Have a favorite piece of Art in Grand Rapids’ Art Prize? Not sure how to cast a vote? You’re in luck, there’s a variety of options this year! Check it out:
How to vote
You decide who wins ArtPrize®. We think that’s pretty exciting.
Week 1 – All ArtistsVoters can vote up or vote down on any artist (only one vote per artist).
Week 2 – The Top 10Voters have ONE vote (no down votes) to cast for one of the Top 10.What’s an “up” vote?
This is your basic “thumbs up” vote. The artists who receive the most up votes will advance into the Top 10.
What’s a “down” vote?
Down votes are used to help you track which pieces are generating the most discussion or controversy. A down vote does not negate an up vote. Down votes will only affect who enters the Top 10 if two artists are tied for up votes.

I was attempting to install the Google Sitemap Generator on my new 2008R2 server to match the configuration of some 2008 machines I was migrating away from. Unfortunately, I got an error saying that a piece of software in the installation failed to install, and error 1603 is stored in the application event log.
In this case, I set the compatibility mode to “previous versions of windows” and reinstalled. The software installed fine.
On MacBooks, it is default (and unchangeable) behavior for the laptop to Sleep when the lid is closed. This is because of the way Apple has engineered the MacBook line’s cooling and ventilation system. They are simply not meant to run with the lid closed. Doing so risks damaging your LCD and other internal components. That said, use this utility at your own risk. I know I am. :)
Since InsomniaX and Caffeine weren’t working for me to prevent Sleep when I closed the lid on my 2011 Air, I tried InsomniaT – and it works.
If Outlook 2010 is not storing your autocomplete address whenever you close and reopen Outlook, follow these steps:
·Close Outlook
·Navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook and rename or delete the RoamCache folder
·Click Start, Run and enter: outlook.exe \cleanautocompletecache
·Close Outlook
·Open the Control Panel and select the Mail option
·Click Show Profiles and confirm what your Outlook profile’s name is
·Navigate to %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook and rename the .NK2 file to match your profile
·Click Start, Run again and run: outlook.exe /importnk2
This will rebuild your Suggested Contacts in Outlook 2010 and the autocomplete should continue to work after you close and reopen Outlook.
If you’re stuck at level 5 in Warhamer 40k: Space Marines, don’t forget to redeem the unlock code found on the inside manual that came inside the game’s case.
Here’s how to do it:
It looks like the venerable DumpsterAlwaysOn registry hack for Outlook is no longer needed in newer versions!
Simply customize the cleanup toolbar for any folder which doesn’t already have the “Recover Deleted Items” option, and make a new group with that command in it.
The following powershell functions can be loaded and then called like this “UploadToLibrary $filename $siteURL $listname”
This script was hacked out of the “FCI SharePoint Upload Powershell script” available on TechNet. I removed the portions responsible for modifying source files, migrating file properties, etc so I could use these functions to easily upload files from PowerShell.
Enjoy!
