470 Tasting Notes
I thought it'd be a good time to review this matcha since it's currently on sale! It's actually the last one from my previous order to try, for some reason I didn't really feel compelled to try it out until a few days ago. When I ordered it I was super excited, but once it arrived I was like "meh, peanut butter." So it took a while to get enthused about it! I got:
Size: 30 grams (small)
Base: Classic Matcha
Flavor Level: Distinctive
So, I don't like peanuts very much. They're my least favorite nut! But I LOVE peanut butter, and peanut butter themed things (like reeses!). In the bag this smells like, well, peanuts… not a great start. And at first sip, it's just kind of peanutt-y. Red Leaf actually has a straight Peanut matcha, and I was really really hoping this one would be different.
Thankfully, about halfway through the mug I got a really strong peanut butter taste! Toasty, nutty, buttery, smooth and creamy. Mmm, peanut butter! This is an exceptionally thick matcha, and I think it's best as a latte which really brings out the creamy qualities. This definitely turned out better than expected, and if you like peanut butter it'll be right up your alley. I think it would also be really good for baking—peanut butter matcha cupcakes perhaps? You can get some here:
This sounds like the difference between Caramel and Caramel Popcorn. Caramel wasn't bad, but Caramel Popcorn was just so much more complex I thought it blew Caramel out of the water.
Caramel Popcorn is just SO GOOD. You're right, it is similar! As much as I like the straight caramel, the extra complexity of the caramel popcorn (which I was going to abbreviate until I realized how awful it would look lol!) just makes it SO delicious! I haven't tried the straight peanut but after this one I think it'd be much the same.
It would be interesting to try the Peanut butter Matcha with Strawberry, or maybe just with a shot of strawberry syrup. Huh have to keep that in mind when I finally get around to ordering Matcha from Red leaf.
I actually don't have Strawberry matcha! It's one of those flavors that I just kind of forgot about haha. I am going to try peanut butter tiramisu though!
This one is… an oddity. I'm not getting chocolate really, maybe some malty notes, and there's no floral aspect at all. Maybe this could have benefited from a longer steep, though the strawberry is really prominent. It kind of reads like a regular strawberry black. I really love rose teas but this one just isn't strong enough.
Finally getting to my samples from Makers Tea! As Azzrian suggested, you really should use the entire sample for a cup. They're kind of small, and I'll admit that I was a bit disappointed. I mean, you have to pay $5 upfront, I was hoping they'd be a bit bigger so I could play around with them more. But you really only have one shot: this makes me nervous with flavored teas, because they don't resteep well usually so you have one chance to get a good cup out of it. And the suggested steeping time is… 7 minutes?! That seems way too long for a black.
This is a nice caramel tea with a smooth, tasty flavor but I'm just not getting much salt. The caramel is really really good, but I was hoping for more of a salty bite and I can't taste it at all! And the base is just okay, nothing really outstanding. So a good tea, but nothing really spectacular.
I have very little respect for this company, I don't like the way they've conducted themselves up to this point.
I don't like that we had to put money down—I like to think of free samples as a test drive, and if the tea is good I will definitely place an order with the company. This feels kind of like they are forcing a sale almost.
They are definitely no Butikit Teas, Verdant Tea, Red Leaf Tea or 52teas (the ones I compare companies to) I wasn't impressed with the quality of the tea, the lack of ingredients label (or even on the website) Although I do like the idea of putting tea in a que.
They definitely need to tweak the blends a bit. I think it's a good idea, just perhaps not executed as well as it could be.
Unfortunately, the queue seems to be the only worthwhile thing about the company… so I guess I'll just keep teas in queue! LOL I don't intend on paying $5 for samples that were supposed to be free, especially if they are just enough for one cup of tea! The only time I pay more than a dollar for a cup of tea is when someone else is making it for me. And to say that the money is "refunded" with the first full-price package you buy, so … I'm what then? Investing in the company? What if I don't like my first batch of samples and want to try another batch of three… I have to pay another $5 for that. If they're going to charge for samples, at least make it a worth the money I've paid for it. I understand paying for postage, but in all the years that I was selling teas, it never cost me $5. to send out three samples to anyone.
And their lack of communication is truly distressing to me as a consumer. I like to deal with companies that do not hide behind their generic responses … and that's exactly what I feel like I'm getting whenever I hear from this company. It sounds like a previously composed form letter, very generic and impersonal.
Just my impressions of this company … so far the only thing that has impressed me is their queue.
Interesting about the $5 upfront investment. Is this new? They sent my samples without this charge. It did take awhile for them to be sent though. I'll have to check as well on the size of sample. For some reason, I remember there being enough for a couple settings. Interesting.
For the first batch of people there was no fee, for the second it was $5 down. It sucks, because I wasn't in the 1st round despite being in the first 10 people to respond—they kind of went in a random order.
@Alphakitty: Yes, that's exactly how I feel about it too. I was in the first 10 to respond to the thread, and yet I didn't get in the first round either. I just don't like the way they handled the whole thing.
And in the PM that I finally DID get from them (well after the first round of folks had ordered and began receiving their samples), in that post they mentioned NOTHING about the $5 charge, they still claimed that the samples would be "free" – they don't even update their previously composed form letters.
It all shows a lack of concern toward their customer. I cannot trust this company after the way they treated me. I would rather row a boat to china and pick my own tea leaves than buy from this company.
I agree with everything LiberTEAS said. Their communication has been horrible. I also don't think they understand the concept that when you area new tea company, you have to invest money in your customers before they invest money in you. That's why you see so many other tea companies sending out samples without requiring any money. Word of mouth is a powerful advertising tool, especially in this era of social media.
Also, $5 for barely any samples is a joke. Other companies, like Den's Tea, send you way more tea for $3.
It actually still says that samples are free on their site, which is a bit misleading. I agree that new companies sending out samples generally consider it an investment of sorts—and if it's good tea that speaks for itself, of course they are going to get customers! I feel like I might ask for my $5 back, since so far I haven't tried any of their teas I'd want to add to my stash (though I still have 1 sample left).
Having an iced latte of this, I really can't emphasize enough how damn tasty it is! Caramel, butter, matcha, milk… ugh, this is sinfully good. I seriously think this is my second favorite of the Red Leaf matchas, Pumpkin Pie is still my #1 though! I wonder what would happen if I put them together…
The original 52teas Cotton Candy is one of those blends I hoard and store up for special occasions. I mean, it's not every day that you get to drink a glass of pure cotton candy goodness! I've been keeping an eye out for similarly flavored teas, but the Red Leaf matcha is the only one that comes close. So of course I had to snag their new cotton candy tea! I mean, I love cotton candy, blueberries, Halloween-themed things AND 52teas so nothing could really go wrong.
I cold brewed this (because who wants to drink hot cotton candy?!) and holy WOW. At first sip I thought the blueberry was too strong and kind of dominated. And in a way it does—while you are drinking, it's pure juicy and very authentic blueberry (not surprising since there are so many dried berries in the mix), followed by a mellow green tea taste. A little vegetal, a little sweet, but nothing to write home about. Then, BAM, at the end of the sip my mouth was filled with delicious cotton candy taste!
This is the perfect blend of cotton candy and blueberries—both are dominant flavors, and indeed both get a chance to "overwhelm" the cup, but you get them both in equal and delicious amount. Definitely a tea to be savored, I think you'd miss a lot of you chugged this one down. Another winner from 52teas! They've really been on a roll recently, between them and Red Leaf I feel like all my recent tealogs have had scores in the 90's haha
I've had the 52teas Caramel Cheesecake for over a month now and still haven't logged it. I don't know why, it's good, it's just… exactly what I expected, and nothing more. So I was really on the fence about this one, since it's essentially the same blend with pumpkin flavor. I ended up getting it (okay, the bf ordered it since he's in love with Caramel Cheesecake) when it was briefly reblended. Best tea-related decision I've made in a while!
This has all the flavor elements you'd expect: spicy pumpkin pie flavor, rich caramel, and an undertone of tangy cheesecake. A lot of people complain about not tasting the cheesecake on the 52 cheesecake blends, but that's never been an issue for me (except in the Apricot one, where it seemed to be blatant for everyone else haha). Here I think it's especially prominent: really creamy, and with a nice tang. The pumpkin flavor kind of dominates, adding a decadence to the cup. Combined with the caramel this is an over the top comfort tea. I tried it hot and iced (I know, pumpkin tea iced, I have strange tastes!) and both ways I actually felt full after a cup with no added sugar or milk. This is a rich tea! But delightfully so: often the problem with dessert teas is that you still, you know, want pie after drinking them. But not here! It's desserty perfection, but not for the faint of heart. It took me 2 hours to finished the iced cup…. yeah, it's that rich.
Hahaha, I had to laugh at how you said you could taste the cheesecake in most of the 52teas blends except apricot – before even reading the next few words, I was all "but that's the only one I can taste it in"! :P
"Often the problem with dessert teas is that you still, you know, want pie after drinking them." Hahahaha!! So true!
@Kittenna: I think sometimes my tastebuds are wonky since I always get the cheesecake except in that one darn blend. Now that it's had time to sit I really need to give it another shot!
@CHAroma: It really is! It's all nice and well to have a cup of tea that tastes like pie, but when I want something REALLY dessert-y I just go for hot chocolate. Or now, this tea, since it's just as rich (but way less calories).
I'm pretty sure my post office is trying to drive me insane. I was lucky enough to win a whole tin of this in KaiMatcha's contest, and I noticed about a week later everyone was posting tasting notes, but mine hadn't arrived. I assumed it would come soon… but nothing, for one whole week! I checked the tracking info on October 10th and lo and behold it got to my local post office on the 1st. Which means it was just sitting there for 9 days! What the heck! I went there to pick it up and they told me it wasn't there and they couldn't fully check without the tracking info (which I didn't have on hand). Furious, I filed a complaint and the next day a slip to pick it up arrived in my box (though no delivery attempt…). Seriously, I am so fed up with them! They mark boxes by what day they arrive and you could clearly see it originally said 1st but they crossed it out to say it got there the 10th. Aargh.
Anyway, of course right after I got it NYCC started up and I was too busy to do a tasting note, and then I got consars and my tastebuds went all wonky. Judging from the other reviews I knew this was going to be good, so I didn't want to waste it on my flu-y tasting abilities. But the time had finally come to dive right in! Well, I planned on savoring it and taking time to taste it, but mysteriously my first mug vanished rather quickly…
As others have said, this is what matcha is all about. It's true ceremonial grade, better than any other pure matcha I've had! I was actually quite surprised when I took my first sip. It's not that grassy at all, with a full, buttery almost umami-like mouthfeel. It's mellow and vegetal, with just a hint of delicious sweetness.
The foam is amazing too! So frothy and delicious, and it sifts like a dream. No clumps, no lumps, just smooth amazing matcha-ness. I've had this 3 times since I first opened it (straight, iced latte, hot latte) and it's just amazing no matter what you do to it. Matcha at its purest!
Sorry you had such a hassle! I am glad to hear you won, though! I didn't. sob But I did order a tin and it is supposed to cme tomorrow! It will be my first unflavored matcha ever and I am pretty excited!
I'm trying to finish of the Matcha I have to justify using the KaiMatcha coupon to order from them. It sounds wonderful! I love me some good Matcha!
When I saw that this was being reblended, I practically jumped out of my chair with joy. It's on my (long) list of 52tea desires: the ones I'd love to try, but were made so long ago or were so popular that I have no hope of ever getting a sample. And here, right in front of me, the opportunity to buy an entire pouch?! Thinking back on it, I should have gotten 2, but money's been tight this month so I went with just one.
Opening the pouch for this is a transcendent experience. It's marshmallow treats all right, with SUCH a strong marshmallow smell but some nice toastiness too. I've had this hot and cold brewed since I got mine, and both ways are beyond divine. The marshmallow flavor is thick and delicious and creamy-sweet, but it's balanced so well by the genmaicha base. I think marshmallow can easily be an overwhelming flavor, bordering on sickly-sweet, but 52teas balances it so well with things like nutty genmaicha, lemon, and mint. So you get just enough marshmallow without feeling nauseous.
The genmaicha base is what really makes this tea perfect. It mimics the crunchy, crusty flavor and texture of a marshmallow bar so perfectly. Just like in the Cherry Cheesecake Genmaicha, when it was the perfect "crust." I think most people wouldn't imagine it as the perfect base for a dessert tea, but I wish there were more genmaicha blends! And more marshmallow blends as well, since this is… heaven. I can't get enough of it! One of my favorites from them for sure. If you have this, give it a try cold brewed: you won't regret it.
The tasting notes on this one have been SO good, I kind of had super high expectations going into it. I mean, Azzrian's favorite matcha?! As the current matcha queen of steepster, I really trust her opinion so yes, I had high hopes for this one! I snagged one as soon as it went on sale. As a side note, I hate my post office! The tracking info on stuff coming to me is totally messed up, and it keeps saying stuff is in transit after it's arrived or that it's been sitting in my post office for a week and hasn't been delivered, it's so annoying! I think they held this one "hostage" for a while, since it took way longer than usual and I only got it after I went there and bugged them. But anyway, back to tea! I got:
Size: Small (30 grams)
Base: Classic Matcha
Flavor: Delicate
I'm not sure why I went with delicate over distinctive (my usual), I just had a feeling that it'd be best with a light flavor. The smell in the bag is amazing, caramel and popcorn and BUTTER! It reminds me of the microwave caramel popcorn they used to make… they still make some kinds now, but this one came with a huge chunk of caramel to put in the bag after you warmed up the popcorn so instead of some caramel glaze it was ACTUAL gooey, delicious caramel on your popcorn. That stuff was soooo good, but I guess it's just cheaper to skimp out and glaze them. Sigh.
I whipped this up last night as a hot latte, and holy moly it is just… perfect. Amazing! You can taste ALL of the levels of flavor, even with the delicate option. There's rich, fresh-made caramel flavor, reminiscent of (unsurprisingly) caramel, one of the classic and most-loved Red Leaf flavors. Then there's the popcorn, without the crunch but with that almost fluffy, airy taste. Then, BUTTER. I can't believe there's actual slightly salty butter flavor in here! It makes this sooo rich and delicious and just perfect. No mistaking what flavor this is! It so reminds me of the old caramel popcorn, it's like having it back finally!
Of course because I went with delicate, the matcha flavor isn't overpowered but makes for a nice base of sorts, keeping the caramel flavor from getting too heavy. And as much as I totally love this one, I REALLY want to try it with a black base with the distinctive level of flavoring… just thinking about adding those chocolate cookie notes to this makes my brain explode! If you love dessert matchas like me, get this. Heck, if you love matcha, get this. If you love tea at all get this! Really, it is just perfect.

Be the first to hear about new courses and special offers:
When making a Sunday Roast Chicken dinner, why not pop another one in the oven at the same time in order to ensure enough leftovers for this easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, delicious Chicken Pot Pie that the whole family can enjoy individually. By making it ahead, you are saving yourself time and effort and by making individual pot pies (actually easier than making a whole one) you can adjust the flavours to individual taste-thus making you a super star once again!
I do not use exact amounts in this recipe as it is meant to be a "leftover-throw what you have in " kind of dish. As a template go with about 1 litre of stock to 500 ml of cream to 1 leftover chicken or 600 g of meat.
You can either put the puff pastry on top and cook in the oven all together at the end or really cheat and while you are cooking up the chicken and cream sauce, cut individual shapes (I love heart ones and so do my kids) pop them in the oven to rise while you work the chicken. Then when the chicken is ready just place a little puff pasty top on.
Preheat oven 200°C (400°F/Gas 6).
Cook the pancetta or diced bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp. Add the oil, onion and garlic, season salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add carrots and other vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Add the wine and stock. Beurre manie 1 tablespoon water and add to the saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes or until thickened. Divide among six 12 cm (4 1/2inch), 400 ml (14 fl oz) capacity ramekins or ovenproof bowls and set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
Roll out the pastry to 5 mm(1/4inch) thick and cut into 6 shapes to fit over the bowls. Brush the rims of the bowls with a little beaten egg, lay the pastry over and press to seal. Make a small slash in the pastry with a knife, brush tops with a little more beaten egg and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Porn: The Illuminati Plot
It would then be real easy for me dismiss Makow and his works as the paranoid scribblings of a man suffering a major persecution complex that any Freudian could write a thesis over. It would be easy to dismiss him, but unfortunately, I can't, even if I don't share the same philosophy as he does. The reason I can't dismiss him is that his writings prove to be way too stunningly accurate.
Take a recent piece by him on the effects of pornography on Japanese society. In Japan, porn is far more prevalent and depraved than it is in the USA, and the results aren't pretty:
"Normally teenage boys are obsessed with sex. So you know something is very wrong when more than a third of Japanese youths say they don't want it!
According to a government survey, 35 per cent of Japanese males aged 16-19 are averse to sex, more than double the 17.5 percent of men in the previous study in 2008."
This little stat underscores one of his main points: that American society's obsession with sex is paradoxically anti-sexual in nature. Seeing what happens in a trailblazer nation on porn such as Japan is a sign of things to come. As Makow states:
"Pornography is a sexual turn-off. This is why the Illuminati have made it ubiquitous.
People get sick of whatever they have too much of. There's too much sex out there. The challenge and mystery are gone. Most males are jaded. They look at porn to see if there is any woman left who can turn them on.
Porn makes available women seem inadequate. It becomes a substitute for sex with a real woman."
Let it be noted that I am strongly in favor of free speech extended to pornography. I am also someone who doesn't hide his appreciation of porn. That said, I have to admit that everything Makow says in the paragraphs above is completely true. And I doubt any friends of mine who are porn appreciators would disagree with me on this.
I'm sure I haven't done Makow justice here, and a writer this unusual can't be given justice in such small of space. So instead let me recommend you his work at SaveTheMales.ca and HenryMakow.com where, even if if you don't completely embrace his premises, you may learn something from his often controversial writings.

LOL to the last comment
Good blog. I was an addict to porn. My libido was constantly high. Now at the age of 20 I have severe ED, no libido, a lot of other problems and I even feel adversion to some aspects of sex. So, sadly, all this is right like you suspected. Who the fuck cares about anti-semitic, or fanatic religious people? What Makows states is real and my life is fucked up for it.
Good luck to everyone with these iluminati fucking around.

Don't let the Flu get you down this holiday season. Below are some tips to keep you healthy during this holiday season.
What is the Flu?
Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization or death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year.
Signs and Symptoms of Flu
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:
- Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches
- Fatigue (very tired)
- Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
*It's important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
How Flu Spreads
Most experts believe that flu viruses spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes or possibly their nose.
Here are some tips to help prevent the spread of flu and other illnesses this holiday season:
Prevention Tips
- Wash your hands!
2. Get your flu vaccination (The best way to prevent getting the flu).
3. Stay home if you feel sick.
4. Cover your coughs and sneezes by using a tissue. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze in your upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands.
5. Do not handle or prepare food for others if you are sick.
6. Wash clothes soiled by vomit and/or diarrhea.
7. Use bleach to clean solid surfaces (1/3 cup of bleach for every gallon of water).
8. Drink lots of water.
9. Get plenty of rest.
When to your wash hands
- Before, during, and after preparing food.
2. Before eating food.
3. Before and after caring for someone who is sick.
4. After using the toilet.
5. After changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet.
6. After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
7. After touching an animal or animal waste.
How to wash your hands properly
1. Wash your hands using soap and warm water for at least twenty (20) seconds.
2. After washing your hands, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the bathroom door.
3. Use hand sanitizer when water is not available.

The clouds loomed over the house. Before God they chose their own vows to say to each other. "Will you make me happier than a bunny in a carrot patch?" He said. Two lives joined as one. Thank you for letting us be apart of your day! So, it is finally here Ashley and Katey. Married.
How in the world do you begin shooting a wedding? I had tremendous help from a friend who I met in school a while ago. I admit, when this adventure began I had no clue how things were going to work. Kristin of Kristin Shyla Photography helped me through my fears and questions through email, phone calls, and then dinner. She went the extra mile to help this girl out. She is an amazing photographer, but more than that she is such a great encouragement for me in general. You spend a couple of minutes with her and you can see her passion and sweet spirit. So, go check out her blog and her stunning images.
My husband. Zack. Yes, he went through this whole process with me every minute (good, bad, and ugly). When I was muddling through what steps should be taken, equipment, chatting, emotional drama with pregnancy he was there. He is definitely my calm through the storm apart from Jesus. He's my best friend and more than a girl could ever hope or ask for. Plus, he was the second shooter and did a great job (he won't tell you that, but he did great)!!

Los Angeles is swarming with planners from around the world. As the city plays host to the annual American Planning Association conference, mobile sessions and panel discussions are revolving around the future. There's talk about the future of smart growth, discussions about the future of cities in light of climate change, and much to do about the future of the planning profession.
Part of the backdrop of this year's confab is a simmering collective of the new thinking about public engagement. From the Occupy Wall Street movement to the push to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology, involving the public in the decision making process has never been more exciting – or more daunting. The public wants transparency in government and there is growing expectation that information will be available on demand. These realities, coupled with the internet and mobile technology, have opened up new avenues for public engagement in the 21st Century.
But as we imagine the promise of what's on the horizon, we need to remember the failings of the past. This month Los Angeles marks the twentieth anniversary of the 1992 riots – "civil unrest", "uprising", "saigu" – what you call it says a lot about how you experienced it. The three of us distinctly remember the tension building up to April 29, 1992. A jury decided and the tinderbox exploded. We saw our city on fire and it profoundly shaped our professional and personal development. As we contemplate the future of our communities, let's make sure we're informed by our past – even if we can't agree on the name for it.
Sincerely yours,
Cecilia V. Estolano | Jennifer LeSar | Katherine Aguilar Perez

Contemplative clouds: a site of solitude or subjectivity?
The anonymous 14th century author of the Cloud of Unknowing asserts that his work depends on Dionysius "from beginning to end" (ch. 70). The influence is obvious, but perhaps not as complete as the Cloud author suggests. As much as it draws on the patristic tradition of mystical theology, this text already seems to be moving away from it, toward a more proto-modern mode of mysticism and the isolated or buffered subject of modernity which such mysticism foretells.
Not yet at the extreme of Descartes' methodological doubt or Husserl's phenomenological epoche, the contemplative prayer advocated by this English mystic nevertheless involves a certain bracketing. On the one hand, God is to be sought exclusively through the "cloud of unknowing," which is a barrier to knowledge that is nevertheless permeable by divine love, or grace. On the other hand, there is the "cloud of forgetting," which detaches the contemplative from all sensations, images, and thoughts of people or things existing in the created world (ch. 5). Now, clouds are not walls. There is a certain degree of porousness implied by the metaphor. And yet, the image of these clouds does encourage the prayerful soul to cultivate a profound sense of isolation from concrete reality in order to draw nearer to the God who nevertheless remains ever distant, thinkable only as "nothing" or "all," approachable only from "nowhere" (chs. 68-9). The clouds act like buffers, leaving the self prayerful but abstracted. Soon, the prayers will cease but the abstraction will remain.
That having been said, modern subjectivity having been identified for the problematic and contingent occurrence that it is, an open question remains concerning the potential value of this sort of spiritual practice. The theme of solitude, more positive in connotation, could be developed here. And it could be pointed out that such cloudily enclosed contemplation is meant to attract others to the grace of God, through the change in spiritual and physical appearance which it brings about in the practioner (ch. 54). Ultimately, this contemplative prayer is, in its effects, both social and bodily–two qualities which we postmoderns demand. And yet, ought not these qualities condition prayer itself, and not only its outcomes? Or ought they not (at least not in the heights of contemplation)? This question, to me, seems as important and perplexing today, as ever. Must there be aloneness with the Alone, or is this precisely that which a prayerful encounter with the living God seeks to subvert?
Constitutive Anti-Judaism
Susannah Heschel's superb book Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus analyzes Abraham Geiger (1810-1874), one of the most important figures in the development of the Reform Judaism in the 19th century, in terms of his historical work on ancient Judaism and Christianity. Geiger's work is described in post-colonial terms as a 'counter-history' to the dominant Christian narratives regarding Judaism, Jesus, Christianity, and modernity. This book is challenging in its clear portrayal of the theological role played by anti-Judaism within theological/historical accounts of Christian origins in the 19th century and beyond. One of Geiger's principle goals in his scholarly work was to combat this entrenched anti-Judaism by placing Jesus firmly within Judaism rather than in opposition to it. Geiger argued that anti-Judaism played a constitutive role in most Christian accounts of the origins of Christianity and the life of Jesus. For example, he noted that Palestinian Judaism and the Pharisaic movement are almost universally disparaged. This disparagement creates for the Christian author a dark background in front of which Christianity can shine in lucid brilliance. Judaism was depicted by conservatives, liberals, and rationalists alike as legalistic, nationalistic, primitive, and depraved; "jewishness" represented dangerous tendencies of false religiosity, immorality, hypocrisy, physicality, and dishonesty. Anti-Judaism was one theological tenet on which all could agree.
The demand to place Jesus within his Jewish context and to provide an accurate depiction of the Judaisms of his time is common today. Nevertheless, it is important to understand and engage the parts of Christian history which have led us to this conclusion (and the ongoing temptation to construct typologies of Judaism in service of Christian theological aims). Heschel's book provides a highly nuanced account of the diverse deformations of Christian theology through its accounts of Judaism. Particularly helpful for demonstrating the depth of anti-Judaism within Christianity is its place among various liberal Protestants. From Heschel's concluding chapter:
The tenacity of the negative construction of Judaism in Christian theology was something Geiger could never accept; in a letter to a friend he wrote, 'Ah, if only Christianity really were the religious force that it pretends to be'…the persistent hostility toward Judaism that marks liberal Protestantism has been explained by a variety of factors…but the underlying problem was the noetic structure of liberal Protestantism…Even with the sophisticated debates over dating the gospel sources and the skepticism in judging the sayings as authentic, Jesus' inner spiritual life was retained as a legitimate category and made the basis of claims for his uniqueness. The threat perceived by liberal Protestantism was not only from conservatives, who claimed that historical method would undermine Christianity, but from a figure such as Geiger, who demanded that historical method be thoroughly applied, without the hindrances of theological commitment. Liberal Protestants were not willing to take that step…For them, the rhetoric of anti-Judaism served the crucial function of bridging the limited application of historical method and the retention of the theological category of Jesus' uniqueness. In painting a negative picture of the religion of the Pharisees, Jesus could stand out in sharp contrast, his extraordinary nature preserved intact.
The emergence of new methods in Protestant theology during the early twentieth century only sharpened the anti-Judaism. Ritschl's arguments in the field of church history, taken up by his disciple Adolf Harnack, left no positive role for Judaism within early Christianity; it was simply an influence to be erased…Jesus' unique religious consciousness remained a central category throughout Protestant theology, invariably contrasted to an inferior Jewish religious mentality. Even when the study of rabbinic Judaism was taken up by some Christian academics, the results were troubling. For instance, the Strack-Billerbeck compilation of rabbinic parallels to the New Testament became a notorious example of anti-Semitism corrupting scholarship. It is striking that most of the few Christian scholars who participated in the study of rabbinic Judaism during the Weimar period became involved in producing anti-Semitic propaganda during the Third Reich (225-227).
Heschel's account of Geiger omits most of his intra-Jewish work (the majority of his work) but it is still an excellent introduction to the basics of his thought, and it provides an outstanding account of both Geiger's 19th century theological (and German) context and the Christian depictions of Jesus and Judaism of his time.
Blogging in the Classroom
This coming fall semester I will be teaching two sections of the first-level theology course here at Notre Dame and I will be integrating blogging into the course – assignments include blogging on various topics and responding to posts from fellow students. I hope to post during the semester as to how this is going but right now there is an interesting piece over at the Chronical of Higher Ed on Teaching with Blogging by Lanny Arvin. The author notes that blogging facilitates active engagement with the course material and fits nicely with principles for good undergraduate education. Nevertheless, he raises two concerns that I had as I designed my course: difficulty of students adapting to the medium and student privacy.
The medium: ideally blogging provides an atmostphere for creative thinking and thoughfully articulated dialogue within a course (ideally, I know!). As I have designed my course I see the danger that blog assignments will become no more than the standard reflection papers given in many classes. The fact that students put these papers up on blogs may be entirely superficial. Dr. Arvin found that this was a real danger as his students had trouble opening up and personally engaging the material. However, I have honestly been more worried that blogging would lead to posts that are not serious enough; too open-ended, too much stream-of-consciousness. Finding that balance between substantial engagement and free thought will be a task throughout the semester. Right now (and this seems supported by his experience) I am hoping that my commenting on student blogs and requiring students to comment upon other student blogs will help generate substantial and creative reflection and take advantage of blogging as a medium.
Privacy: legally, no student can be required to post in public forum using his/her real name. I am hoping that students will feel comfortable using only their first names to ensure anonymity but pseudonyms are also an option. At the end of the article the issue of aliases is raised. It is unclear whether or not giving aliases would be intended to protect anonymity with the wider public or within the classroom as well. If the former, I agree that anonymity within the wider blogosphere will aid students (particularly first year-students) in opening up and putting their thoughts out there. If it is the latter, I think it might be detrimental, since part of the benefit of blogging is to build a sense of community in learning. Anonymity from others in the class would signficantly hurt this.
My reflections at this point, of course, are only what I hope to accomplish with blogging. I am excited about the possibilities blogging brings to the classroom and am thankful for those who have tried it already. We'll see how it goes in the Fall.
"Preferential Option" and "Church of the Poor"
I am reading Roberto Goizueta's new book Christ Our Companion: Toward a Theological Aesthetics of Liberation and I hope to post some reflections on it in the near future (particularly on the appropriation of aesthetics within the logic of liberation theology). For now, I want to post two quotes which further illustrate three points I made in my note on the Kingdom-World-Church theses: 1) the de-centering of the Church vis-a-vis a poor; 2) the sacramental role of the crucified people as mediators of the presence of Christ; 3) the methodological aspect of the preferential option for the poor (an aspect emphasized throughout the work and, in my view, affirmed too exclusively in the first passage below: "nothing other than"). As I said in my earlier post, the first supports the idea that mission precedes church within the theses; the second and third seem to be at odds with central affirmations of the theses. The theses are, of course, only theses; by definition they await further exploration and substantiation. Nevertheless, the complexity of liberation theologies must be kept in mind as the affirmations of the preferential option and the 'church of the poor' in thesis 11 are developed .
The preferential option for the poor is nothing other than the assertion that the crucified people of history are the privileged mediators of God's mercy in the church and in the world. The crucified people are the privileged historical mediation of the crucified and risen Christ in the world. When they extend mercy, they embody Christ's own offer to the apostles after the resurrection: 'Peace be with you' (36).
'The Spirit of Jesus is in the poor,' asserts Jon Sobrino, 'and, with them as his point of departure, he re-creates the entire Church. If this truth is understood in all its depth and in an authentically Trinitarian perspective, it means that the history of God advances indefectibly by way of the poor; that the Spirit of Jesus takes historical flesh in the poor; and that the poor show the direction of history that is in accord with God's plan.' In no way does this suggest a 'parallel church'; rather it specifies the privileged (not exclusive) sociohistorical locus wherein the church is church and discovers what it means to be church…the ecclesiological image of the church of the crucified people posits not a new church but 'a new mode of being the Church' (38 – quoting Sobrino's The True Church and the Poor, 93, 96).
Remembering the Dead
One last Rahner quote, this time from the chapter, "God of the Living":
I should like to remember the dead to You, O Lord, all those who once belonged to me and have now left me…I see my life as a long highway filled by a column of marching men. Every moment someone breaks out of the line and goes off silently, without a word or wave of farewell, to be swiftly enwrapped in the darkness of the night stretching out on both sides of the road. The number of marchers gets steadily smaller and smaller, for the new men coming up to fill the ranks are really not marching in my column at all.
True, there are many others who travel the same road, but only a few are traveling with me…the others are mere companions of the road, who happen to be going the same way as I. Indeed there are many of them, and we all exchange greetings and help each other along. But the true procession of my life consists only of those bound together by real love, and this column grows ever shorter and more quiet, until one day I myself will have to break off from the line of march and leave without a word or wave of farewell, never more to return.
That's why my heart is now with them, with my loved ones who have taken their leave of me. There is no substitute for them; there are not others who can fill the vacancy when one of those whom I have really loved suddenly and unexpectedly departs and is with me no more. In true love no one can replace another, for true love loves the other person in that depth where he is uniquely and irrreplaceably himself. And thus, as death has trodden roughly through my life, every one of the departed has taken a piece of my heart with him, and often enough my whole heart.
A strange thing happens to the man who really loves, for even before his own death his life becomes a life with the dead. Could a true lover ever forget his dead? When one has really loved, his forgetting is only apparent: he only seems to get over his grief. The quiet and composure he gradually regains are not a sign that things are as they were before, but a proof that his grief is ultimate and definitive. It shows that a piece of his own heart has really died and is not with the living dead.
Encounters with Silence, 53-55
From pragmatism to the practical: reflections on the Stout, Rorty, Hauerwas debate
What's interesting to me about Stout's Democracy and Tradition, and his rebuttals to the critical responses of West, Rorty, and Hauerwas in the panel discussion published in the recent JAAR volume, is not so much his commitment to pragmatism (which is, notably, complicated by his recogntition of the plurivocity of this term) but rather his evident insistence upon being practical.
The former, I take it, has considerable positive content. Stout and Rorty disagree precisely on whether a preference for secularity is essential to this content. Stout thinks no strong preference of this kind is entailed. Rorty–insofar as he remains worried about the authoritarian implications of metaphysical (or metaphysical-like) theories of truth, including Christian, Platonic, Cartesian, and others–continues to argue for the importance of such a preference, even though he interestingly suggests (citing Wolterstorff) that theists can legitimately speak from their own points-of-view in the public square.
But, as Hauerwas' line of questioning makes clear, and as Stout himself emphasizes, an account of pragmatism which is less restrictive than Rorty's is not, for this reason, lacking in certain commitments, which constitute a positive tradition. The main challenge which Hauerwas poses to Stout, as I see it, is that the compatibility of Stout's more inclusive but still somewhat positive version of pragmatism with the radical demands of Christian discipleship is not a foregone conclusion. Stout's hospitality to the Christian other, however welcome and welcoming it is, however refreshingly different from Rorty's performatively dogmatic secularism, nevertheless may not be able to embrace this other as such, absolutely, without qualification. A Stoutian society may still be one in which Christians have got to compromise themselves, to some extent, albeit to a much lesser extent than Rorty would ultimately want.
In the end, the question is this: If one wants to be more than a Christian pragmatist (a position which, thanks to West and others, as Stout contends, need not be construed as oxymoronic) and become, above all else, and without compromise, a Christian simpliciter (a disciple of Christ and not Emerson, James, Dewey, etc.), does this desire commit one to becoming impractical? To be practical would entail minimally taking seriously in some way or another the pluralistic fact of humanity, because such is the state of the real world in which action is possible, in which alone discipleship can be embodied and not merely envisioned. This is the challenge which Stout poses to Hauerwas, but also to Christians more generally. Stout also makes a recommendation, in the form of a (revisionist-)pragmatist account of the practical. But it seems to me that the space for future dialogue is precisely the practical as such, which includes the given constraints of profound human diversity, but which is not necessarily in every respect identifiable with a pragmatist account of the practical, even of a Stoutian variety.
The logic of Stout's work and the intelligibility of Hauerwas' response to it seem to be pushing in this direction. Away from pragmatism as the condition of dialogue (though it remains in the dialogue) and toward a more general framework of concern, not structurally positioned (in any respect) against the theological but not explicitly entailing it either: a framework which I'm calling here "the practical."
New JAAR on theology, secularity, and politics
It's relatively rare that a whole issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Religion is directly relevant to theologians, so for those of you who don't receive it, I thought it worth mentioning that the most recent one (78.2, June 2010) is. The whole issue is devoted to theology, secularity, and political participation.
Table of contents:
- "Post-secular Society: Christianity and the Dialectics of the Secular"—by Ingolf U. Dalferth

There's one other essay, "The Romans and Ritual Murder" by Celia E. Schultz, which the editor says was meant to belong to the last issue.

look...you make bunny cries...=((
last tuesday i found out something yang bikin gue sebeeeeLLLLL banget dan bikin gue nyadar kalo ternyata to some people...when it comes to money, nothing else should matter, even if that means stealing your good friend idea...from the exact same product *even though there are hundreds of other models out there*, to the way he explains the description of the product *he flat out carbon copy mine word per word without asking me first* and even taking the same angle of pictures and to make me feel even more backstabbed, he does it way more aggresive than me. so i decided to go under a new name, new domain, layout, add a new bank account and everything supaya dia nggak bisa ngikutin lagi...hope that solves the problem. lesson from this: don't be too naive next time..

A new agenda for the supes and new buses for the streets
Anybody who's sat through a Board of Supervisors meeting knows the torture that is waiting for the one item out of dozens you care about.
First, the 11 supervisors debate the minutiae of all the items you don't care about. Then, they each offer commendations for the best restaurant, best small business or best (fill in the blank) in their district. Then, they talk about legislation they're introducing and offer their condolences for residents in their district who have died in the past week.
Then, dozens of people speak at public comment. There's the Jesus devotee who thinks the world is about to end, Walter Paulson, who offers a new song every week (we love you, Walter!), and multiple people with eccentric headgear including, but not limited to, tinfoil hats.
Then, the supervisors get to your item, by which point your parking meter has long expired, your babysitter is pulling her hair out and you need multiple shots of espresso to regain consciousness.
Democracy. Isn't it great?
Come November, you could help change all that. A group calling itself San Franciscans for Open Government, sporting a photo of a meeting attendee asleep in his hands on its website on Thursday will file a proposed ballot measure with the Department of Elections to try to remedy some of these problems.
David Lee, a political science instructor at San Francisco State University, is leading the effort that would require all city public meetings to be streamed live online, allow people to offer public comment remotely and have their testimony appear on monitors at the meeting, and create a "time certain" agenda designation. That means any time 50 members of the public petition for a specific time for their agenda item to be discussed, it will — wait for it — be discussed at the appointed time.
"We've all been there, when you're there for an agenda item you care about and it gets moved and moved and moved," Lee said. "Something that was agendized at 2:30 ends up at midnight. We want to create some certainty in people's lives."
Lee said the current system prevents people with regular jobs, parents, caregivers, students and small-business owners from participating in the government process.
"You look at the diversity of the audience, and does it really match the population that lives here and cares about these issues?" Lee asked. "The idea is to open up government. This is an amendment to bring government into the 21st century and where people are today."
Lee's group will file its measure at 10 a.m. Thursday. Then the city attorney's office will have 15 days to write a title and summary. Then, the group must collect nearly 10,000 signatures of city voters to qualify it for the ballot.

Ah, that new-bus smell: Another crop of shiny new Muni buses are coming soon to a street near you, though that new bus smell probably won't last long.
The first of the new buses — all 60-foot buses that bend in the middle — were unveiled Wednesday at a city Earth Day celebration at Boeddeker Park in the Tenderloin. Sixty of them are electric trolley buses powered by overhead wires, while an additional 61 are diesel-electric hybrid buses that burn biodiesel.
All of them were clean, bright and free of the detritus and odors all too familiar to Muni riders. Two new buses — one of each type — sat on Eddy Street Wednesday morning, parked headed in the wrong direction. They attracted plenty of visitors awed by the pristine vehicles.
The buses are low-floor buses that don't require much of a step up to board. They have more straps, bars and poles to hang onto, and they're painted yellow to make them more visible. They've also got stroller parking spaces and open seating areas in the rear.
Riders accustomed to the long trolley buses will notice that they don't have seats in the accordion zone, the central area where the bus turns. This is for safety reasons, said John Haley, the Municipal Transportation Agency's transit director.
Also missing: some of the familiar signs, replaced mostly with visual images. That includes the classic Muni message: "Information Gladly Given But Safety Requires Avoiding Unnecessary Conversation." Haley said it's part of a campaign to eradicate negative and threatening messaging from buses.
"That's not the environment we want to create," he said.
The 121 new buses are part of an ongoing campaign to expand, modernize and upgrade the Muni fleet. The agency is in the process of buying 200 standard (40-foot) buses and up to 163 articulated low-floor biodiesel-electric hybrid buses. The two new buses shown off Wednesday are being road-tested and should be in service within weeks. The current batch of new trolley buses will arrive between now and May 2016. The new hybrid buses are coming between June and September. More buses will arrive in phases over the next six years.
While the buses are shiny, new and far more pleasant than the beat-up behemoths they'll replace, Haley said it's not looks or comfort but reliability that's the main reason for buying the buses. About 40 percent of Muni delays are attributed to bus breakdowns.

Explained: all the different types of car
Once upon a time, we lived in a far simpler world. Open the Observer's Book of Automobiles and, with a few exceptions, cars could be split into a small number of categories. Saloon, hatchback, estate, coupe, sports and off-roader: clear and simple. Sure, you could find the odd supercar or luxury car, but the point remains, we knew where we stood.
Today, we're faced with crossovers, SAVs, coupes with four doors and 'coupes' that are little more than a cosmetically-challenged SUV with restricted rear headroom and a questionable rump. Yes, we're looking at you, Mercedes-Benz. And don't get us started on the subject of four-door shooting brakes.
Here, we select 20 different types of car and attempt to provide a definition for each one. Where possible, we've included a little background and an example for each classification.
- The best car brands for servicing satisfaction
- London T-Charge: everything you need to know
- Do you know how to use emergency refuge areas on smart motorways?
Defining the hatchback is far simpler than pinpointing the origins of the body style. Some will point to the Aston Martin DB2/4 of the mid-1950s, while others will credit the Innocenti-Austin A40S Combinata, which was very much ahead of the curve.
Our love affair with the hatchback arguably began when Renault launched the iconic 4 in 1961. The wide-opening tailgate presented estate-like loading potential, and more than eight million were produced over three decades.
But the saloon and estate refused to roll over and die, with innovative cars such as the Renault 16 and Austin Maxi failing to propel the hatchback into the mainstream. But things changed in the late 1970s when motorists finally saw the potential of the saloon-cum-wagon.
The Oxford Dictionary defines the hatchback as: "a car with a door across the full width at the back end that opens upwards to provide easy access for loading."
A hatchback might be classed as a three-door or five-door, depending on the configuration, with the tailgate considered to be a door in itself. Today, the three-door hatchback is less popular, with designers working hard to disguise the rear doors.
The current Renault Clio and Suzuki are good examples of the rear door handles integrated within the C-pillar, to create the look of a three-door hatch.
Hot hatch
Without the hatchback, there wouldn't be a hot hatch, which provides the proof that practicality can be fun. Although the hot hatch is seen as an 80s thing, there were fast hatchbacks before the term was used.
Cars such as the Simca 1100 TI, Renault 16 TX, Chrysler Sunbeam TI and Renault 5 Gordini provided the necessary groundwork for the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Peugeot 205 GTI: the first cars to be labelled hot hatches.
For us, a real hot hatch needs to be front-wheel drive, ideally with three doors. That said, a modern hot hatch is just as likely to feature five doors.
"A car having a closed body and a closed boot separated from the part in which the drivers and passengers sit," is how the Oxford Dictionary defines the saloon car.
For generations, the family saloon was a familiar sight on Britain's roads and the car you doodled in your sketchbook during double maths.
The traditional three-box saloon might be a dying breed, but the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 keep the segment alive.
Estate car
For estate car, see Volvo.
Enough said.
Whatever you call it, what we class as a minivan, people carrier or MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) can trace its roots back to the Chrysler Corporation's Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, launched at the tail-end of 1983.
It didn't take long for the rest of the world to catch on, with Renault blazing a trail in Europe with the Matra-designed Espace. It spawned a multitude of competitors, designed from the ground up to carry many passengers – usually five or seven – and their luggage.
Compact MPVs soon followed, often based on the platform and mechanicals of traditional family hatchbacks. Examples include the Renault Megane Scenic and Citroen Xsara Picasso.
Today's MPVs are characterised by flexible seating arrangements and often sliding doors. While the market is in decline, cars such as the Volkswagen Touran, Ford Galaxy and Citroen C4 Picasso remain faithful to the concept of practicality over style.
An SUV is a Sport Utility Vehicle, a term used historically to categorise a 4×4 or off-road vehicle. The SUV has its roots in military-derived vehicles, such as the Willys Jeep and Land Rover.
As time moved on, the SUV became less workmanlike and more lifestyle-led. The Jeep Wagooner pioneered the idea of a sport utility vehicle long before the term was first used, feeling more car-like than any other 4×4 on the market.
Other SUVs soon followed, most notably the Range Rover, which first appeared in 1970. Early SUVs offered an off-road bias, with some feeling a tad primitive and unwieldy on the road, but today we expect them to offer a perfect blend of on- and off-road capabilities.
They come in all shapes and sizes, from the Suzuki Jimny compact 4×4 to the Bentley Bentayga, which is the fastest SUV ever built. Whatever, to be classed as an SUV, we'd expect a car to offer a commanding driving position, a practical interior and some off-road skills.
This is where things get slightly trickier. You'll have heard the 'crossover' word being bandied about in the motoring press, but Joe Public might not have a clue what the word actually means.
In essence, a crossover is a car with the lofty suspension and practicality of an SUV, but with the running costs of a family hatchback. In other words, more urban-roader than off-roader.
The lines have been blurred by the increasingly car-like and more efficient SUVs, which spend more time on the road than off it. In our book at least, a crossover should be two-wheel drive, while an SUV should offer four-wheel-drive capabilities.
But then you find four-wheel drive variants of traditional crossovers and the lines become blurred once again…
The claim that Nissan invented the crossover when it unveiled the Qashqai in 2006 is nonsense, although it unquestionably led to the introduction of the term.
In respect of a front-wheel drive-crossover, the Matra Rancho led the way, although the world wasn't quite ready for a car with off-road styling but next-to-no off-road ability. You could also point to the AMC Eagle as a crossover pioneer, although its inclusion would shoot a hole through the idea that a crossover should be front-wheel drive.
It's a tough one. For now, can we all agree that a crossover is a daft name, but if it must be used, it needs to denote a front-wheel-drive vehicle with SUV styling and family car-like running costs?
Good, moving on.
City car
There should be no problems describing a city car, which is a small, fuel-efficient vehicle that is best suited to urban driving.
The BMW Isetta, Fiat Nuova 500 and Mini were early pioneers of the cutesy urban car concept, while today's city cars might offer up to five doors and the level of kit you'd expect to find on a much larger and more expensive vehicle.
According to Austin 1100 Club historian, Chris Morris, the 1100 "was the first supermini, as we know them today." You can understand the logic: here was a natural extension of the Mini, with compact proportions and a roomy interior.
Today, the Ford Fiesta is the archetypal supermini, with a size falling between a city car and a family hatchback, cheap running costs, and as good to drive in town as it is on a long journey.
A coupe is traditionally a closed two-door car with a fixed roof, either with two seats or with two additional seats in the rear (known as a 2+2).
Some of the German brands have attempted to stretch the definition by creating four-door coupes, but in reality, these tend to be nothing more than four-door saloons with restricted rear headroom.
In Europe, only the Germans purchase more convertibles than the British. Turns out our far-from-tropical climate is no barrier to getting the top down at any given opportunity.
A convertible – or cabriolet – is four-seater or 2+2 with a removable or folding roof. Examples include the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet, Mini Convertible and Range Rover Evoque Convertible.
The words are mostly interchangeable, with 'Cabriolet' a French word first used in the 18th century to describe a light horse-drawn carriage. Convertible has more modern origins.
Once again, the word 'roadster' has its origins in the equine world. In the 19th century, the term was used to describe a horse with an ability to draw a carriage over vast distances in a single day.
From an automotive perspective, a roadster is an open sports car with seating for two, with the MGB and Triumph Spitfire two prime examples from the past. Today, the Mazda MX-5 is the archetypal roadster.
A Targa top is a semi-convertible body style with a removable roof section and a full-width roll bar behind the seats. The name was first used by Porsche when it unveiled the 911 Targa in 1965, with the German firm having the foresight to trademark before the launch.
The 911 wasn't the first car to feature a Targa roof. In 1961, Triumph created a 'Surrey Top' for the TR4, with the equivalent of a rear section of a hardtop and a removable canvas to bridge the gap between the windscreen and the rear of the car.
Sports car
Defining a sports car is a bit like explaining the offside rule to a non-footballist: in your head, it's easy to grasp, but try educating somebody on the subject.
Google 'what is a sports car', and you'll find that subject is the cause of some debate. "No one knows what 'sports car' actually means anymore," proclaims Road & Track, while Jalopnik asks: "What is a sports car, exactly?"
Things were simpler in the black and white days of Terry Thomas. A sports car was an open two-seater with just enough power to perform. A chariot built with entertainment in mind, along with post-Sunday lunch galivanting through the countryside with your significant other. Ding dong.
An MGB was a sports car. A Ford Capri wasn't. A Porsche 718 Boxster is a sports car. A Ford Mustang isn't. And yet all four cars were built in the name of fun, with practicality sitting further down the list of priorities.
But where does the 'open two-seater' definition leave cars like the Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ and Jaguar F-Type Coupe? Nobody could deny their sporting intent, but are they more 'sports coupe' than the classic definition of a sports car?
Does it matter? Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
Euro NCAP uses the 'executive' tag to categorise cars such as the BMW 5 Series, Jaguar XF, Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. In other words, cars slightly larger than the archetypal company motor.
There's an aspirational quality to the executive car, seen as a cut above the ordinary family runabout. Something for middle managers to aim for: the carrot used as a motivational tool by MDs and CEOs.
The Vauxhall Carlton was the carrot for Cavalier drivers. See also: Granada and Cortina, 605 and 405, and Safrane and Laguna.
Today, as carmakers push further upmarket, the 'executive' tag is more far-reaching. Everything from the Ford Mondeo to the Tesla Model S can be classed as an executive, with size no longer a barrier to entry. Which is why the 'exec' label fits the BMW 3 Series and the 5 Series.
There's a distinct gap between a premium motor and a luxury car. To be considered luxurious, a car must leave nothing to chance in the pursuit of perfection. The most exquisite materials, impeccable craftsmanship and, in today's world, the most cutting-edge technology.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8 are luxury cars, as is anything built by Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
From the sublime to the, er… ridiculous. Actually, that's a little unfair, because the Renault Twizy can be a barrel of laughs, given the right set of circumstances.
It's just that a quadricycle isn't really a car. Instead, the EU places the four-wheeled vehicle in the same category as mopeds, motorcycles and motor tricycles.
There are two sub-categories: light and heavy quadricycles. Nip across to France, and you'll find a multitude of these tiny, low-powered and lightweight vehicles. The predominant brands are Aixam and Ligier.
What is a supercar? Again, it's a hard question to answer, but it provides a useful extra layer above and beyond a standard sports car.
Perhaps it would be easier to start by naming the first supercar: the genesis of the breed. But this will spark yet another debate.
Was it the Bugatti 57SC Atlantic of 1936? Maybe the Mercedes-Benz 300SL of 1954? How about the Lamborghini Miura of 1966? A tough call, but the trio helps to form a precise definition of what makes a supercar.
What do you they have in common? An expensive price tag, exhilarating performance, drop-dead gorgeous styling and the capacity to make grown men (and women) go weak at the knees.
Above all else, if a child makes room on their bedroom wall for a poster of said car, then it is almost certainly a supercar. Think Ferrari 812 Superfast, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Lamborghini Huracan.
"We can agree that both supercars and hypercars are expensive, exotic and fast. The difference between them is really a matter of extremeness. And in the case of companies with multiple models, the car's position in the model line.
"No hypercar has a more expensive or more exclusive corporate sibling." Maxim presents a pretty decent summation of the supercar versus hypercar debate.
Maxim goes on to claim that the Bugatti Veyron was "probably the first bona fide hypercar," which is something many people would agree with. Although we'd also add an honourable mention for the McLaren F1.
It's all about excess and pushing the boundaries. The McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari, Bugatti Chiron and Rimac Concept One are 100% hypercar.
We conclude our rundown of the different car classifications with an easy one: the pick-up. There are various types – double cab, crew cab, single cab – but thanks to the Ford F-Series, the pick-up is the best-selling vehicle in the world.
Agree or disagree with our definitions? Let us know. In the meantime, we're off to ask BMW why it felt the need to invent the Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) tag, as well as sending a 'cease and desist' letter to Mercedes-Benz concerning its SUV coupes.

LEWISTON, ME – The 18th-ranked Amherst College women's lacrosse team closed a 6-1 deficit down to 8-7 with 2:35 to go in regulation, but Bates College finished the game with four unanswered goals for a 12-7 NESCAC victory Saturday at Garcelon Field.
Jenna Dannis scored four goals and added two assists, including two goals and one assist in the final 1:42, to lead the Bobcats (3-4, 2-2 NESCAC) to their first win over a ranked opponent this season. Joan O'Neill added four goals and one assist, and Briana Gross contributed two goals and two assists.
Jenn Brallier, the reigning NESCAC Player of the Week, also contributed a pair of goals along with a game-high six draw controls. Mara Krueger made eight saves, including four key stops early on that allowed Bates to hold Amherst scoreless for the first 23:51 of the opening half. Bates dominated draw controls by a 16-4 margin in the game.
Marta Randall '13 (Monkton, MD), who entered the game leading Amherst (4-3, 1-3) with 19 goals, was held scoreless for the first 51 minutes of the game, but she finished with a team-high two goals. MC McClellan '14 (Denver, CO) played the final 39:11 in net for Amherst and made four saves against eight goals allowed. Lamia Harik '12 (Rye Brook, NY) started and allowed four goals while stopping one shot.
Bates led wire to wire, beginning with Gross's unassisted tally less than six minutes in, which answered a pair of long Amherst possessions that went scoreless. After Dannis scored two straight, O'Neill slung a shot past Harik while falling over to make it 4-0 with 9:11 to go in the first period. Hillary Densen '13 (Summit, NJ) got Amherst on the board three minutes later, bringing the score to 4-1 before the break.
O'Neill assisted Brallier's 17th goal of the year to open the scoring in the second half, and the junior attacker added her second goal of the game with 24:51 to go, putting Bates on top 6-1. Amherst answered with a 4-0 run that started with free-position scores by Natalie Dugan '13 (Washington, DC), Alex Philie '14 (East Sandwich, MA) and Caroline Holliday '14 (Newark, DE).
After an eight-minute scoreless drought for both teams, Randall came through with her first goal of the game. Using a brilliant spin move to get past two Bates defenders, Randall finished from close range to close Amherst's gap to 6-5 with 8:51 left in the game.
O'Neill was awarded a free-position shot soon after Bates controlled the ensuing draw, and she stuck it in the net to end Amherst's run and give Bates some breathing room at 7-5 with 8:16 to go. With 6:58 left in the game Gross made a nice catch and scored in traffic for an 8-5 advantage.
After Krueger saved a free-position shot by Randall, the Jeffs retained control and got a goal by Kelley Trapp '11 (Monterey, CA) on an assist by Meredith LaRose '12 (Cranford, NJ) with 4:10 left. Amherst then closed the gap down to 8-7 with 2:35 to go, when Randall converted a free-position shot.
Rather than killing the clock, Bates won each draw control down the stretch and scored on four straight shots. Dannis found the back of the net with 0.8 seconds left on the clock for the final margin of 12-7. First-year SooHee Yoon had a stellar defensive game for the Bobcats with four ground balls, four draw controls and two caused turnovers. Philie led Amherst with four ground balls and two caused turnovers.
The Lord Jeffs will return to action Thursday, Apr. 7, when they travel to take on Wheaton College at 5 p.m.
