Roll this solid paella burner out, hook it up to a standard propane bottle, and you are ready to cook a paella, as easy as that! All you need to do is start cooking (attaches to a normal U.S. propane tank.)
This two ring burner from Valencia creates an even, well distributed heat source so there are no 'hot spots' on your paella pan. This size is best with pans from 13 to 22 inches in diameter. This burner is made of metal parts with heat resistant paint mounted on two hard plastic wheels. It is durable enough for many years of use.
The burner has two concentric rings. The outer one is 16" and the inner one is 8.5". Each ring is perforated with many small openings for the flames thereby creating an even ring of fire - an effect that you cannot achieve on an ordinary gas stove.
You will receive your burner with a propane hose and regulator designed specifically for the United States. The whole burner is assembled easily with nothing more than a set of pliers - 10 minutes tops.
Once that is done, all you need to do is hitch it up to your propane canister. This versatile burner is made in Spain. When you are not using it to cook paella, it is great for tailgate grilling or boiling pots outside for corn and other summer treats.
(Regulator is included)

Is what you're smelling bad for your health?
Study: Fragranced products emit harmful chemicals not on the label
Published: Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 10:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 10:44 a.m.
Popular scented products - including those claiming to be "green" - emit chemicals not listed on the label, including some considered toxic and possibly carcinogenic, a study says.
Each of the 25 tested products emitted at least one chemical classified as toxic or hazardous under federal law and 11 gave off at least one listed as a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency, according to the study published online this week in the journal Environmental Impact Assessment Review.
"This is a big untold story," says lead author Anne Steinemann, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Washington. She says her study is the first to look at fragranced products.
The products emitted a total of 133 chemicals, about 17 each. But only ethanol was listed on labels. Manufacturers are not required to list ingredients in fragrances; a pending Senate bill would require it.
Half of the products tested made claims about being "green, organic or natural," but "they emitted just as many toxic chemicals," Steinemann says.
The study analyzed top-selling air fresheners, laundry products including detergents, personal-care products such as soaps and cleaning products. It does not disclose the brand names. "We don't want to give people the impression that if we reported on product 'A' and they buy product 'B,' they're safe," says Steinemann, who led a team from the University of Washington-Seattle and Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio. "The whole class is problematic."
The researchers placed a sample of each product in a closed glass container at room temperature and tested the air for volatile organic compounds. Because product formulations are proprietary, they couldn't determine whether a chemical came from the product base, the added fragrance, or both.
The most common chemical was citrus-scented limonene, which Steinemann says can mix with air to create formaldehyde. Also emitted from at least half were three chemicals classified as toxic: pine-smelling alpha-pinene; ethanol; and acetone, a solvent in nail polish remover.
"Yes, it's low-level exposure, but low levels add up," she says, adding the EPA sets no safe limit for many of the chemicals detected.
The International Fragrance Association North America says that the report "unnecessarily alarms the public with insinuations of danger." It says most materials can be toxic in high concentrations.
The study does not discuss health effects, but two national surveys last year by Steinemann found 20 percent of people reported health problems from air fresheners; 10 percent from laundry products. Complaints were twice as common in people with asthma.
She suggest consumers clean with vinegar and baking soda, open windows for ventilation and use unscented products.

For the folks who don't have the time or the technical knowledge to change over to the Post Thumbnail support built into WordPress, WordThumb (a secure fork & rewrite of TimThumb) should make tightening up your sites a bit easier. [via]
Category: General (Page 2 of 8)
So I've started running into some folks who have been getting comment moderation emails from their WordPress installs that look like this:
From: WordPress <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: May 12, 2011 16:20
Subject: [WordPress] Please moderate: "Hello World!"
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
A new comment on the post "Hello World!" is waiting for your approval
Author : (IP: , )
E-mail :
Whois : http://whois.arin.net/rest/ip/
Approve it: http://example.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=approve&c=0
Trash it: http://example.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=trash&c=0
Spam it: http://example.com/wp-admin/comment.php?action=spam&c=0
Currently 0 comments are waiting for approval. Please visit the moderation panel: http://example.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?comment_status=moderated
Now I didn't go and redact any information there — the emails are totally void of any comment data outside of the moderation links. That's not right at all.
So why does this happen? The answer is actually really simple. Almost embarrassingly so.
To put it as plainly as possible, when comment moderation emails start showing up as blank, the wp_comments table has gone missing. If you look at some of your more popular posts or your comments panel, you'll notice that everything is missing.
It's almost like your mom doesn't even read your blog.
Sometimes the table has completely disappeared, sometimes it's just in need of a repair — but either way, you need to restore it to working order to make your comments happy again. And since hosts vary, I'm not going into the grizzly details of running that restore. I'm sure there's plenty of nerds on the internet who'd be happy to help tho.
Addendum: I'd like to hope that you're backing up your install and database regularly. And if you're not, maybe your hosting company is. Any worthwhile host will. But you should never ever depend on a single point of failure. I like to keep around 3 to 5, but I'm sort of paranoid.
Remember, there's never such a thing as too many backups!
Good luck!
After a year of running this domain under nginx with XCache, I've decided to roll things back over to Apache for the time being.
While nginx has been great when it came to system resources, I've never been able to get it to play nicely with Super Cache. I mean, things were caching just fine — but expired stuff hung around forever. And while I like my tweets, photos and Pinboard links from a few days ago, I'd rather show my visitors fresh content.
Besides, I've seriously been itching to use mod_pagespeed and PHP 5.3 on my personal site. And since neither of those things are available under the DreamHost install of nginx, my hand was forced.
But not all hope is lost! Being the huge nerd that I am, I'll probably switch back to nginx once PHP-FPM support gets added into the DreamHost PHP 5.3 install.
Earlier this morning I confirmed the domain transfers for something that I spent almost six years of my life on. A site that I both obsessed over and neglected terribly.
As of 8 AM, Preshrunk is somebody else's baby. Saying that is a real punch in the (emotional) dick, but at least I know it's in good hands now.
I'm not going to use this post to talk about why I sold the site. That's already been covered in enough detail. All I really want to say is that I'm happy it went to a good home.
Oh, I'm also happy that I can pay off a respectable chunk of our wedding loan — but that's only because the interest rate is embarrassingly high.
Hopefully I'll have a little more time to post here now. Considering my track record tho, I wouldn't hold my breath for that…
In the little bit of spare time I've had over the past week, I've been helping Sarah set up a new site. It's called Something Bold — and it's totally awesome!
Now I'm not just saying that because Sarah's my wife and I'm trying to be a supportive husband. I actually love the shit out of the blog because she's being unflinching about the realities of doing a wedding on a limited budget without making it look cheap. And since she's basing the first week or two of posts on how we pulled our wedding off for under $12,000, I'm interested to watch her postmortem unfold.
So check it out, add it to your feed reader, follow it on Twitter and like it on Facebook — especially if you're planning on getting hitched any time soon. You'll be glad you did!
I posted this above my desk today to serve as a sort of simple reminder.
I'm not quite sure what it'll encourage me to do (outside of perhaps using more Futura) but I'm sure it'll get the creative juices flowing a bit more.
An (apparently) unnecessary reinstall of Ubuntu 9.10 allowed me to clean up my netbook a bit. Fortunately, the fresh install was a snap. All I had to do was copy the few files I wanted to keep into my Dropbox, wait for it to update and reinstall from my USB keychain drive with impunity.
While it's still no OS X — sorry Linux nerds — I'm really enjoying the interface refinements and bits of polish. I can't wait to see what improvements 10.04 will bring.
P.S. The totally awesome wallpaper is from kozyndan. If you like it, go downolad it.
Thanks to the release of (Nerd)Press, I've switched up the site's theme a little bit. And while the jumbo header and splash of Colourise will be sorely missed, I've gotta say that I'm really enjoying its super minimal replacement. Not only does it elegantly tuck comments out of sight — without disabling them completely, I might add — but it also manages to use a liberal amount of Helvetica.
Well, so long as you're running an OS that installs Helvetica by default, that is. Otherwise it defaults to (gag) Arial. Still, sans-serifs FTW!
So feel free to kick the tires a bit. And let me know if you notice anything weird.
I consulted VW's RoutanBabymaker3000, and it seems to think that we'd have great looking kids. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself:
Now I know you've got a thing for quirky bearded dudes. Well, you might. For all I know, that was just a phase. Hopefully it wasn't tho — because I'm way into college educated actresses with published research papers who aren't afraid to shave their heads for a role.
Anyhow, now that you know what our offspring would look like, you should drop me an email. We don't have to make babies right away, but maybe we can go record shopping or talk about Israel. You know, just getting to know one another. That would be nice, wouldn't it?
Okay, it'd probably be nicer for me than it would be for you. But I swear that I'm a nice guy and not really that weird. I mean, I might be weird enough to run your photo thru a website, but I'll never send you a sweater made of my hair or anything. That's just bizarre…

New "Spider-Man" spins a predictable web
For the most part, this new film is how Spider-Man should have been done in the first place. The film is energized and emotive. On the other hand, it's also far from groundbreaking.
A cook's thoughts on food and more
Cooking has always been enjoyable. But I am growing very worried over many aspects of the food we eat.
"The Dark Knight Rises" above expectations
Many will doubt this film's ability to trump the success and artistic integrity of 2008's The Dark Knight (generally considered to be the "Godfather" of superhero films).
Seeking solutions to a violent society
Americans are left pondering why and wondering what if anything can be done to stop it and also, 'how did this occur, and what caused it?'
Hollywood hokum conquers all
The films bridged the gap between completely unbelievable and utter nonsense, but they did it with admirable verve and commitment.

Water for the world
It is essential for life but one in nine people around the world don't have access to clean water. Secours Catholique (Caritas France) has developed a "wikiwater", an interactive guide which offers ideas to improve access to water and sanitation for fragile communities. The wikiwater was created by Secours Catholique's Patrick Flicoteaux who worked with volunteers and experts over the course of three years. It gives simple and practical information and tips on such activities as how to build a well and how to purify water, among many other suggestions. To visit the wikiwater click here. In the meantime, here are some things you may not know about water: More than 4 million people still die each year worldwide due to unsafe water and 885 million do not have access to drinking water.

Caritas together from all over Italy
By Ferruccio Ferrante, communications officer with Caritas Italy "Wherever you go, you'll find Caritas" was the name of Caritas Italy's conference which looked at issues surrounding migrants, young people, families, people facing life alone and those suffering from addictions. Over 600 people from 161 diocesan Caritas brought with them their own experiences of working with Caritas in Italy and went away having shared and gained greater knowledge and hope. In this time of difficulty when the crisis increases its grip, Caritas is by people's side all over Italy. In the first six months of 2012, requests for help from Caritas increased by 44.5% compared to the previous year. Caritas finds itself with a great responsibility: how to continue to accompany people in their difficulties. It's a responsibility that can't be passed over to someone else because each of us must be a champion of change for the common good. But how can we [...]

Vaughan, who had been in charge at the organising committee since early last year, "stepped down" by "mutual consent", according to a statement from organisers England Rugby 2015.
Jevans, who was formerly general secretary of the International Tennis Federation, will take up her new role in November after she has wrapped up her work at the ongoing London Paralympics.
"I have spent the last decade planning and delivering the world's two largest sporting events," she said. "This has been an extraordinary journey and I am looking forward to putting my experience and expertise in to delivering an exceptional Rugby World Cup in 2015."
With just three years to go until the tournament begins, the first major tasks for Jevans will be to select the venues, formulate the match schedule and develop the ticketing programme.
The appointment of Jevans was also welcomed by the International Rugby Board, which owns the rights to rugby's showpiece event through Rugby World Cup Limited.
"The successful delivery of one of the world's largest sporting events is founded on a clear vision, partnership, teamwork and strong leadership," IRB and RWCL chief Bernard Lapasset said in a statement.
"As a driving force behind the exceptional London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Debbie certainly possesses all the necessary attributes to drive the delivery of what promises to be a special tournament."

Linen-cotton sidewalk skirt
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 46 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie Great skirt that can be dressed up or down! I wore this for my engagement photos at the farm where my horse is, I ordered the navy and the light turquoise. I wasn't sure if the light turquoise would be too see through- so I got the navy as a back-up (it wasn't see through at all btw, completely opaque). I am 5'4, and have pretty long legs, it fell a couple inches shy of my knee. It's just a great skirt to have in your closet, an effortless put together look. I wore it with a tucked in white button down (Sleeveless Infinity), but I would wear it with a tank or tshirt as well. It does have a ruffle around the top which makes it super comfortable, but it's a tuck-in kind of skirt, definitely, or you'll have a big lump around your waist. I also paired it with the skinny braided belt and it was super cute. June 16, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janelle Shrinks in Wash... Size Up Because it is a cotton/linen blend, it does shrink in the wash, so I would recommend buying one size larger than you normally wear, even if you are petite. Also, when I walk it bunches up near the top. This might be due to the fact that I haven't undone the stitching that opens up the pockets. They come sewn shut and I'm afraid I'll ruin the skirt if I do it wrong. The fabric is nice an sturdy. Overall, I like the style, I just have to figure out how it will work best on me. April 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Debra Darker in Person I love these skirts. I own at least four of them I was dying for a pretty turquoise one, but in person, this isn't as bright as it appears here. It also felt thicker than some of the other ones I have. It's great skirt, but the color wasn't what I had hoped. May 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by XYZKC perfect skirt for me I absolutely love this skirt for the following reasons: 1) It is super comfortable! The lining is cotton, which I love. I hate those synthetic linings, which to me, ruins any dress or skirt, because they are uncomfortable 2) It is the right length. I am 5 feet, the 00 size is just above my knees 3) The elastic waist is comfortable and versatile 4) It has pockets!! 5) The A line is flattering. July 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorkingMom Great Skirt It works for casual, business casual and business. Very comfortable. I own three of them in various colors and two different sizes. You can purchase a little smaller then your size if they do not have your actual size. I am an 8 and purchased two 8s which fit perfectly. I was also able to purchase a 6 in the taupe since they did not have an 8. Surprisingly, the 6 works well too. June 14, 2015

I kept moving ahead, submitted 57 pages by fedex as requested. Found out 2 months later, Wamu "lost" the docs. Refreshed and resubmitted the paperwork. File was never opened and the "reviewer" quit the company. SO, then I started working through a Chase Home Loan Counselor, and completed another 84 pages (since I have my own business, have to provide all paperwork for personal and corporation). Was told to save up, make no payments, while entering foreclosure status. Called each week as promised. On the day before house was to be sold at Auction, received approval for the Making Home Affordable Trial Plan. Wamu/Chase sent me the official docs. Said that three months of Western Union payments - possibly four -- and I would get my permanent loan docs. Company improved, things seemed to finally be heading in the right direction. I made each payment on time, called Chase with my "Control number" which they document. The fourth payment was the same process. When on the phone, I asked the gal on the line if she could determine when my loan papers would be done, since it had now been four months. I would keep paying each month like this, but hoped to make it permanent. She looked, and sounded excited when you said, Oh, you were approved for a permanent loan - escrow opened on October 31st! I asked when the docs may show up, she said within about two weeks. Today, Friday, 11/13, I called in to Chase to see if they have a Fedex tracking number for me. At 10:15 AM was told that no, actually, my loan was denied. I was in shock. Tried to get an explanation, was told that A) My home was not valuable enough (loan with Wamu/Chase was for $720K, and it appraises for higher than that). I asked if they had appraised the home - was told they did a "drive by in the general neighborhood at some point to get an idea what homes are worth." I explained that that was not accurate. Then I was told that 2) my arrears from early in 2009 now added up to exceed the amount that the Mod program allowed. I explained that those were interest only increments that were part of the problem that was to be addressed in the modification. Then she said 3) Well, the advances made on my behalf under the modification to pay in for homeowner's insurance and property taxes were $19,000 and that then disqualified me from qualifying. Bear in mind that when Chase made those payments - I had already paid up my insurance and was not due for property tax payment. SO, I received a refund of my payment on the insurance. But, now Chase counts their payment as part of the total that disqualifies me!
There is worse: When I called Chase this morning, found that I have been denied the modification I was also told that my house could sell this month. I asked for a phone number of the organization that would be selling my home. With that, I left a message at the Cal Reconveyance company, to find out what is happening - I had NO NOTICE OF ANY SALE TO COME. No call back yet. So distressed, confused. Then later called back to Chase to try and figure out what was happening. At 2:05 PM, Heather told me my house was up for sale on Tuesday (yes, this Tuesday - today is Friday).
I can't believe my house sells on Tuesday morning, and it is Friday at 2:05 PM that I am told this! This can't be right, in any way. Surely some organization is protecting consumers who qualify for loan modifcations, who follow all of the procedures, who pay promptly under their trial plan!? Shouldn't I have received some sort of notice??
I then called the Attorney General office in CA, left a message. Next, called my representative, Ken Calvert, for our District, filled in a form and faxed to Riverside per a gals instructions. Then, went to their recommended Cal attorney bar site, and called the referral service for an attorney to call me back. Await that call. IN the meantime, some paralegals I know told me that I have to get paperwork in first thing Monday at the courthouse, yet I have no attorney as yet calling me back (left messages with four that were recommended. How can this be happening? I was told I had my permanent docs coming, and instead, my house is quietly, secretly sold? The very week I was to receive my final paperwork?!?!
I will try the legal aid society on Monday morning, and hope they can squeeze me in and can do something to allow me to think this through. Isn't there anybody working on this terrible, secret, ugly stealing of our homes? I can pay for my home, have every month since August, I just can't pay the lump sum arrears from the shortfall in my business revenues early this year. I am surviving. I will survive. I will fight -- if not for me, then for others who played by the rules, and were suckered by Chase! THIS CAN NOT BE RIGHT!!!!

Smoking ban a no go in Fair HavenJuly 23,2013By Lucia Suarez
FAIR HAVEN — A 2-2 vote by the Select Board stymied an effort to ban smoking within the fenced area of the park.
With Selectwoman Claire Stanley absent, the remaining four members of the board could not muster the three votes needed to approve an amendment to the town's park ordinance to ban smoking.
Selectmen Jeff Sheldon and Robert Richards voted in favor of the ban, while board Chairman Christopher Cole and Selectman David Ward voted against it.
The amendment to the park ordinance — seemingly a compromise by the Select Board — would have banned smoking from within the marble-fenced area of the park, designating all other areas including the bus stop, the parking lot and where the cannon sits as smoking areas.
Before voting Richards, who was the most adamant in his support for the ban, called other members "spineless" for questioning the need for the ban and letting a handful of complaints against it sway their vote so easily.
He said smoking is a danger to people's health and for that reason it should be passed, adding it was not a smoker's right to endanger his health. He said he did not want to have to chose where to sit while at the park because of people smoking.
"I have not had to ask them to move and I don't want to have to," Richards said.
He went on to say that he fully expects people to be courteous about smoking, but the amendment will say on paper that they can't.
"I don't think you will have to enforce it most of the time, but if you do (have to), you will some teeth," Richards said.
Cole said he does not believe the town needs it. Ward said he spoke with several people — 22 in total — who were both in favor or against the ban.
"You can't enforce it," he said. "I would have been in favor of it if it was for special events."
Sheldon questioned how it would be enforced — "I don't see a police officer going in there and citing someone for smoking," he said — though ultimately he cast his vote in favor of the ban.

SS Rajamouli Ropes In Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu For His Next
Ace director SS Rajamouli had earlier expressed his willingness to work with Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Superstar Mahesh Babu on several occasion. The latest buzz in the Telugu film industry is that the filmmaker, who is currently busy shooting for his magnum opus Baahubali, has approached these two leading Telugu actors for his forthcoming movie, which will be simultaneously released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and English.
Sources close to SS Rajamouli claim that the director has already prepared an interesting script for his next movie, which is going to be his second period drama. He has developed the lead characters of this film keeping the image of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu in his mind. He is said to have already narrated the story of the historical flick to both the actors, who are impressed with his script.
Since it will be released in four languages, the makers are planning to rope in Bollywood actresses for this project. SS Rajamouli is said to be considering the names of popular actresses like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone for the female lead roles in the film. The director is yet to approach them with the offer. AR Rahman has been roped in to compose music for it. Continue to read more about this film in the slideshow.

Great idea and I was very excited when I first tried it but since then Ive not managed to get it working on any other site - only 1 out of 4 so far.
Problems range from getting lots of php warnings to the scan not working and probably the most frustrating from a useability point of view - the scan button not being "available" - just shows a checkbox.
Why build in a system that requires jquery to even submit the button - not very user friendly?
This is exactly the kind of plugin I would actually pay for and its a great idea and when it works it provides excellent data ... Hopefully it continues to get better!

President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security will have a newly strengthened IT team to back him up at his new job. And he might need it more than some.
Jeh Johnson has limited experience with the nuts and bolts of managing a technology bureaucracy, unlike some of the other rumored candidates for the position: retired Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Thad Allen, former DHS Deputy Secretary Jane Holl Lute, or DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Rand Beers, who had been undersecretary of the agency's National Protection and Programs Directorate.
Johnson's most recent federal posting was overseeing the Defense Department's staff of 10,000 lawyers. A challenging job, to be sure, but not nearly at the scale of DHS, where the secretary must deal with the sprawling technical and everyday management needs of a department with 22 disparate components and more than 200,000 employees.
On policy issues, Johnson's time at the Pentagon could prove very useful -- as one tech industry official in Washington noted, "He sat at the table with the president on cybersecurity issues, where he was presumably exposed to key issues." But for the deeper dive into the arcane world of DHS technology, Johnson will need some help.
Luckily, the White House has been moving in recent months to get the new secretary the support he will need to manage DHS' myriad IT and cybersecurity operations.
Only days after Johnson's nomination was unveiled, DHS named Luke McCormack, the Justice Department's deputy assistant attorney general for information resources management and CIO, as the next CIO at DHS. That job had been filled on an acting basis since the spring departure of Richard Spires.
And Phyllis Schneck, former vice president and chief technology officer for the global public sector at McAfee, was confirmed as deputy undersecretary of cybersecurity in the National Protection and Programs Directorate in August. She stepped into the position after Mark Weatherford and Bruce McConnell left in quick succession for the private sector.
Johnson -- assuming he is confirmed -- and the incoming tech team will have plenty on their plates.
DHS faces external technical challenges such as developing critical infrastructure protection systems and implementing border and airport security technologies, as well as internal challenges that require intricate IT know-how and management capabilities.
Among the department's projects are plans to connect databases containing information on legal foreign visitors to be used as a prototype for a larger system that would consolidate identity information from agency sources and erase the lines between the databases kept by DHS component agencies.
Officials also want to implement a cloud makeover for the enterprise talent management system as one of its first shared-services models under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. In July, the department rolled out an Einstein 3 automated intrusion-detection system, the latest iteration of a continuous monitoring program designed to protect government agencies from malicious cyber activities.

As a rule, and for some recreation, I like to mess with them, lead them on, etc. I never officially gave them my home address, but it must of been attached when I replied via my gmail account. Several days later, I received a real overnight FedEx envelope, with a very real-looking check for 2750.00.
There was no explanation for the check, but given how authentic it looked, the name of the bank, etc. I (foolishly) believed it was some prize I had won for entering a drawing, contest, or completing a survey.
Looking over some old scam emails I realized the FedEx envelope shared the same tracking number as described in one of the messages. Luckily, I was never about to send money to these guys, but was very disappointed when I realized the check was sent from one of the people I had been corresponding with.
Please be careful folks, I had no idea how "pro" these guys could be, or that they would be willing to pay for an expensive FedEx overnight letter. Any reasonable person would have believed the check was legit.

Bayern Munich beat Juventus 2-0 for a second time to reach the Champions League semi-finals and stay on course for the treble.
After a nervy start, the newly-crowned Bundesliga champions slowly but surely took control of the away leg, keeping Juve's chances at a premium and gradually sapping their spirit.
Mario Mandzukic headed home the loose ball on 64 minutes after Javi Martinez had been denied by Gianluigi Buffon. It was the goal which all but ended any hope Antonio Conte's troops had of staging a dramatic comeback.
And with the tie effectively over, the Bavarians played with freedom in the closing stages and added another through Claudio Pizarro's neat stoppage-time finish.
Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes, no doubt haunted by memories of the last-16 second-leg against Arsenal, had underscored the importance that his side avoid conceding for at least the first 20 minutes.
But it took them 10 to settle into the game, and they were fortunate that Juve were unable to capitalise more on their opening exchanges, full of loose passes and sloppy fouls.
That said, Mandzukic was awfully unfortunate to be booked by Carlos Velasco Carballo after six minutes when it was Giorgio Chiellini who had made contact with the striker, and the Croatian is now set to miss the semi-final first-leg.
Andrea Pirlo had the first big chance on the night, opting for power over his usual technique for a free-kick on the edge of the box. His on-target drive on 23 minutes forced a good parry from Manuel Neuer.
Six minutes before the break, it was Buffon's turn to have his palms stung as David Alaba unleashed a wicked drive from Arjen Robben's out-swinging corner.
Fabio Quagliarella exemplified the home side's determined start to the second half by finding the outside of the post with a decent effort on 49.
But it would be their last serious chance to get on terms in the quarter-final, and the impressive Robben hit the woodwork himself eight minutes later at the other end as the visitors broke with a numerical advantage.
When Chiellini was actually penalised for bringing down Mandzukic, Schweinsteiger's free-kick from the right was well met by Martinez, and though his volley was kept out by Buffon, the Croatian made certain that his side would contest the semi-finals.
Thomas Mueller should have made it 2-0 on the night moments later while Mirko Vucinic's poor first touch wasted a neat dummy by both Paul Pogba and substitute Alessandro Matri.
But Juventus were losing their belief in a comeback by the minute, and with the contest already settled Bayern made it four over two legs at the death.
Schweinsteiger fed replacement striker Pizarro with a simple short ball down the middle and the Peruvian's finish across Buffon was a fitting finish to a great week for last year's Champions League runners-up.
Arjen Robben, Bayern Munich - Energetic performance which kept Juventus too busy to attack at times, and along with fellow wide man Franck Ribery helped Bayern get through phases of sloppy passing and nervy defending.
JUVENTUS: Buffon 7; Barzagli 6, Bonucci 4, Chiellini 5; Padoin 7, Pogba 7, Pirlo 6, Marchisio 6, Asamoah 6; Vucinic 6, Quagliarella 7. Subs: Giaccherini 5, Matri 5, Isla 5.
BAYERN MUNICH: Neuer 7; Lahm 6, Dante 8, Van Buyten 6, Alaba 7; Schweinsteiger 8, Javi Martinez 8; Robben 8, Mueller 5, Ribery 7; Mandzukic 7. Subs: Boateng 7, Luiz Gustavo 6, Pizarro 6.

"He's only been stopped twice in his career and the last time was back in 1999 so he's not going to get stopped easily," said McGuigan.
"We have a plan in mind already. and we will probably get him out of there in the mid rounds."
McGuigan has been monitoring video footage of Cazares, who holds an orthodox stance but likes to switch southpaw. Since turning pro in 1997, he's mixed with a high class of opposition and has held world titles at flyweight and super fly. Cazares moved up to super bantamweight in 2012, and has since notched up four wins at the weight.
"We've just got to analyse his previous performances and work out a gameplan, which we've already sort of got," revealed McGuigan.
"Come fight night Carl will destroy him. It will be a tough fight but the difference will be pace, size and Carl's punching power. It will definitely be tricky for a few of rounds but once Carl even half hits him he's going to go into his shell and it will only be a matter of time before we take him out of there.
"Hugo's so experienced, so good at nullifying people's attacks and holding on to get those precious little seconds to survive. It will be an exciting fight but we've got to stay on his chest really."
In their London hideout, McGuigan and Frampton have been joined by new signing Conrad Cummings while Shane is busy identifying the right people needed to replicate the style of 'El Increible' Cazares.
"We're sparring a couple of guys at the moment including one guy who's only had one pro fight but he fought for Ghana in the Olympics and is very, very talented," he said.
"Cazares is smaller than Carl and our sparring partner resembles a better Hugo Cazares. We are getting most of our rounds from him but we will be getting in bigger guys because he can't keep taking the beatings day in and day out because he's a small man.
"We sparred eight rounds the other day and it's just about pulling the reigns back at the moment because the fight was originally going to be March 15 and then it got delayed to April 4. We will be ready to fight whenever."

I just upgraded to XBMC-SVN_2007-03-12_rev8103-T3CH and Kai engine upgraded itself when I started it. I can use the Kai ui on the computer to acess arenas and play, but I can't use the XBMC ui.
When I start Kai config without having the engine running, it says:
"An error occured opening the adapter microsoft tv/video connection. Kai will not use this adapter."
I don't really know what to do, since everything worked fine before I upgraded, maybe it's something with XBMC.
All help is appreciated, thanks for a great community!

I had to rename the formbuilder folder via ftp and then my site started working again.

So you've got outta-control gangs on the west end of your beat and a car-prowl series on the east? Try policing anti-vampire riots. You'll come away thankful to be working the graveyard shift in Buffalo.
In Malawi, police across the nation are stretched to the limit as the rumors fly that the government is working with vampires to suck blood (literally, like in slurping blood and then spitting it into vials) for profit and selling it on the world market through the United Nations. Attacks on suspected bloodsuckers are growing daily, including one man beaten to death and three Roman Catholic priests severely injured, all suspected of being government bloodsuckers. Hey, they've got vampires, we've got the IRS.
Rampaging Pigs
In Turkey, national police have been deployed to protect villages outside Istanbul from mobs of aggressive, marauding wild pigs. The Anatolian news agency reported a "swine invasion," after hundreds of feral pigs ran amok in the northeast part of the country. Scientists say the wild pigs have been driven into the cities and towns by fierce weather conditions and destruction of natural food sources. And, they advise, these pigs are big, fast, dangerous, and always raid in groups. They haven't mastered semiauto weapons yet, but they've got razor-sharp teeth, guys.
Big, Drunk, and Destructive
And we're not talking about your college frat buddies. The cops in northern India's province of Assam have a real problem with boozers, but at least they don't drive. Drunken elephants recently killed six people during a weekend binge in Tinsukia.
It's a phenomenon that has developed over the past 20 years. Elephants in the wild have always been known to make their own potent hooch by stomping ripe fruit and then letting it ferment for several days in the sun before swilling the goo and gettin' blasted. But over the last two decades, it seems the guys in gray suits have decided that cocktailing is a lot easier if you let those skinny little humans brew it up for you-and then just raid their vats.
In the past two years alone, more than 200 people have been killed when bands of elephants-mostly young males-have suddenly charged into villages, knocking down walls and even entire buildings to get at stored supplies of rice wine and "country liquor."
"The elephants, after consuming huge quantities of country-made liquor, went berserk, killing six people on the spot," a police spokesman reported. And they're armed with mostly old .38's and .410 shotguns...The police, that is, not the pachyderms. They don't need no stinkin' guns.
