Loading a block programatically

block.php

<?php
$module = "boxes"; // this is the name of whatever module actually creates the block, I so happen to love boxes.
$delta = "video_homepage_footer"; // this is the machine name of the block (or in this case box)
$block = (object) module_invoke($module, 'block', 'view', $delta);
$block->module = $module;
$block->delta = $delta;
print theme('block', $block);
