TRY-NET PROJECT

"TRY-NET" - A Small Net Deployed from a Fishng Vessel to Test the Waters -
An appropriate description of this EXPLORATORY PROJECT.

10.02.09 0931 hrs EST - And an appropriate way to launch this project !
Mr. & Mrs. Phillips, Phillips Seafoods, Swansboro, NC, long time operators of coastal trawlers and a retail outlet known for its fresh, carefully dressed seafoods . The attached Picture was taken after collecting their "blood spot" samples, which were immediately mailed to the Lab. see www.OmegaQuant.com.

Their store may be the only fresh seafood market on the East Coast that offers "over-the-counter" fish oil, a carefully selected, natural product - VITALCHOICE Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil , www.VitalChoice.com through special arrangements that also make this exploratory project possible.

For over a year, posters have been on display in this seafood market that advocate supplementary use of fish oil via softgels, or in liquid form, to assure that adequate amounts of essential Omega-3 fatty acids, (EPA & DHA) are delivered along with low-fat seafoods to assure optimum health and longevity.

Now, to embark on a detailed examination of how to make twice/week seafood dinners, advocated by AHA, more productive, we are selecting persons with outstanding professional capabilities, culinary experience, lifestyles. Each person to serve as An Individual, Perceptive Control.

PATIENCE DEAR PEOPLE! ADVISORIES WILL FOLLOW.

Wild Alaskan Fish Oil BOOSTER for NC Coastal Seafoods?

Exploratory project, soon to be launched, needs healthy adult participants, non-smokers, prudent diet habits, careful health-motivated lifestyles, mostly, not entirely, persons from coastal Onslow and Carteret County, NC areas.

Participation will not limit normal activities, except to collect two bloodspot samples at home, in special mailing kits, initially and after three months, for Omega-3 Index determinations. During the three month interval, participants will be asked to eat two coastal seafood meals/week (individual choices - finfish or shellfish) supplemented with fish oil, our application suggestions.

ESSENTIAL! : Discover the meaning and importance of these trials:
Visit and Explore www.omegaquant.com
.
Participants, initially in the "Desirable Omega-3 Index range", will not be asked to continue except to answer questions to help explain elevated scores. The rest will be asked to continue in the three month trials, involving prudent diet patterns that include local seafoods twice a week, as recommended by AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION, but now boosted by a natural, wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil (an attempt) to equalize the EPA/DHA playing field.

NOTE : This exploratory project is a continuation of the Fish Oil Therapy Project (FOTP), sponsored by Wildegeest Foundation. Participants will not be charged: for the fish oil, or for the Omega-3 Index determinations.

LAND STEWARDSHIP VS OWNERSHIP

Land stewardship is the practice of carefully managing land usage
to ensure that natural systems are maintained and enhanced
for future generations. - www.landstewardship.org/learnabout.asp .

Early 1970's - Your narrator attended a meeting with landowners
whose properties were said to be polluting nearby oyster beds. They said,
"We own this land, butt out." I replied that I considered it presumptuous
to claim unregulated ownership of any part of this planet, and as a landowner,
I intended to be a responsible steward. Thirty years elapsed before I could
actively undertake measures to dedicate my remaining land, for truly
beneficial uses, now and in the future.

Quarter-Century Later - Ebook, "WILDEGEEST! A Search for Last Places"
describes how my farmland was poisoned by tenant farmers, steeped in
chemicals for growing cotton, while I was away. Much of the nearby land
had been taken over by developers. There was an obvious obligation to protect
nearby residents from uncontrolled toxic chemicals.

Pesticide-free EarthWise Farm was started and then became part of
WILDEGEEST FOUNDATION where its application, as a producer of ingredients
required for longer, healthier lives, is closely associated with the long range
research efforts of the foundation: - To promote mature lifestyles for persons
over fifty to encourage an active citizen's role throughout their aging process,
and to further investigate fish oils and the proper use of fishery products,
as an essential part of the whole.

NO CUTOFF DATE - Come see! How the land has benefitted from our soil
improvement efforts, several hundred "hedgerow" trees have doubled in size,
and the buildings are designed for present and future investigations.

THE ME ME ME SOCIETY

"Herded by fear and greed" by Jessica Irvine, July 25, 2009
The Sydney Morning Herald, Business Day.

Concerning the global meltdown, she notes : The premise of mainstream economics --that we're rational beings making informed calculations about how to increase our utility - has fallen spectacularly short.

She quotes J. M. Keynes who was the first to document the animal spirits and herd instincts that drive human behavior, - "which turns out to be rather messy". During the great depression,
in 1936, he wrote that people make their decisions "not as the outcome of weighted average of
quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities, but on ANIMAL SPIRITS -
a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction.

Were ANIMAL SPIRITS the guidelines for our economists and budget directors when we threw away our wooden guns, and entered World War II with its staggering costs? But is it fair to compare a wartime threat with present-day threats to our society?

Yes, if the threat is of the same magnitude when measured in "body counts". As David A. Kessler, MD, author of "The End of Overeating. Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite" has pointed out, "Two out of three American adults are now either overweight or obese. Excess weight increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer (of the breast, colon, esophagus, kidney, and uterus), stroke, gallbladder disease, arthritis, and more," and then he explains how the food industry leads us to overeat.

We could say more, about how greed and self-interest is causing neglect of millions of needy persons, but space is limited.

TREADING HAZARDOUS TURF

OUR ENDANGERED FOOD SUPPLY
Motivated by The Diane Rehm Show, 07.08.09 @10:00 AM
Concerning outbreaks of Salmonella & E-coli contamination
from eggs, nuts, processed cookie dough - Need Tougher F. S. Standards.

Persons invited for comments included Michael Taylor, Senior Advisor to FDA (strong previous ties to MONSANTO, (for details see http:/www.politicalfriendster.com), New York Times writer, Gardner Harris, and Caroline Smith DeWaal, Director of Food Safety, Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The discussion made it evident that FDA and USDA have been unable to provide the number of inspections and laboratory services needed to warn about widespread food contaminations that have caused serious illnesses and deaths. Increased surveillance, a step in the right direction, but is that enough?

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM

Harris's NY Times June 12, 2009 article, "A federal study identified chicken as the most common source of food poisoning in the United States in 2006", based on a Center for Disease Control and Prevention report issued a few days before, and also implicating leafy vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Tim O'Brian in the ECOLOGIST, June 1, 2002, Factory Farming and Human Health, stated that "In the range of areas, from feeding regimes, to animal housing, to the use of drugs in pursuit of productivity, human health may be threatened by factory farming. Imposing industrial standards on farm animals may quite literally be producing fatal flaws in the end product - OUR FOOD.

And what about growing crops? Disease-loaded waste products from these poultry and animal farms are polluting the atmosphere, our water supply, and farm land. Even our gardens are threatened by the wrong choice of manures.

WILDEGEEST! - synonym for - EXCELSIOR!

The inspirational basis for the ever-onward battle-cry, WILDEGEEST!
is Longfellow's poem, EXCELSIOR! (1843); Latin/Greek phrases - "Higher, more elevated".

Our introductory statement as a foundation : "GREETINGS! I hope you're aboard as seekers for a longer, better life, for those past fifty, and for those isolated, lonely, and victimized by the hard place, both determined to remain a vital part of society, unthreatened by
age-based segregation ."

Dr. Lawrence Hanks, Ph. D., Dept. Political Science, Indiana University stated, "The miraculous advancement of modern medicine has created a cohort of older Americans who are more energetic and vibrant than their predecessors. Much of their energy has been channeled into the protection of their interest. Thus, issues of mandatory retirement, Medicare, and Medicaid, are issues of vital importance to American politicians.

Such "issues" are only part of the complexities and attitude readustments needed to achieve equal rights, equal treatment for all U. S. citizens - a new stage in our history! Alan Pope of Duquest University, in "The Elderly in Modern Society, A Cultural Phychological Reading" stated that "History has demonstrated a dramatic reduction in respect and veneration for the elderly members of Western Societies. According to David Hackett Fisher and David Cowgill, historical sources located this decline in industrial and economic factors."
