Lifetime?s 7 Days Of Sex Challenge
I am so excited?and nervous! We are participating in Lifetime?s Seven Days of Sex Challenge! When I was emailed about this opportunity, I was taken aback. I had to think about if I could really do this. But then I got to thinking; these couples are doing it and they are on TV! Though my marriage is not in trouble, we have been married for 8 years, have two kids, another on the way and the stress of everyday life definitely takes its toll. Sex is not a priority any more, not like it was the first few years, and I will admit, spicing things up is not a bad idea. Especially being that I am pregnant! Some times we are just too tired, not in the mood, or plain and simple ? I feel HUGE! But I also know that after baby it won?t be any easier, and in fact, it will be more challenging.? The last time I really struggled with feeling okay having sex. My body changed in so many ways and I felt different. It was a real struggle. Perhaps this challenge will pave the way for us to really connect before the baby?s arrival, and [...]

FCC approves transfer of AWS spectrum from AT&T to T-Mobile
AT&T may have been hoping for the FCC to put the rejection stamp on its proposed transfer of key AWS spectrum to T-Mobile, but no such luck for the GSM giant this time. The fourth-largest carrier in the US, as a consolation prize for humoring AT&T's acquisition attempt, has been given the official go-ahead on accepting spectrum in a grand total of 128 Cellular Market Areas, including 12 of the top 20 markets in the country. This newly acquired property appears to be a key factor in T-Mo's LTE deployment strategy next year, as the company has recently announced plans to invest $4 billion in pushing out its next-gen network.

You can try Google Drive now Google gets back into the phone sales business, offering Galaxy Nexus for $399
The rumors were true -- Google once again is selling unlocked smartphones on its own, with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus going for $399 in the Google Play Store.
The phone Google's offering is an unlocked pentaband GSM device, same as what many of us had imported previously. The "pentaband" part means that it'll work on AT&T and T-Mobile 3G/4G networks. And because it's unlocked, you can take it out of the country and pop in another carrier's SIM card without needing an unlock code.
Google's tried selling phones before, starting with the original Nexus One in early 2010. That ended poorly, with customer support issues dogging Google, HTC and T-Mobile (which at launch was the only carrier to officially support the N1). Google finally shut down the phone store in May 2010 and said the Nexus One would come to retail stores. That didn't happen. Later, the remaining Nexus One stock was offered as a developer device.
So what happened? Google's Mario Queiroz told us at Google IO in May 2010 that "The web store as a direct distribution model is really a very small part of the overall Android strategy. With the Nexus One we had the objective of bringing to market a very technologically sophisticated phone, which we did, which really set a new bar for quality. And I think you've seen a lot of the phones in the market today, that have come to market in the past few months, have been influencing, in many ways ... by what the Nexus One was able to do."
Sweetening the deal is that Google Wallet -- which for some time has been official only on the Sprint Nexus S, and now on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus -- is preloaded on this GSM device.
For our part, this is the way Google should sell Nexus devices. Unlocked GSM versions, able to work on networks worldwide. And, of course, it's what some are calling the one "true" Nexus because you're able to build for it directly from the Android Open Source Project, with no pesky CDMA licensing restrictions keeping that from happening. (We don't quite subscribe to that "True Nexus" theory ourselves, though.)
Devices in Google Play right now is open only in the U.S. But Andy Rubin, in a blog post this morning, says it'll be coming to more countries. The obvious follow-up question is this, though: Google won't be stopping at selling phones at Google Play, will it?

In Milan, more residents answer to Hu than Ferrari
A list of the most common names in Milan revealed the extent to which immigration has changed the character of the business-oriented city.?
For decades the family name of ?Brambilla? has been by far the most common in Milan ? to the point that throughout Italy, where family names were originally strongly associated with geography, people still jokingly refer to Milan folks as ?Mister Brambillas? or ?Sciur Brambilla? (?sciur? being the world for ?Sir??in Milanese dialect).?
Skip to next paragraphSo when the local council published a list of the most common names in the city last week, many were surprised to find out that Milan has many more residents known as ?Mister Hu? than ?Mister Brambilla.?
Among the ten most common family names in Milan, three were of Chinese origin, pointing out how ethnically diverse this city in northern Italy has become. On the list, ?Rossi," a name common in Italy but not closely associated with the North, comes first, while Hu, of Chinese origin, is a close second. They are followed by five other typically Italian (but not typical specifically of Milan) names. In eighth is another Chinese name, Chen, while uber-Milanese ?Brambilla? comes only ninth, followed by yet another Chinese name, Zhou.
Think you know Europe? Take our geography quiz.
In the last three decades, a growing numbers of migrants, both from the rest of Italy and from abroad, have settled in Milan, mostly drawn by job prospects in the most business-oriented region of the country. Today one in every five Milan residents is either a foreign national or a descendant of migrant workers.
The Chinese community is one of the oldest in the city, dating back to the first wave of the immigration in the early 1900s. While some other nationalities, particularly from?Eastern Europe and North Africa,?are more numerous, Chinese names are predominant because there is less variety among last names.
?To us this whole comes as no surprise,? Luigi Sun, a representative of Milan's Chinese community of Milan, told the daily newspaper?Republica. ?We have known for a long time Hu is one of the most common names in the city. We have more serous stuff to think about.?
The most common names in Milan:?
- Rossi (Italy's most common name)
- Hu (Chinese)
- Colombo (most common in northern Italy, but not necessarily associated with Milan; the famous explorer Cristoforo Colombo, known in English as Christopher Columbus, was from Genoa)
- Ferrari (associated both with central and northern Italy)
- Bianchi (another very common name throughout the country)
- Russo (a variant of Rossi)
- Villa (a typical Milan name)
- Chen (Chinese)
- Brambilla (once thought to be Milan's most common name)
- Zhou (Chinese)
