Father's Day Gold
I have an admission to make: I'm a secret golf geek. Yeah, I golf. I'm not very good at it, but I love it. And I watch golf, a lot of golf. I can tell you if you have a wicked reverse pivot or are swinging outside-in.

And I absolutely loved this book. I laughed my grass off. If you liked the Eddie Caminetti books or the Caddyshack or Tin Cup movies, you must read this book.

Sentell has whipped up a golf farce that resonates like a clubhead's *ping* after a lovely ball strike. It's obvious from that Sentell is both an insider and a devotee of golf. Anyone who watches a little bit of golf, like bits of the final round of the Masters on alternate years, will snort at the golf snarks in this book. If you watch the Golf Channel with any frequency, you'll loooooove this book.

I gave this book to my dad for Father's Day last year, and he loved it. If your dad even occasionally golfs, then this book is a great Daddy-Day gift.

Blasts The Masters
Even die-hard worshipers at the shrine of Augusta National will never watch the Master's the same way again once they've read Toonamint of Champions, a hilarious send-up of the hallowed event written by Georgia golf writer Todd Sentell.

Sentell puts a cast of outrageous characters both inside and outside the sacred grounds where golf's elite meet each spring to celebrate the game. Playing a round at Augusta is every golfer's fondest dream--and one that will never, ever come true for 99.99999% of us. But Sentell's Waymon Poodle, a daydreamer from Mullet Luv, Georgia, manages the feat in a way that defies description in a family book review.

Toonamint of Champions is the perfect read for Master's weekend. I suggest you don't try to multi-task and read it while you're waiting for Zach Johnson to line up his putts on TV, though. You just might end up laughing so hard you'll miss the winning stroke.

A PIE IN THE FACE

The Augusta National golf club deserves a pie in the face, a big foamy white sloppy cream pie.

I have never swung a golf club in my life, and at my age, not likely ever to do so. However, I am an avid watcher of golf and enjoy the Master's Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club for the high level of play of the entrants. However, for me at least, the members of the organization itself equally fascinate me.

Based on the snobbery scale, only those at level seven and above need apply. Hootie Johnson, from his Augusta National throne, issued edicts to the rest of the world. Fortunately, they apply only to Augusta National or we would by now be fighting world war three with nine irons and pitching wedges.

The members must be of the hoity-toity, the elite, or royalty and must be male (I chose "male" instead of "men" because there may be doubt about orientations). Hootie Johnson, then Augusta National Emperor descended the throne to say that Augusta National will not have commercials interrupting the Masters Tournament. Magnanimously, it would please the viewers - the little people - he implied as the reason rather than the organizations sexist attitudes.

With Toonamint of Champions, Todd Sentell has delivered the pie in the face that Augusta National has so long deserved. It is an out of the box comedic romp through all of the mores so treasured by the snobby club. Even the names of the unforgettable characters Sentell conjures up for this novel thumbs a nose at them, Waymon Poodle, Mullet Georgia, LaJuanita Mumps and the clincher, Emiglio Rafsoolicicki.

Don't try to read this book to drop off to sleep with. Chances are you'll stay awake until you've finished it and even then the comedic images Sentell has created will float across your mind and you'll wake up laughing again.

Five stars for Toonamint of Champions, six if there is such a level.

Great read
Sentell's book is charming and witty and not just for those who follow golf. Treat yourself to a humorous respite from all the bad news on TV and curl up with TOONAMINT OF CHAMPIONS. You'll find yourself laughing out loud at the absurdity.

The truth is out!
I always wondered what went on within the bastion of the golfing world...and now I know! Apparently it's full of some of the most outrageous and truly original characters, all brought to life by Todd in a blaze of comic color. The humor is terrific fun, slapstick and side splitting and whether you have feelings for the institution of golf or not, you will love what Todd has bravely done to it! ... Read more

Chapters: Gt.m, Smumps, Micronetics Standard Mumps. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 18. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: GT.M is a high-throughput key-value database engine optimized for transaction processing. (It is a type also referred to as "schema-less", "schema-free," or "NoSQL.") GT.M is also an application development platform and a compiler for the ISO standard M language, also known as MUMPS. GT.M, an abbreviation for Greystone Technology M, was developed by the Greystone Technology Corp in the 1980s. It is an implementation of ANSI standard M for various UNIX systems and OpenVMS. In addition to preserving the traditional features of M, GT.M also offers an optimizing compiler that produces object code that does not require internal interpreters during execution. The database engine, made open source in 2000, is maintained by Fidelity Information Services. GT.M is used as the backend of their FIS Profile banking application, and it powers ING DIRECT banks in the United States, Canada, Spain, France and Italy. It is also used as an open source backend for the US Department of Veterans Affairs Electronic Health Record system WorldVistA and other open source EHRs such as Medsphere's OpenVista. It is listed as an open source healthcare solution partner of Red Hat. Today it consists of approximately 2 million lines of code. GT.M consists of a language subsystem, a database subsystem, and utility programs. The language subsystem and database subsystem are closely integrated, but each is usable without the other. The language and database subsystems share common data organization and typing. GT.M has only two data types - canonical numbers and strings. A string is any arbitrary sequence of bytes (including nulls). A string such as "42" is a canonical number. Data typing is dyna...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1181178 ... Read more

Chapters: Mumps Outbreaks in the 2000s. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 25. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Mumps outbreaks in the 2000s refers to mumps outbreaks occurring from 2000 through 2009. Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dalhousie University was struck with an outbreak of the mumps confirmed in many students with suspected cases in dozens of others. The main causes of the large outbreak include students being unaware of being infected, and other students who knowingly ignored quarantine restrictions. The outbreak began after St. Patrick's Day, and has spread beyond the university community, with confirmed cases reaching 350 cases of mumps since February, including about 24 new cases that have surfaced during the week ending June 9, 2007. The end of the university year in May meant that many students travelled to their homes across the country carrying the infection, leading to a large scale spread, the extent of which is still not clear, although the prevalence of the disease lay in people aged 17 to 24. Roughly 50 personnel of the Halifax-based navy ship HMCS Glace Bay were sent home as a precaution. Reported outbreaks have begun in New Brunswick (Approximately 100 cases), Prince Edward Island (2 cases), Ontario (3 cases confirmed, 5 suspected), West Coast of Newfoundland (2 cases), and Toronto (3 cases). On October 3, 2007, a new case was reported at Nipissing University/Canadore College, in North Bay, Ontario. On October 26, four additional cases were reported in Alberta at the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College; By October 30, this had expanded to 5 confirmed.. As of Nov. 16 there have been a total of 54 cases in Alberta.
