Happy Easter & Easter-themed Nail Art Tutorial!11:34 PM
Happy happy Easter everybody! I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter this year. I know I don't talk about religion much on here but I just want to say that I love that Easter is the one holiday that is unabashedly about Jesus. It's definitely a day where we are reminded not to take our lives, spirituality, or others for granted. <3
Even just the thought of what went down so many years ago really humbles me. I'm so thankful for Jesus doing the dang thang since he is the whole reason why I do what I do and am who I am. I plan on spending the day with family, talking with God, and eating LOTS OF GREAT FOOD! :D
I also love the cuteness that comes along with Easter. When I was around 7 a picture was taken for the newspaper of me holding a little white bunny at the Easter petting zoo. I felt like such a rock star in my ruffled lavender dress! The pastel colors and themes of sweet childhood bring me nostalgia and good memories: Easter eggs, baby chicks, and bunny rabbits.
In lieu of that, I decided to make a video tutorial for Easter nails. Honestly I didn't have a plan for what I would do exactly until I sat down, but these brains of mine are particularly handy at coming up with such things on the fly. ;)
Products used:
Seche Natural (base coat)
Seche Vite Top Coat
China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint
Essie St. Barths Blue
China Glaze Happy Go Lucky
China Glaze Something Sweet
China Glaze Light As Air
Heaven polish in White
Migi Nail Art Pens (black, natural, red)
pink dotting tool set (from www.naildelights.com)
I was super happy with how it turned out! I know all the lines aren't perfect but hey, this is Easter not the Sistine Chapel. This is the first time I really used the Migi Nail Art pens and they were pretty easy to use although they did need to be squeezed and shaken before use otherwise they come out watery. I recommend testing it on a piece of plastic before going straight to the nail.
The dotting tools are my new best friends though. I'd been just using toothpicks up until now. So ghetto. Did anyone notice I used the back of a Black Pearl My Beauty Diary Mask for my blotting plastic? Doubly ghetto.
Anyway, hope you all have a fantastic Easter wherever you are, however you celebrate it! Did you do anything special with your makeup, nails, fashion, or hair for Easter? Share with me in the comments!
Note: Migi Nail Art pens were provided by the company, China Glaze Light As Air and Happy Go Lucky were provided by the company, and dotting tools were provided by www.naildelights.com. All other polishes were bought by me. :)

The Midwest's Best Cookie Recipes
Salty Caramel and Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies come with a friendly warning: Chewy caramel, toasted pecans and a flurry of sea salt will make you popular. Very popular. A product called caramel bits gives these cookies great flavor and chewy texture. Some supermarkets carry them, and they're widely available online. (Search for Kraft Caramel Bits.) Take care to follow recipe directions when baking: caramel bits melt quickly.
Cocoa and Brown Butter Shortbread Bites
Browned butter infuses irresistible nuttiness into these four-ingredient cookies without sullying their essential simplicity or sandy texture. Dip them in satiny chocolate for effortless glamor.
Caramel Apple Cookies
Chopped apple, pecans, apple juice, apple pie spice and more combine for a hearty, delicious cookie. The frosting and nuts add just the right touch of sweetness and crunch on top.
Peanut Butter Temptations
Calling all peanut butter fans! These cookies offer double-the-PB compared to the classic peanut blossom cookie with a chocolate kiss on top. And they couldn't be easier.
Gingersnap Gems
The recipe for these sweet and spicy cookies comes from the Warren family in Stanley, Kansas. The gingersnaps are a favorite at family gatherings.
Coconut Macaroons
In all our years of testing, we've rarely found a cookie recipe as crazy-simple as this reliable crowd-pleaser. These cookies taste great au naturel--but dipping the bottoms in chocolate adds easy decadence (and looks eye-catching on a cookie tray).
Our Own Dream Cookies
It's not easy satisfying everyone, but this cookie from the Midwest Living® Test Kitchen tries to meet the challenge! It's packed with oatmeal, chocolate, peanut butter and nuts.
S'More Cookies, Please
Cinnamon, brown sugar, oats and finely crushed grahams shape this moist cookie made even more irresistible with a thumbprint filling of marshmallow creme and an upside-down milk chocolate candy.
Lindsay's Chocolate Cafe Chocolate Chip Cookies
This cookie, from the former Lindsay's Chocolate Cafe and Coffee House in O'Fallon, Missouri, wowed us with its flavor-packed lineup of ingredients. "These are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! " says one of our website reviewers. "These are wonderful with a glass of cold milk while the cookie is still warm!"
Lemon Curd and Shortbread
Make eating cookies an interactive experience by serving them alongside a jar of sweet-tart homemade lemon curd. The recipes come from Andy Schudlich of Epicure Catering and Cherry Basket Farm in Michigan.
Pie Cookies
At Sister Pie in Detroit, they make these buttery, buttercream- or ganache-filled sandwich cookies from scraps of dough leftover from making pies. You can do the same, storing them in the freezer until you have enough. Or just make a fresh batch of pastry—it's worth it! The recipe comes from cafe owner Lisa Ludwinski's debut cookbook, Sister Pie.
Miss Rosa Lee's Oatmeal Cookies
Nothing fancy here; this is the perfectly chewy lunchbox classic, pebbled with walnuts and plump raisins. A combination of vegetable oil and butter ensures a chewy texture and rich flavor. This recipe comes from Patty Pinner's cookbook Sweets (crownpublishing.com).
Lemon-Pecan Shortbread Cookies
Irresistible tangy lemon and rich pecans flavor one of the easiest cookies around: buttery shortbread. Serve with a cool dish of ice cream in the summer or a hot cup of tea in winter.
Mrs. Truman's Coconut Cookies
Here's our version of Bess Truman's coconut cookie recipe from the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri. We added the fruit.
Honey-Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
Chicago chef Myk Banas created these utterly delicious and subtly sophisticated cookies.
Honey-Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
Orange-Ginger Cookie Sandwiches
A round cookie cutter with scalloped edges makes a nice shape for these cookies, but bell, tree or star cutters would also be good choices for the holidays.
Mindy Segal's Chocolate Chip Cookies
These to-die-for cookies use special chocolate and two kinds of salt, and they call for an overnight chill—and you can absolutely taste the difference. Because of the expense and time involved, we don't recommend them for any old weekend, but they are incredible for a gift or other special occasion. The recipe comes from Chicago chef Mindy Segal's cookbook Cookie Love.
Opal's Walnut Shortbread Cookies
Patrick Groth, owner-chef of Incredibly Delicious bakery in Springfield, Illinois, uses his grandmother's recipe for these cookies. "Use the best walnuts you have and fresh butter," he advises.
Fantasy Chocolate-Caramel Delights
"I love caramel, nuts and chocolate," says the Mandan, North Dakota, reader who sent this recipe to a Midwest Living® cookie contest. Fantasy Chocolate-Caramel Delights were one of the highest-rated cookies in the contest.
Chocolatey Shortbread Bites
Because this recipe makes so many cookies, you might want to freeze some dough for future use. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week. Or freeze in a freezer container for up to 6 months; thaw in refrigerator before use.
Peanut Butter Munchies
A Hanover, Kansas, reader sent the recipe for these chocolate cookies with peanut butter centers to a Midwest Living® cookie contest. A judge described them as "regally rich chocolate with a peanut butter kick."
Double Chocolate-Cherry Cookies
Carol Schneider of Wausau, Wisconsin, brought home a blue ribbon when she entered these cookies at the Wisconsin State Fair. The recipe combines white and semisweet chocolate with dried cherries and walnuts.
Kansas Sunflower Cookies
Seeds from the Sunflower State star in this crunchy favorite, along with rolled oats and shredded coconut. The recipe is from a Mulberry, Kansas, reader.
Hazelnut-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
We loaded these crisp and chewy chocolate chip cookies with white and chocolate chips along with toasted hazelnuts.
Aunt Hilda's Sugar Dream Cookies
The recipe for these big, soft sugar cookies was contributed by Mellissa Deyo, former owner of Jerabek's Bohemian Coffeehouse and Bakery in Saint Paul. "It's my Great-Aunt Hilda's recipe, which has been in my dad's family for 50 years or more," Mellissa says. "It's my favorite!"
Strawberry-Coconut Thumbprints
Linda Roberts of Rapid City, South Dakota, tops her buttery cream cheese, coconut-coated cookie with fruit jam.
Chocolate Nut Revels
A luscious chocolate and pecan mixture swirls throughout these festive cookies.
Awesome Chocolate-Peanut Blowout Cookies
What makes these cookies so awesome? "Special ingredients," says the Marion, Ohio, reader who contributed the recipe, which includes chocolate and peanut butter. "I like them because they're decadent yet so easy to make."
Triple-Flavored Big-Batch Cookies
Chocolate chips, peanut butter and oatmeal pack these cookies from a Door County, Wisconsin, bed-and-breakfast. Because this recipe makes so many cookies, you might want to freeze some dough for future use.
Chocolate-Caramel Pecan Clusters
Pecans form the base for a gooey caramel topping crowned with semisweet chocolate and white chocolate pieces.
Valencia Delights
Orange and chocolate: a cookie match that tempts everyone to take seconds. This recipe comes from Jill Drury in Milwaukee, who loved to bake cookies with her grandmother. "For the longest time I couldn't decide which cookie I liked best, until one day Grandma had me mix my favorite flavors: chocolate and orange," she says.
Pistachio Cranberry Icebox Cookies
These cookies from the Inn at Cedar Falls in Logan, Ohio, make a colorful treat anytime of year.
Chocolate Lovers' Oatmeal Delight
Crisp on the outside and fudgy on the inside, these easy drop cookies feature semisweet chocolate pieces as well as peanut butter-flavored pieces. Unsweetened cocoa powder punches up the chocolate flavor.
Lemon Hazelnut Sea Salt Cookies
Many cookies call for just citrus zest, but these soft gems use a lot of juice, too, so they've got the same tart kick as lemon bars. They're a perfect match for hot tea. The recipe comes from The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook (University of Minnesota Press, $29.95).
Cinnamon-Cardamom Crisps
Great with coffee or as an afternoon snack, these cookies combine the spicy flavors of cinnamon and cardamom, with sliced almonds on top.
Hunka Chocolate Cookies
This recipe will satisfy chocolate lovers' cravings with semisweet chocolate pieces, unsweetened chocolate, melted white chocolate and melted semisweet chocolate. Just a half a cup of flour goes into this fudgy delight.
Molasses Cookies
Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside: This spice cookie has it all. It's a state fair prizewinning recipe from Catherine Blackwood of Columbus, Ohio.
Oatmeal-Cherry Cookies
Dried cherries make oatmeal cookies even more memorable in this recipe from American Spoon Foods, which has locations in the Traverse City, Michigan, area. We like the cookies' crisp edges and chewy centers.
Marjorie's Chocolate Chip Cookies
Marjorie Johnson of Robbinsdale, Minnesota, won one of her 2,500 state fair ribbons with this recipe. It's also part of her cookbook, The Road to Blue Ribbon Baking.
Lemon Walnut Biscotti
Biscotti gets its crunch from twice-baking. This citrus-speckled recipe comes from the former Inn at Kristofer's in Sister Bay, Wisconsin.

Trolltech has announced the availability of the first Qt 4 Technical Preview. Qt 4, the next major release of the popular cross-platform C++ application framework which KDE is based on, is scheduled for final release in late Q1, 2005. Read the online documentation or jump to the download page.
Five new technologies, codenamed Arthur, Scribe, Interview, Tulip, and Mainwindow are being incorporated into the next major version of Qt 4.0. The technologies are:
- Arthur: The new painting framework
- Scribe: The Unicode text renderer with a public API for performing low-level text layout
- Interview: A model/view architecture for item views
- Tulip: A new set of template container classes
- Mainwindow: A modern action-based mainwindow/toolbar/menu and docking architecture
This is a preview of some of the Qt 4 libraries, not of the entire application development framework. Most notably, new versions of Qt Designer and Qt Linguist are not included. The Technology Preview is meant to be tested on a limited set of platforms only.
Qt 4 still is in a very active state of development. Not everything is ready for prime time, and there are significant omissions. Most importantly, this Technology Preview is not meant to be used in production code or even for application development. Not all backwards compatibility functionality is in place yet but you're able to write small programs.
Does anyone know how is Qt4 going to do in terms of speed ? I think I read some time ago that one of the focuses for Qt4 was to speed up the libraries, besides adding functionality, but I don't see any reference to this in the Public Release info ...
Lots of tunning. QString, moc etc. expecting a good bump in startup and speed.
Thanks Ben, looking forward to it ! This, together with a standard objprelink for Linux, plus KDE-libs optimizations, will overall get an even snappier KDE !!!!!!
Being slightly pedantic: objprelink has nothing to do with Linux, it addresses an issue with gcc's C++ implementation. Any system that uses gcc will be subject to the same problem. If you use a different C++ complier for Linux (does anybody?), you don't have the problem. And yes, gcc has addressed the problem directly, so it's an issue that will fade away.
>Being slightly pedantic:
You are correct in all of this.
That's what I love about Linux. My old piece of crap computer is getting faster all the time.. From kernel 2.4 to 2.6, from KDE 3.1 to 3.2, etc.
In a few years I'll have to downgrade :D
LOL this is exactly my idea about this ;-)
An old P350 with 128mgs of Ram feels snappier with KDE3.3 than with KDE 3.1.
Does the upgrade from 2.4 Kernel to 2.6 improves performance, too? If so, I'll certainly upgrade the kernel on this slackware box...
The new kernel is a tad bit snappier on interactive loads, but these improvements has been available for 2.4 as patches for some time. So you may already have them if you are running a distro kernel.
SuSE 8.2 with KDE 3.1 and Linux 2.4.20 felt snappier to me then
SUSE 9.1 with KDE 3.2 and Linux 2.6.4, so I downgraded.
(on a mobile P2 400MHz with 160MB RAM)
Well, this is SuSE specific, cause SuSE is a well overloaded Distribution
which (my opinion) is not at all made to achieve the maximum performance!
Slackware doesn't include any of these patches in its default kernels....
To answer the question one layer up: Yes, 2.6 speeds things up. It's a noticable speed increase on all my systems. It may not like your super-old hardware, though, if it is, indeed, super-old.
I heard that Qt 4 would be broken up so that a command-line program could link to it and not have to drag in all the GUI stuff it won't use. Is that still happening?
I think I've something about, qt4 should be compatible to qt3.
Thanks for answers!
Yes, but not without some changes to the build environment and possible also the sources. It's meant be easily portable for developers, not to be completely source compatible.
No, qt4 is not binary compatible with qt3.
no.. quite a few changes are needed... which is why kde 4.0 will be a new release
Well, it is written in the announcement !
"Compatibility with Qt 3: In order to minimize the work to migrate to Qt 4, Trolltech will provide comprehensive porting documents, tools and libraries. Most importantly, Qt 4 will provide an extension library that applications based on Qt 3 can link against to use obsolete classes. Using a separate library allows us to provide more compatibility than ever before, without bloating the Qt library with redundant functionality. This also means that developers can gradually begin to take advantage of Qt 4 features while continuing to use familiar Qt 3 functionality. "
I think this is optimal. Everyonce in a while backwards compatibility needs to be broken to implement fundamental changes. But the choice of a compat library is a great decision they made.
In the end, I think that both Qt and KDE should aim at keeping a very slow pace for jumping into "incompatible" versions, so that they can give a stable dev target to developers ... and I think they are doing a great job at it. I just hope the next jump in KDE (4.*) is designed with a life/cycle of a few years. At least two or three. KDE is already a mature platform :-)
What about QTopia... does anybody know if Qt4 will be good enough to be the base for the next QTopia ?
Go Qt go! :D
From what I know it might be based on Qt4 but if you want a Free Software Palmtop Environment look at http://opie.handhelds.org we're surely interested in Qt4.
How much interested are you ?
First, I need the hardware in which I could run a Free Software Palmtop Environment ;)
From reading the texts, it looks really great at the moment.
I'm especially interested in the "interview" model/view framework.
This will sure speed up programs that deal with rather large amounts of data.
The example apps have been stripped out of the preview (for size i presume), but in its place are several demos and boy are they eye candy. swirling alphablended boxes that are stretching and moving in 3d. :) yum. worth compiling just to play around with the arthur demo.
Darn it, I don't want screenshots - I want video capture! :)
Of course, I run very multihead, so I don't have 3D acceleration at all. I wonder how it will perform.
I was wondering, too -- as well as being a little afraid that a lot of the work we're currently doing for Krita would be obsolete, but that worry proves to be unnecessary -- and I noticed that performance of the alphablended primitives was a bit sluggish with plain X11/XRender (nvidia card, nv driver), and that it was quite smooth with the nvidia driver and presumably OpenGL, but that it meant X took 100% CPU.
Yes ,could some brave soul please post videos somewhere. Now I know there is more eyecandy to explore I can't wait to see it.
please, please, please
has qt always had 'foreach' iterators or is this new in qt4?
I can't wait for qt4
/me drools
It's new in qt4.
They really feel like python looks right ? Cool!
#### Python:
for s in a_list:
sum += len(s)
#### Qt4:
foreach (QString s, list)
sum += s.length();
Errata: I meant so say "python loops". Oh, and the indentation got eaten by the text formatting ;-)
I hope they made use os gcc´s symbol visibility option in version 3.5. Then Kde will fly even more!
Does anyone know if Trolltech is considering providing C++ exception support within Qt soon? I know I've read that it's been a vague/opinionated problem in the past (bloat/lack of compiler support), but it's not much of an issue today. Some people may disagree with exception-based error-handling but I personally love the concept, and have been spoiled coming from the Python world. It's one of the few downsides I see against using it for C++ development.
As far I know, it would break compatibility with gcc < 2.95. I'm not sure if Qt or KDE wishes to do this, and would imagine it's one of the major reasons they're not sported, rather than a programming dislike. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
One of the gcc 2.95 holdouts had been FreeBSD and my understanding is that they are looking at making the move to gcc 3x in the next few months. I'm not sure but I think that it's possible stable Debian may be another holdout, but given even the longest life expectancies of a platform it seems reasonable to expect that by next year when KDE 4 is coming out the gcc 2.95 issue could be history.
Not with gcc-3.x being 2x-3x times slower at building things.
FreeBSD already shifted to gcc 3.x quite some time ago. Currently I am using gcc 3.3.3. Not the cutting edge, but a darned sight newer than 2.95. The move has already been made and there's nothing left to do except declare the 5.x branch stable...
The problem with using exceptions in a library is that it forces the user to also use exceptions. If the user does not, than every minor extraneous error is going to crash their application. For example, access a file without the necessary permissions, and the program rudely crashes. In addition there is the tar-pit problem to worry about. While the geniuses at Trolltech are certainly capable of navigating the exception tar-pits, most users are not. See for more information.
Hm, but isn't the word "crash" wrong for this situation. I mean, if an exception is not caught, the program terminates in a controlled manner.
Also, the forcing argument has some problems. The first is, it goes either way: If Qt uses exceptions, users are forced to use them. If Qt does not use them, users are forced to use another error reporting scheme. Currently it is not even unproblematic to use exception in you own code if you use Qt, because some users could have compiled Qt without exception support. This will lead to crashes. So Trolltech should at least make a clear statement that Qt 4 should be compiled with exception support.
The second problem with the argument is, that properly used, exceptions do not really force users so much. For example, with the file permissions you described, there return code as error reporting would probably still be used. If exceptions were only used for truly "exceptional" circumstances, users would probably be content with not handling exceptions, and just terminating the program. Of course this depends quite a bit how thouroughly exceptions would really be used.
1) While "crash" was the incorrect word, I doubt users will much care about the distinction.
2) The "forcing" is a problem. I cannot choose to ignore an exception. I must handle it or my application terminates. But I can ignore an error, even safely in some circumstances.
3) If exceptions were only used for "exceptional" situations, it wouldn't be too bad. But what guarantee will there be of that? This is an area of policy, and without seeing that policy and the mechanisms to enforce it, I simply can't trust it. What's to stop some C++ "purist" at Trolltech from propogating a close() error as an exception?
4) I agree that Qt should be compiled with exception support, even it if doesn't use exceptions itself.
I do not have a problem with using exceptions. I do have a problem with using them in a library, and a lower level library at that, however.
I think not having exceptions in Qt is the major weakness of Qt. All other methods of error handling just lead to massive code bloat.
I assume you mean some sort of Device::close() in your example. You should not ignore an error on close() if that handles a file descriptor for instance, because then there is something seriously wrong with your program.
"Forcing" is not the problem, its us programmers to forget to handle possible errors. Too many people are just too lazy, postpose error handling and forget about it after a while.
And yes, 'crash' is the wrong word, because if there was a QBaseError or something you could just catch that in main() and the program would always terminate with at least an error message, if you forgot to catch the exception at the proper place. Big difference.
The trouble with forcing exceptions to be managed is simply that the majority of programmers don't have time to manage every error, or know every error that might be thrown in a given situation. The classic problem, or course, is whether to continue with potentially bad data/state, or to fail. Exceptions ensure the latter in most cases.
Personally, I prefer being able to explicitly handle errors myself knowing what might potentially happen and how critically it will affect my data and running integrity.
The danger of requiring expressions is best expressed by reference to many, many, many pieces of Java code that are running around with:
catch (Exception e)
It turns up much the same arguments as strong vs. loosely/dynamically typed languages.
I have seen a bit of C++ code, and I have never seen that style, i.e. writing catch-blocks but not doing anything in them. I suspect that almost no C++ programmer would come up with this idea. I have not seen much Java code, but I think there is the difference of checked exceptions, which do not exist in C++ in the way of Java. Such checked exceptions could lead to that style of coding. So, what I am trying to say is basically, this misuse of exceptions will not be seen in C++.
Also, you will not loose any control of handling errors if exceptions are used. Of course, if you really want to deal with *all* exceptions yourself, surround you code with a catch-all handler. A different question is, if that makes sense (Usually not).
I also think that your argument that many programmers do not have the time to manage every error is a very good one in favour of exceptions, since the default behaviour of terminating if nothing is done is the right thing to do then.
I am sorry but terminating is not a good solution: the unsaved document... lost! So for me, it is little different than a crash, so perhaps it is not an abrupt crash but a more controlled one.
(Perhaps you will tell me that you can make an emergency save while for a real crash you cannot. But the end-user will not care, for him it is and remains a crash, as the program has terminated abnormaly.)
Have a nice day!
Yeah, it is not entirely unproblematic. But I really think ignoring errors is worse. Think of an abnormal situation which prevents an application from being able to save a document. Suppose this condition is detected while opening the file which is being worked on. Suppose that is ignored. The user will be happy with editing his important document, and only after he has made his changes, working for some time, out of a sudden, his data will be lost because he can not save. If the application would have terminated right at the start, I think that would have been the better alternative.
Have a nice Saturday night!
Well, QIODevice::close has no return value. So we are always ignoring what happens at closing time in KDE...
Have a nice day!
wow, that sucks!
The application is closing down. Who gives a fuck?
The filesystem may not have finished writing the data when close() returns. If it hasn't, you can find out by checking the return value of close(). Many apps really should check the return value of close(), especially when there's a even the slightest chance the file is on an NFS partition.

The Biz: Can These Shows Be Saved?
When the networks decide which programs to pick up for fall and which ones to ax, it's not only about the Nielsen numbers. "There is more financial analysis going on than ratings analysis," says one executive. Here are the prognoses for a few series fighting for survival.
Happy Endings
Finding a home for Happy Endings since it moved from Wednesday and away from its strong lead-in Modern Family has been tough (it now airs on Tuesday, a night full of comedies). And its scheduling options are limited, since ABC still embraces the concept of family hour and avoids airing shows with racy content before 9pm. Happy Endings is popular with the network's ad-sales department, since the audience has a high concentration of viewers with incomes over $100,000. The question is, are there enough of them? With only 2.9 million people tuning in to the Jan. 29 episode, maybe not.
The Music City drama hasn't attracted the kind of audience it deserves based on the critical raves it has received. But it's making money, and ABC's other fall dramas (like Last Resort) fizzled fast. Marketing new shows gets harder and more expensive every season, so ABC is likely to stick with Nashville and hope its viewership can grow.
NBC often wins Parenthood's Tuesday-at-10pm time slot among broadcast networks in the 18-49 age group that advertisers covet. That should make it a sure thing for a fifth season, right? Not necessarily: The large and expensive cast could be an obstacle. If Parenthood returns, don't be surprised if there's a budget-related family tragedy that thins the herd. Another route the show can take is to keep the entire cast on board but not for every episode, as ABC did with Brothers and Sisters in its later seasons.
Eleven million seems like a lucky number for any new show. Not CBS' Vegas. Despite the large average audience, it hasn't fared well with the 18-49 demographic. (Not even close: The median viewer age is 60.7.) Nor does it generate the kind of online buzz that serialized shows typically do (yes, network executives pay attention to that). With its high-priced cast, including Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, and feature film-worthy production design, Vegas is too expensive to move to Friday, where there are plenty of older viewers but where programming costs need to be low. Don't bet on this one to come back.
The Mindy Project
The Mindy Kaling-led Fox comedy hasn't shown any sign of being popular enough to lead off a night next season. "They chopped Ben and Kate, and it wasn't doing that much worse than Mindy," says one rival network exec. "It depends how many comedies they need next fall." Mindy does have supporters at the network who like the show creatively; one insider gives it a 75 percent chance of returning.
The Carrie Diaries
The CW's Carrie Diaries is an example of how online streaming is changing the TV business. The network's deals with Hulu and Netflix to carry its shows are based on the number of episodes produced. So even if The Carrie Diaries isn't a hit the night it airs, if viewership remains steady, it might just come back.

Are There Any Underrated Distilleries?
A few years ago, I posted lists of the three most overrated and underrated distilleries. I was thinking of doing it again, but I ran into a problem. It's easy to come up with overrated whiskeys; heck, with the whiskey craze in full gear, sometimes I feel like almost everything is overrated. The problem is, I'm not sure I can think of any distillery or company that is underrated.
Back in 2012, my three most underrated distilleries were Glengoyne, Four Roses and Charbay with runners up George Dickel, Midleton, Bunnahabhain, Dallas Dhu and Glenfiddich. A few of those are still underrated, but many of them wouldn't qualify today. Certainly Four Roses has gotten its due from the whiskey geek crowd (my list preceded the release of the highly acclaimed 2012 Small Batch Limited Edition which set off a full-on Four Roses craze), and Midleton has released a whole flurry of single pot still whiskeys that have put them on the geek map. You could probably still make a case for Dickel, though it's getting more recognition with its private barrel program. Bunnahabhain may be the one that still fits the bill, but who else?
Are there any other distilleries that could remotely be considered underrated in today's whiskey world?
46 comments:
I think Benriach gets very little love considering how consistently good and interesting their whiskies are. They do sherried, unsherried, peated, unpeated, PX-finished, triple-distilled, etc. And they're all pretty damn good.
- May 12, 2014 at 8:42 AM
Despite the fact that it puts out a lot of standard lower-mid-shelf stuff, the Wiser's distillery is responsible for some the best Canadian whisky today. Lot no. 40, Pike Creek, Wiser's Legacy and 18yo, all excellent and priced a lot better than the $150 Crown Royal one offs.

Anon, that would be the Hiram Walker Distillery right?
- May 12, 2014 at 8:56 AM
Bourbon - Wild Turkey.
Scotch - I'll say Glencadam, I love their 15 yo.
- May 12, 2014 at 8:59 AM
That would be correct, thanks for the catch.

As the whisky craze sucks out the glut stocks and makes mania of top tier new distilleries like Balcones, Kavalan, Amrut, Kilchoman, and Garrison Brothers I'd say that we are more likely to find underrated distilleries among the ranks of small scale craft distillers who are quietly upping their game. One that popped immediately to mind is Finger Lakes Distilling where Tom McKenzie has quietly been experimenting with some lovely whiskies. When I was doing my Old Fitz research Mike Jasinkski shared a sample of a young wheated bourbon that Tom has maturing and, tasted in the context of drinking dusty Old Fitz, was remarkably well balanced and fully flavored. There are crafts people out there with skill - but because good whiskey takes time recognition of their work may take time to come.

Tullibardine, Glen Ord, Fettercairn, Mannochmore - I could go on (Royal Brackla, Dailuaine, Teaninich, Glen Scotia, Ben Nevis...). And no, I'm not just picking them at random.
- May 12, 2014 at 10:25 AM
- sku said...
Hiram Walker, with the Lot 40 and Wiser's is a good call.
As to Wild Turkey, I just haven't been very excited about anything they've done since American Spirit. They're lowering proof on the rye and Forgiven was a big bust.
Glencadam is an interesting pick. I can't say I have any real impression of them at all.
I'm sure there are micros who are going to be promising and somewhere out there, there probably is one that's underrated, but I don't know what it would be.
Keep 'em coming!
- May 12, 2014 at 10:27 AM

...Miltonduff, Speyburn, Cardhu, Tobermory, maybe even Benromach.
Recently overrated: Oban, Balvenie, even Glendronach.

Because they aren't participating in the race to the bottom of younger whisky in ever more inert casks.
Because they provide a quality product at a fair price, rather than tarting it up with metallic printing and more wood than a lumberyard.
Because they seem to have resisted the whisky-of-the-month-with-a-stupid-name-and-worse-backstory trend.
Because they blow the doors off so many distilleries and have managed to avoid becoming a household name.
Sure, they did a ridiculous edition for a bunch of wealthy eastern Europeans. Even after that happened, I can still go down and buy a bottle for a reasonable price and not feel like some venal brand manager is laughing their ass off at me for allowing another unit to move.
I'm sure this will be the laugh of the comments. I don't care. I'll just keep enjoying a high-quality malt for a fair price and shaking my head at the people choosing to buy a kosher-wine finished, sixth fill quarter cask, six year old seventh-tier-distillery Burns Malt for the low price of £89.
I'll pass on small craft distilleries as regular drinks until the pitch on them isn't "up and coming" or doesn't involve a lot of backstory and qualifications. I feel like even a lot of the beloved ones still need some serious caveats. Meanwhile, I can just go open a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel, be out $45 and not be completely disappointed. Yeah, I'll still do random bullshit for blog stunts, but that only serves to underscore how fantastic many large distilleries manage to be on a regular basis.
@DD: Maybe I'm still too whisky-geeked for my own good but I think BenRiach gets a fair amount of love - partially due to the Glendronach halo effect, but also due to the fact that their 70s offerings were stupid good. (Hell, one of the more recent ones was on FOAF alert...)
Now, applying the "common man" standard as I did with Glenfarclas above? Sure, way underrated. People may have heard of Glenfarclas; I think those same common consumers will think BenRiach is some Israeli ceremonial spirit...
- May 12, 2014 at 10:33 AM
@TR -- very true. It all depends on who is underrating the distillery. We don't sell a lot of Benriach, which is why it came to mind. Yet, I think their whiskies are as good as anything we carry from anyone.
By the way, how dare you even insinuate disagreement with what I said. You are now my sworn internet enemy.
- May 12, 2014 at 11:16 AM
- sku said...
Tim, everything you say about Glenfarclas is certainly true, and while they certainly deserve more recognition for their good work, I'm not sure I would call them underrated. Nearly every whiskey geek I know fawns over them.
Florin, those are certainly some of the lesser known distilleries, and I could see an argument for a few of them, but I can't say that I've been overly impressed with most such that I think they deserve a lot more respect than they are getting, but maybe I'm missing out on some great bottlings.
- May 12, 2014 at 11:21 AM
- Florin said...
My own sample size is small (n=1) for most of those cited, but those bottles definitely left an impression on me. Here are a few:
Speyburn 10yo - very nice honest single malt, on par with $30-40 whiskies, that can't sell at $20
Tullibardine 18yo (old regime) - couldn't sell at $50 for a few years, great clean, ex-bourbon whisky.
Fettercairn - quirky but with personality, the K&L XM bottle was very very good.
Glen Ord - loved a CS ADR, MAO wrote about it. Soft and distinctive
Mannochmore - had a delicious Blackadder 10yo CS last year
Royal Brackla - a great GM CS, Binny's exclusive
Miltonduff - loved the Cask Strength Edition last year - reviewed by Mao as well.
I'll stop here.
So I'm not going to argue with you Sku, I'm fine with them staying underrated and off people's radar.
Scratch what I wrote, here's my new underrated list: Ardbeg, Glenmorangie, Lagavulin, Bruichladdich, Brora, Port Ellen, Clynelish.
- May 12, 2014 at 11:48 AM
As for Wild Turkey - I'm not crazy about Kentucky Spirit. The RR Single Barrel is one of my favorites, the 101 is as reliable a "budget" pick as you'll find in my book, and the 101 Rye is back (in limited quantities, but yeah not a fan of the "normal" rye being 81 proof now).
All that being said, Wild Turkey's profile generally just seems to suit my palate more than most people.
- May 12, 2014 at 11:50 AM
- Tim Read said...
@Sku I'll defend the underrated on the basis that they should be in the Glenlivet/Glenfiddich/Macallan tier of popular awareness and are not. Quality, affordable, accessible, consistent, with a touch of unpretentiously pretentious luxury. It works. They're great.
I think everyone (in whisky nerd-com) knows they are great at the top end. I think a lot of people forget the lower end of the range is really great. It's easy to lose sight of that when the focus on them is 40+y bottlings and Family Casks. The 21 is $110-120! That's a screaming deal for a great whiskey. The 15 and 17 are totally reasonable. Rephrase it as "the standard range is underrated" perhaps, but there's such a rush to find the next thing that Glenfarclas just gets forgotten. I'm as guilty as the next guy, but come on, they're just killing year after year. So they're not unknown/undiscovered, but they still deserve a higher standing than they have, IMO.
... I've had more dodgy Port Ellens than Glenfarclases. How's that? ;)
@DD I'd have a witty comeback but I'm too drunk on this expensive gin to string it together.
- May 12, 2014 at 12:05 PM
- sku said...
Florin, I like it. I've definitely enjoyed Glen Ord and Fettercain. I've had more mixed experience with the others, but have had precious few Tulliabardines.
- May 12, 2014 at 12:21 PM
- Tim Read said...
I could definitely agree with Glen Ord. I don't have many noted but the ones I recall have been pretty solid. I feel similarly about Glen Elgin but there's a recent Glen Elgin that was so bad it held me back on that point.

Dad's Hat from Pennsylvania is the first to try reconstructing Monongahela-style rye whiskey, and even though it's currently a small barrel whiskey, the move to straight rye from standard barrels is moving forward as we speak.
Excellent white rye, great small barrel rye, and a superb vermouth barrel-finished rye now available, plus the occasional barrel-proof release.
They are distilled differently with the final product in mind, and each is bottled at a different proof to bring out the best in the bottle...and none are even close to bottom-of-the-legal-limit 80 proof.
Get yourself some!
- May 12, 2014 at 2:43 PM
Oh, I forgot to mention the port-barrel finish, available only at the distillery. Lots going on here!
- May 12, 2014 at 2:45 PM
- Funky Tape said...
The good stuff out of Wild Turkey unfortunately goes overseas. The 101 12 yr is truly fantastic.
Current Old Forester out if Brown-Foreman, esp the 100 prf is crazy good for the money.
I've tried 2-3 Balcones expressions and was pleased with all of them. I think the True Blue CS is great, though a bit young.
Stranahan's out of Colorado makes great young malt.
Most wheated bourbon is highly overrated, esp BTAC WL Weller. Weller 12 yr is a $20 whiskey and HH's Larceny tastes like a $2 one. You know the ass end is about to fall out when they start making a run on Larceny.
- May 12, 2014 at 3:40 PM
I think Kilchoman doesn't get the love it should - it's producing great stuff and it's released to little or no fanfare.
- May 12, 2014 at 7:44 PM
- Florin said...
Kilchoman is everyone's darling (and rightfully so). Any more love and it gets spoiled.
- May 12, 2014 at 10:18 PM
I would add Delaware Phoenix, Forty Creek and Copper Fox (Wasmund's)
Delaware Phoenix makes (in my opinion) excellent whiskies (100% rye, bourbon, corn and more recently wheat) and equally excellent absinthes (Cheryl Lins is an artist!)
Copper Fox products are rather interesting and John Hall @ Forty Creek has been doing a wonderful job
- May 13, 2014 at 6:43 AM
Goes to show how subjective taste can be. I think Larceny is a great pour at a great price...except that it's not available in the Peoples Republic of Pennsylvania.
I'll second the Delaware Phoenix recommendation, too!
- May 13, 2014 at 8:08 AM
I've enjoyed the work of Treaty Oak Distillery in Austin, though it's their gin I really love. They also make a fine rum.
- May 13, 2014 at 10:21 AM
I think A Smith Bowman is pretty underrated. Their John J Bowman Single Barrel and most of the Abraham Bowman limiteds are excellent. I think they only distribute to 20-25 states
- May 13, 2014 at 10:59 AM
- Tim Davis said...
I'd vote for MB Roland as under-rated (and not well know in general, but produces small quantities). Their tobacco smoked whiskey transcends novelty and have all been excellent. Their recently released Bourbon is just fantastic.
I'd also vote for Balcones, but I don't think they are under-rated at this point.
For Scotch... Ardmore Traditional Cask. Great flavors and a great value ($25 locally) for mid-90 proof, 1/4 cask and NCF? Win-win-win.
- May 13, 2014 at 1:28 PM
What about Alberta Distillers LTD? A lot of their amazingly old and great tasting 100% ryes have (unfortunately?) been finding their way to the US market under some different names...
I would like to see some more of their aged stock hit the USA, in the form of straight whiskey, not the blended Canadian style of stuff.
- May 13, 2014 at 1:32 PM
@Sam Komlenic -- while I appreciate the shout out for a product near the offices of WA, even your own ratings have Dad's Hat as just average at this time. They need time and resources to get better. I also have two knocks against the product.
First, location, location, location. Instead of being in picturesque Upper Bucks, they are located in the shadows of the old Rhom & Haas / Dow Chemical plant in Bristol, PA.
Secondly, much like Larceny, their product is not available on a national basis. We do not have access to it here in FL which is a fairly open state when it comes to liquor laws.
As a person who enjoys rye whiskeys, I would enjoy nothing better than to see this company and product do well. However, at this time I would rather have a bottle of Rittenhouse 100 BiB at a lower price and readily available now in this market.
- May 13, 2014 at 1:32 PM
As for underrated distilleries, I am surprised that no one has yet to mention any of the Japanese distilleries. Do not think any of them get much coverage in ratio to the quality of the product they produce. Their products are not cheap, nor are they of low quality.
- May 13, 2014 at 1:37 PM
@Anonymous (May 13, 2014 at 1:32 PM) -- in agreement on Alberta. Would love to see their stuff down here in the States. Have had their ryes on numerous occasions and have always found them to be quite enjoyable.
- May 13, 2014 at 1:41 PM
@anon: Japanese whiskies are truly great stuff and, in some ways meritorious of an "underrated" designation. However, all Japanese whisky available in my neck of the woods makes single malt scotch prices look cheap. So much for being underrated in my book!
- May 13, 2014 at 2:49 PM
Anony, I appreciate your thoughts, and must let you know that I don't chime in on blogs as a representative of the magazine. These are just my own thoughts, which don't necessarily jibe with those of the reviewers.
That said, Lew recently wrote in his column that the standard Dad's Hat bottling had gotten better since his initial review, which came in at an 81 in 2012 (the same score that our Craft Whiskey of the Year had that same year). There are still few craft brands that have really risen to the top tier in the Buying Guide. I suppose it's still a factor of the short aging that's associated with most.
I'm not familiar with any craft whiskeys that are fully available nationwide. We can get dismally few here in PA, and they tend to be more regional anyway, based mostly on production and distribution capacity, which, like most small distillers, they don't have a tremendous amount of.
Also not sure why their physical location should necessarily correlate to the quality of the product. They're using Bucks County-sourced grain regardless, and plenty of other highly regarded craft distillers and brewers are located in industrial park-type facilities.
I also applaud their moving steadily to large barrel aging, and I think that will pay off for them in a couple of years. They could label it as straight whiskey now (at 2 years old), but choose to keep aging until it gets where they want it to be.
Plus, were I a reviewer, their Vya vermouth-finished expression would have gotten my Craft Whiskey of the Year award for 2013, but that's just me, and maybe my limited ability to purchase a lot of crafts.
I came of age drinking Pennsylvania rye decades ago, watched it disappear and now tentatively return. Though I have a bottle of Rittenhouse in the cabinet (and Wild Turkey 101 rye, and High West Double Rye, among others) I keep a Dad's Hat right next to it, which will insure that the small, local guys remain capitalized and can eventually bring the product quality to where it can be...to where all of these small distillers really WANT it to be.
By buying Dad's Hat and other craft spirits that matter (and yes, there are those that don't) I'm making an investment in a diverse American distilling future that will benefit us all, even those of you who may not feel that small investment is worth making at present.
- May 13, 2014 at 3:26 PM
Interesting topic. I typically think of smaller producers like Smooth Ambler and Willett as unrated. But, few of us have had the opportunity to taste their distillate. Everything to this point has been produced by someone else. However, I often prefer these selections over higher priced or limited release options from known distillers. If their own products match their tastes in others, then we will soon have additional underrated distilleries.
While the Heaven Hill is neither under or over rated, I do believe they have select products that are underrated by the general bourbon buyer (read not geeks who are in the know). For example, Evan Williams Single Barrel and Larceny. A lot of people walk right past these in their quest for Pappy or BTAC, and then back past them to pick up something with a flashy bottle or label when they strike out on Pappy or BTAC.
- May 13, 2014 at 4:42 PM
- sku said...
Mbroo, great point on Smooth Ambler. While I haven't had the stuff they make themselves (Yearling), there Old Scout, distilled at MGP, is getting better and better.
Funny you should mention Evan Williams Single Barrel as I would consider it one of the more overrated whiskeys. The critics always seem to love it, but I've had very few that I consider at all impressive.
- May 13, 2014 at 4:46 PM
- Funky Tape said...
True, many of these smaller companies don't have nationwide distribution...nor can you buy stuff like W12 or Larceny everywhere. But there are so many online stores which are very competive that practically anything can be found. W12 is essentially non-existent here, but I've bought dozens of bottles for our local group at prices lower than where you can buy it off the shelf in a well-allocated market.
Seems to me that if the underrated guys want to compete, they're going to not only produce quality booze, but they're going to have to master their online presence as well.

@sku -- while EWSB might be a bit overhyped/overrated, at least it is at a price point which does not dent the pocketbook too much which allows folks at least an opportunity to give it a try. It is also readily in stock, at least in the shops I frequent. Compared to those on your overrated list, this is not even close.

I'm not as expert as most of you here, but I'd like to toss in Wathen's. Their Old Medley 12yo has really grown on me. Last night I opened up my third bottle and it's really a delight. Wathen's single barrel is also really dangerously drinkable.

JR, Osocalis is great, but I was thinking whiskey here. Brandy i the opposite situation. Pretty much every good brandy distillery is underrated.

I assume you mean "underrated by whisky geeks"--almost every distillery is underrated by the general whisky buying populace. And I assume you accept that "underrated" is consistent with "respected".
In the first category, I'd put in another vote for Glen Ord and Glencadam. And possibly for Longmorn and Tamdhu as well. Proof of how underrated Glen Ord is can be seen in the fact that the very excellent 30 yo from the 2005 Diageo annual release can still be found for $150 in the US.
In the latter, I'd nominate Bowmore, who are very well known, of course, but whose malt from the 1990s on still suffers from the FWP meme but is almost always very, very good. Similarly, Caol Ila doesn't get the respect it deserves--it has a good reputation but it's still highly underrated, neither as loudly touted as Ardbeg or Bruichladdich nor as iconic as Laphroaig or Lagavulin.
Glenfarclas, I think, is properly rated. The 105, the 15, 17, 21 and 25 are all beloved of plenty of whisky geeks.

Oh, and I meant to mention Tomatin as well. Everyone raves about the 1976 "vintage" but their regular line, especially the 12 and 18 are excellent value for money, and the 18 is very good. And the 30 yo is very good as well, and priced far more reasonably than 25 yos from most distilleries.

I have to disagree with you about The Balvenie being overated. The 15 year single barrel is one of the best whiskeys I've ever had.

I would say that Old Weller Antique is underated. For under $30 it a hell of a buy. I put mine in a cupboard above my stove and it got warm and it seemed to bring out the sweet smell even more. Don't know that I've ever smelled aa bourbon of that abv with such a sweet smell. Definitely astaple!e
