       function featured_home_widgets() {
       	if (is_front_page() ) {
       	echo get_royalslider(1);
       if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && is_sidebar_active('featured-home') ) {
           echo '<div id="featured-home" class="aside clearfix">'. "\n" . '<ul class="xoxo">' . "\n";
           dynamic_sidebar('featured-home');
           echo '' . "\n" . '</div><!-- #featured-home -->'. "\n";
   
       }
       }
       }
       add_action('thematic_belowheader', 'featured_home_widgets', 8);
