I am now converting the entire 9 blogs of the HART-Network.com domain (used for aggregating feeds by channel for the HART-Empire Network) .. at once!

This is to convert the older wordpress version 2.0.4 blogs to the latest version of wordpress 2.1

I am sending you this email because just like Paige and I, you, your spouse and your kids surf the net, hang out at MySpace, MyChurch, and YouTube, and because I know you love your family and would never want to do anything to expose them to undo danger. 

Since you are like me, I know it would rock your world to the end of the earth if your family’s safety and privacy was ever violated, and later your found out YOU could have protected them.

As a father of six kids ranging from 24 to 4, I know first hand the crazy un-resourceful and sometimes stupid things kids can do.  I also know first hand some of the stupid things we dads and husbands can do without thinking. 

So ask yourself the following question… “What would I do if one day you or someone in your family was accused of a sex crime, fraud, or violating homeland security?”

How would your life change?

The video link I have attached shows what one family went through when their 14 year old son was accused and arrested of downloading and uploading child pornography.

I am on a crusade to educate all my friends and family about the risk of being connected to the internet with the wrong type of security and protection.

Please do not just trash this email because you think “this is Troy’s way of trying to get me to do business with his company”) 

Personally I don’t care if you do business with me or not.  What I do care about is that you test your computer and do whatever it takes to protect your family, your privacy and most of all your family’s reputation.

As we have seen in recent years the media can crucify a person before they ever get the chance to prove their case.

Please take time to watch the video below; it is about 10 or 15 minutes long.  It is well worth the investment of your time.

I have just learned some fantastic news. For those of us using the computer for a living, how important is security, identity theft protection and hacker safety?

The team at home office has been working around the clock over the last few months, and especially the last few weeks.
Today they announced the launch of the new “Stop Hackers” landing page.

Thank you, I’ve had a lot of fun getting to 50 subscriptions!

The INVISUS service has answered a great need for my clients: providing a single, simple answer to the complexities of PC security — with a guarantee!

INVISUS has set itself apart with that guarantee, and in other ways as well. You should have seen the faces of my clients when an INVISUS technical support technician called them only minutes after installing the service on their PC “just to see if everything went smoothly.” That a technical support team is really ready to promptly answer their phones is surprising enough; but to get a call initiated by Technical Support simply puts INVISUS in a class by itself. VERY impressive, and I’m sure that service like this is going to occupy my clients’ conversations with their friends for many days to come!

The support and attention from everyone in my upline has been outstanding. My thanks again go out to my long-time friend, and client of my PC consulting company, who once more has steered me to a successful business opportunity. I’ve got to keep listening to this guy!

Computer Security

The link at the bottom of this post is part of 20/20 that aired tonight.

If you are not sure why we are doing what we do, then you will when this is over.

Our business is not about selling some software, or just trying to find someone new to join our team.

It is about protecting children and families just like in this video clip.

Watch it, then pass it to your subscribers and those you know who might be sitting on the fence.

We must get this information into the hands of those we love, so they will understand how easy it is for their lives to be turned upside down in a split second.

Don’t let this pass you by.

Never Give Up,
Crimes Committed on Your Computer

Here is the recipe for HART’s Famous Pasta Salad Recipe .. Between this and HART’s Favorite Chili Recipe .. your fridge and stomach will always be happy

HART’s Famous Pasta Salad Recipe

INGREDIENTS AND STUFF YOU WILL NEED

I prefer to use Superstore’s “Blue Menu” Lite Mayonaisse, with 50% less fat

You can use use either the Pasta Salad or the Creamy Salad Club House Pasta Prima dressing. The Creamy Salad dressing has the macaroni on it, and I follow the preparation directions from there. However, I like the flavor from just the Pasta Salad dressing and use the other’s preparation directions (not the one on the package)

I recommend you buy this from Sobey’s - 900g of Fusili of the Primo brand, which is low in fat. Some of the other fusili looks different, and Rotini, which looks similar does not taste the same (i.m.o.). Superstore has some fancy fusili in small boxes but it’s vegetable fusili pasta and not recommended in this recipe.

This is my best Tupperware product I’ve purchased about 10 years ago .. because it has an extended rounded top! Great for mixing ingredients such as peppers and the like!

Got a few of these Budweiser Pints during my softball days! I use them to mix my sauces.

Of course, you need a knife to cut your vegetables and some pasta utensils. I like the “Claw” (as I call it) for mixing the pasta salad and doesn’t melt

You need two Red Peppers .. and two Orange Peppers

You need two Yellow Peppers and two Green Peppers. During this batch, they only had these really large green peppers, so I went with using just one green one

A bunch of Broccoli is also necessary

And of course .. you’ll need a large pot to cook your pasta in, and a good metal strainer!

PREPARATION OF THE INGREDIENTS

I cut all of the peppers first in half, and clean them. Then I slice each color group into approximately 1-cm strips

And, then I take these orange peppers into little 1-cm square pieces and place them into a bowl, and place them into the mixing Tupperware bowl

And same thing with the Green Peppers ..

And Same Thing with the Yellow Peppers ..

And same thing with the Red Peppers ..

I put the lid on the tupperware and mix all of these pepper bits together

It should probably look like this

I clean and break up all the broccoli into little pieces and remove the stems and just leave the crown and heads in a separate container and do not mix it yet with the pepper mixture .. I have several Budweiser pints so I just use that

THE CREAMY PASTA SALAD DRESSING

I start by placing a 1/2-Tablespoon of oil into that Budweiser pint cup.

Then I add 1-cup “plus a heaping tablespoon” of the Lite Mayonaisse into the Budweiser cup

Then I add 1/2-cup of Skim Milk into the Budweiser cup

Then I add the two packages of the Pasta Prima Pasta Salad mixtures into the Budweiser cup

And mix all the ingredients into a nice smooth creamy pasta salad mixture!

AND DON’T FORGET YOUR FOOD TASTERS!

Our Papillon dogs Maxxie and Sophie just LOVE watching me make HART’s Famous Pasta Salad because they LOVE eating peppers! So .. C’mon! Let your pets participate in the making of the ingredients

LET’S MAKE SOME PASTA!

Do I have to say it? First .. you have to boil some water in your pot

I always like to add a tablespoon of HALF-SALT into the boiling water because it helps to prevent bubbles boiling over

Add the Pasta and boil for about 8-10 minutes at high boil, stirring occasionally

When it looks and tastes nice and tender and fluffy, drain the large pot into the strainer in the sink, and pour cold water of the pasta salad and mix it good in the strainer while you are cooling it down.

While the pasta salad is draining, I clean the original large pot that I cooked the pasta in, then pour the cooled off pasta into the pot

And then I add all of the Pepper bits and the Broccoli bits into the pot

And I add the Creamy Pasta Mix that we made earlier, over top of everything!

And stir like crazy until everything is mixed well and the creamy pasta salad mixture is well blended over all of the pasta in the pot

ENJOY .. HART’s FAMOUS PASTA SALAD!

This recipe usually lasts two people for about a week, including lunches and side dishes for dinner. The pictures below show what this recipe got me today!

Mmmmm .. HART’s Famous Pasta Salad .. Yummy!

Counting Points?

I have calculated the average weight watcher points on previous attempts and it averaged to approximately be 3 points per cup of HART’s Famous Pasta Salad (actually 2.8 but we rounded up). I personally think it is less than that and take 5 points for 2 cups .. My wife still takes 3 points for 1 cup. I think when I originally calculated the point count, I was using lite mayonaisse (not blue menu) and regular milk. You can do the math
