  • D.J. Lizard's Dial-A-Fix: How to fix Windows Installer's Death

    Friday, Jan 29, 2010 4:13AM / Members only

    I had to deal with being unable to install, upgrade or uninstall software this month because Windows' Installer decided to fail. I tried all of Microsoft's self-fix options from the XP web site I could do to no avail. But then I asked for tech support from Microsoft China's Kane Yu about an automatic update failing, and he helped me find some freeware that fixes this problems and others for free. So just in case you even have Microsoft Windows Installer fail for you, I am including a VERY helpful link to D.J.Lizard's Dial-A-Fix: 


  • Transitions (for her) Can Be Harder than Expected

    Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 4:27AM / Members only


    A Chinese spouse moving to America has some huge transitions to make. They need to speak a language other than the one they usually use, they have no friends, and they do not know how to get things they are used to buying. How can you help?

    I have found that a local Chinese Church is extremely helpful. Even if she is not a Christian, she will be welcomed and taught about the faith. We found one and my wife has made some great lifetime friends, and through talking to them in her native tongue, she decided to be Baptized.

    So whether you, or your wife are Christians, or even if not, our experience is that you will be welcomed, whether you are seeking or not, and you will have found a fount of information so vast and strong that it will help your secular needs, as well as any spiritual needs needing to be quenched. We have gotten great advice on Chinese-speaking doctors, stores with the special foods that a Chinese person may want, and great recipe exchanges, among other things.

    So much so that my wife wanted me to blog about this for anyone looking to bring their Chinese spouse abroad.


  • Christianity in China Before 635 A.D.?

    Monday, Jan 25, 2010 11:02PM / Members only



    According to XinHua News Agency and China Daily, and corroborated by Christianity In China, Christianity may have actually reached China as early as 86 A.D., 550 years before Bishop Alopen brought Christianity to China. 

  • Perfect Outsiders, Legion, and DCU

    Sunday, Jan 24, 2010 6:56AM / Members only


    So in my dream teams of the DCU, I did not list the Outsiders or Legion of Superheroes. I did not because they are not so much generational teams. I guess the Legion could be called one, but definitely not the Outsiders. But, here are my dream team lineups for those teams, anyway:

    The Outsiders have 4 originals and 3 newer short-term additions from various runs of the title, and 2 more I think just works well:
    1. Geo-Force - Always leading the team.
    2. Black Lightning - One of the first great black superheroes.
    3. Aura - The compassionate force the team needs.
    4. Metamorpho - Was dead and is back again somehow.
    5. Azrael - Just makes sense as a Batman replacement.
    6. Aquaman - Truly an outsider on land.
    7. Eradicator - Was once a great addition to this team.
    8. Creeper - Again, just makes sense, the original "outsider" hero.
    9. Connor Hawke - The outsider Green Arrow (I love Arsenal as an Outsider, but he is on my Team Titans.)
    The Legion must be many, but this would be my core, again another team with half females. My preferred take would be a combination of the SW6 Legionnaires and the Threeboot Legion, but taking things from all versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes over the years:
    1. Cosmic Boy - The leader.
    2. Saturn Girl - The soul.
    3. Live Wire - The loose canon.
    4. Umbra - The dark one.
    5. Triad - The administrator.
    6. Superboy - The history of the DCU, the inspiration for the Legion, & the clone.
    7. Shrinking Violet - The quiet power who I loved as with the powers of LeViAthon.
    8. Catspaw - The crazy, fun one.
    9. Brainiac 5 - The brains.
    10. Apparition - The secret spy.
    11. Chameleon - The changing innocent.
    12. Gossamer - The spark, then the light.
    13. Ferro - The iron man from the past.
    14. Polar Boy - The redeemed substitute ice man.
    But really, if I had this much editorial power, I would just start the DCU over. Maybe keep the original numbering on Adventure, Action, Detective, etc. comics, but otherwise start everything over with a new universe. Have the previous runs end however  the writers wanted it, explaining that all the crises were just one big Crisis that was being experienced differently in different times.

    Then on the launch, launch every title with an 80-Page Giant Special (Maybe a #0 issue?) where the writer tells the origin of the superhero, super-heroine, or team. (Because if you cannot tell the origin and powers of a hero in 80-pages, you have a much too convoluted hero!)

    So my JSA would be operating in 1940 as a team of mostly 20-somethings. The JSA as novices is a new spin on what becomes the greatest team of mystery men and women.

    But the current era teams would have their 80-Page Giant Special and then jump ahead 10 years for the #1 of the ongoing series. This way, favorite stories that have been told in the past could be accepted in to continuity canon, and possibly even retold. The heroes would be established, and this would allow the Titans to be 20-somethings with their new names and costumes, with YJA to be teens (and for characters like Steel, the Eradicator, and Superboy to exist!).

    My 25 comic publication line-up would be like this, with many comics that are 1 character on one side of the book, and if you flip the book over, it is another comic book. 21 pages for each character, making a 42 page comic.
    1. Spectre/Dr. Fate
    2. Hawkman/Atom
    3. Action Comics
    4. Adventure Comics (Starring Superboy and a backup character such as Red Tornado)
    5. Whiz Comics (Starring Captain Marvel and Bulletman & Bulletgirl in backups)
    6. Sensational Comics (Starring BoP and a backup character such as Supergirl)
    7. Detective Comics
    8. Batman
    9. Superman
    10. JSA (With the traditional storytelling of the 1940's where they break up into sub-teams to meet the various crises and reunite at the end)
    11. JLA
    12. Flash Comics (The 80-Page Giant Special would tell the origin of Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, & Bart Allen)
    13. Green Lantern (The 80-Page Giant Special would tell Alan Scott's origin on one side, and Hal Jordan's and the Corps' on the other side)
    14. Outsiders
    15. Legion of Super-Heroes
    16. Titans
    17. YJA
    18. Wonder Woman
    19. Robin/Batgirl
    20. Captain Atom/Firestorm
    21. Green Arrow/Black Canary
    22. Booster Gold/Blue Beetle
    23. All-Star Comics (Starring Amazing Man, Power Girl, Tarantula, and other 1940's heroes in solo adventures)
    24. World's Finest Comics (Not just Superman/Batman team-ups, but Superboy/Robin, Supergirl/Batgirl, Nightwing/Eradicator, Azrael/Steel, Huntress/Power Girl, etc.)
    25. Green Lantern Corps
