A Piece of Cake
This is the heart-wrenching true story of a girl named Cupcake and it begins when, aged eleven, she is orphaned and placed in the 'care' of sadistic foster parents. But there comes a point in her preteen years - maybe it's the night she first tries to run away and is exposed to drugs, alcohol, and sex all at once - when Cupcake's story shifts from a tear-jerking tragedy to ...more

Before I started reading this book, I read several reviews of it. They varied--either people really like it or they didn't. I really liked it.
Of those who didn't they complained generally about one of two (or both) things:
1) The story was too unbelievable; therefore, it must be exaggerated or falsified in some way; and
2) The book is poorly written--has bad grammar and obvious transitions, for example--and probably should have been written by a ghost-writer.
I disagree with both of these points. A ...more

Update I'm three-quarters of the way through. I've done nothing but read today. I'm not at all happy with this book. It is ending too soon. It's that good. The author and Guinevere Turner, the scriptwriter of American Psycho are writing the film script. It's going to be a Hollywood movie. I have mixed feelings about this. It will end up being 90 mins of Hollywood glamour rather than the street-grit of documentary film-making the subject cries out for. Cupcake Brown is amazing in many ways, inclu ...more

A Piece of Cake is one of those books that won't fade into the background long after it's been shelved for me. The story is so incredible, at times I felt like I was reading another Frey memoir that was somewhat embellished. Cupcake Brown is thrown into the foster care system at 11 and survives abuse, the streets, gangs, and drugs/alchohol to a point that puts her behind a dumster for several days at one point. If you don't like rough language- this one will be tough. However, I think it's so im ...more

Shelves: bio-memoir
A Piece of Cake is a prime example of a story that is much better than the writing. This memoir is the life story of Cupcake Brown, a woman who has overcome abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, prostitution, domestic violence and gang life to become a successful attorney and thanks to this book, a best-selling author. Brown's journey is nothing short of amazing. In fact, some have questioned the validity of her claims (in light of James Frey and others) because of the extreme situations detailed i ...more

This is a great story, but even that can not make up for the horrible writing techniques. The author has had an amazing life and her story is truly amazing and leaves a feeling of hope for those who have friends or family involved in addiction. However, she tends to ramble and repeat her situations to the point that the story becomes boring and redundant. Also, you can tell she is attempting to write in the way that someone in that situation would actually speak, but at the same time, she never ...more

This is one of the best books I've ever picked up. I don't think I've ever read a better book on the subject of drug and alcohol addiction and recovery. I knew there was a reason why I got this book without knowing much about it. Knowing enough about addiction and recovery to know that this is an honest account only made it that much better for me.

This is a raw account of Cupcake Brown and her real life of drugs, sex and redemption and how yuou can turn it all around if you just believe in yourself. Not for the faint of heart or those who believe that life is all cupcakes and puppy dogs. I love the way she uncovered the raw truth of how the world, foster system and sometimes even your own flesh and blood can be real ugly. A definite favorite. Visit her website for more info, just Google her name.

Shelves: bookclubbooks
This book started out as a great read. I loved her stories of life in foster care and on the street. About halfway through the book it became redundant. Towards the end it picks up again and became more interesting. Part of the problem is her grammar. She tries to use street talk and then transform into more educated prose, but she doesn't do a very good job. The story of her amazing life is hidden behind poor writing.

Cupcake Brown (that's her real name) was 11 in 1976 when her mother died. Custody of Brown and her brother was given to a stranger—their birth father—who only wanted their social security checks. He then left them with an abusive foster mother who encouraged her nephew to rape Brown repeatedly. Brown got better and better at running away. A prostitute taught her to drink, smoke marijuana and charge for sex. Her next foster father traded her LSD and cocaine for oral sex. Eventually she went to li ...more

This book is good but very hard to read! It's about Cupcake Brown's life after she was thrown into the foster care system back when there was zero regard for the best interest regarding placements. Man, she has gone through so much shit and I'm only about a fourth through the book. I cannot read this book at night in bed because I was having dreams about it.

Hmmm, well, I really don't know how to describe Cupcake Brown's A Piece of Cake: A Memoir. It was underwhelming for me. I tend to go into a book with a lot of skepticism. It is, in my opinion, the author's responsibility to provide me with a literary experience so profound that I do not question his/her motive. Every writer has a motive. No one writes just to write - there is a mission and I think part of Brown's mission was to provide a story so unbelievable, so hurtful, so shocking that you'd ...more

Cupcake Brown's story is a powerful one and a very honest one. She talks candidly about her involvement with drugs, alcohol and prostitution. I think where the story fell short for me is her recording her drug use. It became almost monotonous (as drug use can be!) with highs, scores and lows. Withdrawals, scores, highs, it was all terribly cyclical and nearly drove me up the wall.

Not good. Not good. A Piece of Cake was my book club book for this month. When someone recommended it, it sounded interesting enough, the story of a girl's descent into drugs and prostitution. I read it over the weekend while house-sitting / puppy-sitting. Not good. Not good. It was 300 hundred pages of repetition of her doing drugs, telling herself she wasn't an addict, doing a few "business arrangements" when she needed the money.

I bought this book several times when I worked as a therapist at an adolescent group home.

Loving the book, they would then lend it to their friends and I would never see it again.

I'm only about 100 pages in, and I find myself doubting almost every word this woman is saying. After working in the education field and with kids in the "system," many of her stories are ridiculous. To start, the fact that her biological dad was able to step in after her mother died, after never having seen the kids ever before in their lives, when they were both under shared custody with their step-father, doesn't make any sense. At all. Second, the fact that EVERY SINGLE foster home was as ab ...more

I see a lot of people complaining about the writing of this book, and, ok, it takes some getting used to. The sentence structuring is weird, and in places there are cliches and over the top dramatic sentences, but, that's how people talk. I found the style to be confidential and chatty. I would be really easy for me, a white, middle class woman with a perfectly nice upbringing, to feel alienated by the world depicted in this book, but the inclusive tone kept me hooked.

First, I think this was a great story that needed to be told, but the way it was told made reading the book a frustrating experience rather than inspiring.

The story of Cupcake Brown is a true story that's emotionally uplifting and inspiring, which motivates the reader to reflect on their own lives. I remember that when I was reading this book for the first time, I was absolutely blown away by the honesty that Cupcake was writing with. When she said "This [prostitution:] ain't so bad," she wasn't afraid of the world knowing about her past, and I felt very emotional because she was only nine and was so innocent and pure.

In all fairness, this is how I feel about the book: She has a significant story, it just shouldn't be read. As you may see from my notes, reading this book became a chore for me. Cupcake overcame tremendous obstacles in her life, and for that alone, I'm glad I read it. It just wasn't written well. I would love to hear her tell her story at a speaking engagement.

The most inspiring biography I've ever encountered.

VIDEO: Notre Dame NG Louis Nix III scores as QB in spring game
Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III got the opportunity to play quarterback in the Fighting Irish's spring game on Saturday.
The 6-foot-3, 340-pound defensive lineman hustled into the game for a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter of the annual spring game. Nix made some checks at the line -- "silent checks," he said later -- then scanned the field before tucking the ball and powering forward into the end zone for a successful conversion.
"My intentions were just to truck somebody, to be honest," Nix told The Chicago Tribune after the spring game. "I just wanted to run somebody over."
Nix said he "saw fear" in the eyes of linebacker Kendall Moore, and added that Notre Dame opponents should worry about the nose guard's ability around the goal line this fall.
Louis Nix: "That's what all teams need to be scared of. All teams need to be scared of Irish Chocolate. Everyone. Including you." #NotreDame— Brian Hamilton (@ChiTribHamilton) April 20, 2013
Brian Kelly also referred to Nix as "Irish Chocolate" while mic'd up by NBC earlier in the spring game. We were first introduced to the nickname last summer when Nix introduced his Chocolate News YouTube series, a behind-the-scenes look at Notre Dame football through Nix's eyes.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The U.S. stock market crept higher Thursday following a mixed batch of corporate news. In Europe, investors brushed aside more worrying news on the economy and nudged markets up.
KEEPING SCORE: As of 2:10 p.m. Eastern time, the Standard & Poor's 500 index was up six points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,953. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 41 points, or 0.3 percent, to 16,697 while the Nasdaq composite climbed 12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,446.
GOING UP: A jump in profits for Perrigo, a drugmaker, drove its stock up 6 percent, the biggest gain in the S&P 500. Perrigo's earnings and sales came in ahead of analysts' estimates. The stock gained $8.54 to $147.69
CISCO SLIPS: After the market closed Wednesday, Cisco Systems reported falling quarterly sales and profits. The technology company also announced plans to lay off 6,000 workers, roughly 8 percent of its workforce. Cisco's stock dropped 64 cents, or 3 percent, to $24.57.
BERKSHIRE BUMP: The most expensive U.S. stock just got a little bit more pricey. The Class A shares of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate traded above $200,000 for the first time. Buffett has never split Berkshire's A shares, although he did create more affordable Class B shares that now sell for $134. The Class A shares rose $3,019, or 2 percent, to $202,628.
JOBS: The Labor Department said more people applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week. Applications climbed 21,000 to 311,000, and the less volatile four-week average rose, too. Still, applications for aid remain near levels last seen before recession gripped the country.
COMMENT: The S&P 500 is still hovering near record highs, and some analysts to fret that stocks look expensive. Lawrence Creatura, a fund manager at Federated Investors, argued that another strong earnings season should put investors' worries about high prices to rest.
The S&P 500, for instance, has gained nearly 6 percent this year. "That's an interesting number: 6 percent just happens to be the average earnings growth rate over the very long term," he said.
IN EUROPE: Both France's CAC 40 and Germany's DAX closed with gains of 0.3 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.4 percent.
EUROPE'S SLUMP: The advances in Europe came despite figures showing that the two major economies in the 18-country eurozone cast doubt over the recovery. Germany's economy shrank 0.2 percent from April to June, while the French economy stagnated.
ONE TAKE: "Investors appear to be betting that the continued raft of disappointing economic data could compel the European Central Bank to take further steps to help try and boost economic activity before the end of the year," said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets.
RETAIL: Kohl's, a department-store chain, turned in quarterly profits that were slightly better than analysts' expectations. Sales slipped but the company cut costs. Kohl's surged $1.68, or 3 percent, to $56.80.
BONDS AND OIL: In the market for US government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.41 percent. Earlier, it touched 2.38 percent, its lowest level this year. Benchmark crude oil was down $1.89 to $95.70 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
METALS: The price of gold edged up $1.20 to $1,315.70 an ounce. Silver rose six cents to $19.91 an ounce. Copper fell two cents to $3.09 a pound.

Hair Fun with Scrunchies! Great Gift Idea & Craft!
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 5-8+ years
In: Holidays , Arts & Crafts
Instructions:If you have some plain scrunchies, you can dress them up in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas to get you going. You might find that putting the scrunchie onto a can to stretch it and hold it in one position will help with the decorating.
Parental supervision is recommended.
This project is rated EASY to do.
What You Need
Glue gun or needle and thread (see directions)
CHOOSE from the following:
12" long ribbons
1-3 small fake seasonal flowers (or fall leaves)
2 wide ribbons
Fimo or Sculpey clay
Fabric paint
How To Make It
Select from the choices below and decorate your scrunchie!
Take some 12" long ribbons, fold them in half, tie a knot in the center, and string a few beads on each end, and tie that off. Sew to the scrunchie, adding a few beads or a special button to cover the knot.
Use hot glue to attach 1-3 small fake seasonal flowers (or fall leaves) in a cluster to the scrunchie. Be very careful with the hot glue gun!
Take a couple of wide ribbons, put one on top of the other, and make a bow. Sew the bow to the scrunchie, making sure to stitch through the center of the bow so that it will not untie.
Make a special button or bead with Fimo or Sculpey according to manufacturer's instructions. Then sew the button or bead to the scrunchie.
Use fabric paint to decorate the scrunchie with squiggles, dots, or small designs like pumpkins, ghosts, stars, etc.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 352 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by RovingReverend Great location, pool should be warmer Great place, discounted during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Valet parking. Right on the highway. Pool is too cold to get in. I swam on the North Shore of Boston's ocean which is about 60 degrees. I was told when I complained that it was a state law not to have it warmer. The Sheraton 20 miles west has a lovely, warm pool September 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by EthanBusinessGuy Rate-Switch Mid-Stay and Staff Responsiveness I have been a loyal customer of this hotel and of SPG brands. Hotel Management switch rates mid-stay and do not honor rate confirmations made upon reservation. Staff quality has gone dramatically down-hill and customer service is second to staff drama and attrition. Management operation of this hotel has gone from average to awful. September 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BBBB34 check in 2nd time this week I checked in here and both times waited for 5-10 minutes at the front desk. Surely there is more than one person available to man the front desk at 6:30P. September 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HawaiiGal Overnight Visit to Boston This was a perfect hotel to stay at when visiting Boston. It's close but without all the noise and high prices. I stayed here years ago and was hoping that I would be as happy this time. The hotel and customer service was great! September 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Goliemom Under construction This hotel's renovation was supposed to have been done before the end of August 2014...it wasn't. It was very inconvenient to get in and out of the hotel and get in to your car. the circle in front of the hotel was closed so people just didn't know where to go to meet people or drop someone off as the garage was quite a walk from the hotel. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYRes Boston move in day In Boston on Labor Day weekend to help with daughter's apartment move out-move in, not related to college. Westin Waltham made a dreary chore pleasant with delightful hospitality from front associate and director of rooms. It was great to just relax. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by richlee overall quality perfect place to stay if you have a child attending college in the area August 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ira8yeli ira8yeli I stayed in the room for one night. When I was checking in I wasn't explained that all local phone calls from the room are not free. I made six phone calls to the local area code numbers and got a bill in the morning. An hour of conversation cost me $163. This is crazy!!!! The receptionist must advise guests how high is the rate and give a paper to sign. August 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jordy Still not any closer... I've written several reviews about the Waltham Westin and while it is undergoing a massive renovation of it's common areas and perhaps parking garage, the staff still seem disconnected and still not able to recognize frequent / platinum members. I unfortunately left a less than ideal review last week when I stayed here and was greeted by a meat plate upon my arrival this week - a very nice and appreciated gesture, but I had already eaten and this plate had been sitting out for several hours prior to my arrival. I was definitely not about to touch it. I promptly called service to thank them but send it back. Service apologized and graciously offered to send me a fruit plate - I initially hesitated, but eventually relented and accepted the offer. The fruit plate never came. I didn't need it, but I wish it wasn't offered only to never be delivered! Unfortunately, par for the course here... August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JT101 Excellent service with expensive extras The staff, from the front desk to the doormen offer superior service, especially during the present construction program. The breakfast is extremely expensive and the Dunkin' Donuts across the street is a good alternative at less than half the price. Amazingly this hotel still charges a premium amount for wifi in its rooms. It should be an included in the already premium charge for a premium room. August 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MadAve Nothing to say The hotel is under renovation and I was there for dinner and sleep and nothing more. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mikie376 Great Experience at Waltham Westin! I was in town for 4 days, 3 nights for business. It had been a while since I'd last been to the Waltham Westin. Upon my arrival, I was upgraded to a lovely, recently renovated 2-room suite (eg I'm Starwood Platinum). My room was fantastic! Many of the common areas are undergoing renovation right now, the entry and restaurant, for example. Construction was not a hassle at all. I had a great experience at the Waltham Westin! I have to be in Boston again in October, and this is where I'm booking! August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Musiclover12 Very nice hotel for location I chose this hotel because I was attending a large group event at the hotel. The location is more suitable to business travelers because it is not that close to Boston. However, the room was excellent--very comfortable beds, spacious, nice bathroom and bath products, hairdryer, etc. Since we were busy with the event, we did not get a chance to try out the pool. We had a room near the end of the corridor so it was quiet. The hotel was undergoing a renovation but it did not really interfere with our stay. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Luciij Love the Westin Always a great night sleep when we stay at a Westin! August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JennTZ1 Charges for Everything We went to Waltham for a family Christening. I was the only one to stay at the Westin. They charged for parking. Only hotel in area not to have a breakfast buffet. Only has one restaurant that charges through the roof for very little food. Hotel is under construction when I walked into my room it smelt like a gas leak. They moved my room but sent no one up to check out the smell. Which alarmed me. We stayed at the Westin because the room price was better than the others but after all the additional charges they tacked on we ended up paying 50% more than if we went anywhere else. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pumpkin97 attractive hotel Good rooms, pleasant staff August 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SpencerB Employees not friendly nor welcoming Bellman everywhere but none offered to assist until you have everything out of the car and have struggled. Breakfast service was very similar waiter was rude had to wait over 1/2 hr for our food then arrived cold. No manager present to assist associates. August 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by tirb123 not so clean feeling during last stay I stay here 2-3 times a year. while the rooms look much better than they did in the past, they did not feel clean on my last visit. A- there was no bathrobe in the bathroom when I checked in, only an empty hanger with the "enjoy this bathrobe" sign. Bathrobe never provided during stay B- there was a wet towel hanging over the shower curtain when I checked in C-Bed sheets seemed moist/humid at check in August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WineDiva Room Service Food Ham & Cheese sandwich came with absolutely NO condiments, even though it was advertised in menu. I was too hungry and tired to call front desk, so I ate my sandwich DRY......NOT enjoyable at all! August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smith22 Greast Staff The hotel staff was especially sensitive my family as my daughter was relocating to the Boston area. The staff even sent us a card wishing our daughter well on her new move. August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by CBtravel Needs improvement Room and facilities were nice and despite construction. Customer service and staff training needs improvement. Had troubles checking in - checked myself and my roommate (arriving separately) into 2 different rooms and had to deal with that, and then room didn't cleaned until cleaning person was going into room at 5pm - discussed need to use room from 5-6pm and asked if she could clean after 6pm and was told no. No-one at front desk answered so had to go back downstairs to get assistance, and then had to wait some time for that to get resolved. Internet was included in room rate, but got billed anyway and had to resolve that as well. Still concerned to see if final bill is correct or not! August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scottybrew Visit I am at the Westin almost every week. This one was quite disappointing. First dinner Tuesday was just ok and the service was not great. Then I got up Wednesday morning to zero hot water, Not sure what is going on but it seems like service is getting worse with each visit lately. Also please change up the menu both for room service and restaurant Scott August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chad944 No Hot Water I didnt have any hot water the last morning of my stay. I notified the front desk and they stated that they would give me 2000 SPG points for my inconvienence. Can you please make sure this happens. In the past I've been told similar things and nothing has ever been followed through. August 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JuJube2 Under Construction Even though the lobby was under construction, entering from the side door was not an inconvenience at all. The pool was surprisingly small and the café that is in the lobby is not open all day and there are no vending machines for snacks for kids. The last day was raining so hard and the bellman had no unbrellas, Needless to say he was drenched and so were we trying to put our luggage in the car. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Clemmie Westin Waltham The construction was a huge disappointment and annoyance so I would recommend this hotel ONLY after construction is finished. The rooms were very nice, bed was comfortable but phone didn't work. Staff was courteous, helpful and fair. The food was very good but a little pricey. July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by FB12 Maybe better after construction Lots of construction inside and outside. The hallways to the swimming pool had mold where the baseboards go and the pool had an 'off' odour so we would not let the kids go swimming. The rooms were small but nice, and watch out for the snack trays as they automatically charge you if a snack is lifted by accident and put back. There is also a large snack bar under the cabinet where a fridge should go. No fridge or microwave provided without additional charges. WiFi was also an extra $9.99 a day which these days is normally included. The lobby only had a complimentary juice and snack on Saturday night and not during the week. For a hotel under construction they did not give anything extra as compensation. July 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Annoyed1001 Nickel and Dime My husband had a great quote - "you can stay here, you just can't drive here". Paying for parking in a suburban hotel is ridiculous. Also, the mini bar that charges you after 5 seconds is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. This does not encourage families to come to the hotel. July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NewCanaanHector Work in Progress The hotel is under construction but fully operational. Renovation was good, but it clearly did not include the mattresses nor the rest of the bedding. A small hiccup with our in-room early Saturday breakfast was quickly, efficiently and effectively handled by the Service Express Manager. Overall, great people, but some items need attention. July 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KC12345 This hotel is great for business meetings and conferences! This is one of my two preferred hotels in Waltham, MA. I have been staying here almost every other week since May of this year. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet it offered. The food was always presented nicely and always clean and fresh! However, with the ongoing renovation project, there's no more buffet. Hopefully, upon the completion of the renovation project, the hotel will bring back the greatly missed breakfast buffet! Thank you! July 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fresca This hotel has great staff but also has flies Rita at the Front desk was terrific. There was not enough staff at the desk when I checked in and she had to answer the phone and check me in but she handled the disruptions (at least 5 ) very professionally and was a terrific example of customer satisfaction. On the other hand our meeting rooms and the lobby were infested with Fruit Flies - nasty! July 25, 2014

Predicable Plummeting Oil Prices
by Michael Suede •
Oil prices will continue to decline.
The vast decline in oil prices is due to insiders getting out of oil before free energy hits the mainstream.
Blacklight Power is months, or perhaps just weeks, away from announcing a megawatt capable generator that runs on nothing but water.
Keep watching the oil prices drop like a stone.
I predicted this, just like I predicted bitcoin would go to the moon when it was still in the single digits.

My wife and I arrived in San Pedro Sula via Tica Bus from Leon, Nicaragua. I was sick with a bad fever, and was grateful to see the owner waiting to pick us up. He actually made two trips, because we got delayed before leaving the bus station. He then brought us to the Hostel/B&B, and directed me to a nearby medical clinic in walking distance. He even came to check on my status, before offering to escort us back. Stay at this hostel - good value, location, and trustworthy owner.

Ihr Mann hat mich halb 6 in der Früh für 15 $ zum Flughafen gefahren im japanischen Transporter (Lenkrad rechts haha). Dorm war ein 2-Bett-Zimmer mit super Badezimmer! Konnte die Küche mitbenutzen, in der Früh gabs kostenlosen Kaffee. Kann man definitiv auch länger bleiben! :)

San Pedro Sula felt very unsafe but this hostel is a great place to overnight. It has a security gate and only someone on the inside can open it. The hostel is located in the safe area of town by the mall, supermarket and fast food restaruants so if you want to leave you can without worrying about wandering into an unsafe area. The hostel was very clean and had A/C, which even in the winter is needed in SPS. The owners are nice and honest.

Great place for an overnight stay. We only booked a few hours before we arrived but we were greeted by Luis at the bus station for our transfer to the hostel. The hostel is super safe and we were able to walk the couple of blocks down to the mall to get food (we felt safe doing this even after dark). Dorm was really nice and additional extras (e.g. soap and towels) were a nice touch. Only complaint was the fan wasn't good enough to cover both beds so it would have been nice to have another one.

Tomlinson ready for stretch run
By James Walker
New York Jets
(6-5) running back
LaDainian Tomlinson
(knee) returned to practice Thursday. He missed the previous two weeks with a knee injury, but expects to play Sunday in a must-win game against the
Washington Redskins
"It felt good running around and cutting," Tomlinson told reporters. "I really pushed myself to see where I really was, and I was happy with the way I responded. It wasn't too sore, it didn't swell up at all, so that let me know that I'm ready to go."
Tomlinson says he feels fresh for the stretch run, which is good news for the Jets. Starting running back
Shonn Greene
has been banged up, and the team is still learning to trust inexperienced backup
Joe McKnight
A healthy Tomlinson will be a much-needed addition to New York's backfield. He only has 46 carries this season, which is a career-low.
"That was pretty much the gameplan for the year, to keep me fresh and down the stretch possibly increase my workload," Tomlinson said. "So I am fresh and feeling good, so the coaches have that option, if they want to use me more."
The Jets have little margin for error. They are behind teams such as the
Cincinnati Bengals
(7-4) and
Denver Broncos
(6-5) for the final wild-card spot in the AFC.

However, it is important to note that only 31 miles of that range is electric, while 553 miles of it is gasoline. For eco-conscious drivers preferring an electric vehicle, this might not compete with Tesla's vehicles. Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA - Get Report)'s Model S sedan has a 250 to 300 mile range on electric power only. A key part of the argument putting the 2017 A3 e-Tron as a competitor for Tesla's cars is going to be the technology behind how the vehicle manages 553 miles on gasoline. Miles per gallon will be important here.

The City of Cherokee owns and maintains Oak Hill Cemetery.
Located west of the City along County Highway #38 (West Main Street), the cemetery is a 32-acre tract that is available to all citizens of Cherokee and surrounding areas. More than 8,000 gravesites are located at the cemetery. The unused portion of the cemetery should serve the families of Cherokee for the next 40 to 50 years.
The City has one full-time and three seasonal employees who maintain the grounds, prepare burial sites and coordinate with the local mortuaries. Cemetery records, however, are maintained by the City Clerk's office at City Hall, 416 W. Main St. Access to these records is limited to normal business hours Monday through Friday.
Frequently, visitors to the cemetery arrive on weekends or during evening hours when access to the cemetery directory is not available. Accordingly, the City welcomed a proposal from the Pilot Rock Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) to sponsor a project to construct a permanent directory and map of those buried at the cemetery. A directory at the entry to the cemetery will dramatically improve access to records and information of past family and friends buried at Oak Hill.
When approached about the Directory in 2008, the City committed to preparing the building site and pouring the 26'X26' concrete slab, on which the building will be attached. Donations and grants are being sought to pay for the project.
The building will consist of an open-sided 24'X24' structure, within which will be a directory map and large panels listing the names and locations of all those buried at the cemetery. It is hoped that the fund drive will be successfully completed yet this Spring or Summer, allowing the structure and directory to be built in 2012.
