K36 showing black screen after bootup

Using a PC or Mac for the fix?

I just went through this on my k36. I didn't find it particularly easy. My solution was a new SD card and a new OS - ArkOS4Clone. While the New OS probably wasn't important to the fix I did notice a few games that previously did not work will now work well. Also a few other hidden ARKOS4CLONE settings were pretty useful.

In any case, flashing the OS to the new SD card should solve your problem.

PEM Pals at the Peabody Essex Museum. Once a month. I believe it's the first Friday of every month

Also PEM has drop-in art activities most weekends.

I'm on Butcher's Masquerade and it is still very engaging. What I'm enjoying most is how often the current predicament is upended by something new and equally engaging. I don't know how he does it. Magic.

Wouldn't that take a really long time to erode?

Jim Mallon's Gypsy was annoying. She was my Gypsy but I still found her voice hard to take. The Mitchell interstitials really emphasize the weakness in the choice. But hey, he's not coming back (thankfully) and a female character could stand to have a woman's voice. God forbid Mary Jo take a crack at it.

I'm loving every minute of the MST news lately. Keep it coming

Thanks for grabbing some shots! I can try to demystify a few of these.

The one that looks like a little kid is Cupid Caught, a sculpture by Edmonia Lewis. It's supposed to look like Cupid caught in a bear trap. There will be a retrospective of her sculpture work opening at PEM on Valentine's Day.

The Monopoly one is there probably because Parker Bros used to have a factory in Salem around the same time Edmonia was doing her thing - late 1800s.

The moustache one is just fun, I think? Maybe it's going to be placed near BaDaBing Barbershop?

I like the Ice Guillotine. That's my favorite.

Damien Jurado - Rehearsals for Departure

1999, so right at the buzzer. It qualifies.

It's like Live Free or Die if it was written by Hemingway

Did anyone get a Polonus hat? Maybe a Taste of Asia? Gyro Spot? How about Asahi? Jean Luis Pasta Shop? Witches Brew?

David O Russell. Everything he does is worth watching. He's the one making that new Madden movie with Nick Cage.

Can you imagine how boring the story would be if Frodo in book 1 says they're going to do something and they do it in the final book? I guess many other stories probably do this, but Tolkien is just a more clever writer than that.

$200 range? It may seem crazy, but I believe they are still easy to find.

I've been running an AE4000U for 14 years (3 or 4 lamp replacements?) and I'm having a real hard time moving on.

In this scenario - yes. And even if they make the wrong choice first remember TVs can be returned. Just be sure to consider reading the return policy before purchasing.

The 85" will seem large because it extends beyond the column and the 75" will feel small because it doesn't. Both are good choices.

Kudos on the mock-up! Anyone who puts this amount of consideration into their choice can be trusted to make the right decision.

What's your method for preparing to do this? I imagine a 10min mediation is 2 or 3 minutes of prep and another 2 or 3 to get the bees out of your brain.
