Khloé Kardashian can't seem to dodge all those baby rumors. It must be especially hard when someone in your own family is spreading the gossip.

On Tuesday, a video went viral that featured Khloé's father-in-law, Joe Odom opening up about his son, Lamar, and his wife. After years of trying, he said, the couple are expecting their first child together.

"Everything's working out. They love each other. I got a little news," he told Rumorfix when the site caught up with him on the street. "I'm about to have a grandchild. We don't really know yet what sex it is, but it's real. ... [They] have been trying to do this for a couple of years."

Perhaps Joe was misinformed? A source close to the reality star shot down the pregnancy talk to MTV News, insisting that Khloé is not expecting.

Since marrying NBA star Lamar back in 2009, Khloé has been the subject of rampant speculation about whether she's pregnant. On a recent episode of her E! show "Khloe & Lamar," she addressed the gossip, saying, "The rumors are so crazy. ... I'm now [supposedly] having in vitro and this; leave me alone."

When she stopped by CBS' "The Talk" last week, she opened up a bit more about all the baby talk, noting, "With the trade [to Dallas from Los Angeles for Lamar], moving back and forth, there is a reason we don't have a newborn baby right now.

"If I was having fertility treatments I would share with the world," Khloé added.

She and Lamar have been open on their reality show about wanting to start a family. While fans may have to wait a bit longer for a new addition to Kardasian-Odom family, her big sister Kourtney is expecting her second child with longtime love Scott Disick.

Pebble Smart Watch Raises Over $3M On Kickstarter After Asking For Only $100K

Screen Shot 2012-04-17 at 09.10.23A 'smart watch' that connects to an iPhone or Android to display information that appears on your phone seems somewhat of a no-brainer, but until now few convincing efforts have appeared. Now, a team has developed the "Pebble" project to do just that, and they have clearly untapped a latent need for such a watch amongst smartphone users. After asking for $100,000 on Kickstarter to create a few thousand devices they've raised well over $3 million over a month before their stated goal. Indeed, Pebble raised $1 million in its first 28 hours.

Retirement planning ? what's the right ratio of house/pension/ISAs ...

question mark?Reader Question:

I have been working hard on my pension & using the carry forward rules will have a large sum put away ? higher than the value of my home. But my savings are not too high ? less than ?100k in ISAs. What might the right ratio of money in house/pension/isas be?

?

My response:

It?s an interesting question.

The first thing to do is to get independent financial advice as your wider personal and financial circumstances need to be taken into consideration.?For help in finding the right financial adviser read my article?10 tips on how to find a good financial adviser

But obviously I want to give you some sort of idea.

Going back to your question you need to make sure you are comparing apples with apples. A house is an asset whereas a pension and?ISAs are tax wrappers in which you can invest in assets (stocks and shares etc)

What is a tax wrapper?

When you invest, two things to consider are ?how? you invest and ?what? you invest in. The ?how? is whether you invest via pension, ISAs, investment bonds, collectives etc. While the ?what? is usually the underlying investment itself, such as equities, bonds, property etc.

Without trying to oversimplify investment but think of it like a car. In order to get from A to B (ie your current situation to your desired stage in life) you need to choose a car. The car that best suits you will depend on the journey you plan to take, your current budget etc. Every car will have different running costs, tax etc and not one car suits all. Think of this as the investment wrapper (pension, Stock and Shares ISA etc). Once you have chosen a car you need to put petrol in it to get you to your desired destination. This is akin to the underlying investment choices. Clearly the petrol drives performance but the car can enhance it. But obviously it?s no good buying a Ferrari if all you plan on doing is going to the shops and back each day. It?s a similar thing with investment ? excessive costs can wipe out any benefit. A good financial adviser can help you make the investment decision that suits you and your plans.

Pension or ISAs?

When it comes to saving for retirement most people will automatically think of a pension. However, using Stock and Shares ISAs as part of your retirement planning is another option. In my article Pension vs ISA ? which is best for you I cover the issue in more detail which should help answer the relevant part of your question.

How much do you need to save for retirement?

The short answer is that it depends on how much retirement income you desire as well as the amount of capital you want in the bank. The only way to work this is out is to carry out a financial plan and again I suggest you seek financial advice.

But to give you a steer the following calculator and can tell you how much a?personal pension or money purchase pot (which I?m guessing you have) might generate.

The calculator can also help answer the following questions:

  • How much income will your current pension plan give me?
  • How much should you be putting away each month?
  • When can you retire?
  • Should you be saving for my retirement now?

Once you have played with the calculator (and done your sums) you should not be left in any doubt as to how much you might need to save for your retirement and what that retirement might look like.

Where should you be invested in? ? (how much in property, shares etc)

You appear to have included your home in your retirement planning. That is fine if you plan on downsizing otherwise relying on the value of one asset which you also need to use for retirement planning is risky.

If instead you build a portfolio of assets it is possible to diversify your investments so as to not put all your eggs in one basket. Consequently, other than your investment amount, there is nothing to stop you spreding your risk by investing in a range of asset with which to provide an income. By choosing the right combination of assets and investment wrapper/product to suit your circumstances you can enhance your returns. This is what a good financial adviser would do for you. This value added is often overlooked by investors who concentrate solely on investment performance. While investment performance is important so is tax efficiency, suitability and risk.

However, I am fan of tools that bring complicated concepts to life. Fidelity have created an interactive (and fun) animated tool which asks you a few simple questions such as your age, what you are investing for (such as a rainy day or retirement), your view on taking risks etc and then design an example asset allocation for you.

By asset allocation I mean how much you should be investing in UK company shares, how much you should be investing in property unit trusts etc.

Interactive investment tool (give it a few seconds to load and turn the volume up)

I hope that helps.

Interview: Megadeth?s David Ellefson Talks Shop About Rock Shop (Video)

rockshop2David Ellefson Rock Shop is a solid and simple guitar/bass amp-modeling app that runs on iOS. It is made by PocketLabWorks and works in conjunction with the company's iRiff Port cable/interface. In case you hadn't guessed by the name of the app, special consultation was provided by David Ellefson (bass player and founding member of Megadeth) in order to achieve the sound of his bass and guitar rigs. How does it sound? The tones, while specific to a few amps and cabinets, are quite excellent and resonant. The settings are based off Mr. Ellefson's amp setup which provides a gritty bass tone, full of attack. I liked it. (You can hear David playing through it at the PocketLabWorks website). I had a few questions about how it was developed so rather than take my usual Paneldome approach, this time I was able to track down David for a Skype call and get some info from him directly. He was kind enough to take the time to talk with me.

MagicPlan 2.0 Arrives: Create Instant Floor Plans Using Your iPhone Or iPad?s Camera

magicplanAugmented reality isn't always totally pointless. Sorry if you think it's hugely useful to see an augmented view of tweets around you just by holding up your phone, but I like to find slightly more advanced applications using the technology. One such app, MagicPlan, fits that description. From the two-year old startup Sensopia, the MagicPlan iOS app is rolling out version 2.0 of its floor plan capturing application today, which allows you to hold up your phone then scan the dimensions of the room to create an instant floor plan.

Is someone spying on your phone? Here's how to tell ... and what to do

You probably know there are plenty of apps you can install on your smartphone to track its location in case it gets lost or stolen. Apple's ?Find My iPhone? is one good one and many security apps, such as AVG Mobilation, can track down a phone in seconds.

But what if someone else is tracking you? Is there any chance your boss or spouse could be spying on everything you do on your phone?

It?s easy to do. Spy apps are plentiful and can imperceptibly track text and e-mail messages, location, Web sites you visit, who you call and what photos and videos you shoot. The problem is these apps are difficult to detect and run invisibly in the background.

I decided to track my son and installed?an app on his?phone called Android Phone Control by Laucass (free on Google Play?-- formerly called the Android Market). Of course, secretly intercepting electronic communications without the person's knowledge and consent is illegal, so I told my son I was doing it and that I?d only use it if I had good reason.

Every day I receive emails that indicate my son?s location as he?s using his phone out in the world. I can click on those links in my email to see via Google Maps where he is (although I very rarely do). I could also set up the app to send me data about everything else he?s doing on his phone, but that?s not something I personally need?or want?to do.

Signs your phone may have been compromised

  • Someone borrowed or took your phone

I had to have my son?s phone in hand to install Android Phone Control. Once activated, however, there?s no icon in the application launcher. The app shows up with the name ?Android System? in the applications manager so it doesn?t look suspicious. If you think someone could do something like this when you?re not paying attention or asleep, secure your phone with a passcode that isn?t easy to guess.

  • Your phone is acting weirdly

Taking forever to shut off, lighting up for no reason, suddenly getting much shorter battery life or running hot when you?re not using it may indicate hidden processes are running in the background.

  • Your data usage skyrockets for no reason

This could be because your phone is checking in with someone else, using GPS and sending them text messages or emails that communicate where you are and what you?re doing.

What do do if you suspect your phone's being monitored

The best thing to do is perform a factory reset, which you can find as an option in your phone?s settings. Know, however, that in doing so you will lose all data stored on your phone, so back it up first.

If you?re using Apple iCloud or Android 4.0, items like your contacts, photos and music are automatically synced and saved in the cloud. But if you have an older phone, you?ll want to make sure to export your contacts before doing a factory reset. There are various ways to do this depending on what phone you?re using and which operating system it?s running. If you?re not sure, get help from your cellular provider; they can make sure to retain your contacts and other important data during a factory reset.

You'll then want to use a strong passcode to prevent unauthorized access to your device. For Android devices, you can also install an app, like AppNotifier (free on Google Play), that will email you when programs are loaded onto your phone.

You'll then have to tackle the issue of who's doing the monitoring. Keep in mind that if your device was issued by your company or is authorized to access your company's email and other data services, you may have given your consent as part of your employment contract or when access was data access was granted.
