Get smart with the Thesis WordPress Theme from DIYthemes.
// Using hooks is absolutely the smartest, most bulletproof way to implement things like plugins, // custom design elements, and ads. You can add your hook calls below, and they should take the // following form: // add_action('thesis_hook_name', 'function_name'); // The function you name above will run at the location of the specified hook. The example // hook below demonstrates how you can insert Thesis' default recent posts widget above // the content in Sidebar 1: // add_action('thesis_hook_before_sidebar_1', 'thesis_widget_recent_posts'); // Delete this line, including the dashes to the left, and add your hooks in its place. /** * function custom_bookmark_links() - outputs an HTML list of bookmarking links * NOTE: This only works when called from inside the WordPress loop! * SECOND NOTE: This is really just a sample function to show you how to use custom functions! * * @since 1.0 * @global object $post */ function custom_bookmark_links() { global $post; ?>

And if sanity ruled up the coast and the proposed Kitimat supertanker port scheme is killed, the Fossil Fuelers intend to simply pipe the stuff to Vancouver to the Burnaby refineries and local oil docks.
Consider the sometimes treacherous, Second Narrows bridge passage and couple that with a massively enhanced volume of supertanker traffic this scheme would entail and then – factoring in the full environmental and economic loss from a spill like that in Vancouver’s Inner Harbour – it’s ridiculous. The risk far outweighs the potential benefits – to British Columbia anyway. The risks borne by Alberta are almost nil yet their benefits are equally certainly guaranteed. We in the middle, British Columbians, are being double-teamed. It’s not right. This is where we’re entitled to expect our national government to intervene, to keep otherwise dominant players, from using us to our risk and their benefit.
