Anything Slider not working on Wordpress site

Hi,
I've been trying to debug this for hours.
I've got an anything slider on the homepage of my Wordpress site. I've used this slider before on other Wordpress sites and it's worked fine.
I'm building the site using a child theme of The Hybrid Framework. I loaded the javascripts by way of hooks and filters in the functions.php.

I checked my code over and over again. It looks accurate but I'm getting no results. I've changed the $ to jQuery in order to avoid javascript conflicts. I have another jQuery script for my twitter updates in the footer and that's working fine. Just no dice with the slider.

can anyone see what I'm missing?

Below you will find the code I added to my functions.php file.

Thanks!

// add jQuery to head of document
add_action('template_redirect', 'my_init_method');
