Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh
Touchstone • $17.99 • ISBN 9781451666175
Published October 29, 2013
If you're familiar with Allie Brosh's wildly popular blog, Hyperbole and a Half, then you're no doubt jumping for joy that she's just published a book based on it. If all of this is new to you, trust me—by the third page in, you will be simply in love with the odd little being depicted on the book's cover. Trust me. That odd—crudely drawn yet o-so-expressive—little being represents Brosh in this amusing (often laugh-out-loud), honest and touching collection of illustrated essays about her life, from her childhood antics to living with dogs to her struggle with chronic depression as an adult—and lots of moments in between.
Already a New York Times bestseller, Hyperbole and a Half brims with warmth and sincerity, even—perhaps most—when Brosh is at her most self-deprecating. Crack it open, and you will crack a smile; you most definitely will laugh; and you'll no doubt look forward to more adventures with that odd little being.

Since his death in 2005, Richard Pryor has been named as the No. 1 comedian of all time by Comedy Central and continues to influence the American comedy scene to this day. In Furious Cool: Richard Pryor and the World That Made Him, authors David and Joe Henry draw from a wide range of sources and personal experiences, including conversations with Pryor himself, in their exploration of the man behind the comedy legend.
While the Henry brothers' admiration for Pryor certainly shines through, Furious Cool does not shy away from the darker details of Pryor's rise to fame—his turbulent upbringing, emotional conflicts and drug abuse are all essential details in this story, making this a very honest and engrossing read.
Watch the great documentary-style trailer from Algonquin below:

Ann Patchett is best known for her award-winning and best-selling novels, including Bel Canto and State of Wonder. (We also love that she co-founded Parnassus Books here in Nashville in 2011.)
Patchett's latest book, This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage, is a collection of essays that spans her 20-year career and covers a wide range of topics, including her attempt to get into the L.A. Police Academy and her love of opera. According to our reviewer, each chapter is "told in simple, appealing prose that feels like a phone conversation with a good friend." (Read the full review.)
We were curious about the books Patchett has been reading lately, so we asked her to recommend three recent favorites, which she graciously agreed to share:
My husband is a doctor, and so a lot of his friends are doctors. They work together in a hospital; they have their own lunchroom. When they get stuck trying to figure out what's wrong with a patient, they call each other to talk through the possibilities and get advice. It's not so different for writers. While we don't all work in the same place (unless we live in Brooklyn), we bounce ideas off one another. We seek solace and advice through letters, emails, phone calls and through reading one another's books. Three of my best friends have novels out now, and they've all been to my bookstore, Parnassus Books in Nashville, while on tour. It's no surprise my favorite books of late were written by my favorite people (listed in order of pub dates).
The Apprentices
By Maile Meloy
This is the sequel to the very successful The Apothecary. Maile wrote two novels and two collections of short stories for adults (all fantastic) before turning her considerable talents to middle school children. I have almost no ability to read fiction for young people, a shortcoming, I know, but I found these books riveting. Maile brings the full force of her extraordinary intelligence and imagination to bear on magical, scientific and geo-political themes. Plus the boy gets the girl.
The Signature of All Things
By Elizabeth Gilbert
People have a tendency to believe that the first book of yours they read was also the first book you wrote, so many readers who were introduced to Liz through Eat, Pray, Love (there were more than 8 million of them) neglected to notice that she had already written three other books before that, two of them fiction. So while it may come as a surprise to some that her new book is a complicated and brilliant novel about a 19th-century botanist who is devoted to moss, those of us who have read all her books always knew she had it in her. (Read our interview with Gilbert about The Signature of All Things.)
The Goldfinch
by Donna Tartt
Donna once told me the reason her books take so long to write (her last one, The Little Friend, was published 12 years ago) is that they are about as long as three regular novels. They are certainly three times as complex as a regular novel, and about 10 times as ambitious (and maybe 20 times as beautiful). David Copperfield as nothing on her hero, Theo, who is spun out into the world by a terrorist attack with nothing but one perfect painting to hold himself together. It's a classic.
What do you think, readers? Will you be checking out This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage or any of Patchett's recommended books?

Let's get this over with: Scotch is whisky, everything else is whiskey. Our reviewer Eve Zibart, who shared her selection of some of the season's best drinks books in our November issue, would even argue that "Scotch whisky" is redundant. Here's Eve's take on a new offering from Princeton Architectural Press that highlights that perennially popular brown beverage.
Instant Expert: Whiskey, by Master of Malt and whiskey educator John Lamond, is for the habitual, and habituated, sipper. This pocket reference—which can be secured with a handy yellow elastic—emphasizes tasting notes, so its appeal may depend on how you view what used to be considered "winespeak." Flavors and aromas described as greenery, tarry rope, dark chocolate, cocoa, ripe orange, pineapple, pine needles, licorice, vanilla, marzipan, toffee, fennel, musk, cereal (no brand), peat (naturally), seaweed, iodine, melon, violets, cherry, smoky cough syrup (!), "mahogany-flavored chewiness" (who knew?), "homemade black current jam" (one longs to visit his pantry) and so on. This is exacting and pungent, but a few experiments will likely prove Lamond a reliable guide—and a fortifying one. He also lists some classic cocktails and great whiskey bars of the world, though sadly, the U.S. is scantly represented. At least the recipes don't require a chemist.

Award-winning author Lee Smith is back with her 13th novel, Guests on Earth, which follows heroine Evalina Toussaint from her childhood in Depression-era New Orleans to her stay in Highland Hospital in North Carolina (where one fellow patient is Zelda Fitzgerald) following the death of her mother. Our reviewer gives the book high praise, proclaiming that it "delivers on all counts, entrancing readers with a brilliant tapestry that falls inside the confines of historical fiction, yet defies genre with a hypnotic narrative." Read the full review here.
We were curious about the books Smith has been reading lately, so we asked her to recommend three recent favorites:
By Barbara Kingsolver
A huge cloud of migrating butterflies makes a surprise landing on an Appalachian mountaintop, forever changing many lives. . . . It's hard to write a strongly thematic novel like this without letting the meaning overtake the characters, yet Barbara Kingsolver succeeds brilliantly, with fully developed characters, wonderful dialogue and close observation of daily life—right down to daytime TV shows and home cooking! The serious ecological implications of this fine novel do not obscure the pleasures of getting to know the main character and her family—and watching her come of age as a woman fulfilling her own possibilities. Flight Behavior is both suspenseful and very moving—a great read.
By Naoki Higashida
This extraordinary little book is the inner voice of a 13-year-old Japanese boy with autism, born in 1992 and still in junior high school when the book was first published. Here he interviews himself, asking simple questions such as "Why do you line up your toys so obsessively?" "Why won't you make eye contact?"—all the things I have naturally wondered about in dealing with my own beloved autistic granddaughter.
Naoki graduated from high school in 2011 and lives in Japan, where he is an advocate, the author of several books of fiction and nonfiction, and a motivational speaker even though spoken communication is very difficult for him even now, according to his translators KA Yoshida and David Mitchell, parents of an autistic son themselves. David Mitchell is the author of many novels including Cloud Atlas. In his introduction he says, "The three characters used for the word 'autism' in Japanese signify 'self,' 'shut,' and 'illness.' My imagination converts these characters into a prisoner locked up and forgotten inside a solitary confinement cell waiting for someone, anyone, waiting to realize he or she is in there. The Reason I Jump knocks out a brick in the wall." Amen—it certainly does.
By Jill McCorkle
Jill McCorkle's great gift for voice is on display in this lively novel which moves from speaker to speaker in an old folks' home where romance and laughter abound . . . along with a gathering mystery which makes it a page-turner by the end. By turns hilarious, moving, surprising, and thought-provoking, Life After Life will resonate with every reader as it has with me, I'll bet—since we are all dealing with just these situations in our own lives, whether it's taking care of our parents or thinking ahead ourselves. But let me assure you that there is nothing depressing about this wonderful novel. Written in language which mixes poetry with down-home grit, Life After Life sings and soars above its subject with originality and grace.
If, like me, you spent much of your childhood consciously avoiding uttering the phrase "I don't know," or boasting to your friends that you could most definitely climb up an oil-slicked slide in less than five seconds, our next Nostalgia Week book is just for you.
SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age is the wondrous result of author Mathew Klickstein's hundreds of interviews with the folks—both behind the scenes and on camera—who brought us such beloved TV show gems as "Double Dare," Clarissa Explains It All," "The Ren & Stimpy Show" and, of course, "You Can't Do That on Television."
In this guest post, Klickstein shares what it was like writing the book, as well as some fascinating tidbits he discovered along the way:
When I first signed with a major publisher to write the Nickelodeon oral history, I was uncontrollably besotted by champagne-colored visions of estranged friends and long-lost girls from my past contacting me out of the blue: "Matt! I saw your book in the store!"
It's only now, after publication and while navigating the circuitous machinery of the publicity foofaraw, that I've come to understand who the audience for SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age really is.
It's not only us. It's also them—the people this book is about. In truth, I've realized only recently that the main reason I wrote a book on this most grand era is this: In revealing to all of us the more than 250 Nick VIPs who contributed to SLIMED!, I've also revealed us to them.
The book's reception has reinforced the fact that, yes, even as (slightly more) sane and (slightly less) loudly sentient adults, we do still care as much as we did back when these people were wildly running around onscreen as our heroes during their formative years. We're here, we're not going away and neither will Nick's Golden Age.
Along the craggy path to figuring all of this out, I picked up four breadcrumbs that definitely surprised me about Nick's foundational years that may surprise you too:
Green slime was at one point dangerous. Aside from the truly disgusting and likely toxic provenance of green slime that you'll have to read about in SLIMED! to believe, it's worth noting that a "sliming" was initially categorized as having the same television "violence rating" as a decapitation, according to a report by media specialist George Gerbner. Additionally, green slime's "secret ingredients" in the early years included baby shampoo in order to help facilitate the cleaning-from-the-hair process. Even though it was baby shampoo, it could still burn one's eyes, especially if one were to take his/her sliming incorrectly. And, yes, there was a Right Way and a Wrong Way to be slimed.
Yes, Christine Taylor ("Melody") and David Lascher ("Ted") from "Hey Dude" did date during part of the series' production. "Hey Dude" director Fred Keller explains in SLIMED! that for two adolescents, Christine and David handled the typical vicissitudes of young love very well. Immediately after that quote in the book, however, Christine avers that it's actually surprising how poorly they dealt with it. And therein lies the whimsical contradictions of an oral history.
Marc Summers is not a total douchebag. In fact, just the opposite is true. One would assume a wildly famous game show host would be the kind of Bad and the Beautiful jerk-off. But with Marc, that perennial smile is not an act. He really does love what he does, and he really does love his fans. There was not one person I spoke to in this book who didn't bring up Marc as a friend, a collaborator, a mentor or a partner in crime.
Joey Ramone was almost on an episode of "The Adventures of Pete & Pete." In the episode, Little Pete decides to start up a band of his own after hearing the first and only song he's ever actually liked. Singer-songwriter Syd Straw (who played numbers-obsessed math teacher Ms. Fingerwood) was actually a staple of the '80s music/punk/art scene of '80s New York City. When she was asked by producers to help fill in the band, she immediately called up her good buddy Joey Ramone. Joey had never seen the show before, but Syd made the premise of being on this hip and wacky kids' show sound so appealing to the punk progenitor, that he nearly agreed . . . until he remembered he was leaving for a full European tour the next day with his "bruddahs."
What do hippies, surfers, up-and-coming rock bands and cross-country road trippers all have in common? Often, it's their choice of vehicle: a VW Camper Van. In the nearly 70 years since its inception in the 1950s, the reliable and roomy vehicle has become a pop culture icon with a devoted cult following. One of these enthusiasts is Mike Harding, author of The VW Camper Van: A Biography. Part history, part memoir, the book is sure to delight the most diehard of devotees—and fully entertain those who are merely curious.
In this guest blog post, Harding writes about his love affair with Molly—his orange 2001 Type 2 Transporter—their adventures together and some interesting tidbits he learned while writing The VW Camper Van:
Like Toad in The Wind in the Willows, I have always been fascinated by the open road, the road that goes ever on and leads away from the world of work and taxes. And, to me, the VW Camper Van, with it's blush of hippie-dom, looked like a magical key to that place of adventure and freedom.
But I had a family and lots of commitments and although I did travel the world—from trekking in the high Himalayas to lone Buddhist temples, crossing the Hindu Kush and singing for my supper in the mining camps of the Australian deserts—I never made that final leap and bought myself a Camper.
Until one November day filled with dark, Wuthering Heights weather, when I followed an ad in a VW mag and bought Molly in the back streets of a Northern England industrial town.
Since then Molly and I have traveled Britain, staying in forests and by the seashore and visiting lonely moorland pubs and friendly village folk festivals. With my banjo on the back seat and her little fridge full of food and wine, we trundle along the backroads shouting "Poop poop!" to the world.
Here are some little known facts about the VW Camper Van:
• The early VW vans featured the filler cap for the fuel tank in the lockable engine compartment because of the rampant cases of fuel theft from vehicles in postwar Europe.
• If it weren't for an Englishman from Northern England—Major Ivan Hirst—there would be no VW Beetle or Camper Van. (You'll have to read the book to find out why!)
• President Johnson's "Chicken Tax," which effectively stopped the import of VWs into the U.S. in the late '60s, has still not been repealed.
• VW vans have been used for everything from funeral hearses to camping vans, from fire engines to mobile chintzy English tea rooms complete with fragile china cups and fairy cakes.
• Sadly, the production of VW Camper Vans came to an end this year.

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
Little, Brown • $26 • ISBN 9780316322409
Published October 8, 2013
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, 15-year-old Pakistani Malala Yousafzai was on her way home after school when she was shot in the head at point-blank range. This was no random act of violence. Her hometown of Mingora, in the Swat Valley, had recently come under the control of the Taliban, who are known to vigorously oppose the education of girls. Malala—whose parents had always encouraged her education, her father even founding her school—did not shy away from publicly speaking out about her belief in the right of all girls to go to school. Doing so made her a target, leading to that fateful October afternoon.
Defying all odds and expectations, Malala survived the shooting, making a full recovery and more determined than ever to fight for the right of girls around the world to be educated. I Am Malala is her story—a story that is simply incredible, simply unforgettable, simply inspiring. Here are her eloquent and powerful opening words:
I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.
One year ago I left my home for school and never returned. I was shot by a Taliban bullet and was flown out of Pakistan unconscious. Some people say I will never return home, but I believe firmly in my heart that I will. To be torn from the country that you love is not something to wish on anyone.
Now, every morning when I open my eyes, I long to see my old room full of my things my clothes all over the floor, and my school prizes on the shelves. Instead I am in a country which is five hours behind my beloved homeland Pakistan and my home in the Swat Valley. But my country is centuries behind this one. Here there is every convenience you can imagine. Water running from every tap, hot or cold as you wish; lights at the flick of a switch, day and night, no need for oil lamps; ovens to cook on that don't need anyone to go and fetch gas cylinders from the bazaar. Here everything is so modern one can even find food ready cooked in packets.
When I stand in front of my window and look out, I see tall buildings, long roads full of vehicles moving in orderly lines, neat green hedges and lawns, and tidy pavements to walk on. I close my eyes and for a moment I am back in my valley—the high snow-topped mountains, green waving fields and fresh blue rivers—and my heart smiles when it looks at the people of Swat. My mind transports me back to my school and there I am reunited with my friends and teachers. I meet my best friend Moniba and we sit together, talking and joking as if I had never left.
Then I remember I am in Birmingham, England.
So far this week, we've indulged our nostalgia for toys and candy, and now it's time for reminiscing over another cultural obsession: movies! Infographic Guide to the Movies by Karen Krizanovich is sure to delight film buffs with its clever, bright graphics illustrating a bookload of facts, tidbits and trivia about the movies. A map detailing the zombie outbreaks depicted in films, a timeline of apocalyptic movies and an illustrated analysis of Judd Apatow's secret for success—these and more make this fun book a visual feast for movie lovers of all kinds.
Author Karen Krizanovich describes what it was like compiling the more than 100 infographics of the book and even shares couple of them to whet your appetite:
Everyone loves films, trivia and graphics. As a film writer and author of Infographic Guide to the Movies, I can say that this 160-page book is so engaging that people will forget they're learning things while reading it. As I say in the introduction, research shows that infographics can help almost anyone grasp difficult concepts more easily. (That's almost everyone. Bear that in mind.)
I'll avoiding further grandiose epistemological statements. It took more than 30 designers to make Infographic Guide to the Movies as alluring as it is. Some designers supplied their own ideas; others illustrated our concepts. Our biggest problem was, to paraphrase Amadeus (1984), "simply too many notes"—we had too many great ideas. My suggestion to determine editorial content by arm-wrestling was quashed, so this book is not the work of me as auteur. It's more a case of, as Mel Brooks once said, "We are all singing but I have the mouth."
Infographic Guide to the Movies was a labor of love. Who am I kidding? It was an obsession! I have had a love-hate relationship with infographics ever since I failed my first quantitative methodology exam. (I passed the second one. Just passed.) For all completionists and "detail people" out there, please read the introduction before you email me with your thoughts, corrections, arguments and "what ifs." It's a book, made by humans, printed on paper. It will have errors. The question is, can readers find them all?
Ryan Gosling is very close to the world's most perfect man, so it's good to see here that his skill makes us love him no matter what he plays. I look at page 31 and say to myself, "Hey girl," and pretend he's saving me from being hit by a bus in New York City. Like he once did for real. (Not to me.)
Attack Clint! is one of my favorite pages. In fact, you could do one of these for any action actor. How much does his character need to suffer for us to empathize with him? Lots.

It should also be noted that there are no pictures yet, only renderings. Personally, I would want to be sure the thing existed before dropping $1.5K on it.
That or wait for apple to get its act together and release an official version. Clearly there are people who want them.
they're offered for sale, but there are no bidders
Any real consumer reviews of these from happy/unhappy customers?
Ok, it doesn't sound like they even have a prototype and it voids Apple's warrantee. This does not give me any confidence in their ability to do this work. I wouldn't want them fucking with my iBook.
I'll wait for Apple, thank you very much.

...most of which where books about tennis, none hardware.
So they're selling you a $1500 tennis racquet.
There has to be a good joke in here somewhere.
I'd say the lack of actual existence is a more pressing issue. It reads as if some guy said "I'll bet I can do this. Somebody lend me your iBook." And everybody said no. So they're trying this.

The ways that Axiom Verge resembles Metroid help set up and drive home the ways that Axiom Verge is most definitely not Metroid.
Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.
Battlefield Hardline did not crash during our tests and appears to function precisely as expected at this time.
Game »
consists of 5 releases.
Released Aug 15, 2009
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
Often referred to as Hentai, Eroge is a video game genre which has (usually manga-style) erotic content and artwork.
A game based on an anime.
These games were popular enough to warrant an anime, whether it was a full television series, an OVA (original video animation), or a feature-length movie.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
An intimate physical activity between two or more individuals.
Unrequited love is when one person loves another, but that love is unreturned. It could be unreturned because that person hates the other person, just doesn't love the other person, or doesn't even know he or she is loved by that person.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. Urination is sometimes found in games for a number of reasons, including comic relief and a quick pathway to sobriety.
A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, dialogue trees, decision-making, and branching narratives, as well as artwork, cutscenes, voice acting, and music.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul
Omikron Nomad Soul 10 Year Anniversary Edition
Hello All,
Omikron Nomad Soul was first released 1st November 2009. I enjoyed playing this game when it came out, Unfortunately, I was never able to beat the game. A few years later, I reinstalled the game to try to complete it. Unfortunately the game would not work because newer computers could not support the game.
I thought it would be great if for the 10 year anniversary of the game's release, if Quantic Dream released an Anniversary Edition which works with newer computers. I don't know much about game development, but I don't think it would be too hard to do. All I really want to do is be able to play the game again, and I am sure many people feel the same way. Would be cool if they made some additions as well. :)
I was thinking about trying to get a hold of Quantic Dream to ask them if this would be possible. I think to help my case if I could show that this is something that people are interested...Anyone have any ideas on how I could achieve this? Maybe people could just reply to this thread saying if they are interested or not.
Well lemme know what you guys think.
If you agree, please sign my petition, thank you:
hi! hey i like omikron too and im now playing it on win XP and i didnt have trouble with the installation, but anyway, I like your anniversary-thing idea and im gonna support you on what I can. my cd 1 is like broken so i cant install it either. the thing is that they are still working on heavy rain and theyre gonna work on omikron 2, but if, as you say, making that anniversary version for newer computers is not gonna take a lot of time and work, maybe they'll do it.

1 Mission Atlas Project Asia Macau Basic Facts Name: Macau or Macao, now incorporated as a Special Administrative District of China on 20 December 1999. Population: Estimates run from 437,000 (2000 – Macau Gov.) to 453,377 (July 2001 – CIA). The majority of the population (80%) lives on the peninsula with the population growing on the Islands of Taipa and Coloane as development increases. Ethnically the overwhelming majority is Chinese (95- 96%). Most of this group has ancestral ties to the Guangdong Province of China. Other groups are immigrants from Hong Kong and a group of people who are a mixture of Portuguese/ Chinese descent who are called Macanese people (2.7 %). There is still a small Portuguese population. Macau government reports the annual population growth to be around 4% a year. However the CIA give as 1.79% annual growth rate. Interesting that the government says that there is an annual people- flow rate of 25 million coming in and out of the country. Macau is one of the countries with the highest density ratio. The ratio is 24,379 persons per sq km (63,195 per sq mi). The age structure of the Macau is 0-14 years: 22.68% (male – 53,291/ female – 49,615); 15-64 years: 70.08% (male – 150,538/ female – 167,431) and 65 years and over: 7.24% (male – 13,287/ female – 19,571). Life expectancy is total population: 81.69 years; male: 78.88 years and female: 84.69 years. The birth rate is 12.36 births/ 1,000 population. Death rate is 3.71 deaths/ 1,000 population. The infant mortality rate is 4.47 death/ 1,000 live births. The total fertility rate is 1.31 children born/ woman. The net migration rate is 9.25 migrant(s)/ 1,000 population. http://www.1uptravel.com/international/asia/macau/people.html. Location: Macau is located on the peninsula of Macau on the southeast coat of China. It is also composed of two small islands Taipa and Coloane. It borders the Guangdong Province and is west of the Pearl River Delta. The total area ranges from 21 sq km (CIA) to 23.8 sq km (Macau Gov.) depending upon resent land reclamation that is constantly in progress. The comparative area would be 0.1 the size of Washington DC. Encarta divides the land space the peninsula 6.5 sq km; Taipa 3.8 sq km and Coloane 7.1 sq km. This does not factor in recent land reclamation. Land Boundaries: Land boundary with China is 0.34 km (.2 mi). The coastline is 40 km (25 mi). Terrain: The typography of Macau is low rolling hills. The elevation ranges form sea level to 174 m (571 ft). The city is connected to the islands by two bridges and one causeway. The main natural hazard faced by the island is typhoons in summer and early fall. These storms can cause great damage and flooding. Only 2% of the land is used for permanent crops. Climate: The climate is subtropical. The fall is cool and dry and the winters are mild with no frost. The average January temperature is 16 degrees C (61 F). The summers are warm and humid with an average temperature in July of 26 degrees C (79 F). The average rainfall is 200mm or around 80 in. 2 Typhoons have a big impact on the summer rainfall. http://www.theodora.com/wfb/macau_geography.html. Economy: China exerts major influence in Macau is through investments. The local economy is heavily dependant on gambling and tourism (40% GDP and 25% GDP respectively) as Macau receives more than eight million tourist in 2000. Industry used to be more prominent in the country but has declined in recent years. However, the value of the goods produced has continued to increase. The two main areas of manufacturing are textiles and clothing (approximately 75% of export earnings) and fireworks. In attempts to diversify areas such as toys and electronics have increased. The main recipients of exports are United States and the European Union. Macau receives the most imports from China and Hong Kong, mainly raw materials, food, water and fuels. The deficit of imports is more than balanced by the profits form gambling and tourism. Macau is a free port. Pataca is the unit of currency in Macau; they also accept Hong Kong currency. Patacas to US dollar – 8.033 (Jan 2001). The Pataca is linked to the Hong Kong dollar at the rate of 1.03 Pataca per Hong Kong dollar. Macau has an excellent transportation system, which includes commercial shipping routes and passenger routes, that use high-speed hydrofoils and catamaran, between Hong Kong and some cities in China. In 1995 the Macau International Airport began operation. Modern telecommunication and media services are available in Macau. Interestingly most of the television broadcasts originate in Hong Kong. There is a public television station in Macau that broadcasts in Cantonese and Portuguese. There is also one public and one private radio station that broadcast in the same two languages. Macau has eleven daily newspapers (4 – Portuguese; 7 – Chinese). GPD – real growth rate – 2% (2000 est.) GDP – per capita - $17,500 (2000 est.) GDP – composition by sector – industry – 25%; services – 75% Inflation rate -/ -1.8% (2000 est.) Labor force – by occupation – restaurants and hotels 26%, manufacturing 22%, other services 52% (2000 est.) Unemployment – 6.2% (Aug 2001) http://www.economia.gov.mo/. Government Following a political revolution in Portugal that installed democracy as the governing order, Portugal then gave independence to it's overseas territories. Macau became a Chinese territory that was administrated by Portugal. The Macau Organic Law, which established the legislative assembly and operational procedures, was ratified in 1976. This gave Macau a larger amount of local autonomy, but it still remained subject to the Constitution of Portugal. The executive head of the territory was a Portuguese government appointee by the President of Portugal. The legislative assembly is composed of twenty-three members. Eight are elected directly by the people, seven are appointed by the governor, and eight are elected indirectly. This last group is composed of specifically designated cultural, economic and religious sectors of the population. Due to 3 the appointive process of the assembly, a large amount of power rested with the governor. There is also an elected city council that has imputed from the people into the legislative process. The last election in 1996 divided among three main parties: pro-business (4), pro-China (3) and a liberal democratic group (1). In 1999 Macau became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. China's executive leadership replaced the Portuguese governor. The Portuguese Constitution was replaced by the Basic Law approved in March 1993 by China's National People's Congress as serves as Macau's "mini-constitution." The legal system continues to be based upon Portuguese civil law system. The legislative Assembly is still active with the next election in October 01. The judicial branch is the Court of Final Appeal in the Macau Special Administrative Region. The national holidays are 1 October (1949), the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Also observed in Macau is 20 Dec 1999 – the Macau Special Administrative Region Establishment Day. http://www.macau.gov.mo/. Society: Macau society is in a state of flux. It has strong ties to the past socially and religiously, yet the younger age group is responding to the exposure of the modern Western world. The standard of living has improved for the common worker in recent years. Prices for Western goods have remained reasonable. An important development in recent years has been the rise of a middle class in Macau. Society is heavily influenced by Animism, idolatry and superstition. A major problem in Macau is the gambling industry. Most of the eight million tourists to Macau come for gambling related activities. The government receives from 25 to 40% of the revenue from the casinos. In 1996 over two billion dollars were generated through gambling related activities. This develops a dependency by the government and does not create a climate for strengthening families and society. With the rise of the middle class comes the openness for new ideas and values. This creates a tension with the "obey your elders" mentality and ancestral worship. Another factor of rapid change is the urbanization of Macau. It is no longer just a sleepy seaport but becoming a growing country with the coming of many people from the north. http://macaunews.net/. http://www.lib.virginia.edu/ssdcbin/worldbin/world1c.cgi?SET=cntry&GEO=mac. Languages There are three prominent languages of Macau. They are Chinese, Yue (Cantonese, Yueh, Yue), Macanese (Macau Creole Portuguese, Macaense), and Portuguese are spoken in Macau. 498,000 speak the Yue, which is almost 100% of the population. They have the Bible 1894-1981, NT 1877, in press (1996), Bible portions 1862-1903. 2,000 people speak Portuguese as their first language and another 11,500 speak it as a second language. They have the Bible 1751, in press (1993). NT 1681- 1982, Bible portions 1505-1951. There are very few speakers of Macanese in Macau with about 4,000 living in Hong Kong. http://www.ethnologue.com. Urbanization: Locate on three islands; the country is 97% urban. Literacy: The literacy rate is 90% of the people age 15 and above can read (93% male, 86% female). 4 Religion: Interestingly, Macau was the beginning point for Protestant missionaries to China. Now about 1% of the population is Protestants. In the 1600 approximately 95% of the population was Roman Catholic, now the percentage is 5%. 13% of Macau is Buddhist, 19% Chinese religions and 60% are non-religious. Of this group, about 1% is made up of Hindus, Muslims and others. History Macau possesses a long history of being a territory of China. Archaeological evidence exists of Chinese culture present in Macau dating back 4,000 to 6,000 years. In the early centuries the territory of Macau was under the control of many districts depending on the ruling dynasty. Wangxia (Mongha) is the oldest continuous community on the islands dating (1279-1386 A.D.). It is also the location of the temple dedicated to the Buddhist Guanyin (Goddess of Mercy), which is the oldest temple in the region. Merchant ships have used Macau as a trading point since the fifth century A.D., as a site for fresh water, food and refuge. The first Portuguese sailed into the harbor in 1513 and claimed the island for the king of Portugal. With the arrival of Portuguese ships in 1517 and 1518, the Chinese demonstrated their disapproval by evicting them from the island in 1521. It was not until 1553 that Portugal established a permanent trading post on the island. Macau became an established Portuguese community in 1557. The Portuguese considered the location as an ideal trading post in Asia and began the colony with two primary objectives. The first was to use Macau as the hub to develop trading with China, Japan, and the other Asian countries. The second objective was to establish Roman Catholicism throughout the region. The main motivators of the church efforts were the Jesuit priests. Portugal achieved limited success in these goals. Several reasons are given: size of the task, resistance of China (both for economic and religious issues), and the aggressive actions of other nations in the region (especially Great Britain). The height of the success of the colony was in the early seventeenth century, after which it stagnated and never really recovered. While other countries used force to assure their trading privileges, Portugal negotiated trade treaties. the beginning China received a yearly rent payment for the colony. However in the 1840's Portugal decided to cease the payments and expelled the remaining Chinese government officials. In 1845 Portugal declared Macau to be a free port. In 1887, China acknowledged the inevitable and recognized Portugal's control over Macau. By the end of the nineteenth century Macau experienced a major decline as a trading center in Asia. Several factors contributed to the downfall: heaving silting of the harbor and the rise of Hong Kong as a major port and trade center. With the decline of status as a major trade center came the increase of smuggling, gambling, and gang activity. In 1949 the population exploded with refuges from Communist China. Portuguese control remained for one hundred years when in 1987 Portugal and China signed a treaty to return Macau to China in 1999. Since that time Macau has been a special administrative region (SAR) of China. This arrangement allows Macau to have separate political, judicial and social systems from the rest of China. However, China names the chief political executive of Macau. http://www.macaumuseum.gov.mo/maineng.htm. http://www.danek.net/mysite/macau/. 5 People Groups Chinese, Yue (370,000/ 46,305,000) This is the most predominate people group. They are also referred to as Macau Chinese or Cantonese. Estimates of the number of people range from 498,000 by Ethnologue (SIL) to 370,000 by Joshua Project II (JPII). Approximately 3% are Christian with a very small number of evangelicals. They have a completed Bible in their heart language ((1894), the Jesus film, Christian Radio broadcasts and audio recordings of the Gospel. The Cantonese are very industrious and adept and trade and investment industries. They are known for their unique opera and folk art. Han Chinese (12,000/ 1,042,482,187) Are the second largest group (23,000 (JPII) to 12,000 (Operation World (OW)) and they are mostly composed of refugees from Mynanmar (Burma). Their primary language is Burmese. Barrett lists this group as Han, however in the JPII these numbers match up with the Han, Min Nan. If it is the Min Nan referred to here, they have the Bible (1933), the Jesus film, Gospel recordings and Christian radio broadcasting. Han Chinese, Mandarin (11,000/ 701,116, 436) They are the third largest people group with 11,000 (JPII). The Mandarin language is the most widely spoken language in the world. Over 780 million Chinese use this as their heart language. They have the Bible (1874), Jesus film, Gospel recordings and Christian radio broadcasting. Macanese (7,500/ 7,500) Macao Creole Portuguese, another name for the language of the Macanese and is the next largest people group with 7,500 (SIL/JPII). There are very few who use this language outside some of the older women. Filipino The Filipino population is 3,000 (OW). However there is no designation of which people group. It is more a national designation. A possible people group could be the Filipino-Chinese Mestizos, but there is no definite designation. A survey is needed. Macau, Portuguese (2,000/ 10,000,000) The Portuguese population in Macau is approximately 2,000 (JPII) in number. They are predominately Roman Catholic. They have the Bible (1751), Jesus film, Gospel recordings and Christian radio broadcasting. Javanese Approximately 600 (JPII) in number, but no definite people group is designated. This designation is more nationality than a specific people group. A survey is needed Thai (1,500/ 23,000,000) Small group of workers make up the population of about 1,500 (OW) British Business and expatriates constitute about 1,700 (JPII) people. 6 USA White The number about 656 (JPII) of business and expatriates.[Johnstone says 4000 westerners **Lisa might this include all Westeners, not just Americans? – you make the call - Dave] Han Chinese, Dan This group is sometimes referred to as Boat people. There are no population figures given for this group in Macau. The nature of their life style contributes to the difficulty in getting an accurate population count. They describe themselves as the Soisangyan – "water-borne people." They speak the Yuehai dialect of Cantonese. The life of the Dan revolves around their close association with water. Their customs and religion both reflect this close association. History of Christianity Macao was the starting point for Protestant mission in China but has the dubious distinction of being the first Christian territory in Asia to become non-Christian. In 1600 almost 95 % of the people in Macao were Catholic. By 2000 the percentage had shrunk to 5.18 %. The Catholics have declined dramatically in recent years and the Protestants have always been small. Non- Christian Religions The majority of people are Chinese Folk Religionists (45%). This is a mixture of animism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Non-religionist (22.5%) makes up the second largest category and is growing. Buddhist (16%) is the third largest non-Christian religion in Macau. The communist influence is seen in the number of atheists (3.5%) in Macau that can also be reflected in the high number of non-religionists. There are also very small numbers of Muslim and Baha'is. Christianity Catholics comprise 8% of the population, which reflects a steady decline. Protestants represent only .3% and Anglican .1% of the population. A total of around 7.1 % of the people affiliate with any group claiming to be Christian. Roman Catholic Church Ministry began in 1557 when the permanent settlement was established. Fourteen years later, Macau became a diocese in 1576. Francis Xavier, the first secretary of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), died on Macau in an attempt to bring Christianity to China in 1552. Matteo Ricci, the 16th Century pioneer Catholic missionary to China, studied in Macau before being allowed to enter China in 1583. There are many churches in Macau, many historic. http://www.hoteltravel.com/hongkong/macau/guides/sightseeing,htm. Protestants Robert Morrison, the first protestant missionary to China (1807) representing the London Missionary Society, lived at times in Macau as he continued to translate the Bible in to Chinese. 7 Morrison is buried in Macau. Although the evangelical churches remain small, the numbers of congregations increased between 1990 and 2000 when these churches nearly doubled. Baptist affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention is the largest protestant body of believers. Missionaries were passing through Macau in the 1800's on the way to China. The Macau Baptist Church was founded in 1910. However in almost one hundred years they have only approximately five hundred members and two thousand affiliated. The missionaries have an active ministry with the many restaurant workers in the city. The Anglican Church of Hong Kong and Macau was established in 1940. They have two small congregations with a membership of about 100 and two hundred affiliated. Following World War II several denominations began work in Macau. The Seven Day Adventists has two small congregations (200 members, 500 affiliated) and began in 1949. The Lutheran Church (Missouri Synod) began mission work in 1952 and has two churches with a membership of one hundred and affiliated five hundred. In 1954 the Assembly of God and Evangelical Zion Church began their ministries in Macau. The Assemblies have one congregation of three hundred members and six hundred affiliated. The Zion church has three small congregations with sixty members and two hundred and thirty affiliated. They also are support and orphanage. There is also Free Methodists, a holiness church, of fifty members and two hundred affiliated. Campus Crusade for Christ International (46 workers) and YWAM (Youth With A Mission) (9 workers) are active in Macau. http://www.missionmacau.org/links.html. Missiological Implications 1. The Christian movement should relate to the churches and the Christian movement in Macao with every possible means at cooperative ministry. Churches from other countries should seek to aid the churches in Macao in their ministries and development. 2. Ministry and evangelistic outreach to the many workers in the gambling, hotel, and restaurant industries is an important area of ministry for Christians and churches. 3. Outreach to the many unreached groups in Macao such as the 12000 refugees from Myanmar who have only one church among them and the many workers from mainland China 4 Support for believers and their families facing persecution and pressure from society is essential. There is the pressure of conforming to ancestral worship, communism ,and living in a society that is economically dominated by gambling, organized crime, corruption, and other moral issues associated with this lifestyle. 8 5. Need to develop indigenous leaders and provide training for them. Theological Education by Extension would be an excellent approach for the current political situation. 6 The development of a clear, positive, redemptive, contextual Christian apologetic to address the issues of gambling, Buddhism, animism, and the associated idolatry and worldview is needed. 7 In a country of uncertainty of what the future holds, the message of hope in Christ needs to be shown and shared clearly and with conviction. http://www.missionmacau.org/prayer2.html.

"I ordered the Invites, Response cards and these Enclosure cards and these were by far the best deal. We used them as directions to the venue. They let me have text on both sides of the enclosure card for no extra cost && the customer service representatives helped me to tactfully include our registry information on this card. Definitely worth the extra money to get enclosure cards"
"I used this card as an invitation to the rehearsal dinner that was taking place at the same venue (Bed and Breakfast) where the guest would be staying over for either the rehearsal dinner and wedding or just coming in for the wedding. This was a subtle invitation that did not take away from the wedding invitation but was a beautiful complement!"
"We ordered our wedding invitations and information cards in personalised lilac colour on a pearl paper. We got free samples to help us make the best decision and visualise our invitations better than we ever could have from a computer screen. The designers were happy to make minor changes to our suit our tastes, at no extra charge. Delivery was quick, and the final product exactly as we expected. If only every part of wedding planning was this easy and stress-free!"
"These enclosure cards look beautiful and are great quality. They went perfectly with the Starry Blooms wedding invitations that I ordered."
"I needed a card that could guide my guests to the reception from the church because they would need to go down private streets and this card was perfect to slide in with the invitations."
