Dryer sheets are remarkably versatile outside the laundry room. Give a used dryer sheet new purpose as a shower door cleaning cloth.

Real Simple offers this advice:

Don’t toss that used dryer sheet. Sprinkle it with a few drops of water, then use it to wipe away built-up soap residue on your shower doors. It works wonders on scummy surfaces.

Don’t forget you can also wipe mineral deposits away from the faucets and other fixtures in your bathroom.

Clean Soap Scum Off Shower Doors with a Dryer Sheet

Send to KindleHi there, today we will learn about an amazing tool that every single MySQL dba must know, I’m talking about MySQL Sandbox.
MySQL Sandbox is developed by Giuseppe Maxia (The Data Charmer), it’s a tool that make the installation of MySQL servers very easy. If you need to quickly create a MySQL instance for test or a replication setup(it supports master slave, circular and master master replication), this it the tool.
INSTALLATION:
Go to http://ift.tt/P4Mlki and get the latest version (I got from launchpad):
yum install perl perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-Test-Simple
wget http://ift.tt/1oaY0jQ
tar -zxvf MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.44.tar.gz
cd MySQL-Sandbox-3.0.44
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
CREATING A SINGLE SANDBOX:
To create a single sandbox, all you need is the mysql package that you want install and the make_sandbox command:
[root@localhost ~]# make_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz unpacking /root/mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz
Executing low_level_make_sandbox –basedir=/root/5.6.17 \
–sandbox_directory=msb_5_6_17 \
–install_version=5.6 \
–sandbox_port=5617 \
–no_ver_after_name \
–my_clause=log-error=msandbox.err
The MySQL Sandbox, version 3.0.44
(C) 2006-2013 Giuseppe Maxia
installing with the following parameters:
upper_directory = /root/sandboxes
sandbox_directory = msb_5_6_17
sandbox_port = 5617
check_port = no_check_port = datadir_from = script
install_version = 5.6
basedir = /root/5.6.17
tmpdir = my_file = operating_system_user = root
db_user = msandbox
remote_access = 127.%
bind_address = 127.0.0.1
ro_user = msandbox_ro
rw_user = msandbox_rw
repl_user = rsandbox
db_password = msandbox
repl_password = rsandbox
my_clause = log-error=msandbox.err
master = slaveof = high_performance = prompt_prefix = mysql
prompt_body = [\h] {\u} (\d) > force = no_ver_after_name = 1
verbose = load_grants = 1
no_load_grants = no_run = no_show = do you agree? ([Y],n) loading grants
.. sandbox server started
Your sandbox server was installed in $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_6_17
To use it you can call the use script inside the sandbox folder:
[root@localhost ~]# $HOME/sandboxes/msb_5_6_17/use

mysql [localhost] {msandbox} ((none)) > You can manage your sandbox by calling the start / stop / restart / status script inside the sandbox folder
CREATING A MASTER SLAVE REPLICATION:
To create a master slave replication topology (by default is set to 1 master and 2 slaves but it can be changed passing the –how_many_nodes parameter) we will use the make_replication_sandbox command:
[root@localhost ~]# make_replication_sandbox mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz installing and starting master
installing slave 1
installing slave 2
starting slave 1
…. sandbox server started
starting slave 2
.. sandbox server started
initializing slave 1
initializing slave 2
replication directory installed in $HOME/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17
To use it we can call the use script, for replication, the use script will be located inside the nodeN/Master folder:
[root@localhost ~]# #MASTER
[root@localhost ~]# /root/sandboxes/rsandbox_mysql-5_6_17/master/use Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

CREATING A MULTI MASTER REPLICATION:
To create a multi-master sandbox we will use the make_replication_sandbox with –master_master option:
[root@localhost ~]# make_replication_sandbox –master_master mysql-5.6.17-linux-glibc2.5-i686.tar.gz
installing node 1
installing node 2
# server: 1: # server: 2: # server: 1: # server: 2: Circular replication activated
group directory installed in $HOME/sandboxes/rcsandbox_mysql-5_6_17
That is it, you can find more information using the help parameter on make_multiple_custom_sandbox make_multiple_sandbox make_replication_sandbox make_sandbox make_sandbox_from_installed and make_sandbox_from_source

Here we have it, our first month with all the new entries to the WordPress theme stage being designed responsive. That was faster than we had estimated. But, we won’t complain. Bootstrap is also continuing to go strong, while minimal design still rules. Administering theme options from a backend options panel is becopming more and more common. Theming is getting easier by the minute. For another month we went out into the wild to search for the newest and coolest WordPress themes available. In the following article, we introduce you to our findings.

This Ten-Year Timelapse of the 9/11 Memorial Gives Us a Powerful Reminder

acidradio writes: "Somehow the SCCM application and image deployment server at Emory University in Atlanta accidentally started to repartition, reformat then install a new image of Windows 7 onto all university-managed computers. By the time this was discovered the SCCM server had managed to repartition and reformat itself. This was likely an accident. But what if it weren’t? Could this have shed light on a possibly huge vulnerability in large enterprise organizations that rely heavily on automated software deployment packages like SCCM?"

The CSS Animations Pocket Guide: Now More Free Than Ever

The MySQL developer tools team announces 6.1.6 as our GA release for
MySQL Workbench 6.1.
MySQL Workbench 6.1.6 is a maintenance release and contains over 30
fixes and minor enhancements made since the original GA release.
MySQL Workbench 6.1
Introducing over 30 new features, this version has many significant
enhancements focusing on real-time performance assessment and analysis
from the SQL statement level to server internals and file IO. You can
see this from additions to the SQL Editor as well as new dashboard
visualization and reporting that take advantage of MySQL Server 5.6
and 5.7 Performance Schema, and enhancements to the MySQL Explain Plans.
Additionally Workbench 6.1 is leveraging work from various teammates in
MySQL Engineering by introducing a schema called "SYS" that provides
simplified views on Performance Schema, Information Schema, and other
areas.
Special thanks to the server optimizer team, server runtime team, and Mark
Leith.  For Oracle DBAs MySQL SYS is similar to the V$ catalog views, and
MSSQL folks its like DMVs (Dynamic Management Views).
MySQL Workbench 6.1 includes:
Improved drag and drop support in the Home screen and SQL Editor
Visual Explain 2. The Visual Explain feature was revamped and is now
easier to read and interpret. You can also get the traditional tabular
explain output from within the same interface.
Performance Dashboard. A graphical representation of some key statistics
from the server status, gives you a bird’s eye view of the status of key
server subsystems.
For advanced users, Performance Schema Instrumentation. A GUI for
configuring the Performance Schema in detail, for advanced users.
Performance Schema based reporting. Gives insight into the operation
of the server through many high-level reports.
New query result view. Get more information about queries you execute,
such as information about the fields in your result set and key performance
statistics from your query (timing, index usage, number of rows scanned,
joins etc).
Form Editor for resultsets. In addition to the result grid, you can now
edit records row by row in a form style editor.
Table Inspector. Similar to the Schema Inspector, view detailed
information from tables. A streamlined interface for creating indexes is also included.
Support for the Windows accessibility API and Windows high contrast
color schemes. A new high contrast theme has been introduced.
And more.
More than 60 enhancement requests and bugs reported by users have also been
addressed, providing performance, usability and stability improvements
across the board.
