Simpson's (My Hollywood) sixth novel portrays a Santa Monica, Calif., family through the eyes of the only son, Miles Adler-Hart, a habitual eavesdropper who watches his mother, Irene, with great intensity. From an early age, Miles senses the vulnerability of his mother, a recently divorced mathematician, and throughout his childhood and adolescence feels the need to look out for her. When Irene falls in love with Eli Lee, Miles is highly suspicious. He enlists his best friend, Hector, to help him look deep into Eli's background, going so far as to work with a private investigator. Simpson elevates this world of tree houses and walkie-talkies not only through Miles's intelligence—"'Hope for happiness is happiness,'" he tells Hector—but through the startling revelations he uncovers. Simpson tastefully crafts her story in a world of privilege, with private school, show business jobs, and housekeepers all present, but never prevalent details. More remarkable is Simpson's knowledge of her characters, which is articulated through subtle detail: we are not surprised by the flea market blackboard in the kitchen, nor by the preachy quotation Irene chooses to write on it. Ultimately, this is a story about a son's love for his mother, and Simpson's portrayal of utter loyalty is infectious. Agent: Amanda Urban, ICM. (Apr.)

From the acclaimed and award-winning author of Anywhere But Here and My Hollywood, a powerful new novel about a young boy's quest to uncover the mysteries of his unraveling family. What he discovers turns out to be what he least wants to know: the inner workings of his parents' lives. And even then he can't stop searching.
Miles Adler-Hart starts eavesdropping to find out what his mother is planning for his life. When he learns instead that his parents are separating, his investigation deepens, and he enlists his best friend, Hector, to help. Both boys are in thrall to Miles's unsuspecting mother, Irene, who is "pretty for a mathematician." They rifle through her dresser drawers, bug her telephone lines, and strip-mine her computer, only to find that all clues lead them to her bedroom, and put them on the trail of a mysterious stranger from Washington, D.C.
Their amateur detective work starts innocently but quickly takes them to the far reaches of adult privacy as they acquire knowledge that will affect the family's well-being, prosperity, and sanity. Burdened with this powerful information, the boys struggle to deal with the existence of evil and concoct modes of revenge on their villains that are both hilarious and naïve. Eventually, haltingly, they learn to offer animal comfort to those harmed and to create an imaginative path to their own salvation.
Casebook brilliantly reveals an American family both coming apart at the seams and, simultaneously, miraculously reconstituting itself to sustain its members through their ultimate trial. Mona Simpson, once again, demonstrates her stunning mastery, giving us a boy hero for our times whose story remains with us long after the novel is over.

"Casebook displays Simpson's signature impressionism. Think Seurat's pointillist dots rather than Van Gogh's lavish strokes. Miles's world is made of tiny scenes, images, anecdotes—collage-like but easy to follow. Fans of Simpson's My Hollywood will appreciate the thematic kinship, comedy, aphoristic observations and the unflinching look at the effects of divorce. Casebook tackles heavy themes, but with a touch lighter than her early novels—easier to digest, charming, sure-footed and as engaging as ever."—Josh Cook, Star/Tribune
"Simpson's story unfolds with magnetic force. . . . She handles the passage of Miles's crucial years through and beyond high school, including awkward relationships with two girls, with finesse. From beginning to end, it's clear that in everything he does, Miles loves his mother. His indisputable, powerful, and consistent filial love gives 'Casebook' enormous emotional power and makes the surprise ending a heart-breaker."Jane Ciabattari, The Boston Globe
"Adult relationships are the true mystery here. Simpson manipulates the tropes of suspense fiction astutely, and the touches of noir are delicate. "The New Yorker
"Captivating . . . Simpson's aim is to lyrically capture the time between childhood and adulthood, as fleeting and delicate as the golden-hour light that filmmakers chase."—Lisa Zeidner, The Washington Post
"Just as in Anywhere But Here, Simpson's central, complicated relationship of parent and child is both a motif and a window into bared hearts . . . She has a gift for re-creating the unique psychological landscape of the adolescent . . . Miles is an extraordinary character—exceptionally intuitive, observant, feeling."—Susannah Luthi, Los Angeles Review of Books
"What's most remarkable is how Simpson effortlessly snares readers inside a full, intimate world. . . . And for a few delicious days allows readers to relish the innocence of childhood and the intense yearning to discover the secrets of life."—Christine Thomas, The Miami Herald
"Miles Adler-Hart is a teen with a mission: He's trying to understand his mom. Not because she's a big-deal mathematician but because by understanding her, he might fathom love, sex, and how his parents' marriage fell apart. . . . Simpson's beautifully crafted novel shows us a reconfigured California family through the eyes of a smart, funny adolescent longing to keep hope alive."
—Anne Leslie, People Magazine
"A wonderfully dramatic vantage point for us readers, a fresh way to explore the ways families fall apart and come together. . . . Casebook surprises us with its discoveries and offers up a reminder that despite troubles and disappointments, confusion and heartbreak, life can be sweet."—Natalie Serber, The Oregonian
"Simpson is . . . adept at capturing the world of moneyed life in a California beach town once there is less of it and the uncertainty of children navigating the new rules of divorce. . . . Happiness, and its elusiveness is a running theme throughout the novel. Miles tries to define it, as if by pinning it down, he might be able to secure more of for his mom."—Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor
"The heart of the book is simply the story of an emotional coming-of-age. Simpson's novel is at its strongest in the quiet, unadorned gray areas where Miles's childhood neuroses and tender loving impulses for his family mingle painfully with his desire to face up to the truth. . . . It's the poignancy of a child coming to terms with the irreversible losses and ill-judged compromises of adult life that gives emotional weight to the narrative."—Claire Fallon, The Huffington Post
"Casebook is both a detective story and a coming-of-age novel—a hybrid of Harriet the Spy and Chandler's Phillip Marlow books."—Darcy Steinke, The Los Angeles Times
"If Casebook were a box of cereal, there would be dozens of raisins in every spoonful. Yes, the novel itself has a satisfying arc, but I love it most for the small rewards and humorous touches that Simpson doles out on nearly every page."—Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Any person who grew up in a family being slowly torn apart by their parents' crumbling marriage will instantly relate to Miles Adler-Rich's attempt to understand why things are falling apart. Casebook will even find a way to sink its hooks into readers who haven't had to experience that."—Jason Diamond, Flavorwire
Advance Praise for Mona Simpson's CASEBOOK
"Ensnaring, witty, and perceptive . . . This exceptionally incisive, fine–tuned and charming novel unfolds gracefully as [Simpson] brings fresh understanding and keen humor to the complexities intrinsic to each stage of life and love."––Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review)
"This is a story about a son's love for his mother, and Simpson's portrayal of utter loyalty is infectious."––Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The setup is ingenious . . . A child of divorce turns private-eye in the latest well-observed study of domestic dysfunction from Simpson . . . a top-shelf novelist . . . The new book is framed as a detective story about discovering the deceptions that can swirl around relationships."—Kirkus Reviews
"In this sensitively rendered bildungsroman, Simpson recalls authentic, detailed memories of childhood . . . [A] clever, insightful, and at times hilarious story about family, friendship, and love in all its complex iterations."––Library Journal
Having won honors ranging from a Whiting Writer's Award to an Academy Award from the American Academy of Arts, the beloved Simpson shows up with a young protagonist named Miles Adler-Rich, who's compelled by the recent separation of his parents to spy on them with the help of friend Hector. The boys are particularly intrigued by Miles's mother ("pretty for a mathematician"), rifling through her diary and dresser drawers and finding evidence that puts them on the trail of a mysterious stranger. The scary secrets they learn give the boys their first real lesson in good and evil.
A child of divorce turns private eye in the latest well-observed study of domestic dysfunction from Simpson (My Hollywood, 2010, etc.). In some ways, Simpson's sixth novel marks a return to her first, Anywhere But Here (1986), which also features a teenage narrator struggling to comprehend a parental split. But the new book is more high concept, framed as a detective story about discovering the deceptions that can swirl around relationships. The narrator, Miles, is a bright LA high schooler who's prone to precocious antics like a money-making scheme selling lunches out of his locker. He's also picked up a more questionable eavesdropping habit, listening in on his mathematician mother's phone conversations after her marriage collapses and she pursues a new relationship with Eli, whose intentions and background strike Miles as questionable. With his friend Hector, he processes his confusion both artistically (via a comic book they create together) and pragmatically, befriending a PI who helps them get to the bottom of Eli's background. The setup is ingenious on a couple of fronts. First, making the tale a mystery adds a dose of drama to what's otherwise a stock plot about upper-middle-class divorce. Second, Miles' snapping to the role of secret eavesdropper and researcher underscores how alienated he is from his mother's confusion and heartbreak. Simpson presents Miles' tale as slightly comic; this is a story of teenage misadventures, after all. But as the truth about Eli emerges and Miles gets wise to reality, she shifts into a more serious register. "Everyone had secrets, I understood, now that I did," Miles explains. "With that one revelation, the world multiplied." Simpson's attempts to add a metafictional touch via Hector's footnote comments feel half-finished, but overall her command of the story is rock-solid. A clever twist on a shopworn theme by a top-shelf novelist.

Read an Excerpt
1 • Under the Bed
I was a snoop, but a peculiar kind. I only discovered what I most didn't want to know.
The first time it happened, I was nine. I'd snaked underneath my parents' bed when the room was empty to rig up a walkie-talkie. Then they strolled in and flopped down. So I was stuck. Under their bed. Until they got up.
I'd wanted to eavesdrop on her, not them. She decided my life. Just then, the moms were debating weeknight television. I needed, I believed I absolutely needed to understand Survivor. You had to, to talk to people at school. The moms yakked about it for hours in serious voices. The only thing I liked that my mother approved of that year was chess. And every other kid, every single other kid in fourth grade, owned a Game Boy. I thought maybe Charlie's mom could talk sense to her. She listened to Charlie's mom.
On top of the bed, my dad was saying that he didn't think of her that way anymore either. What way? And why either? I could hardly breathe. The box spring made a gauzy opening to gray dust towers, in globular, fantastic formations. The sound of dribbling somewhere came in through open windows. My dad stood and locked the door from inside, shoving a chair up under the knob. Before, when he did that, I'd always been on the other side. Where I belonged. And it hurt not to move.
"Down," my mother said. "Left." Which meant he was rubbing her back.
All my life, I'd been aware of him wanting something from her. And of her going sideways in his spotlight, a deer at the sight of a human. The three of us, the originals, were together locked in a room.
My mom was nice enough looking, for a smart woman. "Pretty for a mathematician," I'd heard her once say about herself, with an air of apology. Small, with glasses, she was the kind of person you didn't notice. I'd seen pictures, though, of her holding me as a baby. Then, her hair fell over her cheek and she'd been pretty. My dad was always handsome. Simon's mom, a jealous type, said that my mother had the best husband, the best job, the best everything. I thought she had the best everything, too. We did. But Simon's mom never said my mother had the best son.
The bed went quiet and it seemed then that both my parents were falling asleep. My dad napped weekends.
NOOO, I begged telepathically, my left leg pinned and needled.
Plus I really had to pee.
But my mother, never one to let something go when she could pick it apart, asked if he was attracted to other people. He said he hadn't ever been, but lately, for the first time, he felt aware of opportunities. He used that word.
"Like who?"
I bit the inside of my cheek. I knew my dad: he was about to blab and I couldn't stop him. And sure enough, idiotically, he named a name. By second grade everyone I knew had understood never to name a name.
"Holland Emerson," he said. What kind of name was that? Was she Dutch?
"Oh," the Mims said. "You've always kind of liked her."
"I guess so," he said, as if he hadn't thought of it until she told him.
Then the mattress dipped, like a whale, to squash me, and I scooched over to the other side as the undulation rolled.
"I didn't do anything, Reen!"
She got up. Then I heard him follow her out of the room.
"I'm not going to do anything! You know me!"
But he'd started it. He'd said opportunities. He'd named a name. I bellied out, skidded to the bathroom, missing the toilet by a blurt. A framed picture of them taken after he'd proposed hung on the wall; her holding the four-inch diamond ring from the party-supply shop. On the silvery photograph, he'd written I promise to always make you unhappy.
I'd grown up with his jokes.
By the time I sluffed to the kitchen he sat eating a bowl of Special K. He lifted the box. "Want some?"
"Don't fill up." She stood next to the wall phone. "We're having the Audreys for dinner."
"Tonight?" he said. "Can we cancel? I think I'm coming down with something."
"We canceled them twice already."
The doorbell rang. It was the dork guy who came to run whenever she called him. He worked for the National Science Foundation and liked to run and talk about pattern formation.

The story follows Miles from a young boy to a young man. It involves his relationship with his best friend and his family, but especially his Mother. It shows how deep his love is for her, how caring and protective he becomes. It is funny, sad and very moving. I highly recommend.
I wish i could have given a rating of 2 1/2 stars. It wasn't a bad book , but it wasn't a good book. It took many, many pages before I really became interested in this novel, but because it was written by Mona Simpson, I stuck with it. In Casebook, Simpson details the life and observations of Miles, a twelve year old boy who is deeply invested in his mother's romantic life. . The story is told from his viewpoint and Simpson adeptly handles Miles progress and story telling abilities as he matures to a young man. There are a lot of characters to keep track off, some with nicknames that makes identifying them confusing. Often, a character is introduced but disappears for many pages, only to suddenly reappear without any connection to the story. Transitions from situation to situation are often abrupt and without logical progression; I had to reread or go back several pages to understand how the story and characters got to a certain point. Miles' mother was a completely unsympathetic character; a self-pitying, stubborn woman whose tunnel vision put her own romantic needs and desires ahead of her children. Her neglect and lack of concern for her young family was beyond my comprehension. Casebook was disappointing, and at times depressing, but Simpson's story telling prowess did show up often enough to make me hang in there. I am hesitant to recommend Casebook. but if you have the patience, you might want to give it a try........but borrow from the library! (If you want a wonderful book, get Simpson's first book, Anywhere But here. It is brilliant.)
As Mona Simpson's newest novel, Casebook opens, Miles is twelve years old when his parents separate. His mom, Irene (whom he calls the Mims) is a mathematician, not an occupation you find frequently in novels. His father Evan is a lawyer in the entertainment industry and they live in Los Angeles. He has younger twin sisters whom he calls Boop One and Boop Two. His best friend Hector's parents aren't together either. Hector has a bit of a crush on the Mims, and he is more than willing to help Miles figure out why Mims and Evans are separated and whether they are headed towards divorce. Miles has heard rumblings that Mims cheated on his dad, and to find out the truth he rigs up a phone extension so that he can listen to his mother's phone conversations. Mims soon begins dating Eli, who works for the National Service Foundation in Washington. Eli seems like a good guy, but he is in the midst of a divorce from his wife and he misses his young son. His mother recently died, and he has a brother who has mental health issues. Eli promises Mims that he will move out to Los Angeles and they will be a family, she just has to give him time. And more time. And more time. And then he has to take care of his dying cat, who seems to hang on forever. Miles and Hector become suspicious of Eli, so they seek out a private investigator, whose jobs usually consist of background checks on reality show contestants (Big Brother, The Bachelor), but there is something about these boys that gets to him, and he agrees to help them without pay. Casebook puts me in mind of Caroline Leavitt's recent novel Is This Tomorrow?. They both tell the story of a lonely young boy, who loves his mom very much, and takes on her problems. They both tell the story from the boy as an adult looking back on his life. And they both feature strong characterizations and beautiful writing. It took me awhile to get into Casebook, but about halfway in, I fell in love. Miles and Hector are such real, wonderful boys, trying to make sense of an adult world. Mims got to me too; she so wants this relationship with Eli to be the real deal. Simpson creates believable characters that you feel you know. Her description of Sare, one of Mims's friends is a good example."She was way cooler than my parents. Sare was a very smart person who never tried anything too hard for her. She had that confidence and that boredom." My only criticism of the book is that there are many characters, and at first it is difficult to keep track of who belonged to whom. And the fact that Miles had nicknames for his mom and sisters confused me when other characters called them by their given names. Miles and Hector write a comic book based partly on Eli, and I'm glad we get to see the results of their work. Hector also has footnotes in the book, giving his point of view on things that Miles has written about him, which adds a unique perspective. The ending is poignant, much like Is This Tomorrow?, and if you liked that novel, you will love Casebook, as I did. It's a beautiful coming-of-age story, sure to touch your heart.

Mostly tent sites; about 5 RV sites. Sort of level. Very small but only game in town. No WiFi, no TV. Bathhouse reasonably clean. TP so thin it tears very easily. We were there for a wedding, otherwise we would have left. Oh yeah, no receipt for payment, either. All very casual. Owner makes rounds in his car -- too fat to walk -- takes about 10 minutes. - MovableBookLady

We have experienced NY state parks that are well set up and well run. This is not one of them. The sites are strewn all over a hill side with cross roads that are steep and barely wide enough for a vehicle. Each site is identified with a number, but there is no indication at each "road" what sites are along that "road." Once the office closes around 6:00 pm, according to the signs posted, there is no one on site overnight. Of course, there are no hookups whatsoever. The place was OK for two mid-week overnights of dry-camping while exploring the area, but there's not much to recommend the place. The trash barrel at my site was packed full for two nights. The $5 surcharge for non-residents plus the $2.50 "transaction fee" (for showing up?) is the frosting on a lousy cake. I don't think I'd stay there again. - Jay Rutherford

The campground is only five miles north of Hyde Park, where the FDR and Vanderbilt National Historic Site is located on beautiful route 9. So we stayed two nights without hookups near the Hudson River. The sites are not level but you can find some that will take RVs under 30 feet. There are bathrooms with showers but we arrived on Memorial Day and they were dirty and stayed that way for our two day stay. The host site was not filled and I think maybe the hosts are responsible for the cleaning? Nice hiking trails high up along the Hudson River going to the Marina and north of the park. Cottages are available for rent. This is a big complex of over 1,000 acres. In the park there are picnic areas, trails, bridle paths, fishing, two 9 hole golf courses, cross country skiing, sledding hills, snowmobiling and the Mills Mansion. - gsnakehill

Spent the week and explored the area. There was more to do than we could do in a week, so we will be back soon. This was a great campground to vacation at. It was a pleasant relief from the heat of Florida and the grand kids love the fishing and pool. I still can't beat them at Mini Golf, but it was FREE. Also Sunday Breakfast and the Saturday Night Move were FREE. Plenty to do in camp and plenty of nice restaurants in the area to choose from. The area was very organic in nature and filled with lots of artists. An interesting place to visit! - Phyllis l

This is a very nice place to spend a week or two, they have a special discount rate of $225.00 for a week stay that is less expensive than any other place we looked at in the region. They had a large selection of sites to choose from and things to do like mini golf and a great pool. It was located near the mountain trails we like to hike and bike. Can not say enough about the owner who did his most to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We highly recommend this campground! - Dealing Dennis

First, the staff are top notch; very friendly and very accommodating.
We were assigned to a wooded area but had difficulty maneuvering our rig. So we asked to be moved to the field.
We were here on Labor Day weekend so we did expect it to be crowded.
Still it was very quiet And the quiet time was quiet!
We would return this campground. - leen

This "resort" would best be described as a traditional trailer park. Many "seasonals" are present. We spoke to one very nice lady who has lived there for 12 years. Our campsite was level and FHU under the spreading pine trees. Our site was way in the back, so it was either drive to the front or hike. The on-site cafe was very nice. Food was good. - moderate camper

Nice Park for family's with kids. Was just my wife and I. We stopped in for two nights. At check-in they gave wristbands to put on, told us if we lost them it would be a $20. charge. If we got caught without them on they could throw us out. Not having fun yet. Dinner plans with some local friends. Not putting it on. Maybe a clip on badge would work better. The site was muddy with a street drain in the middle of it but level.
Great place for large family's. Not for couples. - Road Manager

Sad to say that after camping in our RV for many years at Jellystone in Gardiner New York, this past Memorial Day 2016 weekend was my family's last.
This used to be a nice friendly family owned campground until it was sold to Michigan based Northgate Resorts making it a corporate owned campground. Under corporate ownership the rates have risen higher than any other campground in New York State. You are nickel & dimed to death for every little thing.
As with all campgrounds, there are rules to follow which I believe makes for better and safer camping. This campground has a list of rules that are given upon check-in. I was told that if we break any of the rules such as not wearing issued wristbands or move the fire ring, my credit card will be charged $25 for each offense. If you have a young child that happens to lose a wristband they also charge $25 for a replacement. I've been camping for 35 years and this is the first campground where I had to wear a plastic wristband and if I'm found not wearing it, I will be charged $25.
When we were here on Memorial Day weekend, the 10-month old water park was closed the entire time for repairs. When I called the campground office a few days ahead of our arrival I was told the water park would definitely be open for the holiday weekend. When we went to the Tiki Bar for ice cream we were told they didn't have any yet. How can you not have ice cream for a major holiday weekend?
The current top management has very poor customer service skills. When you ask a staff member a question, they cannot answer simple questions about the campground. They need to be trained in customer service skills and campground policy. With the new management in this campground the customer is always WRONG and it is now the campground of NO.
So if you like speeding golf carts, high prices and where the customers are not treated well by the staff, then this is the place for you. - Eagle75

This is a very nice campground. It is built on several levels. Staff was very kind and very helpful with all questions. Our site was easy to back into and was shaded: which was nice since we travel with dogs. Very pet friendly campground. Pool area was very nice and clean. They also have a snack bar area, but we didn't use that.
One major down side is that Verizon has no cell service is this area. (Not the campground fault but just a FYI.) Only place to make calls on our cells was by the store. The campground WI-FI was ok during the day and much better (faster) in the evening. Another thing is that the mosquitoes were vicious: even with a campfire and bug spray it was difficult to sit out side at night. That is why the seasonal sites have enclosed nets on their patios. Again no fault of the campground. Our rate was with our Good Sam discount. We would stay here again. - joinpa

We stayed here with another couple 4th of July weekend 2016. Our sites were very nice and shaded but were bordering a swampy area and the mosquitoes were vicious! We ended up with welts on our legs even though we had a campfire going and bug spray on! They had an Elvis impersonator for entertainment, which was hilarious! (Mostly because of the swooning of the women in the audience and his interaction with them.) The staff is very nice and the pool is very clean, although we didn't make use of it.
They have a small "catch and release" pond for fishing, but the adjacent lake is not navigable because of the vegetation. If you are planning to kayak here, forget it!
The campground overall is very nice, but a bit pricey. If you consider this place, request an area away from the wetlands. - grumpah

This campground was hard to get into and out of. The roads are very narrow and crooked. Once in the campground the roads in the campground are one-way and very narrow. The campground is in the middle of a heavily wooded area so satellite is impossible and the cable is not good. We were in a 43 foot motorhome with a tow vehicle that thankfully we had unhooked before heading to our site as we could not have gotten into our site with it connected. The site was very narrow with trees on both sides and barely enough room for our slides to be extended. If in the area again we will travel the extra miles into PA to a more big rig friendly campground. - John & Bobbie

Since I like Satellite TV and don't really like being in the trees, I opt for one of the 3 back in overflow sites across from the office. I have found the sites down below to be tight and not worth the trouble to get in and out. The overflow sites are fairly level and are usually easy in and out. Perfect for one night. The night we were here, they were having a wine tasting which was nice. Tons of stuff for children. - peddy dick

We had a Deluxe 50 Amp site for our 30 Amp camper. We had power issues: the breaker at our site was bad. It was hot, (89 deg F +), and we ran our A/C. A breaker in my RV tripped because of the low voltage and high amperage provided by the service box. They came out the next morning and replaced the breaker. It worked fine the rest of the stay. I thought it still may have been a problem with the camper, but we had no issues with the other two campgrounds we visited on the Eastern Seaboard that week.
We paid for a premium site, and expected everything to work, but there was no cable TV, and they would not give us a credit for not being able to provide cable. (sad face).
There was a LOT of poison ivy all over and the dogs transferred it to us.
We have been coming here for years, but will no longer even think of it. It's too expensive for what you get. We had to pay for services that we didn't get, and the grounds have steadily declined.
Wineries are nearby, but if you want something to do at the campground as an adult, go somewhere else.
Also: had to pay for pets, and a "resort fee"??? What is a Resort Fee?
Charged us for a Pull Through, when we had a Back-In. They refused to adjust that too!!! Never again... - Bob Mac

This is a very nice park with a camping feel. Lots of trees, spacious sites, green. Nice pull through, good hook up, etc. small dog park, but it's better than most parks. Nice disc golf area for walking the dog. Pool closed for the season. Husband showered and said it took a while for the water to heat. We only stayed one night but liked it. Wifi worked, which is unusual after spending four months on the road. - HayNan

About 3 miles from the Thruway but easy to find. Roomy, hard packed surface, level sites under large trees. No satellite reception but 65 channels of high quality cable reception but no PBS. The best WiFi access I have ever had in a campground. I travel with a mobile hot spot because of poor campground WiFi, but I did not have to use it here. When a camper had a serious problem with the RV the staff was very helpful with repairs and got him on his way. This campground is a good base camp to tour the mid Hudson River valley. - Travlin Tarheel

Poor outside lighting. Shower curtains too narrow and too short. Lots of roots make walking about the site difficult. Pool not supervised. - LSM55

Heavily wooded park, grounds are very clean. Office staff was very nice and office did include a small store with the usuals. Laundry was small but clean and well kept. Wifi at our site was non existent but we were able to use Verizon hotspot. We had a nice pull thru with FHU including cable. Unfortunately the site number was posted on a tree past our site so what should have been a pull thru ended up being a back-in for our 40' coach with tow. Just one of those days.
My only real problem is the entrance to the campground. We saw no signage indicating where to stop near the office and it is very tight. So no matter what, you end up blocking traffic. Lots of seasonals here, but everyone was very friendly except the guy we blocked! - Lucky Lady from Florida

This was a great experience. The campground was quiet and clean. There is a nice stream that runs through the campground. People were friendly, the sites were flat, large and tree covered. There were lots of things for the kids to do on the campground. - rcsauce

Stayed here for a week while visiting relatives in the area. Has a great pool for the grandkids. A couple of things; first, visitors are charged $10 per adult. This was an issue because family could not visit us without paying $20 per day. Also, they charge for use of the showers. I think this is the first campground we have been to with this visitor policy and with pay showers. The space was very spacious, we not very close to any other campers. The park is very large and easy to get lost in. I think if we make this trip again, we may stay at another park. - LDJohnsonAZ

Family Values Tour
The Deftones have a hard time sitting still -- at least that's what guitarist Stephen Carpenter says. After years of almost nonstop touring, the five-piece hard rock band has forgotten how to live like regular civilians. So, jumping on the Family Values Tour seemed natural. Especially since the Deftones' friends, Korn, share the bill. The two bands have often purposefully distanced themselves from each other, to avoid the obvious comparisons and competition, but that was a long time ago. Now the groups just want to have fun and play music with their friends. Both groups have promised to perform "Wicked" on stage together, but the Deftones will be performing mostly new material from their upcoming self-titled CD due out in September; it's their fifth studio recording.
Since their beginnings back in 1988, the Deftones have sold more three million concert tickets and four million albums, including the classic Grammy-winning White Pony. Made up of Chino Moreno on vocals and guitar, Abe Cunningham on drums, Chi Cheng on bass, Frank Delgado on keys and Stephen Carpenter on guitar, the Deftones will be on the road all summer, crisscrossing the United States and Canada, with just enough time off to headline the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan.

2015 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Live
Wrangler National Finals qualifier Reese Riemer of Stinnett finished fourth with a two-run time of 20.3 seconds. Chase Williams and Matt Shiozawa tied for first after each cowboy turned in a 19.7.
In team roping, former world champions Clay Tryan and Jade Corkill clinched the title after turning in a two-run time of 13.7 seconds. The saddle bronc riding title race concluded with a tie between Chad Ferley, another former world champion, and Layton Green, after each cowboy turned in an 83. Ferley earned his 83 on Harry Vold Rodeo's Cactus Flower and Green turned in the same score on Rocky Mountain Rodeo's Klingon.
Other champions were steer wrestler Seth Brockman (9.6 seconds on two head), barrel racer Nancy Hunter (17.55 seconds) and bull rider Garrett Smith (88 points on 4L & Diamond S Rodeo's Sandi's Dream).
About 15 events are tentatively scheduled – to be capped by a Finals – with the top performers from the season and the Finals qualifying for the annual RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla.
PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman and Mexican Rodeo Federation President Guillermo "Memo" Herrera signed the contract Oct. 26 at the Government Palace of Chihuahua in Chihuahua, Mexico.
"By opening our doors to the country of Mexico, it will provide a great opportunity for the PRCA to reach a whole new fan base and another source of new members and contestants," Stressman said. "This will also allow our current members the chance to compete in another part of North America."
Herrera said the partnership will benefit Mexican contestants, as well as the Federation.
"The PRCA is a dream of any rodeo cowboy and cowgirl in the world, and Mexico is not an exception," Herrera said. "I am so excited to be able to facilitate the opportunity for our Mexican kids, cowboys and cowgirls to experience this dream."
And now Mexico's best contestants may dream even bigger, with the ultimate goal of reaching the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nev.
"Everybody knows of the NFR, its champions and legends," Herrera said. "The opportunity to step in the same arena with your heroes, or better yet, to be able to compete with them, just that hope will be a great motivator."
Herrera said the Mexican cowboys and cowgirls who qualify for the RNCFR – two in each event, which includes the season leader and the champion from the Finals rodeo – in Kissimmee will also be honored by that opportunity. And the community leaders of Osceola County, Fla., who were instrumental in bringing the RNCFR to Kissimmee, are also excited by this new venture.
Fabiano Vieira (Perola, Brazil) finished in third place off an 86.75-point ride on Crazy Days (3CM Cattle Co.) taking the lead from first-time World Finals qualifier Mason Lowe (Exeter, Missouri), who came out of the chutes early in the round to tally 85.5 points on Gangster Bucks (3CM Cattle Co.). Lowe finished in fourth place. Vieira earned 100 points towards his world standings total, while Lowe added 80 points.
Lachlan Richardson (Gresford, Australia) and Cody Nance (Paris, Texas) tied for fifth place with 84.75-point rides, each earning 30 world points. Richardson rode For Play (Bob Whisnant/The Jaynes Gang) and Nance covered Little Tim's All Nighter (Warren's Bucking Bulls).
Round 1 also featured the top bulls of the American Bucking Bull, Inc., (ABBI) as an ABBI Classic Finals round, a competition for 3- and 4-year-old bucking bulls. The ABBI bucking bull with the highest score of the night was Bruiser (D&H Cattle Co./Buck Cattle Co.) with 89.75 points.
Behind Bruiser with scores of 88.25 points were Slinger Jr. (Carpenter/VonGontard/Rocking I Rodeo/Treichel) and Rebelution (Ravenscroft/Leslie Walter/Boyd-Floyd). In fourth place was Wicked Stick, Gangsters Wildside (Austin Riley/Josh Beckett) and Red Cloud (Martinez Bucking Bulls), each with a score of 88 points.
Tonight was the first round of the ABBI Classic Finals. The bull with the top average score after the second round on Saturday will be crowned ABBI Classic World Champion and awarded $200,000. For more information visit: www.americanbuckingbull.com.
Round 2 of the 2015 PBR World Finals takes place Thursday, Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. PT. Thursday also represents the PBR's Pink Night, featuring the Pink Buckathon. In addition to the riders and PBR staff donning pink and offering a $5,000 Boot Daddy Breast Cancer Bounty Bull, the PBR will also donate $250 for every qualified ride and $1,000 for every 90-point or more ride to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in support to fulfill the PBR's Pink Promise.

I just hate the natural frequency response of my beats pro's, but I absolutely love the sound of them once I have dropped the lows and boosted the highs. I just feel like other than their crappy response, they are wonderful headphones. I don't even feel like they are a bad deal at all (like every other beats set of headphones in existence) because after I put clean, powerful signal into them, I don't think they can beat for a set of durable cans. I own a set of HD 800's that I can't even listen to with my normal music. That 6000 hz boost is so painful. Sure they can't be beat for sound quality recorded tracks, but for everything else, I prefer a quiet but thumpy low end, and narrow sound stage. So yeah, I use my eq'd beats more often than my hd 800's.
try the HD 650s out, i think you will enjoy them alot.post #138 of 1502/26/13 at 7:13am
Hey everybody
I was planning to invest in a pair of Beats Pro, but I would like to know is there is a better option at the same price, no more, no less. So far I really like the Beats, but I want to hear opinions of others. Note, I need headphones with top quality sound, since Im a musician and the headphones are for my studio. thanks!post #139 of 1502/26/13 at 8:00am
If you value sound quality at all, then don't buy any headphones in the beat range.
If you're buying them just to look cool and to impress your mates, then buy one of those fake pairs for $20. (They'll probably still sound better than the real thing)post #140 of 1502/26/13 at 8:02amQuote:Originally Posted by jowiesax19

I have a pair of Sony MDR-V55 headphones that you can buy in the UK for under £40 ($60) and they blow the beats away in terms of sound quality and build quality.post #141 of 1502/26/13 at 8:14amQuote:Originally Posted by TheReem
LOL no. beats maybe over priced but that is a riduclous statement mate. the v55 are not even better than the solo hd. Beats pros are decent headphones very fun to listen to. I compared the pros to many headphones a few that they beat out are the ath m50, V moda m80 & m100. xb500 and xb700. The only cheap headphone that beats the pros are the shure440 but ot be fair in terms of clairty they beat my d2000 for clairty.
Well we'll agree to disagree then.
For me, the V55's have a far more balanced sound than the beat pros, which just sound boomy and make the mid-range sound like mud.
I don't believe that you've tried the V55's, so aren't in a position to make a comparison.post #142 of 1502/26/13 at 8:37amQuote:Originally Posted by TheReem
LOL i have owned them, How can you claim that someone hasn't tried them? The bass on the pros does not even go into the mids. The beats solo are an example of going into the mids. The pro can be a bit muddy sometimes with certain songs but they do have a clarity to them they also have nice bass and it's decent quality. Is it £200-300 quality absolutly not but to say a rubbish pair of headphones that are muddy sounding like the V55 is better than the flagship pro model that competes with good quality headphones in the £100-150 is just plain hating.
I still much prefer my v55's.
I've had them for over a year now and use them daily and they still show little to no signs of cosmetic wear. Unlike the beats where the headband has a high likely hood of snapping in half after a few months of usage.
You said that the beat pros are "fun sounding". Which is fine, some people prefer a big bassy sound over a more natural balanced sound. But I just prefer my music to sound more accurate. (No tracks sound muddy on the v55's, unless they're very badly mastered)post #143 of 1502/26/13 at 8:47am

I'm not trying to state my opinion as fact, so I apologize if I come across that way.
I bought the V55's when they were fairly new and paid £75 for them. But even then, I thought it was a bargain at that price.
I should also note that the V55's still retail at around £100 in many UK stores. Well worth the £40 that amazon are asking for them.
I'd take them over the beat solo & pros everytime. (Can't comment on the studios as i've never tested them, although they seem to get a bigger negative reception than the solos and pros).post #146 of 1502/26/13 at 9:21amQuote:Originally Posted by TheReem
No worries man, I have never really enjoyed a lot of sonys but many people do supose it just depends on what sound signature we are used to. If you didn't enjoy the pros you would hate the studios there awful for the price if you have heard the v moda crossfade lp they sound similar to them maybe a tad better in some areas. I hate the solo and studio they have too much bass with bleads a lot. Here in the UK we have so many competetive headphones at the 100-150 mark that the beats can sound terrible to some of them.
They'll never be a perfect headphone for everybody at any price range, because everybody has different tastes and perceptions of sound.
I think some of the headphones here in the UK are actually over priced compared to other places such as the US. A lot of the time it works our much cheaper, just to get them shipped over.post #147 of 1502/26/13 at 10:16amWow! I did not knew how critcized the beats where. Here in US they are very acclaimed by many, even professionalspost #148 of 1502/26/13 at 10:24amQuote:
The "acclaimed" are generally teenagers who have no idea that they can get far better sounding headphones in the same price range.
The "professionals" are big named celebs who are paid good money to endorse the headphones.
You get it here in the UK as well. Big star football/soccer players wearing them before games. (Sadly, people fall for it and end up squandering money on headphones that really aren't worth the price)post #149 of 1502/26/13 at 8:44pm

Take a basketball players catilac bumpin the bass, put it into some McDonald's happy meal toy plastic (metal if its the pros), take a dump on it and you get some headphone that should be worth 59-75 bucks.post #150 of 1506/27/13 at 8:13am

Homeless Hero Is Homeless No More
Updated:One man's good deed has turned his entire life around! Billy Ray Harris, a homeless good samaritan who returned a woman's $4,000 engagement ring after she dropped it in his collection cup, is homeless no more. Thanks to donations of strangers touched by his honesty, in just three months people had raised over $180,000 for him! Since then he's bought a house, a car, and got a part-time job.

No idea how to sum myself up... I'm quite odd, a little anti-social sometimes but outgoing and fun.
I love travelling where I can explore an interesting place. I adore animals and I enjoy reading and gaming. I'm also far too into politics and Twitter.
I'm probably both the most laid back person you'll ever meet and also the most hyper. Quite quiet when sober, and a couple of drinks later I'm up dancing on my own.
Looking for someone I can share my adventures with.
Food: Mexican, Indian, Italian, Greek... basically all of the food.
Movies: anything trashy
TV: Documentaries (nature, science, history), Game of Thrones, Dexter, Breaking Bad, 24, Inbetweeners, Peep Show, Futurama, Community, Alan Partidge
Music: indie, pop, emo, I'm very picky but also like a lot of crap. Bloc Party. Kanye. Biffy. Black Eyed Peas. Chvrches. The Smiths. Architects. Haim. Metronomy. Los Campesinos! Enter Shikari. FKA Twigs. Friendly Fires.
Games: Assassin's Creed, Portal, The Wolf Among Us, Batman

Showing result 1 - 5 of 61 essays containing the words Female participation.
1. "With this past, you'll never become free": A qualitative interview study of female ex-combatants in ColombiaUniversity essay from Uppsala universitet/Centrum för genusvetenskap
Abstract : This thesis explores women's experiences from participation in armed groups, and their subsequent reintegration into civil society within the Colombian context.

2. SpeakUP! Young Women Share Powerful Stories From Their Own LivesUniversity essay from Malmö högskola/Kultur och samhälle
Abstract : How can a Digital Storytelling workshop help educate, inspire and mobilise young women engaged in a non-profit organisation, in order to assist their peers? This exploratory study investigates whether Digital Storytelling can foster digital literacy, self-awareness and reflection amongst workshop participants, and how young women may be able to support each other and their peers through the act of creating and sharing personal digital stories. Conducted using qualitative and participatory methods, with the theoretical underpinnings of Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory and Social Cognitive Theory, Paulo Freire's conscientisation and participatory development, this research is conducted in collaboration with female mentors from the sport-based adolescent health organisation, Grassroot Soccer.

3. "Who run the world?" : Comparing Sweden's international behavior before and after the construction of a feminist foreign policyUniversity essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning
Abstract : Viewing Sweden's feminist foreign policy as a paradigmatically feminist and isolated case of domestic identity formulation, this thesis poses the following research question: to what extent does rapid identity construction affect state behavior? It assumes that a feminist state (en)genders the security concept and establishes interests in promoting (en)gendered security – which denotes the positive peace effects from female participation and protection – as an international security norm and thereby gain utility, security and legitimacy. Its constructivist hypothesis claims that the feminist identity has increased Sweden's international promotion of (en)gendered security. READ MORE

Abstract : We investigate the relationship between participation in the Adult Education Initiative (AEI) and cognitive skills. Using propensity score matching, we find that AEI participants do not perform better than non-participants. READ MORE

Thanks Bev - I'm not overly experienced with making meat stews, so couldn't say if this was really old fashioned or not (someone else mentioned it not the type of beef stew they were used to), I'd say this is the best one I've made. The end result was tasty and your quantities are bang on*. Browning the meat is a little time consuming, but I think worth it. *After reading some of the reviews I added about a cup of water to the crock pot...the gravy was the perfect consistency. I actually made two batches, one to freeze. I couldn't fit it all in one so in the one batch I used russet potatoes and the other batch I used a more waxy red potato. I'd say the russets worked best since they break down a little in the gravy. The only thing that seemed to be missing was garlic...but maybe that's just me. Thanks Bev - I'm sure I'll make this for the meat eaters in my house again.
Wondefully enjoyed.I did 3 cups potato and added half cup low sodium beef broth for more gravy.Thanks for posting.
This was good, but a lot more tomato tasting than I expected, and it was thick. It was a good stew, but didn't taste like beef stew to me.
Great stew recipe! I used low sodium V-8 juice for the flavor. Other than that I made as posted but I did add in 1 c. frozen peas. This was enjoyed by all and we will have it again when the cooler weather gets here. Delicious! Thanks for sharing this recipe Bev!
Maybe something went terribly awry, but ours turned out thick and overpowerigly tasting of tomato. This showed such promise, with the reviews, but the flavor and texture just didn't work for us. Sorry.
This was great. I never would have thought of putting tomato juice in a stew. I used V-8 and a pound of beef. More or less just dumped everything in the crock pot and let it run on low all day. YUM.
I have tried quite a few crock pot beef stews over the years, and for one reason or another we couldn't agree on one that we liked--until now! We really liked this. (Yes, a crazy time of year to make stew in Georgia, but I had some meat to use up.) Thanks for this keeper, Bev!
This beef stew was easy to throw together and tasty to eat. I used lean beef stew meat, fresh green beans, and dried herbs, but otherwise followed the recipe pretty exactly. I found the prep to be maybe 30 minutes, but I wasn't too exact about anything. Left it in the crockpot all day on low and came home after dd's ballet class to dinner ready and waiting. Served it with corn muffins. Thanks Bev!
Excellent recipe! I only had about 1-1/2 cups of V8, so made up the rest of the liquid with water, and also added some frozen peas (I needed to use up an open bag). Just before serving I thickened the gravy with some cornstarch, and served the stew with crusty wheat rolls. A very hearty stew with good flavor - I highly recommend. Thanks for posting! -M :-)
Bev, my hat is off to you for posting this recipe. It was full of flavor. There was no Prep Time given. It does take about 40 minutes to brown the beef and cut up the vegetables. For those who don't have that much time in the morning, I recommend making this the night before if you have a removal liner in your crockpot. This way all you have to do is place the liner in your crockpot and turn it on. You are good to go. Also, to save time you can buy frozen stew vegetables. I did add 2 cups of the green beans, corn and carrots. I then added about 1 more cup of vegetable juice to my 6 quart Rival Slow Cooker. I had six people to feed tonight. I highly recommend this recipe. I served it with side salad, homemade herb bread and Mizz Nezz Yellow Lemony Cake #46672 topped off with strawberries and whip cream.

Like any good rabble-rousing subversive, M.I.A. is more comfortable as an underdog. In 2009, the London-born agit-rapper of Sri Lankan descent - who played Upper Darby's Tower Theatre Friday in support of her fourth album, Matangi - appeared to be the absolutely coolest person in the world.
That was when she waddled around, nine months pregnant, at the Grammy awards, upstaging Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and T.I. on "Swagga Like Us," a song built on a sample of "Paper Planes," her unlikely global hit whose hook is the sound of gunshots clashing with chiming cash registers.

It's the Drury, what more do you have to say? Comfortable room, well trained gracious staff, quiet night, clean room, it was everything we expected. The pullout couch was even a comfortable sleep for the teenager and plenty of hot water!
Staff was very friendly. My boyfriend and I stayed with the Drury Inn for 3 nights. We celebrated our birthdays while we were there and the breakfast and bar worker, front desk worker and manager got together and sang to us during kickback. They gave us a bag of candy and water. It was very nice of them!
This hotel is located southeast of Louisville and is pretty easy to access from the city. There are several other hotels and restaurants nearby. These include Bob Evans, Waffle House (can walk to these) and IHOP (across the main street.) We also passed an Olive Garden and other familiar names as we entered the area. We were pleasantly surprised to... 更多

Husband and I just stayed one night at this Drury and we were very satisfied. Check in was easy and quick. Great room, clean, clean, clean! Everything we needed was available. Only drawback was the noise level of the AC. Breakfast was good, hot and plenty available. Would definitely stay again!
I stayed at a Drury Plaza in San Antonio and had an excellent time there. Impressed by the size of the room, the selection for breakfast, and the surprising food options in the evening reception. So, of course, I expected the same thing when I booked the Drury Inn in Louisville. First and foremost, there's a BIG difference between a... 更多

Ion Funnel
Application ID: 15391
An electrodynamic ion funnel provides an efficient means of transferring ions from regions of high pressure to high vacuum. The ion funnel can couple devices which generally operate at pressures of different orders of magnitude, such as ion mobility spectrometers and mass spectrometers, allowing mixtures of ionized gases to be separated and analyzed while minimizing losses.
This model investigates the focusing effect of an electrodynamic ion funnel. The model uses a Monte Carlo collision setting to model the interaction of ions with the neutral background gas.
This application was built using the following:AC/DC Module Particle Tracing Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.
