"The video above shows how to replace blown fuses in the interior fuse box of your 2008 Saturn Aura in addition to the fuse panel diagram location. Electrical components such as your map light, radio, heated seats, high beams, power windows all have fuses and if they suddenly stop working, chances are you have a fuse that has blown out. If your Aura is experiencing electrical problems, you should always check the fuses first, because they are relatively easy to check and cheap to change. Some Saturns have multiple interior fuse boxes including in the trunk - the video above will show you where the interior fuse box of your 2008 Aura is located. If your Aura has many options like a sunroof, navigation, heated seats, etc, the more fuses it has. Some components may have multiple fuses, so make sure you check all of the fuses that are linked to the component in question."

"When a Halloween thief stole a pumpkin from the front porch of her family’s home, one Washington, D.C., mom didn’t just get mad, she got creative. The mom, Becky Reina, 33, posted a sign on the front of her house with a clear message for the person or persons who took the pumpkin her 2-year-old son, Tommy, had specifically picked as his own just days before."

"The 1-year-old has a truly scientific mind, which she uses ceaselessly to experiment with the characteristics and limits of the people and objects in her world. The simple highchair becomes her laboratory as she drops cereal bits, one by one, squealing with glee as they hit the floor. And she is no less excited than Sir Isaac Newton was when he discovered gravity because, at her level of thinking, that's exactly what she is doing."

"Just recently, Google updated its terms of use and privacy policy. The goal was to allow Google to use your name and public photo in "Shared Endorsements." In plain English, it wants to use you in ads. So, if you like or "+1" something on Google+, for example, Google can show your friends that you recommend it if it pops up their searches. I'm sure Google can expand that in the future to the channels you subscribe to on YouTube or music and apps you buy in Google Play."

"Deep in Tunisia's Sahara desert is an abandoned settlement, part submerged by the sand, somehow alien, yet strangely familiar. The surrounding landscape looks like it's from another world, in a galaxy far, far away -- which is why movie director George Lucas chose it as a location for filming parts of his blockbuster "Star Wars" series. The Tunisian Sahara was transformed into Tatooine -- the barren planet with twin suns that was the birthplace of Anakin Skywalker, otherwise known as Darth Vader. At the Tunisian government's request, the lavish set for Anakin's home town, Mos Espa, remains intact -- a beacon in the desert."

"A popular program that helps mothers feed their children is in danger because of the government shutdown. State officials said the WIC program is still in operation, but how long will the funds hold out now that Washington is no longer sending any new money? WIC stands for Women, Infants and Children Food and Nutrition Service, and it provides funding for low-income mothers to feed themselves and their children."

"Right now there are talks about director J.J. Abrams potentially shooting Star Wars: Episode VII on IMAX film stock a growing trend with some of the right directors working today. If there's one thing we're not worried about when it comes to the sci-fi sequel, it's how it will look. Abrams has proven time and time again that he knows how to shoot an incredible film. But plenty of fans are still concerned about the story, and while many feel like they have to aggressively petition to get Abrams to do what they want in rants online, a creative agency employee and former production assistant from Mission: Impossible III has created an animated open letter with "four simple rules" for Abrams to follow to make Episode VII work.

"It is quite a list: a whole lot of work to compile and great fun to zoom around it, making size and configuration comparisons between your favorite teevee and movie space jump buggies. However being something of a pedant, I feel compelled to stick my nose in and correct one, critical error in Mr. Kirk Hamilton's review of Mr. Loechel's chart:"

"On Wednesday, Apple will release a highly anticipated update to iOS devices: iOS 7. The new version is a complete departure from prior versions of iOS. The update is set to bring an entire new look and feel to iOS devices, which in turn will likely lead to late-night calls from your parents asking why their phone or iPad looks so different. That is, if they can find the redesigned Phone icon. In addition to the new look, there's a long list of new features such as a new Control Center, photo filters, and AirDrop. With the looming update in mind, it's important you prepare yourself and your device to make the transition as smooth as possible."
