"You mean a transit enabled parking lot?" I don't remember it being transit enabled. I used it before it got wiped off my computer. It acted as just a parking lot that plopped on a road. When you zoomed in it looked as though they were parked on the sidewalk. Granted the aesthetics and realism are subtracted from my creations but it does wonders for space. I originally got it from here.

The US's most pathetic highways

Milwaukee, I-94 West of the Marquette Interchange between 43 and 45. They have been working on that stupid section for over 20 years and somehow it remains a major thorughfare for the yuppies in Brookfield to get downtown. -
My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

Ex-Manson follower dying, seeks release from prison
eauclaireliberal posted a topic in Current Events
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Former Manson family member Susan Atkins has requested a "compassionate release" from prison because she has less than six months to live, a California prisons spokeswoman said Friday. Atkins, 60, was convicted in the 1969 slayings of actress Sharon Tate and four others. She had been incarcerated at the California Institution for Women in Corona, California. But Atkins, the state's longest- serving female inmate, has been hospitalized since March 18 and is listed in serious condition, state corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton said. Because of privacy laws, Thornton would not disclose the nature of Atkins' illness. Atkins' husband and attorney, James Whitehouse, was quoted as saying she has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, according to a blog called Manson Family Today. She also has had a leg amputated, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday, citing sources close to the case. The compassionate release request has been approved by the prison, which conducted an evaluation, and is under corrections department review, Thornton said. If the department approves, the Board of Parole Hearings and the sentencing court in Los Angeles also must sign off on the request. There is no timeline for a decision to be made, Thornton said. Atkins, known within the Manson family as "Sadie Mae Glutz," has been in prison since 1971 and has been denied parole 11 times. According to historical accounts of the murders, Atkins stabbed Tate, who was 8½ months pregnant, and scawled the word "pig" in blood on the door of the home the actress shared with director Roman Polanski. "I don't want to seem like a heartless creature, but in all my years, I never considered this could happen," Debra Tate, the actress' sister, told the Riverside Press-Enterprise. "She showed no compassion. She told my sister as she slit her throat that she didn't (care) for her or her unborn baby," Tate added. Sharon Tate and three houseguests were slain in August 1969 by killers who burst into her Benedict Canyon home. A teenager who was visiting the home's caretaker in his cottage on the property also was killed. The following night, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were slain in their home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The two-day crime spree sent shock waves throughout Los Angeles. All of the killers remain behind bars. Atkins also was convicted in the earlier murder of music teacher Gary Hinman. Atkins, like Manson, received a death sentence, and the punishment was changed to life in prison when the California Supreme Court ruled the state's death penalty unconsitutional in 1972. Vincent Bugliosi, who prosecuted Atkins, told the Los Angeles Times that she "has paid substantially, though not completely, for her horrendous crimes. Paying completely would mean imposing the death penalty." But, he told the paper, given her terminal illness, "I don't have an objection to her being released." According to her Web site, Atkins is a born-again Christian who during her incarceration has worked to aid at-risk youth, victims of violent crimes and homeless children. Last month, authorities dug for buried bodies at the Inyo County, California, ranch where Manson and his followers once lived, after police became aware that testing had indicated humans might be buried there. Nothing was found, police said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The compassionate liberal in me is saving it for her victims. This hippie brainwashing b.s. is as old as Noah and belongs in the funny pages. Correct me if I'm wrong but California locks up potheads for ten years over a nickel bag but they are actually considering this? What am I missing here? -
Yet any prank pulled in today's schools by kids will have the cops slapping on the handcuffs, for some b.s. "zero tolerance" infraction. What a bunch of damn hypocrites.
