"Colonel Mustard's claim to have invented baseball when he was Brown Owl of the 3rd Reppington Girl Guide Troop may be disputed by Americans ? but there's no doubt he invented the Home Run oven mitt. It looks like a traditional leather baseball glove but lets him keep his cool when the cookies are hot."

Samsung has confirmed that it will launch its Galaxy S3 Mini on Oct. 11. The smartphone maker is pretty much known for its larger handsets at this point ? namely the Galaxy Note and the full-sized Galaxy S3 ? but now it will cater to a crowd looking for something a little more compact.

Samsung's smaller Galaxy phone is slated for its big reveal during a press conference in Europe this Thursday. The confirmation reportedly came from JK Shin, head of Samsung Mobile Communications.?

As for the specs, the latest rumors point to a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution; a 1GHz dual-core processor; 1GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel camera and a 399 Euro price tag excluding taxes and subsidies.

Tritton Kunai headset ships to chatty PS3 and PS Vita gamers

Tritton Kunai headset ships to chatty PS3 and PS Vita gamers

There are plenty of gaming headsets, but only so many specifically tuned to the PlayStation audience that aren't made by Sony itself. Mad Catz' Tritton label has just shipped a version of its Kunai wired headset optimized for both the PS3 and the PS Vita that might redress that (admittedly minor) deficit. About the only real customization for Vita owners is the option for a shorter 3-foot cord, but PS3 owners can plug in through USB and adjust voice volume independently from the gunshots and explosions. Regardless of which game console the Kunai links to, there's a modest 25Hz to 20KHz headphone frequency range and few frills aside from a detachable boom microphone. Tritton is mostly counting on the price to lure us in, which just might work -- at $60, berating players in-game with a Kunai will cost as much as one of the games themselves.

Real Estate is Still a Good Deal - Heroic Investing

Welcome! If this is your first time visiting Jason Hartman's website, please read this page to learn more about what we do here. You may also be interested in receiving updates from our blog via RSS or via email if you prefer. If you have any questions about first responder finance feel free to contact us anytime! Thanks!

The US housing market appears to be on the road to recovery after the recent collapse that put millions of foreclosed homes on the market and turned homeowners across the country into renters. At the same time, home prices are rising and fewer foreclosures are hitting the markets in some areas, leaving potential investors wondering if real estate investing really yields results. But as Jason Hartman says, there?s still never been a better time to invest in rental real estate.

Recent reports on the fallout from the foreclosure crisis suggest that the supply of available foreclosure properties is drying up, with fewer single-family homes making it to the market as distressed properties. While that can be true in certain markets, many more foreclosures are still being processed, as lenders and the courts work to clear a backlog of foreclosure filings.

One major reason for the sluggish clearing of these cases relates to ongoing investigations into the legalities of many filings, with questions raised about proper documentation and the ownership of actual titles. As these cases are resolved, some real estate experts predict periods of heavy activity in distressed property sales, as these ?delayed foreclosures? work their way through the system and onto the market.

Another outcome of the housing collapse is the rapidly growing rental market. In some areas of the country, renters outnumber homeowners. Many of these renters are former homeowners, too, who lost their houses to foreclosure. Even though interest rates are low and financing is available, large numbers of people just aren?t financially stable enough to purchase a home, and will remain long-term renters. And, in some areas, large populations of childless professionals or students often opt to rent rather than own a dwelling. The result: a diverse, expanding group of potential tenants.

Along with the expanding demand for rental housing comes higher rents. In major markets around the country, and many smaller ones as well, the cost of rental housing continues to rise, with no downturn in sight. For investors in rental real estate, this means that setting competitive rents creates the potential for a higher return in the current market. Alternatively, pricing your rental at slightly below the current average can ensure that you?ll keep steady tenants, with benefits as well for the long-term profitability of your investment.

Even though some areas are experiencing a temporary lull in the availability of foreclosed single-family homes, other kinds of properties are still available, such as duplexes, triplexes and quadriplexes. Since most lenders treat properties containing up to four units as equivalent to a single family home for the purposes of financing, investing in these kinds of properties can be a profitable alternative to the typical single family home.

Conditions in the housing market are constantly changing. But a strong rental market along with continued availability of low priced properties, makes this a good time to launch an investing career based on Jason Hartman?s strategies for buying and managing rental real estate.

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. City Album Preview

Kendrick Lamar ? good kid, m.A.A.d. city [Album Preview]

In a matter of just a few short weeks, my fellow California native, Kendrick Lamar, will be dropping his debut major label album entitled good kid, m.A.A.d city, which will be, as he said in an interview with Fuse, a place for him to ?tell [the] stories that [he has] never told.? These stories, he says, are what first inclined him to make this album, almost as a therapeutic process to liberate the negative images and emotions that have been repressed in his memory since his childhood in Compton.

Despite the contract that was inked this year between Top Dawg Entertainment and Dr. Dre?s Aftermath Entertainment, Kendrick has told sources that instead of working with mainstream production artists, he?ll primarily be working with producers from past projects. Which ones he chose have yet to be revealed, however, one of the fresh names on his upcoming effort is renowned Canadian producer, T-Minus, who has laid down tracks for everyone from Ludacris? ?How Low?, to DJ Khaled?s ?I?m On One?, and Wale?s ?Ambition.? With the albums second single, T-Minus applies a cracking snare and quick hi-hat matched with a spacey synth on ?Swimming Pools (Drank).?

Now I done grew up
Round some people living their life in bottles

Granddaddy had the golden flask
Back stroke every day in Chicago

Some people like the way it feels
Some people wanna kill their sorrows
Some people wanna fit in with the popular
That was my problem

A lot of rappers today attempt to glorify the act of consuming drugs (*cough*Juicy J*cough*); Kendrick is the complete opposite. In these verses, he is referring to the memories he has of a family dependent on alcohol, and how he was brought up in this environment. As a child, he was lead to believe that drinking was normal, that it was the way to get women and become cool, when in truth, this only creates a distorted view of reality. Lamar says that at the end of the day, he came to a decision, ?[he] can either become a drunk or a casual drinker.? This image of innocence became the inspiration behind his album cover, which features a young, wide-eyed Kendrick sitting on the leg of a family member next to a table with both a baby bottle on the far end, and a 40oz bottle on the closer end.

Do you remember when Kendrick released the albums first single back in April with Dr. Dre called ?The Recipe???Originally, I, like thousands of other people, believed it was going to be part of Dr. Dre?s imaginary upcoming third studio album Detox. Well, it appears that it has officially made the cut, not for Dr. Dre, but for good kid, m.A.A.d city. I?m hyped to see where this track will fit into the album.

Another released single, ?Art of Peer Pressure?, discusses a typical night with the homies. ?Bumping Jeezy first album looking distracted/Speaking language only we know, you think is an accent/The windows roll down all I see is a hand pass it/Hotboxing like George Foreman grilling the masses/Of the working world, we pulled up on a bunch of working girls/And asked them what they working with ? look at me/I got the blunt in my mouth.? Here, he talks about how an evening with his friends can easily turn him into a different man, one caught up with women, drugs, and other obstreperous acts (an activity which is easily relatable).

Other recently released singles that could easily have made the album, include ?Cartoon & Cereal??featuring Gunplay,?and ?Westside, Right On Time??featuring Young Jeezy. Not to mention a track with Lady Gaga (yes Lady Gaga), called ?PARTYNAUSEOUS,? which Kendrick decided not to put on the album because it didn?t quite mesh with the artistic concept.

Just a few days ago Kendrick released the tracklist for good kid, m.A.A.d city, which is availible for pre-order now. Unwilling to let up any momentum going into the album?s release, Kendrick also just dropped off yet another awe-inspiring track. The big homie, and fellow Metrojolt writer, Osamagbe offers his thoughts:

It?s really nice to see an emcee of Kendrick Lamar?s caliber transition from being an underground no name a few years ago, to an up and coming (somewhat) mainstream artist today. Since his March signing to Dr. Dre?s Aftermath label, Kendrick has dropped a series of radio-friendly singles for his October 22nd debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, while still retaining his underground appeal and conscious integrity. Keeping this quality in mind, Kendrick is back with his latest single, the Just Blaze-produced, certified BANGER, ?Compton?. With a dramatically powerful horn-loop that is reminiscent of Just Blaze?s phenomenal production on Jay Electronica?s Exihibit C, Kendrick wastes little time bearing his teeth and commencing a fluid verbal attack all over this beat:

Now everybody serenade the new fate of Kendrick Lamar,
This is King Kendrick Lamar,
King Kendrick and I meant it
My point intended is raw,
Fix your lenses forensics woulda told you Kendrick got killed pretend its a massacre

Overall this song hits several high notes for me. It?s simply great production and great lyrics from two talented artists. My only complaint is the obvious ghostwriting that Kendrick does for Dr. Dre who features on the song. Now Dr. Dre?s been getting verses ghostwritten for him since forever, but on this song it gets to be a bit annoying to hear two artists use literally the exact same flow right after each other when you know only one of them actually deserves credit. I think if Kendrick had kept Dre off the feature and just spit those verses he wrote for Dre himself, this would easily be a five star song. Not to take anything away from it though, it is definitely worth a few listens plus the beat fucking bangs.

I am putting up a link to buy this on iTunes. If you like the song, you definitely need to be commercially supporting artists like Kendrick Lamar, so that the music industry starts backing artists with some actual talent.

?It?s not just music to me,? Kendrick says. ?This is a story about the youth and the people that they called delinquents in my city.?

Keep your eyes peeled for Kendrick Lamar?s good kid, m.A.A.d city dropping on October 22. It?s sure to be a classic.

Peanut butter recall includes major retailers

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A recall of peanut butter and other nut products has some of the country's largest grocery stores pulling store-brand products off their shelves.

New Mexico-based Sunland Inc. has expanded its recall of peanut butter and almond butter to include cashew butters, tahini and blanched and roasted peanut products. The company, which sells its nuts and nut butters to large groceries and other food distributors around the country, recalled products under multiple brand names last month after salmonella illnesses were linked to Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, one of the brands it manufactures.

In addition to Trader Joe's, the recall over the past week has included some nut butters and nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target, Safeway, Fresh & Easy, Harry and David, Sprouts, Heinen's, Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, Giant Food of Landover, Md., and several other stores. Some of those retailers used Sunland ingredients in items they prepared and packaged themselves.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there have been 30 salmonella illnesses in 19 states that can be traced to the Trader Joe's peanut butter. No other foods have been linked to the illnesses, but Sunland recalled other products manufactured on the same equipment as the Trader Joe's product.

Some of the brand names included in the recall are Target's Archer Farms, Safeway's Open Nature, Earth Balance, Fresh & Easy, Late July, Heinen's, Joseph's, Natural Value, Naturally More, Peanut Power Butter, Serious Food, Snaclite Power, Sprouts Farmers Market, Sprouts, Sunland and Dogsbutter.

Sunland's recall includes 101 products, and several retailers have issued additional recalls including items made with Sunland ingredients.

Those sickened reported becoming ill between June 11 and Sept. 11, according to the CDC. Almost two-thirds of those who became ill were children under the age of 10. No deaths have been reported.

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 hours to 72 hours after infection. It is most dangerous to children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems.

End of payroll, Bush tax cuts top "fiscal cliff" fears: study

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If Congress does nothing and the United States plunges off the "fiscal cliff" in three months, taxes would rise for 90 percent of Americans due to automatic increases in income and payroll taxes and other financial shocks, said a report issued on Monday.

In the latest forecast of trouble ahead if Capitol Hill cannot overcome its fiscal paralysis, the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank, predicted taxes would rise by $500 billion in 2013, or an average of almost $3,500 per household.

At the same time, government spending would shrink, reducing the budget deficit. But the economy would likely be thrown back into recession next year, the center said, echoing similar predictions of the devastating impact of going off the "cliff."

"Lawmakers could soften that near-term hit by delaying or repealing provisions in the 'cliff' or by enacting other spending and tax policies that would provide offsetting support for the economy," the center said.

Because Congress and the White House failed to reach a deal to cut the deficit by an additional $1.2 trillion over 10 years, the federal government is on track for draconian spending cuts in 2013 and beyond unless there is agreement on an alternative before the end of the year.

Lawmakers are expected to take up the matter following the November 6 presidential and congressional elections.

While there is broad speculation that Congress is likely to extend at least some of the income tax cuts beyond December 31, there appears to be little support for continuing the payroll tax cut, even among Democrats who previously championed it.

In September House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters, "I would hope that we would not extend it."

She added that this tax cut was intended to be in place for only one or two years to help stimulate the economy.

'RUN ITS COURSE'

Democratic and Republican aides in Congress have voiced concerns about short-changing the Social Security retirement fund, which is fueled by workers' payroll tax payments.

"Members on both sides are worried about financing Social Security over the long run and don't want to make this permanent," said a House Democratic aide. "The longer you do it, the harder it is to end" the tax.

A House Republican aide said: "It's run its course. There is no appetite in the House to do it" again. The sentiment appears to be similar in the Senate, according to aides there.

In May AARP, the influential advocacy group for the elderly, wrote Congress urging it to let the payroll tax cut die on December 31.

"If economic relief is still a necessity at the end of the year, AARP believes that it should be delivered through other avenues and no longer through the payroll tax system," said AARP head Barry Rand.

President Barack Obama and Congress this year approved an extension of a cut in the payroll tax rate to 4.2 percent from 6.2 percent. The tax is paid by about 160 million working Americans.

The lower rate gives workers an average of about $1,000 a year in additional cash. Obama says the added spending power helps the struggling economy.

Cuts in the individual income tax, capital gains tax, dividend tax and other taxes affecting most Americans were pushed through in 2001 and 2003 by President George W. Bush. They were extended under Obama in 2010, but will expire at the end of this year.

"No matter who wins in November, the country has to face the issue of looming tax increases," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, a partner with the Brookings Institution in the Tax Policy Center.
