The police are saying that they were called in by the ex employer of Ms Catalano's husband who were suspicious of what they found on his computer. So it appears that it was not Prism / Big Brother after all. I wouldn't blame the employer in this instance because if there was a repeat of the Boston massacre they would be vilified for not acting.

And Ms Catalano mustn't have known that the police visit was prompted by her husbands activities at work or she would surely have mentioned that in her blog.

I have no idea what quinoa is either.

Quinoa makes a good adder for dinner salads

Or a good replacement for Rice/Semolina as a starch (as well as being a great protein source).

Yeah it's really nutritious. It's of particular interest to vegetarians because it's a good source of iron and zinc as well as protein (i.e.: nutrients you might get primarily from meat in a traditional diet).

I'm just wondering how much longer it will take for all united states citizens to wake up and dispose of the Nazi/dictatorship corrupt enemy of which is destroying you of which is your own government and corrupt military industrial complex.

Sure for example... shale Gas in Texas and around the west states coming to California bigtime soon have bought off congress, so why have a congress when they have been paid off by a major company and of which only have interests for this huge company.

Large Companies run America and congress, not the government, the government gets paid and told to shut up whether it is bad for the American citizen or not.

The united states of america was the land of the free, but as all Americans know now, this is not the case. Your own government is at war with it's citizens. You might want to think about taking your large country back before you lose all rights in the end.

A 911 call will eventually be escalated and dispatched to said home address because a lady put on the wrong colour knickers before she accessed her work location, 6 months in prison. Not far from it.

Quinoa... is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the true grass family.

It's just like the united states government, it's not true it's true Quinoa.

Don't listen to him ⇧. It's a ferti1iz-er used in the making of home-made b0m-bs.

They'll kick down your door and probe your bottom so they will.

Doesn't sound like American food anyway, surely that's enough for a talking to under the not being patriotic act!

Maybe can be made into a fertilizer, but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinoa

BOMB, hows that Echelon, kiss my bum.

Quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds. See, I know my explosives beetroots.

Imagine being afraid to joke about words in a non-serious manner.

I suppose i'll be extradited to the U.S for probing now, ah well.

AHHH, whatever the fcuk you do, don't click on that link we could be locked away in a dungeon for eternity.... ok here's the form...

Quinoa (the name is derived from the Spanish spelling of the Quechua name kinwa or occasionally "Qin-wah") originated in the Andean region of Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru, where it was successfully domesticated 3,000 to 4,000 years ago for human consumption, though archeological evidence shows a non-domesticated association with pastoral herding some 5,200 to 7,000 years ago.[1]

Similar Chenopodium species, such as pitseed goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri) and fat hen (Chenopodium album), were grown and domesticated in North America as part of the Eastern Agricultural Complex before maize agriculture became popular.[2] Fat hen, which has a widespread distribution in the Northern Hemisphere, produces edible seeds and greens much like quinoa, but in smaller quantities.

The nutrient composition is very good compared with common cereals. Quinoa seeds contain essential amino acids like lysine and good quantities of calcium, phosphorus, and iron.[3]

After harvest, the seeds need to be processed to remove the coating containing the bitter-tasting saponins. Quinoa seeds are in general cooked the same way as rice and can be used in a wide range of dishes. Quinoa leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is limited.
Biology

Just plain old vegetables.... reminds me of something.

Yes this veg/thing looks like a Bomb, a very dangerous vegetable Bomb, maybe on the stomach after edible scenarios but other than a fart explosion, i think it is safe.

Welcome to the Land of vegetables.

Single most spine chilling sentence I've read in a long time both for what you perceive to be the employer's intent and the fact that you agree with it.

Back to the stone age or at least Nazi Germany, Salem and the like. Denounce before you are denounced.

That does cast a bit of a different light on the story in the current social situation in the US.... its still a bit sad that that *is* the situation though.

I also note that it's a *former* employer - They dont mention why that is...

It also sounds like absolute bovine excrement.
