Nicole Miller Talks Hamptons Happening Event, New Rosé, Candace Bushnell's 'Sex and the City'-inspired Book
RAISE A GLASS: Nicole Miller will be honored by the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation at the 15th annual Hamptons Happening on July 13.
As this year's fashion honoree, Miller will be joined at the cancer research benefit by chef honoree Lidia Bastianich, business honoree Antonella Bertello and restaurateur honoree Ian Duke. Miller first teamed with the SWCRF in 2014 to launch the Collaborating for a Cure Ladies Luncheon and she staged a fashion show. In the years that followed, other designers have done the same, helping to raise a total of more than $ 600,000 for cancer research. Miller said of the SWCRF, "They're big on genetic research and the future of cancer care."
This summer's SWCRF event will feature a "Tour de Cuisine" theme with gourmet food, wine and spirit tastings. Miller has been going to the Hamptons on a consistent basis for more than 20 years, which is when she and her husband first bought a house there. She will be hosting her own East End events this summer.
Her summer entertaining will include bottles of her new signature rosé. "I love sipping rosé in the summer. The opportunity just came up. What's great about it is it's from Bordeaux; it's

Nicole Miller RTW Pre-Fall 2019
Nicole Miller featured her pre-fall collection on a character who embodied its mix of tough and tender — model and professional skydiver Alyona Subbotina.
"I had such a strong personality wear them. She worked into the story because I felt I always design for that strong girl who has the feminine soft side and the edge together," Miller mused. Camouflage prints with tiny flowers were mixed with dark floral prints on multiple easy dresses, and most memorably on an oversize utility coat. One little black dress had bows sewn all over it. "If you're a goody-two-shoe, you make it all bows, and if you're a badass, you make it all knots or let it hang, but I showed it half and half for duality," the designer explained.
Miller referred to her light-colored floral frocks as "the sweeter things in life," and mixed in bomber jackets and half-leather, half-cotton denim pants to toughen them up.

2018 Cannes Film Festival: Vanessa Redgrave and Sienna Miller Among Hosts at AmfAR Gala
WOMAN'S HOUR: Female directors may have gotten short shrift in the official lineup of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, with only three women-helmed films in competition, but amfAR's annual Cinema Against AIDS gala should help make up for it.
The non-profit organization said on Tuesday it has selected 25 women from the worlds of fashion and film to be the honorary chairs of the event's 25th edition, to be held at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes on May 17.
They include Sienna Miller and Vanessa Redgrave — both vocal supporters of the Time's Up and #MeToo movements — Katy Perry, Aishwarya Rai, Heidi Klum, Linda Evangelista, Angela Missoni and Donatella Versace.
The theme of this year's Carine Roitfeld-curated benefit fashion show, starring 40 top models in one-of-a-kind looks from a range of brands, will be "And Woman Created All."
Grammy Award-winning artist Pharrell Williams will be the night's headlining act.
The late Dame Elizabeth Taylor — amfAR's founding international chairman — hosted the foundation's first ever Cannes gala in 1993, with personalities including President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, Sir Elton John and Madonna carrying the torch in subsequent years.
Bold Films and Chopard are the main sponsors of this year's

Nicole Miller Designs Tour Outfit for Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea Ballerini has upped her fashion game for her new headlining tour.
The singer, who was the first female country music artist to have a number-one hit with her debut single, "Love Me Like You Mean It," has turned to Nicole Miller to create two custom pieces for her "Unapologetically" tour.
"Unapologetically" is the title of her second studio album and she's touring this spring with Walker Hayes as the opening act.
"I met Kelsea several years ago and was very impressed by her poise and self-confidence," Miller said. "I knew she would be hugely successful. I've been dressing her for a variety of performances ever since. It's been a lot of fun designing for her because her style is so adventurous. Not to mention, I am a big fan of her music and have been fortunate enough to see her perform.
"Kelsea wanted me to design something for the first few songs of her album, which represents loss. I wanted to stay true to the theme, while creating something unique that she would feel confident wearing. I designed a custom black sequin trench that she loved so much she asked for a second version, which we made in pink. She now wears that

Nicole Miller Teams With Puppies Behind Bars for Limited-Edition Dog Accessories
OUT OF THE DOG HOUSE: Nicole Miller has linked with Puppies Behind Bars, an organization that teaches inmates to train service dogs for wounded war veterans, and canines for explosives detection for law enforcement. Most of the puppies enter the prison when they are eight weeks old and remain there for 24 months. To help spread the word about the group's efforts, the designer has created a $ 40 dog bowl and a $ 20 phone case with all of the proceeds going to Puppies Behind Bars. Miller will host an event for the group on Oct. 17 in her SoHo flagship. Dogs from Puppies Behind Bars will be on hand, and guests are welcome to bring their own dogs as well.
Miller initially collaborated with the nonprofit years ago, creating dog collars for the organization. She also had an honorary dog at one point and the inmate who was training the dog wrote to her periodically to tell her about its progress. "The inmates train the dogs, which I think is fantastic therapy for the inmates. But apparently, my dog was not very happy about being locked up. So after he was there a year they took him out because he was

Simon Miller RTW Spring 2018
The Congolese rainforest — vibrant with the colors of flowers, plants and animals — inspired Simon Miller's spring collection. Vivid hues, including pink, yellow and blue, gave an energetic, positive vibe to the clothes, which were cut mostly in loose, comfortable silhouettes. Natural fabrics, such as organic cotton and linen, enhanced the nature-friendly appeal of the lineup, which was presented in a venue filled with flowers and tropical plants. Wide-legged pants were matched with roomy, cropped sweaters and elongated, softly tailored jackets. The image of an abstract bird was printed on fluid silk separates, while a pretty yellow suit was crafted from lamb leather with a paperlike effect. Creative directors Chelsea Hansford and Daniel Corrigan were also influenced by the works of abstract painter Leonardo Urso; he inspired the paint-rolled denim pants trimmed with a plissé insert. Introducing a more urban, sleeker vibe into the collection, the designers delivered patent-leather skinny pants and a dark indigo bustier top worn with matching pants for a touch of feminine sensuality.

Nicole Miller RTW Fall 2017
"Gypsy Grunge" was the inspiration behind Nicole Miller's fall lineup, as she worked tarot cards, constellations, dragons and mystical symbol motifs on a range of cool bomber jackets and embellished dresses. Backstage, Miller said this collection is for "my downtown girl who went to get her fortune read by a tarot-card reader, and then went out on the town and ended up getting Chinese food."
She must have had a good fortune. The collection was youthful and fun as Miller mixed quirky printed dresses and plaid boyfriend shirts. Key looks included a plaid asymmetric bomber dress with an occult symbol shirt, a floral jacquard high-low dress worn over a gray shirt and a plaid shirt tied at the waist, a dragon-embroidered bomber over a star-and-floral dress and a reefer coat with patches over a bandana-embellished jogger.
Although some of the prints and embellishments leaned a little kitsch — such as a fortune cookie print — overall, it was a fun and lively show.

Sienna Miller Pokes Fun at Herself, Wears Ridiculous Outfit to Walk Around Her Neighborhood
This Vogue video of Sienna Miller poking fun at herself brightened my morning so much (pre-coffee!) that I had to share. I've had a style-based crush on Sienna ever since the world was introduced to her, and now I'm also of the opinion that she's just kind of a hilarious, awesome all-around girl. If you can be so silly and make fun of how whack-a-doo people sometimes wonder if celebs are, you're clearly pretty amazing.
In it, she welcomes the videographer to her "physical space," talks about loving her daughter while sipping from a mug that says "children are maggots" and takes her two dogs on a walk wearing a fantastic-if-ridiculous outfit of pom-pom-topped baseball cap, bold heels, and two pieces that loudly say her name (an embroidered bomber jacket and personalized Fendi top-handle bag).
Watch and tell me if you loved it as much as I did.

A Quick Chat with Steve Miller and Journey's Neal Schon & Jonathan Cain, Plus Introducing Jamie Eblen
A Conversation with Steve Miller and Journey's Neal Schon & Jonathan Cain
Mike Ragogna: Journey and the Steve Miller Band recorded a few of the most popular albums ever made, especially Escape and Greatest Hits 1974-1978. And soon, you'll be touring together with Tower Of Power. What is it about your bands that resonated with pop culture?
Steve Miller: I think Journey and Tower Of Power and the Steve Miller Band, we're all part of the core of original groups in the San Francisco music scene. This is a social phenomenon as well as a musical phenomenon. These bands are an integral part of music and art and production of a whole new approach to music. Once you start changing the way people attend concerts, what happens to concerts, then you're in an unusual creative environment that San Francisco was in for three decades–really, the sixties, the seventies, and the eighties. There's really just an amazing amount of creativity that came out of there. I think that's what shaped bands like Journey and us. We made a lot of records. If you look at Journey, "Don't Stop Believing" and all the albums that they put out in a row–Infinity and then Evolution, Departure, Escape, Frontiers–that was like in five years. I think we put out five albums in the first eighteen months that we started recording. Five albums in eighteen months is pretty amazing. The creativity was fast and the response from the audiences was instant.
At the same time we're doing this, we were building brand new stages, brand new sound systems, brand new light shows. All that really added, I think, to what made the music mean more than just a string of hits. Tower Of Power is in there too. This is a phenomenal band. When you look at the music that came out of it, it makes sense that it's become so classic. Journey proves it, Tower Of Power proves it, people are still listening to these songs, they're still buying these songs and they're still coming out and they want to hear and see the bands perform. So that's a different thing from just producing hit music and writing hit singles. There's a lot more to it than just that music.
Neal Schon: I think the reason Journey is still prominent and out there is because we basically work our asses off and tour every year and continually play the music and have new audiences coming all the time, maintaining younger fans. Also I think we just got it right. We wrote a lot of really great songs, the three of us–myself, Steve Perry, and Jonathan Cain. We just got some things right, and I think that's why it's etched in stone.
Jonathan Cain: I'd say the thing is that time period that [we all] had our success, people were hungry for the combination. American music is blues, it's pop, it's soul, and it's the combination that makes it unique. I think all of us have that in common. We grew up loving soul and the blues and great melodies. I think the melodies were contagious, they were in the air, people wanted to be able to sing along with stuff, people wanted to party. We had Bill Graham, one of the greatest promoters of all time. He really invented the rock concert. He was a local guy who brought the Bay area together. We had the Bammies–the Bay Area Music Awards–a brotherhood celebration, if you will, of artists who shared the passion in the Bay area. It was a time and place when the Forty-Niners were close to the town and they would show up with Bill Graham at concerts.
I think we in the seventies and eighties enjoyed some of the greatest moments with our fans because the ticket prices weren't crazy, they were out there buying our albums–two hundred and fifty thousand a week. It's unheard of, that amount of participation with our fans, sharing this thing, and we happened to [be on] one of the greatest record companies in the business, Columbia. There were a lot of shiest-y ones that didn't pay you. But I have to say, Columbia always took care of us. Their army of soldiers helped sell these phenomenal records, well over a hundred million, which is hard to believe. We would not be the brand without all of those wonderful people who helped us in those years.
It took a village to make a hit record, to make brands like Journey and the Steve Miller Band last. We had the good fortune of having all of those people, the distributors, the handlers, the ones that got the records out to the stores before Best Buy and all these other people took over, that was amazing. You go to met these folks; they were grassroots people. We were very blessed to have that kind of backing. I think that contributes to a lot of our success today, while we were still out there doing it. Without the radio people–the DJs, the personalities, the Kid Leos of the world who promoted bands and had you on the radio that wanted to know how you were and had you on an interview; those kind of things where you actually went on a radio station and talked to the city and checked in with those people. "How are you doing?" That was an amazing time, where artists really got a look at the fans they were looking at, taking phone calls on the air, and really, really knowing your audience, looking them in the eye, saying, "Yeah!" Me joining Journey with Steve Perry was a crapshoot. They picked me out of The Babys and little did I know how much Steve and Neal and I would have in common musically. Together, we wrote some pretty cool songs. I'm very proud of that.
MR: What advice do you have for new artists?
NS: My son is an aspiring guitarist and he's amazing, I'm always looking for ways to help him out and get him out there–with the demise of record stores and pretty much the whole record industry I tell him, "You've got to go out and you have to play and you have to be seen." It's very difficult, I realize it is, for young artists to be seen because it's so backwards. It's A-S-S-backwards! You have to pay to play a lot of times in these clubs, a lot of Mom & Pop clubs are closing down, so it's very difficult. But I just say, "Jam with whomever you can, who's got a decent name and a decent band and be seen as much as you can in a live sense."
JC: My advice to new artists is to be true to what you believe you're best at, and not to try to chase the trend. If you're a hip-hop guy, stay a hip-hop guy. If you're a rock guy, be the best rock guy you can be. Go with your strengths and try to get your music and your brand out there on the internet. It's really the best place, with social media and all these sites that you can go on and put your music out there. Just try not to give it away. That's the one problem…people are giving out their music for free.
MR: Steve, what is your advice for new artists?
SM: My advice for new artists is to forget about all of this and take acting and dancing lessons and become a video star.
MR: [laughs] But what if they'd prefer to play music?
SM: I'll tell you the truth. When I started playing, the only hope there was, was to work in night clubs. This was before San Francisco. When San Francisco opened up, I left Chicago where I played with Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf and James Cotton and Junior Wells and Buddy Guy and immediately went to San Francisco because it was a chance to play in a ballroom to twelve hundred people instead of a bunch of drunks in a nightclub. It's sort of like the same world for new artists. It seemed impossible when I was a kid. I never thought that I would be able to make any kind of records and never thought seriously about a musical career because a musical career was being Fabian or Frankie Avalon or something. It didn't make any sense. There wasn't any possibility to get into that world.
It's kind of like that for kids now. I just had an eighteen year-old kid opening for me in Canada a couple weeks ago, Matthew Curry. Wonderful guitar player, great songwriter, in the Stevie Ray Vaughan area of virtuosity and originality. He's really great. I'm looking at this kid and he's driving in a van so he can open for us. I brought him up on stage to play with us and I'm sitting there trying to figure out, "How is this kid going to actually make it in this world where it takes five million dollars and a corporate sponsorship from Pepsicola to have a hit record nowadays?" It takes thirty million dollars to sell two million albums; it's crazy.
I don't really have any instant advice for these kinds of kids except to be true to yourself. Suffer for your art and hang on and maybe something will change where you actually have a chance. Right now, I don't think they have much of a chance. I think all this "Get it on the internet!" stuff is BS and nonsense. You have to really connect with people. There aren't very many clubs, there's no place for people to develop and play. It's a bad time right now for young artists. It's not always about huge, giant commercial success; it's about art, it's about creativity, it's about virtuosity. I worry about that, because it doesn't look really good, but when I was a kid, it didn't look good either. Big time success then was to be on a bus with seven other bands doing a gig where you did ninety shows in eighty days. I wasn't kidding when I said, "Take acting lessons and work on your video," because without that…
JC: Steve, we can look at a guy like Joe Bonamassa. I wrote a couple of songs on his album and Joe has forged a career out of basically using internet and his live playing and staying current with his fans and has made a career.
SM: Joe's like me! He's a guy who won't be denied. Joe Bonamassa's been grinding now for twenty years. He plays club by club, small gig by small gig, going to Europe and working and working and working and working and working and people love him and he's a great guitar player. He should be forty times the size of the artist he is.
JC: Sure, but he's still surviving in this business. My hat goes off to him.
SM: Oh, me too. My point is he's tougher than five thousand other guitar players for all those reasons. That's how hard it is to actually make it. He's a perfect example of somebody who's really, really strong and works really hard. He knows who he is and what he's doing; he's not some talented little kid with a manager who's going to make his career. That's rare…that's really, really rare. There are a lot of great guitar players that you never get to hear. It's been that way all my life. You finish doing a gig in front of twenty thousand people and go back to the hotel to The Boom-Boom Room at the top of The Sheraton and there'll be some guy in there who will blow you away that nobody will ever hear of because they're not tough enough to win in this gangster world of music, you know?

A Conversation with JuiceBox and The Rad Trad's Jamie Eblen
Mike Ragogna: Jamie! Okay, first of all, what is JuiceBox up to lately?
Jamie Eblen: JuiceBox is in a transitional phase. We just started working with new management and getting new gig opportunities. We also recorded an EP, First Cut, about a year ago, and at this point we've got about two more EPs' worth of material, so we're trying to figure out a time to get back into the studio more. And we're gearing up for some shows this summer, so lots of things are in the works.
MR: Great. What are you doing regarding the EP? Is it only online, or are you pressing physical products?
JE: We do have physical CDs that you can order off our website, and we've also been making downloads available through iTunes and Band Camp, as well as CD Baby and I think Amazon.
MR: Do you find there are more sales from downloads or CDs?
JE: I'd say we get more downloads because the only place we're really selling CDs is at shows, and the sales there are definitely less. It's an impulse buy in a lot of ways.
MR: Gotta have the swag too, no?
JE: We're working on getting some merchandise together. We don't have shirts or anything like that at this point. It's pretty much the CDs and the business cards… so you know where to find us!

MR: [laughs] How did you get your gig with JuiceBox?
JE: I was the last member to come in. The band kind of formed out of a collection of people at NYU. Our singer, Lisa Ramey, is the only other one who didn't go to NYU, and I came on late in the game because they were going on a tour to Italy and the drummer couldn't make it. Nick Myers, the saxophone player, called me and said, "Hey, man, you wanna go to Italy?" I had just come back from study abroad in Florence for five months, and I was about to jump on any opportunity to go back to Italy, so that's kind of how I came into it. They had existed for about a year or two before I joined them.

MR: But you came into it with a solid jazz background, in addition to a rock background.
JE: Yeah. My favorite drummer hands down is John Bonham, so I'm always coming from that and the jazz perspective, as well as funk and soul. But the band definitely has a jazz vibe to it, with the horns, guitar and organ; our organist Dave Mainella is fantastic. So it's got a lot of different stuff happening, which is what I really enjoy about the band.
MR: Your parents, Ed Eblen and writer Robyn Flans, are pretty much music biz fixtures.
JE: They definitely are. Both have great faith in music, my dad being a drummer and my mom being a person who writes about drummers and musicians. So it's been a life full of music education.
MR: Your dad taught you how to play, right?
JE: Yeah. I spent a lot of time digging up old drums with my dad and figuring out how to play rock beats that he taught me. When I was really young I had a little CB drum set. I got that when I was in sixth grade, and he taught me rock beats. Also he and my mom hooked up Ed Shaughnessy's old drum set to be in my bedroom. So that was kind of amazing to have that.
MR: Was that inspirational?
JE: A little bit, yeah. The first groove I learned on that drum set that my dad helped me with was the "Come Together" groove.
MR: Nice. Your dad's very experienced, having played in a lot of clubs and with different bands in California, Nashville, and all sorts of places.
JE: Yeah, Vegas, Nashville, New York recently; many different places. So over the course of time I imagine I will have travelled a lot of the same places as he has. I just went on tour with another band, and I was calling him from different places, like, "Hey, I'm in Indiana now, you ever been here?" It was funny.
MR: What are the elements of JuiceBox, insofar as how do you guys create the material?
JE: I would say it's very democratic; someone brings an idea or a really fleshed-out song, it varies, and then we all sit together, play through it a bunch, talk about it, but we try to keep it mostly to the playing. I find that, as a band, when we get to work and just play the song over and over it sort of evolves over the course of a rehearsal. And then we record a tape, send it out, everyone listens to it, and then we workshop it the next time. But it all starts either with a jam vibe, which I'd say is less happening now because everyone's bringing songs to the band then having band fully flesh them out. Or people will bring out fully written out charts. It varies.
MR: Are you hoping the listener is grooving to the music and wants to dance to it, and/or do you want them to just sit back and listen to the arrangements?
JE: Ideally, we play a room with a wide-open floor, no tables, no chairs, and a lot of people. That's our ideal room. But we do a lot of other stuff. We play this club in New York called The General, and that's much more of a dinner club vibe, and they've got tables and chairs and people sit. And they're grooving, and I'd say that's what we want. We want people grooving. If they're grooving in their chairs, that's fine with me.
MR: Did you bring in any of your Broadway experience into the group, you know, because you've been in Broadway musicals, etc.?
JE: Yeah. I've worked with Jason Robert Brown on various projects; Honeymoon in Vegas the most recent. There are a lot of things I bring from that experience. They all inform one another–the JuiceBox experience, the musical theater thing, playing a lot of different percussion, I'd say is an interesting thing about the Broadway world that I would be carrying over into JuiceBox. It's hands-on a lot of different stuff which is a great sound for both vibes.
MR: You're based out of Brooklyn. So they actually have music in Brooklyn? Whaaa?
JE: [laughs] I think it's at a great place. There's a lot of great music to find pretty much every night, and a lot of it's close to me, and there're music clubs opening up all the time. I'd say it's definitely a burgeoning scene. I don't know if there's anything specifically at the helm of the Brooklyn scene because there are so many different things happening. It's indie, and whatever it is that encompasses that. Folk rock; funk and jazz; it's kind of a hodgepodge, which I think is what Brooklyn's great at, but it's also not necessarily focused. Right where I live in Prospect Heights there's two jazz clubs within walking distance, and lots and lots of musicians. We have sessions at my apartment all the time with various jazz guys, or the Trad jazz band that I have.
MR: So, Jamie Eblen of Juicebox and let's not forget The Rad Trads. What do you want to do with your life, young man!
JE: [laughs] It's an interesting time right now. There's a lot of different stuff that's happening, but not necessarily a lot of stuff that's happening right now, if that makes sense. This Broadway thing's on hold; all this JuiceBox stuff is happening, and JuiceBox is my passion project; I write for this band and it's very important to me. So I'm trying to go where the wind blows me, but I'm still involved in all of these things which is ideally what I want. It's a limbo moment.
MR: What influences have Brooklyn and Manhattan had on your music?
JE: The vibes from across the river and in Brooklyn are very different, but you can find a lot of the same things in both places. I'd say every time we play a Brooklyn show, we're playing to a lot of really excited young people, which is what we love to do. People who are either just out of school, still in school, or ten years out of school. And sometimes when we play Manhattan, especially at more dinner club vibes, that's definitely an older crowd sitting and grooving to the music, which we love equally as much. But it is a much different vibe and we bring a different energy…not that we bring a different energy, but there's a different energy in the room when we play those opposing shows.
MR: Where to do you feel jazz is going?
JE: Honestly, I don't know. Modern jazz is modern jazz and that will be a thing that's happening. I listened to a lot of it years ago, and my personal taste has taken me elsewhere. I'm sure I'll come back to it, but there's an interesting resurgence of hot jazz and that kind of thing in New York City. People love that, and there's tons of it.
MR: Does it feel like your career is coming at you quickly now?
JE: It's kind of an illusion; it feels like that, but it's not necessarily the case. I'll wake up every day and think, "Okay, same thing," and I never think it's going to be a thing where I wake up and something's different. But as I said, a lot of things are on hold, so it seems like I'm just in a crazy place.
MR: You also have a wonderfully talented musical sister, Taylor Leigh Eblen, right?
JE: [laughs] I do. She's currently working on her teaching degree at Queens College. She's doing really well, she loves teaching and working with kids.
MR: Does she ever jam with you?
JE: Most recently, we've just been working on music together. She has to learn a lot of percussion and other instruments for her classes. She has to be able to do everything at least a little bit, so I've been working with her on percussion stuff, so we haven't really had time just to jam recently.
MR: Do you think that may be coming down the pike at some point? The Eblen assault on the music world?
JE: Definitely. I'd love to collaborate with her and record some stuff.
MR: What's your advice for new artists?
JE: It depends on where you are. I'm very New York City-minded right now, but I'd say to just keep on keeping on. That's my thing, because you go through very different phases, highs and lows, and you have to be as stable as you can be and still enjoy every moment of it.
MR: Stable as in trying to have a stable life?
JE: Stable as in not letting what you do affect how you live. If things aren't going well, then not treating that as an excuse to not live healthily.
MR: Nice. Speaking of living healthily, rumor has it you currently are living in an apartment with about ten people…
JE: [laughs] I'd say during the weekdays, it's five and during the weekends, it's twelve. We have a lot of people coming through this apartment–people from Boston, people from Philly, etc.; friends to play music. It's crazy but it's really fun. So yes, I currently live with four other guys also doing music and writing-relating adventures.
MR: Has the environment evolved into a workshop?
JE: Yes, in a lot of ways. Everyone's been picking up the sticks recently and we have drum circles, and people listen to other people's songs and we learn and play them, so it's a pretty cool vibe we've got going on here.
MR: We spoke about Manhattan and Brooklyn, but you've been a bit of a globetrotter, as well. Is it a goal to play more places in the world?
JE: Oh, definitely. That's a major goal for me. That's my motivation for all of this, the motivation to travel. I love doing that and playing music abroad and experiencing different cultures, through music especially. I find that sharing that experience with any audience is pretty universal, but it's also different in each place you go, and that I love. JuiceBox went to Italy twice now, and both times were so incredible.
MR: How do you picture yourself five years from now?
JE: That's a tough question. I'm loving living in New York City right now, but I would say that with how expensive things are here, I would need to be at the next level musically, gigging and all that, just to be able to live comfortably. And going back to L.A. isn't really a thing I want. In five years I want to be here but also traveling. I'd love that. Spending a little time in New York and a lot of time somewhere else, and using New York as a launching pad. Traveling the US is something I'd really like to do, too, because I haven't done a lot of it.
MR: Think you might be working on any sort of father/son project with your dad?
JE: There's been nothing talked about, but that sounds awesome. I'd definitely be down to record some drums. We've jammed and worked on music in the past, but nothing is officially documented, and that is something to be done.

Success Story: Mobile Lab Detects Ad Dollars
Court TV's Mobile Investigation Unit, a traveling forensics lab, will roll into 23 cities this summer, including Albuquerque, N.M., and Pittsburgh, allowing area multiple system operators to bankroll a little extra ad revenue.
The lab made the rounds to as many cities last year and was quite successful, said Tom Wolfe, senior VP, affiliate ad sales, for Court TV, which is 50 percent owned by AOL Time Warner and 50 percent by Liberty Media Corp.
"The MIU helped local affiliates generate approximately $1.2 million in potential revenue," Mr. Wolfe said. "Some Time Warner [MSOs] brought in incremental revenue that took them from 25 percent of the sponsor's budget to 60 percent."
Last year's MIU exhibit let visitors view a simulated "caper scene" on a series of interactive kiosks. This summer the audience will watch one of eight 20-minute-long performances of a caper scene. Afterward, participants will be asked to help gather clues.
Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City, Kan., sponsored one of the events last summer on its premises.
"The client was happy with the turn of events," said "Fast" Eddie Hall, promotions specialist for Time Warner ad sales in Kansas City, Mo. "They received 250 promotional commercials and 250 taggable program sponsorships."
"Everything is about generating revenue for our owner-partners," said Evan Shapiro, senior VP, marketing, for Court TV. "We are seeing our relationship strengthen with them because they can get new clients and incremental revenue and be a brand builder for their potential clients."
The Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan., DMA has a 67 percent cable penetration, according to BIA Financial Network, which also reports that the market saw $162 million in TV ad revenue in 2003.

About Linnaeus
The history of the society
The history of the Linnaeus garden
The history of the Linnaeus museum
About Linnaeus and his disciples
One of the main tasks for the Swedish Linnaeus Society upon its foundation in 1917 was the publication of the writings of Linnaeus and his disciples. Most of the publications are in Swedish.
Over the years, The Swedish Linnaeus Society Yearbook (SLÅ) has dealt with other topics from medical and natural history, and studied the generations immediately before and after Linnaeus. In addition, two series were begun, Skrifter utgivna av Svenska Linnésällskapet (Writings Published by the Swedish Linnaeus Society) and Valda avhandlingar av Carl von Linné i översättning utgivna av Svenska Linnésällskapet (Selected Dissertations by Carl Linnaeus in translation published by the Swedish Linnaeus Society), however both were discontinued after one or two issues. The publication of Selected Dissertations restarted in 1947 and continued until 1973, and restarted again for the period 2007 to 2012.
Among the other publication projects one can mention Resa till Lycklige Arabien, Petrus Forsskåls dagbok 1950 (Diary of a journey to Arabia Felix, Petrus Forsskål). Together with Uppsala University, in 1943 the Society published the tenth volume of Linnés brevutgivningen, vol II:2, Den utländska brevväxlingen, Brugmans-Burman (Linnaeus' published correspondence, vol. II:2, Foreign correspondence, Brugmans-Burman). The Society had the overall responsibility for the restarted publication of Linnaeus' letters fom 1995 to 2012.
An anniversary publication on the occasion of the Society's first hundred years was released in 2018: I Linnés fotspår. Svenska Linnésällskapet 100 år by Erik Hamberg.
The publication of selected dissertations clearly shows the versatility of Linnaeus the scientist.

Do you have breakdown cover for your motorhome?
What would you do if your 'van had a problem on tour? Our Diamond Dave underlines the importance of getting breakdown cover – having learned the hard way
By Dave Newell
This tale of gearbox gremlins is a reminder of why you need to make sure you have breakdown cover for your motorhome
What plans do you have for dealing with a 'van breakdown?
Whether it's a puncture or dashboard warning light, or even a more serious problem such as a gearbox failure, do you know what you would do?
Most people don't seem to think about the possibility of a problem, and quite a few have no contingency plans at all. In fact, I used to be one of those.
Are you covered?
Being a trained mechanic, I never felt the need for breakdown cover. That was until our gearbox snapped its mainshaft at the end of a 10-day holiday just as we tried to pull o€ff our pitch…
After that incident, I now ensure that I have breakdown cover that will get my family and my motorhome either to a garage for repair or, better still, returned home where I can carry out the repairs myself.
The problem certainly highlighted the importance of taking proper precautions.
On that occasion – when the gearbox spat out its bits – a friend took my wife, children and dog home while the site manager towed our stricken camper to an out-of-the-way spot.
A few phone calls found me a secondhand gearbox and a good friend who could pick it up and deliver it to me.
Four days later I returned home with the camper. I then had to remove the 'new' gearbox and rebuild it due to most of the bearings being shot. The racket it made on the way home was terrible!
Ignorance isn't bliss
I have frequently read on internet forums about people seeing warning lights on their dashboard, but they carried on driving because the vehicle "felt okay".
I've even read of those with an earlier Fiat Ducato who have had fifth-gear failure, but who continued the journey using fourth instead. In fact, one of the latter recently came to see me.
It was a couple who live close to us. Their story was that they were trundling down through France last summer and were crossing the Millau Viaduct when the gearbox dropped fifth gear.
Being in the middle of the bridge, they selected fourth and carried on. But, not many miles later, the 'box collapsed altogether with a loud bang and lots of crunching sounds.
The 'van in question was a 1988 Swift Kon-Tiki on the two-litre petrol-engined Ducato (Talbot Express).
Their recovery service brought the vehicle back home, where it sat at the back of their drive for months. But, with a new season of motorcaravanning begging their indulgence, they approached me with a view to fixing the motorhome.
Now, I don't normally take on big jobs like this, because there's only me in the workshop. But I felt quite sympathetic towards the couple, and grudgingly agreed to see what I could do.
Oily issues
Once the motorhome was at my workshop, I soon had the gearbox out. Thankfully the old Express is a much simpler beast to work on than modern vehicles, and in less than two hours the unit was on the bench.
Removal of the fifth-gear housing revealed a very sad sight, with just about all of the gear teeth being separated from the gears themselves.
I did enquire with a couple of local transmission repairers, but they both said the same thing – "can't get the bits, mate".
However, a couple of hours spent trawling the internet found me a used-but-good-condition 'box. It was in Scotland, but delivery was available for a fair price.
While the 'box was out I fitted a new clutch. All the engine mountings were very tired, too, so they will also be replaced.
There won't be much change out of a thousand pounds by the time it's all done, but the couple love their 'van and really want to get it fixed.
The moral of the story
So, what can you learn from this? If your gearbox drops a gear, immediately pull over to the side of the road and call out the breakdown people.
I think I found the cause of the failure, too: a drastic lack of oil in the 'box. When I removed the drain plugs, about half an eggcup-worth came out of the entire 'box – it should have had two litres in it.
Even though there were no obvious signs of major leaks, the underside of the 'van had a liberal coating of thick oil that I suspect used to reside inside the gearbox.
Keep on top of your motorhome's maintenance!
€The lack of routine maintenance on some older 'vans is often quite startling.
Another recent elderly visitor to the workshop had coolant the like of which I have never before seen in 39 years of motor-trade life.
€This happened to be a 27-year-old Talbot that was in for a service. When I checked the antifreeze strength, it turned out that there was none – as in, no antifreeze at all!
By my reckoning the coolant must have been about 70 per cent rust and silt. It was so bad that it required four flushes to get clear water running through the system.
Sadly the brake fluid wasn't much better, with an indicated 10% moisture content, so that got flushed and replaced, too.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means that it draws water out of the air. Because the water is heavier than the brake fluid, it gradually falls to the lowest parts of the system – the wheel cylinders – which also happen to be the hottest parts.
Under prolonged braking, temperatures well in excess of the boiling point of water can be generated, causing the water content to boil and turn to steam.
€This steam is easily compressible, and causes a very spongy pedal. To help avoid water in the brake fluid, you should have the latter replaced every two to three years.

Q: Error: parsing d="MNaN,260L on D3.js multiline graph with JSON data I'm trying to show at least one line of a graph with this, hopefully to be adding a second later. I just can't get anything to show up though, when this hits the line return line(d.values); I get Error: parsing d="MNaN,260L... for a bunch of lines. I started out with this example, my data structure is identical to the one in that example, and I kept all the variable names and when I console.log(cities), my structure is the same. Ideas?
cities var looks like :
[
    {name:"count", values: [{date:1, temperature: 10}, {date:1, temperature: 10}]}
]

JS code looks like:
var margin = {top: 20, right: 0, bottom: 20, left: 20},
                    width = 600 - margin.left - margin.right,
                    height = 300 - margin.top - margin.bottom;

                var parseDate = d3.time.format("%Y%m%d").parse;

                var x = d3.time.scale()
                    .range([0, width]);

                var y = d3.scale.linear()
                    .range([height, 0]);

                var color = d3.scale.category10();

                var xAxis = d3.svg.axis()
                    .scale(x)
                    .orient("bottom");

                var yAxis = d3.svg.axis()
                    .scale(y)
                    .orient("left");

                var line = d3.svg.line()
                    .interpolate("basis")
                    .x(function(d) {
                        console.log(d)
                        return x(d.date);
                    })
                    .y(function(d) {
                        return y(d.temperature);
                    });

                var svg = d3.select(".heartbeat").append("svg")
                    .attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
                    .attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
                  .append("g")
                    .attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");

                d3.json("/static/data/test.json", function(error, data) {
                  color.domain(["one"]);

                    function get_vs(){
                        a = []
                        $.each(data, function(k, v){
                            if(v.hasOwnProperty("CN")){
                                a.push({"date": new Date(), "temperature": v.CN.count})
                            }else{
                                a.push({"date": new Date(), "temperature": 0})
                            }
                        })
                        return a
                    }

                    var cities = [
                        {
                            name: "count",
                            values: get_vs()
                        }
                    ]

                  x.domain(d3.extent(data, function(d) { return d.date; }));

                  y.domain([
                    d3.min(cities, function(c) { return d3.min(c.values, function(v) { return v.temperature; }); }),
                    d3.max(cities, function(c) { return d3.max(c.values, function(v) { return v.temperature; }); })
                  ]);

                  svg.append("g")
                      .attr("class", "x axis")
                      .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
                      .call(xAxis);

                  svg.append("g")
                      .attr("class", "y axis")
                      .call(yAxis)

                  var city = svg.selectAll(".city")
                      .data(cities)
                    .enter().append("g")
                      .attr("class", "city");

                  city.append("path")
                      .attr("class", "line")
                      .attr("d", function(d) {
                        return line(d.values);
                        })
                      .style("stroke", function(d) { return color(d.name); });
                });

A: The data just needed a bit of adapting - the original code was expecting an array of objects.
data = []
d3.json("/static/data/test.json", function(error, json_data) {
    $.each(json_data, function(k, v){
        a = {count: count, avg: avg, date: date}
        data.push(a)
    })
 })

Scott Catanzarite: Doing Good in His Community
Scott Catanzarite has been a Branch Manager at Metropolitan Title Company for the past 5 years. When he's not delighting Hoosiers with the best home-buying process in the state, Scott has a passion for helping people in need. This week, Scott is taking part in South Bend's Center for the Homeless' Lipsync with Our Stars event at the Hilton Gardon Inn in South Bend.
"Originally, I was nominated to do Dancing with Our Stars, but I wasn't able to fully commit to it and I didn't want to mail it in and not contribute to the essence of what's going on: bringing awareness and raising money for the Center for the Homeless," Scott said, "Lipsync with Our Stars was really more my speed."
Scott explains how he visited the Center for the Homeless and finding himself deeply affected by what he experienced: "I saw the school bus pull up, the doors open, and there's 9 or 10 students. And that's when it hit me. Here's this group of kids, and they're coming into the Center for the Homeless, which, for whatever their families' reasons were, that's where they were staying. I thought the kids may be a little down or a little embarrassed walking into the Center for the Homeless after school. But to see these kids get off the school bus like any other kid: they had that light in their eyes, they were laughing and joking, and having a good time. As a parent, that hit me."
Scott was truly impressed with how thorough the Center had thought through every aspect of life to make living there feel as inviting and as comfortable as possible. He elaborated:
"They have a place for people who are saving money trying to transition out of the Center; they have units for families; they have a library and hang-out places for the kids. It blew me away: they have a Learning Center for the kids who aren't in school yet, a Veterans' Center, they even have Adult Learning programs where they teach people how to write resumes. They have donated suits available so people have a nice suit to wear to an interview and they get someone to come in and practice interviewing. You're giving people the opportunity to try and better themselves while giving them a safe place to come back to every night. They do so many great things at the Center; I just want to do something good to help."
The Center for the Homeless' Lipsync with Our Stars kicks off at 6:00 PM on Friday November 8th at the Hilton Garden Inn. Be sure to vote for Scott and help him support the Center for the Homeless.
Scott concluded, "By all accounts, it's going to be a really great time and a lot of fun, so we're hoping to raise a lot of money."
