Jim Steinman, who died last year at 73 , left behind one of the most distinctive catalogs of music in history, filled with chart-topping hits written for the likes of Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler and Celine Dion. With songs ranging from the restless (“ All Revved Up With No Place To Go ”) to the wrenching (“ For Crying Out Loud ”), Mr. Steinman spent decades establishing himself as a sophisticated songwriter with the spirit of a teenager. “As far as Jim was concerned, life was about being forever young, and lusting after this and yearning after that,” said David Sonenberg, Mr. Steinman’s longtime friend, manager and now the executor of his estate. “He was going to be 17 forever, and in some ways he was.” But perhaps nothing evokes Mr. Steinman’s legacy like the Connecticut house where he lived alone for some 20 years — a majestic museum of the self, attached to a quaint cottage in the woods of Ridgefield. He spent years expanding and reimagining the house, transforming it … [Read more...] about A Gothic Rock Cottage Fit for a Bat Out of Hell

0 Politics & Government The village said it could work with the family to find a place for a new garage. David Giuliani , Patch Staff Posted | Updated Reply BURR RIDGE, IL – A Burr Ridge wheelchair user's request for a detached garage failed yet again Monday. In a unanimous vote, the Village Board denied resident Judy Rohan's plan for the garage at Glenn Drive and 94th Street. But the village's administrator, Evan Walter, said the village would work with Rohan and her husband, Michael Rohan, to find a plan that works. The couple needed permission because the garage would have violated the setback from 94th Street. They already have an attached garage, but said they needed an extra one for accessibility to her van. Last month, the village's Plan Commission unanimously recommended the board reject the request . Village officials contended the garage could be built in the backyard by the house, … [Read more...] about Burr Ridge Wheelchair User Rejected Again

In 2016, she defeated five other candidates to win the Democratic nomination for the Assembly seat vacated by Speaker Sheldon Silver when he was indicted on corruption charges. Six years later, she is running for Congress against a dozen other candidates, including fellow front-runners City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera , former House impeachment counsel Dan Goldman, and Representative Mondaire Jones, in the newly redrawn Tenth District . It includes Chinatown and the Lower East Side, which she represents in Albany. If she wins, 39-year-old Niou — whose parents emigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan when she was a child — would become only the second Asian American elected to Congress from New York, after Grace Meng. She has been endorsed by progressive heavyweights like the Working Families Party and the Sunrise Movement, as well as by some of her fellow state lawmakers, like progressives Julia … [Read more...] about Yuh-Line Niou on Her Especially Personal Run for Congress

Amnesty International (AI) said on Sunday that it “deeply regrets the distress and anger” caused by a press release last Thursday in which the group accused Ukrainian forces of deliberately endangering civilians by exposing them to Russian attacks. “Amnesty International has been rigorously documenting and reporting on war crimes and violations committed in Ukraine, speaking to hundreds of victims and survivors whose stories illuminate the brutal reality of Russia’s war of aggression. We have challenged the world to demonstrate its solidarity with Ukrainians through concrete action, and we will continue to do so,” AI said on Sunday. The group said that its press release on August 4, headlined “Ukrainian Fighting Tactics Endanger Civilians,” was unduly harsh on the Ukrainian military. There was nothing terribly ambiguous about the accusations AI leveled against the Ukrainians last week: Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing … [Read more...] about Amnesty International Apologizes for Report on Ukraine Harming Civilians
