I needed to grab a 12 mile run on my vacation and was looking for a relatively flat route. This was it! I picked up the path at S. Stage Rd and ran to the end in Ashland. The path is well-maintained with any cracks or bumps marked with bright spray paint. The path passes several parks and parking areas with restrooms and water fountains. I think I passed a total of three point to point. The trail was well marked except for the final turn into the neighborhood in Ashland where it picks up a different trail to conclude.
We started the bike ride at MP27 in Central Point at the newly-built Southern Oregon RV Park at the fairgrounds. We turned around at MP16.
Except for a couple of areas with root heaves which were marked with paint, the asphalt trail was in very good condition. The trail is relatively flat and runs along Bear Creek. This section of the trail is not particularly scenic and parts of the trail parallel I-5. At some points, the trail even runs underneath freeway overpasses. There are a couple of nice parks along the way – Hawthorne Park, Bear Creek Park and the very large US Cellular Sports Park. Most of the parks mentioned have water and restrooms.
The sad part of this section of the trail is the number of homeless and transient encampments on the trail. People are living under the underpasses and along the river. No one bothered us and I heard that the cities along the trail sweep through the area on a regular basis and cleanup all the garbage left behind and try to break up the encampments.
Overall, I would recommend this ride if you are in the area.
Walked all but .5 miles of this trail yesterday, starting at the Rogue River Rest Stop (where you can park for four hours for free). The beginning of the trail (starting at the rest stop) is shaded and the paved trail runs alongside the camp grounds. There is a secondary gravel trail that runs right along the bank of the river for about 2 miles. It is not accessible for bikes but is easy to walk and has a lot of access to the river. At just about the 2 mile mark (again starting from the rest stop) the shade ends! We did not encounter any shaded areas for the last half of the trail which is why we turned back before finishing. It got way to hot with the sun directly on us and heat radiating up from the asphalt. It was still a great walk, lots of cyclists were out and it was beautiful. Would do it again, only this time I will be prepared for shade only on the first half.
We started in Ashland (had trouble finding the start of the trail and where to park at first) and rode to Medford and back. I would say about 85% was very enjoyable and nice scenery. The other 15% was a little sketchy, but not enough to recommend against it.
Rode this section today and found it very pleasant. The first two miles have some repair going on and more root heave than the North half. The trail detours at Fern Valley Rd. due to construction but is easily navigated. After the detour, the asphalt is in good to excellent condition with a stretch of new concrete between mile nine and ten. There is much less traffic noise on this half. I would recommend riding southward first when doing an out and back, due to the gradual uphill grade traveling south.
Rode this today and enjoyed it thoroughly. The asphalt is in excellent condition and the scenery is great considering it's urban setting. The trail is completely paved now contrary to what their brochures say.
I would have rated it higher if not for the large amount of traffic noise in certain areas.
If you like coffee, stop at Bad *** Coffee Company. They have 100% Kona which is very hard to find.
Even though there was a little rain, I enjoyed this very scenic ride along the Rogue River very much. I'm looking forward to riding it again in the summer.
One of the best leisure rides with wildlife, creeks and shops to refresh along the way. However it's best to avoid the trail from medford south to central point (too many bums/druggies hang out around there), but medford to Ashland is sublime. I've been riding it over 8 years.
The Greenway has since had major work done on it; there are only about two rough spots on the path near the Phoenix portion. The rest is as smooth as glass. This is a great cycling trail especially if you don't want to deal with traffic during the weekdays to use the numerous backroads in Jackson County. It gets more important as one gets older and doesn't want to deal with cars as much. I am hoping someday the foundation finally gets this Greenway connected with the Rogue River one so that there is a nonstop bike trail from Ashland to Grants Pass.
Transients aren't any bigger a deal here than anywhere else the country. I've never had trouble with them or with other people. And yes, police do patrol this Greenway; I have seen them numerous times. It's no more unsafe than other bike trails in the country.
I rode a portion of this trail today and was apprehensive from reading the reviews but would like to share what I experienced today. I rode to Phoenix from Ashland and had a very nice ride. The trail was not bad really. The few spots that were mark we're okay. It appears sections have been worked on and new cement poured that made it nice. Didn't encounter any transients along the way and going by the trailer park was not bad. A couple of people out on their patios were quite friendly. These folks are doing the best they can with what they got and I admire their efforts. There were several riders out today and very friendly. I don't know what the trail is like beyond Phoenix but the part I did today was pleasant. There were several walkers as well. I hope more folks can share their experiences so that the trail gets used. Yes you do go along a section next to I5 but it isn't that long. The short part on 99 was okay too. No complaints.
Traveling up or down I-5? Want a break? Want to ride something?
Here is a scenic little four mile trail with one end at the Depot St. Bridge in Rogue River and the other just beyond the Valley of the Rogue State Park rest area. In between it runs through the meadows below the Valley of the Rogue campground loops, then dives into the brush between the river and the freeway and winds around and up and down to the trail end at the new Depot St. Bridge.
This bit of newly paved trail is the first installment on a long term project - the Rogue River Greenway. The plan is to build a bike trail from Grants Pass to Central Point to join the Bear Creek Greenway in Medford. That would make quite a long destination trail - but assembling the right of way will take years. Meanwhile, head for the Depot St. Bridge in Rogue River and cross over, turn right and enter the...
Here is the best trailhead. Lots of parking, restrooms, water, tourist information office, picnic tables, river views and - if you have luck - covered parking beneath the bridge with a view of the boat launch (always run to watch).
TB surveyed this trail in several parts owing to the wretched weather that seems to follow him north on the spring migration. One season he spent some time below the bridge making tea while the rains sluiced down on both sides. Too wet to ride. The next season he got in a ride from the bridge up into the park campground. The following season he surveyed down from the eastern trailhead to connect the dots.
If the weather is with you, ride out from under the bridge, cross over it and turn left. You will make a downhill loop to the dedication plaza and then on to some dry under-bridge viewing of the river and trailhead on the far shore. On the near shore is a stump carved into a pair of salmon. Ride on.
The trail enters a twisty section through the woods that climbs and falls for a bit over a mile. It then exits the woods and enters the meadows of the Valley of the Rogue State Park. Here are wide views of the valley. What you don't get are views of the river. Too much brush in the way. There is a ped trail that goes along the river edge in the park if you are hunting river views.
The trail passes under the western most campground loops, then turned away from the river to head for the park road by the freeway. Here begins the bike lane bit. There is a quarter mile of bike lane and then the trail heads for the river again, passing under A loop and around the end of…
Here is your eastern trailhead – the rest area. Plenty of parking, picnic tables, restrooms, water, shade – but no overhead cover. The trail crosses the access road to the east of the parking area. It then circles below the freeway bridges, crosses the highway and ends just short of the RR tracks. Ride done. Now you can retrace your route to the bridge.
Trike on,
Searching for dry riding weather in the NorthWet.
I have ridden almost the entire lenght of the trail and I have some words of caution: The trail has been poorly maintained in numerous spots, with tree roots pushing up and creating rough spots. Someone has circled these areas in painted green and as most are in shaded areas, the rider is upon the rough spots without warning. To an inexperienced rider, this could result in loss of control of the bike. More importantly, the trail winds through a park like setting for about a mile in downtown Medford. This is where the transients hang out. These people pose a threat to anyone coming by on a bike: they will not move out of the way; the vast majority are either drunk or on drugs; some are either lying in the bike path or right along side of it; and you will note a varied assortment of beer/wine containers on the path with some broken glass. I highly recommend carrying either mace or pepper spray. When approaching this area, I would recommend you place the spray in an easily accessible area, preferably either around your neck or in a pocket and be ready to use it. If you are female, I would highly recommend you travel with more than one person. As a male, I ride through the area with both hands on the bars and I never ever make eye contact with these people - you are inviting trouble if you do. I am told the MPD mades periodic visits and chases them out, however, I have yet to see any Police presence. On the North end of the trail as it crossed back to the East and follows I-5 North, (I am traveling South to North) there is a bridge crossing a small stream. There is a huge hole in the middle of the bridge that someone has painted in florescent red paint to alert an approaching rider. If you were to hit that hole, it is wide enough and deep enough to collapse a wheel. On the South end of the trail near Ashland be aware of 'goat heads' along the trail. These are thorns that will destroy tires in a heartbeat. In summary, this could be a very nice trail, similiar to the trail along the Spokane River or the Trail of the Cour d'alene's, but its over all condition is not good. I would advise anyone traveling in or around Medford to use the roadways as there are a lot of bike lanes which are maintained and some fabulous scenery through the wine country and orchards.

pgxnclient install http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/3274/plproxy-2.4.tar.gzThis downloads, unpacks, builds, and installs. And the module doesn't need to be on PGXN. And of course you don't have to use HTTP; a file system location will work as well. I think this can be very useful, especially during development, when not everything is available in packaged form, or even for deployment, if you don't want to bother packaging everything and have been installing from source anyway.

Department spokesperson Laura Copeland told the Local Tuesday that the work is to replace water mains in the area and that the work would last through March of 2013. Residents should expect no disruption of service, she said. If there is a need for turning service off, Copeland said residents would receive at least a day's notice. — Pete Mazzaccaro

1-47) White Sox: Keenyn Walker, OF, Central Arizona JC: Blazing speed and greatly improved hitting skills, along with a solid glove, push him to the top of the White Sox draft list. I like Walker a LOT and he was on my list of players who could go earlier than expected. He's got some risk, but the reward could be huge.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
What's the difference an inch can make? At one underpass in Durham, North Carolina, it means either having an uneventful commute or getting the top of your vehicle peeled off in a loud and violent can-opener-type crash.
Big signs and flashing yellow lights alert drivers that the railroad trestle at Gregson and Peabody streets is 11 feet and 8 inches tall. Some drivers don't see these signs or choose to ignore them. That's inevitably a mistake. About once a month, the neighborhood's birds are shaken from their roost by the booming echo of the trestle whittling a too-tall truck down to the proper height.
Recognizing the potential for rich cinéma vérité, a local man named Jürgen Henn has taken it upon himself to act as the official videographer of this panel-crumpling bridge. On his YouTube channel, he's compiled dozens of wince-worthy scalpings; he also maintains a website, 11 Foot 8, where he attempts to answer all questions related to this nightmare of traffic-infrastructure logistics.
For instance, if you're wondering why this ridiculous bridge exists in the first place, Henn says, "This train trestle is about 100 years old. At the time when it was built, there were no standards for minimum clearance." Why not just lower the road, then? Because there's a sewer main directly underneath. And as to why nobody's fixed the damn thing, he explains:
Norfolk Southern Railroad owns the train trestle, and their concern is primarily with keeping the trains running and keeping them running safely. So their concern is mainly with reducing the impact of the truck crashes on the actual structure of the train trestle. As far as they are concerned, they solved that problem by installing the crash beam.
The city of Durham has installed "low clearance" signs on each of the 3 blocks leading up to the trestle (Gregson is a one-way road). There is a "overheight when flashing" sign with flashing lights that are triggered by vehicles that are too tall. Several blocks ahead of the trestle the speed limit is 25 MPH. The folks from the city planning department said that they made an effort to prevent accidents.
The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation maintains the road, but not the signage. I suspect they have much bigger problems to deal with statewide than this bridge.
The below video is a fan tribute to Henn's dogged documentary efforts edited into a Rocky montage. For Western fans, there's also a shorter Ennio Morricone remix:

Architects and planners have an obligation to protect health, safety and welfare through the spaces we design. As the George Floyd protests reveal, we've failed.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.
U.S. cities are now seeing the critical role that public space plays during a crisis. But severe budget cuts are looming. Can investing in parks be part of the urban recovery?
Often ranked as one of the deadliest cities in America, Camden, New Jersey, ended 2017 with its lowest homicide rate since the 1980s.
A new report fleshes out the controversial demand to cut police department budgets and reallocate those funds into healthcare, housing, jobs, and schools. Will that make communities of color safer?

COLTON >> Tom Dennie stood by his wife and smiled as four officers bearing medals approached and hugged him in City Council chambers Tuesday night.
His reaction was understandable. The officers are credited with helping save Dennie's life.
"We didn't know going into it that he was going to be there, but he showed up and it was really special," said Colton police Detective Ray Mendez.
Dennie, a California Institution for Men officer who was shot in the head during an attempted robbery at a Colton gas station in May, continues to receive rehabilitation and was using a metal cane at the meeting. But Colton police Sgt. Steve Davis, one of the four officers who rescued him, said he is getting better.
Davis said Dennie recognized him when he went to a Costco store about two weeks ago. Dennie was in a wheelchair at the time.
"I know he's improved drastically since the incident," Davis said.
Davis, along with Officers Greg Castillo and Mike Collins, and Cpl. Gary Gruenzner received the Police Department's Lifesaving Medal at the City Council meeting.
Castillo, Collins and Davis were the first to arrive at the Shell gas station in the 2700 block of Iowa Avenue on May 2 after Dennie was shot by two suspected gang members.
"We saw that it was a pretty severe wound and we made the decision to swoop him up and take him to the hospital ourselves," Davis said.
Officers loaded Dennie into Davis' squad car and took him to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. Gruenzner alerted emergency room staff at the hospital that a wounded law enforcement officer was being brought in.
Police Chief Steve Ward also credited other officers who were on shift at the time, dispatchers, Riverside police, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol and Santa Fe Railroad police with helping in the case.
"The quick response and immediate actions on the part of the officers and medical staff are credited with saving Tom Dennie's life," Ward said.
The officers were also honored during the California Correctional Peace Officers' Association conference in July for their actions.
Tim Busby, warden at CIM in Chino, thanked the officers for helping Dennie.
"The word hero gets thrown around loosely, but not in this case. These gentlemen are heroes," he said.
The suspects, Christopher Marquez, 24, and Anthony Gomez Jr., 31, both Riverside residents, were arrested in Riverside about three hours after the shooting. They are scheduled to appear in San Bernardino Superior Court on Oct. 21 for a hearing.

The House adjourned Friday at its earliest date before an election, finishing legislative business 46 days before Election Day.
Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder (R) gaveled out the day's last vote at 12:12 p.m. on Friday afternoon, marking a historic moment for the House of Representatives, which has not adjourned this early before an election in over 50 years.
All told, lawmakers gathered for a grand total of eight legislative days since leaving for their annual summer break in early August. Those eight days all took place this month, following the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.
House members leave Washington with major business left unfinished, too. No progress was made on undoing the so-called "fiscal cliff," the combination of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to spring into place in January. And lawmakers went home to campaign for re-election without having resolved their differences to pass a farm bill.
The historic nature of the adjournment was not lost on House Democrats, who held an event to chastise Republicans for "cutting and running" in the face of some of the largest economic issues facing our country in decades.
"This is simply irresponsible, and Republicans ought to come back and finish their work, not cut and run and walk away from the American people," House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said at the event, "Shame on them, shame on them for abandoning our farmers, our economy, and families that need us to act."
The harsh reality of adjourning today is that Congress will have more work to do during its lame duck session – the time between an election and the inauguration of the next Congress – than in any post-election session in recent history. The laundry list of items that needs to be dealt with has been deemed the "fiscal cliff," simply because if Congress does not act the US economy will likely plunge back into recession according to most economists.
Included in the items that Congress needs to act on is the Bush-era tax cuts, which are scheduled to expire at the end of the year. Congress also needs to decide what to do about automatic, across-the-board, cuts that are scheduled to take place on January 2nd as a result of the failure of the supercommittee.
Congress will also need to pass a farm bill before year's end, and lawmakers will have to decide whether they want to extend the payroll tax cut for another year, even though all indications are that they will let that expire.
But instead of dealing with these issues before the November elections, there has been no tangible toward compromise by either side, and Republicans in the House have been focusing more on messaging bills that they can cite while campaigning back home in their districts.
Among those messaging bills was a Republican resolution passed Thursday to condemn what they allege is President Obama's waiver of welfare reform's work requirements. Even Republican vice presidential nominee Rep Paul Ryan (R-WI) made it back to vote for the resolution, which was based on a dubious claim about the nature of the waiver authorized by Obama.
Rep John Larson (D-CT) cited the bill as an example of the Republicans "cutting and running."
"The only requirement for work is that Republicans stay here and work instead of cutting and running," Larson said.
To that end, between August, September, and October of this year, the House will have only been in session a total of 12 days.
While those three months of the year typically carry a smaller workload during election years (House members need to campaign every two years to hold onto their jobs), the 12 legislative days the House is in session during that three-month period is less than that same period in any other presidential election year in over three decades.
Comparing it to recent history, the 12 days in 2012 is less than the 19 days the House was in session during those same three months in 2008 (during which the financial crisis resulted in more days than were previously scheduled), and the 20 days it was in session during that same time in 2004.
2012 (scheduled):
- August - 4
- September - 8
- October - 0
- August - 1
- September - 16
- October - 2
- August - 0
- September - 14
- October - 6
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) defended the schedule on Friday, citing the passage of Republican bills to extend all of the Bush-era tax cuts, and a bill to rework the automatic defense cuts, as examples of how Republicans are passing legislation that the Senate refuses to consider.
"We have done our work, but here Senate Democrats and a President, where is their responsibility?" Boehner said, "Where is their leadership? It just doesn't exist."
House Democratic leaders sent Boehner a letter on Thursday asking the speaker to cancel the adjournment so they could address the fiscal cliff, saying leaving DC "would be a dereliction of our duty to lead; it does not honor our responsibility to the American people."
Boehner turned the letter back against Senate Democrats, repeating a common refrain in the political game of ping-pong in which both sides blame the other house of Congress for their inability to act.
"When you think about the letter that they sent to me, about us not doing our work, how about the 40 jobs bills that are sitting in the United States Senate," Boehner said today.
The back and forth, which leads to nothing getting done, has taken its toll on Congress as a whole. Recent approval ratings for Congress float just above 10 percent, and members are going back to their constituents knowing they have sent fewer bills to the President's desk than any Congress since World War II.
Currently, the House is scheduled to return to work on Nov. 13, with 12 legislative days on the calendar before the end of the year. Fewer than two weeks of work could be an impossibly short amount of time to finish addressing so many issues, considering the supercommittee failed to reach a consensus after almost four months of negotiations.

- "He…was left in squalor and poverty, with a very nasty temper, a fantastic amount of arrogance and pride, and a couple of family heirlooms that he treasured just as much as his son, and rather more than his daughter."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Marvolo Gaunt[src]
Marvolo Gaunt (fl. 1925) was a pure-blood wizard of the House of Gaunt and descendant of Salazar Slytherin. He was the maternal grandfather of Tom Marvolo Riddle, later known as Lord Voldemort, through his daughter Merope. Violent and bigoted, Marvolo died soon after being released from Azkaban, where he was briefly imprisoned for assaulting Ministry personnel.[1] He was also the owner of a large golden ring and Salazar Slytherin's Locket, both of which he prized as heirlooms of his pure-blood heritage.
Early life
- "Salazar Slytherin's! We're his last living descendants, what do you say to that, eh? Don't you go talking to us as if we're dirt on your shoes! Generations of pure-bloods, wizards all — more than you can say, I don't doubt!"
- —Marvolo to Bob Ogden[src]
Marvolo was born into the pure-blood House of Gaunt; his son Morfin, and his daughter Merope Gaunt were the last descendants of Salazar Slytherin. Centuries of inbreeding caused poverty and a vein of instability and violence to flourish in the family. "This lack of sense coupled with a great liking for grandeur meant that the family gold was squandered several generations before Marvolo was born." As such, he and his children lived in poverty in a ruined cottage near Little Hangleton. There is no mention of Marvolo's wife, although it is likely that she was a cousin due to their family's inbreeding practice, and had either died or left him due to his squalor and violent behaviour.
Marvolo usually spent his time brandishing family heirlooms, including: A locket, a ring which he praised as much as anything, even his children. Marvolo had a loyal relationship with Morfin since they both shared some similarities, including belief in blood purity, being violent and being abusive towards Merope. Unlike his relationship with Morfin, Marvolo hated his daughter, whom he called a Squib as a slur since she could not perform magic correctly. In all probability this was due to the abuse she received from her father and brother; Marvolo frequently abused her while Morfin watched and laughed.
- Marvolo Gaunt: "Should've made your presence known, shouldn't you? This is private property. Can't just walk in here and not expect my son to defend himself?"
- Bob Ogden: "Defend himself against what, man?"
- Marvolo Gaunt: "Busybodies. Intruders. Muggles and filth."
- — Marvolo Gaunt shows his prejudiced, bigoted nature in a conversation with Bob Ogden[src]
Morfin, being mentally deranged and having little regard for secrecy, frequently used magic in front of, and upon, Muggles, with his father approving of his actions. This inevitably brought him into conflict with the Ministry of Magic. When the Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, Bob Ogden, visited the Gaunts to address the issue, they resisted violently, with Marvolo justifying Morfin's actions and resistant to Ogden's calm attempts at discussion. Just as Ogden rose to leave, Morfin ruthlessly revealed that Merope had a romantic admiration for the Muggle he had attacked: Tom Riddle Sr. Marvolo became absolutely infuriated (seeing as they were purebloods and only associated with their kind) and attacked his "filthy little blood traitor" daughter, though Ogden stopped him from strangling her by using a Revulsion Jinx.[1]
Morfin in turn defended his father from further attacks by firing a storm of jinxes towards Ogden, leading him to run for his life. Ogden Apparated back to the Ministry and returned with reinforcements within fifteen minutes. Marvolo and Morfin attempted to fight, though were both overpowered and removed from the cottage. Both men were brought before the Wizengamot and sent to Azkaban, with Morfin receiving a three-year sentence, and Marvolo, because he injured several Ministry personnel, received six months.[1]
- Morfin Gaunt: "She likes looking at that Muggle. Always in the garden when he passes, peering through the hedge at him, isn't she? And last night —"
- Marvolo Gaunt: "Is it true? My daughter — pure-blooded descendant of Salazar Slytherin — hankering after a filthy, dirt-veined Muggle?"
- — the Gaunts discussing Merope's infatuation with Tom Riddle Sr.[src]
Merope, once Marvolo and Morfin were safely in prison, found herself alone and free for the first time in her life, and her magical abilities, which were suppressed by years of torment from her father and brother, flourished. She took the opportunity to escape from the desperate life she had led. Using a Love Potion, Merope seduced and married Tom Riddle Sr..
After his time in prison, Marvolo returned to the cottage, arrogantly and foolishly expecting Merope to have dutifully awaited his return and be waiting with a hot meal ready on his table. Instead, he found the shack empty and abandoned, a clear inch of dust covering the inside. He also found Merope's note of farewell explaining what she had done.
Marvolo's shock was so great that he never mentioned her name or existence from that time forth. The shock of Merope's desertion was so great that it led to his early death. Other factors included him being greatly weakened by his time in prison, and he possibly never learned to feed himself. Marvolo did not live to see Morfin return to the cottage.[1]
Marvolo's prized signet ring was passed onto Morfin. Marvolo's name was used for his grandson's middle name — Tom Marvolo Riddle — who was born through Merope and Riddle Sr.. Tom Riddle would become better known as Lord Voldemort, the most dangerous Dark Wizard in history. Sixteen years later, Tom would seek out the shack for Marvolo to confirm his pure-blood heritage, only to find out the patriarch of the Gaunt family has passed away. Riddle ended up stealing Marvolo's ring from Morfin and turning it into a Horcrux.
Physical appearance
- "An elderly man had come hurrying out of the cottage, banging the door behind him so that the dead snake swung pathetically. This man was shorter than the first, and oddly proportioned; his shoulders were very broad and his arms overlong, which, with bright brown eyes, short scrubby hair, and wrinkled face, gave him the look of a powerful, aged monkey"
- —Harry Potter's impression of Marvolo Gaunt when he sees him in Bob Ogden's memory in the Pensieve[src]
Marvolo is described as being shorter than his son, though oddly proportioned; his shoulders were very broad and his arms rather long for his body type. This, along with his bright brown eyes, short scrubby hair, and wrinkled face, made him look like a powerful, aged monkey like his ancestor, Salazar Slytherin.[1]
Personality and traits
- "Marvolo Gaunt was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry...as far as he was concerned, having pure blood made you practically royal."
- —Harry Potter in 1998[src]
A violent, arrogant man, due to both genetics and his Gaunt upbringing, Marvolo placed the utmost importance on his heritage, leading him to be derisive of his daughter's seeming lack of magical ability and furious with her infatuation with a Muggle. He was cruel and bigoted, calling Bob Ogden a Mudblood, without actually knowing his blood status, and completely indifferent to the Ministry's authority. His violence has led him to the point of being murderously unloving towards his daughter, though he respected his son enough to have a fair conversation with him. His hate for his daughter rendered him to treat her nothing short of a slave, and refused to acknowledge her existence ever again when she betrayed their clan, which may be one of the contributions that led to Marvolo's death. Another possibility is Marvolo simply never learning to feed himself, making him completely reliant on Merope to survive, despite his hatred towards her. According to Dumbledore, Marvolo cherished his family heirlooms as much as his son, and more than his daughter.[1]
Magical abilities and skills
Parselmouth: Like his ancestor, son, daughter and grandson, Marvolo had the ability to speak to snakes from their ancestor and even communicated with his children that way.
Martial Magic: It is said that he injured some of the Ministry wizards that Bob Ogden brought back with him leading to his arrest.
Marvolo's relationship with his children was terrible. He seemed to tolerate and maintain a tenuous relationship with his son Morfin, who was furiously loyal to Marvolo and his family's ideals, while just as unstable and violent. On the other hand, Marvolo seemed to have no care whatsoever for his daughter Merope, whom he derided as being a Squib and expected to do all the cooking and cleaning. He and Morfin were both emotionally and physically abusive towards Merope, to the point of actually attempting to murder her in front of a Ministry official. Marvolo also conversed with his children in Parseltongue.[1]
Marvolo never saw Merope again after he was imprisoned since she abandoned the shack for good, which led to her father to never speak of her existence again either. Despite genuinely hating Merope to the point of attempting to execute her for her crimes against the family's belief, Albus Dumbledore speculated that her abandonment was what contributed to Marvolo's early death, either due to the shock or that he never learned how to feed himself (as he had foolishly believed that Merope would be dutifully wait for his return from prison with a hot meal on the table). This shows that he is at least dependent on her for survival. Marvolo never saw Morfin again either after being released from Azkaban since Marvolo died before his son's sentence was complete; his family signet ring, the last heirloom, was left for Morfin to wear.
Tom Riddle Sr.
It is unknown if Marvolo and Tom Riddle Sr. had met in person, but it is known that Marvolo despised him very much. When Morfin revealed that Merope was in love with him, Marvolo became furious and angry since he was a pure-blood supremacist and didn't want any non-pure bloods into his family lineage. Marvolo presumably considered him more disgusting when he found out that Merope had run off witth him after being released from his 6-month sentence in Azkaban. Riddle Sr. also seemed to be one of the causes of Marvolo's death, because since Merope left the house, Marvolo was unable to take care of himself or because of his shock of a pure-blood/Muggle romance and he died.
Tom Marvolo Riddle/Lord Voldemort
- Tom Riddle: "Where is Marvolo?"
- Morfin Gaunt: "Dead. Died years ago, didn't he?"
- — Morfin informs the young Tom Riddle that Marvolo is dead[src]
Marvolo had never met his grandson, Tom Riddle since he had died by the time Voldemort was born. But in the summer of 1943, when Voldemort set off to find his Gaunt relatives, using his middle name to connect to the family, and he expected to find Marvolo but instead found only Morfin. The deteriorating condition of the household had deeply disappointed the young Tom.
- The name Marvolo may be derived from Malvolio, which loosely translates into "ill will" in Latin. It is also the name of a character from William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Malvolio is a Puritan who despises all kinds of fun and games, perhaps alluding to Marvolo's extreme prejudice and cruelty.
- The word gaunt is defined as "haggard, drawn and emaciated" and "bleak, desolate".[2]
Behind the scenes
- The name "Marvolo" changes in some translations so that the "TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE" anagram can translate.
- The flashback of Marvolo Gaunt that Dumbledore shows Harry does not appear in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, likely for timing restrictions. However, it was included in the original draft of the script.
- In the sixth film, Marvolo's ring is said by Albus Dumbledore to have belonged to his daughter, but in a deleted scene of the next movie, the ring is said by Harry to have belonged to Marvolo and the locket to Merope.

Dinner Tonight: Polenta with Mushroom Ragu Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
This may look like a mess, but I promise it all works out in the end. After last week's adventure with polenta I couldn't wait to get back in. It was such a brilliant base for the flavors of the kale that I had this crazy idea about making a red sauce loaded with mushrooms—sort of like a vegetarian ragu. Or at least that's what I thought.
Problem was, I couldn't find an all-encompassing recipe that I liked. Most recipes for the mushroom ragu involved pouring it over grilled polenta, which I didn't feel like doing. So I cobbled together a few different sources and created this dish of polenta with mushroom ragu. The directions for the polenta came from my previous recipe and I found the ragu recipe at How Stuff Works, assuming it would be fine over the polenta. In my version of the recipe I used oyster mushrooms that I snagged from the Korean Market. They have a much different texture than cremini or button, but either would work.
Though it's not exactly authentic, it ended up working out. It's a rich, satisfying main that's not too heavy.
- 2 cups milk
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 cup polenta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
- salt and pepper
- 3/4 pound oyster mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 14-ounce can tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Pour the milk and water into a medium-sized pot. Bring to a simmer and then slowly whisk in the polenta. Simmer over medium-low for 20 minutes until the mixture is thick.
Meanwhile, pour the oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Dump in the tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the butter and Parmesan to the polenta, stir well, and turn off the heat.
Scoop some polenta into a bowl and then spoon over some of the mushroom ragu.

Antonio Landry wanted to see me and I wanted to see him.
I phoned him around 10:45 and after a two-hour drive I arrived in Acton Vale.
Omer Landry, Antonio's father, was Maria Landry's brother.
Omer is in the medaillon on the bottom left. Above him is his father Louis Landry. Maria Landry is the woman on the extreme left.
She was my grandfather's first wife. Léo Lagacé and Maria Landry were married in 1912.
What Antonio told me was that my grandfather was quite someone: a singer, a dancer, a comedian. He was a real party guy.
Antonio never saw my grandfather, but he had heard a lot about him. He told me everybody liked him… and then my grandfather disappeard in an around 1920-1925. His father Omer Landry threw him out of the house because of the way he was behaving… drinking and gambling.
He and Maria were living at the hotel in St-Hyacinthe. They had a textile manufacture, but Leo lost everything to gambling. Maria's father who had lend him money lost his farm.
They never saw him after Omer chased him away.
Almost 90 years later, Léo Lagacé's grandson met Maria Landry's nephew.
But I also met someone else…

I wanted to get into an older form of marketing agents either do a lot of, or stopped after getting discouraged from poor results. Classified sites are still a great way to bring in leads, I just think agents need to do it a little smarter. I'll do my best to keep this post brief because once you get the gist of what I'm saying, the ideas will be a flowing! Remember to check in every day as we're having Real Estate Marketing Month here and on many guest blogs.
While it doesn't hurt to just list your latest property listings, you'll still be see in front of a lot of eyes. As of late, I've noticed one really key feature about Craigslist, Kijiji, Oodle.com and others is that their listings can rank really easily for long tail keywords. How often have you noticed this but never thought to take advantage of it?
They key of course is just as simple as titling and making the first sentence right on top with what you want to rank for. This tactic is great for targeting the long tail, especially for new developments, communities and local specific real estate.
I will give you a specific example from my current place of residence here in beautiful Victoria BC. But before I do that, let's quickly talk about links in your ads. While most classified sites expire after a certain period of time, I still think (keyword being think) that they'll have a chance at temporarily passing some link juice. At the very least, make sure you fill out your profile on the sites that let you have one. A lot of them will have a place for a link and a followed links, so make your profile write up good and unique!
Example Of Classified Long Tail Domination!:
Keyword: sidney adult community condos (very popular retirement area here)
As you can see, this is a really interesting set of listings completely dominated by classified sites. This also tells me, that a well established local agent could get a page up targeting these keywords. That eventually should easily be able to out rank these classified listings, so make sure to do both! I recommend using your real estate blog to also tackle long tail terms like this. The advantage here with the classified sites though is the ability to rank top 5 within 12-24 hours!
List Of Classified Sites:
Keep in mind there are WAY more classified sites out there, just do your best to determine the quality of them before wasting your time. I'll list the top ones here of course, but don't exclude sites that are built for your local area only. These will not only be great for ranking, you know that most of the traffic on that site is for your area only. Simply brilliant!
– Craigslist
– Oodle

Le 12 novembre 2012
The weekend's rugby started on Friday evening with a mouth watering Toulouse v Montpellier, the hosts just 2 points ahead in 3rd spot of Montpellier, both teams having players missing for International duties, but the hosts with an infirmary nearly overflowing would certainly be put to the test by Montpellier. All week the press had been writing up Montpellier giving them the once in a life time chance to beat the hosts Toulouse, but this is Toulouse even with 15 or so players unavailable there was still a team sheet to envy by all, with the names of excellent players ready to do battle for their club. The game stats showed that Montpellier had most of the possession and a majority of the ball but the result was a resounding 27-9 win for the home side. Montpellier once again showed that they are not ready to take on the very best, giving away too much ball, losing countless line outs and generally not playing at all to their potential. Two desastourous mistakes, the first by stand in Capt Thibault Privat dropping a high ball from a restart, the ball then going through the legs of Jimmy Nagusa, and the long time injured Maxime Medard dived on the ball and slide over unopposed. The second mistake, a Jonnie Beattie sevens pass intercepted by Toulouse, the ball was sent straight out to the winger Matanavaou, who finished well in the corner. Simple and efficient was Toulouse's rugby and with the help of the boot of McAlister who kept the score board ticking over Toulouse were never in any great danger. Toulouse played off the mistakes made by Montpellier and never really did anything spectacular but then with so many gifts from the opposition they did not have to, far too many balls were lost in the biggest area of problems, the line out, until Montpellier keep their own ball from the touches they are going to struggle against the top teams. Patience is also something that Montpellier has to learn, their build ups never materialising into anything as options are often squandered with white line fever or just bad choices. Sometimes a kick in the teeth does a team no harm, as long as the lesson is learnt then the boys can progress, the season is long and Montpellier are still sitting pretty in 4th place not as pretty as last week but then the TOP 14 is never going to be a walk in the park. There are many more tough games to be played and as they always say "one game at a time." Just don't make the same mistakes twice. The players are now on a weeks break and resume the Top 14 on Saturday 1st of December at home against Bayonne, a match which the coaches will have plenty of time to prepare for, but has to be no less than a home win for Montpellier if they are to continue on the path of a qualifying spot for the end of season play-offs..

Chase Buddinger, who will hold a Q&A today at noon on Twitter (send questions to @CBudinger and use the hashtag #AskChase), is confident that he will make a good showing in the NBA slam dunk contest tonight.
We know he has the hops, but can he handle the pressure of the big stage?
"I'm trying to make it like there is no pressure, but you always some nerves and some butterflies in your stomach," Buddinger said. "But I'm trying to have fun with it."
Budinger did an interview with Chinese television crew Friday afternoon to ask his Chinese fans to vote for him in the contest that will be decided by fan vote instead of on-site judges as has been the case in every other dunk contest.
Budinger, who is listed as the longest shot to win by oddsmakers, would have been a lock winner had his idea of having Yao Ming come to the contest to hold a ball over head for Budinger to grab as he jumped over Yao for the dunk. It would have been spectacular. Buy Yao, who is in school in Shanghai, couldn't miss class to come to Orlando.
Budinger says he will not use this dunk on the life-size cutout of Yao in the contest that he pulled as a joke in a media session earlier this week. I think that would score some majory points for creativity and entertainment, which is half of what the contest is all about. (He may have just been kidding about not using that dunk, or he could change his mind.)
Clearly this year's contest has the least accomplished group of dunkers in its history. The lack of buzz hasn't gone unnoticed by the participants.
"I think a lot of people will be surprised," Buddinger said. "While it is true that there are no stars, there are more up-and-coming type players (in the contest), it makes it more exciting. With young guys like myself, we've got things to prove and we've got young legs. It will be real exciting."
Buddinger says his best in-game dunk was a follow-throwdown against the Celtics in his rookie season. It was pretty nice. He displayed all his vertical to catch it at the top of the square with both hands off a high bounce.
Budinger finished second to Gerald Henderson in the McDonald's All-America dunk contest in 2006. He was co-MVP of the game with Kevin Durant.

Ground rod and clamp: Galvanized rod does not rust or corrode.
100 ft MaxiShock Single ins. Cable: It's extra-thick layer of galvanized zinc will protect the connection from rusting for years. Unlike normal insulated fence wire, MaxiShock insulated cable does not require special connectors.
How to Use
- Connect insulated cable (stripped back 1 - 2" on ends) to the fence terminal on energizer, run the cable to the fence line and connect, or use the positive part of the Wiring Harness, not included.
- Then run a second length of cable from the ground terminal (with ends stripped again) on the energizer to the ground rod, or use the negative part of the Wiring Harness, not included.
- Secure to ground rod with a clamp.
- Plug into outlet and test fence.
To use light tester WITHOUT ground probeFor Fence:
- Touch the top of the tester to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch the top of the tester onto the top of the fence terminal on the energizer.
- Push the button (if applicable).
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
To use light tester WITH ground probeFor Fence:
- Insert the probe of the tester into the soil.
- Remove your hand from the metal portion of the probe (to avoid a shock).
- To get a voltage reading, touch the metal clip (on the top of the tester) to the electrified fence you wish to test.
- The tester will light up according to the voltage at that location on the fence.
- Remove the tester from the fence and the probe from the soil. Do not remove the probe by pulling the insulated wire.
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and fence wire from energizer.
- Turn on energizer.
- Touch probe from tester to ground terminal on energizer (be sure to hold onto the insulated wire and not the metal probe!)
- At same time touch the fence hook on tester to fence terminal on energizer.
- The tester should light up to 6000 volts or more.
Ground rod and clamp
- Allow 3 ft of rod per joule of energy released.
- Use multiple 6 ft rods for large energizers and 3 ft rods for smaller energizers (and lightning diverters).
- Make sure to put the ground rod all the way into the ground.
- To attach ground wire, strip the coating off the wire 1" - 2" and make an elongated "U" in the wire.
- Put the "U" against the rod and put the clamp around it. Tighten.
100 ft MaxiShock Single ins. CableJust cut the soft wire cable with a knife, strip off the insulation and wrap it 4 or more times around the wire by hand. It can be removed and reinstalled many times
- Make sure the energizer is unplugged before working on the fence or the energizer.
- When using a 12v deep cycle battery, there is no case to protect the battery, so the battery will be exposed to the elements and risk of theft.
- This unit is not modular, therefore it is not repairable.
Ground rod and clamp: When installing more than one ground rod, space the ground rods apart 2 feet longer than the rod. Example 3' rods should be spaced 5' apart.
To Reduce Risk & Liability
- Never place your head or upper spine near an electrified wire. Accidental head or neck contact can occur when pushing a voltage probe into the soil. Be careful when doing so to avoid head-to-wire contact!
- Never attempt to step over or climb through an energized fence of any kind.
- Never encourage anyone to touch an electric fence.
To determine if the fault is with the fence or the energizer...
- Test the energizer first
- Turn off energizer.
- Disconnect ground wire and the fence wire.
- Turn energizer back on.
- With fence tester, put the ground probe (or clamp) to the ground terminal on the energizer and the metal loop (or positive clamp) at the top of the tester to the fence/positive terminal. The reading you get tells you how well the energizer is working without any other variables. If there is a very low voltage (under 4000v) or no voltage, then the energizer may have a problem. If the voltage is high (greater than 4000v) then the trouble lies with your fence. Most energizers put out between 5000v and 8000v when there is no load (i.e. no fence hooked up).
- Check that the 110v outlet is "live" by using a plug-in drill or test light.
- If the test light works and the energizer does not, call Premier.
If the energizer is faulty and you are using the Patriot P5 as a battery unit you need to learn if the battery or the energizer is the problem…
- If it's a 12 volt energizer carry the unit to a nearby vehicle and attach the input cords carefully to the vehicle's battery.
- If the energizer now works, then your fencer's battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
- If the energizer does not work, then you should call Premier re. repairs.
If the fence is at fault, then you must find the fault(s) and fix them. Here's how to start this process:
If you have a Fault Finder you can simply touch the fence with the Fault Finder at various points along the electric fence(s). The Fault Finder will tell you at each point which direction to go in to locate the problem. Move in that direction testing as you go and you will arrive at the problem.
If you lack a Fault Finder…
- Walk or drive along the fence looking for any point in which the energized wires touch the soil, a steel post or a steel wire. On HT wire fences, check the wires at braces to see if they are touching a hot wire. On netting, look for a hot wire touching the metal stake at the bottom of the plastic posts. Also look for damaged insulators.
- If the fence can be separated into several parts (by switches or by disconnecting parts of it), you can locate the problem by beginning at the far end and then progressively turn off or disconnect the sections of fence. When the voltage on the remaining fence rises sharply, you've located the section(s) that's causing the problems.
- The alternative to (2.) is to begin at the fencer and progressively turn on sections of the fence. When the voltage suddenly drops you can assume that the problem is in the section most recently connected.
5-Light Tester:
- Make sure that the probe has not become separated from the black insulated wire.
- Cup your hands around the body of the tester to keep the sun's glare off the lights of the tester.
Ground Rod and Clamp:
If you are not getting a good reading on your fence:
- Make sure to have the ground rod all the way into the ground
- Make sure you have a good connection to the ground rod
- Make sure to have a good connection on the energizer and fence

Easy to set up and seems to do the job just fine.
William B from Indiana
The unit was very easy to set up. The most time consuming part of the installation was stripping the end of the wires to connect to the energizer, the ground post and the netting.
Jerry N from Georgia
The quality of the goat and chicken electric netting is superior. My order arrived as expected, complete and well packed. The video help online is excellent.
JOE L from IL

2716 Olympic Blvd
Los Angeles, CA
First off, many thanks to J. Gold for one of his last articles at LAWeekly, "60 Korean Dishes Every Angeleno Should Know". I've referred to this article several times before heading over to K-Town. It led me to Jeon Ju for bibimbap, now I'm a repeat customer. I lived at the Dubarry in Koreatown for years, and never got to know the culinary landscape of the neighborhood the way I am getting to know it now. It helps that my husband loves Korean food and is always game to try a new hole in the wall or AYCE BBQ spot.
K-Town is intense. Its heavy population density houses Korean families and the young partying set as well as plenty of Latinos and young hipsters who can't quite afford the rents in Los Feliz and Silverlake. Koreatown has the largest concentration of 24-hour businesses in all of California. That coupled with the number of busy drinking establishments makes it the perfect spot for a walkabout night on the town. We end up here at least once a month bouncing from place to place, meeting people, snacking and occasionally getting sucked into a karaoke room with someone we just met. Good times, folks.
Jeon Ju is a very casual little spot, open from lunch through to dinner, no booze. I've also ordered food to-go, pleased with the variety of banchan they pack in individual little containers in your plastic bag of deliciousness. I do kind of wonder how restaurants will deal with the new plastic bag ban in LA county. Will restaurants be subject to the ban? Wet take away food and leakages make paper bags seem nonsensical. I bird-walk. The banchan here is yummy. My favorites are the gelatinous white cubes with sesame sauce and the purple rice cakes two dishes over. Of course, I love kimchee in all its forms.
Bibimbap is a rice dish with a variety of vegetables such as spinach, zucchini, sprouts, mushrooms, cucumbers, carrots and I assume whatever might be on hand in the fridge. Possible proteins include an egg, beef, various fish, squid, pork, etc. Bibimbap has been a traditional Korean dish for a couple hundred years. A recipe for bibimbap is found in Siuijeonseo, an anonymous Korean cookbook from the late 19th century, considered the resource for researching traditional Korean foods.

"I Am Your Brother!"
"Have a cigarette," said the Russian officer to each of the Jews brought to him for interrogation.
This was an unusual offer coming from a Russian officer to people that had been arrested following the end of World War II on suspicion of being Nazi officers masquerading as Jews to escape their Soviet hunters.
But his offer was refused by each member of this group who were arrested while desperately looking for a haven after experiencing the horrors of the Holocaust.
The officer was outraged by this refusal of such a generous offer and threatened to punish them if they persisted in their refusal.
When they reiterated their refusal he asked what they did want.
"Two loaves of bread" was the reply.
The officer then locked the door to his office and turned to the group declaring, "I am your brother, a fellow Jew!"
He then explained that he suddenly realized that their refusal to smoke was because it was Shabbat and that their request for two loaves was in order to honor that special day. Thus was he convinced that they were Jews and not disguised Nazis. He also revealed that he was a descendant of the great Chassidic leader Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev who was famous for always praising the merits of the Jewish people to Heaven. Now that he saw Jews ready to risk punishment for observing Shabbat he felt that he could follow in the path of his ancestor and praise Jews to Heaven.

At the end of 2012, EUROSENSE was awarded by the Flemish Geographical Information Agency (AGIV) with a large LiDAR and orthophoto-project in Flanders.
As an update of the digital terrain model (DTM) of Flanders created more than 7 years ago, the FGIA tendered a LiDAR-project on the entire Flemish and Brussels Capital Region, divided into 7 parcels. The project consists in a LiDAR-data acquisition during the leafless season with a point density of min. 16 points per m² (8 points per m² with at least 50% sidelap) and a simultaneous image acquisition with a GSD of at least 10cm. The LiDAR-data needs to be processed into an accurate DSM and, after filtering, into a DTM providing detailed information on the (micro)relief in Flanders. The acquired imagery needs to be processed into a detailed orthophoto with a GSD of 10cm.
Each supplier could submit an offer for maximum 4 parcels and EUROSENSE has been awarded with the 4 parcels for which it offered. In total, the awarded parcels comprise 10.458 km² or ca. 60% of the entire project area (Flanders and Brussels Capital Region, including buffers). The flights need to be executed over three winter seasons of which the first season already starts on the 15th of January 2013.

INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Billionaire James Irsay, the 54-year-old owner of the National Football League's Indianapolis Colts team, was jailed early on Monday on suspicion of drunk driving and possession of a controlled substance, authorities said.
Police stopped Irsay on Sunday night for driving at a slow pace, halting in the roadway and failing to signal a turn. He was arrested after failing several roadside field-sobriety tests, police in Carmel, Indiana, said in a statement.
A search of his vehicle yielded multiple prescription drugs that didn't match the labels on any of the prescription-pill bottles found, police said.
Irsay was arrested on the preliminary charges of driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance, Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Bryant Orem said.
He was booked into the Hamilton County jail early on Monday on those preliminary charges and his bond was set at $22,500, according to jail records.
Irsay posted a cash bond and was released from the jail Monday afternoon, the sheriff's office said.
His initial court appearance was scheduled for March 26 in Hamilton County Magistrate Court, it said.
Forbes magazine listed Irsay's net worth at about $1.6 billion as of March. The Colts team said in a statement on Monday they were still gathering information about the incident.
"The team will issue additional statements when the facts are sorted and we are aware of the next steps to this process," the Colts' statement said. "Many fans have reached out to express their concern and we appreciate their support."

Elisabeth Moss has kept mum about her short-lived marriage to "SNL" funnyman Fred Armisen. Until now.
In an interview with Page Six Magazine, the actress, when asked about her ex, quipped "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about [Fred] is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me, that sums it up."
Armisen, who first appeared on "SN" in 2002, has impersonated the likes of President Barack Obama, Prince, Lawrence Welk, and the late Moammar Khaddafy. He sends-up hipster culture on "Portlandia."
U.S. & World
Armisen said in a New Yorker story about the IFC show that he and co-star Carrie Brownstein had treated their real romantic relationships in a "cold way."
Moss, 29, married the 45-year-old comedian in October 2009 and filed for divorce in September 2010, citing irreconcilable differences.
Asked whether the former love birds still kept in touch, the actress replied "Oh god, no."
But Moss isn't finding her single life the least bit lonely.
"[I] very much enjoy being single and all that that brings," she told the magazine. "It's fun to go out at night and not know what's going to happen. I'm addicted to and obsessed with my freedom in that sense. I'm having fun!"

For the week ending 1 December 2007 / 21 Kislev 5768
The Last Sermon
After finally arriving in Israel years ago following a perilous journey from her hometown in Syria, the young lady had many stories to tell about narrowly escaping border patrols and bribing some Arab civilians to smuggle her across the border.
One particular story did not deal with her heroic adventures but rather with the profound impression made upon her by the last sermon she heard from the rabbi of her community.
The rabbi called attention to the fact that women and girls in the neighborhood of the synagogue made it a practice to be present on the balconies and porches of their homes when the men were leaving the synagogue on Shabbat. He explained that this was not the modest way for women to behave and called for an improvement in the community's standards of tzniut.
Little wonder then that the girl who heard this sermon was moved to join a seminary on her arrival in order to live up to what the rabbi preached.
