Complex Calculations on Academics
By JACQUES STEINBERG and DIANA B. HENRIQUES
Published: July 16, 2002
In the debate over Edison Schools, the educational management company that is about to take over 20 failing schools in Philadelphia, Edison's supporters and its opponents cite test scores and academic studies to bolster their arguments.
Unfortunately, little of that evidence is as conclusive as it has been portrayed, making an evaluation of Edison's seven-year academic record far more difficult than tracking its plummeting stock price.
For its part, Edison has long used opinion surveys and test scores to make its case.
Nearly 90 percent of parents with children in Edison-run schools, for example, gave their schools an A or B on a survey conducted for the company last year by Harris Interactive. By comparison, 68 percent of public school parents gave their schools the same high marks, according to a 2001 survey conducted by the Gallup Organization for Phi Delta Kappa International, a research group.
Edison has also calculated that more than 80 percent of its schools have improved on standardized tests. By Edison's reckoning, the average gains at those schools are larger than those in schools in dozens of the nation's largest school districts.
''Any fair-minded person sitting down with our test scores and any other large district's test scores would rather have ours,'' said John E. Chubb, Edison's chief education officer.
But while Edison's simplified academic results have long reassured many investors and politicians, they have not satisfied some testing experts, who caution against making generalizations about the test scores of Edison's 75,000 students in 22 states. It is hard enough, they say, to evaluate students in one district using one standardized test.
''Is Edison any good?'' asked Karen Bachofer, the assessment director for the San Diego public schools, which do not employ Edison. That question, Dr. Bachofer said, ''seems very straightforward, but those of us who do it for a living know how tricky it is.''
Perhaps Edison's most widely cited contention is that test scores at 84 percent of the schools that it began managing before 2001 are improving. To calculate that figure, Edison took the average annual change in test scores for each grade on each subject tested and arrived at a single schoolwide average. If the number was greater than zero, the company rated the school as improving, or ''positive.''
Dr. Bachofer is among those experts who called that approach generous, because large gains in one subject or grade might mask declines in several others.
''Any time you aggregate something down to a single number,'' she said, ''the number loses its utility.''
At the Schomburg Charter School in Jersey City, which Edison has managed since 2000, reading scores declined in the second, third and fourth grades when those students were compared with others nationally. The losses, were outweighed, however, by the fifth grade's 17-percentage point increase.
Edison rated the school's performance as ''positive.''
The same formula produced similarly glowing results when applied, for example, to schools in the Cleveland school district, which has struggled academically in recent years. When asked by The New York Times to subject its test results over the last five years to Edison's method, Cleveland achieved comparable results: 87.4 percent of its elementary and middle schools rated ''positive.'' (High schools were excluded because Edison mostly manages elementary and middle schools.)
''I have schools that look good by this metric that we're very worried about,'' said Peter Robertson, the Cleveland district's chief assessment officer.
Elementary and middle schools in the El Paso Independent School District in Texas, a similar district with no ties to Edison, also had similar results when the same standard was applied: 81 percent rated as improving.
Dr. Chubb of Edison acknowledged that reducing a school's performance to a single adjective was perhaps an oversimplification, but noted that many states, including California and Texas, had similar formulas for grading schools. ''There's no one way to do it,'' he said.
H. Christopher Whittle, the company's chief executive, said: ''The great majority of our schools are up in terms of their results. The question becomes, 'How much are they up in terms of other systems?' That is a complex issue.''
One of the complexities of comparison is that Edison manages mostly low-performing schools, while other districts and states have a range of performances in their schools. Moreover, students in Edison schools start at such low levels that they are more likely to make larger gains than students at better schools.
Edison does indeed assert that its test scores are improving more quickly than those in dozens of large urban districts, including Cleveland and El Paso. This, too, involves a formula that is disputed by some experts.
To reach its conclusion, Edison first separated its own schools' test scores and those of the other districts into two main categories. The first were scores on so-called criterion-referenced tests, which establish a passing grade based on the number of questions answered correctly. The second were scores on norm-referenced tests, which rank students based on how they compare to others who took the test across the nation.

Former Associate editor Margret Aldrich on the hunt for happiness, community, and how humans thrive
by Julie Hanus
health and wellness, omega-3, fish oil, mental health, Colorado Springs Independent, Spirituality and Health
At the beginning of June, I wrote a bit about omega-3s and our developing understanding of the complex role these essential fatty acids play in our bodies, especially with respect to brain chemistry. Since then I also spotted a nice piece in the Colorado Springs Independent on the subject, about a doctor who says omega-3 deficiency (that is, eating too little fish) could be the cause of rising rates of mental illness.
At any rate, I know the preponderance of stories in the media has made me extra-diligent about taking my fish oil capsules, which is why I wanted to point to an unnerving piece in the July-August issue of Spirituality & Health about health risks and the choosing the best fish oil supplements.
As Matt Sutherland writes:
If you're unnerved by the idea that a typical package of hamburger might contain flesh from hundreds, if not thousands, of cows, you may be surprised to know the oil in your fish oil capsule may be derived from several different species, including sardines, herring, anchovies, tuna, cod, krill (a shrimp-like planktonic crustacean, and even farm-raised salmon. Furthermore, these fish, which get their omega-3 from eating microalgae, may come from shallow waters near heavily populated shores, where heavy metals, toxins, PCBs, and other pollutants concentrate….
Delightful. If you're looking to reap the health benefits of fish oil, Sutherland advises doing your own research. "Terms like 'ultra-refined,' 'high-potency,' 'pharmaceutical-grade,' etc., are marketing hyperbole," he writes. "The industry as a whole, has not agreed on definitions of purity or quality."
Look for pills that have been tested for heavy metals other pollutants. A bottling date is also a plus, as is cold-press extraction. And definitely pay attention to what kind of fish a company is using to produce its pills.
Spectrum Organics, for example, uses "non-threatened salt water species of wild-caught, small, plankton-feeding fish (anchovies, mackerel and sardines) that are low on the food chain," according to the company's website. It made Sutherland's list of recommended producers to check out, along with Nordic Naturals, Carlson, and Barlean's, based on a survey of independent natural food stores.

By Jeremy Dugan
The Wine Country Staff
From my earliest memory, I always liked sour things. As a kid I used to bite into pieces of lemon and make a sour face to entertain my family. So is there any surprise that when I was introduced to sour beers I became a fan?
Now using the word "Sours" can be tricky because there are different levels of sourness in beers. And that's what I'm here to do, to introduce people to those sour beers that are great introduction beers and those that are not made for the weak of tongue.
If you are just getting interested to sour beers, allow me to introduce you to Telegraph Brewing Company's Reserve Wheat Ale ($11.99 750ml).
Unlike many of the West Coast breweries that we find here in our great state, Telegraph Brewing Company likes to brew their beers in a more old fashion (Old World) way while using ingredients local to them in their Santa Barbara location. Their Reserve Wheat Ale is a shining example of that; this golden yellow beer has a nose that lets you know what is in the beer. With a citrus-lemon start, it finishes with a nice light wheat scent that warms the nose a bit. The taste, is much like the nose as well, more citrus based; like many sour beers, the Reserve Wheat Ale also has an earthy aftertaste given to it by the wheat used. At 5% ABV this "Wild Ale" (beers that are introduced to "wild" yeast or bacteria, such as: Brettanomyces, Pediococcus or Lactobacillus) is like many traditional European Ales in that it is light in color but has a great taste that can sometimes be deceived by the color.
So now that you've gotten your first ride in on the sour bike, let's move onto the next step up.
Now it's time to take the training wheels off (keep the helmet on) and enter the next level of sour beer. After such a great start, let me introduce you to Strubbe's Grand Cru, a Flemish Red Ale (known to those in West Flanders as just "red" ale).
Like many other Red Ales, the Strubbe's Grand Cru has a reddish color with the smell of citrus and little sting to the nostrils that will remind you of vinegar. To the taste, the Grand Cru is like licking a variety of sour blow pops, with hints of sour apple, cherries, berries and lemon. The tartness of the beer isn't as strong as one would led by the nose, which leaves many newcomers to the sour beer world pleasantly surprised. When tasting the Stubbe's Grand Cru it is easy to see how the Strubbe family has been able to be the only surviving brewery (founded in 1830) in their small town of Ichtegem in West Flanders. At 6.5% ABV this is another beer that won't hurt you after one, so if you like it you can drink another one without getting blasted!
Time to put on the grown up face and meet the big sour beer, or should I say put on the sour face?
O.K., time to take off the helmet now. Introducing The Bruery's Oude Tart ($20.99 per 750ml), done in the style of Flemish Red Ales.
While it is made in somewhat of a similar way as the Stubbe's Grand Cru, Oude Tart makes Stubbe's taste like a hefeweizen. This dark brown sour from Placentia, California, shows you just how different most West Coast breweries are from the traditional brewing styles of Europe (or like Telegraph who is brewing in the traditional style). The Bruery is well known for making their beers full of flavor and Oude Tart is no different in that idea. On the nose, this beer is full of sour smells: sour apple, dark cherries, cider vinegar and a hint of oak due to the barrels it is aged in. The taste, very similar to the nose but with an intensity that will make you look like the iconic Warheads caricature. Very sour to start out, but once it mellows out it becomes a great combination of dark cherries, sour apples, hints of dark fruits, citrus, and finishes with a hint of caramel, again due to the oak. At just 7.5% ABV, it is the strongest on this list of sours but still on the easy side of drinking.
Please folks, don't be afraid of sours. Yes, they are weird; yes, it may take you a couple to figure out if you're having difficulty with a particular beer, or if you don't like them, period. But how are you going to know if you don't try?
After my first sour, I wasn't a huge fan of the style, but that's because it was a softer sour (not the Reserve Wheat, but something similar). Then I tried my second sour (just so happened to be Stubbe's) and I fell in love with the stuff. We truly only know if we don't like something unless we've tried it, so why not give a sour face a try?

Look Up - 5 Quick Tips on Astronomy Spotting Scopes
1. Astronomy spotting scopes are basically compact telescopes designed for terrestrial viewing. They provide range, sensitivity, and power that far exceed those offered by standard binoculars or spotting.
2. Other common scope applications include birding, hunting, surveillance, beginning telephotography, and scenic observing. But point your astronomy spotting scope at the night sky, and your imagination is the limit.
3. There are two basic types: angled and straight. Straight spotting scopes are easier for beginners and for terrestrial viewing. Angled spotting scopes are well-suited for astronomy purposes as they can be comfortably mounted and pointed skyward.
4. These are becoming a popular alternative to more traditional optics, like telescope finderscopes or binoculars, because of their ability to fit high-quality optics into a light, easy-to-carry form factor.
5. Many modern astronomy scopes allow for the use of the lens as a telephoto lens in conjunction with a camera. These lenses generally operate at fixed apertures and with far greater magnifications than standard telephoto lenses, making them ideal for beginning astrophotography.

HAN HONG, a well-known PLA singer, has been caught committing traffic violations in Beijing three times in just two weeks. Han issued a public apology Sunday, a day after police said she had been fined 5,000 yuan (US$816) for driving a black Land Rover with another car's number plate in Beijing's eastern district a day earlier.
"I feel discredited and ashamed for my actions," she wrote in her apology, which she posted on her microblog along with a copy of the receipt that proved she paid the fine.
Han claimed in her apology that she used another license plate because she wasn't awarded a plate in the monthly lottery, which is meant to reduce congestion in the city. In July, 1.52 million applicants vied for 18,485 license plates for small passenger cars, according to Beijing municipal traffic police.
Just two days earlier Han had been photographed driving a black Ferrari on the city's often-clogged fourth ring road without a license plate. Drivers photographed her speaking on her mobile phone while driving, another offense.
In mid-July, Han, 42, had also crashed a black Audi A8 into another car, while driving in a bus lane in Beijing. The limousine she was driving also lacked a number plate.
The half-Tibetan superstar is most known for her role as a judge on Chinese Idol, one of the most popular TV shows of this year. She is also the deputy head of the PLA Air Force art troupe and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's national committee.
With the advantages of being a celebrity come responsibilities, a commentary in The Beijing News read yesterday. They "have the responsibility to convey the right set of values," it said. "Respecting the law is more important than an apology."
Many online commentators asked whether she should be fined more for repeatedly breaking the law. Others praised her for apologizing and promising to mend her ways.
The incident came after the PLA's art troupe suffered a major publicity setback this year with the ongoing trial of the son of renowned PLA singer Li Shuangjiang in Beijing for allegedly participating in a gang rape in the capital in February. (SD-Agencies)

A short-term cash flow analysis on planting establishment and a Net Present Value (NPV) analysis will be used to calculate the future returns and cash flows for different scenarios, for the establishment period and the life of the planting. The difference between each scenario's NPV per acre and the baseline scenario (the virus-free planting) is the value the growers receive from the use of virus-free raspberry nursery stock plants. Baseline data on planting costs, revenues, and financial assumptions will come from studies compiled and published through universities and current research planting and used to compute the NPVs.

Definition of extemporize
intransitive verb
1 : to do something extemporaneously : improvise; especially : to speak extemporaneously
2 : to get along in a makeshift manner
transitive verb
: to compose, perform, or utter extemporaneously : improvise <extemporized an after-dinner speech>
Examples of extemporize in a sentence
<a good talk show host has to be able to extemporize the interviews when things don't go as planned>
Did You Know?
Extemporize means to say or do something on the spur of the moment, an appropriate meaning given the word's history. "Extemporize" was coined by adding the suffix -ize to Latin ex tempore, meaning "instantaneously" or "on the spur of the moment." "Ex tempore," in turn, was formed by combining "ex" and a form of the noun tempus, meaning "time." Incidentally, "ex tempore" was also borrowed wholesale into English (where it means "extemporaneously"). Other descendents of Latin ex tempore include the now rare "extemporal" and "extemporary" (both synonyms of "extemporaneous"), and, as you have no doubt guessed by now, "extemporaneous" itself.

Housing director testifies that he was suspicious of Hill and Lee's involvement with developers
Jerry Killingsworth, Dallas' director of housing, testified Tuesday in the Dallas City Hall public corruption trial that he went to an assistant city manager with suspicions that former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill and his plan commission appointee, D'Angelo Lee were too close to developer Brian Potashnik.
"I thought Lee was getting fees for these projects," Killingsworth recalled telling an assistant city manager.
Killingsworth wasn't asked by prosecutor Chad Meacham whom he told, and testimony has not revealed what became of that particular blown whistle.
Killingsworth said his suspicions arose shortly after an October 2004 Dallas City Coucil meeting where Hill led the approval of two of Potashnik's affordable housing projects in his council district.
Potashink won out over James R. "Bill" Fisher, who had competing affordable housing projects on the council agenda in southern Dallas. Rules prohibited two housing projects within a mile of each other during a certain time period, so the council had a choice to make.
Killingsworth and his staff, incidentally, had recommended that council not approve any of the low-income projects that meeting. Even though both Potashnik's and Fisher's developments were top notch, approving several at one time would cause them to fill up too slowly with tenants, he recalled telling council members at the time.
Shortly after the council voted to approve two of Potashnik's projects, Killingsworth learned of Potashnik's plans to turn over ownership of some of his developments to the Dallas Housing Authority.
That would make the projects exempt not only from city taxes, but also school, county and hospital taxes. And it would mean more money in the developer's pocket.
Killingsworth testified Tuesday that he was upset that he was not told this initially, before the council voted. He also eventually learned that Hill and Lee were helping Potashnik broker the deal with the DHA.
What did you think of Hill's involvement in the tax exempt matter? Prosecutor Chad Meacham asked Killingsworth Tuesday.
After a long, long pause, Killingsworth told jurors: "Council members get involved in deals in their districts. This is more involvement than I normally see."
What's going through your mind at this point? Meacham asked, drawing the retired banker out.
"At this point in time, I'm not comfortable with anything that's going on with these particular projects," Killingsworth said.
What about with Lee's involvement as well? Meacham asked.
"Same thing," Killingsworth testified. "I'm not comfortable."
Turns out, Killingsworth wasn't the only person with concerns.
Within weeks of him losing out to Potashnik at the late October 2004 council meeting, Fisher contacted the FBI. He told agents that Lee had solicited bribes from him, on behalf of Hill, leading up to that vote. He told agents that when he refused to pay, he saw his projects fail at Hill's behest.
Fisher agreed to become an FBI informant and is expected to testify at some point during the trial.

What you may see as normal, or may not even see at all, can swiftly be focused or altered into something more.
This is the philosophy of local photographer Tina Link, whose "Collection of Photographs" is up for display and sale at the Harrison Public Library this month. Link, who has been a Har-rison resident for 15 years, boasts a collection of photographs featuring elements of light, shadow and shape throughout various well known and unknown locales.
"When I'm with my camera, I'm in a different mode," Link said. "I'm looking for those images, looking for the light, the shadows, the textures, the shapes and the forms. I'm looking for those elements of design which inform me the most."
The collection, which will remain available for public viewing until Feb. 25, is part of a monthly artist series the library hosts, according to library director Galina Chernykh.
"We are the center of the community—not just for books, but as an intellectual center," Chernykh said. "It is very important for the cultural exchange in our community. These exhibits end up being a wonderful relationship between local artists and our library."
Link's roots in photography began from her college years at Ohio University. As an Ohio native, Link was given a camera by her uncle, who didn't know how to use it, and, after snapping photos on her campus, she ventured into the fine arts field.
Link continued to keep photography prominent in her life, working various jobs pertaining to the camera, such as medical photography. She then decided to pursue a landscape architecture degree, leading her to the Rhode Island School of Design.
"It was another passion of mine," Link said, referring to landscaping. "I think I follow what I feel I can genuinely do, so I jumped from photography to landscape design."
It wasn't until the recent recession that Link got back into photography as a primary passion, and began taking many of the photos seen in her collection at the library, which also serves as her first solo show.
Link submitted her work in May 2013 along with more than 60 other desired artists for the chance have their own show at the Harrison Public Library this year.
"We have a special juried arts program once a year," Chernykh said. "Local artists submit their work to [the Harrison Council for the Arts], who decide who will be on exhibit for the whole year."
Many of Link's photos are instantly recognizable locations—Rye's Playland Park, Grand Central Station, the Freedom Tower and more—but Link puts a noticeable spin on the locations, adding a blurred or focused effect that centers on a specific aspect of the known places.
"I enjoy finding a small element within a larger element, and making the smaller element its own object," Link said. "It's like looking at a whole scene and zeroing in on one detail, and making that its own subject matter."
Many of her pieces also play on contrasting colors in natural settings, and often draw the abstract out of the normal.
As for photography, Link views the art as an important part of her daily life. For her, the experience of photography, particularly as an art medium, is extremely important.
"It's really how you feel and the expression that comes across," Link said. "Everyone is a photographer, but it doesn't take away from the fine art of photography. It's about what you do with it and how you feel when you're taking the pictures."
Link's photography is just one of 12 exhibits expected throughout this year at the library. For more information on exhibits and viewing times—and information on having your work shown at the library next year—visit harrisonpl.org.

Burning the candle at both ends takes its toll. The calling cards of an overworked complexion—flaky patches, puffiness and redness—can be reactions to stress, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption and a sleighful of salty foods. These tips will help bring skin back to life after you've been the life of the party.
Fight flakes London skin-care specialist Jo Malone suggests slathering on a blend of rich moisturizer (we like Clinique Repairwear) and her Vitamin E Gel (for extra nourishment). Then sit in a steamy bath for
20 minutes. "The heat opens pores," she says. "And the mix replenishes 50 percent of the moisture your face needs instantly, then keeps working."
Push aside puffiness Over the course of an active day, gravity will drain excess fluid. Malone says a light facial massage can help boost circulation. Apply a moisturizer for glide (try Benefit Wonder Lift, which contains chamomile to aid depuffing), then move fingers in small circular motions upward from the jaw.
Rub out redness "Saline solution seems to shrink capillaries," says makeup artist Mally Roncal of New York City. "I've swiped it over my entire face to take away redness." A clarifying product, such as Helena Rubinstein Power A. Lotion, helps to even out skin tone. Or fake it with optical diffusers (in Avon Anew Luminosity Ultra). Now make a promise to still have fun but take better care of yourself.

As many of us have long expected, the truth is now finally emerging on the AIDS epidemic that has generated universal attention for more than a decade. A new United Nations report out last week acknowledged that those involved in fundraising for AIDS had greatly exaggerated the true numbers of the disease.
Granted, there are still as many as 33 million people infected with the AIDS virus, though some experts now put the number much lower. But most of that number is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa where a number of factors combine to make education there virtually impossible. But worldwide, researchers now say there are as many as 40 percent less new cases than before predicted. And there are at least an estimated 7 million less cases than we've been told. One report says there are 15 million less cases. You start to get the drift that we lack specific data.
Now the numbers are still staggering. But it makes you lack trust or offer support when you know that those who seek funding for the issue have consistently lied about the scope of the problem. And that apparently is exactly what has happened.
One researcher said there was a "tendency toward alarmism" which fits a "fundraising agenda."
Hollywood and the gay community have clearly used the inflated numbers to generate both interest and money. But now it appears that much of those funds could more usefully have been spent on other health issues. And should have been used for other health issues.
The United States probably needs to continue financial aid to Africa to help fight the problem. I won't argue that point. But you don't change a culture with money and everyone involved needs to understand this basic truth.
Last year, nearly $10 billion was provided to fight the spread of AIDS. That is an enormous outlay of funds by any measure. Yet when you consider that the numbers were vastly inflated it makes you regret that our money, our resources and our energies might have had a greater and more positive result if spent elsewhere.

The Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai says he is pushing for a floor vote in his chamber on a $2.5 billion transportation plan that passed the state Senate by an overwhelming majority.
Turzai's comments Monday indicated a plan that he's criticized as too expensive and unsupportable by the more conservative House GOP majority could become law.
Turzai, of Allegheny County, says Gov. Tom Corbett wants a vote on the bill and Turzai says he's inclined to hold it sooner rather than later.
The Senate's transportation bill is also supported by business groups and labor unions. Corbett issued a less-expensive plan and hasn't publicly pushed for passage of the Senate's bill.
Movement on transportation could encourage Republican senators to support liquor system privatization legislation, a top priority of the House GOP.

Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Mon, July 23, 2007 - 1:15 PMI heard that one of the main indicators of whether or not a relationship will survive is if there is "contempt" present in either party then it is doomed to failure. I read it in the first chapter of a book called "BLINK" - talked about a scientific study. So... I guess I would go back and look at your verbal and nonverbal interactions. Was he contemptuous of you or you of him? If so, maybe it is not hte right relationship... If you can afford to let each other have your differences then things might work out. Its hard when you have differnet personalitites but sometimes that can provide the balance needed.

C'est Moi
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sun, August 12, 2007 - 8:49 AMThat is something I havent thought of that is really true~
I believe it.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, September 1, 2007 - 3:00 AMI was in a LTR with an ISTJ- although I cared for him, I don't think that I see myself growing old with him.. I also wouldn't really want to date another ISTJ after having been in a relationship with one.
I really tried to broaden my horizens by dating him. It just wasn't very FUN.
After having had multiple long-term relationships, I came to the conclusion that I am HAPPIEST with someone who accepts me for who I am, someone I feel that I simply "click" with, someone who shares the same values, someone who's just a bestfriend.
A relationship with an ISTJ, for me, really drained out my self-esteem and was really taxing on my energy. Don't want to sound so negative, but I believe things happen for a reason. Perhaps dating the 'ex', although temporarily the pain may be there, you will be 10 X's happier dating someone who is more similar to you- that way, both partners grow "together" rather than apart.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Mon, September 3, 2007 - 7:51 AMi can't contemplate being with someone whose mind works so different from my own. i think that ultimately true understanding will keep a couple together long term. the differences attract initially but for long term you really want someone with similar passions, interests, values, viewpoints . . . i think the more these things are aligned or similar the greater the longevity & health of the relationship.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Mon, September 3, 2007 - 9:51 AMMy best girlfriend is an ENFP and her hubby is ISTJ. They fight like children a lot, but they are made for each other. They share all of the same fundamental values about life, so even though their approaches are opposite, they find a middle ground to make it work. They really love each other and I can't picture either of them with any one else, it wouldn't make sense. They've been together for 8 years.
It seems like types are a good start, but by no means the ultimate authority.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Fri, November 2, 2007 - 11:34 PMI'm an ENFP woman dating an ISTJ man and it works really well. We are both in our mid-30s and have made our mistakes in earlier relationships. We respect and appreciate our differences, which is VERY key to this combination. I enjoy that we share similar values about making a difference in the world and treating people well - and being generous in general (I find it very difficult to date people that I find to be 'selfish'). My ISTJ had done a lot of personal growth before I met him which is a major bonus. He made a personal commitment to improve his communication and relationship skills as he recognized that they limited his previous romantic relationships. The one area where I had some worry initially was feeling that his traditional ways might "box me in" so I was very clear that I am a relatively free and creative spirit and that I need space to be myself. He 'got' this when I put it this way because he also needs space but in a different way.
So, in short, yes a relationship between an ENFP and ISTJ can work very well yet it depends on what you want and what's most important to you. Previously I had a pretty good relationship with an ESFP who was very similar to me but he was INSANELY DISORGANIZED which I found incredibly stressful and inhibited my personal sense of freedom and creativity. In contract, I like my ISTJ because he loves to do the taxes, naturally enjoys doing the dishes and generally seems to revel in keeping things organized which means that it doesn't fall so heavily on me and I can draw on my strengths and bring fun and laughter into our lives I also had a long-term relationship with an INTJ which I didn't enjoy as much. While I admired his intellect and ambition, I found him to be judgemental about our differences - and it was always my fault according to him - and he was generally way too private and aloof.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Fri, May 6, 2011 - 9:16 AMi have had the exact same experience except im the enfp and im male, other than the difference in our age your spot on with my experience.... past relationships made us appreciate the way we are and i love how she does the mundane everyday tasks .... also she doesnt let me forget deadlines which i have a terrible time with. glad to see someone else having a positive istj enfp relationship
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, November 3, 2007 - 6:48 AMI am married happily to an ISFJ, but that isn't the same...
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Fri, April 15, 2011 - 5:34 AMI am in relationship whit ISTJ and it frustrating me. But on the other hand i admire to him and his control,its almost a magic for me to be able to control emotions that well. I am trying to learn from him how to control emotions but in some point i am wondering does he have emotions at all. Sometimes i think i need profesional help whit that relationship.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Tue, April 19, 2011 - 9:59 PMI don't think so. I know some are able to do it, but I think it depends on the degrees of your personality type. My ISTJ experience, while growth-changing, has been emotionally and physically draining just like others have mentioned. It has been 4 years, and not much changed. We have grown to be this amazing communicative couple who overcomes our differences daily, and I have learned patience, organization, and to not be so emotionally and overly dreamy. But while it has taught me so much, I am just exhausted from it.
The work NEVER ends.
If we spend more than a few days apart in different social circles, we have to start the work all over again. We have to re-learn to get back into our modes of communication. Whenever, I find myself needing more "NF" types around or other ENFP's, we end up fighting later. It's like we each our able to dilute our personalities enough to be together, but one thing can throw us off. As rewarding as it is to learn how to make this work, it's really not enough. It's always work, and it's something you have to be conscious of 24/7. Can it work? Probably, but you just have to decide how much you are willing to give, and you have to be straight with yourself to respect and love the ISTJ for who they are. I was disappointed for the first year or two just because I kept hoping my ISTJ would become more "NF" like. As in, I was hoping they'd one day love to go out more and be social, or one day come up with a spontaneous idea, or one day actually become as excited about learning something new as I was. But that never happens with an ISTJ. A leopard just can't change it's spots. So, you have to know that and accept it to be with and ISTJ. If not, you are gonna continually fight and be disappointed over and over. It's appealing, opposites attract, but for me, I just don't think it will work. After this relationship, I will never date an ISTJ again if I can help it. It's just not that ENFP 'dream' kind of love. It's not that dream person who loves you for you and shares your passions or encourages you to take risks and be open-minded and social. I am constantly feeling restricted from my ISTJ, or feel like he constantly wishes I was more organized, less dreamy, more grounded and less desiring to be with people. I am the one who plans all of the fun activities, and then my ISTJ complains the whole time, doubts my plans, and basically bursts my bubble, that is, UNTIL he actually experiences the trip or ENFP adventure. Then, he's thankful, excited, and more appreciative. But I don't like that he doesn't trust my ENFP sense of adventure, I always make the trip fun, but he doubts it time after time. It's like, I understand why he needs me, (to be connected to the world, to introduce interesting topics, social outings, to give him a sense of purpose, etc), but I don't understand why I need him. Yes, the house it clean, yes the bills get paid, yes he does protect and provide stability, but at what cost? For me, the cost of losing the chance at a fun, romantic, spontaneous, feeling-sharing "NF" love is a lot. And that's the bottom line. For others it may be different.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, June 25, 2011 - 11:26 PMWow reading these is like looking in a mirror. I am an ENFP who has been married to an ISTJ for almost 18 years, and depending on what day you catch me on, it's either ok or not. It is still difficult, after all this time. It should be easier. But same things apply; he NEVER has any idea or comes up with anything spontaneous. Left to his own devices, he stays home, does laundry, watches tv and falls asleep on the couch at 9 p.m, which drives me crazy. All of our vacations and outings are conceived, planned and organized by me. But he sucks the fun out of anything spontaneous. He doesn't "see what I get out of staying in a hotel room." He doesn't see the point in spontaneous road trips. He doesn't enjoy taking off to a blues bar, dancing and drinking.
On the other hand, the bills are paid, the house is clean, the garbage gets put out, the toilet gets fixed, he doesn't cheat, he's loyal, he tells the truth every time, and HE SHOWS UP, every time. Unlike a couple of charismatic, spontaneous ESFPs from my past who, as fabulously fun as they were, couldn't be trusted once they were out of sight. I tell people that I finally bought the character and not the charisma. But I still do miss the charisma. Thank God I have ENFP and ESFP girlfriends I can still get wild and crazy with...
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, June 25, 2011 - 11:27 PMOh, and he's a GREAT dad. Trump card. However, I don't know if his ISTF black/white thing will make him a great date for a teenager. To be continued.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Tue, July 12, 2011 - 6:22 PMI have been married to an ISTJ for nearly two years... We fell completely, passionately in love and it felt as though there was nothing either of us could have done - we were both convinced we had to be together. A few years on, that is still there but sometimes it gets a bit buried beneath the quite profound lack of common ground in our personalities! We get on much better when we're alone together than when we're doing social stuff - that seems to really strain our relationship. Also, while things are great when we can relax together, daily life together can be a struggle! I relate to all the problems everyone else has had... I get so frustrated. I plan adventures and then feel as though I'm dragging him along. He complains about my irrationality and chaos, and the way that I fill all our free time with fun things when there is boring stuff to do at home, or we need to save money, or rest. I complain that he doesn't talk to me enough and that he's not curious enough about things. I only know he's an ISTJ because I forced him to answer a questionnaire while he was trying to watch TV - the whole subject made him really grumpy. He's younger than me but so much more grown up (practically speaking). And while he's a brilliant father (we have one child together) he finds it very hard to show love for his stepchildren (I had two already, having rushed into things at an early age!) - although I know he cares for them greatly.
There are certain things - apart from being in love, which is bound to slip out of sight occasionally in a long-term relationship - that I value enormously in him and remind me how lucky I am. One of which is that he is extraordinarily grounded... He is absolutely sure of what he thinks, all the time, and nothing can persuade him to change his mind... Not even me!
Although I am attracted to people with a similar personality type I feel much safer with people who are less easily bored, more consistent and less emotionally volatile. Safe doesn't sound very much fun but I suppose I have experienced how un-fun it is to be hurt.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, August 13, 2011 - 9:23 AMI can relate. The reason he doesn' trust your natural ability to come up with a fun adventure on the fly, is bc ISTJs are the epitome of "has this worked in the past?" and you and I are people who counter that with "somebody had to be the first to think of it, and DO anything, so why not TRY?"
I highly value the "how will you ever know ANYTHING if you never try" and my husband (ISTJ) seems to think "why try, when you might fail"
Maybe its because I don't really believe there is such a thing as failure, only the opportunity to come up with a better stradegy, or quit. I don't even care his opinion about such things anymore. I just say "keep up if you can, because this is what I am going to do with or without you"
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Wed, August 10, 2011 - 4:31 PMMy ex was an ISTJ.We loved each other madly;and when I say madly I mean madly.We meshed well in alot of areas but the deal breaker for me was that he always was so logically trying to pick me apart and put me in a "box".His favorite line was-"That doesn't make sense." It drove me insane.I am an artist and when I would be in the process of bringing a vision to life he would tell me all the problems I might run into.I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket.He had qualities I liked and sometimes his rational side was very appealing but the relationship made me start second guessing myself.I love to take risks and let the cards fall where they may.So in the end we had to go our seperate ways.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Sat, August 13, 2011 - 8:58 AMI have been married to an ISTJ for almost 10 years now. If you can approach the relationship with the understanding that ISTJ is the polar opposite of you and therefore balances you, it can work. The mundane/boring/detail oriented things I detest doing, he doesn't mind doing and is actually good at. He listens and supports every new and crazy idea I have, and i have a new one almost everyday.
Likewise, he NEEDS the fun and excitement I bring to the relationship. I NEED him to talk me out of impulsive decisions without the consideration of consequences.
For a long time and I told him so (naturally) that I felt rejected because I always initiated intimacy. Knowing (now) that ENFPs are much more loving and giving than most other people, my perspective has changed.
Personally, I prefer my friends to be "like me" and my husband to be "opposite me".
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Fri, October 7, 2011 - 9:35 AMI have been dating an ISTJ last year, during about 9 months. He was 1 year younger than me and didn't have a lot of relationships before, and none of them was engaging or active (they did not form a couple). I was very fascinated by him and finally felt in love but I've always kinda felt that I was going out with my worst enemy. Not that he was mean to me. But the way he sees things and judge anything (me included) was unbearable and unfair.
I finally tried to stop the relationship - even if I was emotionally very connected and attached to him -, but it took 2 months and a lot of force of will and "reason" to do it, for both of us.
People say the opposites attract, others that birds of a feather flock together..
Well in this case, the first is very very strong, and I wonder wether it is possible to live a passion with someone that is like us.
Re: Can we as ENFPs survive in a relationship with an ISTJ?Thu, August 8, 2013 - 5:28 PMI think that opposites do attract, yet they are the hardest relationships to maintain. However I think that if you're willing to put in the effort and understanding you can make it work. But this involves a LOT of personal strength and determination, something we're not the best at. Learning to live with an ISTJ means overcoming our fears, our weaknesses and learning to give them their own space and time alone ( all of these are so much more difficult than they sound). I only know this because I've been blessed enough to have a beautiful wife who happens to be an ISTJ ;-). But learning to get along with and love your opposite spreads a light of understanding across the bridges that connect you together.

Born This Way
by Lady Gaga
Video & Audio
It is a long, weird experience, and one that seems to equate being a homosexual with being a unicorn and/or an alien from outer space.
Though her musical performance may have been overshadowed by the fact that she came down the red carpet inside of a giant egg, Lady Gaga was a main attraction at the 53rd Grammy Awards in early 2011.
Al's parody of Gaga might actually be better than Gaga herself, at least as high camp and total absurdity goes. "Got my straight jacket today/It's made of gold lamé/No not because I'm crazy/I was born this way…"
Bean, a black minister and AIDS activist, also spent a while recording for Motown Records in the 1970s. This incredible record was a Billboard Club Play #15 hit, probably due to play on the disco circuit. His discussion of gay rights is a little bit more straightforward than anything coming out of Lady Gaga's mouth.
Is Lady Gaga's song actually a shameless Madonna rip-off? You decide.

"I like to measure everything and come up with something really minimal in its physicality, and just subtly insert that in the space and try to highlight those spaces. And I picked spaces like non-spaces- a corridor, a hallway, a staircase, an entrance. The space that you use to go to your destination- transient, transitional space. I think it's got to do with my experience of coming from a different culture and life as a kind of transient."
- Do-Ho Suh
