Direct Access II
Note: To access the self service system, you must have received your first retired pay slip.
Because you are a new retiree, there is nothing available to view on the system until the pay has been processed.
The most convenient way to view your Retiree/Annuitant Payslip and manage your account is through Global Pay Self Service, our online account management system. Global Pay Self Service provides faster service, security, accessibility and reliability to all PPC (RAS) customers worldwide.
The following guides and video demos will help familiarize you with software applications in Global Pay Self Service:
If you're new to Global Pay Self Service here's how to get started:
Download and read the First Time Logon Guide for Retired Pay guide. It will provide you with the information you need to logon and setup your self service account. After reading the guide you will know that:
If you've already setup your account per the instructions above but you've forgotten your password just follow these steps to reset it:
Note: If your account is not setup, an error message will display. You will need to contact PPC (ras) and request a new password. Call 1-800-772-8724 to speak to a Customer Service Representative.
Note: If the e-mail address associated with your account is no longer valid or if you have forgotten the answer to your security question, you will need to contact PPC (ras) and request a new password. Call 1-800-772-8724 to speak to a Customer Service Representative.
If you have trouble, call PPC (ras) at 1-800-772-8724 to speak to a Customer Service Representative.
NEW SELF SERVICE FUNCTIONALITY - February 2013
Effective 21 February 2013, retirees have the ability to update their federal or state tax information in Direct Access II/Retired Pay Self-Service.
Note: You will not be allowed to change your state of residence to a state that doesn't have an agreement with the Coast Guard to withhold state taxes.
For detailed procedures on using the Self Service application, please refer to this guide .
Effective July 2, 2012, the Global Pay Self Service application will allow retirees to review their final pay beneficiary designations.
After logging into the Self Service application, just click the "View My Final Pay Beneficiary" link and it will take you to a screen showing who PPC has on file for your final pay beneficiary(ies). If the person(s) listed are not who you want to receive your final retired pay, you'll need to fill out a new Form CG-3600 (Designation of Beneficiary for Payment of Unpaid Retired Pay) and submit the Form to PPC (RAS). PPC (RAS) will update the beneficiary information in the database, and then within the next two months you should see your beneficiary information updated.
This functionality is only applicable to retirees. If an annuitant dies and there are arrears due, distribution of the arrears will be made pursuant to the order of precedence listed in the next paragraph. (Normally, there are no annuity arrears due because annuities are not pro-rated for the month of death, i.e., entitlement to an annuity stops as of the last day of the month prior to the annuitant's death.)
If a retiree does not designate a final pay beneficiary in writing, under the law (10 USC 2771), unpaid retired pay is paid in the following order of precedence:
Please remember that final pay designations are separate from SBP annuity designations. Your Pay Slip provides you with information on what type of SBP coverage you have, along with the associated monthly premium and projected monthly SBP annuity amount.
NEW SELF SERVICE FUNCTIONALITY - OCTOBER 2011Beginning as soon as October 5, 2011, retirees will have the capability to start, change, or stop allotments (called "voluntary deductions" in the Global Pay system). After logging into the Self Service application, just click the "My Voluntary Deductions" link and it will take you to a screen for entering your changes. Please be sure to save your changes before leaving the page.
This functionality is only available to retirees; annuitants and other payees cannot add or change voluntary deductions.
Voluntary deductions you can start, stop, or change using Self Service are the following:
|Allotment Purpose
|Personal Savings Account
|Limit of 2 savings allotments. The account must be separate from the account where your Net Pay is sent. Cannot be sent via foreign wire payment.
|Treasury Direct Account
|Limit of 1. Used for purchasing Treasury securities. (Replaced "Bond" allotments")
|Support of Dependents
|Home Loan / Mortgage / Rent
|Loan payments must be for home used as a residence by the retiree, spouse, or dependent
|Commercial Insurance
|Navy Mutual Aid Insurance
|Limit of 1
|CG Mutual Assistance Donation
|Limit of 1
|Chief Petty Officer Association
|Limit of 1
|Warrant Officer Association
|Limit of 1
|CG Academy Alumni Association
|Limit of 1
For detailed procedures on using the Self Service application, please refer to this guide .
More Self Service functionality will be coming in the future, to include:
Updating your email address and setting Pay Slip mailing options
The Retiree and Annuitant Self Service application is being expanded in October 2010 to allow you to:
To update your Email address(es), on the Self-Service content page, click the "View/Change My Email Address" link. You will then receive the following screen. Enter your Email information. If you choose to list more than one Email address, you must select one as a primary address. Please be sure to Save before leaving the page.
To opt out of receiving mailed Pay Slips, on the Self-Service content page, click the "Change My Delivery Options" link. When the following screen appears, uncheck the box next to "I elect to receive my Pay Slip by mail". Please be sure to Save before leaving the page.
Customers now have the capability to make the following changes through the Self Service application:
PPC plans to add the following functionality to the Self Service application in the future:
Direct Deposit
In July 2010, we are implementing the next phase of Self Service. This phase gives you the ability to update Direct Deposit for your Net Pay.
Under the July 2010 release, you will not be able to:
In April 2008, the Coast Guard implemented a new automated system for paying Coast Guard and NOAA retirees, annuitants and FSPAs. This system, known as Direct Access II, uses PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Pay, a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software product. As an internet-based system, customers have the capability to use their home computers to retrieve information and manage aspects of their pay. This is called Self Service. All Self Service transactions are secure and encrypted.
Over the next year, we will be rolling out Self Service in phases. Self Service is when customers have the capability to use their personal computers to retrieve information and manage aspects of their pay. The first phase, released January 2010, allows you will to view and print your Pay Slips and IRS Forms 1099R.
The following reference guides and presentations will help familiarize you with software applications in Phase I of the self service implementation:
Please see the April 2010 issue of the Retiree Newsletter for more information on these self service applications added in April.
After more than two years of hard work by our developers and RAS staff, the new retired pay system went live effective April 1. Your May 1 pay was delivered from the new Global Pay (Retired) System. Every retiree and survivor annuitant was sent a payslip about May 1 with their employee ID (EMPLID) which will replace the SSN for most routine transactions. Retirees with FSPA deductions will see a change in their pay and federal tax withholding which will be explained in greater detail on your May 1 payslip. Down the road, we will be implementing additional functionality for our customers including self-service transactions, look for more updates on this web page.
Payslips are generated and mailed out whenever a retiree's, annuitant's, or FSPA's:
We've created this guide to help explain the format of the new payslip:
Q. What is an Employee ID and why do I need it?
A. The Employee ID is the number we use to identify each retiree/annuitant. You will use it instead of your social security number when requesting changes be made to your pay. It is also your user name for accessing Global Pay self-service.
Q. Why is my VA amount the same as my CRDP or gross pay?
A. There may be instances where a retiree's VA compensation (offset) can be greater than the retiree's net pay compensation or greater than retiree's pay compensation plus their CRDP/CRSC entitlement. In these situations, Direct Access II/Global Pay does not show the whole VA compensation amount. It only shows the amount that will zero out the retiree's retired pay compensation. If we include the full amount of VA compensation in these situations, the member's net pay would have a negative number, which is an invalid condition.
Q. Why is my net pay amount more on my pay slip than what is deposited in my financial institution?
A. The net pay amount is the accumulative total of your actual net pay and any savings allotments you have going out. If you have a savings allotment, on the Pay Statement, to the right of YOUR NET PAY, you will see two lines: one shows the amount deposited into your savings account; the other shows the amount deposited to your primary bank account (or mailed to you if you are not on direct deposit).

16 Warm-Weather Cocktail Recipes
In Brazil, it's nearly impossible to avoid eating churrasco, the country's version of grilled meat, which is cooked over hot coals. In restaurants (or churrascaria), it is generally served by waiters bringing a spit or large skewer of meat directly to the table. Servers will come back again and again with different meats and cuts, piling diners' plates high until they've had their fill. Any kind of meat — from beef to chicken to goat — can be cooked in this fashion. Though it's now served in nice steakhouses, its history is much less luxurious. Churrasco started with the region's gauchos, or cowboys, who were constantly roaming from place to place and had no way to preserve meat after killing an animal. To avoid wasting the meat, they would cook huge portions of it immediately over a wood fire. Today, you'll occasionally see a modern update — sometimes a grill grate is placed between the coals and the ingredients — but each way results in tender, juicy grilled meat.
Make It: Churrasco-Style Recipes
Japan has one of the great food cultures of the world, and grilled foods are certainly a big part of that. Yakitori most commonly refers to skewered grilled chicken or chicken parts, but can also be used to refer to other skewered grilled foods. Although the official term for non-poultry items cooked in this fashion is kushiyaki, the two terms are often used interchangeably. These deliciously charred, grilled bites of food are often served as bar snacks, and anyone ordering yakitori has the choice of asking for it simply grilled with salt (shio) or with the popular tare sauce — a combination of mirin (rice wine), sake, salty soy sauce, and a hint of sugar, which helps the ingredients caramelize beautifully on a hot grill.

Here's how to jig your way to more trout
Here in California, trout are one of our favorite game fish. They have a wide distribution and often are free strikers. They'll inhale baits, lures and flies with equal zeal.
But what about the times when the bite is off?
About a decade ago, I stumbled onto a lure that often draws strikes from fickle trout when nothing else will. I'm talking about 1- to 2½-inch tube jigs that weigh from 1/8 to 1/32 of an ounce. These tiny tubes are intended for pan fish, but I've found them to be dynamite when targeting trout that require a subtle presentation.
When fishing lakes, I either cast and retrieve tube jigs on a light-action seven-foot spinning rig spooled with four-pound test line, or I team the jigs with a slip bobber for a super stealthy vertical presentation.
When casting and retrieving jigs without a slip bobber, I like to work around areas of shoreline structure, such as rocky drop-offs and fallen trees. Typically, I cast the lure and count it down a few feet before I begin the retrieve.
One key when retrieving a jig is not to overpower the lure. Give the lure a couple of light twitches, wait a few seconds and then twitch it a bit more. Most strikes occur as the jig sinks, so it pays to keep an eye on the line and set the hook if you see the line move in an unnatural way.
When teaming tube jigs with a slip bobber, you'll want to adjust your bobber stop such that the lure will come to a rest at the depth which you suspect the trout are cruising. This can vary from five to 50 feet, depending on the time of year and water temperature. When working deeper than 15 feet, you'll need to add extra weight to the rig in the form of slip shot from 16 to 24 inches above the jig to get the rig down.
Working a jig beneath a slip bobber is simple. You should start by dead-sticking the bait without adding any action. If that approach fails to produce, start giving the jig some subtle movement by wiggling the tip of your rod on a semi-tight line. If this doesn't produce, you can get more aggressive by slowly reeling the jig upward several feet before lowering it to its original depth on a semi-tight line.
In terms of color selection, I like to go with natural minnow imitating colors first, and if those fail to attract trout, I'll deploy the bright-colored stuff.

It says something about the screwed-up way this country perceives sport - we could end up getting substantially more money by being bundled in with a sport that gets far fewer viewers.
"We" won't get any more money, this is only about the sponsorship of Sky's programmes, so all the money simply goes to them. Which is a bit bizzare in some way, I mean last year you could easily belive that Irn Bru was the superleage sponsor if you only watched it on telly.

Lady Dolphins Soccer Ends Season In Overtime at Clackamas
The Shoreline Community College Women's Soccer Team dropped a tough 1-0 match to Clackamas Community College on Saturday night at the Oregon High School Stadium in the NWAACC Quarter Finals.
It took 96 minutes for the loss to occur, as both teams fought to a 0-0 tie in regulation but Tayler Ficek took a loose ball in front of the SCC goal 6 minutes into overtime and put it in the net for a Cougar win and send SCC h
ome from the NWAACC Playoffs. Ficek had won last year's quarter-final match for Clackamas in overtime as well against Green River CC.
The Lady Dolphins finished the season at 10-6-4 and was tied for 2nd in the NWAACC Northern Region. The SCC squad missed the playoffs last season when they lost a "Play-In" game against Edmonds CC. The team was freshman dominated with 4 sophomores on the squad.
Clackamas is now 14-3 on the year and will advance to the NWAACC Soccer Championship next weekend at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila.

38 U.S. Code § 1525 - Protection of health-care eligibility
prev | next
(a) In the case of a veteran whose entitlement to pension is terminated after January 31, 1985, by reason of income from work or training, the veteran shall retain for a period of three years beginning on the date of such termination all eligibility for care and services under such chapter that the veteran would have had if the veteran's entitlement to pension had not been terminated. Care and services for which such a veteran retains eligibility include, when applicable, drugs and medicines under section 1712 (d) of this title.
(b) For purposes of this section, the term "terminated by reason of income from work or training" means terminated as a result of the veteran's receipt of earnings from activity performed for remuneration or with gain, but only if the veteran's annual income from sources other than such earnings would, taken alone, not result in the termination of the veteran's pension.

I really like the 'Provincial' maps... nicely done.
I've posted few days ago, the "finished" map of Galia.
I mentioned that this map was only a small global presentation of this fictionnal country.
Here is the thread :
The rest is still in progress.
Here is what it looks like :
Here is a topographic map of Galia (click on map to zoom) :
There is still a big hole in the middle of the map because I made a change in an area covering several central provinces.
Here is a map of all the canopees, a canopee is a small administrative division similar to a US county or a french commune. It will be helpfull to make population maps and stuff like that (click on map to zoom).
Finaly here what provincial maps looks like.
I have a scale problem so I can't show you a complete province but just a small part right now (click on maps to zoom).
From left to right : The small coast of North Isthmus (Isthme-du-Nord) - The unpopulated province of Silo - The province of Deläväar unfinished map - The mountainous Black Coast (Côte-Noire).
Approximately 10 of the 46 provinces are completed.
30 others are in a good way.
I have just started 3 that need to be enhanced
and 3 others needs to be completely done .
Hope you'll like it.

That is some seriously awesome detail! Looks great
Here is a new topographic map. With rivers this time.
Still in progress... I'm killing my 7 years old computer with this huge file

Wow, the level of detail on the topography is incredible, and very believable. Adding the rivers gives a little extra punch. It is looking very good!
I agree - you've done an awesome job with the topography. Is it hand-drawn or generated? The provincial maps are a delight too.
I started to say there's some odd stuff going on at the south coast, but i realized you have blue both for water and for 'not fully rendered yet' :-)...
Hi. It is "hand-drawn" on illustrator but taken from drawing I made on paper.
Here is the same map with more landscape. I think the next one will be the last one about topography.
When done, I'll work on provincial maps and try to fix the scale problem.

looks great, although you have a river on the western side of the map that goes from sea to sea; Unless the bottom body of water is a lake, as your river appears to be flowing north, this is unrealistic.
Very nicely done. I noticed some darker blue lines in the southern ocean, does that mean that the land down there has not been entirely drawn in, if so it would explain some of the river violations. Still great work though.
People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

That's right, it's not finished yet so some places may seem a little weird.
Rythal, I think the place you were talking about is now fixed.

Arya Stark
this wiki
- "Joffrey... Cersei... Ilyn Payne... The Hound... Polliver... The Mountain..."
- ―Arya Stark's "prayer"
Arya Stark is a major character in the first, second and third seasons. She is played by starring cast member Maisie Williams, and debuts in the series premiere. Arya is the younger daughter of Lord Eddard Stark. She is fiercely independent and is often mistaken for a boy. She wields a sword named Needle, a gift from her half-brother, Jon Snow, and she has been trained in the Braavos style of swordfighting. She adopted the direwolf, Nymeria, but they have since been separated.
When her father was betrayed and arrested, Arya managed to flee the castle and was found by Night's Watch recruiter, Yoren, who got her out of the city disguised as a recruit and tried to take her home. However they were attacked along the way and Yoren was killed, leaving Arya caught behind the battle lines in the war-ravaged Riverlands, still trying to make her way back home.
Arya Stark is the youngest daughter and third child of Lady Catelyn and Lord Eddard Stark. Eddard is the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rule the region from their seat of Winterfell and Eddard also holds the title Lord of Winterfell. He is also the Warden of the North to King Robert Baratheon.[1]
Arya was born and raised at Winterfell. Arya has an older sister Sansa Stark with whom she quarrels. She has an older brother Robb and two younger brothers Bran and Rickon. She has a bastard half-brother Jon Snow.[2][2]
Arya rejects the notion that she must become a lady and marry for influence and power, feeling she can forge her own destiny. She is fascinated by warfare and training in the use of arms, and is bored by embroidery and other "lady-like" pursuits. She takes after her father and has a quarrelsome relationship with her sister Sansa. She is close to her half brother Jon who is also something of an outcast.[2]
Season 1
Arya is being taught how to sew by Septa Mordane, but tires of the lesson when she hears Bran, Jon, and Robb practising archery in the courtyard. She grabs a bow and annoys Bran by out-shooting him.[3]
On King Robert's visit to Winterfell, Arya rushes out to see the arrival of his entourage. She is scolded when she finally joins the receiving line in the courtyard, and then is overheard by Queen Cersei Lannister to ask where's the "Imp", a reference to Tyrion Lannister. Later that evening at the feast, she tests her mother's patience by misbehaving and throwing food at her sister, Sansa. Robert names Arya's father Eddard Stark as his Hand of the King, Joffrey is betrothed to Sansa, and Eddard decides to take his daughters with him to King's Landing to experience the court.[3] Before leaving Arya receives a pet direwolf, one of several cubs found by her brothers outside the castle, and names her Nymeria, after a great warrior-queen of Essos. She also receives a sword as a gift from Jon. He names it Needle, as a play on words that she may now enjoy doing "Needlework."[4]
While journeying south on the Kingsroad, she practices her swordwork with Mycah, the son of the butcher in the King's retinue whom she befriends. When Sansa and her betrothed, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, spot them fighting Joffrey intervenes. He accuses Mycah of pretending to be a knight and threatens him for striking Arya. Ignoring their protests, he cuts Mycah and threatens Arya when she attacks him to defend Mycah. As Joffrey menaces her with a sword, Nymeria savages Joffrey, injuring his arm, allowing Mycah to flee and Arya to throw Joffrey's sword in the river. Arya runs away and drives Nymeria off with rocks so that she won't be punished. Arya is eventually found and questioned. Arya is truthful but Sansa lies about the incident, saying she didn't see what happened, but generally supporting Joffrey. Queen Cersei, as they don't have Arya's wolf Nymeria the one who actually bit Joffrey, has King Robert Baratheon order Sansa's direwolf Lady executed. Mycah is murdered by Joffrey's bodyguard The Hound.[4]
After reaching King's Landing, Arya argues incessantly with Sansa over the incident, to her father's despair. Eddard tries to make Arya understand that Sansa could not contradict her future husband. Arya is disgusted that Eddard thinks such an excuse is acceptable. Eddard discovers Needle when he comes to Arya's room to talk to her while she is practicing. When he realizes she is serious about learning and will do it by herself if she has to, he decides to hire Syrio Forel, a master sword-fighter from Braavos, to train Arya in the art of combat.[5] Eddard is bemused to find that Syrio's training regime includes having Arya balance on her tiptoes for hours at a time and chasing cats around their new residence in the Red Keep to learn agility. When talking about Bran, Arya and her father discuss how he can't be a knight since he was paralyzed, but he can be lord of a holdfast, or sit on the king's council, etc. Arya asks if she can as well, Eddard laughs and says to Arya that no, someday she is to marry a powerful lord and have children that can be lords or even king and rule the land. To which she matter-of-factly replies that isn't her destiny at all.[6]
Arya watches the Hand's tournament along with Septa Mordane and Sansa. She asks Littlefinger how he got his nickname, to his amusement. Arya later resumes her cat-chasing training exercise and finds her way into the dungeons under the Red Keep, where she sees the dragon skulls that used to decorate the Great Hall of the Iron Throne. She overhears Varys and Illyrio Mopatis plotting about the likelihood of future war between the Starks and Lannisters and possible timing of Khal Drogo bringing his army across the Narrow Sea with the Targaryen exiles. Following them Arya finds a passage out of the castle and then must confront and threaten the castle guards in order to get back in. Her father is angry as he has had people looking for her. She tries to tell him about the conspirators she over heard, but cannot identify them and has forgotten most of the details by the time she gets back to her father, other than that it was about plotting for "the wolf and the lion" (the Starks and Lannisters) to fight each other. Eddard introduces her as his daughter to Yoren, a recruiter for the Night's Watch. Disheveled and unclean, Arya is at first mistaken by him as a boy, to her annoyance.[7]
Arya is distracted from her training exercises by news of Jory's death and her father's injury while fighting Jaime Lannister. Syrio teaches her how to ignore her troubles to focus on fighting. Later, Eddard Stark brings his daughters together to tell them he is sending them back to Winterfell. Sansa and Arya are both upset. Arya doesn't want to leave Syrio's training. Sansa is incensed, feeling that losing a dancing instructor is nothing compared to breaking her betrothal to Joffrey. Lord Eddard says not to worry he will chose another man for her to marry, one strong and gentle and brave. Sansa says she doesn't want someone like that she wants Joffrey. She wants to have his blonde babies, like Joffrey her "golden-haired lion". After the interjection "Seven hells", Arya asserts that he will be a stag like his father. Sansa replies that Joffrey is nothing like Robert. This prompts Eddard's sudden realization that Joffrey is not Robert's son and thus not the heir to the throne.[8]
When confronted about this, Cersei admits that her children are the result of her incestuous relationship with her brother Jaime Lannister. Eddard warns Cersei that she must take the children and leave King's Landing, possibly Westeros, as Robert's rage would likely mean their deaths when he exposes her infidelity. However, Robert is wounded by a boar while hunting and dies shortly afterwards.[9] Cersei and Joffrey have Eddard arrested and send guards to take Arya into custody. Syrio realizes they are not from her father and tells her not to go with them. Telling Arya to flee, he fights them. Forel is only armed with a wooden sword, but he disarms several Lannister guards and holds off one of the Kingsguard, Ser Meryn Trant. Arya goes first to the stable, where the men who were to take her and Sansa out of King's Landing were waiting with the baggage. The men have been killed, but she finds her sword "Needle" were she hid it in the bottom of her luggage. She is discovered by a stableboy who tries to stop her. As he comes at her, she raises her sword, and he is impaled and dies. Arya horrified runs away to find her way out of the castle. As a result of subsequent events, war breaks out between the forces of House Lannister and the forces loyal to House Stark, now under the leadership of Robb.[10]
Arya lives on the streets of King's Landing, catching wild birds to feed herself. While trying to bargain for something to eat at a baker's stand, Arya notices crowds of people running to the city's center. She discovers that they are assembling to witness the trial of the Hand of the King. Dropping the pigeon she holds, Arya runs to the crowded square, and, to get a better view and see her father, she climbs on the pedestal of a statue of former Targaryen king Baelor (for whom the Sept is named). Eddard is brought out and pulled through the crowd. He spots Arya, and then, as he is taken past Yoren, he manages to signal in Arya direction saying "Baelor". Hoping Yoren can recognize and take care of her. When Ned is made to confess his treason and Joffrey orders Ned's execution, Arya dashes forward drawing her sword in an attempt to save her father. Yoren manages to grab her. Holding Arya against his chest, he tells her not to look. Before he is executed, Ned Stark looks to the statue of Baelor and sees the Arya is gone. Arya looks up at the sky. Upon seeing the frightened birds taking flight from the cheer of the crowd, Arya knows that her father is dead.[11]
Yoren cuts her hair to make her look more like a boy and vows to get her home. She will pose as a fresh recruit for the Night's Watch. He tells her not to trust the others, as they could turn her in for a reward or possibly rape her. When Arya joins the group of other recruits for the Wall, she is bullied by two boys, Hot Pie and Lommy Greenhands, but she defends herself and scares them off with Needle. Gendry, another recruit, also steps up to defend her. The entire group departs King's Landing, facing a journey of hundreds of miles through a warzone in order to get back to Winterfell.[12]
Season 2
- Main: Arya Stark Season 2
Arya travels north on the Kingsroad with Yoren, posing as one of his Night's Watch recruits.[13] She is drawn to one of the prisoners in the wagon, Jaqen H'ghar. He is a murderer from the black cells of the dungeons, where the worst criminals are kept in King's Landing, so will stay locked up in the cage until they reach the wall. He asks for water, but the other two murderers, Rorge and Biter threaten her, so she doesn't get it for him. She forms a bond with former blacksmith's apprentice Gendry who sees through her disguise. When Goldcloaks arrive from King's Landing with a warrant for one of the recruits, Arya fears that they are looking for her, but it is actually Gendry (who is unaware of his status as a royal bastard of Robert Baratheon). Yoren intimidates them into leaving empty handed. Arya confesses her identity to Gendry after he reveals being questioned by her father before leaving the capital.[14]
Arya asks for Yoren's advice on living with the tragedies she has suffered, and he tells her the story of how thoughts of revenge resulted in his committing murder and having to join the Night's Watch. He became obsessed with Willam and recited his name over and over at night before he slept. Then when Willam returned Yoren killed him. Yoren had to flee his village, losing his life and future, he had to take the black. Arya heard this story, but didn't understand it. Yoren was trying to tell her not to be obsessed by thoughts of revenge as it will consume her, but Arya heard that she should chant the names of her enemies each night before she slept, almost like a prayer, until the day she can get revenge. The Goldcloaks return having enlisted the support of Ser Amory Lorch and Lannister men. Yoren dies heroically defending Gendry but the recruits are overcome. Polliver steals Needle from Arya. Arya convinces Ser Amory that he has killed Gendry because another recruit died while he was carrying Gendry's bull's head helm.[15]
Ser Amory takes his captives to Harrenhal. Each day one of the prisoners is chosen by Ser Gregor Clegane to be systematically and brutally tortured by the Tickler. Arya begins a nightly recitation of the names of her enemies, adding both men to her list. Lord Tywin Lannister returns to the castle and halts the ordeal, shortly before Gendry is going to be killed. He criticizes Gregor for wasting manpower. He immediately spots that Arya is posing as a boy. She claims that it made it safer to travel and Tywin senses her intelligence and makes her his cupbearer.[16]
Tywin hosts a war council and Arya serves food and drink. She moves to pour wine but Tywin stops her, demanding water. He questions her origin, realizing that she is a northerner. He rejects Arya's first lie that she is from the Riverlands but her second withstands his scrutiny. Upon being questioned about the northerners' opinions of her brother, Robb Stark, she repeats rumours that he has a supernatural link to his direwolf and that he is invulnerable. Tywin asks if she believes this and she replies "No, My Lord, anyone can be killed". She leaves to fetch water and encounters Jaqen, now a Lannister man-at-arms. Jaqen says that because she saved his life, and those of his two fellow prisoners, he owes her three deaths and offers to kill three people of her choosing. She targets the Tickler. He is soon found dead in the courtyard. Arya notices Jaqen on the walkway above and he smiles and holds a single finger to his face to signify his responsibility.[17]
Arya is afraid of being recognized when Petyr Baelish visits Lord Tywin but he says nothing. Tywin catches her reading a letter detailing his troop movements and questions where she learned to read. She distracts him by asking about his own childhood and steals the letter. She is caught carrying it by Ser Amory. She manages to escape him and names him as her next victim to Jaqen. Jaqen kills him before he is able to expose the theft.[18] Tywin believes that he was the intended victim and begins a brutal investigation, ordering the deaths of dozens of his own men. He tasks Ser Gregor with rooting out the Brotherhood Without Banners believing that they are responsible for the assassination. Tywin talks to Arya about the importance of legacy and the destruction of Harrenhal in the Wars of Conquest. His suspicions are heightened by her own knowledge of history.[19]
Tywin decides to leave Harrenhal to drive Robb's armies from the Westerlands. He makes Gregor Castellan and leaves Arya to serve him. Arya seeks out Jaqen, intending to name Tywin to protect Robb, but is unable to find him in time. When he returns from patrol she asks him to help her escape and he refuses, saying that it was not part of their arrangement. She gives Jaqen his own name in response, refusing to take it back unless he helps her. Jaqen kills several guards that night, allowing Arya to walk out of the castle with Gendry and Hot Pie.[20]
As the trio begin their trek into the Riverlands, they are surprised by Jaqen, who seems to appear from nowhere. Arya approaches him alone and asks how he killed those men, expressing her desire to learn his assassination skills. He offers to take Arya to Braavos (home city of her "dancing" instructor Syrio Forel) to train with the Faceless Men. She declines, telling him that she needs to find her family first, including Sansa. Jaqen gives Arya a single coin, explaining that should she change her mind, she only needs to give the coin to any man from Braavos and recite the High Valyrian words "Valar Morghulis." Jaqen changes his face to that of another man and bids a stunned Arya farewell.[21]
Season 3
Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry continue travelling north. They are eventually captured by The Brotherhood Without Banners, who mistake them for war refugees. They are taken to a local inn where they are fed. Just as they are about to leave Sandor Clegane is brought in as a captive. He then reveals Arya's true identity.
Hot Pie stays behind at the inn while Gendry and Arya are taken to the Commander of the Brotherhood at their hideout in the Riverlands. There Anguy trains Arya with a bow. Arya spots someone behind her target, which is revealed to be Melisandre and a small group of Stannis Baratheon's men. Melisandre says the Brotherhood has someone the Lord of Light needs, and soon after has her men take Gendry into her custody. Arya protests, particularly when she sees that Melisandre has given the Brotherhood two heavy sacks of gold in exchange. She confronts the red priestess, calling her a witch. Melisandre ignores the barb and looks into Arya's eyes. She sees many other eyes, of many other colors- eyes that Arya will shut forever.
Later at the camp, disillusioned with the Brotherhood for selling Gendry, Arya takes an opportunity to escape and runs off into the night. Before she gets too far, however, she is kidnapped by Sandor Clegane, who was lying in wait for her.
During her captivity, Arya picks up a rock and stands over the Hound planning to strike. She thinks he is sound asleep and is completely vulnerable. Not so and he opens his eyes and tells her she has one chance to hit him, and kill him, if she fails he will break her hands. Later she sits on the horse with him sullen and refusing food he offers her. Sandor points out that for all she hates him, Arya could have been taken captive by far worse. He tells her the story of Sansa and how he rescued her from the mob, men who were going to rape her in every way then slit her throat and leaving her to die. Arya says he's lying but Sandor says "Ask your sister if you ever see her again." They continue onward across the meadows and arrive a river which Arya initially thinks to be the Blackwater. Rather confused with her lack of understanding he points out that the river is the Red Fork of the Trident. Arya had believed the Hound was taking her back to King's Landing, but he reveals that he is in fact taking her to The Twins, intending to get a reward by ransoming her back to her family. The marriage of her uncle is imminent and both her brother and her mother will be there at the Twins. He tells her ruefully that if she wasn't so busy trying to bash his skull in they might make it in time for the wedding. Arya has a small and hidden smile as the Hound spurs the horse to a gallop.
On the way to The Twins, Arya and Sandor come across a Hog farmer who is also going to The Twins for the wedding, but his wagon is damaged. Sandor lifts the wagon, the hog farmer repairs it, then Sandor punches him and knocks him unconscious. Sandor draws a dagger to kill the hog farmer, when Arya begs him not to, and Sandor relents. The hog farmer wakes up, and Arya knocks him out again with another blow to the head. They arrive in the area of The Twins and Arya nervously gazes toward the Stark camp. Sandor tells Arya that she is visibly afraid that something may happen to ruin her reunion with her family. Arya tells Sandor that he was visibly afraid of Beric Dondarrion's flaming sword, and that she knows what Sandor's brother did to him when they were children. Sandor taunts Arya about the execution of her father, then Arya tells Sandor one day she will stab him through his eye and out the back of his skull.
Arya and Sandor arrive at the gates of The Twins, in disguise as a hog farmer and his daughter. Sandor tells a Frey guard they have salt pork for the wedding feast, but the guard tells them the feast is over and orders them to leave. Arya then runs away from Sandor and hides near a table of Stark soldiers. Suddenly, soldiers come out of the castle and murder the Stark men. Arya hears Grey Wind howling inside a wooden cage, but four crossbowmen come out of the castle and murder the direwolf. After the crossbowmen leave, Arya attempts to enter the castle, but is stopped by Sandor, who says that it is too late to do anything. Arya struggles to get into the castle anyway, so Sandor knocks her unconscious and carries her away, realizing that any attempt to intervene at this point would be suicide.[22] Sandor mounts his horse with her, and picks up a Frey banner for their safety as he tries to slip away through the chaos. They both witness Frey and Bolton soldiers parading her brother's mutilated corpse, with the head of Grey Wind attached to her brother's body. Arya and Sandor then flee the castle on horseback while the Stark army is massacred during the Red Wedding.
While riding to destinations unknown, Arya and Sandor come across a group of four Frey soldiers eating at a campfire. They are mocking the death of Arya's mother, while one of the soldiers describes the process of sewing Grey Wind's head onto Robb Stark's dead body. Arya then dismounts from Sandor's horse and slowly walks up behind the soldier. He turns around and asks her what she wants, and she says she wants to keep warm and is hungry. The soldiers rudely tell her to go away, then she says she has money, and shows them the Braavosi coin given to her by Jaqen H'ghar. She purposely drops the coin, and when the soldier bends down to pick it up, she repeatedly stabs him in the back of the neck with a knife. The other three men draw their weapons, but Sandor appears and kills all three with ease. Sandor asks Arya how she got a knife, and she says she took it from him. Sandor asks if that the first man she has ever killed, and Arya says it is. Arya picks up the coin with her bloodied fingers and whispers, "Valar Morghulis."[23]

Behind the scenes
In the novels, Arya is left-handed. Maisie Williams is right-handed, but plays Arya as left-handed to be true to the books, including learning how to fight with a sword in her left hand. Maisie's mother discovered that Arya is left handed while reading the books, and urged her to play Arya left-handed, for fear that if she didn't, hardcore fans of the books would be outraged and instantly reject her performance.
In the books
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Arya is nine years old when King Robert Baratheon arrives at Winterfell. She is a tomboy who wants to learn how to fight with a sword and ride in tourneys, to the horror of her more demure older sister, Sansa, but she is encouraged by her half-brother Jon. She has her father's long face and is called Arya Horseface and Arya Underfoot as she is always curious and always where she isn't supposed to be. In the TV series, she is a good shot with a bow. In the novels, she does not know how to use a bow, but wishes she could.
Yoren does not tell Arya the story about Willem and how he came to be part of the Night's Watch. Reciting the names of her enemies is something that she starts doing on her own. Yoren does tell her that her father was not supposed to die that day. The reason Yoren was in the Sept of Baelor and not already on the road is because he was told by Varys, the same man that came bringing Gendry, that Lord Eddard was to be given mercy, allowed to take the black, and would be traveling back with him to the Wall. When he says something must have gone wrong, Arya replies, "Joffrey. Someone should kill him."
During Season 2 of the TV series, she serves as Tywin Lannister's cupbearer. In the novels, she serves Roose Bolton, who captured Harrenhal from Amory Lorch after Tywin Lannister leaves with his army to defend the Westerlands. Thus, none of the scenes between Tywin and Arya happened in the books. She still flees from Harrenhal with Gendry and Hot Pie, but she does so without using Jaqen H'gar's help; though in the novels she does use Jaqen's help to open Harrenhal to Roose Bolton and the Northmen.
Arya's storyline at Harrenhal in Season 2 was heavily condensed from the books. After being captured by Ser Gregor Clegane's men, she is forced to work at Harrenhal, running errands for an under-steward name Weese who is abusive and beats her. When Jaqen H'ghar gives her the opportunity to kill three men, the first one she picks is man-at-arms for Gregor Clegane named Chiswyck, because he she overheard him telling a story laughing about how Clegane's men had gang-raped an innkeeper's daughter. The second name she chooses is Weese. The TV series changed this so that instead, Arya chooses the Tickler and Amory Lorch, who are not killed by Jaqen in the book.
Arya's third and final choice was similar, but somewhat condensed from what happened in the books. In the TV series, she asks Jaqen to help her escape, so he kills the Lannister guards. In the books, Arya asks Jaqen to help her free a large number of Northern prisoners-of-war who are being held at the castle. Jaqen refuses at first, then Arya chooses him as the third man to die. Jaqen asks her to change her choice, and she agrees on condition that he helps her free the prisoners. He enlists the help of Rorge and Biter. They get large pots of boiling soup as the prisoners' dinner, but when they get to the dungeons, they throw the boiling-hot soup on the guards and slay them, free and arm the prisoners, and take Harrenhal from the Lannister forces. This is remembered as the "weasel soup" incident, because at the time, Arya was using the alias "Weasel" (she had stopped using the "Arry" alias). Soon afterwards Jaqen leaves, after giving Arya a coin. He explains that if she ever needs to find him again, she should give the coin to any man from Braavos, and say "Valar morghulis".
Roose Bolton becomes the master of Harrenhal as a result, and Arya becomes his cupbearer. Arya does not leave because she feels safe with the Northern soldiers, but at the same time she still keeps her true identity secret (partially out of fear of being betrayed to the Lannisters again). While Arya waits at Harrenhal in the hope that her brother Robb will eventually arrive (at which point she would reveal herself), she ultimately decides that she is not safe there and leaves with Gendry and Hot Pie, to try to reach her family at Riverrun.
Arya technically gained the title of "princess" when her brother Robb was declared the new King in the North. While her brothers Bran and Rickon use the title of "prince" among the Northerners at Winterfell, Arya's storyline takes her on the run through the Riverlands as it is torn apart in the war between the Starks and Lannisters, so that she is usually keeping her true name a secret, let alone her title. Thus she normally isn't referred to as "princess", or at least not in her surroundings; Robb, Catelyn, and the Freys refer to her as a "princess" when brokering their marriage-alliance.
Ironically she meets her Frey husband-to-be (Elmar Frey) while serving under Roose Bolton, and he spends time talking at length to Arya about his promised princess, unknowningly speaking to her personally.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Arya" is pronounced "ARE - yuh".

Lauren Schoonover, a freshman
goalkeeper from Marysville-Pilchuck High School, was named as one of the three
goalkeepers for the North-West All-Stars, a combination of players from the
NWAACC Northern and Western regions, who play the All-Stars from the South-West
regions at the NWAACC Soccer Championships on Sunday.
Schoonover took over the
goalkeeper duties just before the mid-season mark of the year and recorded two
shutouts for the Dolphins. SCC finished the season 8-7-5 and lost to Edmonds CC
in a "Play-In" game to the NWAACC Playoffs when both teams finished
tied for third in the region.
In a match that had overtime written all over it, the Edmonds Community College Lady Tritons stunned Shoreline CC in the final minute of regulation to score and win the "Play-In" game to the NWAACC Soccer Playoffs at the Shoreline Stadium.
In a match that had chances for both teams to score early on, the final minutes seemed to be heading to overtime as neither team could mount much pressure, but ECC had a solid shot on goal, deflected away by SCC goal-keeper Lauren Schoonover, but an unmarked ECC player, was in perfect position to put the deflection away and did.
SCC had less than 1 minute to tie it and could not muster any offense against a stacked Edmonds defense. SCC finished the season 8-7-5 and 4th in the NWAACC Northern Region in the first season for Head Coach Aaron Howe. This will be the first time 7 years the Lady Dolphins have not qualified for postseason play. SCC had forced the "Play-In" game on Saturday by beating Edmonds 2-1 on their campus home field. SCC and ECC finished 1-1-1 for the season against each other. Edmonds advances to play the Community College of Spokane on Wednesday in Spokane at 1:00 PM in the first round of the NWAACC Women's Soccer Playoffs. ECC is 13-7-3 overall.
Edmonds scored first on Saturday with a goal at the 21 minute mark by Mady Schoonover. SCC tied the match in the 45th minute (just before halftime) on a goal by Kendra Holley from an assistant by Sara Gilmore.

Neutering stopped my 2 year old from marking and humping. Although he never had a mean bone in his body, the only goldens I have seen with an attitude towards intact males were not neutered.

We never neutered any of our dogs. We had two male dogs pretty much at the same time in the house and there was no marking, no fighting etc. Also DH took them shooting around other dogs and none of them ever exhibited aggression towards either bigger or smaller dogs.
From this experience I would assume that neutering would not do much for your problem. I wonder if maybe you have a friend or neighbor with a bigger mellow dog and try to introduce them properly. There are couple dogs in my neighborhood that I am personally scared of. I am first working on my own courage to be around them. Once that I feel confident with myself I would be working in introducing Rose to them.
Right now she knows that I fear them so she barks every time she feels they are close to our home. Many times I have no clue why she is barking and when I look outside I see them passing by.

There are also negative drawbacks/problems neutering can cause
The Negative Aspects of Neutering Your Pet
"Altered males:
- Increased occurrence of urinary calculi.
- Increased difficulty passing urinary calculi.
- Increased chance of urinary obstruction.
- Increased likelihood of urinary incontinence.
- Increased likelihood of adverse reaction to vaccinations (27-38%).
- Notable decrease in activity/drive. (same as above in female list)
- Increased chance of "perpetual puppy syndrome" undesirable urination.
- Inhibited social adjustment if castrated prior to sexual maturity.
- Substantial likelihood of appreciable demeanor change after castration (same concept as above in female list... reproductive hormones affect more than just reproduction).
- Increased likelihood of cognitive disorders if castrated before complete cognitive development (usually a good time AFTER sexual maturity).
- Notable decrease in muscle mass (yep, same as above)
- Generally live 2 (or greater) years shorter than unaltered littermates in controlled studies"
There are also many studies that show that neutering does decrease many undesirable affects such as fighting when it is male dominance aggression.
There are also legal ramifications that no one has brought up. If her dog attacks another dog and it is injured, she is responsible for the vet bills incurred from that attack. It can also put the dog in the "system". For example, here in PA, we have a three strikes law and then the dog has serious consequences facing it, including euthanasia.
The OP has also stated that she does not have training classes in the area and so she is at a big disadvantage in trying to get help. These issues can also become a habit and increase in frequency and the severity of the attack. There is also the issue of a human being injured when trying to stop the fight.
All of these things need to be considered before the OP reaches the proper decision for her and her dog.

Sorry, I do not advocate neutering a dog before all other options are explored. The dog should not have to undergo a possibly un needed operation because there are no trainers in the area. If the dog is that unpredictable it needs to be kept away from other dogs its not familiar with, not go to parks etc. Prevention is key they all say...but when it involves a neutered dog its a "neuter then allow them to play with other males"...thats silly. The owner knows the dog can be aggressive with other males, neutered or not the dog having a chance to attack another dog needs to be prevented. When the OP neuters the dog and sees the behavour is still present or possibly worse...you cannot sew the dogs balls back on and start from scratch. Its not a light decision to be made, your taking a vital part of a dogs body and function away....
About legalities, the OP is responsible if her dog bites another dog...whether its neutered or not.

Its a little bit of a moot point from both sides. Neutering a dog or not neutering has benefits and detractions from all sides. The truth of the matter is that it is not a magic bullet that is going to turn Cujo into Lassie. I see countless posts on here about how dogs are not faring well with particular dogs at a dog park like its not normal. A normal day at my dog park is a scuffle or fight every ten to fifteen minutes which is why I do not go and encourage people to avoid them. I don't like everybody I meet... why is it expected of our animals?
The golden standard is clear that goldens who are grouchy or nervous in normal situations may not be bred- they cannot quarrel with other dogs in normal situations. I just saw three intact male goldens get put in one big expen at a show so the owners could shop the venders. These are well known show males from well known breeders, and get along beautifully with other dogs. Plenty of golden intact males do not show aggression to outside intact males. I think it is too easy to make excuses for iffy temperament in the dog who shows well and has health clearances and other things, bc it is more gray area. Some people actively manage/ hide poor temperaments. A golden male who escalates to the point of fighting other golden males without extraordinary circumstances is clearly prohibited from being bred. Then, the question is, if you are not going to breed the dog bc of temperament, will neutering improve it. Well, in my experience, yes. It takes the boys down several notches drive and energy wise- even changes their coat texture and muscle tone sometimes. A neutered male, like a gelding instead of a stallion, is often (not always) less dog for the pet owner to deal with.

My problem is that I think it's unfair telling people to neuter or spay their pets as the sole answer as to how to manage dog aggression. Because I suspect what happens is they spend that money on the surgery, and then find out they have the same dog with the same problems.
I think some dogs just don't like other dogs getting in their faces or touching their stuff. Some of that is caused or exasperated by stress or even excitement. Whether they are intact or not.
A reasonable non-aggressive behavior would be what I've experienced when Jacks has had quite enough playtime with Bertie. One low growl and the pup immediately backs off.
How that could escalate or turn into something terrible is if you put a dog in a situation where he feels harassed and a low growl or even a variety of other subtle warnings do not make another dog back off and leave him alone.
With other dogs or something I've observed too is that their way of communicating is what is 'allowed' by the owners. That's whether the dogs are intact or not.
With the one dog we had neutered (when he was pushing 10), fwiw, the one behavior change we saw was he no longer had any use for the usual "exchange of information". So while in the past he and his brother would do the usual personal area sniffing/licking as a matter of course - after his surgery, he would growl or snap at his brother if he so much as got a sniff in the rear. Because neither dog had an aggressive bone in their bodies, the growl or snap worked. <- But again, I imagine it would be vastly different if Sammy snapped at his brother and Danny continued to harass him.
Beyond that - we did not notice any other behavior changes. Sammy still went out and marked. He still had the senioritis issue where he gradually forgot his borders and would wander if we took our eyes off him.
For the surgery they had to shave off his trousers and even a portion of his tail - and I remember how astounded we were by how quickly and thickly it all grew back. His coat always was too silky and prone to matting, so we didn't notice a texture change. But I've talked to a lot of breeders and obedience people (goldens and other breeds) who delay or avoid neutering/spaying their dogs primarily because it ruins the coats and makes them difficult to maintain.

Communication, Science and Technology deputy minister January Makamba has said he was appointed to the post due to his ability and diligence that he exhibited when he was chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Minerals.
Makamba, who is also the legislator for Bumbuli constituency, was addressing a public rally at Soni, in Lushoto district, where voters turned out in droves to welcome him after being appointed by President Kikwete to the new post.
He said his appointment was not a favour but a deserved one due to his ability he had shown which impressed the president.
"If President Kikwete had appointed me earlier soon after being an MP people would have thought that I had been favored… but now everybody has seen my ability when I was chairman of the Energy and Minerals committee… I worked hard and led the committee successfully," he said.
He thanked President Kikwete for giving him an opportunity to serve Tanzanians and pledged to work even harder in carrying out his new responsibilities.
He urged the residents of Bumbuli constituency to work hard and pray for the country's peace and tranquillity to prevail.
He promised he would fight to ensure one day Bumbuli attained council status so it could speed up the development of its people.
Makamba is in his constituency to inspect development projects.

Vivid, arresting, and profound. The oeuvres of Stanley Kubrick and Ed Ruscha, two of the past century's most prolific and revered artists, are often described as such, but in many ways the similarity ends there. The legendary Kubrick, who passed away in 1999, is survived by his uncompromising arsenal of cinematic triumphs—Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and 2001: A Space Odyssey among them—known for their exacting and visually dazzling depictions of themes common to the human experience, including violence, sexuality, war, the future, science, and revenge. Ruscha, continuing his practice of painting, drawing, printing, and photography to the present day, has achieved his own vibrant aesthetic through his reflections of Californian urbanity, which uniquely capture its saturated hues and sense of isolation with a canny humor suggestive of the Pop Art movement. In October, dedicated exhibits of each artist opened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, as part of this year's Art + Film Gala (presented by Gucci), the second such event since the museum began a new film initiative. LACMA trustee Eva Chow, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, cochaired the evening, which featured a Kubrick tribute by Steven Spielberg and a performance by Florence and the Machine. Before the big night, Chow sat down with honoree Ruscha to talk about why it's important to stay focused on film.
EVA CHOW You've been so busy with museums lately!
ED RUSCHA Well, I've done this show in Austria and many works, probably 250 works. So it's coming along, I just got back from it. But I don't mind being busy. What are you up to?
EC I'm doing the Mr. Chow bakery next door to Mr. Chow. Or maybe it's going to be Mrs. Chow's bakery! That'll be fun, no?
ER Sure, a bakery, what's wrong with that?
EC I love that. Let's talk about how your relationship with LACMA began, Ed.
ER I did a painting called The Los Angeles County Museum on Fire in 1968 that was a protest against the authority figure in my life, as I felt like maybe museums were at that time. It's become something much different today. I've watched that museum change physically, and also in its programming. I've had two, possibly three shows there, so I've always had a connection with LACMA. I was disappointed when they did certain things, like when they dropped their film program, but now they're restoring it in a big way, which your gala is a part of, and that's good to hear. Maybe it was a budgetary consideration at that time. You know, the world of film is more important than some people think. Art is not all just painting and sculpture.
EC What's happening is that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is going to be housed at the May Company building with LACMA. I think you put it right, that film is such an important art form. Artists, fashion designers, musicians, everybody—we are all influenced by film in one way or another. Being in Los Angeles, I think it is very, very important to preserve and honor that, and that's what we're doing. Do you agree?
ER Oh yeah. I was probably attracted to this place when I was a kid in Oklahoma because I knew movies were made in Hollywood and that was almost enough for me. Add in the vegetation growing out here, palm trees and everything…When I first came out here it was heavenly because it was like a scratchy black-and-white movie. I still look back on my early days here as being connected in some metaphoric way to old scratchy black-and-white movies.
EC That's beautiful to visualize! You know, we have Elvis Mitchell, who's an amazing film curator—
ER Great guy.
EC Amazing guy, and his knowledge of film is just incredible. We're doing a lot with restoring old films and honoring great filmmakers, which is what this gala is. We're honoring incredibly creative people. And I think there's a real artistic community growing here that really wants to support film preservation.
ER No doubt about that. There are more artists than there were 10 years ago, or even five years ago. People are actually coming here as a destination, as artists and filmmakers have for the last 100 years. It's an ever-moving thing.
EC Every artist influences the way we see things and the way we see life. That's what great artists do, and great filmmakers do that as well. We are so happy you agreed to do this. I know I had to kind of…
ER Coerce me.
EC Yeah, coerce you a little bit. So we've got Ed Ruscha, Kubrick, Spielberg, and Florence is going to sing. I wanted a female because it's all so male-dominated…except for me. How do you feel about being paired with Kubrick as honoree?
ER It wasn't a choice of mine, but I love his movies. Especially the older ones like Paths of Glory. He also did still photography that not many people know about. There are some beautiful still photographs that he took. He would pose people together, like frozen scenes from movies. Not many people have done that.
EC Well, everybody knows you are one of the most amazing artists, and you've lived and worked in Los Angeles for so long, I think for Los Angeles to honor you is really great! But you're so busy, you have so many show openings, you have to go travel the world.
ER The trick is keeping your sanity. I take a philosophical approach to everything, I figure that everything is just a bump on the highway and we're all just little bumps playing our role. It's certainly an honor.
EC It's just fun having good, creative, talented people come together. I like to do this as if I'm entertaining at home. I like to pay attention to who's going to sit next to whom, what the food will be, and if everybody is going to be happy. Good entertaining, in my book, is just making sure that you love the guests that are coming.
ER Just remember you'll never have perfection. [laughs]
EC Right? I think those little imperfections that happen accidentally are what makes it all really fun, don't you think?
ER Well, Eva, you're already having fun, and the party hasn't even happened!
EC I just love to produce things and see what happens.
ER Now the real work begins.
