1.43/5 rDev -48.9%
Bottle 1058 of 2028, only brewed once in 2008. Somehow there are still bottles of this left on the shelf in Helena....had to pick it up, even though I recalled seeing some pretty mediocre reviews for it.
Appearance: It pours out and looks very nice. It's a deep, slightly hazy ruby red color with almost 3 fingers of pillowy off-white head. It reduces fairly quickly but a nice amount of lacing remains, aided by ample carbonation.
Smell: Weird. Lots of sugar and oxidized cherry scents. Perhaps a bit of vanilla, and a funk of some sort that doesn't seem like it would/should have been intended. Here's to hoping the taste is a bit better.
Taste: Extreme oxidized cherries, borderline rotten. Also vanilla and a ton of sugar. Cloying. Again that funk that seems to accentuate the rottenness. Wow, it's bad. Age most certainly did not do good things for this.
Mouthfeel/Overall: Mouthfeel is pretty decent actually. Between light and medium bodied with a reasonable amount of carbonation. Overall? Comes close to undrinkable. I finished just enough to finish the review. I can see how this beer may have been slightly better fresh, but it is to be avoided like the plague at this point. Simply awful. Big Sky strikes again.

08 batch 1369/2028
I'm all for fruit beers and regularly enjoy them if they have something interesting to offer...sadly this one doesn't
A-Dark Amber with a hint of Red that would imply the cherries inside. Head was large and foamy and dissipated slowly into a rocky and non uniform foam.
S-Light astringency, dark fruits, light chreey scent but not overwhelming, touch of vinegar.
T- Follows the nose. a prune/sour fig taste that hints that the cherries were fermented and not infused.

750ml bottle poured into my Narke glass. 2008 batch, bottle # 1389 of 2028...Pours a dark blood red, borders on a brown. A big spongey tan/pink head good retention and lacing...The aroma is super weird, it smells like vanilla cake with cherry frosting, and as good as that sounds, just doesn't really work for a beer...The taste is borderline horrendous and its really sneaky. It starts off ok light cherries and sugar on the front, then you are bombarded with rotten cherries and carbonation that attacks your senses. 4 sips to tick this is all I can manager.
This is really bad and should be avoided!!!! Do not even tick it.

750 ml from BevMo, Scottsdale. Pours a hazy dark pink with a two-finger lighter pink head. the head dissipated very quickly. The aroma was different. Sweeter, marischino cherry nose. A bit of cider as well. The taste, well, it was not good. It was identical to cherry Nyquil, except Nyquil is not at watery. Heavy ethyl alcohol and chemical flavors with the nasty cherry-Slurpee flavor was jsut bad. I only made it about halfway through my first pint before I dumped it and the bottle down the drain. Avoid.

So, at first I was really excited because I LOVE cherry. LOVE CHERRY. The color looked artificial, but so do the Lindeman's colors so I didn't worry about it. It was SUPER fizzy,with a pale pink head, reminded me of an out of control head I saw on a bottle of Malheur Brut. It just kept going until we'd poured about half of it out. It smelled like cherry, and it was still chilly, but when I tasted it I was like "Nope". It tastes artificial and it makes my tongue kind of numb, like chloreseptic (sp?) spray. When it warms up the nose gets better, with some spices on it, but I felt pretty left down. I didn't even really want to finish it. I wouldn't recommend it unless you get a stiffy for cough syrup flavors.

750ml bottle. Pours a light reddish-amber with a thin fizzy head that quickly diminishes to a tiny collar then disappears completely.
The aroma is off vegetal malts, cherries and sharp rubbing alcohol.
The flavor is sweet cherries and sharp tarry bitter alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery with very low but sharp carbonation.
Overall, it's a bit of a mess. Way too much sharp alcohol.

750mL bottle from a sacramento bevmo. Pours a pink tinged brown with a fizzy white head that falls off fairly quickly. Nose is full of ethanol, fusel alcohol, hint of fake smelling cherry. Flavor has a quick fusel alcohol punch lined with sweet malt and an odd fermented cherry taste that doesn't quite work. Medium to full bodied, somewhat syrupy. Its drinkable, but not delicious. Wouldn't buy this again.

Pours great - nice large off-white head that laces well as you drink the ale.
Nose is actually rather unpleasant with a fruit-veggie mixture that doesn't overflow with cherry. Don't think Lindeman's kriek when you buy this cherry ale.
On the palate this beer is mildly cherried, somewhat creamy and medium bodied, and has a faint resemblance to those Ludens cough drops. An unpleasant sour exists as well, and normally I love sour ales.

2.63/5 rDev -6.1%
750ml bottle, vintage 2008.
Pours hazy burgundy with a ruby hue in the light. A pinkish-tan head persisted throughout the glass with smeary lacing.
Aromatics are laced with dusty malt, cherry cough syrup, and wet paper. Lacking complexity or a desirable cherry quality.
Medium bodied with a creamy, tacky mouthfeel.
Stale malt akin to extract, wet cardboard, and cherry flavoring lead off the palate. A neutral yeast is apparent and some sweetness follows through.
Finishes with a lingering, stale malt character and cherry cough syrup.
Tasting much like a poorly made, oxidized cherry homebrew. Yikes.

Beer poured amber with light head. A friend said he thought it was hot and it was over 10% alcohol but I didn't think it was too hot. It was a little young to my palate. I bought a bottle to cellar. I'll give it a proper rating after it's aged because in all fairness this beer should be aged.

Bottle from the free table at Woodshop 5.0. Pours amber with a thin white head. Aromas of mealy mushy cherries, cherry pits, medicine. Flavor is bordering on artificial cherry with some caramel and too much booziness. Thick, hot, fizzy, not particularly good.

A- Cherry red color, pinkish white head.
S- A rich malt base with cherries and alcohol.
T- Quite rich tasting, not the valentine beer as advertised on the label. Strong alcohol and bitter cherry taste.
M- Had a lot of carbonation, which didn't help at all. Kind of thin body.
D- Not good. Alcohol hangs around too long.

Picked this guy up randomly at a Sacramento BevMo. Actually visited this brewery last summer. Cool place.
A- Hard not to notice the soda like huge foamy head right off the bat. Many large bubbled streamers... very active. Streamers maintain a thin white cap. Color is a hazy caramel amber.
S- Sugary, with a light touch of cherry. A little bit of alcohol. Light yeasty and phenols.
T- Caramel sweetness up front, with a noticeable etoh heat early on. Light banana yeastiness. I don,t really appreciate any cherry flavor.
M- Between the etoh heat that comes on early and works its way down to the chest and the sharp carbonation....don't love it.
D- I was hoping this would be better than it is. Not really feeling this one.

2.9/5 rDev +3.6%
Bottle number 529/2028.
Pours cloudy with a reddish pink hue. Head is large and fluffy pink.
Aromas of sweet cherries and malt. Not sure what the base beer is.
First sip is a little medicinal. Not harsh, but not very pleasing. If you broke this out for Valentines Day, you'd be alone by the end of the night. Not sure what's going on here.
Mouthfeel is a little tart, puckering, but more on the bitter side than tart fruit side.
Drinkability - I appreciate the opportunity to try it, but don't think I'll be coming back for more. More of a one night stand than a long term relationship.

02/19/09- Purchased at Sun Devil Liquors in Mesa, AZ.
Presentation- 750ml bottle wrapped in red foil with a festive Valentines-like label on the bottle. Didn't see a freshness date, but I know it's a 2008 release. Poured into my Big Sky Strong Cherry Ale glass.
Appearance- Watered down pinkish-red colored pour. Carbonation produces a 1/2 inch head which hangs around for a few minutes and then disipates. Leaves come light traces of lace behind.
Smell- Funky rotted cherry nose. Certainly not fresh and rather stinky. It cleans up a bit after it has a chance to breathe, but still not a fine example of fresh and vibrant cherries.
Taste- Wine cooler like flavor of cherries. Not really candied or fresh fruit, just a processed flavor. Lots of yeast flavor and some sugary notes as well.
Mouthfeel- Seltzer-like carbonation. Prickly and sharp. Light sugary cherry aftertaste.
Drinkability- Not one of the better outputs from Big Sky. Wouldn't waste my time on this one. Drinkable, but not a go to beer.

Pours a somewhat rusty ruby and burnt sienna with no head or bubbling :(. Maybe a little sediment visible when this richly colored beer is held to the light. The color is the ONLY good thing about the appearance.
Maybe some wet, toasted bread, and some mostly cherry and a little apple juice. Pretty subtle aromas all around though.
The taste is a little redeeming. Water thi palate upfront with watered down cherry juice and white bread. But the mddle warms and enlivens up just a little bit. But the finish is a smoove, and luscious cherry warmed by the abv.%.
This beerwas an OK sipper that I shared with my girlfriend. It wasn't bad, but I won't buy again.
This beer fell short in a lot of categories for me.

Got this upon visiting Missoula, sampled their wares and then bought this with other trinkets. Pours very light in color, with a definate cherry aroma. Sharp alcohol bite that later warms. Not a great session drinker by any means, however it is a good choice to share with that special someone. The cherry flavor is almost too much even for a fruit beer, maybe they could back off a bit on the cherries in the secondary fermentation. After the bottle you will have a headache, mostly from the very phenolic nature of this brew, however given a year or two of aging, this would smoot out exceptionally. I am definately going to cellar a few bottles and see how they fare as vintage.

Reddish tint to the brown-orange ale, white foamy head jumps up quickly but recedes to naught but a collar of lacing. Streaming small bubbles and what I assume are small flakes of cherry floating about.
The nose is strongly redolent of sweet fruit, obviously cherry. Quite boozy, with some sugary sweetness.
The flavor hits hard with the alcohol initially, with plenty of caramel sweetness. Some phenols are noted as well. Cherry is present, but really these are just soaked, for a long time, in booze.
For a beer with less than 9%, the alcohol is way too evident. It's interesting and unusual, but a little over the top.

Rachel Cross from Mistatim, SK– Verified Buyer
I had this in my old house, and bought it for the laundry room in my new house, works really well, seems well made.
Great looking - perfect height
Mary Ann from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer
This faucet was easy to install, and works great. It is a perfect height - no splashing. I mostly use the regular flow, but the alternate flow is useful when washing fruit.
kitchen delight
home repair from reno, nv and san francisco, ca– Verified Buyer
Very simple and good looking faucet. This is the 3rd one i installed in my and my children house. The only problem i had in the past that the hose deteriorated within 6 months. Because replacement parts are not readily available i had no sink for 4 days.
Love it!

This is a great faucet. Way more sturdy than the ones in the "big box" stores. Easy to install, no drips, the pull out feature works great... A+

Soosh "Us (Jameszoo Remix)"
- Words: Nathan Albert
- Label: Fremdtunes
Glasgow's Soosh is prepping his second EP, SoFar (artwork above), for a March 19 release on Dutch imprint Fremdtunes. As one of the handful of remixes commissioned for the record, Jameszoo's take on "Us" pulses gloomily through a collision of vocal samples and clicking percussion that recalls the act of reloading a gun on your favorite videogame. That gun sound is no random fluke, as you can even hear a "fatal quack" sample from Duck Hunt interspersed in the remix's brooding, downtempo beats. Check out the tracklist for SoFar, and preview each of its tunes, after the jump.

Too many to count, and they're not organized in any kind of way, spread out over a bunch of different folders on my hard drive. Admission is free and I live about 30 minutes away, so I've been there a lot. I go when something pops up, or if I'm showing someone around town. (I missed out on Kurt Muse's appearance, though.)
Is there something specific inside the museum you wanted a picture of? I'll see if I have it.

Preventing Lead Poisoning in Young Children -- United States
CDC has issued a new statement on preventing lead poisoning in young children (1). This statement replaces the 1978 statement (2), which defined levels for elevated blood lead, undue lead absorption, lead toxicity, and lead poisoning. The 1985 statement is intended to serve as a guideline for lead-poisoning prevention programs in the United States.
Since 1978, investigators have reported adverse effects from low-level lead exposure on children's behavior and intelligence (3), hemoglobin formation in red blood cells (4), and metabolism of vitamin D (5). These studies demonstrate that little or no margin of safety is associated with a level of 30 micrograms of lead per deciliter (ug/dl) of whole blood--the lowest level defined as elevated in CDC's 1978 statement.
To be successful, a screening program designed to prevent childhood lead poisoning requires, not only an acceptable and cost-effective screening procedure, but also medical follow-up and means of preventing the child from future exposure to lead (6). The erythrocyte protoporphyrin (EP) test is recommended as the screening test for lead toxicity because it can be easily performed on a drop of blood obtained from a finger prick and placed in a portable fluorometer. Since EP levels increase in both lead poisoning and iron deficiency, follow-up testing for elevated blood lead and/or iron deficiency must be done.
Some major changes in the 1985 statement compared with the 1978 statement are:
An elevated blood lead level, which reflects excessive absorption of lead, is defined as a concentration of lead in whole blood of 25 ug/dl or greater (formerly 30 ug/dl or greater).
Lead toxicity is defined as an elevated blood lead level with an EP level in whole blood of 35 ug/dl or greater (formerly 50 ug/dl or greater).
Lead is most harmful to children between the ages of 9 months and 6 years. Ideally, all children should be screened. As more children are screened for iron deficiency by EP testing, simultaneous lead screening of these same groups becomes feasible.
For EP levels greater than 35 ug/dl, EP values obtained with hematofluorometers are generally lower than EP values obtained by the extraction method. Therefore, separate cut-off levels are used for classifying the urgency of medical follow-up.
Greater reliance is placed on the calcium disodium EDTA mobilization ("Provocative Chelation") test in determining whether a full course of chelation therapy is indicated for children with blood lead levels in the 25-55 ug/dl range. The revised lead statement, Preventing Lead Poisoning In Young Children: A Statement by the Centers for Disease Control: January 1985, will be available on request after March 1, 1985, from: Publication Activities, Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; (404) 452-4102. Reported by Special Studies Br, Chronic Diseases Div, Center for Environmental Health, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II, 1976-1980) found that children from all geographic and socioeconomic groups are at risk of lead poisoning (7). An estimated 3.9% (or nearly one of 25) of the children in the United States under 5 years of age had blood lead levels of 30 ug/dl or greater--levels possibly causing adverse physiologic and neurobehavioral effects. Between 1976 and 1980, the overall mean blood lead levels dropped from 14.6 ug/dl to 9.2 ug/dl, and this corresponded with a decline in the sales of leaded gasoline during this period (8).
Lead-based paint continues to be the major source of high-dose lead exposure and asymptomatic lead poisoning for children in the United States. Since 1977, paint produced for household use must, by regulation, contain no more than 0.06% (600 parts per million ]ppm^) lead by dry weight, but some paints manufactured in the 1940s for indoor use contained more than 50% (500,000 ppm) lead. An estimated 27,000,000 households in this country remain contaminated by lead paint (9).
Typically, symptomatic lead poisoning occurs among children under 6 years old living in deteriorated, pre-World War II housing. Repeated ingestion of nonfood substances has been shown to be associated with lead poisoning in young children (10), but it is not a prerequisite for lead poisoning (11), since children's normal mouthing behavior alone is sufficient to cause those living in contaminated homes to have high lead exposure. Lead poisoning has been reported in children whose parents moved to a city as "urban homesteaders"; the children were exposed to chips, dust, or fumes from lead-based paint when the old houses were remodeled or renovated (10).
Other potential sources of lead exposure include the use of imported lead-glazed pottery for cooking (12) or storing food and hobbies and activities involving lead, such as working with stained glass or casting lead objects.
The highest priority for screening should be given to 12- to 36-month-old children who live in or frequently visit older, dilapidated housing, who live near lead smelters or other industrial sources of lead, or whose parents work with materials containing lead.
Screening all children for lead toxicity--including those not suspected of having been exposed to lead--is feasible, since the EP test can also be used as the screening for iron deficiency. Recently, in a nutritional assistance program, the EP test was used to screen children for iron deficiency (13), and some Hmong refugee children were found to have lead toxicity. The source was traced to a Hmong folk remedy used for treating infants and children with fevers.

He's Behind One of TV's Most Social Shows, but 'Game of Thrones' Author Writes on…
By Jordan Chariton on May 14, 2014 5:03 PM
His books are the basis for one of TV's most social shows, but "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin is still old school when it comes to writing.
"I have a secret weapon," Martin said on "Conan" last night about protecting against computer viruses. Martin explained he has two computers: one for Internet searching and emails, and one for his writing–a DOS Word Processor–with no connection to the Internet.
Martin added that he hates modern systems that auto correct your lowercase letters with a capital: "I don't want a capital, if I wanted a capital, I would have typed a capital. He also loathes spellcheck, noting that when writing words like "Targaryen," he doesn't need to be told he's wrong.

Davison opens season
Across the valley, the apple industry is struggling. The economy of apples has been difficult and everywhere you look there are abandoned orchards. Okanagan apple production is only about one third of what it was 20 years ago.
But regardless of the trend, there are a few young farmers who remain passionate that the North Okanagan is a fantastic place to grow apples.
Kevin Shaw with his wife Laura, of the Davison family, recently purchased 50 acres of prime farmland in the Grandview Flats area. This spring they have been busy planting a brand-new orchard of more than 20,000 new apple trees. The Davison family currently grows more than 25 different apples, but they can't keep up to the demand for certain popular varieties. More than half the new planting is honeycrisp apple trees, a variety of apples that Davison Orchards has sold out of for the last number of years.
"Our customers love our honeycrisp," said Shaw, who is proud to say he "married in" to the Davison family.
Tom Davison shares his son-in-law's enthusiasm for growing apples.
"We still believe this area is one of the best spots in the world for growing apples. The apple quality here is superb and we have very few pests and diseases," he said. "Honeycrisp is not only popular, but it is a variety that is particularly well-suited to the cool fall nights of the North Okanagan."
Both Tom and Kevin have been part of a team that has spent the last several weeks in full planting mode and is now busy installing a drip irrigation system, which will provide moisture to the trees without wasting a drop of precious water.
Two years ago, Shaw quit his engineering job to join the family farm, and now he is as dirty as the next farmer.
"I still can't believe I get to do this for a living," he said. "I love knowing my kids will grow up here, I love driving the tractor, and I love watching things grow knowing I had a part in it."
Although Davison Orchards has expanded with a new farm in Grandview Flats, they will continue to sell their produce directly from their market in the Bella Vista area, where they also sell made-from-scratch pies, homemade soups and sandwiches at their cafe and bakery and a large selection of gifts.
Opening for the season on Thursday, Davison Orchards will offer farm tours through their orchards every weekend.
"We would love to invite you to come to the farm, take a tour and see for yourself how amazing an orchard in the spring is," said Shaw. "We think our enthusiasm for farming here in Vernon just might rub off on you."
Davison Orchards opens for the season Thursday and is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

I always wonder why adults need awards/ceremonies for their volunteer work. I give of my time (and money when I have it) and expect nothing but a "thank you for your help". I would prefer the money used to put on these functions or to pay for plaques stay in the coffers and be used to help those needing the organizations in the first place.

WordPress is well-known for its ease of installation. Under most circumstances installing WordPress is a very simple process and takes less than five minutes to complete. Many web hosts now offer tools (e.g. Bluehost, mediatemple) to automatically install WordPress for you. However, if you wish to install WordPress yourself, click below button to read about Famous 5 Minute Installation.5 Minute Installation Guide
Alternatively you may be interested on below topics:
Please note that we do not give support or any questions related on how to install and maintain wordpress. For any faulty installation that may cause your website or our theme malfunction you should refer to wordpress support forum. Alternatively you can get help from your web hosting.
Once you download Ken Theme, unzip the main item. you will see the following folders:
Installing a theme through wordpress is quite a simple process. After you have logged into wordpress account and are ready to go, in the admin panel's sidebar navigate to appearance and then select themes. After that, click on the Add New tab and select upload from the navigation bar right below it. Click "choose file" button and locate your theme zip file (Ken.zip) then hit install now. After Ken has been installed locate and click activate.
Please be informed that you should not upload the whole item you have downloaded from Themeforest as you will get an error of broken stylesheet file. Instead locate the Ken.zip file inside the main file you have downloaded.
While installing your theme through wordpress admin, you may encounter an error message saying "are sure you want to do this?". This is mainly due to your hosting php settings. Ken theme zip file is roughly around 4mb and in some hostings the default value for max_upload_limit left default which is 2mb. To solve this problem you should either increase your maximum upload size (suggested value 10mb) on your hosting admin panel or ask your host to do it for you if you do not have the privilege to alter your server php settings. This is a very common request and they should be able to help you out. Once the limit is increased you can re-try the install and you'll be all good to go.
Below explanation is an step by step explanation on how to import our demo website content, please read carefully and if you face any problems that is not covered here, open a thread in our support forum.
If you face with errors related to "memory exhaustion" then you should follow below steps to increase your Wordpress memory limit to the recommended level.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
Please note that WordPress memory can be different to the server – you need to set this regardless of server memory settings
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
php_value memory_limit 64M
There are 2 methods to update our wordpress themes to newer version. These new updates are essential if you want to have a bugfree website as we give new features and improvements to the theme over the time. some of these updates might be needed in order to make the theme compatible with wordpress or third party plugin's newer versions. There is no risk on losing your settings and pages. However if you had done modifictations on theme files, then they will be lost. You can still modify theme files using child theme using theme hooks(if you want to modify php files) and style.css for custom css overrides.
For this method you should first install Theme Upgrades Tool
Ken is localised and you can easily translate it to any language you like. Please note that the font family you are using in theme should support the language's special characters.
Before translating your theme, you'll need to make sure WordPress is setup correctly with your locale. Open wp-config.php from your wordpress installation root folder and modify the line below, or add it if it is missing. Complete lists of codes can be found at (country codes) and (language codes).
For example you will need to modify as below for Portuguese Language.
define ('WPLANG', 'pt_BR');
Now you're ready to translate your theme. The easiest way to do this is by installing the Codestyling Localization plugin. Install and activate the plugin and go to Tools => Localization (shown in your language). Read Plugin documentation on how to use it to translate the theme. Ken's Textdomain is "mk_framework". But there are other textdomains such as woocmmerce and you may need to search and translate for all of them.
If you update your theme to a new version which has an updated language file, you'll need to rescan your theme using the plugin and then translate the new strings. Find your theme in Codestyling Localization plugin and click the Rescan link to have the plugin update the pot file.
After you have rescanned your theme, click Edit to translate any new strings the plugin found when rescanning. Remember to generate a new MO file after you have translated your new strings.
In Ken setting up your homepage is pretty simple thing. all you need to do below steps :
Please note that you should not use Posts Page option at any time and it has nothing to do with blog page. Ken has its own way of building blog loops(read blog section of this documentaion).
In this section we will show you how to build a homepage like our demo website.
Please refer below screenshot to follow the numbers as we explain in order:
If you set Favicon option it will apear in your browser tab. If you leave this option empty the defualt icon (in most cases your hosting provider's favicon) will be showed.
Using this option you will need to upload your logo. Once uploaded it will be appeared in header section. Please note that the logo image height will also set header height as well. Therefore its recommended to use an image smaller than 120px. If left blank theme defualt logo will be showed.
As navigation items length may vary from site to site its best recommended to consider this option once you have finished setting your main navigation. In order to find the best width you should constantly resize window width up to a level that menu items breaks into the second line. calculate the threshold width and set the value.
The site content including header and footer is within a section with a defined width. Since this theme is built with fluid layouts, you can set any value between 960px-1380px and your content incuding images will be cropped and resized according to grid width. In screens smaller than your grid width the content will fit without overlaping. So its also resposnive relative to window size. Default value is 1140px as its best value in current web trends.
Content width will define your page content width (when sidebar is enabled). Its value is in percent relative to sidebar. So if your content width is set to 76% your sidebar width will be 24%. The best fit is 72-28 ratio. If you wonder how much will it be in pixels, do this calulation : (main grid width * content width)/100
Side Dashboard is a widgetised area located in right section of screen. using its icon(in header right section) you can click to slide in and once clicked on the icon or content it will be slide out. If you don't to show it just disable this option.
Breadcrumb is a tree base navigation menu that located in page title section. This feature is useful for users to know where exacly they are regarding to the structure of your site and its recommended in SEO best practices. You can disable it breadcrumbs using this option.
Smooth scroll is a jQuery plugin that gives your site a good experience while scrolling up and down. using its enahnced easing movement it makes your pages with parallax sections look just awsome. Please note that this script modifies the browser built-in scroll bar. Disable this smooth scroll from this option.
In some cases you need an specific widget area for an specific blog post or page. Good news is we have such feature that gives you the ability to create unlimited widget areas beside your predefined widget areas (eg. single widget area). To start follow the below steps :
Please refer below screenshot to follow the numbers as we explain in order:
Please set your header top padding using this option. Header height is consist of logo actual height + header padding(e.g : logo height + (30 * 2)). the value you set will create a space from top and bottom of logo.
Sticky header will place your header in top of window when you scroll down. This feature is currently trending due to its Usability and UX practices. but if you don't want to use this feature disable this option.
Header search form is located in header right section beside main navigation. its recommended to not disable this feature because of its importance, but if you are using a single page website you can disable it from here.
Choose your content typography. You can use Google fonts besides safe fonts. The list of google fonts will be weekly checked and new fonts will be added to the selectbox.
If your site is other than english then you should consider updating this field (if google font family chosen) with your language character set. if yours is not in the list then it means the font you have chosen does not support your language character set.
If in case the google font did not work due to server issue or any other technical reason this font will be relaced with your google font (main font family). This option will only shown if you have chosen a google font.
This option will allow you to set your heading fonts different than your main body font family. This option will affect h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 tags.
Using this option you can change your main page title text size.
The main theme color that will define your site general skin. This color should be a bright and vivid color to give your site a balanced look.
This option will affect p tags as well as tags that do not have direct styling on them. For instance if your text is inside a div, span tag then they will inherit body text color.
This option will affect color of h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 tags.
This option will affect all links in site unless there is a direct styling on the specific link. for eample sidebar, footer and side dashboard links is being set separately in this section.
You can set page title text color from this section. aparat from this option you can also set its size from typography section. It background settings can be handled from background section.
In this section you will set side dashboard widget titles, text and links colorings.
In this section you will set sidebar widget titles, text and links colorings.
In this section you will set footer widget titles, text and links colorings.
This set of options will allow you to change the skin of main navigation that locates in header section.
If you need to apply some small CSS tweaks to your theme, then you are in right place. Please note that you should always have a copy of your custom codes as sometimes you may mistakenly reset theme options to defaults and lose all your custom css. Alternatively you may consider making a child theme if your customisation is beyund just few lines of css code. below are some links on how to create your own child theme :
You can use this field to add Java scripts which will be appended to HTML file footer. Please be informed that your scripts may create errors for theme scripts as well and cause many theme elements fail to work correctly.
In this section you can set Body, Header, Page Title, Footer, Sub Footer and Side Dashboard background properties. We have only explained the options you will see in each set of options.
This option will make your site boxed.
you can use this option to upload image, pattern, texture.
Set the background color for this section
If you have used a background image then you can set the position of image using this option. Please note that this option will only work relative to the section only if the background attachment is set to scroll. If no background-position is specified, the image is always placed at the element's top left corner.
The background-attachment property sets whether a background image is fixed or scrolls with the rest of the page. The background is fixed with regard to the viewport. The background scrolls along with the element.
The background-repeat property sets if/how a background image will be repeated. By default, a background-image is repeated both vertically and horizontally.
Scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered by the background image. Some parts of the background image may not be in view within the background positioning area. Do not use this option with a repeated pattern or texture.
Using this option you can set Blog single featured image, gallery post format slideshow heights.
Define blog archive layout

WordPress Widgets add content to your Sidebars and Footer. Examples are the default widgets that come with WordPress; for example post categories, tag clouds, navigation, search, etc. Widgets require no code experience or expertise. They can be added, removed, and rearranged on the WordPress Administration Appearance > Widgets panel.
In some cases you need an specific widget area for an specific blog post or page. Good news is we have such feature that gives you the ability to create unlimited widget areas beside your predefined widget areas (eg. single widget area). To start follow the below steps :
Pages are less time-dependent than Posts, none-blog content and basically are there to build your website content. Creating a page in Ken is pretty simple process. You will just need to build your content using shortcodes with the help of shortcode generator (refer to shortcodes section) or Page Composer (refer to Page Composer section). There are couple of metaboxes (page meta options to be used to modify its visual options) that we will explain in this section. Please refer below screenshot:
A page can have title. you can disable title section from below section (Page Elements => remove title).
Visual tool to build your page layouts using shortcodes. Please refer to page composer section of this docs for more information.
Classic Wordpress editor where your content should be placed. There are some tools like shortcode generator, and typography options that will help you to build your content. If you click page composer button the visual mode of your content.
If you dont want to show sidebar or simply want to move sidebar to left side then this option is in your service :) default is right sidebar.
All pages widget area for sidebar is predefined "page widget area" but if you have crearted a custom sidebar in theme settings, then those custom widget areas will be in this option to choose from.
In this section you can have relative pages in sense of parent, child, siblings. In other words if you have set of pages that their parent is same page then they are that page's childern. Using this feature you can create sub navigation using subnav widget.
using this option you can remove page elements. This option will only be applied to this page. for example in in single page sites you may need to disable header section and using secondary header shortcode bring header below your slideshow.
This option will simply remove the space after header and before footer. If you want to add slideshow after header you just need to disable page title from above option and enable this option.
Optionally you can disable/enable breadcrumb in this page.
This option will simply remove the space after header and before footer. If you want to add slideshow after header you just need to disable page title from above option and enable this option.
Theme defualt header is block, but if you want to have a transparent header same as demo site homepage, change this option to transparent. Please read homepage section of this docs for more info about it.
Transparent header can be in dark and light skins. if chosen light then you should upload light skin logo in theme settings => general. Please note that this option will only work if no edge slider is added to top (assuming you have enabled "first element" option in edge sldieshow shortcode settings).
This option will give you the ability to define on how many pixel the page should be scrolled for the sticky header to appear. If left zero, the value will be device screen height(so its dynamic and relative to the client's screen resolution). any value higher than zero will be an static value in pixels.
In ken you can have 7 different main navigations. So it makes it possible to have single pages with anchor links in menu. If you leave blank primary menu will be used. dont forget to create menu and assign them to menu locations.
In this section we will talk about some important features, so read this carefully to prevent confusions. Please follow the numbers based on the below screenshot.
The framed area will serve as current page layout and backgrounds. in Ken you can modify any part of your page using our state of art background selector. You are equiped with all background properties.
Use page skin management only when you need to. so this option is for when you need to modify the page backgrounds or layout. This option simply lets theme use these settings instead of global background settings set in theme settings.
Choose between boxed or full width layout. It comes handy when you need to make a page boxed or fullwidth layout when the opposite applies for the rest of the pages in theme settings.
No need to explain this section, everything is visual and you just need to click on sections and modify in editing panel.
This option adds extra padding to top and bottom of your page title. allowing you to have large area if you need to add background images to this section.
Align left, center, right.
This option will only change this page's title text size. so other page's text size should be modified from theme options.
Change Page title color.
if you are using dark background color or image, then your should choose light otherwise dark.

To start navigate to WordPress Sidebar => Edge SlideShow => Add Edge Slider. You should see an screen as shown in below screenshot. Please follow the step numbers from below screenshot.
Please read on with the next section if you will use video backgrounds for edge slider.
Video Baclground is pretty strightforward. You will need to choose video type and start uploading your video formats in as shown in below screenshot. Below formats compatibility check ups:
Ensure your server is using the correct mime-types. Firefox will not play the Ogg video if the mime-type is wrong. Place these lines in your .htaccess file to send the correct mime-types to browsers :
AddType video/ogg .ogv AddType video/mp4 .mp4 AddType video/webm .webm
The iPhone will not autoplay. This is done to save bandwidth which may cost some users, or be limited. It is not a bug, it's a feature
HTML5 video (used in theme) on Android is badly broken. Resolution support varies from one handset to the next (often just 480×360), the fallback image usually doesn't show and the code requires special adjustments. The Android emulator is completely useless as it doesn't represent any real hardware and does not play HTML5 video. THERE IS NO WAY TO TEST ON ANDROID WITHOUT A PHYSICAL PHONE. BLAME GOOGLE.
Some web hosts, in trying to save bandwidth, gzip everything by default—including video files! In Firefox and Opera, seeking will not be possible or the video may not play at all if a video file is gzipped. If this is occurring to you please check your server / hosts and disable the gzipping of Ogg and other media files. You can switch off gzipping for video files in your .htaccess file by adding this line:
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(og[gv]|mp4|m4v|webm)$ no-gzip dont-vary
We have added flash player fall back for older IE versions.

Ken integrated with LayerSlider WP and it meets all its compatibilities to use it anywhere in your content. Due to the Themeforest new guidlines we can not ship third party plugins within themes. However we can include it in the main item folder for you to install it manually. It will just take you few seconds to get it from the main item you downloaded > Plugins > Layersldier.zip and manually upload and install it. If you wish to build awesome slides using this plugin follow below steps to install :
We will ship Included plugin's new versions with our every theme update. Since this plugin is premium, therefore you must have a single lisence to enable your auto updates and seek for support from plugin author. Unfortunately we can not give support to third party plugins.
Using Layerslider is tough job, and I personally dont recommend it to novice users! Its not about steps or its visual panel usages. you should also be skilled in animations, transitions and layers. you should be able to use photo editing softwares like Photoshop to make your layers and then combine them in layerslider with transitions. Layerslider has a simple documentation right inside its visual panel (If you check below screenshot you will stop where to click)
Page Composer is a visual shortcode generator that you can build your layout painlessly without wasting your time with coding shortcodes. We built Page Composer based on Famous plugin called Visual Composer (Thanks for their awesome plugin). There's one concept/design pattern you should know. In the Page Composer editor mode you'll have "Add element" button, which you should click or drag to the working canvas, to add content block or row to your page. Clicking the "Add element" button will show the content element selection menu. Content blocks are divided into categories so you can filter. Alternatively you can type the shortcode name to filter down the items instead of search them visually.
Below image shows the list of all shortcodes that you can use in Ken. You can use category filter and search element name field to find your shortcode much quickly.
Rows are used to divide your page into the logic blocks with columns, columns later will hold your content blocks. Rows can be divided into the layouts (eg. 1/2 + 1/2, 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3, and so on). Your page can have unlimited number of rows. To change row's position, click and drag row's drag handler (top left row's corner) and drag row around (vertical axis). Please note that you can edit a row property to enable full width option. This row will no longer follow main grid width that you define it in Masterkey Settings. Now you can add shortcodes such as full width slideshow, Portfolio carousel(modern style) or divide a page with Page divider (fullwidth style).
Columns are part of the row and they hold your content elements inside them. Columns can be reordered. Click and drag column around (horizontal axis). That way you can group elements in logical groups and then drag them around with your mouse (to re-position).
Page sections are standalone shortcode that plays a fullwidth container role. What you can do with this shortcode is just limitless. You can have parallax backgrounds, videos, an many more using this huge shortcode. page section same as Rows are column holders, so you can have first level and second level columns to build complex layouts which has been never possible in old times without HTML and CSS knowledge.
You can control page composer global settings such as disable/enable in a post type and user roles that can use a shortcode. You can find these settings from WordPress dashboard => left sidebar => settings => Page Composer. Once you arrived to this page, you will face with 2 options :
This option allows you to choose which post type should have the page composer feature. Please note that only post types will have this feature that they have WP editor feature. so for example clients will not have page composer even if you check mark its post type.
This option will give you the ability to select which shortcode should be appeared in the specific user role. this is useful when you give subscribers the ability to post, so you can control on what they can use.
In this section we will go through each shortcode that comes with theme. Even though we strongly recommend you to stick with page composer on building your layouts, which the reason is quite obvious also you will take advantage of the updated list of options each shortcode may come in new versions. We may or may not update this list (shortcode WIKI) along new updates so page composer will contain the updated list of shortcodes.
Some users just can't absorb visual mode page builders and they want to play with shortcode themselves. We have thought about them and added classic shortcode generator:
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you do nifty things with very little effort. Shortcodes can embed files or create objects that would normally require lots of complicated, ugly code in just one line. Shortcode = shortcut.

Craeting one page scroll is very easy. In fact you just create a normal page using any shortcodes and contents you like. However the difference is you need your navigation menu items to be linked up with in-page contents. That is a very easy process. Follow these instruction:
For example let's say we want to add a Contact section to our page. We normally start off by adding a Row or Page section. To do this click on Add Elements or Add Row button on the top of page composer (Figure 1-1).
If you have used contact form shortcode or widget, set up the correct email address (to be sent) and you do not recieve any emails after all your attempts then read on about some tips that may help.
WordPress sends email using wp_mail, a function that for all practical purposes operates like php's mail. It is a way for your site to send email via a PHP script rather than other ways like SMTP.
In order to determine what your problems might be, it is important to understand the potential email configuration requirements. Some issues could be server-based, others could be not understanding restrictions by your host.
In some cases even mail() function is disabled by default and you should set it to "ON" from php configuration file (php.ini) or ask hsoting provider to enable it for you.
Some hosts require that any server-side email script send with a "from" address that is an actual email address. WordPress by default sends email from a generic address "[email protected]". If your host has a requirement that you send from a valid email address and you don't have a [email protected] email configured, then your site can't send email. for example [email protected] should be configured in your mail server in order to pass through this policy
In general, on shared hosting, the email process is shared, too. If another user on your host has a script that is tying up the email server, that is going to effect your site (and therefore your email script).
For those running WordPress on shared hosts, the issue most often is that email is delayed in some case for a long period. But it is important to know if this is something you are likely to be effected by.
Sometimes, the issue is that certain messages are simply blocked because of an addressing issue. Emails coming into one of the major email provider domains (hotmail, aol, gmail, yahoo) can get flagged for a number of reasons.
If email from wp_mail is not getting delivered, you may need to consider is it not getting through to everyone? Or is this limited to certain domains? Getting blocked or blacklisted by a specific host could be an issue.
The simplest way around all of this is to use a valid email account sent through an SMTP server. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and sending through an SMTP server simply means you have set up a real email address on your system and you are allowing the web based script (wp_mail) to connect to the server with appropriate account credentials. This will satisfy most hosting requirements and also help you avoid system bottlenecks on shared hosting.
There are many plugins that forces wp_mail function use an SMTP for delivering emails. We suggest below solutions :
Using one of these plugins is an easy way to change your WordPress email configuration to send email via SMTP. That is a more reliable and more stable way of sending email through WordPress.
The only thing you should do is to:
A WordPress child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits its functionality from another WordPress theme, the parent theme. Child themes are often used when you want to customize or tweak an existing WordPress theme without losing the ability to upgrade that theme. In the past, there was no easy way of updating WordPress themes without losing all the custom styling and changes that you had made. This becomes chaos when all the sudden you find out a widely used script in popular themes has a major exploit, and you need to update your themes ASAP. It becomes a tough choice because on one hand, you would lose all the custom styles if you update. On the other hand, you risk your site getting hacked if you don't update fast enough. So updating wordress theme is a must and you should never ever directly hack or modify theme files. But wait, what about the modifications?
The core team and the community decided to solve this problem by introducing the concept of parent theme and child theme. A child theme in WordPress would inherit all the functionality, features, and the code of the parent theme without making any changes to the parent theme itself. This allowed users to change the styling of the parent theme and add/modify features without losing the ability to update the parent theme.
It is important to know that even though you can always create a child theme of any WordPress theme, sometimes you may not need a child theme. Think about the number of changes you have planned for your child theme, if the changes you are planning are minor, then you can use custom css option located in theme settings or custom.css file in theme root(you should backup this file and relapce after each update). If the changes are too extreme where you find yourself overriding the core parent theme files, then you probably should be creating a custom theme.
Good new is that Ken is fully child theme compatible and you can override almost everything you can imagine. starting from shortcodes to widgets, hooks and filter, blog, portfolio. We have coded theme with this concept that users may need to use it as roubut framework for their ideal website.
A child theme automatically inherits the parent theme's features, styles, and templates. This allows you to make changes to your site using child themes without ever modifying the parent theme. When a new version of the parent theme arrives, you can safely update it as all your modifications are saved in the child theme. So updates will not override or delete your midifications located in child theme.
A child theme built on a powerful theme framework allows a great deal of flexibility without writing a lot of code. You can selectively modify only the template files and functions that you need without going through other template files. You can add new functionality and much more. In some cases users ask for a feature which we can not include as a feature in theme directly due to some reasons. but occasionally we provide child themes with the extended features that some users need.
When you are creating a complete theme you need to think about all the possible scenarios and code for them. However, when you are working on a child theme and you forget to code for something, then there is always the parent theme's functionality available as the fallback option.
In order to create a baisc child theme you should follow below steps :
Theme Name: Ken Child Theme
Theme URI: http://artbees.net/themes/ken/
Description: This is a child theme build by "your name"
Author: Artbees
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/artbees/portfolio
Template: ken
Version: 1.0.0
@import url("../ken/stylesheet/css/theme-styles.css");
/* =Theme customization starts here
------------------------------------------------------- */
The most important parts of this file are the "Template:" and @import sections, which identifies the parent theme imports the CSS from the original. You must ensure that the path to your parent theme's css file is correct, and that the "Template: parameter correctly identifies the name of your parent theme. If you are using a different theme, then adjust the values accordingly. Everything must be case sensitive! The folder of our parent theme is "ken" (all lower case), and the @import URL reflects this.
We will update this section with massive wiki on overrding theme's special places (shortcodes, widgets,..). If you have any quations please open a thread in our support forum and we will try our best to assist you.

The mechanics behind basic delay are simple: Play a note or chord into an audio-storage medium, then get that device to play that sound back to you — either once or multiple times — after whatever amount of time makes you happy. Of course, people have improved upon this simple formula, taking delay to new depths and heights, and often including an infinite assortment of types and combinations in one pedal.
