One way could be the old Disney trope of the parents suddenly dying (or being lost, or in an accident far away), leaving the kids being on their own. And they would have to have some compelling reason to want to avoid the authorities, like they're supposed to go to Creepy Uncle Joe so they run off to Alaska instead.…

This photographer has some pretty cool takes on this idea: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rebba/4…

I adore Push! I was so hoping it would do well and warrant a sequel.

Scarred me for life.

I knew one that was very long and involved, with people stranded on an island. One guy finally decided to take the dinghy and try to row to get rescuers. He gets about a mile away, then realizes he forgot the radio, so he stands up, waves his arms, and shouts, "Pineapple!"

I remember this one!

The middoe school version was to walk up to someone and quietly inform them, "Your epidermis is showing."

That was the single point in this article I will remember forever. I wish I could unread it.

No kidding. I had been dealing with symptoms like these for two weekdays but I just wasn't sure, you know? Finally at 10 pm one night - afraid my teen daughter would wake up to find I'd died in my sleep! - I drove myself to the ER. They kept me overnight because they weren't sure, either.

I never thought I had claustrophobia of any sort until I got dive certified.

I think it's helpful to indicate at the beginning that you have somewhere else to be after - you know, plan to meet someone for coffee, and then be meeting a friend for lunch, so after an hour you can honestly say "okay, gotta go!" If it isn't going well you have an out, if it is going well you will be able to see…

Nearly everyone I know IRL or have met online has said they signed up on their own, so that last paragraph is your experience but not mine, at all.

I want to like this just for the last four words.

I'm pretty sure that last feature is already going to be in iOS 8. Good idea, though - I hadn't thought of it but when I read it in the list of what is changing, I loved it.

No, it really doesn't.

Almost the entire film of The Fall, beginning with the opening credits, which set up so many questions later resolved in the movie. A few of my favorites are the few seconds when Darwin is using the magnifying glass, and when the Masked Bandit shoots Evelyn. I can't seem to find clips, but this interview gives you…

Nice! I don't know if this is possible on the 4 but on the 5 you can take photos *while* you are videotaping - which leads to much better pix during situations like this because it is constantly managing the focus and light for the video. It's my new go-to concert photo trick.

Brilliant! Being able to keep trouble in perspective or even see the positives in a situation is definitely something I have taught my daughter, as well. I have seen it pay off time and again. She has room to be sad but after a moment, she is the one who starts pointing out why a situation that seemed like a bad thing…

I think this is the kind of thing you teach by example, whether you intend to or not.

Definitely a bunch of useful information here! I would like to mention booties for hot weather, too. Here in Arizona people sometimes forget that if you can fry an egg on the sidewalk, it probably won't be good for your dog's paws.
