Q: If you are shopping for a generator, get one that will supply the amount of power you will need. Labels and other information provided by the manufacturer should help you determine this. You can also ask an electrician for assistance. If you connect devices that use more power than the generator can produce, you run the risk of damaging either the generator or the devices. If you have a relatively small furnace and city water, you can probably power most household appliances with between 3000 and 5000 watts. If your home has a larger furnace and/or a well pump, you can expect to probably need a generator that produces 5000 to 65000 watts. Some manufacturers have a wattage calculator to help you determine your needs. Generators approved by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM) have undergone rigorous inspections and safety tests, and can be trusted. Portable generators can produce deadly fumes and carbon monoxide. When these become trapped in enclosed or partially-ventilated spaces, they can build up and cause illness and even death. Enclosed spaces can include not only rooms inside your house, but also a garage, basement, crawl space, etc. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, so even if you don't see or smell any fumes, you may be in danger if you use the portable generator indoors. If you feel dizzy, sick, or weak when using a generator, get away immediately and seek fresh air. Keep your generator at least 20 feet away from any open windows or doors, as fumes can enter your home through these. You can install portable, battery-operated carbon monoxide detectors in your home. These work much like a smoke or fire alarm, and are a good idea to have at any time, but especially when you are using a generator. Inspect these regularly to make sure they are working and have fresh batteries. Generators produce electricity, and electricity and water make a potentially deadly combination. Set your generator on a dry, level surface. Keeping it under a canopy or other covered area can protect it from moisture, but the area must be open on all sides and well-ventilated. Never touch a generator with wet hands. This is an extremely dangerous process known as "backfeeding," since it runs power back into the grid. It can harm you, electrical workers trying to repair a system during an outage, and your home. If you want to have backup power connected directly to your home, you must have a licensed electrician install a power transfer switch and a stationary generator. Use only approved fuel containers, and store the fuel according to the manufacturer's instructions. Usually, this means in a cool, dry place, away from your home, flammable material, and other fuel sources.
A: Buy the right generator. Never use a portable generator indoors. Never operate a generator in rainy or wet conditions. Never plug a portable generator directly into a wall outlet. Store the generator's fuel properly.

Q: You can find acrylic paint online or at your local paint or craft store. If you plan on painting more figurines in the future, buy acrylic paints specifically designed for miniatures so you have a high-quality assortment of paints on hand. The basecoat will be the first layer of paints on your figure. Choose the colors that will make up the major parts of your figure, like the skin, clothes, and hair. Don't worry about any small details yet. For example, if the figure you're painting is supposed to have a red body and a blue mask, you would want to use red and blue paint for the base coating. Add a drop of the paint you want to use first to a palette or plastic plate. Use a plastic bottle with a dropper cap to add a drop of water to the paint. Mix the paint and water together with a brush. Don't skip this step! If you don't thin your paint with water, you'll end up painting over all of your Warhammer figure's small details! If you don't have a plastic bottle with a dropper cap, dip a clean brush in water and drop water onto the paint with the tip of the brush. Start with the most prevalent color and then move on to any other colors after that. Try to be as precise as possible so you don't have to go back over the base colors later on. For example, if your figure has a blue body with a brown cape, paint the figures body blue first, leaving the cape blank. Then, once you've finished painting the body with blue paint, fill the cape in with brown paint. It's OK to cover up detailed areas -- eyes, lips, accessories, etc -- with the basecoat colors. You'll be able to paint over them later once the basecoat dries. After 30 minutes, touch the figure with your finger. If it's still wet to the touch, let the figure continue to dry. Don't paint over wet paint or the colors will blend together.
A: Use acrylic paints on your figures. Select the paint colors you want to basecoat your figure with. Thin the paint with water. Apply the basecoat to your figure with a small brush. Let the basecoat dry for 30 minutes.

Q: See the first step in the previous section for instructions on opening this menu. Your active plan will have the selection button highlighted. This will open a smaller Power Options window. This will allow you to change your Sleep settings. There are three basic sleep options you can choose from: Sleep, Hibernate, and Hybrid Sleep. The one you choose will depend on your power and resuming needs. Sleep - Sleep mode stores all of your open programs in the computer's RAM and then enters a low-power mode. You can quickly resume your computer within a few seconds. If you're using a laptop, this will still drain your battery, though much slower than if the computer was use. Hibernate - All of your open programs are stored to the hard disk and then the computer is completely shut down. This will draw zero power, as opposed to Sleep mode which has a small power draw. You'll still be able to resume your week like Sleep mode, but starting up will take a few seconds longer. Hybrid Sleep - This is a combination of Sleep and Hibernate, and is designed for desktop computers that are always plugged in. The open programs and documents are stored to both the memroy6 and the hard disk, and then the computer is put into a low-power state. In the case of a power outage or interruption, you can still resume because the data was stored on the hard disk. This will let you set how long your computer will idle before it switches to Hibernate. If you don't see the "Hibernate after" option, click the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" link at the top of the window. You may be prompted for the administrator password. Consider using Hybrid Sleep if you have a desktop instead of Hibernate. Your desktop will reboot faster, but it will take slightly more power than Hibernate. You can enable Hybrid Sleep by expanding the "Allow hybrid sleep" option. These two will conflict with each other, so expand "Sleep after" and set it to "Never" if you enabled Hibernate in the previous step. Apply to save your changes. After your computer has been inactive for the time you specified, your computer will perform the Sleep or Hibernate action you set.
A: Open the Power Options menu. Click the "Change plan settings" link next to your active plan. Click the "Change advanced power settings" link. Expand the "Sleep" option. Understand the difference between the options. Expand the "Hibernate after" option and set a time. Set "Sleep after" to "Never" if you enable "Hibernate". Click .

Q: For example, if you want your computer's main hard drive defragmented, then highlight "(C:)." It's near the bottom of the Window. Your computer will analyze the disk drive to determine whether defragmenting the drive is recommended. The defrag process can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours to complete depending on the state of your disk drive. It's above the list of hard drives. " Choose the frequency at which you would like Windows to automatically defragment your hard drive. Your computer is now set to automatically defragment your hard drives on a schedule.
A:
Click the Start menu and select All Programs. Click the Accessories menu and select System Tools. Click Disk Defragmenter. Highlight the disk drive you to defragment. Click Analyze Disk. Click Defragment disk if your computer instructs you to defragment. Click Configure schedule when Disk Defragmenter finishes. Place a check mark next to "Run on a schedule. Set a defragment schedule and click OK. Select your hard drive and click OK.
