The Hook
Hook Lighthouse – The oldest original operating lighthouse in the World.
The existing tower dates from the 12th century, though tradition states that Dubhán, a missionary to the Wexford area, established a form of beacon as early as the 5th century. The headland is known in Irish as Rinn Dubháin, St. Dubhán's Head. However, the similar-sounding Irish word 'duán' means a fish hook, hence the English name. It is known locally as "the Hook."
The tower was built by Strongbow's son-in-law William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, who succeeded Strongbow as Lord of Leinster. Pembroke had established a port in the town of New Ross, approx. 30 km up river. In order for his new port to be successful and for ships to safely reach their destination, Pembroke had a 36m high tower built at the mouth of Waterford Harbour. The exact year of construction is not known, but Pembroke first came to the region in 1201 and the first map that shows the lighthouse serving its function is dated 1240, so construction must have taken place between these dates.
‘By Hook or by Crook’
The well-known phrase ‘by hook or by crook’ is said to have originated from Oliver Cromwell’s vow to take Waterford by Hook (on the Wexford side of Waterford Estuary) or by the village of Crooke, on the Waterford side.
The problem with velcro fasteners on jackets and other clothes is that the little hooks quickly collect any fibers that happen by ...hairs, cat fur, sweater threads, anything, and you have a little fiber museum on your hands. But it makes a good macro with the little clear hooks....

Lorenzo Pandolce, proveniente dal mulino grigio di Ragusa, un eroe che non voleva crescere mai (eccetto i suoi capelli ed un altro organo) è cresciuto!Ed ha dimenticato come si vola!
Dovrà così ritornare nella magica Isola che non c'e' e ritrovare i suoi fantastici amici tra cui Trilli Campanellino Pirlo (interpretata da una conturbante Antony Cut-Irons, reduce dal film campione di incassi "Pretty Uomo" storia di un trans che si prostituisce in allegria), il capo dei bimbi scazzati Enryco (Enry Larvetta fresco di nomination per "Vorrei essere nà palumma") e soprattutto dovrà affrontare il suo più acerrimo nemico: Dave capitan uncino(Davide Rimbaldo al suo ritorno al cinema dopo l'arresto per abuso di ignoranza in luogo pubblico durante le scene del suo prossimo film "Si dice confort e non comfort").
Il perfido pirata che si è fatto impiantare un uncino di ferro, dopo una mirabolante caduta senza senso per uccidere con un calcio volante il folletto dell'assenzio, è deciso a trasformare la sua mano deforme in un oggetto di piacere e tortura per lui e per gli altri, impiantando al posto della mano un giorno un uncino, l'altro un vibratore, l'altro ancora un pugno ancora più grosso del suo. Il suo fido scupino Spugnetta (la turgida Emily Watson in versione nerd) lo aiuterà nell'intento e nella frizzante lotta contro il mitico Pandolce, che nel frattempo si ricorderà come volare, e questa volta senza l'aiuto di polverine magiche, ma solo con la forza del suo corpo.
Si vola!
A deceptively simple yet Kuhl idea. It's a clothing hook mounted to the face frame of the closet shelf. Hang the shirt you are hoping to match up with the pants. Compare side by side. Then find other pants that work. And remember, no stripes with plaid.
He looks young, but has all the characteristics of a Hook family member so I think this could be John.

External-Load training of Echo sod at Buckley AFB. The only reason the crew chief was calling the load from the back was so we could get a shot of him doing the "Tebow" to try and win tickets to the game.
I believe that this is John Hook again.
