Thanks to all (3) that submitted articles for the December Key-Klix !
This issue will be going to the printers this morning and hopefully, you
will receive your copy in a timely fashion.
Merry Christmas to all and I wish everyone a wonderful Holyday Season!

Hi everyone,
I just received the following notice from SCONet, an orienteering
listserver, and thought that people here might be interested!
***********************************************
Recently, I was contacted by a representative of ëNo
Opportunity Wastedí, a new television show that will debut
on the Discovery Channel in the fall of next year. The
show will let ordinary people live out a dream that can
completed in three days, and for not more than $3,000.
Although any dream will be considered, the show is
particularly interested in those that promote the outdoor,
active sides of people.
Even though the show does air for about ten months,
production will need to get underway well before then. In
fact, the search for people to be on the show is now
underway. The representative of the show that I have been
speaking with has orienteering experience, in school, and
in college, while growing up in Canada. He felt that
orienteers, with their adventurous spirits and willingness
to head off into unknown terrain, might be exactly the
kind of dreamers the show is looking for, and asked me to
post information about the shows search for people with
dreams.
Following this message, you will find a press release
detailing the search for people to appear on the show.
Information, and sample dreams, can also be found at the
showís web site,
http://media.dsc.discovery.com/fansites/now/now.html.
The deadline for applying is December 31st, so start
dreaming. An orienteer being selected for the show would
be great publicity for our sport (as long as the person
keeps remembering to mention orienteering, which, granted,
could be tricky while in the midst of living out a dream,
and having it filmed, in just three days). Also, whether
or not an orienteer is selected to be on the show,
orienteering may still get some exposure, or have some
involvement, with the show. If someone has a dream that
involves navigating, we may be called upon to serve in a
technical advisory capacity.
Dream on. Feel free to share this message with other
members of your club, or anyone you know who might have a
dream. Perhaps after the application period is complete,
someone can put together an article for ëOrienteering
North Americaí with some of the three-day dreams of
orienteers.
Most of your questions should be answered at the ëNo
Opportunity Wastedí web site. If there is something you
think I can answer, however, please feel free to send it
along to me.

THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL SEARCHES THE COUNTRY FOR PEOPLE
LOOKING TO GREENLIGHT THEIR OWN DREAMS IN A NEW SERIES, NO
OPPORTUNITY WASTED
-- Online Application Process Launched November 8 at
Discovery.com --
What would you do if you had 72 hours, $3,000, and one
dream? Beginning November 8, 2003, the Discovery Channel
launched a nationwide search to find America's most
imaginative dreamers for a brand new series called NO
OPPORTUNITY WASTED . . . NOW!
NO OPPORTUNITY WASTED (NOW!) dares people to live out
their dreams on national television. No more "woulda,
coulda, shoulda" - NOW! will take away all excuses by
clearing personal calendars and giving our dreamers 72
hours and a little seed money to make their dreams happen.
And, ultimately it is up to them to create the ideas and
then turn them into action.
In this new series, NOW! challenges the chosen dreamers to
let go of the handrails, face their fears, and swerve off
the road they've followed for years. Led by host Phil
Keoghan, also seen in the Emmy Award-winning The Amazing
Race, NOW! is about seizing the moment and creating the
once-in-a-lifetime experiences you always imagined for
yourself. It might mean eating a five-star dinner on the
edge of a volcano, assembling your old high school
football team to replay the game lost from 20-years ago,
organizing your own Kentucky Derby or even auditioning for
a Broadway show.
The Discovery Channel will scour the country this November
and December for people with rich, multi-layered dreams
that accentuate the power of imagination, celebrate the
joy of the human spirit and exemplify the passion to
expand one's life. To participate, dreamers must submit an
application available at http://www.discovery.com from now
through the end of the year.
NOW! is based on the life philosophy of veteran television
host and adventurer Phil Keoghan. After a near death
experience at age 19, Keoghan sat down and wrote a list of
things he wanted to do before he died - creating his life
philosophy to live life to the fullest every day.
Production of NOW! will begin in early 2004. Applicants
will know they were selected when Keoghan literally shows
up on their doorstep, walks into their work cubicle or sky
dives into their cornfield. Phil will then give them the
opportunity to live their dream . . . NOW! This new series
is scheduled to premiere in 4th Quarter 2004 on the
Discovery Channel.
NO OPPORTUNITY WASTED is being produced by No Opportunity
Wasted Television, Inc. for the Discovery Channel. Phil
Keoghan, Louise Keoghan and Peter Pistor are executive
producers for No Opportunity Wasted Television, Inc. For
the Discovery Channel, Robert Wesley Branch is executive
producer.
Discovery Channel is one of the United States' largest
cable television networks, serving 88.3 million households
across the nation with the finest in informative
entertainment. Discovery Networks, U.S., a unit of
Discovery Communications, Inc., operates and manages the
Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, the Travel Channel,
Discovery Health Channel, Discovery HD Theater, Discovery
Kids Channel, Discovery Times Channel, The Science
Channel, Discovery Home & Leisure Channel, Discovery Wings
Channel, Discovery en EspaÒol and The Health Network. The
unit also distributes BBC America.
Yes I know - it seems like we just got the November issue. Well, we
just did! But it is time to start the December issue anyway. I also
know that this deadline notice shouldn't be necessary, and it probably
isn't so disregard this email and just seem me your articles and "stuff"
that you think should be in the December issue. Let's pretend that I
didn't mail this out and that you didn't receive it.
