You don't have to look like you've stepped off the runway, but you should take pride in your appearance when you're planning to ask out a confident girl. That's because she likely makes an effort to look good, and will expect the same from a potential date. Take care of all basic grooming habits, so you appear clean and neat when you talk to her. You don't have to wear the most expensive, trendy clothes, but your outfit should be clean and fit well. A confident girl is usually going to want you to be confident as well, so you can't wait for her to talk to you. Show her that you have plenty of your own confidence by having the guts to walk up to her and start a conversation. If you're having trouble working up the confidence to approach a girl, try to do it in a situation where she's more likely to be receptive, such as at a party or bar. In most cases, she's more likely to be friendly when she's in a social setting. Remember to smile and maintain eye contact when you go to talk to her. If you keep your eyes down and fidget, she's going to know that you're nervous. Confident girls are direct themselves, so that's what they typically want in their partners. That means you shouldn't come up with some lame excuse for approaching her, such as pretending that you need directions or her advice on what to get your friend's girlfriend for her birthday. Instead, make it clear from the start that you're interested in her and want to make a connection. If you haven't been formally introduced, you might go up to her and say, "I saw you across the room and had to come over and introduce myself." If you already know each other, you can approach her and say, "I've been thinking about you ever since the last time we talked." You can also try offering up a compliment that makes your interest clear, such as "You know, your smile lights up the room," or "You're the most beautiful girl in the room, hands down." A confident girl is going to want to know that you're genuinely interested in her and who she is, so you shouldn't necessarily ask her out right after you approach her. Instead, start a conversation to get to know her better. Avoid simple yes or no questions that can slow down a chat. Open-ended questions are a better option because they give her an opportunity to really express herself. If she's in school, you might ask her what her favorite classes are and why. If she's a frequent traveler, you might ask her to recommend some can't-miss destinations. Pay attention to what she says, and use it to build off of to keep the conversation going. For example, if she mentions that she's a big football fan, you can tell her about the big game that you went to last weekend. Once you've gotten to know each other a little, it's time to ask for a date. Don't be vague -- asking "Would you maybe like to go out sometime?" isn't going to impress a confident girl. Instead, make a concrete offer, such as "Would you like to get together tomorrow night?" It's best not to make your first date something formal like dinner. Instead, go for something casual, such as grabbing a cup of coffee or a walk through a local park. That will keep things relaxed and low-key.

If it isn't enabled, enable it. This list will tell you the computer name of everyone connected to your network on DHCP (DHCP automatically configures a computer's IP and DNS settings. This only works if everyone connected uses DHCP. If someone connects and uses their own static address, then this will not show them.)

Make sure it is stable, and near the center of the block, if possible. Swinging a heavy maul at an unsteady block is extremely dangerous. A glancing blow could strike your leg, or send the wood flying off like a dangerous projectile. Set yourself up for success by placing the wood securely. Look for hairline cracks in the log. You should aim so that the blade of you the maul runs in the same direction as the crack. Different woods split in different ways, so plan accordingly. Oak splits somewhat easily through the center, even large-diameter portions. Maple, on the other hand, is split more easily toward the edges of the end-grain. Look for large knots or places where a limb was removed when the wood was cut and avoid them. These places will likely have very crooked, gnarly grain, which should be avoided if possible. You could spend all day hacking away at knots. Choose the location you want to split the log, stand with your maul resting on that location, and set your feet square. You might tap a little indentation into the wood so you'll have a good visual cue at which to guide the maul, if the grain isn't obvious from where you're placed. You don't really "swing" a maul, and you don't need to put the end behind your head at any point to split wood properly. Hold the maul firmly with your non-writing hand at the end of the handle, and cradle the maul with your dominant hand, just below the head of the maul. Flex your knees slightly, then lift the maul head straight up above your head, extending your arms straight. Slide your strong hand down until both of your hands are close, gripping the end of the handle, then bring your hands down and flick your wrists, letting gravity do much of the work for you. Splitting has much less to do with strength and more to do with using the correct technique. Swinging the maul wildly is both dangerous and exhausting. You may have to pull and twist it hard to remove it, if the bit is sunk deeply and stuck in the wood. Rock the axe bit up and down to work it out of the wood. Alternatively, you can treat the planted maul like a splitting wedge and hit the blunt metal end of the maul with a sledge. This is a popular and common technique for splitting logs. If you've placed the maul accurately, or it's quite stuck, don't waste energy pulling it out. Try to strike in exactly the same place as the first time, or along the length of any crack which appeared when you hit it. Split each block of wood into progressively smaller pieces, until they are the desired size. Normally, you will split the block in half, then each half will be split again, until the pieces are about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) at the largest cross section. Stack split wood so that air can circulate around it to allow it to season thoroughly before it is burned in a wood stove or fireplace. Cover it to prevent rain from repeatedly wetting it, which will cause it to rot, but do so in a manner which still allows good air circulation.
