Community and Education Briefs
Curtains open to new home for LLCT
By Jocelyn Stott
Splash Contributor
Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time to take your seats at the new home of the Liberty Lake Community Theatre, now housed at 22910 E. Appleway Ave. in Liberty Lake.
Located in the former Stix Sports location, the new venue features a large reception/concessions area adjacent to two large rooms for children's programs, camps and workshops. Down the hall, the nonprofit theater group has designated a box office and actor's green room adjacent to the approximately 120-seat theater area. Restrooms, storage and room to grow are all exciting features of the new facility.
The theater also has a loft for sound and lighting equipment. While the new space is going to need a little elbow grease to be ready for the May 10-19 production of, "Got it Made," directed by founder and President Jennifer Ophardt and Chairman of Production Kevin Kuecken, the group is confident the show will go on as planned.
In fact, "Got it Made," actor and LLCT volunteer Leslie Larson was recently heard singing while vacuuming the new space. Larsen plays Chloe Crystalson in the production.
"We've got a lot of talented volunteers who are working hard on this, along with great sponsors," Ophardt said.
LLCT has been essentially homeless since Ophardt founded the education-based theater program upon moving to the area in 2007. Actors staged productions at nearly 10 different locations around Liberty Lake before settling here. Members of LLCT are from Liberty Lake, Coeur d'Alene and the greater Spokane region.
In March, the group began improv comedy workshops every other Monday at 7 p.m. for ages 18 and older. The first performance, however, was the "Reluctant Dragon" reader's theater, which is solely acted from script with no set or props.

A Hybrid Fuzzy Approach for Human Eye Gaze Pattern Recognition.
ABSTRACT Face perception and text reading are two of the most developed visual perceptual skills in humans. Understanding which features

is able to provide a comparable performance but with a more interpretable form of the learned structure.
Conference Paper: Fuzzy rough signatures.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We extend the idea of Fuzzy Signature to Fuzzy Rough Signature (FRS). The proposed Fuzzy Rough Signature is capable of handling most kind of uncertainty: epistemic and random uncertainty, vagueness due to indiscernibility, and linguistic vagueness that exists in both large as well as small sample data sets. Additionally, this system is capable of hierarchical organization of inputs and use of flexible aggregation selection will simplify the combinations of inputs from different sources.FUZZ-IEEE 2009, IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, Jeju Island, Korea, 20-24 August 2009, Proceedings; 01/2009

ABSTRACT: The generalized Weighted Relevance Aggregation Operator (WRAO) is a non-additive aggregation function. The Ordered Weighted Aggregation Operator (OWA) (or its generalized form: Generalized Ordered Weighted Aggregation Operator (GOWA)) is more restricted with the additivity constraint in its weights. In addition, it has an extra weights reordering step making it hard to learn automatically from data. Our intension here is to compare the efficiency (or effectiveness) of learning these two types of aggregation functions from empirical data. We employed two methods to learn WRAO and GOWA: Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based method. We use UCI (University of California Irvine) benchmark data to compare the aggregation performance of non-additive WRAO and additive GOWA. We found that the non-constrained aggregation function WRAO was learnt well automatically and produced consistent results, while GOWA was learnt less well and quite inconsistently.

Conference Paper: Gaze Pattern and Reading Comprehension.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Does the way a person read influence the way they understand information or is it the other way around? In regard to reading of English text, just how much we can learn from a person's gaze pattern? It is known that while reading, we inadvertently form rational connections between pieces of information we pick up from the text. That reflects in certain disruptions in the norms of reading paradigm and that gives us clues to our interest level in reading activities. In this paper, we validate the above statement and then propose a novel method of detecting the level of engagement in reading based on a person's gaze-pattern. We organised some experiments in reading tasks of over thirty participants and the experimental outputs are classified with Artificial Neural Networks with an approximately 80 percent accuracy. The design of this approach is simple and computationally feasible enough to be applied in a real-life system. "Your eyes are the windows to your soul"Neural Information Processing.

Abstract. Face perception and text reading are two of the most devel-
oped visual perceptual skills in humans. Understanding which features
in the respective visual patterns make them differ from each other is
very important for us to investigate the correlation between human's vi-
sual behavior and cognitive processes. We introduce our fuzzy signatures
with Levenberg-Marquardt optimisation method based hybrid approach
for recognising the different eye-gaze patterns when a human is viewing
faces or text documents. Our experiment results show effectiveness of
using this method for the real world case. A further comparison with
Support Vector Machines (SVM) also demonstrates that by defining the
classification process in the similar way to SVM, our hybrid approach is
able to provide a comparable performance but with a more interpretable
form of the learned structure.
Key words: Eye-gaze Pattern, Fuzzy Signatures, WRAO, Levenberg-
Marquardt Optimisation, SVM.
Human-beings' eyes and their movements are tightly coupled with human cog-
nitive processes, which has been found to be very informative and valuable in
various kinds of research areas. Furthermore, previous research has shown that
human beings' eye-gaze patterns for observing different objects are also quite
significant for the understanding of cognitive and decision-making processes.
We have been working on developing effective, efficient and robust approaches
to generally provide a clear recognition or unambiguous interpretation of human
eye-gaze patterns in a variety of settings. In [4], we have successfully shown a
sophisticated use of eye-gaze information for inference of a user's intention in a
game-like interactive task, which effectively eliminates the need of any physical
control from the human's side, efficiently improving the communication between
the user and the virtual agents.
Page 2
In this paper, we introduce our hybrid fuzzy approach: hierarchical fuzzy sig-
nature construction with Levenberg-Marquardt learning of generalised Weighted
Relevance Aggregation Operator (WRAO) for modeling recognition of human
eye-gaze patterns between face scanning and text scanning.
2Hierarchical Fuzzy Signatures
Hierarchical fuzzy signatures are fuzzy descriptors of real world objects. They
represent the objects with the help of sets of available quantities which are
arranged in a hierarchical structure expressing interconnectedness and sets of
non-homogeneous qualitative measures, which are the interdependencies among
the quantities of each set.
The fuzzy signature concept is an effective approach to solve the problem of
rule explosion in traditional fuzzy inference systems: constructing characteristic
fuzzy structures, modeling the complex structure of the data points (bottom up)
in a hierarchical manner [6, 3, 11].
Fuzzy signatures start with a generalized representation of fuzzy sets which
are regarded as Vector Valued Fuzzy Sets (VVFS) [6]. A Fuzzy Signature is a
recursive version of VVFS where each vector can be another VVFS (called a
branch) or a atomic value (called a leaf):
A : X → [ai]k
where ai=
j=1;if branch
[0,1];if leaf
Generally, fuzzy signatures result in a much reduced order of complexity, at
the cost of slightly more complex aggregation techniques. Unlike conventional
rule based hierarchical fuzzy systems, each branch in a fuzzy signature uses a
different aggregation function to represent the importance of that branch to its
parent, which is a final atomic value called "degree of match". Moreover, fuzzy
signatures are different to conventional decision trees as well, they use a bottom
up inference mechanism so that even with missing or noisy input data, this
structure is still able to find a final result.
The fuzzy signature concept has been successfully applied to a number of
applications, such as cooperative robot communication [14], personnel selection
models [8], etc. Figure 1 is an example of a fuzzy signature structure which was
constructed for a SARS pre-clinical diagnosis system [12].
3Levenberg-Marquardt Learning of WRAO for Fuzzy
The Weighted Relevance Aggregation Operator (WRAO) [9] is derived from the
generalisation of the weights and aggregations in Weighted Relevance Aggre-
gation (WRA), which introduces the weighted relevance of each branch to its
Page 3
Fig.1. A Fuzzy Signature Exam-
AnArbitraryFuzzy Signature
higher branches of the fuzzy signature structure. In this way, WRAO is able
to enhance the accuracy of the results of fuzzy signatures by allowing better
adaptation to the meaning of the decision making process [10], and it can help
to reduce the number of individual fuzzy signatures by absorbing more patterns
into one structure.
The generalised Weighted Relevance Aggregation Operator (WRAO) of an
arbitrary branch aq...iwith n sub-branches, aq...i1, aq...i2,..., aq...in∈ [0,1], and
weighted relevancies, wq...i1, wq...i2,..., wq...in∈ [0,1] (see Figure 2), for a fuzzy
signature is a function g: [0,1]2n→ [0,1] such that,
(aq...ij· wq...ij)
The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method is not only a major learning algo-
rithm in neural network training functions, but also a widely used advanced
approach that outperforms simple gradient descent and gradient methods for
solving most of the optimisation based problems. This algorithm is a Sum of
Squared Error (SSE) based minimization method that is the function to be min-
imized is of the following special form [7]:
f (s) =1
(ti− si)2=1
2? t − s ?
where t stands for the target vector, s for the predicted output vector of the
fuzzy signature, and ?? denotes the 2−norm. Also, it will be assumed that there
are m parameters to be learned and n records in the training data set, such that
n > m. The next update of the LM is the following equation:
u[k] = par[k] − par[k − 1](5)
where the vector par[k] contains all the parameters to be learned, i.e. all
the aggregation factors and weights of WRAO in the equation (3) for the kth
iteration. Then the next update of u[k] is defined as:
Page 4
?JT[k]J [k] + αI?u[k] = −JT[k]e[k]
where J stands for the Jacobian matrix of the equation (4), I is the identity
matrix of J, and α is a regularisation parameter, which control both search
direction and the megnitude of the next update u[k].
4Eye Gaze Data Collection
An eye-gaze data collecting experiment was conducted. Ten volunteers (Gender:
5 male, 5 female; Occupation: 2 academic staff, 6 postgraduates, 2 undergrad-
uates) from the Australian National University community participated in the
Two sets of human face pictures, 20 in each, were selected for the face scan-
ning experiment. Another 5 text only documents with different lengths (minimal
half page, maximal one page) were also shown. In the experiment, all the face
pictures and documents were demonstrated as full screen scenes on a monitor.
Every participant was firstly asked to view one set of human face pictures
with about 5 seconds on each. The second stage of the experiment was to read
the 5 text documents to determine which were the most important sentences in
each one, no time restriction was imposed for the reading test so the participants
could conduct the reading with their usual speed. In the ranking of sentences
phase, only 1 participant ranked all the sentences, most participants ranked
only 3 sentences so we conclude that our instructions were interpreted as a text
scanning task. After that, the face scanning test was performed again with the
other set of pictures as the last stage.
There was no time break between any two stages, all the eye movement
data was collected by using Seeingmachines eye-tracking system with FaceLAB
software (Version 4.5, 2007) through the entire session of the experiment.
5 Fuzzy Signature Construction for Recognition of
Eye-gaze Pattern
Since people tend to concentrate their gaze fixations onto the interesting and
informative regions in the scene [13], we further filtered the original collected gaze
points into fixations which offered a much easier and more interpretable form
for the later data process. In addition, instead of considering all the fixations on
each of the test case (either face scanning or document reading), we only use
the first five fixations from every case. The reason for this is that it is possible
to interpret a plausible eye-gaze pattern from the early stage of face viewing
(as early as the first five fixations) [1]. Moreover, the time period for reading a
document was obviously much longer than viewing a face in the data collecting
experiment, so the decision to use only the first five fixations also maintains a
more similar pattern for the future structure construction.
Page 5
Fig.3. Two Samples of First Five Fixations Only Eye-gaze Patterns
To construct the fuzzy signature structure for learning, it is necessary to
figure out which essential feature in both of the possible patterns can show the
difference for recognition. Figure 3 illustrates the first five fixations for two eye-
gaze patterns from face viewing as well as text scanning respectively. The two
cases are obvious samples and this is actually not the usual source in all the data
records we collected in the experiment.
From these two cases, we can easily find the most obvious difference between
them is in the geometrical shapes, which shows that compared with face scan-
ning, participants' gaze fixation locations for text scanning follow a very clear
horizontal pattern. On the other hand, although it is still difficult to address a
common gaze pattern for the face scanning, the plausible pattern has a much
more complicated geometrical shape than the simple form from text scanning,
because the informative regions (eyes, nose, mouth and cheeks, etc) in which an
observer is interested in a face are not aligned horizontally as are the sentences
in a document.
Fig.4. Fuzzy Signature Structure for Eye-gaze Pattern
Page 6
According to the above point, we can further discover that the actually fea-
ture in both of the patterns rests on the vertical difference between two fixations
which are adjacent on time. Consequently, the constructed fuzzy signatures for
the recognition of two patterns can be formed to the structure in Figure 4.
The leaves of each sub-signature in the structure represent the fuzzy value
calculated by using Fuzzy C Mean (FCM) clustering method based on the ver-
tical difference between two adjacent fixations.
6Evaluation and Comparison
According to the constructed fuzzy signature structure for the recognition of
these two different patterns, we performed experiments to learn the weights and
aggregations by applying the Levenberg-Marquardt optimisation method as we
explained in the previous section. The following table shows the results of Mean
Squared Error (MSE) and Classification Error (CLE) for learning the weights of
WRAO for the training and test experiments respectively.
Table 1. Fuzzy Signatures Results for Eye-gaze Pattern Recognition
Experiment Mean Squared Error (MSE) Classification Error (CLE)
We need to clarify that the way we calculate the Classification Error (CLE)
for the fuzzy signature structure is actually based on the degree of difference (d)
between the predicted value and the initial desired value. In our eye-gaze pattern
case, we set three classes according to the degree of difference: Good (|d| ≤ 0.2,
not an error), Bad (0.2 < |d| ≤ 0.5, count 0.5 error) and Very Bad (|d| > 0.5,
count 1 error). So the final classification error rate would be the sum of all the
error numbers divided by the total number of records in the data set.
Table 1 shows that our hybrid fuzzy approach can perform around 80% ac-
curate predictions for the recognition of different eye-gaze patterns between face
and text scanning.
Furthermore, in order to have a performance comparison, the Support Vector
Machines (SVM) [5] based classifier was chosen to run through the same eye-gaze
fixation data set. Since the classification problem here is only for the recognition
between two different eye-gaze patterns, so we constructed a simple SVM based
classifier using the linear kernel to classify the data of vertical difference between
two adjacent fixations as we used in the previous experiment. For our fuzzy
signature structure, we also reduced the number of classes from previous three
(Good, Bad and Very Bad) to two (Good |d| ≤ 0.5 and Bad |d| > 0.5). Table 2
demonstrates the results of the experiments between fuzzy signatures and SVM.
From above results we can see for this particular pattern recognition problem,
the simple SVM based classifier constructed by using a linear kernel gives highly
Page 7
Table 2. CLE Comparison Between Fuzzy Signatures and SVM

accurate classification results. Comparatively, by reducing the number of classes
for the fuzzy signatures from previous three (Good, Bad and Very Bad) to two
(Good |d| ≤ 0.5 and Bad |d| > 0.5)., the classification error rate reduces and is
comparable to that of SVM.
Beyond the results comparison, we also find that the way fuzzy signatures
model the classification problem is different from the way SVM models a classifi-
cation problem. SVM approaches the classifiaction problem through the concept
of margin, that is equal to the smallest distance between the decison boundary
and any of the samples [2]. It computes the maximum margin hyperplane that
best defines the decision boundary. The samples that are closest to the decision
boundary lie on this maximum margin hyperplane and are know as support vec-
tors. Any other sample point in the data set plays no role in the classification
problem and is discarded. Once the decision boundary is known, the new data
points can be classified according to which side of the hyperplane it lies. On the
other hand, the construction of fuzzy signature is based on the expression of the
domain knowledge. Further, both the weight and aggregation learning processes
for WRAO offer us a clear view of what exactly produces the results inside the
structure, for instance, which aggregation functions are learned for each branch.
In addition, the value generated after every aggregation actually represents the
degree of match as the importance of the current branch to its parent, which is
also useful to discover which sub-branch makes the most contribution and which
are not significant factors from the domain for the problem modeling. So fuzzy
signatures provide a more interpretable expression of how well the output of the
structure approaches the target value or classification.
7 Conclusion
A fuzzy signature with a Levenberg-Marquardt learning based hybrid approach
has been introduced for modeling a real world study: recognising human eye-gaze
patterns to distinguish between face scanning and text scanning. The constructed
structure shows significant performance for the recognition in the experiment
From the further discussion of performance comparison with linear SVM, we
suggest that our structure is capable of producing a comparable result for the
classification, but as an effective approach, it can provide a more interpretable
representation signature pattern of a real world object from its construction as
well as the learning process.

hey douqlas please just follow me,bt dont worry i try to readinq ur story.
I've been writing for a long time now: for the challenge, for the fun, for the ability to create whatever and whenever. I've also been wrting for business purposes: For contracts, for teaching leadership, for advertising and for money :-) If you'd like to hear me discussing my books with Pam from Wattpad, please click on the link; http://soundcloud.com/wattpad/consequences-unforeseen-a New Blog Post: http://tmblr.co/Z9HGDyXgDLC9 Lived in many parts of the world and worked in all of them. The global experience is a tremendous benefit for writing and self growth. The main character in my books - Bill Douglas, has been with me my entire life. Like a voice in my head. When lying on a beach in Spain, the voice telling me "there's a story here", or when flying in a small airplane the voice says "go on push it". Constant flow of ideas spoken to me by this guy just wanting to be set free :-) The book sets him free and brings him to life. I joined Wattpad to read other people's stories and books and then decided to post some of my work. The one you are looking at now is part one of a never ending story and I look forward to having many of you read it, enjoy it and ask for more :-) Please, please VOTE and/or COMMENT. I will thrive on your feedback and produce more and better work! For additional fun - the photographs and book cover are places featured in the book. See if you can name them and let me know ;-)

Bogus LinkedIn profiles punt malware to fools
Bogus profiles on social networking website LinkedIn are punting malware to the credulous and starstruck. Fraudulent accounts in the name of celebrities such as Beyoncé Knowles, Victoria Beckham, Salma Hayek and others are littered with links that take surfers to site harbouring malware, Trend Micro reports. The attack - which …
LinkedIn fairly safe
You can accomplish pretty much everything on LinkedIn with JavaScript turned off, so it continues to be a fairly safe site.
Berk is rhyming slang for Berkshire Hunt
... and was judged unparliamentry language some years ago. Please, don't use it. Fuck is fine for me though, carry on ... nothing to see here.
Berk etc.
Akshully, Berkshire Hunt is rhyming slang for C***. Berk is the approved short form version.
Something smells of fish, though......
Hard to imagine?
"It's hard to imagine many (if any) would have been taken in by such a crude and transparently bogus ruse..."
...but then again, I got a nigerian spam yesterday - totally normal, except FROM: was "NIGERIAN SCAMMERS". Seriously.
Not the best place to spread malware...
Surely most people on LinkedIn, which boasts it has the highler echelons of society, would smell a rat when a "celebrity" is using a professional networking site to tout nude pictures?
Apat from which, LinkedIn proactively discourages you from connecting to people you don't already know, so it's quite unlikely you'll be surfing for celebs in the first place.
Not the best place to be spreading malware.

Considering Chrysler was one of the first auto companies to offer a factory electronic ignition, it makes sense that these Mopar Performance electronic distributors can give you a high-performance advance curve with OEM reliability. Their electronic guts give you an accurate, maintenance-free spark, and their adjustable vacuum advance provides decent fuel economy and better part throttle response on the street. Combine one of these distributors with a Mopar Performance electronic control unit, and you'll have a solid high-performance ignition, backed by Chrysler engineering. They include a cap and rotor.

False, according to William Byrd High School students who proclaimed themselves modern-day abolitionists Tuesday as part of a nationwide campaign aimed at calling attention to and ending human trafficking.
Called Globalize 13, the curriculum from the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives commemorates the upcoming 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment while also raising awareness about modern-day slavery in the form of human trafficking.
An art display about human trafficking and resource tables about what students can do were set up in the gym.
[] she said her students have taken ownership of the project, spending long hours researching companies who use slave labor and deciding to boycott brands and write letters to corporations.
A new report published by the Walk Free Foundation, a human rights group trying to end modern slavery, states 35.8 million people are enslaved.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, because human trafficking happens underground it can be hard to identify and get an accurate picture of just how widespread it is.
Russell said the idea of people being in forced labor is repulsive and consumers have to be aware of what companies are doing to make their products.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the state on Friday was $2.73, down 3 cents from last week.
Analysts say the lower prices are mostly due to abundant global oil production that has led to falling crude oil prices.
1. Obama quietly approves expanded U. S. role in AfghanistanOver the past few weeks, President Barack Obama reportedly gave the go-ahead on new guidelines for U. S. missions in Afghanistan. The new orders will not affect the number of U. S. troops stationed in the country — total American forces in Afghanistan are expected to be lowered to 9,800 by the end of 2014 — but they will impact the scope of the remaining troops' missions.

text: WLOS News13 Weather The next round of wintry weather begins after sunset for the higher elevations as a clipper-like system rolls into the region. This system may bring colder temperatures than the one this morning, but it lacks big time when it comes to moisture. I expect accumulations of 1 to 3" in higher elevations across many Tennessee border counties. For valley areas over Buncombe Co., flurries to a burst or two of light snow is possible with nothing to a dusting in terms of accumulations by tomorrow morning.Your Thanksgiving will certainly be colder with temperatures in the lower 40s and winds gusting over 20 miles per hour! This will create wind chill temperatures in the 20s much of the day, so prepare to bundle up!Black Friday will begin cold as well with temperatures in the 20s. I only expect highs in the mid 40s Friday underneath mostly sunny skies. This coming weekend will bring a significant warmup to the region with highs in the 60s by Sunday!Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!You can follow me on Twitter here for more weather updates: https://twitter.com/JasonBoyerChief MeteorologistJason Boyer Weather Maps Almanac Watches & Warnings Local Temps Regional Satellite & Radar East Coast Radar National Temps Carolinas Satellite & Radar Weather Spotter Ten Day Forecast

Jim Beauregard's Tasting Notes: Beauregard samples Beauregard
I wondered about this when I received an email from the Beauregards of California a few weeks ago — the owners of Beauregard vineyards, that is. It is their wine we are talking about today.
The Beauregards farm three vineyards. The Bald Mountain vineyard, planted in 1990 is 40 acres at 1,050 feet above sea level, facing southwest, maximizing sun exposure. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are planted here. Nora's Vineyard is all Pinot Noir, 17 acres at 1,300 feet. Lastly, the Beauregard Ranch vineyard was originally vineyard and apple orchard, planted in the 1990s as well, 1700-plus feet above the Pacific, and is home to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and four acres of Cabernet Sauvignon.

text: Expectations always ride high when it comes to any new 3 Series, and the sixth-generation BMW 3 Series is no exception. The new 3 Series sedan enters with all the bells and whistles you could expect in an entry-level luxury car. It's a meticulous evolution of its predecessors with considerable changes under its hood. But mind you, it is not just any upgrade, but a new benchmark redefining the premium car category. Backed by 36 years of history and five generations of a car, the new 3 Series comes with attributes that sets it apart from its predecessors. It is faster, bigger, better, and certainly sportier than before. But genetically, the car remains the same.

Nov 14, 2013I've been playing every simulators since more than 10 years and I've seen lots of interesting simulations in the past, all with their own charm. Assetto Corsa raise the bar by providing the fun of Live for Speed, the moduling of rFactor, the laser scanned tracks of Iracing with the career mode of any AAA racing game on consoles. Most of these features are not in the game yet as the early release is of course Beta which means you get the game without all it's final feature earlier at a discount price. Did I mentionned AC have a license for Ferrari cars? Plenty of games in the past had Ferraris and high brands but this is the very first time I actually have the feeling of driving one of these cars. You can play the game using a gamepad (with thumbstick!) but for the most immersive feeling, a proper wheel is highly recommended. You might see some people online bashing the game without even trying it. Most of these trolls are fanboys of other racing games and simply cannot accept than something much more realistic does exist. Don't listen to them, give it a try yourself. This is a must buy for any serious simulation fan. I hope this review helped you a little… Expand
Nov 14, 2013It is on early access right now and already looking very promising. The content so far plays very smoothly and the handling is good, although a bit drift happy. The road to the 10 will be taken by the quality of the story mode (most likely to be released when it is out of early access.) I am very excited how it will turn out.
Nov 16, 2013This is finally one good PC racing sim game. Havent had this enjoyment in a long time while playing a PC racing game. To be honest with you people i got quite bored by them lately...im sick of HUD filled with useless crap. Im sick of fake speeds by using overexcessive blur, NFS arcade crap. Im sick of all that. I want PC platform own Forza/Gran Turismo! and that is called Assetto Corsa.
Assetto Corsa truly woke up the racing desire in me! One would say AC has good points but ignores others. I am amazed that Kunos managed to really make an almost perfect racing sim for PC!
Right now it's EARLY ACCESS BETA. But they stated that when the game goes FINAL and beyond, they will finalize AI, multiplayer, add damage model features, a career mode and some other exclusive contents.
Anyway what i liked in Assetto Corsa :
- overall great controls for a racing simulator game. These italian guys use exact vehicle data from car makers such as Ferrari, Lotus, Pagani, BMW, you name it. Handling data files are even encrypted as requested by car makers. So it's 100% guaranteed that the car you drive, will behave the same as the real life car.
- the graphics are simply amazing! car models/interiors are on par with Forza 4 or GT5. The scenery looks great too.
- good optimization. The game runs and looks great on medium PC's.
- the sound design is sweet. From the car engines, the tires, the exhaust pipe back, the wind while going at high speeds, to the little rocks hitting the car body when going of-course. Very good job on the sound too.
- developers stated that they will continue to support this game with DLC´s years from now on.
- laser technology scanned tracks which is the most authentic method for making a track in-game.
- TRACK IR support
- Oculus Rift support
- replays support
- Forza showroom mode like
- and probably the best feature. MODS SUPPORT! people already started making their own car models, car skins, sounds, UI modifications, even new tracks for AC, you name it. (Not to mention they can simply import other cars from other games). So dont be surprised if one day you will see a car from Forza 4 added to Assetto Corsa by the modding community.
Finally a PC racing sim that caught my attention. No wonder the developers said they had a great launch on Steam. The game is simply superb. Thank you Kunos for releasing Assetto Corsa for PC! looking forward … Expand
Nov 16, 2013ISI might as well give up developing rFactor 2. Even after 5 more years they couldn't match what Assetto Corsa has already done in Early Access. The User Interface alone makes rFactor look like Super Puke Brothers on the NES. rFactor 2 is not available on Steam, uses an ancient renderer and is years behind schedule. ISI do a very poor job of advertising and nobody even knows what rFactor is. But if your graphics card can only handle DX9, you will have to settle for that.
Assetto Corsa will be the leading racing simulation for years to come.… Expand
Feb 28, 2014Please bare in mind that my review is of the game in current stage (version 0.7, 2-28-2014).
This is not a 100% perfect game yet, but I recommend it to ALL of the fans of sim-racing, because it clearly is already one of the best racing simulators that has ever appeared. Physics is the top of the notch and is created by Kunos, with experience from NKP which was a masterpiece as well. The game is going to improve more over the time, and we shall wait for the final release.… Expand
Nov 21, 2013O simulador simplesmente sensacional. A física reage da forma esperada constantemente. O comportamento docarro sempre natural e proporciona um tocada real. A vontade de permanecer na pista volta após volta. De fato o Assetto Corsa o melhor simulador do mercado.
Nov 22, 2013the best racing sim on pc bar none.
amazing physics give a fantastic feel from youy wheels to the track
amazing force feedback on my Logitech dfgt great graphics beautiful car models laser scanned tracks
equally good ui massive mod surport.
for me this is a must own and the perfect sim for any race fan.
a good wheel is a must though to get the most out of it.
Nov 24, 2013Wow, just WOW, what an amazing experience, the physics are perfect, the cars are minutely detailed, The replays are like nothing I've ever seen, Get this game now before it is £50
Nov 26, 2013Soulless, no sensation of speed and acceleration. 'Everyday cars' feels like boats, F1 has no acceleration at all.
Very disappointed. A simulation shouldn't be lifeless.
Nov 3, 2014Shallow low content game. MP is a joke, it doesn't work properly, servers are passworded or empty. AI is very dumb and is not aware of you, just going their line. No leaderboards. This game is good only for hotlapping, but for how long you will play alone, without AI, friends and even without the leaderboards?
Graphics are outdated. Physics are good on some cars, but others handle like they're on ice. controller support is a joke, wheel is a must for this game if you want to play it.
And it looks like that the reviews are bought. Where are the english reviews?… Expand
Dec 1, 2013The early release of Assetto Corsa has satiated the long awaiting sim community, with the beta and biweekly content and sim updates keeping everyone satisfied. The physics are acclaimed as the best and spending time with each car you will appreciate the nuances of the physics with each vehicle. The force feedback, after logging a solid amount of hours, is appreciable with subtle feelings still surprising me.
The graphics speak for them self, crisp, clean and easy on the eye. The tracks accurately modelled and replicated from laser scan data. A great core, weather the small team at KUNOS Simulazioni can build it in to a successful sim racing (game), we will have to wait.
Now, I'll go back to amazing myself with the Zonda at Mugello.… Expand
Dec 2, 2013Probably the best Simulation game on PC.
Physics and FFB are amazing, graphics really nice and very well optimized for an early access game.
I'm waiting for AI and multiplayer to give a complete advice, but the driving sensation is already amazing.
Jul 6, 2014It's good for simulation , but bad for game
too much mouse control
too much Lotus (no more plz)
bad race line (close it)
slow development progress
but it's still fun , if you are simulation race player
the best simulation Ferrari
awesome engine wave
Jun 28, 2014I'm giving this game an 8, this is everything a forza fan for the pc should want.
It has the best physics and graphics for a racing simulator on the pc and it also now has multiplayer which is a lot of fun but with that said its lacking in content, it really need more cars and tracks.
So for a early access game it has a lot of potential.
Jul 27, 2014Realistic physics, Good graphics, Real Cars, Real Tracks, KS EDITOR for importing community made tracks and cars! This is a must for every fan or real driving simulation! ASSETTO CORSA follows the new way of Continuous Improvement, and not a continuous profit over little or no improvement like other simulators.
Aug 16, 2014I give it a passing grade on physics and feel but as a functioning simulation game it fails horribly.Despite saying updates every 2wks(not a maybe or should be),nothing of the sort..no real good tracks ,hardly any cars..lots of repeats though with a gtc or s here and there..and multiplayer is a damn farce.If your looking for a great racing sim to unwind on the internet with and feel satisfied after racing(even when losing..lol) then this is NOT the sim for you.… Expand
Dec 9, 2013Not really sure how a criticism for the lack of acceleration is valid. There is only one F1 car and that is a 1969 Lotus 49, which is easily outperformed by many of the other cars. The car which "looks" like a modern F1 car is not and it nowhere near as powerful as an F1. For me it's probably the most beatiful and realistic car sims I have ever seen. I think that detractors would be wanting an arcade game with lots of motion blur. Not sure how many people will drive the Ararth, but the Lotus 49 wow. Can't wait for the Ferrari 312T and the Lotus Turbo F1 car.… Expand
Dec 16, 2013This game isn't done yet, there is no AI, 7 tracks and 12 cars... but I cannot leave it alone I have played all Gran Turismo games and all Forza games and I love all of them. But this, this is something else. The sound of the cars are near perfect. The physics are what dreams are made of. On a decent PC it looks better that Forza 5. I can't wait for more updated and DLC.
Jan 5, 201410/10 WOW feels just like Forza 4 did but even better I think, drifting is amazingly realistic like Forza 4 was. Graphics are really good as well. This game is as good as forza and gt for sure AND IT IS A PC GAME!!! FINALLY PC racers have a good all around race sim game that's fun for even the non race sim gamers! There is no MP yet option still grey, other than the MP hot lap mod that is great fun.
I cant help but think wow this is early access... its so good already!… Expand
Jan 26, 2014This title is the true continuation of the stellar physics engine and force feedback that was the mark of NetKar Pro. This time, however the graphics has been greatly improved, and there are regular releases of updates, not many bugs, so overall it's a much better experience already.
If the multiplayer will be done with the same care, this will be the best sim out there, bar none.
I(ce)racing does not even come close in feel and simulation accuracy.
Keep in mind it's still under development, not all the content and features are in, yet!… Expand
Jan 28, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kunos Simulazioni has put in very hard work to create something like this especially in early access or alpha version. I think the game will advance after every single version developers will made so that Assetto Corsa will become a perfect PC simulator game. I also love that the developers includes 114 Steam achievements in the game so far.
Overall driving physics and especially drifting is amazing, I have not enjoyed something like that. Sound also is mind-blowing. I will be honest, currently I play the pirate version. I am saving money to purchase legal version of Assetto Corsa. I recommend it to everyone who loves sports, simulation and racing games.… Expand
Mar 26, 2014Driving model is phenomenal. Very good optimization. Model driving you do not need to learn, works almost like in reality. You can move and drive 300 km / h, to first braking.:)
Mar 27, 2014After nearly 30 Years of Computer Racing und Simracing i must say this Simulator is the best Drive experience i ever made. This is more a Virtual Garage with Dreamcars as a Game. Maybe some people misunderstand this Product otherwise i cant understand why anybody give a Negative vote.
Jun 28, 2014Best racing sim ever. That's just it, even in this early access stage with poor multiplayer, ai, collisions and no external damages, you have the best physics, the most realistic virtual reproduction of tracks and cars and the best feeling while driving, both using a professional race wheel or a gamepad. Nothing less than excellent. It's a really deserved 10 out of 10 for me.
Jul 24, 2014As the game is only in early access we can't judge it to a full extent. But what Kunos done here is incredible. All the cars feel super real (playing with G27, which takes some time to setup). The FFB in the game is a dream! Tracks look good, cars look and sound gorgeous! And the community is very active, supportive and creative: adding tracks like famous Nordschleife or Suzuka. I'd say probably the best physics car simulator there is at the moments. The only possible rival is upcoming "project CARS". And though the game doesn't offer the same car/track variety as GT6/Forza, it's the physics that makes you want to play it.
Would say it's a must for all racing fans and enthusiasts.
Decent practice if you're going to some track In real life.
We can only hope that Kunos will complete the game and realize their vision of it. And the game won't hang too long in Early access.… Expand
Oct 17, 2014(version 1.003)
sublime tyres physic, best in class;
improved and scalable graphic;
best force feedback ever;
laser scan tracks are almost perfect;
high level sound;
damage system is not complete yet
no weather conditions
poorly structured career system
A.I. is wildly improvable
Oct 22, 2014Kunos Simulazioni came under a lot of criticism from me for their previous title NetKar Pro but they have obviously leaned from that experience as Assetto Corsa is an outstanding racing simulation. Sim fans will argue about who has the best tyre modelling, most accurate tracks, best physics, graphics etc but Assetto Corsa has managed to take all that and package it up in one great racing sim. DX11, laser scanned tracks, sublime tyre modelling and physics and solid online play in my opinion make this the sim to beat.
On top of the regular developer created content Asetto Corsa already has a lively modding scene making third party tracks and cars so the future is really bright for this sim and I don't doubt I'll still be playing this in years to come.… Expand
Oct 29, 2014best simulator available, best simulator available, best simulator available, best simulator available, best simulator available, best simulator available ,best simulator available
Nov 1, 2014tl;dr If you enjoy driving cars, AC should be the no1 game in your collection.
I've spent thousands of hours in sim (and arcade) racing. I've played almost every game with cars in it, from Outrun and Sega Rally to IRacing. Until last year I wouldn't touch anything except Live for Speed for my sim racing sessions. I like it because it is realistic and very enjoyable at the same time. Then, I learned about Assetto Corsa and my mind was blown! It has such natural feel in its ffb that I felt like my G25 was magically converted to a professional servo wheel or something! The graphics are top notch, the tracks are laser-scanned, the cars are flawless... The mod-scene is strong too, featuring some great cars, tracks and applications. I almost have 1000 hours play time and many great mp races to remember.… Expand
Sep 21, 2014The game is a joke. They actually want you to pay to play an unfinished product. Scam. Nothing else. Do not waste your time or money on this joke of a game.
Oct 16, 2014One of the best driving Simulator on the PC in in my Opinion better than pCars.
The graphics is not so good but its enough.
But the Physic is Awesome and the best i think.
Nov 26, 2014The fate of Assetto Corsa seems pretty clear: unless there are blatant reversals, we find ourselves in front of what will be, for the next few years, the benchmark for driving simulations and modders on PC.
Oct 28, 2014Assetto Corsa is a shining masterpiece of virtual motorsport, a new standard for the future of driving simulators and an all-Italian pride.
Oct 16, 2014Assetto Corsa is a wonderful racing simulator, inheriting the technical proficiency of Simbin's GTR 2 and rFactor modding attitude. And bringing them both to a new level.

Federal court buys into SpaceX argument that rival's ties could violate Russian sanctions
Send this to a friend
- Jill R. Aitoro
- Senior Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
It's official: Competition between two major space launch companies in the United States has gotten ugly — and embroiled in international politics.
On Thursday, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued a preliminary injunction that essentially halts a U.S. Air Force award to United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. The court's decision was in response to a complaint filed April 28 by Space Exploration Technologies Corp.(SpaceX), which claimed the award violated fair competition and federal sanctions — given that ULA partners with a Russian rocket supplier.
Both ULA, based in Centennial, Colorado, and SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, California, provide spacecraft launch services to NASA and the Pentagon.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced Friday his company's decision to protest the award, saying that the Boeing-Lockheed partnership "deserves to have a spotlight on it. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
The court agreed, pointing to the fact that the Russian supplier, NPO Energomash, is a corporation owned and controlled by the Russian government. Dmitry Rogozin, deputy prime minister of Russia and head of the Russian defense industry, is currently blocked from receiving any property from the U.S. thanks to a March 16 executive order from President Barack Obama.
Given that relationship, the court issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the Air Force and ULA from making any purchases from or payments of money to NPO Energomash or any entity subject to Rogozin's control. That injunction will stay in place until the court receives the opinions of the departments of Treasury, Commerce and State that any such purchases or payments will not violate the executive order.
"SpaceX's attempt to disrupt a national security launch contract so long after the award ignores the potential implications to our National Security and our nation's ability to put Americans on board the International Space Station," said Kevin MacCary, ULA's general counsel, in a released statement. "Just like ULA, NASA and numerous other companies lawfully conduct business with the same Russian company, other Russia state-owned industries and Russian Federation agencies. This opportunistic action by SpaceX appears to be an attempt to circumvent the requirements imposed on those who seek to meet the challenging launch needs of the nation and to avoid having to follow the rules, regulations and standards expected of a company entrusted to support our nation's most sensitive missions."
Beyond the Russian connection, Musk has been very vocal about the lack of competition under the Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program, claiming that ULA has a virtual monopoly. SpaceX is in the process of going through a new Air Force certification process that could eventually enable it to compete for contracts under the program, but that won't be completed for a few months.

I just recently played through Episode 2 and I am stuck on Chapter 7 in the showdown with Brenda. I have tried every solution mentioned on the forums. I have tried the following 'solutions' but none have had any success:
I have used the rewind function to go back to Chapter 6.
I have tried inching my way forward toward Brenda.
I have tried inching my way forward by flicking the stick and then quickly pulling the LS back.
I have inched forward and waited 10 seconds before inching forward again.
I have tried inching forward and spamming the 'X' button as I go.
No matter what I try, I cannot get the dialogue box to appear. My controller is brand new, so it cannot be responsible for this problem. I have been trying desperately to get this to work, as I absolutely loved this series before this happened.
Thank you for your time,
EDIT: I just deleted and reinstalled the game and it worked.

He is a 30 year old, 15.2 hand Quarterhorse Gelding. My friend and I rescued him over a year ago from neglect. He was skin and bones, now he is a very happy boy. JJ is the beginner lesson horse, anyone can ride. He is purely western, is very push button and does what you ask. This is truly an amazing horse.
Max is a 21 year old Palamino gelding. He loves children and is a dream to ride! He is eager to please and is very smooth.
Charley is a 15 year old, 15 hand Quarterhorse Gelding and built like a tank! He is a very funny, very sweet boy. He has comfortable gaits and loves to ride.
Sadly we lost Charley on February 3 of 2014. He will forever be in our hearts.

Big Ben is a 21 year old Quarterhorse gelding. Ben was originally from Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede dinner show in Orlando. After they closed, he did camps and kids lessons for a few years. Now he joins our family and he is so sweet. He is 15.1 hands, nice slow comfortable gaits. He loves attention!
Meet Hank, the Dun Quarterhorse gelding. He is 22 years old and 13.2 hands high. Hank goes on trails and also gives lessons to the kids. He is a cute little guy and loves attention.
