SHOW REVIEW: The Pixies
McDonald Theater - April 27, 2004 (Portland, Oregon)
By: Brad Halverson
"How can I? Because I don't have a bigger pile of money? That's a bad attitude when you make your living as a musician. Hey, you're in. You're in the club, you're on tour, you make records, you get to sing with David Bowie on his 50th birthday. What more do you want? An island?"- (Frank Black on complaining - The Washington Post)
There wasn't any real reason for the Pixies to reunite other than money. Dozens of legendary bands have done it before, and in some of the more depressing cases, live on indefinitely, becoming little more than jukeboxes that pump out their old hits to giddy audiences who are just overwhelmed by the fact that they get to see their old heroes alive and on stage. The cynicism only seems to creep in after the third or fourth reunion tour when Eddie Vedder is finally invited to guest on a few songs. This is not the context that anybody wanted, or expected to see the Pixies reunite in.
I'll be the first to admit that I was certainly one of the giddy fans when I attended the April 27th Pixies show at the MacDonald Theatre in Eugene. The room seemed divided between people like me, and cynical hipster types who seemed to be big fans of the band, but also expected them to fail. One of the first things I heard on the way our of the theatre was, a stringy, greasy looking kid muttering, "Well they were better than I thought they would be." Others were still freaked out and giddy, happy that they finally got to see their favorite band again, or for the first time like me. Personally I just didn't know what to say.
"People are always going to say, 'Yeah great record. Not quite as good as that old Doolittle record.' They're always going to say that. I'm not sure why. I'm just guessing ahead. It has to do with the bottom line. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my records now just aren't as good."-Frank Black
The impact of this band's music cannot be measured, because they were the first who did what they did, and they did it well enough that all their imitators never equaled or bettered them. It's an honor given to the Beatles, for reinventing what pop music can be, and to the Ramones for inventing everything good about punk music. You can see their influence everywhere today. While Nirvana was the most vocal champion of the Pixies' influence, we still hear stirrings of the Pixies from every band who has ever done the quiet/loud thing, and the sheer inventiveness of the songwriting changed the very idea of what a pop rock song could be. What do you think Radiohead would sound like if the Pixies never existed?
What was kind of sad about the show was that it took this long for the band to get their due. In fact, they still haven't entirely gotten their due. To this day, Frank Black's solo releases fail to make significant sales despite that his solo work has long surpassed the Pixies' output in both quantity and quality. Now that he's at the ripe old age of 39, Frank no longer seems to care about grabbing his audience on first listen like he did with songs like "Debaser" and "Gouge Away" but once his new work takes hold it never let's go. Albums like "Teenager of the Year" and "Black Letter Days" to name just a couple of my favorites, give you the same sense of "Holy crap, this stuff is genius" that the Pixies albums do. Only while Surfer Rosa sounded perfect on first listen, "Teenager of the Year" only reveals itself as one of the best rock albums ever (no hyperbole here) once it's all sunk in after a dozen listens and you realize that every song you thought was filler before suddenly seems perfect. If this tour accomplishes only one thing, I hope that even more people hear about this band, and in turn explore Frank's solo work (and the first couple Breeder's albums too of course). However, this band, despite being a decade or so older, and perhaps because of it, have managed to return at the top of their game.
"You want me to play a new song? 'Cause I could do one of those old Pixies songs...I'm okay with it now."- (Frank Black - Interview with Steve Lamacq on the BBC)
Once the sense of the impossibility left me after the first couple songs of the show, it couldn't be more evident that the band was back and amazingly sounded as good as they ever had. Even if the show lacked any big surprises, the fact that these guys were on stage together again, playing the hell out of some of the best rock songs ever written, and seemingly having a great time doing it, was more than any music fan could ask for. Joey Santiago demonstrated that he's still one of the most unique, and underrated guitarists anywhere. Throughout the show he only occasionally cracked a smile as he gently murdered his guitar, ever the professional. Even though he was too loud in the mix, he worked around it and seemed organically attached to these songs. "Vamos" is one of those sort of average Pixies songs that turn into something more within a great performance and Joey managed to make this so-so little song into one of the highlights of the evening. Though Santiago never seemed too impressed with himself, Frank occasionally shot him impressed smiles as if to say, "This guy is friggin awesome." In fact the camaraderie between Frank and Joey was one of the highlights of the show. Frank, much balder and larger than he ever was back when he went by Black Francis, performed most of the show with his eyes closed, loosening up only when he had a break from singing. On the less stoic side of things, drummer, David Lovering, and bassist, Kim Deal, just seemed happy to be there. Kim had a big grin on her face throughout the show; she seemed to be enjoying herself. Though, her performance wasn't as tight as the others' (she even forgot the words to "Gigantic" and had to ask Frank for help mid-song) but overall, the band sounded terrific.
The general consensus is that the band's last two albums, "Bossanova" and "Trompe Le Monde" aren't quite as good as their earlier stuff, and the band seems to agree. The set list was comprised almost completely of songs from "Come on Pilgrim", "Surfer Rosa" and "Doolittle". The mostly quiet and always beautiful "Bossanova" was represented only by "Velouria" and the noisy mass of complex genius, "Trompe Le Monde" was ignored completely. While it's true that neither of these albums have a full dose of that bizarre Pixies energy that drove their earlier work, the songs on these records are still unbelievably strong, and it was a shame to see them completely ignored. I for one would have loved to hear "Motorway to Roswell", "Dig For Fire" or "Alec Eiffel" performed but when you have a catalogue like the Pixies have, it's not like there's any real bad songs to choose from. They could have picked the setlist randomly and still had a great show to perform.
Aside from the complete lack of representation of their later work, there were few surprises during the show and two of them came at the end of the show. The first is the hilarious, rarely performed, "La La Love You" with Lovering singing lead. The second surprise was the performance of "In Heaven" sung by Kim instead of Frank. You could argue over which version of the song is better all you want, but the fact remains that this one sounded great. Plus, it lead into the second performance of "Wave of Mutilation" of the night, the second being the slower "UK Surf" version. It was beautiful in a way that only the Pixies could pull off.
"I like being the underdog. It?s better than sucking."- Frank Black
As the show closed with "Into The White" I knew I would hear several arguments about how great they were, or how disappointing it was, or why did they even bother, or how they're great and amazing and all that. However this tour has affected the band's legacy, I went home that night knowing that I had seen a great show from a great band. One of the greatest, in fact. If the fact that the band "sold out" tarnishes their great history in your mind, just remember that if any band deserved to sell out in the first place, it would be this one. They set the stage for a new age of rock music, then disintegrated before they could really stake their claim in it. As far as I'm concerned, this tour isn't solely about selling out. It's about getting a little bit of justice, spreading the word about a great chapter of rock history that many people haven't discovered yet, and most of all, it was about a band finally being able to take what's theirs. The word of mouth spread about this band from day one, but they're only now reaching the level of recognition they deserve. If it takes ten more years for Frank Black's solo work to be heard by the larger audience it deserves, and if it takes ten years for the Breeders to be recognized as more than "that band that did that "Cannonball" song, then maybe there's hope for good music to be recognized after all. But seriously, why wait?

Is this a new (2018) meteorite impact crater on Mars?
2018 Mars meteorite impact crater?
Is this a new meteorite crater on Mars? NASA image from 2018 appears to show a fresh Martian debris field from an explosive event of some kind.
The news is, at this moment, only being promoted by the UK's Daily Star, but due to time differences it may not have been reported in the USA science sites and magazines. I can not find anything about it when searching, not even on NASA's news media.
NASA said the splat is the result of a rock smashing into Mars' south pole. Images of the mark were sent back by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
"It's notable because it occurred in the seasonal southern ice cap, and has apparently punched through it, creating a two-toned blast pattern," NASA planetary scientist Ross Beyer said of the image released on Tuesday.
Mr Beyer said the larger, lighter-coloured blast area could be caused by winds scouring the surface from the impact shockwave, while the inner pattern is where the impact kicked up the dark sand from beneath the ice layer.
Are these craters formed by meteorites or are some of them the result of electrical energy discharges between the charged objects of planets and bits of fragmented asteroids or moons?
Are the different coloured blast areas, the result of electrical sorting and depositing?
Or is it just standard meteorites impacting on planets surfaces, forming craters and exploding the top part of surface material away from ground zero? Nothing mystical Electric Universe for its followers to get excited about. Boring normal asteroidal and cometary astronomy.
According to Juergens, Tycho's rays are the paths that electrons formed when the secondary discharge erupted into space, completing a circuit with a lighting leader stroke. It is probable, based on that analysis, that rays around craters are not ejected material that flew outward from an impact event, but are the mark of charged particles rushing inward toward the center, dragging fine dust along with them because of attractive forces.
Not Gale central peak crater?

35th Anniversary of the Cassette Walkman
It was 35 years ago that Sony unknowingly changed the way the world experienced music. Biggie Smalls used it to let his tape rock 'till his tape popped in the 80s, and more recently had Star Lord hooked on a feeling in Marvel's summer blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy." Although the Walkman wasn't the first of it's kind, a fourteen-ounce aluminum body and a hand-held design made it unique, and introduced society to music on the go.
Following a grand introduction in Japan in 1979, the Walkman TPS-L2 was released in 1980 to a different America from the one we know today. Colors were brighter, hair was bigger, and Pac Man was barely being introduced to the world. Because music had always remained within the bulky confines of a record player or a boombox, the Walkman's compact size and mobility made it a hot commodity with people young and old, thus creating a new musical subculture.
Easy Star Records founder & Producer Michael Goldwasser recalls, "I still remember finally getting a Sony Walkman one day as a gift after having had several bigger and clunkier knockoffs. I couldn't believe how small it seemed – not that much bigger than a cassette. Having a way to listen to music on the go was essential for a music freak like me, because I had an hour-and-a-half commute to and from school each day." Michael, like many people, found the Walkman to be a necessity for long commutes, trips to the gym, or for some invaluable "me" time.
By today's standards, it was no technological marvel, but the Walkman was incomparable to anything else during that time. With two AA batteries and their favorite cassette completely rewound, users were ready to take on the world with a Walkman clipped to their waist and those black, fuzzy earphones fitted snugly over their ears.
The Walkman had easily accessible control buttons alongside the device and two headphone jacks on top, in case users wanted to be social in their state of isolation. It even featured a "Hot Line" button, which simultaneously lowered the volume of the music while capturing outside noise with an external microphone, allowing users to hear the world around them without the burden of having to remove their headphones.
These features allowed people to completely immerse themselves in their music, especially 17th Street Recording Studio producer Lew Richards. "I just tuned out the world around me and would sink into the music," says Richards, who accredits the Walkman for helping inspire him to become a musician. "I listened to the Beatles tapes going to and from catholic school in New Jersey everyday…its how l learned all the Beatles songs – then I got a guitar when I was 11 and learned how to play my favorite songs."
For many years, cassettes were the primary source of audio for the Walkman. Before the Internet gave us the freedom to buy songs individually, people either recorded mixtapes from their boomboxes or would go to their local record store to buy the latest tapes from their favorite artists, which didn't always go smoothly.
"While at sleepaway camp at age 13, I discovered the song 'Baba O'Riley' by The Who and I thought that it was cool as shit," recalls Goldwasser. "So when I got home from camp at the end of the summer, I went to the local record store, but I couldn't find it there so I asked if they could order the tape for me. They said that it was on The Who's Greatest Hits, and sure, they could order it for me. I kept checking back with them every few days until they finally got it in. I was so excited to pick it up, only to find that the song wasn't even on that album!"
Compared to vinyl records, cassettes didn't have the same audio quality. Cassettes often had a scratchy, "room noise" accompanying the music while vinyl records sounded crisp and clean. Although the audio quality of vinyl was and still is highly sought after, quality was gladly sacrificed for mobility in this case. Over time, the Walkman evolved from simply playing cassettes to being able to record, pick up radio frequencies, and eventually play CDs. However, the original cassette Walkman will always bring back a sense of nostalgia for those who grew up with it.
"It's amazing for me to think back to sitting on that bus or subway, tapping my feet to 'Try Jah Love', never even imagining that later on I would go on to meet my heroes, Third World and even record with Bunny Rugs," says Goldwasser.
Because no one else felt there was a market for personal music players, Sony was able to capitalize on the phenomenon. There were plenty of secondary competitors like the Toshiba Walky and the Aiwa CassetteBoy, but the Walkman is the one that left it's impression on pop culture, so much so, that it's name was added to the Oxford Dictionary in 1986.
Like all electronic devices however, the Walkman eventually fell victim to newer technology. The release of the Apple iPod in 2001 pushed the Walkman into the realm of the obsolete, and by 2010, Sony decided to discontinue production, ending a thirty-one year run. While reading this may make us feel like we've taken too many trips around the sun, we can look back at products like the Walkman and think back to a simpler time, remembering how much inspiration and happiness we got from the seemingly advanced devices of yesteryear. Now we can only wonder what will come next.

Nobody should harbor ill-intention to take country backwards : PM Oli
Published On: February 19, 2019 02:37 PM NPT By: Republica | @RepublicaNepal
KATHMANDU, Feb 19: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has called upon one and all to contribute from their respective places towards materializing the many decades' uninterrupted dream of the Nepalis for development and prosperity.
The Prime minister made this call while addressing to the special ceremony organised on the occasion of the 69th Democracy Day at the Army Pavilion Tundikhel today.
PM Oli said, "Now we should move ahead speedily towards good governance and development as our next journey was headed to that end."
Stating that Nepal has entered the present new age of federal democratic republic by practicing a completely new system, new dispensation and a new constitution, he reiterated that the situation has changed and with it the priorities of our work as well as our responsibilities.
"We are moving ahead in the direction of a full-fledged democracy with economic development and social justice, fighting against poverty, unemployment, backwardness, discrimination and lack of development, having defeated autocracy and dictatorship," the Prime Minister said.
Reiterating that presently the government was focussed on executing the responsibility of economic and social transformation with a goal of 'Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali', PM Oli said, "Investment conference is being held in April with the participation of the investors from within and outside the country."
He recalled that in the seven decades long journey of achieving the democracy, Nepal had received the moral support of not only of its citizens but also of its foreign friends.
The PM mentioned about the campaign of upgrading Nepal from the status of least developed country to the status of developed country by 2022 and achieving the sustainable development goals by 2030. "We are committed to not let go off the opportunities by utilizing every moment, prospect and capacity."
Prime Minister Oli said, " In the course of long struggle for democracy, we Nepalis established the civic rights by putting to an end the system of rule based on the supremacy of the birth right. I pay tribute to all the respected known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their life in the long and arduous struggle for securing democracy."
The Democracy Day is marked every year in commemoration of the glorious day of Fagun 7, 2007 BS on which the Nepali people overthrew the autocratic Rana oligarchy and established democracy.
He said, "Today is the day to institutionalize the gained achievements as well as to make determination to move ahead after dedicating ourselves in movements held in the past for the establishment of democratic rights, remembering those, who sacrificed their lives for democracy as well as the historical day by reviewing the past weakness."
Prime Minister Oli said those activities causing hindrance in the ongoing democratic process, development construction and discouraging foreign investment are condemnable.
Saying the activities obstructing the campaign of making the country a prosperous would not be acceptable at any cost, he expressed determination that the government would take strict legal action against those involved in such activities.
The Prime Minister said, "I again want to make it clear that no one should harbor ill intention to push the country backward." RSS

Lawyers: Now too late to reverse the Coalition introduced charges.
Irish Water parent company Ervia is said to have been informed that Ireland is debarred by EU provisions from scrapping the domestic water charge.
The Irish Times reports it has seen legal advice where barristers have advised the national water utility that the State is obliged to maintain the existing water charge regime.
The 'paper cites Simons and Collins as saying that the introduction of water charges by the government means the State can now no longer avail of what was a 'very limited' exemption from the charges in the EU Water Directive.
"The exemption 'was only intended' to allow a member state to continue an established practice of not charging.
However, the Times does not state whether the legal opinion on the argued irreversible status of the existing water charge programme includes any mention of the State being precluded from slashing charges to a long-term minimal annual rate of say not more than €20 per household.
The position as reportedly presented to Ervia – Irish Water – is likely to stir still more controversy, particularly with people seeking to know why the Fine Gael-Labour Coalition and before them, Fianna Fail and the Green Party, failed to protect households from water charges by seemingly refusing to adopt the EU derogation – an exemption which was reputably there for the taking.
Former MEP and member of the European Parliament on Environment, Public Health and Food, Kathy Sinnott was one of those who time and time again called on the Irish authorities to accept the derogation.
Her many appeals were ignored.
"I recently tried to alert people to the existence of the "Irish Exemption," Ireland's unique exemption from domestic water charging based on Article 9.4 of the EU Water Framework Directive.
"The exemption is based on the Irish Department of the Environment's commitment, strategy and budget to rectify the inadequacies in our water management without metering.
"This commitment is recorded in the 2008 Irish River Basin Management Plan. Former Minister for Environment John Gormley was able to confirm in 2008 that Ireland had obtained and was availing of the exemption from household water charges.
"I was assured at the time by the European Commission that the EU couldn't take the exemption from us but Ireland could cancel it.
"In trying to confirm the current situation, I contacted Brussels.
"The good news is that the Water Framework Directive Article 9.4 exemption is still in place. The challenging news is that it is under imminent threat of cancellation by the Minister for the Environment, Alan Kelly himself!
"This 2015 River Basin Management Plan is due be handed into Brussels by New Years Day. Both the Irish government and the European Commission are expecting that Minister Kelly will not renew the exemption and will instead include domestic water charging as part of Ireland's strategy.
"Why are they so sure that the plan as yet incomplete and unpublished will include water charging? Because in 2010 the Troika told us to privatize and charge for water and both the Irish government and the EU Commission assume that we will meekly obey, that is we will state in the River Basin report that the only way we can protect our rivers is by charging for domestic water use!
"If the money spent on metering is spent on pipe work the leaks will be repaired. And if the money already collected in taxes for water infrastructure was spent on upgrading treatment plants we would see a significant improvement to the water infrastructure to domestic homes and meet our part of the next 7 year targets on river basin management.
"Because the EU water legislation is based on the "polluter pays principle", the most obvious strategy for financing clean water is to identify the real polluters of water in Ireland and make them pay.
"In the 2008 plan, the sources of pollution are listed. They included agriculture and rural septic tanks. These sources have been tackled at great expense to rural dwellers and significant improvement has been made and progress is ongoing.Other sources like quarrying, mining including old tailings ponds, leaking landfills, forestry, industry are still major sources of pollution.
"If it is the polluter who is supposed to pay then it should be these for-profit industries which should be paying for the purification of the water they pollute and for preventative measures; not the ordinary householder who is already paying.
"To give an example. We are told we need domestic water charging to deal with cryptosporidium in our water supply. But again is this true?
"Uplands all over the country were planted in coniferous forests. Unlike deciduous forests natural to Ireland, these plantations of Sitka spruce trees acidify the soil and do not break down animal waste effectively. After a few decades, these forests are "clear felled" with heavy machinery that rips up the forests leaving the soils exposed. Heavy rains wash the animal waste and acid soil down hill to the river below. The resulting pollution provides ideal conditions for Cryptosporidium and other contaminants.
"Why would the people in these areas who are innocent of causing the problem and who are already bearing the expense of bottled and boiled water asked to foot the bill for cleaning up water pollution they did not cause. The Department of the Environment should instead go to the real polluters, and recover the cost of cleaning up polluted water, or better preventing the pollution in the first place.
"Privatization will not solve our water infrastructure problems because private companies are geared to profit. It will make sense to invest in 500 meters of new piping in a city because it will serve hundreds of paying houses. But it will cut into profits to replace 500 meters of leaking pipes which serves only 5 homes. A privatized water system will still be a leaky water system!
"Alan Kelly can save the Irish Exemption by making the commitment in the River Basin Management Plan that actual water polluters will pay, that funds collected for water infrastructure in existing taxes will be used to upgrade our systems and by creating incentives for improvements to domestic water use like rain water collection system.
"There is still time to save the Irish Exemption…and the Irish people are in the mood to defend it because once the exemption is gone it is gone for good.
Surely the people have the right to know why Sinnott's calls were ignored?

We just received a phone call that Richard Abruzzo and Carol Rymer-Davis have landed in Sweden. This marks the end of a very interesting Gordon Bennett race. We congratulate all pilots for their great achievements.
Final results will be available on Friday when all the pilots have debriefed.
We have been more than busy here in the office after launch. Only a few hours into the flight the balloons were approaching Frankfurt airport, one of the busiest airports in Europe. Since the balloons were to arrive in Frankfurt even before midnight they hit a very active time at the airport, especially with school holidays terminating at the same time. Our ATC controller and the controllers in Langen did a fantastic job to manage a safe way through the airspace of Frankfurt. Thanks to everybody in Langen! It was a great help for us and the ATC guys to watch the progress of the balloons on these pages and that was one of the reasons that no time was left for news communications :-(.
Only a few hours later in late morning nearly the same crowd of balloons invaded Berlin airspace with three airports. Again thanks to our close cooperation with Berlin ATC we also managed to get all the balloons through. We already got feedback from some of the pilots who already landed and they were very grateful to have experienced such a nice flight over Frankfurt and Berlin.
After Berlin the weather was getting bad and some balloons landed in the rain or at least they had to pack up in bad rain after they had landed in north eastern Germany or in northern Poland. Six balloons decided to fly out onto the Baltic Sea. Some of them experienced very bad weather but they all managed to get through it and so far three balloons have landed in Sweden, as you can see from the maps.
Three balloons are still flying and it will be interesting where they will be able to land. Our own analysis shows a good chance to reach the far northern coast of the Baltic sea. It will be an interesting race.
In the briefing this morning a slightly revised schedule was published. In order to get the balloons into the air as soon as possible they are layed out already since 10:00loc. The first two balloons should start to inflate at 12:00loc. You can watch the progress on our webcam. If the flow of helium is as promised all balloons could be filled by 17:00loc so that the launch would be around 18:00loc.
The initial flight path of the balloons will take them through German airspace, south of Frankfurt. The balloons should arrive in the area of Dresden/Cottbus by 0600 UTC tomorrow and then they will continue into Poland. In Poland the wind will turn left and take them out on the Baltic sea. From there the models differ whether the balloons will turn to Sweden or even to Finland/Latvia.
In this morning's briefing it was decided to postpone the launch to Sunday. The weather outlook for today has a lot of rain for the area of Thionville. The rain is supposed to end on Sunday morning.
The next briefing for the pilots is on Sunday morning 09:00loc (07:00 UTC). If the weather forecast from today will be the same tomorrow the first balloons should be ready for inflation at 11:00loc and all balloons should be filled by 18:00loc. So the balloons could all be in the air by Sunday 20:00loc.
More details will be posted when new information is available.

A failure to meet air-pollution standards has largely shut down two of the four units of a Montana coal plant that generates power for Puget Sound Energy.
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality reports that since June 28, Colstrip units 3 & 4 have only been fired up to conduct air-emission tests.
Those are the two largest units at Colstrip, the second-largest coal plant west of the Mississippi. The idled units generate more than 70 percent of the plant's electricity, much of which flows through power lines to homes and businesses in Western Washington served by Puget Sound Energy (PSE).
Even with the units idle, there still have been plenty of alternative sources of electricity. PSE, a part-owner in Colstrip, has been buying power on regional markets and drawing more electricity from its own gas, wind and hydroelectricity facilities.
"There's been no problem meeting demand," said Grant Ringel, a spokesman for PSE, which serves some 1.1 million customers.
PSE also has been able to tap into electricity produced from Colstrip's two older units 1 & 2, which went down for maintenance during the spring but came back on line in mid-June, according to Ringel.
The longterm fate of the Colstrip plant is the subject of intense regional debate, with PSE and other owners planning to shut down the first two units by July 2022. PSE, the largest Colstrip owner, has forecast that it will stop drawing power from the other two units by the early 2030s, and hinted in planning documents that it could happen sooner.
The plans for shutting Colstrip down come amid a surge in renewable-energy production as well as regional conservation efforts that have helped to tamp down demand.
The June failure to meet emission standards limiting air toxics represents a new challenge for Colstrip owners.
Currently, units 3 & 4 are being operated "solely for investigation and troubleshooting," according to a statement released by Todd Martin, a spokesman for Talen Energy, the company that operates Colstrip.
Jenifer Garcin, a spokeswoman for Montana's Department of Environmental Quality, said Talen is expected to deliver a report about the emission tests by Aug. 27. The department will then review the report to see if the plant is in compliance with the regulations.
The units could operate before that date, but the operators could be subject to fines if the emissions violate air-quality standards.


Staggered disclosure is an unfortunate—yet extremely common—experience for betrayed partners.
Staggered disclosure is when a betrayed partner receives repeated and incomplete information about her spouse's unfaithful actions or sexual acting out either directly from him (or her) or indirectly through intentional or unintentional discovery.
For example, her spouse may tell her a story about a particular event one day, and then one or two weeks later he adds other important information to the story that wasn't included the first time around. Or, her spouse tells her he participated in a certain activity less than a handful of times, but she later discovers or is told that the real number is much higher than originally disclosed.
Staggered disclosure is profoundly damaging and hurtful not only to betrayed partners, but also to the restoration of the couples' relationship if they choose to stay together.
Betrayed partners are repeatedly traumatized when they receive additional information about how their spouse was unfaithful after they believed they had the whole story, or thought they had received complete information. Partners often describe the experience of staggered disclosure or discovery as feeling as though the rug is repeatedly pulled out from under them.
If you're a betrayed partner, you know that one of the primary reasons it is so difficult for you to protect yourself from staggered disclosure is that your spouse has information you need, want, and deserve. Because of the deception and gaslighting inherent in chronic betrayal and addiction, you have many unanswered questions about what your spouse has been up to. And the only way to get that information is to ask for it.
As difficult as it can be, I recommend that betrayed partners and unfaithful spouses alike do everything they can to minimize or eliminate staggered disclosure.
He is probably still trying to protect himself, and has likely not accepted that transparency is the only viable path forward for healing and restoring trust. He is also, no doubt, terrified of the consequences of telling the truth. He will give you bits and pieces of information, and tell you that he has told you everything. Unfortunately, when you are repeatedly told that you have been told "everything" only to learn that you haven't, you will eventually stop believing most of what your spouse tells you.
Asking for information when your spouse is not yet ready to be forthcoming and transparent means that you are more likely to get information from him that is not helpful—and is actually hurtful—to you.
Examples include thoughts your spouse was having at the time he was unfaithful, or graphic details about sexual encounters or experiences. While part of you may want this information or believe that it is vital for you to move forward, often the information is based on delusional, addictive thinking, and creates confusion or more unnecessary and painful thoughts, questions, and triggers. Most partners will tell you that in the long run this kind of information serves no useful purpose and was unnecessarily harmful to them.
As an unfaithful spouse, you harm yourself and your relationship by engaging in staggered disclosure because it further erodes what little trust your partner may still have in you. Repeated disclosures dig an even deeper hole from which you must climb out of to prove your honesty and trustworthiness, causing you even more shame and guilt.
Before asking your spouse more questions about past indiscretions and infidelity, ask yourself how the information will help you move toward healing. If you're not sure, write your question down and revisit it later to see if you have more clarity.
Honestly assess your spouse's current capacity for honesty. If you don't believe he is capable of being honest with you, his answers to your questions may have little or no meaning for you.
Write down all of the questions you would like to ask your spouse and process them with your therapist, a member of your support community, or a trusted mentor. Sharing your questions with someone else and getting feedback will help you determine which questions are truly essential.
If you haven't already, request that your spouse work with a trained therapist to prepare a Formal Therapeutic Disclosure (FTD) document to present to you. Partners often find that knowing they will receive FTD in the near future helps decrease or eliminate the urgency to get certain questions answered.
For unfaithful spouses, the best course of action is to begin diligently preparing a Formal Therapeutic Disclosure document with a qualified therapist. Once you've begun the FTD process, your partner can submit all of her questions to your therapist so that you can incorporate the answers into your FTD document.
If there are important or urgent questions (the most common being an imminent public disclosure or serious financial or health information) that can't wait until FTD, arrange with your therapist(s) to have an interim, topic-specific disclosure held in a therapy session to share that information.
Such a good blog! I went through staggered disclosure and its exactly as you describe in terms of damage to the partner and the addict. So difficult to rebuild trust after this on top of the deception and gaslighting.
I still question a full therapeutic disclosure without the use of a polygraph though. When I asked my husband if he would have disclosed everything in an FTD without the polygraph he flat out told me no! He'd been lying to his therapist and group for months as well as to me. The polygraph really cleaned the slate for both of us and it made a huge difference in his recovery and my ability to trust. He still (we both still) works hard, therapy, 12 step etc.but now it's from a point of honesty for the first time in 40+ years in his life!
Thanks for this article, as always so well written!
You're welcome MA! And thanks for mentioning polygraph. While I don't discuss it in this article, I agree that FTD with polygraph should be standard protocol in cases of chronic infidelity, unless the partner chooses not to do one or both.
Thanks for sharing your story of healing and recovery. It will bring hope to many.
How important is it, if you choose for the addict to take a polygraph, that it be done immediately after FTD? Thank you.
Ideally, a post-Formal Therapeutic Disclosure polygraph should be completed within 24 hours after the disclosure session. However, in cases where the polygraph examiner is not geographically near the location of the FTD session, it may not be possible to complete the polygraph within 24 hours.
The danger of having a longer period of time between FTD and polygraph is that if the addict engages in any significant middle circle behaviors or has a recovery slip, it can negatively impact the benefit of the FTD process, even if the disclosure was thorough and complete at the time it was held.
My husband cannot remember much. He's 66. How long does it take to remember and complete FTD?
Hi Kathryn, you can find more info about how long it should take to prepare a Formal Therapeutic Disclosure in my article, How Long Should It Take to Prepare a Disclosure?
Unless your husband has a physical condition that is impacting his cognitive functioning, memory should not be a problem. My husband just turned 60 recently and his memory seems pretty sharp to me!

Elseworlds Characters, Crossover Characters, Silver Age Characters, Allies
Daredevil #1 (1964)
Bill Everett (yellow costume)
Wally Wood (red costume)
Frank Miller (modern version)
Daredevil was the alias of Matthew "Matt "Murdock, a blind lawyer from New York that moonlights as a vigilante crimefighter. Unlike Batman, he lives and operates on a modest salary with a minimal amount of weapons and gadgets.
1.2 Daredevil
3 Appearances with Batman
4 Background Information and Notes
Matt Murdock was the son of a boxer named Jack "Battlin' Jack" Murdock and a nun named Margaret "Maggie" Murdock. When he was only an infant, his mother abandoned him and left her husband due to postpartum depression and self-loathing before going to live in a commune church.
Matt was raised in Hell's Kitchen, New York by his father Jack who was dedicated to making his son grow up to have a better life and to not be violent, something which caused Matt to be frequently bullied growing up. When Matt was only a child, he pushed a blind man out of the way of a truck carrying radioactive waste. The truck veered away and crashed, causing the radioactive chemicals to pour onto Matt and blind him for life.
Presumably due to the radiation, Matt's senses were heightened to make up for his lost vision. Most notably, Matt was able to use his hearing to effectively use echolocation. He would refine these powers with the help of, "Stick", a blind martial-artist who wished to train Matt to be a soldier in his elite warrior order, The Chaste.
One night, Matt's father Jack agreed to a deal with some gangsters to take a fall in a boxing match for money. However, as a means of inspiring Matt he chose not to and won the game. Later that night, Jack was murdered by the mob, making Matt effectively an orphan.
Matt grew up to have a promising legal-career but in secret, wished to avenge his father's murder. In university, Matt tracked down his father's murderer to a brothel only for the gangster to die of a heart-attack. In the brawl, a prostitute named Mary Walker was inadvertently knocked out of a window by Matt. Due to all of this, Stick lost faith in Matt and abandoned him.
In Columbia Law-School, Matt came to have a relationship with another protegée of Stick's named Elektra Natchios (although he was unaware of her training). The two fell deeply in-love but ultimately split-up after Elektra's father was murdered by the police. He also became friends with one Franklin "Foggy" Nelson who he'd go on to start a law-firm with back in Hell's Kitchen known as Nelson and Murdock.
After returning to Hell's Kitchen, Matt donned a devil-inspired costume made from boxing gear taken from his father's old gym and used it to craft the persona of Daredevil. At night, Matt would dress up as Daredevil in-order to fight crime whereas during the day-time he would act as benevolent lawyer with his more opportunistic but good-hearted partner, Foggy. Additionally, they came to hire the secretary Karen Page who Matt fell in-love with although the relationship came to be ruined by Matt's secretive nature and Karen's drug-addiction.
As Daredevil, Matt garnered a good amount of rogues, many dark and many goofy (not too different from those of Batman). Of them all, the most notable was probably Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk; New York's Kingpin of Crime, Fisk had vast social and political influence, a successful company in the form of Fisk Industries, a criminal empire shrouded in mystery, a genius intellect with a strength for psychological-warfare, and a hulking body which he trained in judo.
At Kingpin's side was the deranged assassin Bullseye who could use any handheld object as a lethal projectile. After failing to kill Daredevil, Kingpin fired Bullseye causing the assassin to be humiliated and have his psyche degrade more and more while obsessively trying to kill Daredevil and redeem himself in Fisk's eyes. To replace him, Fisk employed Matt's old flame Elektra as his new chief-assassin, causing complications in both of their careers and relationships. When Bullseye found out about this, he murdered Elektra in-front of Daredevil by driving her own sai blades through her gut only from Daredevil to drop him off of a ledge. Bullseye would survive however and be given a bone encased in the invincible metal adamantium. Elektra too would be resurrected by the Hand, the rival assassin clan of Stick's Chaste which Elektra secretly served.
Other notably enemies of Daredevil included: Leland "The Owl" Owlsley, a gangster who injected himself with owl DNA to gain bird-like powers only to progressively lose his mind to his animalistic side; Zebediah "The Purple Man" Kilgrave, a superhuman with purple physiology who could control the wills of others by speaking instructions to them; Melvin "The Gladiator" Potter, a criminal engineer whose mind was damaged by psychoactive drugs; and Mary "Typhoid Mary" Walker, a schizophrenic superhuman who was the same woman Daredevil accidentally dropped out of the window of the brothel all those years ago. He would also notably come to clash heads frequently with the vigilante Frank Castle AKA The Punisher who blindly murdered every criminal he clashed with and had little remorse for those who got in his way.

Background Information and Notes
Daredevil had a ninja training backstory before Batman, which has now become a near constant in newer incarnations of the character. DC took notice of Frank Miller's work on Daredevil and allowed him to create the influential 1986 Dark Knight comic series.
Batman editor Denny O'Neil also edited Daredevil at Marvel for a time, and invited Miller and Daredevil artist David Mazzucchelli to create the Batman: Year One to revitalize the mainstream continuity.
Ben Affleck signed on to play the character in the 2003 movie because he is a fan Frank Miller's work, particularly Dark Knight Returns. Michael Keaton's fight double Dave Lea trained Affleck for the role and Jose Fernandez built the costume.
The character of Gilda Dent as she appeared in Batman: The Long Halloween by Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb additionally appeared in the Loeb/Sale story, Daredevil: Yellow. Here she goes under the alias of "Grace" while trying to escape her past (heavily implied to be the murders she commit in the Long Halloween) before getting blackmailed by the Daredevil villain, The Owl.
Daredevil would often fight the vigilante Kyle Richmond AKA Nighthawk. Nighthawk was created to serve as Marvel's pastiche of Batman and is often used as their stand-in for him.
Daredevil catches Batarangs and puts them up to his head like horns.

Top 100 Songs of 2016 (80-61)
December 27, 2016 • Alec
Day 2 of the Countdown is here, let's get to it!
80. High and Low by Empire of the Sun
Empire of the Sun came back from a hiatus with a really good album; this song is the pick of the bunch.
79. Are You Sure by Kriss Kross Amsterdam & Conor Maynard ft. Ty Dolla $ign
Any song with a Ty Dolla $ign feature is going to do well, and this electro pop song also benefits from a cool drop.
78. UGH! by The 1975
The 1975 are just catchy. Their riffs are so good that you can't turn off their music. No longer just a boy band, The 1975's stock is trending.
77. Kiss it Better by Rihanna
Just like every Rihanna album, Anti is completely different from the rest of her records. Her power ballad approach to most of the album has varying results, but Kiss it Better is certainly a highlight.
76. Raging by Kygo ft. Kodaline
In an era where EDM stars rarely release albums, Kygo's Cloud Nine stars as the top EDM album of the year. Kygo abandons a lot of his signature sounds on this song, but they return for the drop.
75. The Mack by Nevada ft. Mark Morrison & Fetty Wap
Take a classic hit from the 1990's, throw a fresh beat on it, and let Fetty Wap croon over the whole song. Seems to work for this one!
74. Can't Fight It by Quintino & Cheat Codes
Cheat Codes have been putting out incredible songs all year long. To hear what they have to say be sure to check out my interview with them here!
73. Fake Love by Drake
Drake does what he does best in this one; make the catchiest, easiest to sing chorus possible so it gets stuck in everyone's head.
72. Be Alright by Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande looked like she was all done. Between the donut eating scandal, and the lack of success with Focus, she needed some luck. Out of nowhere, her album Dangerous Woman was chock full of really solid music; Be Alright is a particular highlight.
71. Whole Lotta Lovin by DJ Mustard ft. Travi$ Scott
It seems like with each passing week Rap and EDM are combining styles, most notably Vic Mensa's entire songbook. This combo from Travi$ Scott and DJ Mustard is definitely one of the better ones.
70. Some Other Dude by Everywhere
We've mentioned a couple catchy songs in the countdown already, but this one could take the cake. The British group Everywhere is picking up lots of traction and are definitely a group to watch.
69. Give It To Me Twice by Sean Kingston, Rich The Kid & Party Favor
Insert LL Cool J's "Don't Call it a Comeback" quote here because Sean Kingston is back! While it's not the fun loving reggae that we once had, it's an awesome song with one of my favorite drops of the year.
68. PILLOWTALK by Zayn
PILLOWTALK challenges Closer for the most overplayed song of 2016, but not without reason. Zayn's tender words and the driving beat are just awesome.
67. Summer Nights by Tiesto ft. John Legend
As a DJ, it really helps to have John Legend be your vocalist in your song. Legend kills the vocals and Tiesto continues to show that age does not matter in the EDM scene.
66. Ain't A Thing by Oliver Nelson ft. Kaleem Taylor
Oliver Nelson is bringing disco back! To read more about this song check out my interview with Oliver here!
65. Kiss The Sky by The Knocks ft. Wyclef Jean
The Knocks finally released their full length album earlier this year, and Kiss The Sky is the pick of the litter. Wyclef Jean steals the show on the vocals.
64. Plans by Elephante ft. Brandyn Burnette
Elephante started his career as very much a really hard hitting artist, but took a new approach with his latest EP. Plans is very mellow, but the bridge of the song rocks!
63. Summer Sixteen by Drake
If only Views was better… Drake foreshadows to a killer summer, which he achieved with One Dance.
62. Tears by Clean Bandit ft. Louisa Johnson
There are just so many moving parts to this song that it's tough not to appreciate the song. The double time drop is the clear highlight of the song.
61. Summer Friends by Chance the Rapper ft. Jeremih & Francis and the Lights
I'll go on the record saying I was not a huge fan of Coloring Book. However, you can't deny how awesome this song is. Chance's flow is locked in on this one. Chance's best work is when he's with Jeremih (listen to their Christmas album if you disagree).
That's it for today, stay tuned in this week to see who gets #1!
