Why another base theme? Because I want a best practices approach that encompasses Twitter Bootstrap, provides for dynamic regions, avoids having to use Drupal's an-equated use of JQuery and allows for me to focus more on theming and less on coding...

Creating a base theme.info, folder structures and templates

Integrating Bootstrap why reinvent when we can implement

Preprocess, Process and Hook Alter Drupal output - Avoiding JQuery issues - Providing theming flexibility

Fusion Apply creating dynamic regions

Best Practices rinse, repeat and reuse

Extending our Base Theme settings and overrides

Next Steps practice, refine, experiment

Thank You.
