I don't have any specific term or the proper idiom to describe these peoples. I've known this people at high school, at college and at my workplace. Sometimes I hang out with them. Not so many of them, but they make a presence, an impact, an inspiration. These people work hard like a bull, work smart like a squirrel and work polite like a noble. From CEO up to low level staff acknowledge them as a brilliant and humble person. I call them outliers.
Let me describe one of this people. He was my collegemate. Super high intelligent person with incredible academic and non academic achievement. Couple of months ago he worked as a consultant at one of big consulting firm. Now he is officially a MBA student at HBS. To his friends, he shows his real character, but when it comes to facing client and workmate as professional, he shows exceptional quality. He is determined to complete an assignment flawlessly both the quality and time. He is smart as well, always seek the best efficient way to complete the assignment so he can have sufficient rest and does his fave thing on the weekend. And when in a meeting or discussion with people, he has a really astonishing structured speech, exceptional English skills and magnificent body language. I might look like exaggerated him, but that is the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts, but this is inspiring. He can feel tired and surfeited, but he knows how to handle it. He is a real pro. He is an outlier.
I look at myself and one of my weakness is I always compare myself to others. I don't have a perfect workplace nor workmate. My working pace is decelerating since I moved from my previous employer. But my business sense is increasing exponentially. I always challenge myself to be an outliers. Work hard, work smart and work polite. Showing determination, effectiveness and quality of work. Work with a limitless energy, without hesitation, but on schedule (since I got no compensation for overtime, why should I work overtime?). We are hungry and foolish, failure is our daily consumption and major source of knowledge. Let's try to be that one!
The last time I published a post was October 2014. It has been 9 months. I went through a lot of things since then, though I haven't met the hardest yet. Let me recap what was happened during this 9 months.
CFA Program Examination. So far this was the most challenging target to be killed. Three hundred hours are the average self-study hours spent by candidates. At first I barely caught up with the curriculum, however thank Allah and support from my family and colleagues, I was able to finish it. The exam result will be announced 2 months later. Whatever the result, I am ready.
Extracurricular. I accepted the offer to be SPA FEUI trainer in Grand Training. Grand Training was significantly improve me when I was an associate. It was so awesome that I was questioning whether I at future (today) can be a trainer of Grand Training. And I just made it true. SPA has given a lot of insight and experience to me, and now it's time for me to give back and share. I delivered assertiveness material so that we know how to react properly, given any unique circumstances. I believe this training will benefit the participants and me myself.
Relationship. I get close to a woman, I don't know if she is fit in my life or whether I fit with her life. But understanding each other require sufficient time and process, right? So l will try to enjoy it. I believe the right partner comes at the right time and the right place. She/he will empower us, so do we empower them. Let's see how far this relationship can be.
I got addicted to use Deezer application. It is similar to Spotify where we can listen to our favorite music anytime and anywhere through the air. I recommend this application for those who want to listen to music, legally. The subscription fee is only IDR 73,000 (it's equal to buy an album in iTunes). It's quite cheap and you can listen anything!
That is what happened on the last 9 months. I will write about something else later, probably about my career plan. Thanks for reading, folks!
There is always a question how does it feel working in PwC Indonesia, one of the global big four public accounting firm and top ideal employer for undergraduate students in Indonesia. I would like to share a piece of my experience when I was working as PwC assurance associate. Though I worked for only a short period, I have experienced the most of associate journey.
In public accounting firm, like any other workplace, has good and bad stories. You can trust me once you overcome the bad stories, you have a multiplier factors for the good one. I can assure you for each risk you take and each miles you took out from your comfort zone, you are worthily compensated. To begin the story, I will start with summary of why a financial auditor and the firm has important role in the business nowadays.
First thing first, what does financial auditor really do?
Simply put, financial auditors are financial statement investigator/inspector. We examine a Company's financial statement to ensure the figures are correct, exists and prepared within the standards. Most of the time, we gather all necessary evidences, prepare audit documentation and review the financial statement report. If you heard that auditor work until late very often and were guessing why, the only reason is because the vast task to be done in a short time. But we understand that we work for public interest, we want to give an assurance of our client's financial statement reliability. Imagine if, say you are an investor or investment banker, you found out that the potential company you are going to acquire or invest manipulates their accounting figures, you are definitely going to lost billion of money. We come to minimize the risk, considering high quality of audit the PwC would like to provide.
Why you should consider working at public accounting firm?
Accounting is a business language. By learning financial statement, you can analyse the competitiveness, the profitability, the efficiency, the strategy, the compliance and the risk of investment. You can easily understand how a company derives their revenue, by which resources, and the interlink between business activities and accounting numbers. As analyst or decision maker, you can tweak the accounting figures for new project feasibility study, scenario analysis, merger and acquisition and performance evaluation.
Being a financial auditor will gives you a full access into a Company. Guaranteed. You have many opportunities to learn about a Company, though your main purpose is only to give an opinion on the financial statement fairness. You will examine how one Company do their business and analyse their performance compared to industry, because you are responsible for every single figures on the financial statements (remember: every single of accounting figures represents a business activities). You can jump from one company in automotive industry, to fast moving consumer goods, plantation company and perhaps service Companies. Once you are graduated from public accounting firm, you have been equipped with strong technical skills of accounting and basic business knowledge. This is a luxury feature of working as financial auditor, compare to start your career at a Company.
The objective:To help me identify what my career purpose and how to achieve it.
The importance: Fail to define the career purpose may results in [a] misdirection of career – lowering the quality of life legacy, [b] being just an average person, and [c] could not inspire and enhance the value of society.
Self discovery. Recall again what is my best interest and find out what career that might suit with my interest and experience.
Determine how to achieve it.
On this session let me recall what I did in the last 6-7 years .
I was a not so brilliant student with more than enough organisational experience. I chose to take science major during my tenure and have strong mathematics, biology and IT subject background. I like to make a mathematical calculation and create something using computer. At that time I've ever considered to continue my education on IT field but I realised I just enjoyed using the IT feature and does not have sufficient talent on the field.
Talking about my extracurricular activities, I was a very active one. I joined 7 committees and 3 organisations as a staff during my first year. Later, I joined 2 committees and 1 organisations as high level management during my second year and I joined only one committee as supervisor during my last year. I transformed myself from a nerd boy to a very active, public oriented, diplomatic, analytic and risk taker student. The most meaningful moment is my second year when I was elected to be first executive VP. I loved to make such strategic management from understanding the students and the schools need, positioning our organisation in the school's ecosystem, define organisation's goal and breakdown it into multiple strategy and executed and evaluated the process. I loved how our discussion was working and results in an innovation and new insight. I was really dedicated my time to achieve my organisation's goal. That year was so hard to face but it was so much rewarding at the end. – (If I am allowed to give an opinion, I don't know why people, especially on post-college work, are really underestimate the experience we had on the high school. No wonder if they never experienced one).
To sum up, from what I experienced on high school, I like to calculate and eager to learn something with hi-technology feature. I also like to prepare a project for both short and strategic one. I love to have a discussion with people, enrich my perspective with other's view and develop a solution.
Considering my interest on performing calculation and management field, I applied to be the student of management and accounting of Universitas Indonesia. I was enrolled as accounting student and have a strong academic background. I am aware of my interest from high school and therefore I took minor concentration on finance management (from corporate, macroeconomics, to international finance) and IT related subject (from information system to IT enterprise management). On average, my grade was mostly contributed from management (marketing to strategic), IT and accounting (both financial and management accounting). This reflects my best interest on performing calculation, business management and IT. In addition I took higher role to become lecturer assistant in financial management, financial accounting and information system lab. I really love to share my knowledge and organise mini lecturing activities with fair and fun process. I am very grateful because I could build my network while doing what I enjoy to do.
For extracurricular activities, I was not as crazy as I used to in high school because I put my focus primarily on my education. I "only" joined 7 committees and 1 organisation during my three and half year. I really enjoyed my non academic activities because I chose to follow my interest (again) on the IT. So I chose to have a college career on the Information Technology and Visual Communication field . Providing well graphic design and organisational website was my "little" masterpiece. Though I only joined 1 organisation, I dedicated my time and expertise and took higher role from associate (at first year) to partner (at second year). Again, I was challenged to provide strategic management that I really love to do. Considering my passion on IT and management, I was awarded "associate of the year" and "most outstanding accounting students" from my organisation and campus. I was really enjoyed my time and learn a lot from my up and down time.
Based on what I've experienced on the college. My best interest is about management and better combine it with either finance, accounting or IT (or all in one if possible). I also enjoy and learn how to share with others and it eventually grew my happiness and increased my life quality.
I could prepare some complex calculation (using formula or framework) and by knowing that it is useful to help others, it makes me happy. I like to perform either finance or accounting calculation.
I like information system and information technology matters.
I am excited with managing or organising thing. I love discussion and listen to different perspective/view . I am eager to learn how to lead others and make an exceptional strategy and execution.
I love to share what I have and am trying to keep humble or low.
After spending time to discover my self, I realise that the most difficult task of this project is actually connecting my interest and talent to the jobs available on the market. I will breakdown the connection on the next post and hopefully I have an option.
Day by day has passed and no change was happened in the last few months. I've just read "Business Model YOU" last week and getting inspired to consider my career plan again. There is nothing wrong with the job. It's just me that could not really engaged with the substance of my compliance job (plus its culture). I keep question myself whether I don't, actually, like to work hard like hell or this kind of job is no longer drive my enthusiasm.
Two things I like about my current job are the applied accounting practices and my relationship with the Client. Expectation and pressure is always there in everywhere I work (so I don't really mind about that). However when talking about long term career and self actualization, I don't think this is the only way to achieve what I really want. The book told me that I need to ask again about "who am I?" and "what is my career purpose?". They said self discoveries take time but worth to try for better career planning. I've thought about it for more than one month.
I do not want to be a pure accountant or book keeper (or the manager of accountant and book keeper). I want to provide more value, give the very best of me. I want to make an impact, make people satisfied with my work (though I know I could not please everyone) and hopefully my masterpiece would last forever. But I am not really sure changing my field (accounting and finance) is the solution. So I try to find and draw the connection between my lifetime objective, my career and my education and see how many options I have.
This is a new project for my self. I am the client, I am the consultant. I need to gather all the information I need and start a rigorous analysis. You may follow the project development on "project category".
It only took a minute for me today to realize that time has passed. I mean it was already one year after my college graduation and yet I am still thinking about what or who I really want to be. Such a random thought crossed my mind.
They called this "passion". Learned from reference.com, passion is such emotional feeling toward something which drives our enthusiasm or even sexual desire. Many said that passion is highly related with how a person work and express their feeling. When we have a passion on the music, we'll put our best effort and creativity to create a song even though it will take day and night. But if we does not have that "passion", the enthusiasm is just a blink, fake and vague. It drives us initially but will disappear afterwards. Creating a miserable feeling.
Passion is my concern in the last couple of months because I have entered the second year of my work-life. Not many opportunities are available outside for not-that-young-talent. I am looking for something that drives the very best of me. To create such rich value through never ending learning and patience. To see how satisfied people are when they get the best from mine. I've just failed to grab one opportunity recently and it's not easy to accept. Doesn't mean I could not accept failure but I could not accept to stay longer in the place I work now without defining what my passion is.
When will the chance be available for me to shape the community, to make a better world like MJ's message, and to accomplish my life purpose as His servant? Should I create the chance like opening a new business? Please guide me, my God.


If the notion doesn't disgust you to hear, let me say it: I loved him.
Otto Haddon was a member of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn at the end of the 19th century. Some time later Albert Caldecott joined the Order and met him, and they fell in love.
Otto was a magician of great knowledge, and Albert followed him to Paris, France, becoming a great helper to him until he created a homunculus, a demonic servant. However, Otto had quite an affection for laudanum, wich weakened his will, and the demon possessed Otto, eating his soul.
Then in Otto's form the demon travelled the country committing acts of murderous depravity, and then it returns to Albert because he was there at its summoning; Albert was linked to it somehow, and he was forced to do things he'd rather not speak of.
After trundling the entire population of St. Dubris, France, Otto returned to Paris to meet Albert, but instead of him he meets Albert's grandfather, Richard Swift (The Shade), who intended to kill him and/or send him back to Hell, but the demon appeared from within Otto and confronted him, being killed during the fight.
Magic: Otto was a magician of great knowledge.
Thermal-Blast: In demon's form, he can spit fire from the mouth.
Possession: In demon's form, he can possess the body of the summoner.
Drug Addiction: Otto had quite an affection for laudanum, wich weakened his will.

Home » Category: "What the Manolo Is…" (Page 4)
Burberry, Platforms, Sandals, What the Manolo Is...
Burberry Tonal Check Perspex Sandals…Um…Wha?
Manolo says, behold! Beautiful and unusual platform sandals from Burberry in the handsome dark nickel color, but that name? What does it mean? Tonal…Check…Perspex?
It sounds less like something you would wear on your feets and more like the DARPA super secret squirrel project.
What the Manolo Is...
What the Manolo is…
Manolo says, one of the Manolo's internet friends has the request of the Manolo.
I am the Mary (well, not The Mary, but the Mary around here). I agree with you about Crocs, and you have done the Lord's work there, and I appreciate your references to your affiliated blogs. I am a big fan of the Manolo.
What I miss are the Tuesday updates on what the Manolo reads, watches and hears. I have enjoyed many tips from these postings. I understand if it is too much work for the Manolo to be able to make these recommendations on a weekly basis, but I would appreciate semimonthly or even monthly reports.
Will you consider resuming them?
Your email friend,
Ayyyy! Such kind words for the humble shoeblogger. How can the Manolo possibly reject this request, not when it is so wonderfully asked, and certainly not when, within days of the Mary's message, this letter arrived from another of the Manolo's internet friends.
Hi Manolo,
It's weird how I ended up reading your blog, think I was googling for a pair of Louboutins, but anyhow, I read a movie review you did where you mentioned the book The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker, I checked it out and it is a completely amazing book. Wanted to say thanks for alerting the public to a great piece of reading :)
The super fantastic Tiffany has makes reference to one of the Manolo's Tuesday "What the Manolo is…" in which the Manolo discussed the movie Annie Hall.
And, now, in honor of Mary and Tiffany, the Manolo announces that it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
The Manolo makes no secret of his admiration for the thespianic abilites of Robert Downey, Jr, and in this new Sherlock Holmes movie the Manolo is happy to report that he has not been disappointed in the least. Robert Downey, Jr. is excellent as Sherlock Holmes, unexpectedly excellent, wonderfully excellent.
Likewise, this is the first movie in which Jude Law's more meager talents have been perfectly exploited. (Jude Law as the lead actor? Do not want. Jude Law as the elevated supporting actor. Yes, please.) He is the fine Dr. Watson, and as good as he's ever been.
"But, Manolo," you are perhaps saying to yourself, "what about Guy Ritchie's transformation of Sherlock Holmes from the gray cerebral being (a la Jeremy Brett) into the bareknuckled Mr. Action Man? Does this not bother you?"
To which the Manolo replies, "Not in the least."
Indeed, not only was the Manolo thoroughly entertained by the new slam-bang version of Sherlock Holmes, moreover he considers this to be Guy Ritchie's greatest movie ever, well-crafted and briskly paced, and completely devoid of any touch of Madonna.
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…
If you have not read this book, How I Became The Famous Novelist, you are missing out on the remarkably funny thing.
The Manolo has come to the conclusion that it is impossible to make the fully satisfying cinematic adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. Indeed, only the person who had never read the novel Persuasion could be content with the latest filmic version, staring the Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones.
Yes, there were portions of the production that were amusing, but the final fifteen minutes, which showed the Anne Elliot racing about Bath like the Sarah-Connor-style action heroine, were especially absurd. Likewise, the Manolo was annoyed by the frustratingly slow kiss which sealed the relationship between Anne and Captain Wentworth.
This is not how people in love behave, not even those who are fearfully constrained by the formal customs of their age. The Manolo calls these sort of cinematic scenarios "phoney-baloney movie love," because they are more about the filmmakers wrongheaded notions of how lovers should behave, and are not drawn from life.
Perhaps the problem for the Manolo is that the works of Jane Austen live fully in his mind in ways that cannot be improved upon by the movie adaptation. And while there have been valiant attempts at translation to the screen, ultimately, they have all fallen short.
One of the more surprising and pleasurable thing about living in Argentina is the incredible number movies that are shown on the television here in Buenos Aires, dozens each night spread over several different cable channels. Most of these films are the usual Hollywood movies, both recent and classic, shown most often in the original English with the subtitles (although movies dubbed into Argentine Spanish are common enough).
However, also spread among the products of Hollywood are the goodly number of French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Italian films, and occasionally, you will see things that are totally unexpected, such as movies from Usbekistan or Hungary (when was the last time you thought of the words "Hungary" and "movies" without also thinking "Gabor"?) shown in their original langues with the Spanish subtitles.
In all, it is most amusing.
The Manolo is now completely smitten with the Argentine pop genius that is Hilda Lizarazu. She has that wonderful quality of defiant vulnerability and intelligence that the Manolo associates with the best of Chrissie Hynde. And her voice, it is so beguiling.
But, judge for yourself…
Manolo says, it is Tuesday in Buenos Aires, time to see what the Manolo is…
The Manolo has been in Buenos Aires for the little bit less than one week, and already he is in love with this place. It is spring here, and the trees on the street outside of the Manolo's apartment are putting out the leaves. It is perfectly pleasant.
As for the shoes, the Manolo is most happy to report that the Crocs are nowhere to be found! Finally, the Manolo has escaped this pestilence!
In the Manolo's upper middle class neighborhood, the ladies favor the practical, comfortable shoes, which given the sometimes lamentable condition of the sidewalks, is forgivable. For the young girls, the tall flat boots are seen everywhere. While, it is still cool enough that the sandals have not yet appeared.
Cinema, What the Manolo Is...
The Manolo finally managed to see the Sex and the City movie.
His reaction: In the word, meh.
Although supposedly set in the present day, the movie seemed dated, as if it were the daguerreotype from the previous millennium, quaintly hinting at the outdated customs and obsolete mores of the distant past.
On the one of the hands, Carrie and her pals were sweeter and more vulnerable, more desperately romantic, than we have ever before seen them (although less funny). They were also more likable than ever, except for Cynthia Nixon, who should be dropped down the long mine shaft and left there until she realizes how truly blessed her cinematic life (with its great job, wonderful child, and good-looking if drippy man) is.
The girls were also, despite the smutty talk and Kim Cantrell's absurdly sexualized character, entirely monogamous in their relationships, which was something of the relief to the old man Manolo, who believes that intense monogamous love between two peoples is perhaps the greatest of the Almighty's gifts.
Yet, while there were good things, on the other of the hands, the movie dragged on interminably, piling up senseless subplots and meaningless details. Yawn.
Worse, the movie's attempts at bringing the romantic longings of the characters (and the audience) to fruition were misguided and inadequate. Shaped as the semi-conventional romantic comedy, Sex and the City contained little that could be considered romantic.
Take for the example, Mr. Big, held up by the movie as the choicest piece of man meat to ever tread the earth, with his dyed hair, droopy jowls, shaped eyebrows, and his indecisive, dreary, somnambulantly sulky ways. At least he was rich, moderately available, tall, and rich (did the Manolo mention that he was rich? It was very important in this movie, the richiosity of Mr. Big, because it means he was able to buy Park Avenue apartments and fill their commodious closets with swag.)
Query: What is less romantic than the vacillating, indecisive, weakly lover?
Answer: The movie that confuses wealth for romantic desirability.
Oh, how the Manolo wishes he could have swapped Chris Noth for Tom Selleck!
Tom Selleck: charming, virile, decisive, funny, cheerful, and at 63, still the hunkiest man in Hollywood!
Chris Noth in Sex and the City: drippy!
But, you must play the hand you were dealt, and Mr. Big is apparently the only man who would have Carrie Bradshaw, looking, as she does, ever more like Miss Havisham…
Ayyyyy!
I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress, and like the flowers, and had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken eyes. I saw that the dress had been put upon the rounded figure of a young woman, and that the figure upon which it now hung loose, had shrunk to skin and bone. Once, I had been taken to see some ghastly waxwork at the Fair, representing I know not what impossible personage lying in state. Once, I had been taken to one of our old marsh churches to see a skeleton in the ashes of a rich dress, that had been dug out of a vault under the church pavement. Now waxwork and skeleton seemed to have dark eyes that moved and looked at me. I should have cried out, if I could.
~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations.
And frankly this is another of the problems of the movie. attempting to sell us lean mutton as plump lamb.
This is not to say that romantic comedies that feature middle aged persons cannot be good, and satisfying, and funny, only that Carrie wanted to play the part of the virginal ingenue, rather than the mature woman with the frightening romantic history. The potential for humor and romanticism was undermined by this insistence.
But, the Manolo is confident that the actor of Tom Selleck's caliber could have convinced even the most skeptical, disbelieving audience that Sarah Jessica Parker is the hotty, could have convinced us that she is the suitable lead for the romantic comedy.
Ultimately, for the Manolo, the only romantic scene in the entire movie was the wedding at the courthouse, with Carrie in the demure suit, and Mr. Big finally wakened from his movie-long slumber. But, if Sex and the City were truly romantic, that would have happened in the first act of the fifteen minute long, single reel film, which would be followed by the feature length Tom and Jerry cartoon.
The Manolo has this past week rediscovered and become completely absorbed and enthralled with the music of Tom Waits. Perhaps it is because the Manolo was too young the first time around to fully appreciate it, but he has found unexpected depth and poignancy in these songs.
Listening to..
Until this past weekend, when the Manolo saw the new Tropic Thunder movie, The Manolo had nearly given up on Ben Stiller. His act, once so sharp and funny, had grown stale and repetitive, and almost unbearably lazy with throw away movies such as Dodgeball.
But, with this new movie he has redeemed himself, for it is one of the funniest and sharpest movies the Manolo has seen in many months, indeed, it is the work of near genius.
Of the course, Tropic Thuner is not the movie for the faint of heart, but those who can tolerate cruel and intensely sardonic humor will be well rewarded. Both Ben Stiller and Jack Black are exceedingly good, and Robert Downey, Jr. gives what is undoubtedly one of the most confoundingly brilliant and funny performances the Manolo has ever seen. And even with that, the entire movie is stolen by (of all peoples) Tom Cruise(!), who gives what is the most exceptional and unhinged performance of his career, one that has honestly caused the Manolo to reassess his opinion of him.
So, if you are the person who loves the comedic acting, you must go see this movie forthwith.
The workings of the human mind are truly the mystery, no?
For several days now two songs have been playing continuously–round, round, baby, right round–in the Manolo's mind. The first is the marvelously hummable "The Brotherhood of Man," from the the quintessential 1960's workplace musical comedy, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
The second is, inexplicably, the opening few chords from Dolly Parton's "Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That.".
The mysterious brain part is that, as far as the Manolo knows, he has not heard either of these songs in the past few weeks, and yet there they are, on the continual reply loop in his head. And so, the Manolo has decided that the best therapy is to see the movie and listen to the Dolly, not exactly the onerous tasks.
P.S. When the Manolo hears "Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That," in his head, these are NOT the mental images that accompany it…
The Manolo can watch Fellini's Roma again and again, if only to see this amazingly surreal and amusing scene again and again…

1963-64 Topps Hockey Set Sported Horizontal Look
December 12, 2018 By Bob D'Angelo
Topps continued its pattern of a 66-card set for its 1963-64 hockey set. Like the previous year, the set was split among the Boston Br uins, Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers as Parkhurst took care of the Leafs, Canadiens and Red Wings. It would be the last year for the split with Parkhurst exiting the hockey card market before the following season. And again, the "Topps" set was distributed in Canada and produced by O-Pee-Chee.
While it's short on notable rookies, the 1963-64 set is notable for the 14 future Hall of Famers that are inside. Interestingly, only one American-born player is featured in the set.
1963-64 Topps Hockey Basics
The 66 cards in the set were broken down by teams, just like the previous year. The Bruins were featured in card Nos. 1-21, the Blackhawks held down Nos. 22-43, and the Rangers were highlighted in cards 44 to 65. Card No. 66 was a checklist. Head coaches were included for all three teams.
Unlike the 1962-63 set, the layout of the cards was horizontal for the first time, with a black and white action photo on one side and the player's photo on the other. A solid-colored drawing of a hockey stick separated that picture from the smaller black-and-white action photo. The "blade" of the hockey stick contained the name of the player and his team.
Who's That Guy?
The quirky part of the black-and-white photos is that only one of them — Glenn Hall (No. 23) — actually matches the players depicted in color. In fact, Topps featured several players from the Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Canadiens in the black-and-white section, even though Parkhurst held the license to produces images from both teams.
Topps used a black-and-white shot of Detroit legend Gordie Howe on the cards of Reg Fleming (No. 31) and Phil Goyette (No. 58), and one of Howe's teammate, Terry Sawchuk, on the card of Leo Boivin (No. 5). Legendary goalie Lorne "Gump" Worsley appears in seven black-and-white shots, even though he had been traded to the Canadiens in June 1963 in a deal that brought Jacques Plante to New York. Plante would make his Topps debut in the 1963-64 set.
Topps reverted to white borders for the card fronts after using blue borders for the 1962-63 set.
The card backs were printed in blue and gray on white card stock. The top of the card features the player's name, position and team. Underneath that was a single line of statistics from the 1962-63 season. A biography in English follows on the left-hand side of the card, with a French version underneath. The right side of the card contained a scratch-off trivia question.
Rookies and Stars
Notable rookies in the set included Ed Johnston (card No. 2), Ed Westf all (No. 8) and Gilles Villemure (No. 46).
The Chicago Blackhawks duo of Bobby Hull (No. 33) and Stan Mikita (No. 36) highlight the set's most coveted cards, along with Plante (No. 45) and the set checklist (No. 66).
Grading and Prices
There have been 8,231 1963-64 Topps hockey cards graded by PSA, but only 17 have come back as gem mint. The highest grades for Hull, Mikita and Plante are PSA 9. Only one checklist has been submitted for grading, and it came back PSA 7. The one PSA 10 card of Johnston sold for $1,195 in 2014.
One of the tougher cards to find in high condition is that of Rangers coach George "Red" Sullivan. Only two of the 103 cards submitted grade as high as PSA 8.
SGC has graded 792 cards from the set, and none have been given gem mint status. Only 19 grade as high as 96 and 40 are at 92.
Complete 1963-64 Topps hockey card sets generally sell for $500-$1,500 depending on condition but the top-rated set on the PSA Set Registry sold for $12,030 through Mile High Card Company in 2012. It carried an 8.434 GPA.

Throughout the stressful/horrible/exciting/scary college application process, I have learned so many things. The majority of your life will be about choices. No, not your order from Chipotle. You have to choose what you want to do for the rest of your life. You have to choose where you're going to learn about it. And then you have to find a place to get your experience. Then, repeat that process as needed.
The pressure feels like all too much for a 17-year old, with very little life experience and 4,000+ colleges in the US to choose from.
One thing that I've realized (and am still trying to remind myself) is that grades in high school are not everything. As an "average" student earning a 3.5 grade point average, I used to beat myself up for not having a 4.0. My best friends, all National Honor Society students, have AP/Honors courses flooding their transcripts. Here's the thing, though: just because I'm not like them, doesn't mean I'm not smart.
From the minute I started thinking about college, I was given advice left and right, whether I asked for it or not. And every adult's two-cents consisted of the same thing: Go to the best college you can.
A horribly common misconception is that schools with low acceptance rates are "the best". Just because not many people can go there, doesn't mean you have to. There is so much more to knowledge than memorization and regurgitation (which is what high school basically is). College is supposed to enhance your knowledge and prepare you for the next phase of your life.
As a high school senior, I may be one of the few that doesn't have a "reach" school. At first, I had quite a few. I thought that future employers would want to see a diploma from a more selective school, rather than one from a place where I would truly thrive.
When I went for my interview at one of these schools, I was immediately told to retake my standardized tests, which makes sense. If I wanted to go there on scholarship, I'd need to fit the standards from which they judge their applicants. And I could have. I'm by no means lazy or one to just coast. But I had taken tutoring and practiced for what seemed like forever for the SATs and ACTs. My scores reflect my knowledge of the subject matter. Anyone can get a 2000 if they put countless hours and hundreds of dollars into it.
I'm going to attend a school that wants me as I am. I refuse to be stressed out because I'm barely passing classes. I don't want to have to compete. I want to be able to be me, to feel at home, and to be calm. I want to feel like I'm thriving.
A study done by usnews.com states that only 0.4% of undergraduate students attend Ivy League schools. No disrespect intended, but there's so much more out there. Why limit yourself?
For me, an Ivy League school wouldn't be my place. I don't have that cutthroat, competitive attitude one needs to attend a school like that. And I'm okay with that.
For some people, an Ivy League school is where they belong. And that's amazing, you know? You do you. But I constantly get the feeling that people attend these prestigious schools just because they can, regardless of whether it's right for them or not.
When I choose my college, I'm going to make sure it can present me with opportunity and surround me with people who want to see me succeed. It's better to be in an environment in which you can stand out and feel confident, rather than a place where everyone's applications look the same. If you love where you are, you'll learn and be happier. Stress doesn't cultivate learning. Comfort does.

Ron Bland: Desire for safer world is commendable but focus should be on people, not their tools
Opinion | August 14, 2019
By Ron Bland | For the Tribune
Ron Bland
RonBland
I read the article written by Nina Shelanski in the Aug. 7 edition of the Tribune.
I applaud Ms. Shelanski in her concern to make the world a safer place. Many of us share her concerns.
There are a couple of areas where I believe Ms. Shenanski was not totally correct. She makes a statement that she can't buy a beer but she can buy a weapon similar to the Tavor X95 Assault Rifle as used by the elite combat units of the Israeli Defense Units.
I believe what Ms. Shenanski was driving at was at her age, under 21, she isn't legally able to purchase beer in Colorado, but she could purchase a rifle or shotgun. While this is true, the firearm she refers to, fully automatic, cannot be purchased by anyone of any age without jumping through many hoops and paying a stiff fee for a special license controlled by the National Firearms Act which was established in 1934.
Ms. Shenanski's article leans toward the problem being firearms. Firearms have been around for hundreds of years. I personally grew up in an era where we even had firearms in the schools. There were no laws regarding who could possess a firearm and a common "gift" to a young man was his first firearm. There were no mass shootings in schools, malls or elsewhere, yet there was an abundance of guns.
This post is a column. To share your opinion, send a letter of not more than 300 words to letters@greeleytribune.com. Be sure to include your name, hometown and phone number. The Tribune will not publish your phone number but it's useful if we have questions.
Ms. Shenanski's bio on her article indicates she does participate in shooting sports. It states she shoots skeet, which is a shotgun sport.
If one actually does research on incidents involving firearms, shotguns are used in as many if not more of these incidents as the so called assault rifle.
I only point this out because Ms. Shenanski also made the statement that until we love our children more than we love our guns the problem will not go away. This would indicate to me she is in favor of total confiscation of guns, including her own, as the only deterrent to the problem.
Please accept that I am not picking on Ms. Shenanski, rather her article touched a cord with me. I agree with her, something needs to be done. I however, disagree gun laws will ever stop this problem.
Her bio mentions the 2012 movie theater shooting. The individual who perpetrated that horrific crime was a very disturbed individual with a history of mental issues, psychotropic medication, and notes on how he would like to kill.
The firearms, ammunition and all else he used for the crime were legal. Had he not been able to procure firearms do you think that would have prevented the end result?
Look at his apartment. He had it rigged up to explode and kill more at that location. The firearms, bombs, etc. are only tools. The core problem is the evil in the hearts of those who commit these acts of violence.
More gun laws only punish good law abiding citizens. In my opinion mental health needs to be part of the equation, but then how is that regulated so well-meaning individuals who may have temporary issues due to depression or PTSD are protected from having that incident follow them the rest of their lives?
As I said in the beginning, I applaud Ms. Shenanski for her concern and speaking out. Hopefully she will continue to seek solutions that will help alleviate the issues she is passionate about, but let's all focus on the core issue, which is the person committing these acts, and not only the tools used.

'I'm just so sick of this whole housing situation'
Sylvia Skoruch is a University of Waterloo student who says she was forced out of her lease when the building owner claimed to need to do renovations on her unit. She later learned the unit was rented to someone else. - Mathew McCarthy,Waterloo Region Record
WATERLOO — The University of Waterloo's undergraduate student association voted to create a subcommittee to investigate the "student housing crisis" and look into a class-action lawsuit against negligent landlords and property companies offering substandard housing.
Fourth-year UW student Sylvia Skoruch attended the student union meeting Sunday to tell the association how she was left without housing just days before school started.
The 21-year-old French major is commuting from her Mississauga home, leaving her house at 5:45 a.m. to attend an 8:30 a.m. class.
She had a lease signed and was ready to move into a penthouse apartment when she was called by the property company who told her the unit was no longer available due to safety reasons.
"They forced me to cancel my lease," she told the association meeting. She later found out the apartment was renovated and someone else is living there.
"I'm just so sick of this whole housing situation," said Skoruch in an interview after the meeting.
"All I want is a comfy room to live in and receive my education," she said. "Is that too much to ask for?"
Skoruch took her beef to Facebook, creating a page describing housing troubles. She has been inundated with similar stories from other students who say they are sleeping in the student life centre, others in cars and taking showers in public washrooms.
Skoruch's story comes at the same time as student hackers scraped more than 6,000 maintenance requests and leaked them to Reddit last week, pointing to alleged poor housing conditions.
Issues included mould, plumbing and heating problems, vermin, and malfunctioning smoke or carbon monoxide detectors.
The maintenance requests came from eight buildings where most of the tenants are university students.
The hackers, who said they redacted personal sensitive data, claimed many of the complaints took weeks or even months to resolve.
Accommod8u confirmed the data leak to the Record. Waterloo Regional Police are investigating.
Seneca Velling, vice-president of operations and finance for the student union, said he in no way condones a data breach or hackers giving out private data but the leaked information revealed "some very poignant truths."
"The students feel powerless," he said in an interview. "These are persistent issues that go unaddressed."
Velling said students often don't know where to turn when facing unsafe living conditions.
The union can offer legal advice to students trying to cope with substandard housing, he said.
"It (housing complaints) resonates with what we have been hearing for five to 10 years," Velling said.
Union member Jason Small said it's "despicable" that lingering housing issues continue to plague students.
"We should be doing more to raise the issue so it can be resolved," he said.
Skoruch said she would like to see temporary emergency housing for students who need a place to stay.
Council member Tristan Fassel said the housing crisis is a systemic issue across the region.
Fassel, a second-year social work student at Renison University College, suggested students, who account for a large population in the area, should voice their concerns about landlord negligence.
We need to "use our people power to firmly put pressure to get the conditions we need to live in," he said.

At a Churchill Club event in Santa Clara, Calif., Bill Joy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, explains how his company came up with 26 "grand challenge areas"--areas where the company, along with Al Gore and his staff, can make the biggest impact on the environment.
