Willing Participants
Silver River, the production company behind Grow Your Own Drugs, Supersizers Go... and Pulling, are currently producing a brand new, groundbreaking Science programme and we're looking for willing participants. The programme will uncover the amazing world of latent abilities. We have been advised of certain people we should target, who are more likely to have these latent abilities. One of these key areas is the Armed Forces.
It might be someone with unusually long thighs, an ability to hold their breath for ages underwater or a perfect musical pitch - whatever it is, if that potential were identified, unlocked and nurtured, a whole world of opportunity could be opened up to them. For example, have you ever watched Top Gun and thought 'that should have been me'? This programme may reveal you were really born to be a jet fighter pilot as your latent ability makes you the perfect candidate.
As these latent abilities go undiscovered in most of us, there's no way of knowing until you're tested for them. We're looking to hear from anyone who wants to find out if they might have an amazing ability that could lead to a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The deadline for applications is 1st November 2010 and it is open to anyone over the age of 16.
For further details, please email hiddenpotential@silverriver.tv where you will receive an application automatically.

Downtime and Security Warning
In the early hours of Sunday (19th September) morning we were alerted that our Advertising Server that serves adverts to our network of sites had been attacked.
Because some adverts were served here to Military Forums, Google and StopBadWare had issued our domain name and Military Forums a warning to all visitors that visited.
While we had secured our system, the warnings remained in place for nearly 24 hours.
We were not happy about this, but during the weekend the process of clearing this warning took longer than expected which we were not in control off. As third party companies issue these warnings.
The warnings are automatically displayed if you visited us via Google or by using the Mozilla Firefox browser.
This warning is to assure you that there maybe a risk and we wouldn't blame anyone for not acknowledging and staying clear. Your computer security is essential in this day and age of technology.
I would like to re-assure you that if you visited Military Forums during the displayed warning and entered our services your computer was not at risk. The problem had been resolved very quickly in the early hours of the morning while we waited for the warning to be lifted.
No other data and personal data was affected, only our advertising service had been affected.
All our services are now back running as per normal.
Whilst this event was out of our hands and out of our control, we would still like to apologise for the downtime and inconvenience this may have caused.
Many thanks.
