260. A Gadget Guy’s Guide to Holiday Gifts for Guys

 You might not know this, but we recently created a social network just for people who want to connect with others and share information about things to do and life here in Barrington.  You’ll find that network by visiting 365Barrington.net.
One of the people who already found and joined the network is a Barrington home inspector by the name of Eric Barker.  Eric has lived in Barrington since 1952.  He has been a licensed home inspector since 1993 and says he loves his job because it involves helping people.  Eric is one of the moderators on the American Society of Home Inspectors’ (ASHI) website forum and he enjoys sharing his knowledge about home maintenance with others.  Eric recently wrote several blog posts at 365Barrington.net about home safety tips and tools he loves to use for his business and around his house.  If you’re a die-hard gadget hound, if you’re related to one or if you play one on TV, here are Eric’s top four “gotta have” gadgets for 2010.…

你好! Today we're taking a quick look at some common honorifics! Okay, so what is an honorific? Basically, what we'd say in English would be "sir," "madam," "miss," etcetera. While Chinese also has titles for "teacher," "doctor," and their ilk, I'll focus on more general ones today. 先生 xiān shēng , literally "first born," is in practice an equivalent for "Mr.," or "sir." How do you use it? Place it /after/ the surname, so if you're talking to someone with the surname 王 wáng, you'd say 王先生. So, there are more ways to address a woman than there are to commonly address a man. 小姐 xiǎo jiě is basically the equivalent of "miss." It's used for a young, unmarried girl. Some preliminary research indicates to me that it's a pretty close equivalent to that English -- for example, you might use it in a restaurant calling down a waitress as well as to a young woman. 太太 tài tai is literally "wife," in one translation, but for this purpose it's closer to "Mrs.," or "madam." Just to reiterate: You're referring to a married woman whose (married) last name is 张 zhāng. She's called 张太太. Oh, and by the way, you'd use 太太 in familial or personal contexts... you might want to go with 女士 (nǚ shì) for a more formal context. Okay! #learnchinese #chineselanguage #chineseclubbhs #barringtonhighschool #365barrington #barrington #wordoftheday

“Despite the rocky start, participating in group now gives me a sense of belonging. After the first two weeks, online therapy finally clicked and gave me insight into managing my anxiety. Once I found my voice and started sharing my story and my anxieties, fellow patients taught me coping skills that worked for them. Even the long-winded group members empowered me with calm and focus. I wrote down three things I was grateful for every morning. I practiced meditation (which needed a lot of practice). I tuned into a progressive muscle relaxation video to guide me to tense and relax one body part at a time. Doing these exercises over and over reset my fear-infected brain.” Read more on the namicommunicate blog via the link in our bio. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsupport #mentalhealthforall #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthresource #suicideprevention #notalone #supportgroups #lakecountyil #lakezurichil #wauconda #buffalogrove #hoffmanestates #carpentersville #southbarrington #palatineil #barringtonil #barringtonillinois #bsd220 #365barrington #belocalbarrington #barringtonscoop #barringtonforward #quintessentialbarrington #namibarrington
