Seculine Twin1 R4N remote control for Nikon works with D700. Quoted range of 100m (I only got mine to work at up to 45 feet outside).
Because it is IR, it is pretty much line of sight, but if you use it indoors you can sometimes bounce the signal off a wall or roof to trigger it from behind the camera.
There are some important switches on the back of the transmitter.... go here to see them:

I got mine at Adorama
The Quarter Dollar has the profile of George Washington on one side. For most of my life the other side contained an imposing, but rather boring Eagle. In 1999, they started jazzing things up a bit.
1932 - 1998 : an eagle with outspread wings.
1999 - 2008 : emblems and symbols of 50 states
2009 : District of Columbia and 5 territories.
2010 - 2011 : images of national monuments of 50 states, District of Columbia, and 5 territories.
Today they managed to have a blizzard in the middle of an arctic front. The temperature is currently -2 °F (-19 °C), with a wind chill of -17 °F (-27 °C). It is supposed to make it all the way up to 0 °F (-18 °C). Woo-hoo!
After the adventure of going to the next building to do my laundry, I decided not to emulate a brass monkey by venturing out today. Instead, I'm adding to my series of the state depictions on the American Quarter. I'm staying in New York and am about 10 miles from the Pennsylvania border, so that explains how I came by those two. I am at a loss, however, to explain how I got ahold of one from American Samoa.
About time to add another coin to the set... At this rate It might take 24 years to get all the coins in the set :-D
This toy stuffed animal bear has been sealed in a black garbage bag for nearly three decades. Resting dormant in complete darkness, silent, forgotten, unplayed with .....maybe even Sad. But it's not real....well it is real....but not alive....but as a kid you pretended that your stuffed animals were real, alive, and gave them personality, movement, expression, and even a name. I remember the last time he saw the light of day. It was at a weekend yard sale at my childhood home. My brothers and I and parents sold a whole bunch of old toys, clothing, and stuff we had outgrown. I remember the stuffed animals priced to sell sitting in a plastic laundry bin....but not this bear. Nobody wanted him...we were only asking 25cents. So the unbought items from the sale either went out to the curbside trash or back in storage. The yard sale ended and with it ended the light of day for this bear. I'm thinking of calling it an extended hibernation....since he has reamerged and it is a bear....but not a real one... not alive.... until you make it alive in your imagination....think about what he must be thinking now after all that time away. So I took out the camera and some lights and made this photo.
Found this pair at a thrift store. I am certain they are hand-knit and they look pretty much brand new. 25cents each. I had seen some similar earlier that same day, but they weren't quite finished and they looked a little sloppy. These guys are well made and complete.
I'm partial to the hand-knit stuff. My mom was a wonderful knitter, but sadly, there will be no more Oma-made things for my kids. Whenever I see things like this at the thrift store; so new and hand-knit; I can't help but wonder if my mom isn't "around somewhere" guiding me towards it. I know she didn't make it herself, but I always feel like somehow there's a part of her in there.
Thanks Emilia for cheering me up with this 25cents Bulldog Bling Bling Necklace from a gumball machine.
I will now proudly wear it concomittantly with my elegant (real silver) vintage red bead necklace. I feel this picture of my necklaces represents the sides of me:
red necklace = unique elegance, curved, soft, refined fashion sense
Bling Bling Bulldog = silly, bulldogish, unpredictable
These two side of me are not paradoxical and can exist at the same time, therefore wearing them together is my own fashion statement!
I wanted to create something interesting for today, 09/09/09. So here it is, 9 photos shot around the house, containing 9s in them. All but one of these shots was taken on my iphone. Should be obvious which one ;)

For dinner two nights ago, sliced this huge Brandywine horizontally yielding two big halves. Drizzled oil, sprinkled salt, dried basil and parmesan cheese, and grilled them close below the fire for perhaps 30 min, until they were beginning to brown. Dried basil on top and sweet grilled peppers on the side. When done, the tomatoes being very liquidy by then, I had to search for a big-enough spatula! Served atop a wedge of vegetable cornbread, with a side of fresh picked corn-on-the-cob. Perfect summer supper.

Day 96
Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness never used a quater in one of these candy vending machines. ;)

About the magazine, which ceased publication in 1956:

About the artist, Anderson:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_C._Anderson
The artist's father was a well-known Hudson River School painter, and his daughter was a watercolorist. Interesting family!
Instructed to make 10+ power point presentations with the theme of 'profitability', I found I didn't like most images I found on Google Image Search and we sure weren't paying shutterstock prices for a couple presentations!
So I made my own.

Good luck there, my neighbor friend! That is the best lemonade I have had in a long time! It hit the spot!
This coin was sent to me by a very dear friend and was minted as a reminder about breast Cancer... I used it to explain about bark dust and you can see the size of the chips and have a reference point...

Boys' Life, April 1959, 25 cents
Mom saved this particular cover and we got it out often to try to identify all the clever word plays.
A 260pc library puzzle, measuring 10x13in cut for the Mont Vernon Puzzle Club (Mrs Emmors, Mount Vernon, Leamington). Although described as 'Egyptian Idol', the image is in fact a clever design for the front cover of MoToR magazine, presumably at the time of some important discoveries in Egypt.
You can see the front cover, of the 25cents magazine from Feb 1909 on this website:
www.aacalibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/1909-Febru...
www.aacalibrary.org/articles/antique-automobile/aacas-mot...
"The June 1908 and February 1909 adopted an Egyptian theme. The color on the February 1909 issue is so vibrant and the author makes playful use of the MoToR logo."
A few years ago, I was going to camp in Prescott and my family got there too early to check in so we went to the ourtdoor market they have on the weekends. My friend and I ran across this little stand with vintage pins for 25cents each and we loaded up on a ton. They're all fantastic and I don't think I wear them nearly enough so lately I've been trying to fix that. They're a fun way to take an otherwise serious, fancy outfit and add a dash of humor.
