Miss Melinda Fancies a BBQ: Simplicity 1873

Hello, my loves! Sam and I have made it back home, after our meandering road trip out to Georgia. We had an absolute blast visiting with family, eating delicious food, and unplugging from the world. I didn't realize how internet-dependent my morning routine was, until we were without connectivity for a week. The number of times I checked Instagram, only to belatedly realize my phone had no service, was truly embarrassing! Almost as embarrassing as the discovery that I'm allergic to pastoral charm.

Apparently, living my whole life in a city means that one sniff of hay and one pat of a horse can set my whole system reeling. I spent much of Saturday in a Benadryl-induced coma, after said discovery. The sneezes, they just wouldn't stop! Thankfully, I was still able to finish my Mood project for this month: a striped summer party dress.

I ordered this fabric, an ecru and red cotton by Marc Jacobs, a few months ago from Mood. It was a total impulse purchase, bought for no other reason than I was struck dumb with love for these wide, scarlet stripes. They would make the perfect summer dress! Once the weather heats up, I start yearning for that classic Americana palette of red, white, and blue. (As similarly indicated by my last post.) It's a color scheme that hearkens back to summers spent on sailboats, eating apple pie and soaking up the blazing sun under a glamorous, floppy hat.

I haven't actually experienced a summer like that, of course. If I tried eating pie on a sailboat, I'd probably slip on an errant baked apple and fall right overboard, floppy hat and all. The yearning for an elegant, traditionally "summer" outfit remains, however. Damn Ralph Lauren and all his aspirational, Ivy League designs!

So, yeah, I wanted a striped dress. I wanted it desperately.

Luckily, this fabric ended up being perfect for such a project. It's a lovely crisp cotton, almost a poplin in weight and drape, which lent itself really well to the dress I had in mind. I wanted something classic in silhouette, but comfortably swishy and unlined. Though I fully understand all the benefits of lining a garment, I just can't do it for these mid-summer dresses. When the temperatures soar above 90 degrees, I want as few layers as possible! It may be dressmaking sacrilege, but such a sin rests east on my conscience.

As for the dress itself, this pattern should look familiar to you. It's another iteration of Simplicity 1873, that queen among fit-and-flare patterns. I've made it a half-dozen times already and have absolutely zero plans to stop now. Tried-and-true for the win!

For this version of 1873, I opted for the high, rounded neck bodice of View A. It's the same bodice I used in my final Project Sewn dress and I absolutely adore wearing that dress. Busty women are told so often that we can't pull off high necklines, but they don't bother me in the least. Society doesn't need to peek at my bubbies all the time and I'm tall enough that it doesn't throw off my torso proportions any, as is the worry implied in that advice.

Note: Though, even if it did, I come down on the side of not giving a shite. Plus-sized fashion rules do nothing but harsh my sewing buzz. The word "flattering" makes my feminist nature go all wild-eyed and stabby. It intimates that women are nothing but a bucket of flaws to be hidden and camouflaged, so that we can achieve that vaunted status as pretty, decorative object. "Oh dear, this woman has a poochy stomach and extravagant breasts!  Best hide those with fabric magic or turn her toward the wall!" Such claptrap!

Back to the matter at hand, though. This dress! This lovely, stripey confection of a dress!

Instead of attempting to stripe match the bias-cut panels of 1873's usual skirt, I subbed it out for a pleated dirndl. Once again, I concentrated the pleats toward the side seams of the dress. This was both an attempt to give the skirt more swish and leave some of the stripes unbroken down the front of the dress. I spent so much time stripe matching, as I cut out this baby, that it seemed silly to break all the stripes up with pleating! So, I left the center four unbroken, then pleated like a madwoman. The resulting skirt has two box pleats on each front side and two box pleats on each back side, each folded along a stripe edge.

The whole dress is finished with French seams and self-fabric bias tape. I absolutely adore an exposed bias-tape finish, especially with striped fabric, so that's what I went for at the neckline and armscyes. The resulting barber-pole diagonals are such a cute pop of interest, don't you think? Even if I had lined the dress, I would have been tempted to add that finish. I love it!

So, there we have it: a simple striped dress for those muggy, summer nights. It was the perfect outfit to wear for Uncle Bill's 60th birthday party! Cool, but resiliently crips against the heat. I am going to get so much wear out of this piece, as I do all my unlined cotton dresses. There is no better Texas summer staple, I promise you. Though, this one does have the added advantage of filling that sailboat attire gap in my wardrobe.

The details...

Things I Loved:
  • The fabric! These stripes just make me so darn happy. It's all too tempting to buy the balsam colorway, as well.
  • The silhouette! Simplicity 1873 is ever a winner for me.
  • The bias tape finish!

Things I Changed:
  • 2 inch FBA on the bodice, done many, many moons ago.
  • Subbed out the skirt for a pleated dirndl.
  • Omitted the lining, in favor of a simpler finish.
  • French-seamed everything possible.
  • Used a traditional zipper, instead of my nemesis, the invisible zip.

...exploring how people shape the world's forests

Members of the IFRI research network have backgrounds in many disciplines, and are interested in asking a variety of questions about the governance of community forests. However, much of the core work within IFRI focuses on one or more of four key natural resource themes: biodiversity, livelihoods, institutions and forest carbon.

Tropical forests are the most diverse habitat on the planet. Human activities within forests often alter biodiversity either directly (e.g. by hunting, or by collecting forest products for use or for sale) or indirectly (e.g. by fragmentation, or by over-harvesting keystone species). The interaction between communities and the forests that they access are key in determining the extent to which biodiversity is maintained.

More than 1.2 billion people (about 20% of the world’s population) directly depend on forests for either subsistence or income. People collect food, medicine, and materials for construction from forests. People living near to or within forest areas are frequently among the world’s poorest, and access to these resources effectively subsidizes their livelihoods, provides a source of income, and acts as a safety net following environmental or economic shocks. Resource depletion as a consequence of over-harvesting, forest degradation or forest cover depletion poses a direct threat to these provisioning services.

Defined as the formal and informal mechanisms that shape social and individual expectations, interactions, and behavior, institutions are integral to the sustainable management of common pool natural resources. Community forests are often associated with specific user-groups that are independent of formal state government and which often govern forests with greater success. Local communities often have vested interests in long-term sustainability, and so specifically-designed rules that are informed by local knowledge and enforced by these user-groups often results in successful management in decentralized governance contexts.

Forest Carbon

When IFRI was founded in 1992, the study of forest carbon was a fringe discipline. Today, it is at the forefront of the climate change discourse. Forests are stores of carbon, locked within above- and below-ground biomass; they can also be huge sources of atmospheric carbon emissions when cleared or burned; and they act as carbon sinks when left standing and intact. The emergence of REDD+ and other strategies to maintain forest cover have therefore become a key component of climate change mitigation.

The Sims 3 World Adventures

Edit Page    Last Edit:

Sims have needed some excitement in their lives for quite awhile. Oh sure, there’s the occasional house fire and routine burglar, but come on, we’ve had that since the very first day of the very first game! Every Sim needs a bit of an adventure in their little virtual life, and with The Sims 3: World Adventures, they get just that across a few foreign countries.

Such risky adventures, trekking into the unknown fog of some long-forgotten tomb, brings their own perils. Mummy attacks, fire traps, and raging scarab beetles hiding in treasure chests can all befall your Sims. But, there are treasures to be had, nectar to drink, photos to snap, and martial arts masters to punch all across the globe. Your Sim wants to do it all.

Not only will this IGN Entertainment strategy guide help you achieve your international goals, but if you as the player want to step into the realm of dungeon master, we can help with that too. Whether you want to build a simple one-story tomb with the basics of traps, or behemoth nine-story arenas of doom (which is now possible thanks to the addition of a true basement tool), we will show you how to create a deathtrap that would make James Bond villains proud.

Johnson just in time

Switzerland falls short but shows signs of life

Minsk Arena Minsk  Belarus

USA's Tim Stapleton (#19) and Switzerland's Luca Cunti (#12) chase down a loose puck in front of Reto Berra. Phot: Andre Ringuette / HHOF-IIHF Images

Two third period goals and two late offside calls keep the Americans unbeaten in the 2014 World Championship.

Team USA prevailed 3-2 over a determined Swiss team. Tyler Johnson's third period tally from a Seth Jones pass gave the Americans the win.

The Swiss were disappointed with two close offside calls that went against them in the third when they thought they'd scored on each occasion.

In the first period, the Americans were able to point shots on net but not get a goal. Switzerland, too, had their share of chances. The line of Kevin Romy, Damien Brunner and Simon Moser was ignited in the period getting four of the 11 Swiss shots.

The Americans had a brief flurry near the end of the first period when they had a two-on-one. Unlike their match against Belarus where they took a 1-0 lead into the second period, the Americans would remain in a scoreless tie after one.

"It was a back-to-back today and that's tough," said Tim Thomas. "We have to find the energy from somewhere. Most players from the NHL are used to getting a bit of time off, but we've come out here, dealt with the time change and there's not been much time to practice. Playing like this is rough, at least I know it's rough on me, so it's great to come up with two wins."

Switzerland would get on the scoreboard first when Denis Hollenstein took a clean pass from Kevin Fiala and skated down his wing and went far side on Tim Thomas, who was making his second start.

Hollenstein was an impact player for Switzerland last year in their World Championship run when he notched four goals and four points. For Fiala it was his first point in World Championship play. Fiala has earned the distinction of playing in the U18, U20 and now senior men’s World Championships, all in the same year.

When Peter Mueller was whistled for tripping, Switzerland threatened to open up their lead but the Americans not only killed off the penalty but created opportunity as Mueller's sin bin time ended.

Tim Stapleton saw Mueller exit the box and fed him a pass that sent him off to the races. Mueller beat Berra through the pads with 13:45 left in the period.

Switzerland broke the tie when Damien Brunner scored. Kevin Romy’s soft backhand pass slid underneath Thomas’s glove in front where Brunner, who had Danny DeKeyser covering him, tapped it in.

The Swiss were driving more to the net in the period and featured their best chances yet. Indeed, they were playing with more confidence than they did against Russia.

A Swiss penalty on Robin Grossmann with 7.6 seconds meant the Americans would start the critical third period on the power play. With 24 seconds remaining on the Grossman penalty in the third frame, Craig Smith scored to make it 2-2.

Tyler Johnson’s pass to Brock Nelson tipped on goal. The puck found its way on Smith’s stick in front for the put away.

"Our line's playing well, and the PP is getting points which is always important in a tournament like this. It great to get that chemistry together," said Johnson.

Both teams had near misses in the third. Drew Shore hit the crossbar and Switzerland thought it retook the lead midway through the period when Thomas Rufenacht. Rufenacht took a long pass close to the American blue line and appeared to score on Thomas but it was waived off as he was ruled offside.

The call upset the Swiss bench and their many supporters in attendance.

Team USA regained momentum and the lead when Seth Jones took the puck deep to the right of the Swiss net, spun around and sent a pass to Tyler Johnson who was covering the point. Johnson fired off a shot that beat Berra at 13:15 of the period.

Switzerland answered back quickly with Simon Moser thinking he scored off a rebound of a Damien Brunner shot but they were once again ruled offside.

"They looked offside and the officials called it," offered USA's Johnson. "The linesmen only have a split second to make decisions. I don't know if it was right or wrong, but they have a tough job to do."

kept pressing, getting opportunities by Eric Blum and Roman Josi in the last two minutes of the game. A save a 5.9 seconds remaining on a Josi shot from the point was the last big save of the game.

Quarrelling is taboo

This is The Boy's Club building in Stirling."Quarrelling is taboo" is such a good motto.

Play the game

The building was remodelled in 1929 as a base for boys' associations like the Scouts and the Boys Brigade. It has these great inscriptions above the door and windows.

Keep smiling

Designed by Eric Bell, it's at 39 John Street, close to the Old Town Jail and just down the hill from the castle.

There's a lot of buzz about the new Cadbury's Trucks advert. I'm afraid I don't like it. To be truthful I didn't really like the drumming gorilla one either. The gorilla itself is fine but this thing of having a random idea, sticking a product on the end and calling that advertising is a bit lazy if you ask me. It won loads of awards though, so maybe there's something about my pedantic, logical brain that's just not getting it. Before I get too churlish, it's funny that youtube highlights another advert about chocolate and trucks which gets straight to the point. Get your laughing gear round this.

This is the loveliest (and the smartest) thing I've seen in a long time. Not saying what it is or it will give the game away. Fab (via 30gms).

Since getting Sky+ I usually fast forward through the adverts, but I had to rewind this one. A team of crack home economists build a new Skoda Fabia out of cake. It's fantastic. Admirable in the amount of planning and effort that it involved (the 'Baking of...' documentary shows it took a lot of work) but also for the sheer idiot glee of the concept. It illustrates Sacrum's concept of Brand Warmness. It doesn't tell you much about the car but it makes Skoda seem like nice people. This seems like a positive step for companies and consumers alike.

Review: Mr. Smith Jimi nano-case | iLounge

Review: Mr. Smith Jimi nano-case

Company: Mr. Smith

Model: Jimi nano-case

Price: $20

Compatible: iPod nano

Share This Article:
Jeremy Horwitz

Available in six colors, Mr. Smith's new Jimi nano-case (also called the Jimi iPod nano case) is proudly proclaimed to be made in the United States from recycled plastic, with 1% of sales invested in the environment. Its front faceplate pops off and is interchangeable - assuming you buy additional plates - and your nano can be inserted right side up or upside-down relative to the case's integrated rear belt clip. A mirror window on the rear lets you see part of the nano's back.

A couple of iLounge’s editors are big fans of Mr. Smith’s non-iPod products, but this one didn’t do quite as much for us. Protection remains a critical factor in iPod cases, and the Jimi nano-case does a relatively poor job of covering your nano - it shields the sides and parts of its front and back, but leaves holes elsewhere on the top, bottom, front and back, including both the nano’s scratch-sensitive screen and the aforementioned holes on its mirrored back. These are said to be there to let you use your iPod as a mirror, but that’s not a good “feature” in our view - it’s an omission, somewhat akin to touting the lack of screen protection as a way to guarantee unmitigated enjoyment of the iPod’s menus or photos. Worse yet, even though the case’s bottom hole is large, it’s shaped in a way that keeps oversized Dock Connectors and headphone plugs from connecting properly. Apple’s smaller parts thankfully work without a problem.

For the price, there are numerous other simple plastic cases out there for the nano, most of which are considerably more protective than this one. Unless you really like the colors and are willing to spend some extra cash to buy extra front plates, the Jimi-nano case is merely OK, a shame because we like the company and think its environmental angles on this case were worthwhile.

Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.

    Thank you for making shopping easy by selling so many wonderful toys to choose from!
    by: Andrew A.

    It's truly rare these days that a company not only stands behind its products, but also its customers. I have ordered a number of times from Imagine Toys, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Everyone I have dealt with, whether through email, chat box, or on the phone, has been so pleasant and accommodating. It truly means a lot. Many thanks,

Agfa Service Revamped
Agfa Consumer Imaging recently restructured and renamed its equipment service organization in an effort to enhance customer satisfaction and more efficiently provide equipment service. "Agfa Customer Support Operations is more than just a name change," said Chris O'Meara, director of Operations. "It's a commitment from our entire organization that we will exceed customer expectations for service support."
Agfa Customer Support Operations will now be divided into four regions instead of the previous three serving the U.S. The new regional lineup will include West, Central, NorthEast and the new South Region. Other improvements include: providing emergency, on-site service during weekends; revised pricing for spare parts; improved training; and revisions to Agfa's customer service contract options including incentives added to many of them. A new software-driven call management system was installed, which will avoid on-line delays by quickly and efficiently routing calls to the appropriate technical specialist, and a new website dedicated to Agfa Customer Support Operations information and services was created at

Ulead Systems, Inc. has entered into the enterprise server market with two new imaging software solutions. These two new products include: iMira Album, a server-based online photo sharing application and iMira Editing, a server-based online image editing and conversion application. Both provide online imaging services without the need to partner with third party suppliers.
"Traditionally companies are forced to build prohibitive and complex imaging systems or pay ongoing fees for this service to an Application Service Provider," said Danielle Liao, president of Ulead Systems, Inc. "iMira Album and iMira Editing give organizations a cost-effective, yet powerful alternative that can work alone or with a company's existing imaging system. Best of all, an organization owns the iMira Server software, giving them direct control over system data, storage and processing fees."
iMira Album and iMira Editing are now available. For more, visit the websites, or

Jem'Hadar Boy

For 3 bars of latinum, Quark buys the rights to salvage a stranded ship from the Gamma Quadrant. Apart from a crying baby, he doesn't find anything of value. Bashir notices the boy has a very fast metabolic rate, and is growing at an accelerated rate. Before the crew knows it, he's a teen, who starts fighting on the promenade. Only Odo's able to calm him down, and Jadzia realises he's Jem'Hadar. When Odo hears the boy's to be examined in a Federation laboratory, he convinces Sisko he should take charge of the young man. Odo wants to try to change his nature, so he could live on Deep Space Nine as a normal humanoid. Meanwhile, Sisko invites Jake's girlfriend, Mardah for dinner. She's 4 years older than Jake, and a Dabo girl at Quark's. Sisko's very opposed to their relationship. Written by Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)

Wow...the Jem'Hadar really are warlike jerks down deep!
20 December 2014 | by (Bradenton, Florida) – See all my reviews

Jake is dating a 20 year-old Dabo girl with extremely large...well, you can guess. Naturally, his father is not thrilled by this but instead of telling Jake no, he invites the lady for dinner.

The main plot, however, is a lot less mundane and creepy. A baby is discovered among the wreckage of a ship that Quark has bought. The child grows VERY quickly...and soon he grows into a Jem'Hadar killing machine. Not surprisingly, the crew isn't thrilled but Odo decides to take the young killing machine under his wing. But try as he might to learn about the deeper person buried within, this Jem'Hadar seems even more one dimensional than Nancy Grace. With this unnamed Jem'Hadar, it's kill, kill, kill. In fact, he makes the Klingons seem like deep thinkers and pacifists! What's next?

While the episode is mildly interesting, there's really not much more to it than this.

Did You Know?

Many of the firearms in True Grit are replicas from the Italian gun maker Aldo Uberti Company. Using replicas is a common practice in movies. The original manufacturers' pistols, rifles, and shotguns in True Grit are antiques that are over a century old and do not have the availability required by movie property managers. Replicas are exact copies that look newer (not worn and antique) and thus match the appropriate time frame presented in the movie. See more »

Get the comparisons out of the way, then give the film its due.
26 December 2010 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Let's get the comparisons with Henry Hathaway's version of the Charles Portis novel out of the way. The Coen Brothers certainly knew that, however much they want to 'go back to the source material,' their film would play against Hathaway's version.

The Hathaway version, while tampering with details from the Portis original, remains strikingly true to its story and theme. This is most clear in the dialog - the decision not to tamper with Portis' language was decisive for the making of that film. The Coens' tampering with the novel is more subtle than Hathaway's film, but no less an interpretation.

Approaching the characters and composition of the Coens' version without reference to the Hathaway film apparently proved impossible. For instance, the shoot-out at the dug-out cabin was re-written for a night-scene, but the camera angles remain pretty much the high-elevation shots Lucien Ballard provided Hathaway, inter-cut with full body shots of people getting wounded and horses running (etc.)also similar to Ballard's.

Two performance stand out as striking examples of reference to the original film. Dakin Matthews seems to struggle mightily not to recreate Strother Martin's interpretation of the horse-trader Stonehill

  • and fails. Apparently Martin had the character down pat and there's

nothing but to reproduce his interpretation. Far more to the point is Barry Pepper's interpretation of the desperate outlaw chief, Ned Pepper
  • it is pure Robert Duvall. Pepper can only match Duvall's self-aware

determination - and he does - but he can't surpass it; nor can he find another interpretation to set off against Duvall's.

As for the Coens' own re-interpretation of the Portis novel, what was most noticeable to me were the minor points simply dropped out of the story telling. The most irritating to me were a pair of lapses that are interconnected and combine to make an important point about the characters. 1. We never get to see Mattie tell Rooster that Chaney has linked up with Ned Pepper (later Rooster does remark the fact, but how did he learn of it?); 2 We don't get to hear Rooster's remarking how he shot Pepper through the upper lip (because he was aiming at the lower lip). These two incidents combine to let the audience know that Cogburn's hidden agenda on the Chaney hunt is really Ned Pepper, he and Pepper have something of a feud going on - which information fills out the background detail for their final shoot-out. Except here we don't have that connection.

Finally, the whole Mattie - Rooster issue: many critics are saying that Mattie is more at the center here than in the Hathaway picture, which focused attention on John Wayne's Cogburn. Not true. When we add up screen time and lines of dialog, we discover that Mattie not only has as much time and dialog in the Hathaway film but it is in much the same proportion to Cogburn's as in this one. If most remember the Hathaway film as a 'John Wayne film,' that is due simply to Wayne's bravura performance.

Well, enough of the comparisons. Does the Coens' version measure up as film worth seeing on its own accord? Yes; we are presented here with a beautiful, frightening, amusing piece of 'Americana.' There are scenes approaching dream-like states, as in the meeting with the bear-man, and during Rooster's desperate drive to get Mattie to a doctor. Hailee Steinfeld is quite engaging, and Matt Damon develops an intriguing complexity that makes one wish he had more screen-time. Bridges' performance is the most problematic - Bridges plays Cogburn as a a kind of whimsical brute - as he rambles on with his life-story on the trail, we get the gnawing sense that, if we were not along for a dangerous manhunt and dependent on his abilities as a master man-hunter, Cogburn would be someone we would not like to know. This develops a distance between the audience and Cogburn that is actually rather on par for the Coens - there are no 'heros' in the Coen universe.

Perhaps that's a good thing here. Mattie in her experiences with the wild men of the old west has encountered something larger than her life on the farm could ever get her. These are men who make their own laws and are not bound to statutory codes or biblical decrees, and adapt their own law to the wilds of the frontier that surrounds them. Mattie is a confirmed church-goer with a good lawyer, and if she weren't so determined on her revenge, she would actually be impossibly small-minded and dull. This is a subtext to the novel that both films attempt to convey, but neither quite captures, because it's difficult for any film maker to admit that the central character of the story is the least interesting.

The age of such wild-men has passed. It is not that wild-men do not exist - wild-men show up quite frequently in Coen Brothers' films in contemporary settings - but now they are corrupted by moving outside the law and outside the commonplace, they grow sick and psychopathic. The killer in "Fargo" feeding the partner he's killed to a wood-chipper is as wild as one could get, but he is no longer larger than life, and evokes only the sickness at the heart of modernity, not any adaptation one would want to live with.

We look back at historical moments like those of the Old West because anything seemed possible to them, whereas very little is possible for us. But that might simply be a wishful delusion - and the Coens' clear suspicion that it is really determines the limits of what they accomplish here. They don't present the West as 'it really was,' nor do they present what we want from it, rather they present a disappointment with it. Rooster Cogburn is indeed 'larger than life,' but we wouldn't want to spend any more time with him than we do.

Report – Yet to be launched Lamborghini “Centenario” already sold out image

The Lamborghini model that will come out to celebrate the company’s 100-year anniversary – hence the Centenario moniker – is not even official yet but it appears the $2.38 million price tag was a trifle for the collectors.

That’s because the officially unrevealed model has been reportedly booked out – though we do grant a limited run edition has a tendency to reach sold out status quite fast. The model reportedly called “Centenario” (centenary) will be presented soon to the eager audience and has been developed by the Italian brand to pay a tribute to company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini – as this year there will be 100 years since his birth on April 28, 1916 (he died back in 1993). The special series model could also be treated to the usual numerical moniker – the “LP770-4” suffix being tossed around by the rumor mill – hinting towards a 770 PS (759 hp) power level and an all-wheel drive system.

News gathered from different sources has lately confirmed the model would not be riding on the Huracan’s architecture but rather employ the same platform as the Aventador big brother. And production could be capped to 40 units – 20 coupe and 20 roadster – with a price tag of $2.38 million, most likely for the fixed top version. While the roadster is expected to cost even more, it appears that all vehicles have already found their owners. The model is expected to debut during the Geneva Motor Show in March and could even have its first deliveries in April to follow the exact timeframe of Ferucio’s birth 100 years ago.

The Libertines, Forum, London

They're a shambles. But what a shambles!
Click to follow

Pantomime season is upon us, and rock'n'roll's most compelling Punch and Judy show is in town. If the crowd packed into the Forum tonight aren't screaming "He's behind you! (And in front of you! And crashing into you sideways!)" at Carl Barat, they ought to be.

It's been one long soap opera of a year for The Libertines, and the villain of the piece - albeit a vulnerable, damaged, sympathetic villain - is Pete Doherty. A self-confessed smack and crack addict, he was thrown out of the band in May after failing to show up for a European tour. In July he broke into Barat's flat while the band were away in Japan, stealing various items of musical equipment. Meanwhile, Doherty appeared to have formed his own band, Babyshambles, played a solo show in his own living room, and even threatened to form his own rival Libertines. In August, the band played the Reading Festival without him (and it felt wrong, so wrong). In September, Doherty was convicted of burgling Barat, and jailed for a month. (Barat himself didn't have the best of years, smashing his face into a bathroom sink in a drunken accident, almost losing his sight and necessitating reconstructive surgery.) All the while, accusations and mudslinging flew in both directions, making a reunion seem even less likely than if one of the two had actually died. But on 8 October, the day Doherty was released from prison, the pair shocked everyone by reuniting for a secret gig. Four more low-key shows followed, leading up to this three-night residency in Kentish Town, their full return to the public eye.

And if we're honest, it's precisely this kind of volatile love-hate frisson that everyone's here for, voyeurs that we are.

Doherty and Barat are a latterday Mick'n'Keef, Thunders'n'Johansen, or Sid'n'Johnny, and tonight, from the off, they're sharing a microphone, screaming into each other's faces, bumping noses, so close they're almost snogging. Between verses, one minute they're hugging, the next they're running at each other like rutting stags. To what extent this is exaggerated for our benefit remains moot, but it's an incredibly watchable spectacle.

Last time I saw Pete, only a few days ago at the last-ever Suede gig, he was wearing a plaid scarf and half-mast trousers, and carrying a miniature Christmas tree (my girlfriend thought he looked like a Dickensian urchin, having to flog trees to the rich folks to keep himself out of the poorhouse in the bleak midwinter). He appeared a little bewildered, so I never asked him why he was carrying it.

Tonight he looks similarly fragile. He never stops moving, but never looks in control, as unsteady as Bambi on ice. When someone gives him a pink tennis ball, he Jonny Wilkinsons it onto the balcony, but almost lands on his arse in the process. His movements are so erratic that he accidentally smacks a guitar tech in the teeth. His moods are so erratic that when his strap breaks, he hurls his guitar into the crowd rather than attach a new one, and when someone tosses him an apple, he takes a bite then slams it into the floor. As Carl leads a small child on stage mid-show (introduced as "Young George"), it occurs to me that there's already one there.

Young George isn't the only unusual guest. To add to the pantomime feel, the support act were, somewhat incongruously, Chas'n'Dave (Doherty joined them on stage for a song), and four songs into the Libs' own set, they're joined by a short, elderly, bearded man who looks like Saddam when he emerged from the trap door. He begins singing "Sally Brown", an Irish drinking song, in a manner not dissimilar to the tramp in A Clockwork Orange who gets his head kicked in (ominously, the Libertines' first song tonight was called "Horrorshow"). This man is The Rabbi, a friend of The Libertines depicted on one of their CD sleeves, who works at The Duke Of Clarence (and, rumour has it, played drums on all the Joe Meek productions back in the Sixties).

Amid all this lunacy, it's easy to overlook the actual music. This is a band who are adored, by those who adore them, in a way which bewilders outsiders. The Libertines make an unreconstructed new wave noise which is enjoyable enough, a blend of early Jam, Smiths and Clash (Mick Jones produced their first album, and is present tonight). It's managed chaos (bassist John and drummer Gary keep it as tight as a gnat's chuff so that the two mentalists up front can go off the rails), and it relies on velocity for impact: when they play a slow song, everyone goes to the bog.

They're defiantly British (they invoke the spirit of Queen Bodicea, and begin songs with couplets like "There are fewer more distressing sights than that/ Of an Englishman in a baseball cap"), and evoke a specifically English form of gritty urban romanticism (the influences listed above, plus The Kinks).

But it's the interplay between Laurel and Hardy up there which carries them through. At the show's climax - the comeback single "Don't Look Back Into The Sun" ("Oh my friend you haven't changed/ Looking rough and living strange") - they're doing that screaming/snogging thing again, howling the line, "I shall never forgive you!", before leaping headlong into the throng.

The Libertines are a shambles. But they're a fast, exciting shambles. This one will run and run.

Barclays renew libel claim

Click to follow
The millionaire press baron twins David and Frederick Barclay are making another attempt to sue the BBC Director-General John Birt in France for libel.

In July last year, a court in St Malo dismissed the brothers' claim for damages following a broadcast on BBC Radio Guernsey in October 1995 in which the Barclays claim they were falsely accused of corruption. Last summer, the court threw out their case - in which they claimed pounds 108,000 damages - on the grounds that it was "unacceptable". The date fixed for the appeal decision is 24 January.

The Boat Race: Ill wind on a tide of hope

Flip of a coin could decide fate of multi-national crews as troubled waters threaten mayhem
Click to follow

It looks as if the wind is determined to ruffle the surface as much as the crews in the 152nd Boat Race today. The forecast is a strong south-westerly to westerly which will make mayhem of much of the four-and-a-quarter miles from Putney to Mortlake; it is going to be a rough ride, during which the experience on board the Cambridge boat could be the trump card.

Five of the Cambridge oarsmen and cox Peter Rudge have competed in the race before. Kip McDaniel, the Canadian stroke, is a first-timer, but he is a steely competitor who has an accomplished machine behind him. Tom James and Kieran West are British internationals, West an Olympic gold medallist from Sydney 2000 who is returning for his third Boat Race. To the east of West, so to speak, is "The Berlin Wall", consisting of the "angry hampster" Sebastian Schulte, so called because he sucks his upper lip when annoyed, Thorsten Englemann and Sebastian Thormann.

Behind Thormann sits the president, the Australian Tom Edwards, and in the bow is Luke Walton from the United States. They are a precision outfit under the eye of Duncan Holland, who is from New Zealand and in his first year as chief coach. Holland is direct and refreshing, contributing to a good-humoured group where leadership qualities abound as much as jokes, academic achievement and rowing ability.

McDaniel's opposite number is Bastien Ripoll, Oxford's first Frenchman. The man from Toulouse has some way to go to emulate the career of Cambridge's first, Henri Waddington (1849 Boat Race), an archaeo-logist who became prime minister of France, briefly, in 1879. Ripoll, like all but two of Oxford's crew, is in the race for the first time, and he experienced a sobering defeat recently at the hands of the US national squad.

Behind Ripoll are two Canadian Olympic medallists, Jake Wetzel and the president, Barney Williams. In the five seat is Jamie Schroeder, a 6ft 7in American who at 15st 11lb is the heaviest Dark Blue. "There are two Cambridge guys who weigh more than me, but I still pull harder," he says.

Next is Paul Daniels, an American world champion from Wisconsin University. His coach and mentor there was Chris Clark, around whom the Oxford mutiny of 1987 revolved. Clark, who won his Blue in 1986, inspired Daniels to come to Oxford. Last year he won gold with the American eight, and his only concession to ritual is to wear the socks he wore in the world championships. In the bow is a former junior international, Robin Ejsmond-Frey, and at two and three Colin Smith and Tom Parker.

Smith stroked Oxford two years ago and Williams was in last year's heaviest crew of all time. His son Tavin, born on 14 January, carries a middle name of Hammersmith in honour of dad's win. Williams is an engaging law student who, in the space of six months, lost an Olympic gold by a fraction of a second to Sir Matt Pinsent and Co in Athens and won a Boat Race. He is aware that his boat is coming from behind, but it is not far behind.

During the past week, both Holland and Oxford's Sean Bowden, now in his ninth Boat Race with the Dark Blues (four wins, four losses), have concentrated on the first stroke. Starting from a stakeboat on a strong tide is tricky, and in Holland's words, it is the most important stroke of the race. Fluffing that first stroke can cost half a length, and delays settling into the rhythm to carry you towards Hammersmith and, maybe, clear water.

If the wind blows today, Edwards and Williams may wish to lose the toss to avoid deciding whether to choose optimum tide on the outside of the first bend or shelter on the inside of it. Either could be hell. The toss winner must take a punt anyway, because the coin flips an hour and a half before the tide is in and the wind reveals its hand. It will be a great advantage to reach Hammersmith Bridge - a third of the way - first. But the fitness and feistiness of both crews can keep it close for much further than that.
