Nemacolin resort a sprawling expanse of posh possibilities

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:29:35 GMT

It’s dawn and as the first shards of light cut up from the lush green mountains around me, a lion’s roar announces that it’s morning.I’m not on safari nor near a zoo. I’m at Pennsylvania’s Nemacolin, (nemacolin.com), the poshest resort you’ve probably never heard of.But like that lion’s morning roar (a rescue by the resort’s owner), Nemacolin is making itself known.Tucked into Pennsylvania’s Allegheny Mountains – about a 90 minute drive from the Pittsburgh Airport – Nemacolin came about on something of a whim: Lumber magnate Joseph Hardy (84 Lumber Company), purchased a hunting lodge on the property for his daughter Maggie when she was 21, mostly because she loved the outdoors.But Maggie Hardy, who still oversees the resort’s operation along with her son PJ Magerko Liquorice, found her calling on those grounds and built over the years an expansive, welcoming resort.It’s moneyed roots are evident: statues rise out of water and peer down from roofto...

Scorsese goes behind the scenes of ‘Flower Moon’

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:29:35 GMT

For Martin Scorsese, one highlight of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” his epic adaptation of David Grann’s best-selling true crime tale, is that it pairs for the first time the two actors that define and bookend his career: Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.“Killers” charts the murderous rampage in 1920s Oklahoma that decimated the Osage Nation tribal members who, because of oil on their reservation, were among the richest people in America.  But the indigenous natives could not sell their stake, it could only be inherited.That saw white men, including DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart,  marry and murder Osage women to acquire their fortune. The killer conspiracy is led by the benevolent-seeming Oklahoma entrepreneur William King Hale (De Niro). What makes Burkhart so conflicted is that he genuinely loves his Osage heiress Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone).In a virtual global press conference earlier this week Scorsese, 80, noted, “It was very important for me as soon as I saw the book,” that ...

Bill Burr’s ‘Old Dads’ has lots of bark, little bite

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:29:35 GMT

Bill Burr’s comedy comes from the perspective of a middle-age dude unwilling — or unable — to keep up with the progressives.“Old Dads,” streaming on Netflix, mirrors his stand-up act. He plays a small-business owner on the verge of being canceled for “sins” like sharing a joke about Caitlyn Jenner during a work trip and telling off a snooty principal at his son’s school. His main gripe: Politically correct people don’t really care about the plight of others; they’re just trying to stay out of trouble.Burr recruited some top talent for his directorial debut (he also co-wrote the script with Ben Tishler). Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine play his hapless business partners. Bruce Dern pops up as a cranky Uber driver.Burr unleashes some memorable rants, like when he lights into a motel owner who scolds him for smoking a cigar. But he ultimately pulls his punches. Just when the film is poised to rake the far left over the coals, he ends ...

Answering the dreaded ‘weakness’ question

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:29:35 GMT

Q. How do you answer the biggest weakness question without sounding like it’s a strength? Like, “I’m too detail-oriented” or “I’m a perfectionist.” This question always stumps me and it keeps coming up during my interviews.A. It’s a catch-22, isn’t it at times? You don’t want to admit to a weakness like procrastination while you’re supposed to be marketing the most stellar version of yourself. And you’re right — pointing out something like being too detail-oriented, too organized, too anything of something positive is actually a strength.If you come right out and address a weakness like being disorganized, there’s authenticity to that. When I worked in recruiting, I appreciated the honesty of candidates. The key is not having it be a dealbreaker. They usually followed up with, “I could stand to be more organized at my desk, I’m a work in progress, and it’s getting better, but I need...

Bergman: Murdering Jews is Hamas’ mission statement

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 20:29:35 GMT

“O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”In this injunction in Article Seven of the Hamas Covenant, ratified in 1988, one finds the reason for the invasion of Israel that began on Oct. 7.  Hamas does not merely seek the extermination of Jews.  That is why it exists.  That is why its fighters decapitate Israeli babies, rape Israeli women and burn victims alive.  That is why they humiliate Israel children and grandmothers before killing them.  That is why they slaughter over 200 Israeli teenagers gathered peacefully at a concert.  Everyone in Israel Hamas has murdered were murdered for one reason and one reason only – because they were Jews.  According to the same covenant, which reads like an addendum to Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” Jews are devoid of humanity, a demonic people responsible for everything Hamas objects to in human history, from the French Revolution to World War II.The atrocities Hamas has committed are not a regrettable byproduct of w...
