Family Resemblance

Emily Yoffe

Photograph by Teresa Castracane.

Emily Yoffe, aka Dear Prudence, is on Washingtonpost.com weekly to chat live with readers. An edited?transcript of the chat is below. (Sign up here?to get Dear Prudence delivered to your inbox each week. Read Prudie?s?Slate columns?here. Send questions to Prudence at prudence@slate.com.)

Emily Yoffe: Good afternoon. I look forward to your questions.

Q. Fianc?'s Niece Is His Love Child: My mind is still reeling. My fianc? confessed to me last week that his younger niece is actually his child. He had a short affair with his brother's wife, who conceived the month her husband was away. They ended things just before finding out she was pregnant, and she lied about the dates to cover it up. My fianc? knew all this and said nothing because he didn't want to break up their family. My fianc?'s brother is a good guy and I genuinely like him. I've never seen a man so devoted to his wife and children. I don't know if I can spend the rest of my life being a part of this lie. My future in-laws are a close-knit family and everyone frequently gets together. They actually had a family dinner a few days ago which I've avoided because I don't know how I can look at either my fianc?'s brother or his wife in the eye. I also have complex feelings about the "niece"?biologically speaking, she will be my stepchild! I love my fianc? so much but how can I marry into his family knowing what I know now?

A: Have I got a movie for you! Spoiler alert, but next year be sure to take the entire family to a screening of "August: Osage County" based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play. Let's just say when the major plot twist is revealed, there should be enough squirming in the seats to loosen the bolts. Often in cases where the man who thinks he's the father is not the father there is the potential for a genetic time bomb to go off if some future medical issue in the future reveals the questionable paternity. But in the case of brothers, it's far less likely that even a cheek swab?in the rare event it should it ever come up?would point to your fianc?'s perfidy. Of course this revelation is shocking and you are looking at the family you about to join in a new and deceitful light. I'm generally in favor of the truth, but with caveats. In this case there's nothing to be gained by the truth blasting apart this family. And I hope you are only the third person to be let into the circle of this secret, and that you remain the final one. As despicable as your fianc?'s behavior was, it does speak to his love for you and his desire to have an honest start that he told you. You do not have to make any decisions now. You should be honest with your fianc? and tell him that this is news that's going to take you a while to process. But please fight the "complex" feelings about your niece. Morally, legally, and every other way she is the child of your future brother-in-law and sister-in-law and if you go ahead and marry your fianc? you should be able to look on this girl with love and equanimity.

Q. Felon Father-in-Law: My father-in-law was convicted for a white-collar crime and spent three years in a federal facility. Our children are 6 and 4 and they are permitted to spend time with my father-in-law in a group setting where at least my husband or I are present. My father-in-law is not a violent man, but we know that prison can change people and we do not want to take any risks. We plan to explain my father-in-law's conviction?and consequences?in age-appropriate ways. The issue is that my parents think that my father-in-law should have zero time with the children at all and refuse to have the family in their home or attend a gathering with them (like my daughter's 7^th birthday in a few weeks). My parents think that since my father-in-law is a criminal, one the prices that he should pay is limited access to family. They have threatened to sue for grandparent rights, claiming that we are unfit parents by exposing our children to a felon. Any advice for this situation?

A: Given the scope of our economic meltdown and the people at the top who were making millions selling fantasies, I think it's a shame that more families aren't dealing with your dilemma of what to do when the family's financial executive gets out of prison. You say your father-in-law did time for a white-collar crime. Sure prison changes people, but I doubt your father-in-law is flexing his prison tats and hanging out with his homies from Dead Man, Inc. You should tell your parents they need to back way off. Your father-in-law paid his debt to society and he is absolutely no threat to your kids. Say what will be damaging is if they bring a groundless lawsuit that tears your family apart and ends up causing their own estrangement.

Q. Swinging Friends: My closest friends of 35 years are swingers. This has probably gone on for about 20 years, and they seem happy. She told me about it about 20 years ago, and they were both shocked when I didn't think this was great. I decided early on that since they were consenting adults, and kept this well away from their three kids and out of the house, it wasn't my place to judge. She quit telling me some of the details after picking up on my discomfort, and the one time she directly asked my opinion, I was honest and said I thought they were playing with fire. For the past couple of years, it was clear they had formed a relationship with another couple, which was obvious to me?weekends away, etc. The problem is, they now want me to MEET this couple, and in fact had set up a surprise drop-in by them at their home, which was canceled at the last minute. I am terribly uncomfortable with meeting the other couple, but I don't know how to avoid it! How does one greet the people your married friends are sleeping with?

A: It's amazing that at this point in life the fire is still roaring and the heat is not just hot flashes. Your dearest friends have a wild sex life and you've made clear you want to know nothing about it. Apparently they need a reminder. So be blunt: "Mildred I thought I made it clear that I don't want to hear about what you and Sheldon do in your spare time. I'm glad you've found some people you're compatible with, but we don't want to drop by for a surprise meeting of people with whom you drop your drawers."

Q. Confessing My Darkest Secret: I have fallen in love with a wonderful woman, but I harbor a secret I'm terrified will send her running in the other direction. Seven years ago a vengeful ex-girlfriend falsely accused me of raping and beating her. She either hurt herself or convinced someone to hurt her. I was arrested, and my parents spent most of their savings on the lawyer who finally exonerated me. Eventually the cops figured out she lied, though at that point many people at our small college saw me as a rapist. I have undergone extensive counseling and am in a much better place now, but no amount of therapy can calm my fear that when they hear my story, people will go running in the other direction. I love my girlfriend but do not know how to begin to tell her about the false rape accusation. If you are kind enough to answer this question, I seriously hope it doesn't inspire gender-bashing or hyperbole from readers. I just need advice about how to confess this secret.

A: You've been through a terrible trauma and it's something you should share with someone you love. Even though you've had therapy it sounds as if you've absorbed much of the shame that was heaped on you. Perhaps a new therapist can help free you more. Of course you want to put this behind you and not dwell on it, but a righteous indignation instead of fear should inform your feelings. Before you tell your beloved, rehearse what you want to say?you will not be convincing if you speak with an air of terror. Remember you, not your ex, were the victim. Say you want her to know about a terrible episode in your life because it's something important you experienced and because you wouldn't want her to hear a distorted version from someone else. If you have some legal paperwork about your exoneration you can offer to show her, explaining you know such cases can raise doubts in people's minds, and you don't want her to have any about you.

Jonas Cohen and Lisa Jolley Turn the Offbeat Biodrama ?Souvenir ...

Jonas Cohen and Lisa Jolley star in ?Souvenir? (photos by Adam Twiss/Keith Tew)

Every one of us has family members or friends who think that they can sing, but whose caterwauling sets the neighborhood dogs to barking for miles around. Perhaps, no one was more deliriously self-deluded in this regard than 1930s and 1940s New York news media sensation Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944), who not only fancied herself as an opera singer with perfect pitch ? but as a coloratura soprano! ? and gave a series of recitals. First came private affairs with invited audiences, but later she gave public performances to raise money for worthy causes.

Jenkins even made a few surprisingly successful recordings ? all without ever realizing that she was a laughingstock for a growing legion of fickle fans, who showed up at her concerts to snigger as she mangled Messrs. Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, etc. (To hear samples of Florence Foster Jenkins? singing, click http://www.youtube.com/.)

Wednesday?s opening-night performance of the current Hot Summer Nights | Theatre Raleigh presentation of ?Souvenir: A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins by Stephen Temperley is a real knee-slapper, starring Lisa Jolley as Jenkins and Jonas Cohen as her long-suffering and increasingly concerned piano accompanist, teacher, and friend Cosm? McMoon, who becomes more and more fearful that one day soon Mrs. J will discover that the joke is on her! But Florence Foster Jenkins is inexplicably oblivious to the smothered laughs and stifled snorts of her audiences.

Broadway veteran Lisa Jolley may be the headliner in the preshow publicity, but the plum part is that of New York actorand pianist Jonas Cohen, who is performing the role of Cosm? McMoon for the fifth time. Cosm? is an openly gay man at a time when most gay men were deep ?in the closet.? He is also temperamental with a capital T, and Cohen squeezes every delicious drop out of this juicy role as Mrs. Jenkins accompanist, teacher, and confidant, who doubles as the show?s narrator of the series of flashbacks occasioned by the 20th anniversary of her death in 1944.

Jenkins? bellows and screeches are fingernails on Cosm??s personal blackboard, yet he endures them for the sake of friendship and a stipend that keeps food on his table and a roof over his head.

Meanwhile, Lisa Jolley plays the supremely self-confident but clueless Florence Foster Jenkins as straight as a die as she butchers aria after aria from the operatic repertoire. It must be tough for this superlative actress and singer to cast aside the keen self-awareness and intelligence that she brings to each role and sing song after song hilariously off-key.

Director Richard Roland gets nicely nuanced, fully three-dimensional performances from Lisa Jolley and Jonas Cohen, and Hot Summer Nights | Theatre Raleigh patrons get a welcome respite from the is-so, is-not childish churlishness of the current election season.

Scenic designer Chris Bernier?s splendid evocation of Mrs. Jenkins? music room, complete with a baby grand piano, and costume designer Vicki Olson?s eye-catching creations ? especially Jenkins? outrageously campy and over-the-top wardrobe for her 1944 Carnegie Hall concert ? also deserve their own special round of applause.

Bravo to the Hot Summer Nights | Theatre Raleigh cast and crew for a thoroughly delightful presentation in which they resurrect one of the most notorious characters in American performing-arts history. Kitsch has never sounded so sweet. Souvenir is truly a night to remember.

Doing your own PR as a start-up, and how to write a press release ...

A few weeks back I spoke at one of Stylist Magazine?s Stylist Network events, which focused on building a world-famous business. While these have formerly focused on vertical sectors, the team told me that at each event they?ve held, how to promote a business, pitch to journalists and write a press release were issues that come up time and time again.

Joining me on the panel was beauty pioneer Jo Malone, who after selling her namesake brand to Estee Lauder in 1999 and remaining at the helm till 2006 founded Jo Loves (joloves.com) last year. She gave an utterly inspirational talk about the four key things she thought were vital to every entrepreneur (summed up wonderfully by Maggie here). Also on the panel was Eimear Lambe, Twitter?s small-business expert, who provided an intro to using the social platform as a startup, and Olivia?Phillips, senior fashion assistant for Stylist, who gave the crowd the lowdown on pitching the mag.

I did a short session on the five things every startup could do for themselves in terms of PR, but couldn?t resist cheating a little and packing in more than that. Giving advice on practical things businesses can do to promote themselves is one thing, but without a plan and a goal, you might be putting your energy into the wrong things.

The two slides I showed the crowd are below; the first contains the six questions most agencies will want to answer before building a PR strategy, so as a business-owner you could do this yourself, the second is a snapshot of some basic tactics that can then be applied to start building buzz. Typically I?d rave about Twitter, but Eimear pretty much had that locked down

After the Q&A (which was full of questions, lovely to see) we broke off into separate groups. I took three sessions on writing a press release, with my advice covering the following:

• A press release is really just a way to send out information, but you can turn this into anything you like. While the most typical format for this for a PR agency is to write a release, a business owner might just want to send out a few emails to key contacts, or tweet a few journalists to meet for a coffee. Don?t be constrained to a traditional press release structure, and do what?s appropriate for your business. There?s no ?doing it wrong? in this respect.
• Ask yourself if you really need to write the release before you do so. Is what you?re saying really new/interesting/newsworthy? Why will people care? Key influencers get sent hundreds of emails a day with releases or pieces of news in, so yours will have to stand out.
• What will the headline be of the?news story?a blogger or journalist will write after they receive your release? Take that and make it the headline of your release.
• Don?t send your release as an attachment, instead copy & paste in plain text into your email using the pitch template at the bottom of this page. It?s a controversial one, since some people don?t actually mind attachments ? but on the whole, most journalists and bloggers tend to dislike them as the excess file size clogs up their inboxes.
• The same goes for pictures. This splits opinion, but to be safe, it?s better not to send any in your first pitch but have high resolution, good quality images available to send immediately when requested.
• When pitching, don?t waste your email subject with pointless additions like ?breaking news? (it?s not ?breaking? if you?ve had time to write a press release about it)
• Don?t use vague terms like ?leading? or ?highly scalable? ? they add nothing to your release and anyone using it to write a story will only strip them out anyway, so don?t waste your time
• Try not to make tenuous links to current affairs. While I?m all for being seasonal and topical, unless there?s a natural link between your product and a high profile news event, any release that ties the two together is just an awkward read
• Last but not least, don?t send a release and then be out of reach/go on holiday. It?s a wasted opportunity if someone does get back to you.

While talking this through, I also drew a diagram of the layout of a typical email pitch, which I also thought might be useful to mock up again and share (see below!)

All in all, I had a great time on the night and those I spoke to felt the same. You can find out more business-focused advice and the latest on Stylist Magazine?s events here.

Pa. police: Suspect tried to eat marijuana plant

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) ? Perhaps it was a case of the munchies.

Police in northeastern Pennsylvania say an alleged pot dealer tried to destroy evidence by eating a marijuana plant.

The Times-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/Sk4LmI ) that 33-year-old Jeremiah Carmody faces several drug-related charges following events on Monday in Scranton.

Police say Carmody tried to eat the plant after authorities went to his house to serve a warrant.

Authorities ended up seizing the remains of the plant, four pounds of marijuana, digital scales, $2,600 in cash and drug paraphernalia.

Carmody was in Lackawanna County Prison awaiting arraignment Monday night. It wasn't immediately clear Tuesday if he had a lawyer.

Should You Lease Or Buy Commercial Real Estate : simsadler.net

There typically is far more profit to be made in buying commercial real estate than there is in home purchases. Finding the right opportunity is not easy. This article provides a lot of useful information that will make you more knowledgeable of the factors involved in commercial real estate. Learning this information, and following the advice provided, will enable you to make smart and profitable commercial real estate decisions.

Educate yourself about the measurements of NOI: Net Operating Income. Staying in the positive is what you need to do to succeed.

If you rent out your commercial properties, always remember to keep them occupied. You are legally responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of unoccupied spaces. Consider why your property has driven away tenants and try to rectify the situation.

If you have two commercial properties on your short list, you should buy the larger one, if at all possible. Finding the right bank to finance you might be hard, even if you are going for a smaller building. However, buying several units will cause the price of an individual unit to decrease.

When purchasing property, look at the amount of units available. More units equals more money in your pocket. Some investors won?t even visit a property with less than 10 units, and many reach far larger than that.

Commercial property dealings are exponentially more complicated and time intensive than buying a residential home is. Understand, however, that this additional time and effort often translates into higher returns.

Itis customary for the borrower to arrange for the appraisal on a commercial loan. Banks will not allow them to be used later. Therefore, to protect yourself and keep your commercial loan on track, order the appraisal yourself.

Interview your prospective real estate broker to determine what they view as failures and successes, to see if their standards match yours. You need to know how they will measure results. Look for online ratings or complaints. If your own views differ greatly from a potential broker, you two may be incompatible for a business relationship.

Ensure there is adequate access to utilities on the commercial property. You will need access to electricity, water, sewer and maybe gas in addition to any unique need that your business has.

Consider the economy in the area you?d like to buy real estate in before investing there. Commercial property near hospitals or schools have higher property values; these properties are also easier to sell.

After reading the article above, you should have a better grasp of the basics of investing in commercial real estate. Try to stay flexible and always try to think on the fly as you move throughout the real estate market. If you do this, you can be in a good position to get the most profit.
