The Life And Career Of Chloe Grace Moretz So Far

It seems impossible that Chloe Grace Moretz is only 25 years old. Maybe it's the 75 acting credits on her resumé, which include "Kick-Ass," "Carrie," "Suspiria," and a hilarious arc on "30 Rock." Or perhaps it's the fact that she's been an activist since she was a teenager, politically vocal and teaming up with Hillary Clinton to urge young people to vote. But mostly it's just that, while she looks so youthful, she seems to have a very old soul. Moretz is extremely self-possessed, exuding the wisdom of someone twice her age. When she was 16, she told Conan O'Brien that adults often turned to her to vent about their marital problems!
Having been in the game since other kids her age were in kindergarten, Moretz has grown up on screen. She is more careful now about the roles she chooses, wanting to be a part of progressive narratives. And, strange as it sounds, she is only just beginning. Moretz clearly has a long career ahead of her, and we are here for it. Let's take a look at the life and career of Chloe Grace Moretz so far.
How she got her start

Chloe Grace Moretz is a natural in front of the camera, and her family noticed her innate acting talents when she was just a little kid. Moretz was born in Georgia, the youngest of five with four older brothers. It was her brother Trevor who wanted to be an actor, and he could tell that Chloe had the chops already. "Even as a tiny child, she had something," he told W. The family moved to New York so Trevor could attend the Professional Performing Arts High School. Chloe was 6 at the time and liked helping her brother practice lines. Seeing her potential, Trevor switched focus from his own aspirations and became Chloe's acting coach.
Chloe Grace Moretz landed her first professional acting gig in 2004 on the TV series "The Guardian," and began getting cast in role after role after role. Over the course of the next several years, Moretz appeared in over 20 shows and films, including 2005's "The Amityville Horror." In 2009, she appeared as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's wise-beyond-her-years little sister in "500 Days of Summer," and in 2010, she landed her real breakout role in "Kick-Ass." All before turning 13 years old!
"I would say that it's an understatement to say that [acting] shaped me," she said in a 2022 interview with Philadelphia Style. "Acting and being an actor has been the most formative experience of my life."
Chloe Grace Moretz's learned some pretty cool stuff for her roles
Chloe Grace Moretz has played so many roles over the years, and some of them have required her to learn certain skills. For example, the actor had to learn to speak German for her role in the 2018 reboot of "Suspiria." Moretz told Wired, "I had to learn German, well, pieces of German ... my character was being, like, possessed by a demon, and so at the end she says some really gnarly stuff." She mentioned trying to figure out how to say the C-word in German, but there wasn't a direct translation. "Like what would have the same gravity? And so it ended up being like three different words that apparently get across that tone."
On a more wholesome note, Moretz learned how to play the cello for her 2014 film "If I Stay." "I trained with [the cello], every day for seven months, two hours a day. Honestly, I'd be silly to say that, in seven months, I learned such an intricate instrument," Moretz told Collider. "You have to surrender your entire soul to the instrument as you play it." Ultimately the film used a body double for the cello playing scenes, but Moretz must have picked up a thing or two in all those months.
She tricked Martin Scorsese into thinking she was British

In 2011, Chloe Grace Moretz starred in Martin Scorsese's film "Hugo." She had heard that the iconic director wanted to cast a British girl in the role of Isabelle, so Moretz rose to the challenge of tricking Scorsese into hiring her. "I went into the audition and I fully pretended to be from England, and that my parents were horse breeders, and that we lived in the Cotswolds," she revealed to Wired.
Perhaps Scorsese really believed the lie, or maybe he was simply impressed with her acting ability. But Moretz eventually came clean. "It was like a month into production that he was like, 'Wait, are you just doing an American accent?' And I was like, 'No, I'm like American ... my accent is southern if I don't iron it out.'"
Despite the initial trickery, Moretz and Scorsese got along famously. "We spent Christmas dinner together, basically, and we all just sang karaoke on the floor. He's the most genuine guy, and he's just so cool. [He has] more pep in his step than any other director I've worked with," Moretz recalled in an interview with A.V. Club.
Her role in Carrie messed with her skin
Like many people, Chloe Grace Moretz has struggled with acne. But the type of acne she had was more serious than just the odd smattering of zits. Moretz blames her role in 2013's remake of "Carrie" for the onset of her cystic acne, which can cause painful breakouts and is often caused by bacteria. In her Wired interview, the actor explained, "I used to have cystic acne for a really long time because of 'Carrie.' I had the blood on me every day and I got a bacterial infection."
So how did Moretz combat her cystic acne? Simple ingredients found in the kitchen. "I stopped using all these different products, and I kind of broke it all down to doing absolutely nothing — just using water, olive oil, and honey," she told Teen Vogue. While that seems like a simple solution, the psychological impact of skin problems was a bit more difficult to deal with. "[The psychological element] was the hardest thing for me," the actor said. "It strips your self-confidence in a lot of ways; you know you can't hide from it at all, and you lose a little piece of yourself."
Why Chloe Grace Moretz's role in The Peripheral is significant

In 2022, Chloe Grace Moretz's new show "The Peripheral" premiered on Amazon Prime video. It marked the actor's first role in a streaming series and her first major role after a few years of taking on smaller parts. Moretz, now 25, revealed that she went through a bit of an existential crisis after having been in the industry for most of her childhood.
She told Hunger, "There was this complete jarring shift in my consciousness, I questioned who I was. What am I doing? Who am I? Why am I doing this? Like, what does this mean?" The actor laid low for a while, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, going to therapy and eventually signing on to play Flynne Fisher in "The Peripheral."
Moretz explained why the show appealed to her in an interview with NME, saying, "I feel like a lot of sci-fi doesn't really rely on familial relationships and it doesn't feel warm — so that was something I really grabbed onto with 'The Peripheral.'" She also spoke about being more discriminating when it comes to choosing her roles, now that she is no longer a child actor. "As I grew up, I realized that I wanted to peel back. I'd rather make zero movies in one year if it means I didn't connect to anything," Moretz said.
The cruel meme that deeply affected her

Like all women in the public eye, Chloe Grace Moretz has been judged on her appearance. While it sort of comes with the territory, unfortunately, one meme that was circulating online really affected Moretz's self-esteem. It was a simple photo of the actor in short shorts, carrying a couple of pizza boxes, but someone digitally altered the pic so it wasn't exactly flattering. It was then put next to a pic of a "Family Guy" character and turned into a meme.
"Everyone was making fun of my body and I brought it up with someone and they were like, 'Oh, shut the f**k up, it's funny,'" Moretz told Hunger. "And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it's something that I can't change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram." The effect on Moretz was no laughing matter. "It took a layer of something that I used to enjoy, which was getting dressed up and going to a carpet and taking a photo, and made me super self-conscious. And I think that body dysmorphia — which we all deal with in this world — is extrapolated by the issues of social media."
But it sounds as though Moretz has come out on the other side of that painful experience with some newfound wisdom. When asked by NME what advice she'd give to the little girl still living inside her, she replied, "I'd tell my younger self to trust herself more and to stop listening to the outside influx of information from everybody around you."
She's very politically active

Chloe Grace Moretz is very outspoken when it comes to her political beliefs. Not only did the actor hit the campaign trail with Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, she spoke at the Democratic National Convention that same year in support of her candidate. "As someone who has a following of people who care about what you say and what you stand for, you have an opportunity to use that for the betterment," she told i news.
When the election didn't go as many had expected, Moretz continued to be vocal about feminism and issues facing the LGBTQ+ community. Part of Moretz's activism surrounding LGBTQ+ rights comes from the fact that two of her brothers are gay, one of whom is Trevor, who served as an acting coach and mentor for her as a child. "I knew about the idea of praying the gay away because we're from a very Christian Baptist Southern small town in Georgia," Moretz told The Hollywood Reporter.
She also spoke about being an advocate in terms of the kinds of roles she would choose to play. In 2018, Moretz starred in "The Miseducation of Cameron Post," about a girl who is sent to a conversion therapy camp. "I found that being able to partner my activism with my art was what I wanted to keep doing and make movies that are socially aware and progressive," she said to The Hollywood Reporter.
The effect on the actress since her father's death

In March of 2021, Chloe Grace Moretz's father passed away unexpectedly. The actor had a difficult time processing her grief because her relationship with her father had been complicated. When Moretz was just 12, her father left the family. "It was a pretty bad experience ... It could have rocked our family and messed us up, but it actually made us a lot tighter. My brothers bumped up into the roles of fathers and kept me in a bubble where I could live in a world that wasn't jaded and ruined," Moretz told Glamour in 2016. She added, "I don't think I will truly find a way to forgive; the things that he did are unforgivable."
Moretz's father was a plastic surgeon and was just 64 years old at the time of his passing. The grieving process, though difficult, seems to have helped Moretz grow as a person. "My dad and I had a very tumultuous relationship," she told Hunger. "To say that these past two years have been transformative is an understatement, to say the least. I'm a very different girl than I was. I feel like a woman now."
She keeps her dating life private
As of November 2022, Chloe Grace Moretz is keeping mum about her personal life. And who could really blame her after her very public relationship, and breakup, with Brooklyn Beckham? Moretz and Beckham dated off and on between 2014 and 2018, finally breaking things off after Beckham was photographed kissing Playboy model Lexi Wood. Moretz told The Times, "I'm not a big fan of PDAs in general. I personally don't want to see people posted all over my phone making out." We love the shade.
Since 2018, rumors have been swirling that Moretz is dating model Kate Harrison. Photos of the two looking cute together even popped up here and there, but Moretz has not confirmed anything. However, for fans that would love to see this couple make it official, there may be hope yet. In November 2022, Moretz told i news, "I'm in a long-term relationship. And I really enjoy that."
She is a gamer and she loves cars

For an actor who has been working for most of her entire young life, it's only fair Chloe Grace Moretz gets to partake in some fun, non-industry-related hobbies. One of Moretz's favorite pastimes is gaming. "I love video games. I love first-person shooters, but I also love, like, MMORPG games, so I play a lot of 'Final Fantasy' and getting into 'Destiny,'" she told Wired. Moretz has been playing video games since she was a kid and relished the fact that gaming was something she could finally beat her brothers at. "It was the one time where I could equal the playing field and kick the sh*t out of them a little bit. I got really competitive," she told NME.
Moretz also has a thing for cars, but not the precious vintage variety. "I have a 110 Defender and I have a rooftop tent on it and I take it camping," she mentioned to Wired. And if you're looking for a friend for the end of the world, Moretz is the one. The actor is into "overlanding," which is basically car camping off the grid and into the wilderness. "I like to kit out my car with a bunch of, like doomsday gear," Moretz said.
The film Chloe Grace Moretz most regrets doing

In 2017, Chloe Grace Moretz starred in a movie that she subsequently hoped would never be released. The film in question was "I Love You, Daddy," written and directed by, and co-starring Louis C.K. The film's New York premiere was canceled after five women came forward with sexual assault allegations against C.K. The film's distributor ended up dropping it altogether, and so far, Moretz has gotten her wish. "I think it should just kind of go away, honestly. I don't think it's time for them to have a voice right now," she told The New York Times. The "them" in question are men who commit these egregious acts and seem to just sort of get away with it.
While many actors would be horrified to have a film in which they starred simply disappear into the ether, Moretz stood strong with the #MeToo movement. "I'm just happy to be in communication with everyone and to see the big change in the face of the industry, which I think is very, very real," the actor told W Magazine.
When asked about working with C.K. during an interview with Variety at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, Moretz shifted the conversation away from her own experience and onto the movement itself. "The fact that it's a conversation and it's a question is monumental," she noted. "We've all been through a lot of stuff but at least we're communicating and people are going to be held accountable."
She's also a trained martial artist

Chloe Grace Moretz, the star of "Kick-Ass," could literally kick your ass. In preparation for her role as Hit-Girl at age 12, the actor learned several different styles of martial arts. She told Conan O'Brien, "I learned a lot of jiu jitsu, I learned some different stuff like Krav Maga, I learned a lot of KGB stuff, like Russian fighting things." She also showed Conan her butterfly knife skills, which were impressive as well.
But Moretz didn't just do the moves for the movie then forget them. In fact, she stuck with martial arts as part of her regular routine and continues to train. She told NME in October 2022 that she'd stopped her training for a couple of years, causing her to lose touch with a part of herself. So, she started her practice again and could feel the positive change. "I've been doing Muay Thai, judo, and mixed martial arts. Judo in particular has really changed my life. I feel a lot more steady and grounded," Moretz said.
She's really into self-care

Chloe Grace Moretz is not only a prolific actress, she is extremely poised, mature, and self-aware. Perhaps her maturity comes from having been in a cutthroat business from such a young age. Luckily, Moretz has learned some valuable things about self-care over the years that help her stay grounded and healthy. For one, physical fitness is very important to her. She shared with Vogue, "When I don't work out, I just am literally not as happy as when I work out. I love the endorphin rush. It's my time to myself. [I do] SoulCycle for solid cardio, and then Y7, which is like hot Bikram yoga but it's vinyasa." The actor also finds solace in the great outdoors, telling Hunger, "My love language is nature."
Moretz is careful about keeping her mind in check as well, remembering to keep it positive. She once shared an Instagram story that featured pages of a book called "Living With Joy: Keys to Personal Power and Spiritual Transformation." Moretz added, "Everyone should take 15 minutes and try this out today," to the post, which featured daily affirmations and tips for changing negative thoughts into positive ones (via Teen Vogue).
Moretz spends so much time not only entertaining us, but using her celebrity to bring attention to issues that affect us all. That she also takes the time for the caring of herself is a testament to what a strong and wise young woman she is. We simply love to see it!

Laurent Pech December 20, 2018
London, 20 December 2018
Ref. 18/2087-em/mf
Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.
I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my request for access to documents 'CLS Opinion re proposed general rule of law deficiencies mechanism'.
In your reply dated 10 December 2018, you informed me that full access could not be given – in practice, the third part of the Council Legal Service (hereinafter: CLS) opinion entitled 'Legal Analysis' – on multiple grounds which I regret to say I find unjustified and baseless for the reasons set out below:
Ground 1: "The requested opinion contains legal advice"
You do not evidence this claim nor do you specifically explain the nature of this alleged 'legal advice'. I note that on the contrary, the undisclosed section of the CLS opinion is, as noted above, explicitly entitled 'Legal Analysis' and not 'legal advice'.
On page 2 of the partially accessible version, the CLS opinion itself indicates that it does not provide any legal advice but on the contrary offers a purely abstract legal assessment of the "compatibility of the proposed mechanism with Article 7 of the TEU, the choice of Article 322(1)(a) TFEU as an appropriate legal basis and the legality of the procedure for the adoption of measures under the mechanism. This opinion responds to that request."
An abstract examination of the compatibility of the Commission's draft regulation with EU primary law cannot be reasonably construed as constituting legal advice.
Ground 2: "the ongoing discussions are very sensitive"
Only the content of a document may be lawfully described as 'sensitive' but your letter does not explain the extent to which the CLS opinion could be accurately described as 'sensitive' within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation 1049/2001.
In other words, it is my submission that the Council cannot lawfully justify non-disclosure on the basis of an eminently subjective such as 'sensitive discussion' which, one must stress, Regulation 1049/2001 does not mention as a possible exception to justify non-disclosure.
Ground 3: "Disclosure of the requested document would thus undermine the decision-making process"
It is difficult to follow the logic of this ground. The CLS directly concerns a publicly available document adopted by the Commission. As reported in the press (https://www.politico.eu/pro/council-lawy...), the CLS opinion concludes that the draft regulation proposed by the Commission is not be compatible with EU primary law.
This means that we are in a situation where a confidential CLS opinion is being relied upon to undermine the adoption of a publicly available draft legislative document which is accompanied and justified by a publicly available explanatory memorandum.
It is therefore, on the contrary, the non-disclosure of the CLS opinion which ought to be more logically described as undermining the EU's decision-making process, not its non-disclosure.
In this context, I would further submit that the non-disclosure of the CLS opinion is itself in breach of EU primary law. Indeed, as provided by Article 15 TEU, 'The European Parliament and the Council shall ensure publication of the documents relating to the legislative procedures…'
As noted above, the CLS opinion directly and exclusively concerns a draft legislative act proposed by the Commission on 2 May 2018.
Ground 4: disclosure of the advice and the issues with which it deals would undermine the protection of the financial and economic policy of the Union
As way of reminder, it is important to first point out that the primary aim of the draft regulation proposed by the Commission is to protect the financial interests of the Union (see Article 3: measures (such as the suspension of payments) should to be taken, "where a generalised deficiency as regards the rule of law in a Member State affects or risks affecting the principles of sound financial management or the protection of the financial interests of the Union")
To argue that the CLS opinion should not be disclosed because such a disclosure would undermine the financial policy of the EU is irrational considering that the CLS opinion, as reported in the newspaper article previously mentioned, argues that that the Commission had not demonstrated any link between compliance with the rule of law and an efficient implementation of the Union budget, preservation of the financial interests of the Union and compliance with principles of sound financial management.
In other words, according to the CLS, the Commission cannot introduce a regulation which aims to equip the Union to protect its budget when weaknesses in the rule of law impair – or threaten to impair – sound financial management or the financial interests of the Union.
It follows that it is the CLS opinion itself which arguably undermines the protection of the financial and economic policy of the Union, not its potential disclosure.
The disclosure of the CLS opinion could on the contrary enable a proper public debate on the Commission's draft regulation and help improve its content in order to help the proposed regulation better achieve its primary aim: the enhanced protection of the EU's financial interests.
Ground 5: "there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of litigation that will certainly concern the issues touched upon in the requested opinion"
To put it briefly, a "risk of litigation", reasonably foreseeable or not, is simply not a lawful exception within the meaning of Regulation 1049/2001.
Ground 6: "disclosure of the requested document would undermine the protection of legal advice"
Firstly, as noted above, the CLS opinion does not actually offer any legal advice but offers on the contrary a purely abstract assessment of the compatibility with EU primary law of the Commission's draft legislative act proposed last May.
Secondly, it is actually the non-disclosure of legal analyses such as the one in this CLS opinion which can be said to be more likely to undermine the quality of legal advice. Indeed, in the absence of external scrutiny, potentially inadequately reasoned legal analyses may influence the Council without the Council being able to rely on alternative legal analyses. Therefore, it is in the Council's interest to disclose CLS opinions offering general Treaty compatibility assessments so as to make sure it is receiving the best possible and balanced legal advice.
Thirdly, and notwithstanding the above, your decision does not specifically explain how the full disclosure of the CLS opinion would in practice undermine the ability of the CLS to provide legal advice in the future. Non-disclosure cannot be justified on the basis on purely hypothetical risks without any specific and concrete reasoning directly connected to the actual content of the document whose disclosure is sought.
Lastly, your decision does not take into account at all the fact that the CLS opinion relates to a pending legislative procedure. There is no balancing of the particular interest to be protected by non-disclosure of the CLS opinion "against, inter alia, the public interest in the document being made accessible in the light of the advantages stemming, as noted in recital 2 in the preamble to Regulation No 1049/2001, from increased openness, in that this enables citizens to participate more closely in the decision-making process and guarantees that the administration enjoys greater legitimacy and is more effective and more accountable to the citizen in a democratic system, are of particular relevance where the Council is acting in its legislative capacity." (Case C-350/12 P).
I should also recall that it is well established in the Court of Justice's case law that Regulation 1049/2001 imposes, in principle, an obligation to disclose the opinions of the CLS relating to a legislative process. Any refusal, on account of the protection of legal advice, to disclose a specific legal opinion, given in the context of a legislative process, must be comprehensively reasoned and those reasons must detail precisely the extent to which the relevant CLS opinion is of a particularly sensitive nature or has a particularly wide scope that goes beyond the context of the legislative process in question.
The Council's refusal in the present instance neither demonstrates that the CLS opinion whose disclosure is sought goes beyond the context of the legislative process in question nor does it justify the "particularly sensitive nature" of the CLS opinion, speaking instead of 'very sensitive' discussions (nothing to do with content therefore) before describing the CLS opinion as 'particularly sensitive' due to a 'reasonably foreseeable risk of litigation', which however is not one of the lawful exceptions laid down in Regulation 1049/2001.
To conclude, I respectfully submit that the refusal to fully disclose the CLS opinion is not only incompatible with Regulation 1049/2001, it furthermore breaches EU primary law and ignores the Court's case law regarding the non-disclosure of alleged "legal advice" in a context where the Council is acting in its legislative capacity.
In a context of where EU values are increasingly under attack by autocratic authorities, and an increasing number of official EU reports have evidenced the misuse of EU funds on an industrial scale in a number of countries, especially Hungary, and where the rule of law is under systemic threat, there is an overriding public interest in the disclosure of a "legal opinion" which, as reported in the press, is being used to prevent the adoption of measures which aim to better protect the EU's budget in case of in case of generalised deficiencies as regards the rule of law in the Member States.

Detroit artists planning Aretha Franklin tribute show

I recently attended an oil and gas investor conference. This conference was an opportunity for operators to provide insight into their business to their investors. One thing that was really clear through the presentations I attended is that the Permian Basin is receiving a lot of attention from all types of operators – big and small, new and old. Activity levels have increased significantly because this area has become a go-to region for investment. Our industry is leveraging technology and growing its knowledge to drive down the cost to produce wells in the Permian. This bodes well for continued development even if oil prices dip somewhat. Danos is well positioned to remain a part of the Permian growth story that is being watched from all over the world.
We have been in the Permian for over 5 years now. As you know last year we recommitted in a significant way because of our awareness of the amount of investment taking place in the Permian. Since our first days in the region, we have always had a good team on the ground. They have grown our business from initial startup to over 200 people. Just as importantly we developed a reputation for providing outstanding service in the key operational areas of our business. Our Permian team was recently strengthened when both Jeremy Adkins and Rene Vidrine moved to Midland to support our growth plans for that area. Our goal is to double the size of Danos' business during the next three years in the Permian. Much of that growth is expected to come from our Automation and Construction lines of business. Today we have little work in either of those service lines; we mainly provide Production services.
To achieve this kind of growth we need to recognize that this is a different market and it needs to be approached differently. Even though we are fundamentally doing the same thing in that we are producing oil and gas, the Permian is in many ways very different than the Gulf of Mexico. We are adapting our processes to this market.
Progress can be seen in many areas. We have a new facility that can support Automation and Construction where before we weren't set up to support these service lines. We are learning how to estimate and bid jobs for this market. We are looking into new ways to execute these land jobs that are much different than offshore. We have a new focus in the way we market Danos and engage potential customers. The sales and business development team is focused on expanding our customer base and cross-selling services to support the financial commitment we made to the Permian. These efforts appear to be paying off. We are on pace to triple the number of potential customers we've pre-qualified, and although we started with only one customer today are actively working with 8 customers.
I'm glad that our team has recognized this opportunity to operate in a different market and is willing and able to be adaptive to apply our collective energy to the Permian. Stay tuned for future updates.

Market Street to be repaved this weekend
Local // Bay Area & State
Kale Williams, Michael Cabanatuan June 5, 2013
Bicyclists ride down Market Street during the Friday morning commute without having to share the road with regular commuter traffic, August 27, 2010, in San Francisco, Calif. For nearly a year now, an experiment has been underway diverting traffic at Sixth and 10th streets on Market Street.

Potholes and cracks on Market Street have been spot-patched for decades, leaving drivers and bicyclists alike to dodge, weave and bump their way along one of the city's busiest corridors, but the worst stretch will be getting a much-needed makeover this weekend.
Market Street will be closed for repaving from Van Ness Avenue to Sixth Street at 7 p.m. Friday and won't reopen until construction is completed Saturday evening.
Westbound traffic will be rerouted north to Turk at Fifth Street and back to Market at Van Ness Avenue. Eastbound traffic will be rerouted south at Van Ness through the South of Market area and back to Market at Fifth Street. Traffic on all streets crossing Market will be unaffected.
Department of Public Works crews are expected to lay down roughly 1,300 tons of asphalt over 100,000 square feet of Market Street during the estimated 24 hours of construction, smoothing over lanes that are primarily used by passenger cars and bicyclists.
"This repaving initiative will last longer and create a much safer and more comfortable experience for the thousands of people who use the street every day," Mohammed Nuru, director of the DPW, said in a press release.
The repaving project will revitalize the curbside lanes of Market Street, which haven't seen a major upgrade in roughly 30 years. The center lanes, which are reserved for Muni, will be unaffected.
This fix comes four years before construction is set to begin on the Better Market Street Project, a major overhaul that aims to transform the often clogged and blighted boulevard into a destination for city residents and tourists.
But some of the bumps and potholes just couldn't wait that long.
"We have an opportunity now to do a quick project ... that will make Market Street safer and smoother for travelers," said DPW spokeswoman Rachel Gordon.
Paving is also scheduled for the remainder of the curbside lanes of Market Street east of Sixth Street, with the stretch between Steuart and Third streets tentatively planned for June 21-22 and the section between Third and Sixth streets to be completed in July.

Parking vs. homelessness: RVs and other oversize vehicles need to hit the road at least when it comes to overnight parking, the Municipal Transportation Agency board decided Tuesday.
But is the RV ban an attack on a segment of the homeless population or is it an effort to keep large vehicles - many of them owned by businesses, mechanics and transportation operators - from sucking up too much of the city's scarce parking supply and turning some neighborhoods into parking lots for vehicular behemoths?
After listening to nearly two hours of testimony, mostly from people who live in vehicles and homeless advocates, the MTA board voted 4-1 to ban vehicles longer than 22 feet or taller than 7 feet from parking overnight on 35 sections of streets in the Sunset, the Bayview, South of Market and other neighborhoods.
Director Cristina Rubke cast the lone vote against the ban with directors Cheryl Brinkman, Malcolm Heinicke, Jerry Lee and Joel Ramos voting for it. Directors Tom Nolan and Leona Bridges were absent.
Several people who live in their vehicles urged the board not to approve the ban, which would subject them to being fined $65 for each offense, saying they were struggling to stay out of homeless shelters or sleeping outside. They said they feared they would be unable to pay the fines and have their homes on wheels seized or booted.
But some residents of neighborhoods filled with parked vehicles, ranging from corporate buses and panel trucks to school buses and vehicles being refurbished, said the practice created a wall that also attracted illegal dumpers and other criminals. And some whose neighborhoods have people living in RVs said the practice created health and safety problems.
The program, which is a test program, will begin as soon as 1,300 signs notifying drivers of the ban are posted.
Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, criticized the vote.
"At a time when we have this huge housing crisis and people are being forced out of their homes and into vehicles, this is a really bad decision," she said.

"And I said 'No, I did not know that'. He said 'Well, it's just a rule'. So I said 'Well, it's not my rule'."
Parton added: "And I cried all night long, 'cause I was so disappointed. It wasn't Elvis, I loved Elvis. And I'm sure he was as disappointed as I was because he had it all worked up and ready to go. I know he loved the song."

The TinLizzie18 ESP Limited has the ability to stop in the needle up or needle down position with exact precision, minimizing bent or broken needles and allowing free movement of the machine.
Built-In Bobbin Winder With Large Bobbin.
The TinLizzie18 ESP Limited offers a built-in bobbin winder that winds while you quilt, so your next bobbin is always full and ready. It also features the largest available bobbin capacity, the M-size bobbin.
The handlebars are fully-adjustable to any position helping to ease tension and tired muscles, and make intricate quilting easier. Now that's elegant, sophisticated and precise!
Integration of Quilt Magician & ESP Stitch Regulator.
A seamless integration where technology meets computerized quilting: Simply attach the hardware, plug it in, and you have a fully-automated system. Simplicity at its best.
The TinLizzie18 ESP Limited requires little maintenance. The oil is self-contained so you no longer have to worry about oil on your quilts or oiling the hook with every bobbin change.

Q: Saving an Environment Variable back to Team City from Powershell We have a need that periodically, we will run a build configuration that among other things, recreates tokens/logins etc. We want to save these back to Team City as Environment variables. Builds that we subsequently do will want to look at this Environment Variable store and do a string replace within our configurations as required.
I've taken a look at :
##teamcity[setParameter name='env.TEST' value='test']

But from reading the documentation, this is only used to pass variables between build steps within the same build. It doesn't actually save the variable back to Team City.
Is there any way (Preferably from a powershell script), to call Team City and tell it to add a Environment Variable (Or any other variable).

A: In order to persist a value back to a parameter you have to call the REST API.
I use a PowerShell script that acts as a wrapper around the Invoke-RestMethod cmdlets in PowerShell 3+ that can be reused in a build step to achieve what you want.
Step 1.
Save the script to a PowerShell file and add it to your source control rest-api-wrapper.ps1
Step 2.
Create a PowerShell build step referencing the script and pass in the following arguments, tailored for your situation
%teamcity.serverUrl%/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/project_id/parameters/parameter_name
"Username"
"Password"
"PUT"
"TheValueToSave"

More details can be found here - TeamCity Documentation
Hope this helps

I feel very smug, getting almost all of Membership working for a client of mine and I have an Open section (most of the site) for Strangers, a Standard and a Premium.
Client wants to show video on Standard and Premium so I went to Options > Download / Media and and created two Protected Groups (Standard and Premium) and selected "Complete Protection".
I uploaded 2 x graphics as a test, one called premium.png and one standard.png and selected the group by editing the media and using drop down menu.
Rules: On Standard, I left my URL rules in place and also added another negative Download rule so that they can't view Premium content Premium.
I created relevant pages to test (Premium and Standard)and everything works as per my test environment right up until the point I add my protected media, then I now get a dark / blank screen (when logged in as "standard1" to test it).
By the way, I also see the whole URL has now changed to my protected content mask on my test page (where I show standard and premium pages). Is this normal?
I can help you with this. Are you getting the dark/blank screen within one of the other pages? Or is it on the "protected" page?
So, is your test development online? Or local? Tracking these membership issues down is usually easier if we can take a quick look at the issue first hand. But I understand if this isn't possible.
If you're using Chrome or Firefox, you can use the built in developer tools and check the network tab to see if an image is getting loaded at all.
Look forward to helping you get this figured out.
That's very kind of you coming back to me like this.
The dark screen is only on protected pages.
This is a live environment - happy to give you admin credentials. How do I ship these to you? You can email callum at barclayjames.co.uk.
Ok that would be great. You can just send them to me via our contact form: https://premium.wpmudev.org/contact/ Choose "I have a different question" and Just include my name, and a link back to this thread.
Looking forward to helping you get this fixed!
Alright I was able to get this figured out. I created an account called "standard2" that you can delete.
I don;t know exactly why, but the downloads rule needed to be applied as "positive" I changed the standard group to use advanced rules and allow for both negative and positive. Having the downloads in the positive and the rest negative wont cause any conflicts.
You also may have noticed that when signed in as admin and using "View as: Standard" it was working. This is because when you're admin, the download/media restrictions are always overridden.
Firstly, may I thank you for your help in this. I really love dealing with WPMU. The support and assistance from the whole group is first class. This is why I suggested this plugin to the client rather than trawl the rest of the market and chose thew wrong thing. Actually, it was a post similar what I am writing right now which made me choose MarketPress over a well known eCommerce solution in the first place.
But I digress. I'm that I have not had time to check your work yet but the client will be pushing me back end of week so I'll check this out and close this ticket off later in the week.
I will need to add 6 videos for both memberships, I guess I just create appropriate media cloaking as you have done.
Yes, you can setup the media protection in that way and it should work. Let me know how it goes when you get to this! Hopefully all works out well, but if you need anything else, just let us know!
First class Sir. All working as planned. You are a true life-saver.
I am astonished continually at the levels of support around your products, whether they might be premium or lite.
Thanks a million. If you are ever in Birmingham England, shout at me and I'll buy you a slap up dinner and a few pints of local ale!
So glad you were able to get this up and going. Just let us know if anything else comes up that we can assist with!
Alex, are you still about? Site goes live next week and I've got a small issue in that Administrator accounts have got access to content but I seem to have lost it for everyone else! Grrr.
Just took a look, and your URLs on the welcome page were being treated as content, so the plugin was using the media protection on them. I fixed it by scaling back the media protection to basic settings.
You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know. I'm sorry it's confusing. We're working on some projects to help improve documentation for this sort of thing. There are many features in all our plugins that could use a little more attention by putting things in writing.
Yes, your products are genuinely amazing. When I told the customer that this plugin had a 67 page manual, I don't think she believed me..!
Haha, well thanks for the positive feedback!
