be busy with further discussions on its own status as a clearing house for equities and for the developmennt of futures linked to Philippine shares, targeted to list on the Singapore Exchange by the fourth quarter. - Report by Warren de Guzman, ANC News Now, March 19, 2013 Share Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Read More: Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) hans sicat exchange traded fund /entertainment/12/09/16/janella-asked-what-keeps-you-grounded/news/12/09/16/pasig-river-ferry-relaunched-with-shuttle-service/news/12/09/16/2-nabbed-in-separate-drug-busts-in-cdo/news/12/09/16/matobato-asks-ombudsman-to-investigate-duterte/news/12/09/16/fire-razes-5-houses-in-iloilo-city

Garmin Nuvi 885T
Mark Peters : January 12th 2009 - 19:40 CET
Garmin Nuvi 885T GPS :
Garmin, the global leader in satellite GPS navigation, announced the Garmin Nuvi 885T, adding lane assist with junction view as well as dynamic content from MSN Direct to a portable and powerful voice-activated navigator. The Garmin Nuvi 885T was announced in conjunction with the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and will be on display at the Garmin navigation booth. This powerful new navigator gives clear guidance on a 4.3" color touchscreen display (480x272 pixels), and is preloaded with maps of the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. For faster satellite prediction, the Nuvi 885T has Garmin's HotFix feature which automatically calculates and stores critical satellite information.
Garmin Nuvi 885T GPS navigation
"Combining two of Garmin's most popular GPS navigation features - speech recognition and lane assist with junction view - the Garmin Nuvi 885T lets drivers keep both hands on the wheel and takes the guesswork out of navigation," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "And with enhanced MSN Direct services, the Garmin Nuvi 885T GPS navigation device provides much-needed travel information like traffic updates, flight status, Doppler radar, gas prices, news and business headlines and a wireless 'send to GPS' capability."
Garmin GPS Speech recognition
Critically acclaimed for its accuracy and clarity, Garmin's speech recognition technology has set the industry standard and is considered the ultimate safety and convenience feature. After mounting a push-to-talk wireless remote to their steering wheel, users can effortlessly program the Garmin Nuvi GPS by speaking words that correspond to the buttons on the touchscreen display. Drivers can keep their eyes on the road - almost any common task can be performed without ever touching the unit. Speech recognition is available for American English, British English, European French, European Spanish, German, Italian and Netherlands (Dutch) languages.
Garmin Nuvi 885T features
For a clear picture of the road ahead, the Nuvi 885T features lane assist with junction view that details upcoming maneuvers and specific driving directions, including road sign detail and arrows indicating the proper lane for navigation. At any time, drivers can also speak the phrase, "where am I?" and their device will display its exact latitude and longitude coordinates, closest hospitals, police stations, gas stations and nearest address and intersection. Car Drivers can also associate their favorite images with saved locations using Garmin Connect Photos - where users can choose from millions of geo-located photos provided by Google's Panoramio photo sharing community.
Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free calling
The Garmin Nuvi 885-T has Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free calling when paired with compatible phones. These new premium navigators also boast an integrated FM wireless transmitter, allowing users to transmit turn-by-turn directions and street names, MP3s and audio books through their vehicle's stereo. The Garmin Nuvi 885T GPS supports USB 2.0 High Speed, enabling the device to download music, photos and more within minutes. Like the rest of the Garmin Nuvi 800 series, the Nuvi 885T has front-firing speakers and a removable lithium-ion battery.
