Bonnie Cashin, Pioneer Founder of Coach
asked:
Being a transplanted New Yorker as well as a dedicated follower of fashion, I have watched with great interest the resurgence of this company over the past ten years. Coach, whose design creations include handbags, footwear and accessories, has become increasingly popular across all demographics. As is usually the case, the story of the founder can serve as an inspiration to us all.
Coach had its formal beginnings more than fifty years ago in a small Manhattan loft. However, the story really begins in Fresno California in 1908 with the birth of Bonnie Cashin. Even at an early age Bonnie worked with her mother, who was a local dressmaker, and it was here that she was to learn much of the skill set that was to hold her in good stead in her later years. Interestingly enough, she had no formal training in clothing design.
After designing costumes for chorus girls in the Los Angeles area in the 1920′s and early 30′s, Bonnie moved to Manhattan in 1933 and began to extend her reputation by designing for the in-house dance line of the Roxy Theater.
Cashin returned to California in the mid-40′s and spent nearly a decade designing costumes for 20th Century Fox. She was extremely productive in this timeframe, designing costumes for over sixty movie productions including Laura, Anna and the King of Siam and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. She continued to design on the side and won the prestigous Neiman Marcus and Coty Fashion Critic’s awards for the first display offering of her own designs. She became increasingly unhappy with her manufacturer’s control over her creativity during this period and in 1962 she teamed with Miles and Lillian Cahn to launch Coach, a women’s handbag and accessories design firm. This showed an enormous amount of self confidence as women executives in the fashion industry were virtually unheard of.
The newly formed company was a family run workshop that employed six artisans to design a collection of high-quality leathergoods(such as handbags) using skills passed down from generation to generation. It wasn’t long before discerning consumers discovered and began to seek out the unique design and high quality of workmanship found in the companies initial product, the handbag.
As is usually the case, there is an interesting story behind the first creations of the company. Cashin, a baseball fan, got her first handbag design inspiration from, of all things, a baseball glove. She was interested in the way the glove aged, becoming more supple with time, and was fascinated by the distinctive markings that were part of the leather.
Taking this idea, she refined it by making the leather softer and stronger and ended up with the first Coach handbag. Since that time, innovations in leather finishes, new grains and colors and modern materials all played a part in the development of the highly popular and widely acclaimed Coach product lines of handbags, footwear and accessory creations.
Cashin was a visionary in women’s clothing design, most particularly sportswear. But perhaps her most important contribution to the fashion industry was her breaking of the “glass ceiling”, which kept women from positions of leadership in the industry. She serves as a strong inspiration to many who have followed and the new breed of fashion designer has its roots with the Coach founder.
With the death of Cashin in 2000, Coach entered a period of transition while maintaining the quality standards that made the company successful. Coach is now considered a leading light on the landscape of American design and is the legacy of its strong and inspirational founder.

Baden Powell De Aquino – Guitar Pioneer
asked:
Baden Powell was one of the towering figures of the Brazilian Bossa Nova idiom. His music was enjoyed throughout the whole world, and his collaboration with the poet Vinicius de Moraes and interpretations of the work of other composers ensure Baden Powell a place among the masters of Latin music. Many famous Bossa Nova songs were co-written by Baden Powell include Samba de Pintinho, Quaquaraquaqua, Fim de Linha, Valse No. 1, Samba Triste, Tempo Feliz, Cidade Vazia, Babel and Casa Velha. His songs written with Vinicius de Moraes include Para uma Menina com uma Flor and Samba da Bênção which were included on the soundtrack of the 1966 Cannes film festival winner, A Man and a Woman.
The middle years of the twentieth century saw the Brazilian dance music known as Bossa Nova take the world by storm. It is basically the Brazilian Samba informed musically by the chords and harmonies of American jazz. Bossa Nova, which means “new trend” in Brazilian is thought by many to owe its existence to Antonio Carlos Jobim who had an overwhelming love of jazz. Guitar player, Baden Powell, contributed many compositions to the Bossa Nova idiom, and also added his depth of experience absorbed from the world of the classical guitar.

Pioneer Speakers
asked:
Everyone loves to have their dream car or boat that is equipped with the power and luxury that would make us want to live in it. Unfortunately so few of us actually get what we want because these cars cost so much money. There are little things that we can do which can help us transform our old used car into something that looks like new.
One of the first things that many of us will do with our cars or even our boats are to purchase brand new speakers for it. We want to listen to our favorite songs with crystal clear quality and bass that everyone within a mile of us can hear. Although there are many choices and brands to choose from we feel that some of the best come from Pioneer.
These stereo speakers are designed to fit in boats. These are 6 ½ two way speakers that help to offer a new sound quality that is hard to find anywhere else. Because they are built for boats only they are designed with a heavy duty construction that is resistant to water, heat, corrosion, and sunlight. The dimensions are 13.8 x 7.8 x 4.2 inches and cost around 119.
These 3 way speakers are designed for your car and can handle 150 watts. They are designed with a Composite IMPP cone that uses an interlaced Aramid fiber that helps to make it stronger and lightweight. The neodymium magnet helps to provide high performance with low distortion for better listening. It costs around $50 and requires professionals to install it.

How to Do a Custom Pioneer Car Audio Install
asked:
Pioneer car audio install can be done by you. You do not need a professional to come and take your money while it is so easy to plan how to achieve a successful Pioneer car audio install. I have used the word plan because installing any car audio requires exactly that. You need to spare some time and employing lots of concentration will go a long way to help you achieve your goal. Firstly, you need to consider what Pioneer car audio you are installing. They may be stereos, speakers, amplifiers, subwoofers, or even subwoofer boxes. Some of the most tricky to install are speakers and amplifiers. Your chosen Pioneer car audio systems should reflect what you want to gain from the systems. They need to be of the right fit and of very high quality.
Firstly, you need to consider where to get the information that you need. The guides may be in form of manuals or they may be print outs from sites or downloads. Whichever your source is, make sure they have the right information to guide you. Apart from being concise and legible, they should be accurate. If you need to have images to direct you, there are DVDs available to help you go step by step as you install your Pioneer car audio. Make sure you read on the various tips that are available for each car audio product you plan to install. Going through the manual in a car audio store will ensure that those hard or complicated steps are solved by the store staff. You therefore need to visit stores with staff who know about in depth details of a particular product.
Once you have all the information that you need, it is time to go to work. Get the tools that you may need. These tools may be crimping tools. These tools are used with a hammer to crimp terminal into wires. You also need connectors like butt slice connectors. You also need terminals like spade and ring. If there is any soldering to be done, which there usually is, be prepared with the appropriate tools. Take your time to make sure that every detail is in the correct order. For people who wish to rush through things blindly, this is not for them. You need to forget about other things and concentrate especially when you are doing the wiring as you undertake Pioneer car audio install.
When you have done your installation and everything does not work out as you hoped it would, it is not a time to give up. Slowly go through the procedures again and you will find the reason why you went wrong. If this does not work also, look for a professional who is trained to do this and hand over the job to them. The bottom line is to get the car audio safely installed in your car by whichever means possible. There are so many Pioneer car audio install manuals from their site and you can register to receive even more information through your email. When you are content with your results, congratulate yourself for doing a good job. You will feel so good when you know that you have a car audio system installed in your car, that will not disappoint.

Pioneer Car Audio
asked:
Wholesale car audio distributors play a major role in making sure that customers get auto entertainment systems and, ensure that they’re pleased with the automobile audio products. Distributors buy goods in quantities and supply them to the dealers or outlets. They buy these goods from makers or wholesalers who deal with large consignments. It is advisable to buy from distributors who have made a good name for themselves in the business.
Come visit us right here for more info on Rockford Fosgate Car Audio. http://Car-Audio-Electronics.org
The distributors have a relatively low price for the goods and they make their money through massive sales.
The very big distributors are often known as master distributors. They regularly form clubs which provide a chance for them to network with each other. They share ideas as well as get other opportunities to do business. This cooperation is always awfully imperative for progress in business.
If you’d like to become a wholesale auto audio distributor, you need to investigate on the various dynamics of the industry and having theoretical data is simply not enough.
The number one place to be placed is with a distributor who has been in the business for sometime. If you can get free training then count yourself really lucky. So many individuals have invested so much money in the business just to go down. And the reason behind their failure is not the absence of market but , poor calls in management. If you are already in the business, some patience will see your work rewarded. The golden rule however is to supply good products in the most professional way. Wholesale car audio distributors who have been able to master the game continue to enjoy the returns and as you do your survey on the internet you’ll discover that some have created empires which are simply dynamic forces in the business. Shady distributors may go into business but , it never lasts.
The reason is because laws of many countries especially the developed ones have been modeled to discourage illegal dealings. The distributors have invested so much money and tough work to ensure that you like your vehicle entertainment and, therefore it’s good to recognize them as a crucial part of the society. The business will continue to sour to greater heights. .

Coin Collection – How to Collect Pioneer or Private Gold
asked:
The first discoveries of gold in the United States were not in California, as you may have guessed, but in North Carolina and Georgia. Local private minters turned this gold into coins to help alleviate the need for money in the region, especially because most of the output of gold coins from the U.S. Mint was melted for its bullion value as soon as the coins hit the streets.
When gold was discovered in California, new problems arose. Because California was so far removed from the Philadelphia Mint, there was no convenient way to turn gold dust and nuggets into usable coins, which were sorely needed to help regulate and facilitate business among the miners. To the rescue came private minters, who created a variety of different coins. Unfortunately, the temptation to cheat a little was too great, and many of the early pioneer gold coins (as they are known) fail to live up to the values or purity stated on them.
Eventually, the federal government solved the problem by establishing an Assay Office in San Francisco, where raw gold was converted into $10, $20, and $50 gold pieces of standard, reliable weight and purity. When the official mint opened in San Francisco in 1854, most of the private minters went down the drain, but not before leaving a lasting impression on numismatics.
The following are some of the more important issuers of pioneer gold:
Templeton Reid: Templeton Reid operated out of Georgia and made coins from native gold in 1830, becoming the first of our pioneer mints (Guess you could call him a pioneer among pioneers). All his coins are extremely rare.
The Bechtler Family: The Bechtler Family operated a mint in North Carolina in the 1830s and 1840s. They have the distinction of having made the first gold dollars in the United States, beating the U.S. government by 15 years. The Bechtler coins were quaint pieces struck from handmade dies, but they served as important contributions to the economy of the region before the U.S. Mint opened its branches at Charlotte and Dahlonega.
Moffat & Co.: Beginning in 1849, the firm of Moffat & Company began producing high-quality ingots and $5 and $10 gold pieces in San Francisco from newly discovered California gold. Moffat & Co. made lots and lots of coins, but like most pioneer gold coins, they were later melted down. Thank goodness for coin collectors, or none might have been saved!
Clark, Gruber & Co.: Clark, Gruber & Co. operated out of Denver, Colorado, where the firm struck gold coins in 1860 and 1861. Some of its $10 and $20 gold coins have an interesting, stylized version of Pikes Peak on the back.
Wass, Molitor & Co.: Wass, Molitor & Co. produced $5, $10, $20, and $50 gold coins in San Francisco between 1852 and 1855. Its most impressive piece of work was the huge $50 gold piece struck in 1855. This massive piece of gold will set any coin collector’s heart aflutter.
Kellogg & Company: Kellogg & Company operated out of San Francisco, where it produced high-quality $20 and $50 gold coins in 1854 and 1855.
The Mormons: In 1849, Brigham Young established a mint at Salt Lake City and oversaw the production of $2.50, $5, $10, and $20 gold coins. Most of the coins had the inscription G.S.L.C.P.G., which stood for “Great Salt Lake City Pure Gold.” Unfortunately, the gold was neither pure nor from Salt Lake City (it came from California). The Mormons also made $5 gold coins in 1850 and then again in 1860.
California fractional gold coins: California fractional gold coins are actually mini pioneer gold coins of low face value (25¢, 50¢, and $1) that were made by local jewelers and merchants from 1852 to 1882. Hundreds of different varieties exist. Because they are relatively inexpensive compared to the higher-denomination pioneer gold, collectors find them attractive and desirable. But if the denomination is only represented by a fraction, the pieces are likely to be modern, and not made of gold.

Pioneer Ultraslim DVR-XD09 Burner
asked:
The latest findings from research firm DisplaySearch states that the number of available netbooks may reach up to 33 million worldwide in 2009. Measuring and weighing much smaller than the traditional laptops, notebooks and the much smaller netbooks provide a unique method for people to access and browse the Internet, as well as personal e-mails and other digital content.
With the popularity of netbooks and notebooks, however, there is only one problem: They do not have DVD burners. You would probably end up buying a separate DVD burner, but more often than not they are really heavy; a complete hassle if you ask the techies. Pioneer may provide a solution for that dilemma with its spanking new DVR-XD09, an ultraslim and portable DVD/ CD writer that is no larger than a CD case and weighing just about eight ounces.
Simply connect the DVR-XD09 to your netbook or notebook through a USB 2.0 port and you can now easily transport, connect, and back-up important data files almost anywhere you go, with top writing speeds of up to 8x on single-layer media. It also works on multiple computer set-ups.
In addition, users can also archive significant amounts of data as the DVR-XD09 supports dual-layer DVD-R, upgrading the storage capacity of a single layer disc from 4.7GB to 8.5GB. This DVD burner can write files on a dual-layer DVD in speeds of up to 6x.
The new Pioneer DVR-XD09 DVD/ CD computer writer will be available starting August 2009 for a suggested retail price of $79.99.
