Chris Griese and Vicki Kappus weren’t sure what to do after a lightning strike destroyed their 1901 farmhouse in Grant seven years ago.Building on the foundation of the old house didn’t make sense, because the property on 118th Street North is in a flood plain, with setbacks and restrictions severely limiting the buildable area.Enter architect Rosemary McMonigal.McMonigal, principal of Minneapolis-based McMonigal Architects, spent hours walking the site, working on a plan to build a new house while saving as many trees as possible and taking advantage of the rural setting overlooking a marsh.“The site is one of a kind with the marsh here,” McMonigal said during a tour of the house on Thursday. “I cannot believe how beautiful it is. To me, because I live on a wetland, it is equally as beautiful as a lake. In Minnesota, everyone says, ‘Oh, it’s not a lake, it’s a marsh.’ But I think it’s as good or better because the bird life with a marsh is just so rich.”The ...

Broncos guards Quinn Meinerz, Ben Powers bonded this offseason over the most OL question of all time: “How do you do that field goal stance?”

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:25:50 GMT

When Quinn Meinerz heard the Broncos were signing Ben Powers to a lucrative multi-year contract this spring in free agency, he knew immediately he had a new running mate at guard.Meinerz, on the right side, had plenty of reason to be excited about Denver plugging in Powers on the left side.But when they actually met during OTAs, Meinerz figured run blocking technique, pass sets and Denver’s best places to grab a big meal could wait.He had a more pressing question on his mind.“How do you do that field goal stance?”Powers, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in Baltimore, was happy to teach.An offseason of work later, you can see them in games, flanking Denver long-snapper Mitch Fraboni, each lining up before the snap with their inside knee planted on the ground.It’s visually striking.

Review: ‘Expend4bles’ is aggressively, loudly mediocre

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:25:50 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated PressIt’s a throwaway line, but maybe a bit too meaningful, under the circumstances. “Gravity is setting in,” says Barney, Sylvester Stallone’s aging character in “Expend4bles,” when someone asks how he’s doing.Indeed. Gravity is setting in throughout “Expend4bles,” a movie whose most enticing mystery is not the secret identity of its shadowy villain, but how you pronounce the film’s title. Are we supposed to enunciate the mid-word numeral, or is it merely visual? Is this what stands for a smart new spin on a tired franchise? Will we soon have “My Big F4t Greek Wedding”? Are these questions supposed to distract us from how stunningly mediocre the film is?Perhaps we digress. This is, obviously, the fourth “Expendables” film, but our considered scientific opinion is that you needn’t see the first three to catch up. True, there’s no explanatory intro, but if yo...
