Everyone's told scary stories around a campfire or at a slumber party. Scaring yourself and your friends so much with just a simple story is almost a right of passage for a middle schooler, but did you know many of those famous urban legends have also inspired some pretty terrifying horror films?
Scare yourself silly with these films that were inspired by some famous urban legends:
1. I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
Is based on: The legend of the hookman. One of the all-time favorite campfire stories is about the young couple in the car making out who hear a news bulletin about an escaped serial killer who has a hook for a hand. The couple quickly drive home and when they get out of the car they find the killer's hook hanging from the door handle.
How the film interpreted the legend: This urban legend was used as a jumping off point in I Know What You Did Last Summer. The main characters actually tell the tale in the film and it comes full circle as the killer in the film also uses a hook hand as a weapon.
2. When a Stranger Calls (1979 and 2006)
Is based on: The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. A classic urban legend which dates back to the 1960s. A teen girl is babysitting children and receives phone calls repeatedly telling her to "check the children." After ringing the police they trace the call to a second line in the house and the babysitter sees a man with a bloody ax, having killed the children and waiting for the babysitter to come upstairs.
How the film interpreted the legend: This legend has been turned into film several times but most famously in the When a Stranger Calls films. The original film follows the legend quite closely (including murdered children!) but then continues the story of the killer who later escapes from an asylum to continue stalking the babysitter, Jill Johnson. The 2006 remake more closely follows the urban legend, however the children survive and it is a housekeeper and friend who die.
3. Candyman (1992)
Is based on: The legend of the Candyman. If you look into a mirror and chant the name 'Candyman' five times, he will appear behind you and kill you with his hookhand. Some say it comes from a story of a slave named Candyman, who was murdered after his arm was cut off and then covered in honey and thrown into a beehive. Candyman died from his injuries, but before he did he cursed the men who killed him and vowed his revenge.
How the film interpreted the legend: The legend is used as both an urban legend AND a true story in this film. Student Helen Lyle is investigating urban legends and learns of the local legend, Candyman. She summons the Candyman and eventually he reveals himself and tells her his plan to prove that he's a real killer, not just the urban legend. By the end of the film Candyman is sealed in urban legend folklore forever.
4. The Exorcist (1973)
Is based on: The case of 'Roland Doe'. This is allegedly a true story which took place in the late 40s. Most of the information of his possession comes from a diary kept by the priest who attended his exorcisms. Apparently after his aunt's death the family noticed supernatural activity and Roland was thought to be possessed. Priests performed 30 exorcisms on the boy and afterward Roland Doe then went on to have a normal life.
How the film interpreted the legend: While a lot of the legend is used in the film, Roland was changed for Regan, a young girl, and instead of being possessed after the death of her aunt, she was possessed by an evil spirit hiding in an amulet. In the end, like Roland, the evil spirit leaves Regan, but along the way kills people and finally leaves Regan to inhabit the body of Damien Karras, who immediately kills himself to end the evil spirits reign.
5. Boogeyman (2005)
Is based on: The Boogeyman! I think most of our parents scared us with the terrifying threat that if we didn't behave the mythical boogeyman would get us. The boogeyman has no specific appearances and is fully open to interpretation. There are different versions of the boogeyman in cultures all over the world: Namahage in Japan, Butzemann in Germany and Sack Man in many Latin countries.
How the film interpreted the legend: The film presents the Boogeyman much the same as the urban legend does - an evil creature who lives in closets worldwide. After seeing his father taken by the boogeyman as a child the main character must confront his fear as an adult when the boogeyman starts harming people he loves. The film takes a bizarre twist with the wardrobe aspect (apparently they're portals through time and space?) but the premise of a boogeyman living in the closet is still pretty close to the boogeyman origin story.
6. The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
Is based on: The Mothman legend. The Mothman is a cryptid, or mythical creature, that people claimed to have seen in the 60s in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He's described as a winged man with glowing red eyes, who was sighted shortly before a bridge collapsed which killed 46 people. He is associated with ill omens.
How the film interpreted the legend: The film largely bases itself on the events in Point Pleasant surrounding the Mothman legend, and uses the bridge collapse as a climactic point. It also builds on the story and turns the Mothman into a supernatural entity named Indrid Cold who prophesizes morbid events which are relayed to the main character, John Klein through Gordon Smallwood, whom the Mothman is inhabiting.
7. Bunnyman (2011)
Is based on: The Bunny Man - an urban legend from the Washington DC, area. According to legend a deranged man in a bunny suit chases people with an ax. Police verify two incidents involving a man in a rabbit suit wielding an ax and talking about 'trespassers.' Despite the incidents, nothing ever came of these and it was never determined who the Bunny Man was, or even if it was the same man at both incidents.
How the film interpreted the legend: The film took the legend and made it even more gruesome! In the movie the Bunny Man is a brutal murderer. He stalks down a group of six friends in a car and kills most of the group but luckily the last two escape. At the end the Bunny Man is left wounded but not dead, leaving a bit of mystery as to his whereabouts- much like the original Bunny Man.
Which has the scariest urban legend origin?

Page 009 | سورة البقرة من الاية 58 الى 61
When there are 2 similar letters next to each other and the first is saakinah then you do idghaam. We see it on this page, adhrib-bi asaak. So the first word idhrib ends with a ba saakinah and the second ba has a harakah. So we pronounce it as one baa mushadadah...pressing the lips on the first baa and opening them on the second baa.
Later on the page we see qeela lahum. They are 2 similar letters but both have harakaat so we don't do idghaam because in this qiraah, the first one should be saakinah to do idghaam.
Later in the page we see asaw-wa. The first one ends with a waw saakinah and the second begins with a waw mutaharrik.
We said before that when the first letter is sakin and the second is mutaharik we do idgham, except if the first letter is a madd letter, but here the waw is sakinah and the letter before it has fatha so it is not a madd letter...so it is sakinah and the condition for idgham applies. We do idghaam. So we merge and put a shaddah. Asawwa.

Marketing Budget Allocation
Marketing Budget best practices varies with CMO. Marketers want to drive pipeline and gain leads simultaneously. Most of the marketers face the similar challenge to cut the noise, and implement solutions that drive real business results. Marketers are guessing and identifying the target audience as there is a ton of content.
However, as you scale and at larger spend levels, doubling search budgets often does not double lead volumes and results in limited return.
In marketing departments marketing budget planning is vital. Executives wonder how the marketing efforts are justified by increasing the content channels. It is most difficult and important to track successes, and gaps that content is tied to. Today, developing content which is relevant, attractive and consistent to potential buyers is biggest issue.
The Analysis of Marketing Budget is crucial to review the efforts of the resources in the marketing department. Every year the marketing fund is increased in marketing budget which increases the marketers responsibilities to increase revenue. Few marketers spend their funds in promotional events, webinars while few others spend their budget in ebooks, content blasts.

Rare Artefact to Auction at Dukes in Dorchester
3:29pm 4th February 2013
A Garden Trough which turned out to be a Rare Roman Coffin is going under the hammer in Dorchester.
Last year a similar sarcophagus was found in a Dorset garden and went for nearly £100,000.
The Roman artefact was found when a retired man from Northumberland read of the Dorset discovery and realised he had something similar on his lawn. After he emailed pictures to Duke's in Dorchester, specialist Guy Schwinge travelled to investigate.
Guy Schwinge said, "It is not often this sort of thing turns up and we are delighted that the publicity generated by our initial discovery has brought to light this exceptional example. I think buyers will be particularly excited because it is almost identical to another Roman sarcophagus in the Galleria Lapidaria in the Vatican."
He continued that, "It is quite exceptional for a piece of Roman Imperial Art of this importance to turn up unrecognised in a garden. Sadly, it is unlikely we will ever be able to prove the circumstances in which it left Rome in 1902, but it is reassuring to know that it left Italy over 100 years ago. It is also interesting that in the same year Henry Walters, the millionaire president of the Atlantic Coastline Railroad and founder of the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, USA, acquired the contents of the Palazzo Accoranboni in Rome. At that time he paid the unprecedented sum of $1,000,000 and the collection included no less than seven magnificent sarcophagi from a burial chamber associated with the Calpurnii Pisones family. It is interesting to speculate whether the sarcophagus we are selling could relate to Henry Walters' purchase."
The owners acquired the sarcophagus when they bought their house thirty years ago, but thought it was just a garden ornament. Detective work by the auctioneers has identified that it was probably bought to Northumberland in 1969, when the previous owners moved from Beckfort, a substantial country house near Brampton and Ullswater in the Lake District.
The artefact will be sold at Duke's in Dorchester on February the 14th.

Website Grader: Finding High Marks For Your Website
Website Grader was developed by HubSpot in order to provide a free tool for website owners to get an idea on how well their site is operating from and SEO (Search Engine Optimized) perspective. It looks for how well the site draws traffic, are there any SEO problems, and it looks for how well your site stands out in social media outlets. The tool is very simple to use; enter the website URL, click Generate Report and within just a few minutes, you receive a complete report that will help you to bump up the response of your pay per click programs, content management and other advertising programs. This is not a perfect picture of your site but it does offer a big picture understanding of what is going on with your site and its traffic. You can also use it your pay per click campaign management in order to see how well your site does against direct competitors.
Pay per click management software can not offer you the same thing that Website Grader offers you for free. The simple interface asks for your website URL, the URLs of competing websites (if you choose) and an email where the report can be sent. The total time required for analysis is usually less than 3 minutes. You are then directed to the results of the comparison and you get an email with a link to the final report, so you will have access to it at a later date. While it offers a lot of information concerning the SEO aspects of your site there is little offered when auditing click fraud or in the use of click fraud tools.
Website Grader offers information on a number of subjects. The first being how well the META tags on your homepage are seen and it offers suggestions for improvement. It then looks at the Heading tags to make sure they are able to be seen by the search engine spiders and are being taken seriously by search spiders and bots. Images are noted for loading time, labels and ALT tags. Grader looks interior pages looking for keyword relevancy and proper descriptions. It also measures appropriate readability scores for the material. Domain and PageRank statistics are noted as well as the number of pages that have been indexed by Google. The final report provides the last Google crawl date and you traffic rank as noted by Alexa. Inbound links are noted, as well as if your site is listed by DMOZ, Yahoo, and Zoom Info. Finally, Website Grader looks for blog relevancy, social media presence, lead conversion based on RSS feeds and it grades your keywords for estimated search volume.
The way to use this tool is to remember that it is an overall view of your site based on measurable criteria. Sites are graded on a 100 point scale and unless your score is below 80 you can be reasonably sure things are going well with your site. It should provide you with some insight that you may have overlooked while working with the details. Website Grader is highly recommended as a basic tool for making sure your SEO is up to standard, but remember, your final grade comes from actual human traffic and not spiders and bots. A well-trafficked site will gain much more than one that is optimized only for rankings.

Denzel Washington Tells Graduates: 'Put God First'
Carrie DedrickReligious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
- 2015 May 11
Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington spoke at Dillard University's commencement Saturday (May 9), leaving students with a message to keep God first in their lives.
"Number one: Put. God. First," Washington said, spacing out his words.
He continued, "Put God first in everything you do. Everything I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It's a gift."
The Blaze reports students cheered at the actor's faith inspired message.
Washington told the class of 2015 that 40 years ago, he was a student with a 1.7 grade point average when a woman at his mother's beauty parlor told him he would "travel the world and speak to millions of people."
It turned out that the woman was right but he needed God throughout his life.
"I didn't always stick with him, but he's always stuck with me. Stick with him in everything you do," Washington told the students.
The actor finished the 10-minute speech, saying, "Don't just aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference."

Many football fans outside Connecticut and/or Florida never heard about the Civil ConFLiCT. Those who did just for the first time probably laughed and scratched their heads.
A football rivalry between UConn and UCF was a major unknown and simply didn't exist until Huskies coach Bob Diaco thought it up and oversaw the construction of a trophy. Now, after two games – one win for each side – the ConFLiCT appears to be dead.
Think of the Hartford Whalers, their exodus from Connecticut and how so many try to keep their memory alive.
It hasn't brought the Whalers back to The Nutmeg State.
And now the Knights of UCF, after defeating UConn 24-16 in East Hartford Saturday, ignored the trophy sitting on the field and did not take it home to Orlando with them. When the trophy idea first developed in Diaco's intriguing mind, UCF wasn't told and wasn't asked to approve the concept. It popped up on Twitter, first generating dismay on the Internet and then triggering a chain of giggles all along the Atlantic coast – and yes, that includes the Atlantic Coast Conference.
But after UCF's coaches and players ignored the trophy Saturday, it was up to a UConn staffer to cover the trophy and leave it "shrouded" until it was trucked back to Storrs with the rest of the football equipment.
Talk about a lack of dignity. Diaco tried to explain his thinking Tuesday at his weekly press conference and joked that the trophy could be used for a coat rack.
Think Paul Bunyan's Axe or Floyd of Rosedale was ever treated that way?
Diaco spent 10 minutes on the rivalry Tuesday at a time when he should have been addressing the upcoming game against East Carolina. He said he was trying to "maintain my composure" but he wouldn't get a very good grade on that. Read Mike Anthony's story and view The Hartford Courant video here.
The tension surrounding the rivalry was first demonstrated during Diaco's weekly media conference last week. Asked about the renewal, Diaco answered in a tone that lacked passion.
"We're excited to play," Diaco replied.
A follow-up question came, inquiring if the trophy would reside on the sideline again. Diaco snapped a bit: "I've had enough of that conversation, externally, so I'm not going to get into all of that business."
Diaco wasn't asked about the trophy after the game. But it was pretty obvious the winning team hadn't given it a thought at any point. That's no surprise. UCF's First-year coach Scott Frost shouldn't have any desire to become involved.
"It was just another ballgame for us," UCF freshman quarterback McKenzie Milton told reporters. "We can't get too caught up in that."
Linebacker Errol Clarke said: "We just really care mostly about the win and trying to win the conference. That's all we care about."
The Civil ConFLiCT is still on Wikipedia's list of NCAA football rivalry games with a start date of 2014 and no end date. You will find it between The Keg of Nails between Cincinnati and Louisville (1929-2013) and the Platypus Trophy, given to the winner of the Oregon-Oregon State game.
Next year? The two teams will play, but it doesn't look good for the trophy. Order your commemorative T-shirt now. (Just kidding, of course.) But it seems something should be done to honor Diaco's creative genius.
Week belongs to SMU, Pruitt
SMU's 38-16 upset of No. 11 Houston Saturday brought unexpected attention to the Mustangs, the AAC and especially senior defensive end Jarvis Pruitt.
Not only did Pruitt receive the weekly Defensive Player of the Week from the AAC office, he also picked up the national recognition with the same title from The Walter Camp Football Foundation. That must have been especially gratifying for the Houston native who left home to play for the struggling Mustangs.
Pruitt had five tackles, three quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery. SMU's defense held the formally powerful Houston offense to a season-low 303 yards of total offense. The Mustangs recorded seven sacks in their shocking win.
SMU quarterback Ben Hicks, a freshman who is having a fine season, was named to the AAC weekly honor roll after completing 16 of 31 passes for 228 yards and three touchdowns against Houston.
"We were ready for the opportunity," SMU coach Chad Morris said. "We've been so close all year against some top opponents and just unable to finish. We've got a bunch of young guys who needed game-speed reps and needed to get more mature.
"We knew there were going to be mistakes . . . but we felt good about it. While this win might have shocked a lot of people across the country, it didn't shock our kids and didn't shock our staff. We knew it was just a matter of time before our preparation paid off."
Morris called Pruitt's awards "huge" and added that the entire defensive line played "exceptionally well." Morris said Hicks has "continued to grow up and get better."
SMU (3-4, 1-2) plays at Tulane this Saturday.
"This was a turning point for this program," said Morris, in his second season at SMU. "What we do with it moving forward is totally a response."
Time for AAC to put plans into action
Now that the Big 12 has decided not to expand and the AAC membership knows it will be together – at least for a while – commissioner Mike Aresco can be relieved. But he also knows this would be a good time for his league to become the aggressor.
There was tremendous stress on the entire conference. Now, however, Aresco knows he won't be losing Houston, Cincinnati, UConn, UCF or USF. But since the AAC got so much attention in the process, it has simply backed up the point he has been making for three or four years.
The AAC should be part of the football power structure. The AAC has what it takes to turn the Power 5 to the Power 6.
The American will release a strategic plan within the next month.
"It has got some real meat on it," Aresco told The Hartford Courant. "It's not just a series of bromides. It has got real goals and benchmarks.
"The first step in getting back to where the old Big East once was, in the BCS, the power constellation, is to convince the media and the public, competitively we belong there. Once that happens, there's a critical mass and you try to create a fait accompli, so the powers-that-be says those fellows belong."
Aresco has included that in many of his past speeches. Maybe outsiders will start to believe now. The league's current football deal with ESPN ends in 2019; its basketball contract extends through 2010.
"The trip to Dallas was a nightmare. . . . We have a bunch of pleasers and perfectionists on this team and I think I did not do a very good job of training them how to respond to adversity and respond to another team's best shot." – Houston coach Tom Herman, after losing to SMU.
"You get down there in the red zone and the game's on the line, it's like you are the pilot of the space shuttle and you're re-entering the atmosphere. It's a big deal. It's a much greater challenge than flying a propeller plane at 10,000 feet. That's the next step. Executing. Winning these games." – UConn coach Bob Diaco, after losing to UCF.
"So many guys made plays, that is what makes this a huge win for me and it obviously gives us some control. But that can change in a week, in the blink of an eye, so they better stay focused." – Temple coach Matt Rhule, after a 46-30 win over USF that give Temple (5-3, 3-1) control of the AAC East.

Some people love it, others hate it, but you can't ignore it. With its various permutations and combinations, mathematics dominates every sphere of our lives. But what if you could understand its basics in a fun, playful manner. An interactive exhibition titled Mathematics that you can touch, at Max Mueller Bhavan (MMB) enables you to do just that. The event, which started on July 23, aims to help adults and kids alike develop a new approach towards the subject.
Weber elaborates that anyone above the age of 12 can participate in this ongoing event. "All the experiments are thought provoking. It involves grasping with hand, head and heart. Visitors solve puzzles, build bridges, unravel riddles, and while doing so, get involved with mathematics in a playful manner."
When: Till August 3, 11 am –5 pm, Monday to Saturday

Clonal variation in depth distribution of Daphnia pulex in response to predator kairomones
Boeing, Wiebke J.; Ramcharan, Charles W.; Riessen, Howard P.
Archiv für Hydrobiologie Volume 166 Number 2 (2006), p. 241 - 260
published: Jul 5, 2006
ArtNo. ESP141016672006, Price: 29.00 €
In this laboratory study, we explored the variability of 47 Daphnia pulex clones in migration behavior to predator (Chaoborus and fish) kairomones in 1.6 m long tubes. The preferred mean vertical distribution in control water (no predator kairomone) is diverse among clones and responses to predator kairomone are highly variable. Some migration patterns were opposite to our expectations in clones exhibiting an upward migration in response to fish kairomone. A literature comparison indicated that this is not an unusual finding. In general, more clones responded to Chaoborus than to fish kairomone, stressing the importance of Chaoborus as a predator for Daphnia in nature. Dilution of Chaoborus kairomone led to a reduced upward migration by most Daphnia pulex clones tested and adult Daphnia exhibited a strongly reduced response to Chaoborus in comparison to juvenile Daphnia. This indicates that Daphnia may be able to respond to the actual predation threat.

Neotectonic and climatic impressions in the zone of Trans Himadri Fault (THF), Kumaun Tethys Himalaya, India: A case study from palaeolake deposits
Kotlia, Bahadur S.; Joshi, Lalit M.
Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, NF Volume 57 Issue 3 (2013), p. 289 - 303
published: Sep 1, 2013
ArtNo. ESP022005703002, Price: 29.00 €
Late Quaternary tectonic activity on a NW-SE trending fault within the Trans Himadri Fault (THF) zone in lower reaches of the Milam glacier (Indian Tethys Himalaya) resulted in development of a lake around 23 ka BP. The remnants of the ancient lake are preserved in form of a 25.6 m thick lacustrine profile, consisting of muds and sands. The palaeolake seems to have breached around 11 ka BP possibly due to revival of a further event of neotectonic activity. The geomorphic consequences of the tectonic movements in the fault zone are manifest in form of palaeo-landslide cones, unpaired terraces, fault facets, soaring waterfalls, deep gorges and slope failures etc. The soft sedimentary structures, e.g., micro-faulting and flame structures in the exposed profile also point to a possible reactivation of the THF in the Late Pleistocene. We present the first palynological results from otherwise a totally unexplored area in the eastern part of the Indian Tethys Himalaya. The preliminary results indicate that the area experienced cold desertic climatic conditions from ca. 22.9 to 15.7 ka BP covering a period of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and during which the sediment accumulation rate was also extremely slow. This phase was followed by deglaciation together with amelioration of climate between ca. 15.7 and 14.5 ka BP. A dry period from ca. 14.5 to 13.8 ka BP can be associated with the Older Dryas. The area underwent wetter/moist conditions from ca. 13.8 to 12.8 ka BP, followed by a century scale dry event (ca. 12.8 to 12.7 ka BP) which may be linked to the Younger Dryas episode.

Smart Vision Lights: Modular expandable linear light
7 Mar 2013
LX150 and LX300 linear lights utilise the unique direct-connect technology allowing the user to plug additional lights together and expand the lighting length in a simple manner. Only the first light module requires power connection, but eliminates the need for jumper cables to pass power through to the next. T-slots are integrated into the housing for easy mounting. Thus, users can create tailored length solutions in increments of 150 mm (LX 150) or 300 mm (LX300) to optimise the lights for their specific application requirements. In line scan applications with wide objects the cascading of the modules is a great advantage.
High luminosity
The LX series are equipped with internal drivers that eliminate the need for any external controllers. They can operate in continuous or strobe mode.
The LX linear lights feature NPN/PNP strobe trigger inputs, 0-10V remote analogue intensity control, and a manual potentiometer for simple intensity adjustments. The LX150 utilises 6, the LX300 utilises 12 high intensity LEDs in white, red, green, blue as well as IR?850, IR?940, UV?365 or UV?395 providing sufficient luminosity. The LEDs can be equipped with wide and narrow angle lenses or with line optics. Thus, the LX series offer a variety of options for ideal lighting depending on the working distance and object field.
Smart Vision Lights
Muskegon, United States
Smart Vision Lights (SVL) was founded in 2007 in West Michigan and quickly developed into a leading developer and manufacturer of highperformance LED illumination systems with integrated current drive and IP rating.

No matter what type of business you have, you can reap a lot of benefits by publishing a regular newsletter – whether you plan on sending it out daily, weekly, monthly, or any other interval. However, a lot of people are missing out on this valuable marketing tool because they feel they don't have the time and/or resources to devote to the task.
If you're one of these people, you may want to try publishing a curated newsletter instead. You don't need to write completely fresh content to give value to your subscribers. In fact, a well-done curated newsletter can often be even more valuable for your readers since it presents them with the latest news and tips from a variety of excellent sources.
Getting Subscribers To Read Your Newsletter
The goal with any newsletter, of course, is to make it interesting and valuable enough that people look forward to seeing it in their inbox and actually take the time to open and read it. Finding great content to share isn't always as easy as it sounds, though. So, Rock the Deadline Studios has incorporated a dashboard system to make this process as quick and easy as possible. Here's how it works:
1. Create a dashboard on any topic you like. For example, suppose you're a social media consultant who wants to share the latest tips and news from your industry. You can create a dashboard centered on these topics, and customize it to fit your particular audience by selecting the keywords you want to focus on and/or specific sites you wish to monitor.
2. Select items from your dashboard to curate for your newsletter. Quickly scan through all the top stories that meet the criteria you used to set up your dashboard, and pick the ones you want to curate for your newsletter. In addition to titles and summaries, you'll also be able to see social media share counts for each item so you can gauge each item's popularity.
3. Customize your content. If you like, you can add your own unique commentary and/or images for each item you've selected. Don't have time to do this during the initial selection stage? No worries! You can go back and edit an item at any time.
4. Grab the RSS feed URL and automate delivery. Each dashboard you create has a unique RSS feed associated with it. You can use this RSS feed to develop newsletters that are automatically generated and delivered each week through certain email service providers, such as MailChimp. For more details on how this works, check out the video below.
Note that this RSS feed works for more than just newsletters. You can also use it to embed curated content on your website, to feed your social media channels or in any other way RSS feeds are used.

Application of von Eckermann's concept that calcitic dikes occupy a higher level than melilitic and dolomitic dikes in the course of a carbonatite diatreme rising and undergoing changes in the crust indicates that the occurrence of melilite in dikes in the peripheral area of the Rangwa complex of western Kenya is evidence of a deeper facies than that represented in the vent. This could be explained by caldron subsidence, and such an explanation seems to be more satisfactory for all the features of the Rangwa type of ring complex. The Ruri complexes farther east have been reconsidered on this basis; updoming and subsidence may have occurred here also. Further field investigation is warranted.

Providing the evidence base to reduce harmful AOD use in
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
Date posted: 15 March 2017
The Northern Territory Health Minister, Natasha Fyles, released draft terms of reference for a comprehensive review of alcohol policy in the Top End. Minister Fyles said the Government was determined to tackle the cost of alcohol abuse on our community and the review will give all Territorians an opportunity to have their voices heard.
Since the new government was formed in the Territory, the Minister has:
The Minister said that an expert panel will be commissioned to look at alcohol policies and alcohol legislation, reporting to government on:
The Minister said 'Broad public consultation will be undertaken as part of the review, with multiple avenues for interested people, groups and communities to put forward their views. I look forward to hearing from not only the loudest and most powerful voices in our community, but also the many women, children, families and communities who all too often bear the cost of alcohol abuse in the Northern Territory.'
The review will start in April with a report and recommendations delivered to government in late September 2017. The government will then develop a response to the recommendations for the development of the Alcohol harm reduction strategy and legislative reform agenda.
These will be released publicly along with the Expert Advisory Panel's final report. To view the draft terms of references and for more information, see the links below.

A New Blog Post! Now With NSFW Video Links! And Extra Capital Letters!
One of the fun parts about nurturing a baby blog is tracking growth. It's pretty cool to see where the site's hits come from—Russia! Brazil! How cool is that?!?—and to watch the number of page views increase.
So far, the most page views any one blog has had is 37.
But because I'm basically 12 years old on the inside (and also a big fan of Kevin Smith and the movie "Clerks" *), I'm finding this inordinately funny today—hence the unscheduled mini-post.
(Seriously. I can't even type the number without giggling to myself.
Puerile much? Then again, I use words like "puerile" pretty regularly.
I'm a conundrum.)
Because my brain is always filled with tangentially relevant movie and/or song quotes, it's all I can do not to gleefully holler Dante's horribly crass parting salvo as Veronica storms out of the store as I'm writing this post.
Arrested Development—not just a brilliantly funny TV show, folks. I'm living proof.
* Again, language isn't safe for work, or those easily offended by sexual subject matter or crude language. If this describes you, don't click!

April 20–May 20
With Mercury turning retrograde in your sign this week, you may start to feel a bit tongue-tied and misunderstood. You could change your mind, and this is an appropriate time for reviewing personal matters. Think about the way you're perceived and whether or not it reflects the real you. Venus is moving into Taurus, boosting your sociability and charm. You'll feel more agreeable and attractive, and your ruling planet will help you to exude warmth. It's easier for you to draw in what you want in the coming month, so put yourself in situations where you can do so. A sun-Neptune connection also enables you to be yourself while still fitting in with people.
May 21–June 20
Your ruler, Mercury, goes retrograde in the last house of your chart this week, making you even more circumspect and putting you in closer touch with your subconscious. Pay attention to your dreams, as they can convey valuable messages. Meditation, journaling and reflecting on the past may be extra useful now. Venus is also slipping into that house, causing you to feel less social and more inclined to take care of others. You might choose to make a sacrifice for someone you love or finally let go of a relationship. This is a time for retreating from the world, seeking peace and quiet, keeping your own counsel and listening to your intuition.
June 21–July 22
As Mercury begins to backtrack in your network zone this week, the chances of misunderstandings with friends go up, but so do the chances of reconnecting with people you've lost touch with. Group gossip can be destructive, so try to ignore it. Give some thought to your friendships, your ties to various organizations and the team of support that you have around you. You might end up reconsidering a particular affiliation in the next few weeks. As Venus enters that house for a nearly month-long stay, socializing, professional networking and other group activities take on added appeal. Being around other people can inspire you and make you feel connected to something beyond yourself now.
July 23–August 22
Partnership and psychological insight can help you to shine this week, thanks to a sun-Neptune collaboration. But with Mercury going retrograde at the top of your chart, you may start to experience crossed wires with authority figures and difficulty planning your next move. This is a good time for rethinking a goal, considering your public image or professional status, reviewing your career path and researching your industry of choice. Exercise caution when speaking with your boss, though. Thankfully, Venus is crossing your ambition angle, enabling you to charm people who have power over you. You can exude friendliness and demonstrate a willingness to compromise while choosing your words carefully.
August 23–September 22
Mercury—your ruling planet—begins backpedaling in your expansion sector this week, complicating travel and education. If you have a trip scheduled, try to be patient with delays and detours. In the next few weeks, you might want to examine your beliefs, reread a book, review something you've studied previously, revisit a place you've been and revise your vision of the future. As Venus moves into the same house, the appeal of difference increases. Fresh, stimulating experiences and exposure to a variety of people, arts and cultures are apt to please you. Others can broaden your views now, and you might become attracted to someone who's unfamiliar to you.
September 23–October 22
With Venus arriving in your sharing sector this week, your desire for a deep connection grows. An existing relationship may intensify, or you could experience a strong sexual attraction. Closeness can have a healing effect, luring you to transmute something in your psyche. Mercury is going retrograde in that part of your chart, so the next few weeks are a good time to ponder issues concerning trust, intimacy, jealousy, loss, give-and-take, death, sexuality, insurance, taxes, loans and debts. You might figure out a secret, and researching something you'd looked into previously could produce a new finding. And a sun-Neptune collaboration encourages you to make the connection between psychological wellbeing and physical health.
October 23–November 21
Mercury turns retrograde in your one-on-one angle this week, calling for you to review your unspoken agreements with others; renegotiate the terms of a relationship (informally—don't sign any contracts!); contemplate your close connections and get back in touch with someone you care about. You're likelier than usual to misunderstand someone, so don't jump to conclusions. An interpersonal issue may resurface, tempting you to rehash an old argument. With Venus entering the same part of your chart, compromise becomes the key to pleasant relations. Despite the miscommunication associated with Mercury retrograde, this can be a good time for making peace, as you're able to set your ego aside and put the relationship first.
November 22–December 21
This week, Mercury goes retrograde in your efficiency corner, encouraging you to revise your schedule; reorganize your workspace; doublecheck details; review your diet, fitness regimen and health; revisit an old problem in search of a better solution; relearn a skill; research jobs; and put your daily habits under the microscope. Watch what you say to colleagues, as misunderstandings with them are a distinct possibility. With Venus entering the same house, you can get along with the people you work with by showing that you're a team player. A sun-Mars disagreement suggests you may need to tweak your approach in order to get something done, though, so be as flexible as you can.
December 22–January 19
With Mercury turning retrograde in your fulfillment zone this week, you may feel less able to say what's in your heart and express yourself artistically. Try revising a creative project or rediscovering an old source of pleasure such as a neglected hobby. You might find yourself reminiscing about lost love, but reconnecting with an ex is apt to be problematic, as miscommunication and iffy judgment are trademarks of Mercury retrograde. Venus's segue into that house will put you in a romantic mood, and it's perfectly fine to show affection now; just know that if you start a relationship or declare your feelings, you might change your mind in a few weeks.
January 20–February 18
After Mercury goes retrograde at the bottom of your chart this week, you may have misunderstandings with family members or people you live with and find yourself thinking about the past more than usual. Although it's a good time to rethink your living situation and your décor, you should avoid making any major decisions about them. Decluttering and rearranging furniture are safe bets for now. Quiet reflection can help you gain insight into your emotional state or patterns that you've carried over from childhood. And with Venus also descending to your foundation angle, reconnecting with relatives and entertaining at home will make you feel good in the weeks to come.
February 19–March 20
Mercury begins to backtrack this week, inviting you to contemplate your habitual ways of thinking and communicating and to reexamine your assumptions. It could feel like your mind is racing and you can't put your thoughts into words. Take a breath and write down what's in your head rather than trying to convey it to others. Expect some glitches in your daily interactions and commute, and be patient. With Venus showing up in that house, noticing the warmth in your personal exchanges and the beauty in your environment will boost your spirits. A sun-Neptune connection inspires you to let your personality and compassion shine through even if you don't feel especially eloquent.
March 21–April 19
Your financial judgment may be off after Mercury goes retrograde in your worth sector this week, so avoid big splurges. This would be a good time to take a hard look at your budget, assets, possessions, material needs, natural talents, earning potential, personal values and how much money you have coming in. You might consider reallocating your resources or streamlining your finances in some way. Try to prepare for a shortfall in case a paycheck is delayed. Venus's arrival in that house also encourages you to ponder what is most important to you, to distinguish between need and want and to get your priorities in order so you'll feel more secure and self-sufficient.

It's always been French law that you must carry your passport with you at all times. Just because people on travel boards advocate leaving their passports in the safe at their hotel does not make it acceptable, though many French police would normally cut you some slack and be fine with you carrying your passport copy.
But when you are detained by Paris police and don't have your actual passport on you, even if you have a copy, you are going to have to go back to the local préfecture with your real passport. Do you really want to hassle the French police with such a trivial thing, given all they are dealing with right now?
Just carry your passport with you at all times. It's not that big of a deal.

If you don't already have a money belt, now would be a good time to get one.

One day's cash and maybe one credit card is more readily accessible.)

Americans should also be able to carry the US Passport Card, similar to a driver's license, when out walking around instead of carrying your passport. It's a wallet size card that can be scanned, providing all of the information contained in your passport.
It can be used when reentering the country from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry.

moderate and balanced as ever, flanner. Speaking as someone who has a horror of losing my passport which I habitually leave in my hotel room safe, the obvious answer is that the only person you potentially inconvenience by not carrying your passport is yourself, but then you know that really. And not once have I been asked to produce it in some 40 years of travel.
However should I be in France or wherever carrying ones passport is a requirement in future, I can see the point of changing that habit and I will probably do so and leave a copy in my hotel room.

I also don't carry my passport around a "host country", although in today in Brussels or Paris, I would carry my passport, for obvious reasons. Just overall, I don't have a rigid catechism stuck in my head that causes me to scream in moral rage about rule bending. I am always willing to pay the price for any rule I deliberately break. Could care less what the flanneruks think of me, and if they can't figure out the difference between me and a terrorist, that's just one of their many evident psychological problems.

Do European drivers' licenses have photographs and home addresses as American licenses do?
I remember a huge brouhaha about "national identity cards" in the UK a few years ago when photo drivers' licenses were proposed, but I have no idea what happened.
US licenses are easy enough to counterfeit that they are no substitute for a passport -- at least at present.

Do you have a passport card? They are easy to carry and my husband always has his on him. I wish I had paid for one on my last renewal. Foreign US military bases have sent out emails for all personnel traveling to carry one now at all times. That and the order to stay out of France till the 25th, Paris till the 30th, Belgium, Milan and Rome.

Why would I pay extra for a passport card when I already have a passport? The card is not valid for travel to Europe, and I have no idea whether European authorities would accept it instead of a passport. It is cheaper and easier just to copy the picture page of the passport.

UK ones do, not sure about the others.
but, and I know that this is hard for some americans to fathom, not everyone has a driving licence. My DS, for example is nearly 25 and can't drive. But they are not valid for travel anyway apart from some flights within the UK. [some carriers accept them as ID, others don't].

The Passport Card contains the same information as the Passport and can be used where enhanced drivers licensed are used, but only a few states offer the enhanced licenses. It can also be used as a form of identification when traveling within Europe, but can't be used when flying internationally, simply because you need to get a entry visa (stamp). When they start using digital stamps, the card will be perfect, al least for most people.

Thanks Robert for explaining that. My husband uses it with his military id to get on and off bases in other countries where I have to produce the passport. It is a great back up if you ever lose the actually passport in a foreign country and have to go to the embassy to have it replaced.

"It can also be used as a form of identification when traveling within Europe,"
Do you have a reference for that?

Ann is probably too young
to remember that in the UK there are two types of driving license. Only one has a photo on it and the address while the more traditional one has only the address.
Years ago I got on an aircraft using my library card (which does have a picture but no address) but it seems this does not work anymore.

yes, bilbo my grandad had one of the old type! [they were little red books if I remember rightly]
seriously, my first licence was a paper one; at some long- forgotten point in the far gone past it was replaced with a two part one, a paper part and the photo-card. The paper part is now obsolete so when I go to test drive a car on Wednesday, I have to take not only my driving licence but also my NI no!
BTW, my Cornwall library card wouldn't work as it's only got a bar code on it, and no photo or address.

Custom officers can access photographs and biographical information on your passport card from 20 feet away because each card contains a radio frequency identification chip. Officers pull up your info on their electronic devices before you reach them, speeding up the process. Your traditional passport can't do that.
The passport is needed for the stamp when you arrive and depart.
I know most countries in the EU have passport cards. We give them to hotels that need to see your passport and if purchasing items that need it. Just another Government form of ID. We can use only the card for Canada and cruising.
Thursday, you don't have to buy one.

It's the same as using your driver's license with photo if asked for identification when purchasing something in a store (shoes, shirts, camera lens, etc) when you don't want to be carrying around that much cash.
And no, I would never carry around a money belt. I use a shoulder bag, strung across my body when in a crowd, or just over the shoulder when not. I even have one from Tumi I use when dressed up; wearing a sports coat and out for the evening. I've never left my passport in a hotel safe. It fits nicely in the shoulder bag.
The only thing I use the hotel safe for is somewhere to put the computer when in an unfamiliar hotel.

@flpab - don't know about your passport, but both my UK and US passports now have RFID chips. I believe the passport needs to be open for the chip to be read, but some people carry them in special covers anyway, to keep the chips from being read. With the right equipment it isn't just the authorities that can read them. And if I want a government issued US passport card I do indeed have to pay the government for it. It is possible that we are not talking about the same thing, see:
@Robert - I'm not asking about stores and museums, I'm asking about the authorities. Is a US passport card, as opposed to a passport booklet, accepted as ID by police in Europe?
I have used a money belt for years, I feel undressed without it when traveling.

I have always always carried my passport in my money belt - always unless some hotel demanded I leave it there as has been the case.In Berlin Hbf several years ago I was waiting for a train and German cops demanded to see it - about the only time I've had to show it but glad I had it. And if something happens to you your passport is a good source of info on who to call, etc.
Always carry your passport on you IMO - and yes if it is the law obey the law.

"If something happens to you"
Yes, I travel solo, and these days hotel key cards often don't have any info on them. I suppose a credit card might be sufficient ID, but a passport or driver's license seems better, and I don't always carry a credit card.

The new Passports don't need to be open to be read, so a protective sleeve would be recommended.
I don't know if the passport card would be sufficient identification if stopped by some officers as I haven't been stopped for anything in years, except by the Guardia Civil when driving in and out of Pamplona during fiesta. All they wanted was a DUI breath test.

Travelmates were asked for their passports on the train from Paris to Dijon. One of them did not have hers with her, and they fretted that if she were asked for her passport on her return trip, she would not be able to get back to Paris that day. They had a complicated contingency plan, but learned that you never know when you will be asked by authorities for your passport, so best to carry it with you.

I always carry my passport. With MY luck, I'd leave for the airport for my flight home and guess where my passport would be. Yes, you got it, at the hotel of course.

I simply do not understand why people object to carrying a passport in another country! At home, I wouldn't dream of leaving the house without some valid form of identification. In the States that can be my driving license.
In France, your driver's license is NOT a valid form of identification; your passport is. By all means keep a copy in a retrievable form so the real thing can be replaced, why not just carry the real article?
Report Abuse
Generally two lines of thought regarding the carrying of passports.
The first is to carry it. There are risks, that of losing it or having it stolen. During the heavy tourist season, the US Embassy in Paris reports processing hundreds of lost passport claims a month, just for Paris. Losing a passport can be a messing business and can bring your vacation plans to a halt until a new one can be issued, during which time you will have nothing to prove your status.
The second argument is to leave your passport in a secure location, at the hotel for example. There are risks, that of not be able to immediately show one if asked, though I have never heard of anyone being rebuked for only carrying a driver´s license for ID. Most US driver´s licenses and French drivers licenses are identical in format except that, for security reasons, French licenses do not show addresses. If a driver´s license is not sufficiently convincing to anyone asking you to prove who you are, a quick trip back to your hotel room would clear this up rather quickly.
I would not travel far without my passport but whichever you decide, carry it or not, there will be risks.
Report Abuse
US Passports have electronic chips in them. I believe it was a requirement to renew yours for the newer model (around 2009?), even if it had not expired.
I don't bother with a protective passport cover, and I don't bother to protect my credit cards from RFID thieves. But then, I don't think I'm an easy - or very interesting - target.
Unless I needed my passport for travel or official government business, I have always carried a color copy of my passport since mine was stolen a few years ago and I went through hell to get it replaced. Never a problem using the copy for ID.
However, since a state of emergency has been declared, I'm leaving the copy at home and carrying my passport.
Report Abuse
I worry about having my purse snatched and there is my passport gone. I usually don't carry that or my military id. I worry more about that being stolen than passport. If it is warm enough I have a jacket with a secure inside pocket and put them there. Pal, How do you fit your passport inside your money belt?
But will have on me at all times now that they said you must.
Report Abuse
Carrying a genuine photo ID should not bother anyone, it's an entrenched part of 21st century life in most developed countries. On weekdays, I usually carry the following photo IDs
Swiss national identity card
Regional transport pass (aka a driver's license for the non-driver )
Swiss transport half-fare card
Work ID (photo badge with computer chip)
If there's even the slightest chance I'll be crossing borders, I carry my passport as well. So I'm often carrying in my wallet five real forms of photo ID.
Paper copies provide useful information for you; given how easily photoshop and other programs let you create altered copies, they have no validity to authorities. No wonder they're now demanding people finally stick to the letter of the law and carry the real deal with them.

German prosecutors launched mass raids on Credit Suisse bank branches on Wednesday in a tax probe for any evidence that staff helped Germans hide money abroad, in a dispute angering Switzerland.
About 150 investigators descended on 13 branches of the Switzerland-based bank, the prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf, western Germany, said.
State attorney Johannes Mocken said the raids "targeted Credit Suisse staff suspected of having assisted tax fraud by clients."
The Swiss bank said in a statement that it was "cooperating with the relevant authorities" in Germany but added: "As it is an ongoing investigation, we cannot provide more information."
The searches at the 13 branches began at 0800 GMT, the prosecutor's office said.
Credit Suisse shares showed a loss of 1.58 percent to 44.98 Swiss francs in midday Zurich trading, while the SLI index on which they are listed was off by 0.14 percent overall.
In February, officials in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia purchased a CD computer disc for a reported 2.5 million euros (3.2 million dollars) which contained information on about 1,100 wealthy Germans linked to the investigation.
They were urged to come forward of their own accord to avoid prosecution, and many have done so.
A spokesman for Duesseldorf prosecutors told AFP in March that "the Credit Suisse clients have investments in total of around 1.2 billion euros."
The amount of tax owed to the authorities was unclear, he added, but according to several sources they stood to recover up to 400 million euros.
Swiss authorities condemned the purchase, and the affair provoked diplomatic tension with Germany, which is determined to recover tax revenue from accounts in neighbouring countries where funds may have been deposited to evade tax.
The identity of the seller of the information has never been revealed, and the saga prompted a high-profile debate in Germany about paying for illicit data.
In 2008, a similar deal netted a long list of names and bank accounts in the principality of Liechtenstein which enabled officials to recover about 200 million euros in unpaid taxes and led to the arrest of the head of the logistics group Deutsche Post.
The saga put Liechtenstein and other tax havens including Switzerland in the firing line of international efforts against offshore banking havens and tax dodgers.
In late March, Germany and Switzerland reached agreement on the principle of a convention that would regulate taxation of individuals with financial interests in both countries.
Fellow Swiss banking giant UBS has also found itself under scrutiny for allegedly helping rich Americans hide money from the taxman.
In a state-brokered settlement in August 2009, UBS warded off a bruising US government lawsuit by agreeing to hand over secret details on about 4,450 clients and US taxpayers.

The Perfect Car 1992 W124 500E
The Perfect Car
This 1992 W124 500E earned a perfect score from concours judges andBest of Marque Mercedes-Benz at 2016 Legends of the Autobahn
Article Gary Anderson with Eric Bergstedt
Images David Gooley & Susan Morehouse
Per • fect adjective:
Having all the required or desirable elements,
qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be
When Eric Bergstedt decided a few years ago to undertake a project in which he would take an already attractive Mercedes-Benz automobile and rebuild it so that it was as absolutely perfect as he could make it, his first challenge was to decide which year and model he would choose to restore.
Which model to choose?
Given the rapid acceleration of technology between the 1970s and 1990s in response to safety, fuel efficiency and environmental concerns, Bergstedt leaned toward a model that was built fairly recently.
However, if he would be investing the time and effort required to meet his quality goal, he wanted to be assured that the car would maintain its value and desirability over a long period of time. The car would already have to be recognized for its performance and have attracted interest from collector hobbyists. It would also have to have proven that its design would be accepted as timeless in its attractiveness. Anything newer than models from 1995 – those at least 20 years old – could not yet have met these standards.
The small window in time narrowed the search, and it didn't take long to find one car that was already desirable among Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts and would still meet most of the engineering standards of modern cars. The model he chose was the Mercedes-Benz 500E, built on the W124 chassis in small numbers for a discerning automotive clientele from 1990-1994.
Because the final result of Bergstedt's restoration project absolutely met the goal of perfection he had set for his car – Mercedes-Benz Club of America judges could find no flaws in either the specifications or execution of the restoration – The Star editors decided to showcase Bergstedt's 500E so that it could serve as a benchmark against which other examples of the model could be restored and evaluated in the future.
A successful collaboration
When the 1989 models were being planned, the W124 chassis had been in production for five years; as the base for the new mid-size models that keystoned the Mercedes-Benz lineup, it was quite successful. The series would be updated that year with new interiors and cosmetic refreshing of the exteriors, but there was no plan to replace the chassis series anytime soon. Nonetheless, Mercedes-Benz product planners were exploring means by which the existing lineup could be expanded with the addition of new models that would continue to draw attention at car shows and in the showrooms.
One idea that looked promising was a high-performance model that might be a luxury version of the well-received 190E 2.3 16-V that was built on the W201 chassis – the source for most design cues on the W124 models. With Stuttgart neighbor Porsche looking for additional business to use its recently expanded production capabilities, a plan was developed that, in retrospect, carved the mold in which the AMG program would later be developed.
Mercedes-Benz would design a version of the W124 that would be both stylistically similar and visually distinctive from its other W124 sedans. Performance modifications would be designed in cooperation with Porsche engineers using components from the Mercedes-Benz parts bins.
The W124 chassis with specialized suspension components would be built by Mercedes-Benz, but then shipped to Porsche's Rössle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen to hand-assemble the specialized body panels – including flared fenders and aerodynamic lower body panels – on the chassis. The body would then be shipped back to Sindelfingen for the marriage of the chassis with the V-8 engine and installation of interior fittings, and then shipped back to Rössle-Bau for completion and road tests. Finally, the nearly complete car would be shipped back to Mercedes-Benz for final testing and preparation before being shipped to dealers.
Complicated? Certainly. However, the companies had the advantage of being able to produce a very specialized, essentially hand-assembled automobile without any additions to existing manpower or production facilities. This allowed Mercedes-Benz to produce the car in exceptionally small numbers while nevertheless being able to price it at a reasonable level – and make a profit on the program.
What made the 500E special?
Mercedes-Benz had pulled out all the stops when it designed the 500SL roadster on the R129 chassis. Product planners in the firm's marketing department recognized that there had always been – and would continue to be – demand for small sporty cars from Mercedes-Benz. However, engineers were challenged by the need to design and manufacture high-performance components on a cost-effective basis that wouldn't be appropriate for use in the staid and proper transportation represented by the company's executive sedans and limousines.
By increasing demand for tuner components, the 500E helped resolve this cost issue as well. To start with, the 5-liter M119 V-8 engine designed for the 500SL was just as well suited for a mid-size sports sedan as it was for the smaller, and heavier roadster. Similarly, the suspension developed for the 500SL could be readily adapted to the 500E, including the roadster's 300mm disk brakes with 4-piston calipers. There wasn't even a problem upgrading the brakes to the 320mm set used for the 600SL when it was introduced in late 1993 (the brakes that Bergstedt fitted to his example).
Porsche's high-performance engineering expertise certainly played a role in designing the suspension for exceptional handling, with a 1.5-inch wider track and 0.9-inch lower stance. Coupled with the fender flares and sleek wrap-under lower body panels, the look of the 500E conveyed an appearance that was all about taking care of business and just barely on the polite side of mean.
And perform it did. The motoring press immediately dubbed the 500E the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," a tagline that didn't hurt the car's marketing program. Though building the car for Mercedes-Benz, Porsche benefited as well; neither company made any secret of the partnership and, throughout the automotive industry, the 500E was often referred to as the "four-door Porsche." From a dead stop, the car could pass 60 mph in under six seconds and go on to clear the quarter-mile marker in 14.1 seconds, credible performance even for custom-modified tuner cars and astounding for a production-series executive automobile. The performance specs even bested the smaller, less luxurious but much-bruited BMW E30 M3 that had been introduced just a few years before.
Given the economic stature of potential owners, the performance available at a driver's command – and the likelihood that the performance would often be demonstrated with three impressionable passengers in the separate seats – interior designers had an interesting challenge. The car had to look and function on a daily basis as both an executive conveyance and performance-capable sports sedan.
In the end, the design balance was carried off with great confidence. Pleated door pockets and leather on all interior surfaces, complemented by rich wood veneer surrounding gauges and accessory controls, did credit to the company that had produced the luxurious Adenauer and 600. On the other hand, the seats – two bolstered bucket-style rear seats as well as the two in the front – were subcontracted to Porsche's Recaro division. By then known for its racing seats, Recaro had once been the independent Reutter Company, responsible for constructing the aluminum Porsche prototypes that preceded the steel versions built in Zuffenhausen.
When is perfect not enough?
With its high-performance capabilities, the 500E was extremely desirable in its day; every car produced was immediately snapped up, though there weren't very many. A total of 10,359 units were produced from 1990-1994 – the years the car was nominally in production – and then 120 units were assembled in 1995 after the Porsche factory switched over to Audi production.
An interesting footnote to the story is that the complicated production system worked well. When AMG then began building and modifying limited-production cars for Mercedes-Benz, the system pioneered in Stuttgart continued, with chassis shipped to the AMG factory at Affalterbach for performance upgrades and then shipped back to the production plant at Sindelfingen for final assembly and shipping. In fact, the production of the 500Es and the first AMG-modified E60s overlapped, with a small number of cars having the 500E/E500 chassis getting a 6-liter version of the M119 engine and then sold as E60s.
The 500Es and successor E500s that were produced after the switch in nomenclature in 1994 are equally sought after by enthusiasts in the know today. Bergstedt adopted a few of the performance modifications popular among that group, though he avoided anything that would create visible changes. His upgrades included installation of a 1995 E420 transmission with improved first-gear performance, and a Wavetrac limited-slip differential. The only visible differences are the subtle changes to lower windshield trim and cowl pieces that were changed on the 1995 body panels to accommodate the cabin-air blower motor box from a 1995 W124, including a replaceable air filter.
Otherwise, this 1992 W124 500E is so accurate – so precise – that it can serve as a visual reference of the unusual Mercedes-Benz/Porsche collaboration the day it was displayed at its debut auto show.

A FATHER-of-three who was seen acting suspiciously in Blackpool was found with drugs and a knife.
Philip Towey, unemployed, of Lee Farm Road, Leeds, admitted possession of cocaine and an offensive weapon.
The 43-year-old was sentenced to do 40 hours' unpaid work for the community and ordered to pay £85 costs and £60 victims' surcharge by Blackpool magistrates
John Abbott, prosecuting, said at about 8pm on February 2, CCTV operators reported a man acting suspiciously on Central Drive.
Police identified Towey from a description and found five snap bags of cocaine and a one-inch locking knife in his possession.
Towey had previous convictions for drug possession.
The defence said Towey, who had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity, had come to the resort to celebrate his eighth wedding anniversary.
Magistrates ordered the destruction of the knife and drugs.
