St Peter, Neatishead, Norfolk
Here we are in the gently rolling fields and woods to the west of Barton Broad, a gentle patchwork of small hamlets sprawling towards Hoveton. This area of Broadland is not touristy at all, but intensely agricultural, which is perhaps surprising given its proximity to Wroxham. But there is a feeling of remoteness. Neatishead is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, a large parish with several settlements and in one of them, Three Hammer Common, you find the church. At first sight this is a relatively insignificant little building set back from the road at the end of a long avenue of pollarded trees. However, the more you look at it the more interesting it gets, for what you see today is in fact merely the surviving chancel of what was once a vast church, stretching back as far as the road.
The church was probably the work of the 14th Century, and the surviving remnant was patched up in the 1790s. The tower had come down about a century earlier, and perhaps this was what damaged the nave beyond repair, although of course the change from an emphasis on private devotional worship to public congregational worship at the Reformation meant that parishes with a small population had no longer any need of a huge church, and there are many examples in East Anglia of aisles being demolished to make the nave smaller, and a couple of examples in Suffolk of the nave being demolished leaving only the chancel for worship, which is effectively what has happened here. No traces remain at all of the ruins.
Because of the date, the reimagining of the church was done with a preaching house rather than a sacramental building in mind. The entrance at the west end is simple and apparently old. Pevsner thought it might be a reuse of the original west doorway, but it is just as likely to have been a former south or north aisle entrance. Above it was reset a strange relief that is presumably the side of a former memorial tombchest. It serves no purpose and probably they did it just because it looked grand.
Inside, the overwhelming sense is of a well-kept, well-loved building. A watery light plays across dark wood and the font, a trim traceried work of the 14th Century which survives from the medieval church. Some of the woodwork also survives from the earlier church, including a 16th century pulpit and, most memorably, an unusual 15th Century bench end of what appears to be a gryphon holding a bearded head in its beak, probably a reference to St John the Baptist.
There are several glimpses of the life of Neatishead a century ago. A rare surviving Girls Friendly Society banner hangs at the west end. This Anglican society began in the years before the First World War to care for girls away from home in service. Surprisingly, it still survives today in a different form, working with girls in deprived areas. And the church has no less than three separate memorials to young men killed in the First World War. They were all in their mid-twenties.

These Wii remote and nunchuck are all Nintendo official controllers. To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated. The outcome is the Wii Remote controller. Nintendo fused the familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device for the ages!Sporting the size of a traditional remote control. The wireless Wii Remote controller is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket you swing with your arm. In a driving game, it serves as your steering wheel. For first-person shooters, the remote acts as your weapon that you point at an enemy. The list of potential uses goes on and on.Using Bluetooth technology. The wireless Wii Remote controller sends your actions to the Wii console from as far as 30 feet away. As a pointing device, the controller can send a signal from as far as 15 feet away. Up to four Wii Remote Controllers can be connected at once, making for some great multiplayer fun!

The yokel controlling the tractor is a perfect specimen of the use of bizarre examples. I love the fact that he's not even watching the tractor; just gawping moronically
ahead!
"What's next, Charles?"
"'Remote'."
"Hmm. Let's have a yokel operating a remote control tractor."
"Consider it done. I know a farmer chap who'll pose for sixpence."

A remote control for XBMC that I'm writing in html/css/js, based on the Nokia WRT specs, running in the WRT test-environment. Here it is showing the server-details because a connection could not be made (XBMC not running...)
This is a board made for amateur radio operators to help remote antenna control. It will communicate over isolated RS485 and control a VFD or contactor operated motor to turn an antenna towards a signal from the comfort of your radio shack.
Need to remove the skin or at least cut some holes in it so the connector will touch the base station to recharge.
