Please provide us with some basic information. We already know your name and address. Please tell us about: a. Your family; b. How long you've lived in Glen Carbon; c. Your education; d. Your employment.
Married for 32 years to Amber (Micheletto). We have five children and eight grandchildren. Lived in Glen Carbon for 12 years. St. Louis University BSBA and MBA. Owner of Highland Recycling and Shredding for the past 4 years. Prior employed by AT&T, Anheuser Busch and Ralston Purina.
Why are you seeking this office?
I am seeking the Village Trustee office as a way to give back to the community in a public way. I feel the city needs business leaders to ensure growth in Glen Carbon is appropriate to preserve our heritage. I believe we need fiscal responsibility to keep taxes as low as possible and support our business community to attract appropriate business expansions.
What education, skills and experiences have prepared you to deal with the complex financial, technical and legal issues that regularly come before village board?
Obtaining my MBA has educated me in all areas of business and my financial leadership in volunteering has brought unique abilities to grow support with finite resources. However, being a business owner has truly trained me to be an expert in all aspects of business, employment and social concerns. Ownership is the best teacher in understanding the fine balance between profits, individuals and the environment. To be successful means to excel in all three areas and not neglect one area for the benefit of the other.
What, if anything, should the village of Glen Carbon do to retain, expand and attract 'head of household' jobs?
To retain, expand and attract Head of Household jobs, Glen Carbon must be business friendly. Small and medium businesses are the heart of any village and Glen Carbon must work to grow this range of business. Ensuring we have industrial and business districts that have room for growth and then market our advantages to potential companies is key to obtaining this growth. In addition, the Village must work with our current business base to ensure their stability and see if the Village can help with potential growth. Business growth builds Heads of Household jobs with not only employment but potentially home ownership growth.
Please identify and prioritize the three most important 'large capital' projects in the village of Glen Carbon. Please justify your prioritization. How do you propose to pay for these projects?
The Village needs to look at how to address the Old Troy Road issue as well as other residential concerns. The Village looks to the State for grants to make these upgrades but we might have to dip into our reserves to fix these on-going issues.
The water contract with the City of Edwardsville is due to start negotiations. There are many options the Village can take in obtaining water from going with competing water companies to looking at starting up our own water system by utilizing our older pump stations. I do not have details about these contracts but I do know from my water district experience that water companies have become very interested in growing their market share and providing competitive pricing.
The sewage treatment contract is third on my list, not because it is not important but because water is always a higher topic of discussion before sewage. Our current sewage treatment lines are not owned by the village on the way to the treatment facility. The Village needs to investigate if we need to own more of this system to see if we can save the citizens money in the long run.
What are your thoughts on village finances? Are there opportunities to cut expenses? Specifically, where are those opportunities? Is there a need for new or additional revenue? Specifically, where would it come from? Are there areas where spending needs to be increased? Specifically, where does spending need to increase? Specifically, where would the money come from?
Opportunities to cut expenses are always on the top of my list to gain financial strength. There are not large departments or segments of the budget that I would look for reduction however working with the Village leadership to optimize productivity and purchasing would be my priority.
Fortunately the Village doesn't have a "need" for new or additional revenue because we are in very good financial shape. However, growing village revenue through business growth and sales tax revenue can help reduce the burden for property owners.
The area I would look to increase spending is in marketing the Village to obtain business growth. The Village needs to seek businesses that can utilize our new Enterprise Zone and I-55 Corridor. In addition, the Citizens Advisory Board had discussions on the imaging of the Village that could dovetail into this new imaging for the Village. The money for this budget item could come from budget savings (see 6a) or other underutilized budget areas but not new taxes.
What do you believe is the role of a village board member in the village administrator form of government?
I believe the role of a village trustee in the village administrator form of government is to combine the political and policy making leadership of the trustees and mayor with the managerial experience of appointed village managers. Village trustees should be leaders who listen to the community and respond by making policy that reflects the communities concerns and act in their best interests.
If you're the incumbent, what have been your significant accomplishments during your term? If you're the challenger, what do you believe have been the significant disappointments of the incumbents, and how would your term in office be different?
If elected, what would be your top three priorities?
If elected, my top three priorities would be:
1. Fiscal Responsibility to lessen the burden property tax burden on residents
2. Positive business growth while building a stronger bridge with our current business community
3. Pass "fracking" requirements for the village, currently there are no specific requirements for anyone wanting to do fracking. I want the village to be out front on this important issue and not be caught blindsided like they did with the marijuana issue. Issues that need to be discussed for possible zoning requirements are:
a. Ecological impact to water resources
b. Dewatering of water aquifers
c. Effects on roads due to transportation of water
At the end of your term in office, how will you know if you've been successful?
At the end of my term in office, I will know I've been successful if I have given the Village my time and talents to the best of my ability. There will be many challenges that are not foreseen and I want to be a village trustee that understands the issues, does the homework to find all possible outcomes and votes for the best interests of my neighbors, the citizens of Glen Carbon.
Are there any changes you would like to see regarding: How village board functions? How committees function? How departments function?
The only change I would like to see from the council, committees and departments is on the council level. I would like the Village Trustees and Mayor to be more open with the citizens on issues that affect them directly by send out notices to homes or email on key issues. All key decisions should be made by the Village Trustees and not be allocated to staff members of the Village. Open discussion is needed to understand the will of the citizens and they must be made aware of the issues facing the village.

Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber of Commerce leadership know it is vital that chamber members exercise their right to vote. We also believe it is important that chamber members be informed voters, particularly when it comes to issues that directly affect the local business environment.

Amazing little device!
By Anne
from Toronto
My Fitbit One has revolutionized my thinking about activity. My sister (who is skeptical about most gadgets) highly recommended it, so I got one and I couldn't agree more! It's the 1st thing I put on each morning (clipped to my bra). My dogs would also recommend it as I take them for more walks and longer walks to reach over 10,000 steps each day. Instead of muttering about going up stairs, I now smile as I average 30-40 sets of stairs a day. Humans used to walk miles each day to get food; now many people hardly move off the couch. Get a Fitbit and get motivated. I love mine!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love my FitBit
By Galla
from Vancouver BC
From the moment I got my Fitbit I put it on, plugged in the dongle to my laptop and have not taken it off since. I love how it lets me know how many more steps to reach my goal by sending notifications to my cell phone. Have always wondered how well I slept and now I know because of this great little gadget.

Love this little device. I have to dispute previous reviewer...my fitbit tracks my stairs. gee, at the end of the day, 10000 steps and 10 flights of stairs. Great motivator! Don't hesitate to purchase!
Excellent Programme
By Helen the walker
from Ingersoll (Ontario)
In a previous review I had written that the clasp did not hold my tracker in place. I have a replacement and have used the Fitbit Tracking System for 2 weeks. This is a superb device providing accurate and meaningful feedback for my fitness programme. I have used other pedometers but none compare to this device. One is not buying just a device to count steps but buying into programme which helps goal setting, converts activity into calories burned, tracks weight loss and monitors progress in the long term. I could not ask anything more from the Fitbit Tracking System.
I love it
By dogradi
from Trenton
I love it, it tell me how much I sleep every night and it make me walk more because I want to do more then the day before so it is challenging me Yes I am recommended it
By Sculley27
from Windsor
I saw this online on another site last year, but I never bought it because I don't like buying off unfamiliar sites. As soon as I saw it on The Shopping Channel I had to buy it. It has been clipped to me ever since. Super easy to set up straight out of the box and it really helps keep you motivated and on track. I also really like the sleep monitoring feature. It was a real wake up call for me to see how many times per night I am awake or restless. If you are looking for something to kick start your fitness goals I highly recommend the Fitbit One. You will love it.
By bobby
from sask
ITs motivating and really interesting to monitor my sleep behaviours. The attaching case is great....very snug and have had no troubles with the potential of lose as its on ...its staying on. pants or bra.I've just ordered another for my daughter, (she loses everything but I am confident that this wont' fall off.) you can buy them elsewhere for the same price but the interest free pays helps out.
By PK
from Calgary
I had a fitbit zip previously. With the fitbit one I no longer have battery issues. Also it is great that it tracks sleep patterns. This little fitness tool motivates me to exceed 10,000 steps daily. It is the perfect little hidden fitness tool. Love it!

Finally an accurate/easy to use product!
By Awesomeness
from Richmond Hill, ON
I love my Fitbit! It keeps me motivated to keep walking to meet my stepping goal for the day! The Fitbit provides you with relevant health information which guides you in making informative descisions for your personal goals. The Fitbit has so much to offer! I love knowing how many calories I have burned, how many calories I have taken in, sharing my stepping achievements with friends I have accepted, I could go on and on! I have no regrets in purchasing the Fitbit! LOVE IT!!

By Georgia Peach
from Toronto, Ontario
After only seeing one presentation on this item, I ordered it online and it came in 3 days. Thanks to Rosalie's thorough easy-to-understand presentation, I have yet to read a manual. I clip the Fit Bit onto my bra and use my cell phone to input my food and water intake, which is so easy to do. WOW - I never knew how many calories were in certain foods I eat on a regular basis. Thanks to this device, I can track my steps taken, flights of stairs and caloric intake, etc. I have put down the cookie and the chips because I remembered I had the Fit Bit on me so the mindless eating has decreased too! I just feel so much better about my fitness level because I own this and yes, I do park further nad find ways to increase how many steps I take in a day. It's so fun to do that! I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in fitness and health. I love how the Fit Bit slides into the rubber case so it won't get damaged. There are more aspects I will explore such as adding on friends to see their results and the sleep tracking. Overall, I am extremely happy with this product. Thank you Rosalie.

May 5 is celebrated as World Password Day, an opportunity to remind us all that it's time to change old passwords for new, and stronger ones. The timing couldn't be better, as this week saw a massive breach where hackers accessed and sold hundreds of millions of user credentials to common online accounts including Gmail and Outlook. The day also serves as a reminder that "1234567890" and "qwertyuiop" simply do not count as strong passwords.
Anyone with online accounts is at risk of being hacked. And while account providers are obligated to proactively protect our accounts, it's up to individual users to employ a strong password. To celebrate World Password Day, we look at the top tips and services for managing passwords.
Tips on securing online accounts
In time for World Password Day, Ryan Merchant, Senior Marketing Manager of Dashlane, Inc., a password and identity management app, shared some tips on how anyone can protect their online accounts from malicious characters on the web.
- Make sure the services you are using are secure: Even people who take every step possible to ensure their online security are no match for a website or app that seriously lacks in security protocols.
- Use strong passwords, and change them often: This might sound like a no-brainer, but password fatigue is real. Taking that extra step to change your passwords frequently and make sure they are secure can make all the difference.
- Don't use the same password: It's tempting to use your dog's name for every password, but it makes you very vulnerable to cyber criminals. Not only do you need to change your passwords often, you should use different passwords for every site, service or app you use.
- Watch your public Wi-Fi use: These days, it's not uncommon for people to login to public wifi everywhere, but what most don't realize is that it can leave you vulnerable to a hack dubbed a man-in-the-middle attack.
- Delete old login emails: If you never delete the (probably hundreds) of login detail emails from your email account, you have created a gold mine for hackers. All they have to do is get into your email and then they have access to every service or website you've used.
Social media galore
According to a report from GlobalWebIndex, on the average, people have 5.54 social media accounts, and actively use 2.82 of these platforms. The report just deals with social media, which means a person can have at least 10 if you take into account emails, shopping, banking, and even account portals for services such as cable television or home utilities.
For some, remembering a single password is tricky enough. Imagine how daunting it could be to remember five, or even 10 different passwords?
These days, one can do without the burden of remembering different passwords for their online accounts, by using password lockers or managers.
If you're not familiar with password lockers or managers, these are services that allows users to log into all their online accounts securely by just entering one master password.
Password managers
Price: Free
Platform: Windows, Mac, iOS and Android; Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
Dashlane features a password vault, password generator and security dashboard for at-a-glance activity summaries. The service also comes with security breach alerts, security monitoring, autofill forms, a digital wallet for securely storing payment data, AES-256 encryption, and local-only encryption, as well as storage.

Price: Free
Platform: Windows, Mac and Linux; premium version costs $12 and also supports Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and Symbian; Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Firefox.
LastPass (Marvasol, Inc.) implements AES 256-bit encryption with routinely-increased PBKDF2 iterations. Data is encrypted and decrypted on user's device before it syncs with LastPass to add another layer of security. Users can add multifactor authentication to fortify online security.
To get started, download LastPass and create an account using a valid email address and a strong master password. LastPass then appears as an add-on to the user's browser, allowing them to login to their online accounts by just clicking on it.
Price: Free to up to 10 saved logins
Platform: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Windows Phone; Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
RoboForm (Siber Systems, Inc.) can be used on multiple computers and devices. It provides unlimited syncing across all devices and multifactor authentication. Data can be stored in the cloud, and users can access technical support 24/7/365 and use the RoboForm app on their mobile devices. If users want unlimited RoboForm access, they need to upgrade to RoboForm Everywhere, which costs $9.95 for the first year.
Intuitive Password
Price: Free
Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile systems; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera.
Intuitive Password (Intuitive Security Systems Pty. Ltd.) is built on AES-256 encryption and protects users from accidental data breaches by ensuring sensitive data is not accessible to anyone else unless given shared access. The free version allows users to store up to 10 logins, share data with up to three users and access basic security.
Aside from the Basic free version, there are three other paid versions: Express, Advanced and Pro, (AUD$ 2, 5, 15 respectively), which allow users to save more passwords, share with more people and access passwords even without an Internet connection. It also provides basic account security and two-factor authentication for an additional layer of security.
True Key
Price: Free
Platform: Windows, Mac, iOS and Android; Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox.
True Key (Intel Corp.) uses AES-256 encryption to keep all of a user's passwords secure. The program provides auto fill for payment methods, and users can easily share passwords with the people they trust, and in instances that passwords are changed, it is automatically synced with the trusted network.
The service also features a wallet that allows users to store credit cards, passports, memberships and other sensitive personal data, securely accessible across all the user's devices.
Though password managers may make life easier, they aren't without caveats as they, too can be compromised. One could go passwordless and rely on biometric scans, such as Nymi (Nymi, Inc.), a smartband that initially checks the wearer's heart electrocardiogram to authenticate that the wearer is the wearer, and use the verified data to unlock or lock devices.

Helmut Lang Cropped Leather Jacket The lambskin leather of this jacket is so deliciously, creamy soft that any style details are almost beside the point. However, the design of this cropped jacket is amazing. The 4" tall ribbed knit collar can be worn up, and is fastened with four double snaps underneath, which give the closure an off center look at the top (where there's also a bit of a trench yoke as well). The front zipper lives under the hidden placket, which comes to a curved point in front. The back is shorter and has 3" of ribbed knit at the hem. We absolutely love the sleeves... they are leather to the elbows and then 10" of ribbed knit, ending with knit stirrups that keep things long and sleek inside gloves. Lined. Stunning. In black.

2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Currently. 7500 miles & 10 weeks in service. I wrote my first review just after I had taken delivery of my car around may 25,2010. Here are some longer term impressions. First, the CVT transmission is something you have to get used to. Read the instruction Manual to fully explore its functionality and performance! Second, you do not need to use synthetic oil! Regular 5w-20 is all that is required. Only 2009 models required the fully synthetic oil. If the dealer tells you otherwise, call Nissan! He is lying! Third, this car is built more solidly than any I have ever owned! Fourth, you can get over $6000 of the msrp without even trying! This is a great car!
Engine performance, BOSE audio, rear window shade, AC driver seat, handling, body styling, many mistake it for a JAGUAR! Tinted side mirrors, heated steering wheel, keyless start/entry/lock. High value quotient!
Move the controls for the ventilated driver seat, rear window shade, and passenger heated seats to a more accessible location. Have the cup holder cover open towards the passenger seat. Better mileage, above 30 mpg, on highway. More wood trim on dashboard in front of passenger.
2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 S 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I really like this car however the CVT transmission has a flaw. It sometimes will not take off from a stop and the main problem with that is it just happens no warning signs or anything. Could be very dangerous if you pull out in traffic expecting your car to move and it decides not to! Car is at the dealership now with them trying to figure what is wrong. This car scares me and I only hope Nissan can assure me they have it fixed! It seems that this is a problem Nissan has had with the CVT for a while. I would not buy one until Nissan can prove the problem has been solved!
2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I really like everything about my maxima. Except that they only have a usb port to use with your mp3 player and if you have an iPod, it won't work. I have an iphone and won't work when I plug it to the audio system of my car.
Get the audio system to work with the Iphone
2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I had been admiring this model for some time in a parking garage, so externally I already loved it, but then when I sat in one, I was "all in" visually. Shopped around looking at other models, then walked in to a dealership to test drive. Let me say I came from a older Honda CR-V which was practical but with no pizazz, so I was ready for something more "dynamic." The seat comfort is quite nice, love the sound system, the ride is quick (I love that!) when I need it be be, and smooth all the time. Prior to my SUV, I have owned some pretty nice luxury cars in the past, but I have to say this one has it all for me. I read every single review for this car on this site, which was helpful. Thanks!
Became quickly addicted to not having to fish out the keys from my handbag! Unlock door,(touch the handle) no key, start car, no key, re-lock door, no key! The music box recording all my CDs, love that.The handling of the car, the V-6 pick-up, the sleek look, the seat comfort. It's all great!
Drivers side mirror placement causes partial obstructed view during sharp left turns (as from a turn lane) Yes, and the cup holder cover could be turned the other way, but really. Otherwise, I have no suggestions.
2010 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SV 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
I got the Maxima as a trade in at first the car was nice. Then things just started to happen. I noticed the fog lights would sweat when I washed the car. Then I noticed the drivers seat would tilt back when you take off. I also noticed that my rear bumper didn't fit right. And I also noticed a noise coming from the front of the car. And I called Nissan to see if the car was part of the recall and they told it wasn't. I took the car into the dealership and they said the noise I was hearing was part of the recall. So much for a car company knowing its vehicles.
Keyless Start
Nissan needs to improve on this value, the Maxima has poor resale value. I mean they slap I high price tag on a vehicle that doesn't hold it's value nor is safe to drive.

I have been with Gold Canyon for 3 months. Promoted to Sr. Consultant 2 weeks after I enrolled.
I am in love with the product.
Gold Canyon product differs in so many different ways. OUR CANDLE: Even Burn, Safety Wick, and cool wax makes ours the best out there. THEIRS: Wasted Wax(and money!) stuck to the sidewalls. Our leading competitors leave up to 50% of their wax hanging behind. WOW!! It only takes 1 candle to freshen multiple rooms in your home.
Also the Scent Pod Warmers have WORRY-FREE TIMER.....Never worry about forgetting to turn it off! Scent Pod Warmers let you decide how many hours of fragrance you want. Choose from 4, 8 and 12 hours or constant power on. We all have them.....Curious children, pets and workplace rules that somethimes prevent us from burning candles. (Okay, our workplace doesn't ban candles, buy yours might!) This inspired us to develop Scent Pod Warmers -- Flameless scent system that allows everyone to enjoy our quality fragrances without lighting a wick. Since their release in 2007, the love for on-trend Scent Pod style has spread non-stop. In fact, we now offer more fragrances in Scent Pods than any other product line. With over 60 fragrances to choose from, we're sure we have the perfect Pods to permeate your space.
I can make my own hours. I can make as much money or as little money as I want. I can work from home while taking care of my kids. It is totally up to me.
$20 plus shipping to get your kit valued at $350. Payment plan for 2 months of 64.99 for a total of $149.00 plus tax and shipping. If you get $700 in sales in the first 30 days the kit could be yours for FREE. Plus $100 in FREE Gold Canyon product.
No monthly quota's. To be considered a qualified Fragrance Consultant you have to have $250 in sales every month. To be active you have to $900 in sales in a rolling 9 month period.

DURATION: 11 Days
ARRIVAL CITY: San Jose
DEPARTURE CITY: San Jose
Global Health/Ecology Teams
ISL's global health teams are interdisciplinary and able to provide a variety of general medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, healthcare management, and nutrition services in developing communities. From urban centers to small towns and villages in remote areas, our teams work in various settings to provide field clinics in which patient needs are assessed and acute conditions are treated.
Regardless of background, volunteers are able to receive an invaluable opportunity to not only interactively observe health professionals in action, but to actively assist with important aspects of health care under careful supervision. Our holistic approach makes ISL's global health teams ideal for students of the health professions at all education levels.
ISL's ecology teams work to bring about sustainable development through environmental, community development, and agricultural initiatives. We work alongside members of the community and assist them in meeting their goals and building capacity for a brighter future.
In additional to lending a much needed hand, volunteers have the opportunity to expand their worldview by experiencing the language, art, cuisine, and customs of another cultural landscape.
Regardless of background, volunteers are able to receive an invaluable opportunity to travel, learn about another culture, and serve a developing community.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica ("rich coast" in Spanish) is a Central American country bordered by the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, Nicaragua and Panama. Costa Rica has become one of the most stable, democratic, prosperous, and progressive nations in Latin America. It permanently abolished its army in 1949, becoming the first of a few sovereign nations without a standing army. While Costa Rica is known for its coffee and tropical fruit exports, tourism is now the largest industry. 25% of the country's land area is protected—one of the largest percentages in the world. From tropical Cloud Forests to Volcanoes to Beaches, Costa Rica is truly rich in geographical and bio diversity.
Costa Rica's poverty rate is lower than most Latin American countries, but it has stalled at around 20% for almost two decades. Even so, according to Habitat for Humanity, more than 52% of the population lives in substandard houses or settlements. Costa Rica also has a large number of poverty stricken immigrants, mostly Nicaraguans. These are the communities where ISL volunteers serve. Costa Rica is good first country to visit for those who have not been exposed to extreme poverty before.

Printer inks are very expensive, and a normal home user or student can not afford to buy it every time, inks perish from his printer cartridges. Imagine a high school student, who has to submit an assignment a day after, and he is living on his own in an apartment with only a few sources of income through his part time job – how will he manage to print his assignment at pricey per-page printing cost? Though, a group of classmates contribute and share the expenses, but it is really an awkward, expensive situation.
Given beneath are top five ways to save on ink; check out –
Keep your printer well maintained. It is the foremost measure, which you should take, to save big on your printer inks and cartridges. Moreover, looking after your printer will also ensure a durable, long lasting life of your printer. And you will keep on getting superior print outputs. It may also smoother your printer's performance.
Use recycled cartridges. It will also help you save a great portion of your expenses. Printer brands and third party manufacturers, both, offer recycled cartridges, and these are sold at cheaper rates than that of original cartridges.
Use ink refill kits. Ink refill kits are innovative products that are highly 'inexpensive'. Refillable inks are prepared by third-party manufacturers, which can be filled into emptied cartridge cases. By using these kits, you ensure constant printing. Whenever your cartridges are out, you can fill them with these ink refill kits. It is a very easy process; even a neophyte can perform this task by referring to the user manual provided with the kit.
Use compatible cartridges. Compatible ink cartridges can also provide a pleasant printing experience at affordable rates. These products are also prepared by third-party manufacturers; therefore, you need to be a bit careful, when buying.
Buy in bulk. It is yet another way of saving big on printer inks. If you choose to buy your ink supply in bulk, then chances are there that you get a cheaper deal. By investing in bundle cartridge packs, you can ensure a economical printer ink and toner cartridges.

Even after continuously investigating the case for five years, police have failed to reach to a conclusion in the murder case of Sameer Watts, who was shot dead from point-blank range at Phase-8 in SAS Nagar on March 12, 2009.
Now police have prepared the untraced report and would soon submit it in the court. While confirming the development, deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Navreet Singh Virk said: "After probing the case from all angles, the investigation officer (IO) of the case has filed the untraced report under section 173 of the CrPC and sent to the SAS Nagar senior superintendent of police for the approval."
It is worth mentioning that in 2013, police on suspicion had conducted the polygraph test of Sandeep Singh, brother in law of deceased— who was at a distance of 100metre from the spot where Sameer was found dead-and Achherpal, a colleague of victim's wife Simrat, but police had failed to get any substantial breakthrough.
However, victim's father Colonel (retired) Surender Kumar Watts had also filed a petition in Punjab and Haryana high court in 2011, demanding a probe by an independent agency.
Col Watts said that he was waiting for the justice for the past five years and had even written to the Chief Justice of India to transfer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), as the Punjab police could not find any headway in the case.
The case will now come up for the next date of hearing on 11 November. When contacted, superintendent of police Harpal Singh Sandhu refused to divulge any detail about the case and said he was not aware of the fact, which clearly indicates the non-seriousness of police about the case.

Edward's hand caressed my inner thigh while his thumb stroked teasingly at my opening. My tears were flowing at a steady stream and I had to bite my lip to keep from crying out. When his thumb passed over my clit, my body betrayed me and my hips jerked up to meet his hand. Edward smiled down at me, obviously pleased with my reaction. His thumb began to rub circles into that tender spot.
"Bella" he spoke, "If you'd let yourself go, maybe you'd enjoy this." When I didn't respond he huffed an exasperated sigh before getting up from the bed. He left the room, but before I could allow myself to relax he returned with two pairs of handcuffs. He jingled the handcuffs at me before sitting on the edge of the bed. There he used both pairs of handcuffs, one for each leg, to chain me to the bed post. My legs were spread wide apart; I was completely open to him.
"I have to say, I really enjoy you spread out like this" Edward chuckled. Then he climbed off of the bed. "Sweet dreams, Isabella", he muttered before flickering off the lights. I heard his footsteps drift away down the hall.
Sweet dreams? Have sweeter words ever been uttered? But no…he was only toying with me. Any minute now he would return and rape me. I could not allow myself to feel relief. He had handcuffed me for a reason. I was no idiot. And even if this was no hoax, how did he expect me to sleep like this? My arms were already starting to cramp from being chained over my head for so long.
But no, Bella, you are allowing yourself to believe that Edward really has ended the night. And it will be that much worse when he actually comes into the room. But what Edward would do to me was inevitable. If he did not do it tonight than I was sure he'd do it another time. I should just enjoy the time I had alone with myself. After all, this was the first time I had been alone since I'd met him.
Somewhere in between my arguing with myself, I had slipped into an uncomfortable sleep. I was jostled awake by Edward. He silently unlocked the handcuffs and I groaned at the intense stiffness of my joints. My arms felt numb and tingly at the same time. With the slightest movement, my joints would pop and crack. My eyes teared up at the pain of it all.
"I don't think I mentioned this yesterday", Edward started, "But this is your room. There is a bathroom" he continued pointing to the door closest to the bed, "And there is your closet", he pointed to a door on the opposite side of the bed, "I was able to run to the store and grab you a few things to wear. You will be showered and dressed in thirty minutes. Is that understood Bella?"
"Yes Edward." I tried to climb out of bed. The effort proved to be more difficult, not to mention painful, than I could manage. Edward sighed before grabbing me by the arm and hauling me out of the bed. Once out of bed he dropped me to the floor before exiting the room.
Once I made it to the bathroom, I quickly stepped into the shower and turned on the hot water. Without waiting for the water to heat up, I moved under its spray. The water felt wonderful on my skin and slowly my tense muscles began to relax. I could have stood there for hours just letting the warm water pour over my body, but I knew Edward would be waiting for me. I hurriedly lathered my body and rinsed so that I could get dressed.
The "clothes" that Edward referred to were more like costumes. I stared in horror at the get-up he expected me to wear. He had brought 1950's housewife-esque dresses, the kind that go in at the waist and poof out at the skirt. Only these dresses stopped way above the knee and were low cut. I was sure that, depending on what side you're on, that if I were to bend down, you'd get an eyeful of my backside or my breasts. And to top it all off, he brought me an apron! It was like he was playing out some sick fantasy. A sick fantasy that I definitely didn't want to be a part of.
I quickly searched the room for a window and ran over to it. With all my might, I pushed hard on the window seal but it wouldn't budge. It was as if someone had glued it shut. Tears began to well in my eyes and I had to keep my mouth shut to stop from sobbing. With defeat I walked back over to the closet.
Edward was in the kitchen, when I made it down stairs. "Well don't you look adorable" Edward cooed. I wanted to throw up. I had been expecting him to want me to make breakfast or clean like a good housewife should but I found that someone had already prepared breakfast and there was a stack of pancakes across from the chair Edward was seated in. "You may sit down Bella."
I immediately took my seat, my hunger overcoming me. Yesterday my fear was stronger than my hunger and I had forgotten that I hadn't eaten in two days. I quickly picked up the syrup and smothered my pancakes with it. Using my hands, I began to tear the pancakes into pieces and shove them into my mouth. But before I could take my second bite, my plate was pulled away from me and Edward towered over me, anger building in his green eyes.
"Eating with your hands Isabella?" He barked. "Are you some kind of animal? I go to the trouble of fixing you a nice breakfast and you disrespect me at my own table!"
"I-I'm sorry Edward" I whimpered. I flinched when he raised his hand; I thought he was going to slap me. Instead his large hand gripped my face and forcefully turned it towards his.
"Will I have to teach you dining etiquette?" he purred into my ear and I instantly stiffened. Something told me that his idea of dining etiquette was dirty and sexual.
"No, Edward. I am very sorry. Please forgive me." I stared into his green eyes hoping that he would just let me continue my breakfast. His eyes narrowed before he pushed the plate back over to me. He handed me a plastic fork and spoon.
"I don't trust you with the silverware" he muttered before taking his seat.
Once I had finished eating, Edward instructed me to wash the plate and glass I had used. He wouldn't let me put it away though. He took the dishes from my hands, dried them and then put them into the allotted cabinets.
The dish towel he had used to dry the dishes fell to the floor and I unthinkingly bent over to pick it up. I squeaked when I felt Edward press into me from behind. His hand slid to my thighs and I quickly stood up. I tried to step away from him but he quickly gripped my thighs. His head lowered and his nose skimmed my neck.
"Before I bought you, I never imagined it would be this difficult to get you to show affection for me, Bella." he murmured, "I will try to be patient with you. I want you to willingly give yourself to me. But understand that if I wanted to I could take you right here on the kitchen table. And just because I haven't taken you yet does not make you any less mine" His voice had become cold and mean and when he finally released me he pushed me slightly. "Follow me" he said as he walked out of the room.
He went into the dining room and sat casually on the couch. He grabbed the remote and began to flip through the channels. "Come sit with me Isabella"
I had been standing at the edge of the room. I wasn't sure whether he had wanted me to sit with him until he had spoken. I walked over to the couch but before I could sit down next to him he spoke again. "How about you sit right here", he said as he grabbed my arm. He pulled me down into his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist.
Even though I was relieved when he stated that he was not going to rape me, I still didn't totally trust him. It hadn't escaped my notice that he had used the word 'try', meaning that it was not certain that he would not hurt me. I wanted to laugh when he said that he wanted me to willingly give myself to him. Because I knew that wouldn't happen.
I had never really thought much about sex. I was 15, and though there were many girls my age engaging in intercourse, I always thought myself too young to do it. Not that I had anyone in particular that I wanted to do it with. On those rare occasions when I would think about my first time, I'd always imagined it would be with someone I was in love with, possibly my husband.
But now, everything I used to think was mine belonged to Edward. Including my virginity. As he said before, he could take my virginity any time. And though I would try to fight him it would be a fruitless battle. Knowing what he could do to me scared me the most.
Perhaps I would be able to escape before he got frustrated and impatient and decided to rape me. He had mentioned before that he would get me a key. If he would get me a key than maybe he would allow me other liberties. He might allow me to go to the store by myself or even teach me how to drive. I wasn't sure which freedoms Edward would allow. All I knew was that when I had an opportunity to run would run. I just had to –
"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked, breaking my train of thought.
'You won't like what I'm thinking about', I wanted to say but instead I told him that I was thinking about what he had said earlier, which wasn't a complete lie.
His arms tightened around me before he spoke. "What about what I said?"
I thought quickly. "I was thinking whether or not what you said was true."
He chuckled softly, his chin resting on my shoulder. "I would never lie to you love" he teased. I rolled my eyes.
He pulled me when he sat back so that my back was pressed against his chest. One of his arms was lazily wrapped around my waist while his other hand rested on the top of my knee. He wasn't roughly grabbing my breast or sliding his hand under my skirt. As we sat like this, it could be easy to believe that he was my loving boyfriend and I was his devoted girlfriend; that we were happily in love.
But I would not allow myself to think like that. Edward had taken everything away from me and would probably take even more. I could not believe that the man that caused me so much pain could be someone I could love. Maybe in his twisted mind he could believe we were a young couple in love. I could not.
Edward's finger began to stroke my cheek and I had to fight not to turn away from him. I had to pretend to like it. Because if I didn't, if I were to refused him, good-natured Edward would be replaced with crazy, angry, mood-changing Edward and I would rather not see him. So I turned my face towards his finger, allowing him better access to my cheek and even though I could not see his face, I imagined he wore a very satisfied smirk.
When we were finished watching television (or when Edward had finished watching it) he told me that he wanted me to make him lunch. I was surprised that we had spent so much time watching television.
I was a bit nervous with having to fix him lunch. I cooked all the time for Renee but that was usually something easy like spaghetti or meatloaf. Although I enjoyed cooking, my expertise was not very ranged and I feared that whatever Edward wanted me to cook would be too difficult.
He chuckled at my anxiety. He clasped his hands together before he spoke. "Bella…" he toyed with me, "I want you…to make me…a sandwich"
I heaved a sigh of relief before going to the fridge and taking out the ingredients. I quickly made the sandwich and handed it to Edward before I started to make myself one.
"Bella, although this sandwich is quite yummy, I want you to learn how to cook things that are a little bit more difficult. I won't be the only one that will cook."
I nodded without really hearing what he was saying, as I walked back to the fridge to put things back. But before I got to it Edward forcefully grabbed and pulled me down to the floor by my hair. His hand remained wrapped in my hair as he spoke to me.
"What did I tell you before about nodding Isabella!" he hissed. I whimpered as he gripped my hair harder, "You will learn to respect me. Even if I have to be forceful with you". He released my hair and my head hit the marble floor. I closed my eyes tight, wishing that I was anywhere other than here.
"Get off the floor and eat your sandwich" he said, the anger in his voice subsiding. I did as I was told and sat at the counter. I didn't want to sit with him at the table.
He had finished his sandwich when the doorbell rang. "Go and answer the door" he spoke absentmindedly, "It's probably USPS"
I got up from the stool at the counter and went to the door but before I could make it someone yelled through the door.
"Come on Edward!" the voice said, "You gotta let your big bro in"
I stopped in my tracks. Maybe this was my escape. Did his family know about me already? Did they condone slavery? For some reason I didn't think they were like Edward. Call it intuition but I felt that his brother could help me. And with that thought, I made for the door again.
But Edward grabbed my arm before I got to it. His eyes were frantic. He was nervous. This confirmed what I already thought was true. That his brother wasn't like Edward.
"Bella" he said in a low whisper, "Go into your room and lock the door. Do not make a sound!"
No, I wanted to say. This was my escape and I would be damned if I didn't take this opportunity. I tried to wrestle my arm away from his grip but he held my arm tight.
"If you do not do what I say, I will beat you within an inch of your life. Your mother won't even recognize you" he snapped.
I wanted to cry and scream and kick because I had been so close to escape and now it was being taken away from me. I couldn't allow that. I had promised myself that if I had the opportunity to run I would. And though I didn't actually run, I did take the opportunity.
Edward had let go of my arm and was now pushing me towards the stairs. But God was on my side because I was able to slip past him to the door.
"Help me please!" I yelled as loud as I could to the door.
