is a woman who cherishes her family and friends, who adores animals and is kind and generous to all. A Denise is someone whose kindness is often taken advantage of and she hides her pain with courage.
Much in the habit of a Denise, she ignored the fact that her sister lied to her, talked about her behind her back, and manipulated her to death, and went on to offer her sister a great life on a silver platter.

A Denise is a person who is envied by all. Strong until the finish. A woman named Denise is typically very beautiful with an incredible body and nice eyes. They are known to be very loveable. Denise's are envied by other women.
You remind me of my friend Denise.

The type of girl who will inevitably allure you with her presence. She'll say take a seat "i have something to tell you"...she knows what she wants. True beauty both inside and out, the woman you want by your side. Lush lips, a captivating presence, wise beyond imagination. She will help you sing the blues, she's the gatekeeper of your soul, and luxurious in a way only she can be. Beautiful eyes, so sexy in a dress, no convincing needed, she's all yours. Even though at times the tangible luxury is non existent, she has already touched you in a way like no other. She knows who she is...

George Zimmerman and his girlfriend who accused him of domestic violence have picked up their guns.
TMZ captured video of the pair leaving the Seminole County Sheriff's Office to pick up the guns that were seized after his arrest.
Zimmerman kept silent as the TMZ reporter peppered him with questions.
Samantha Scheibe alleged that Zimmerman shoved her out of her house and pulled out a shotgun, but she later recanted the story and the case was dropped.

The Truckee Tahoe Swim Team sent 18 swimmers to the Sierra Nevada Long Course Junior Olympics in Roseville from July 19-22.
The meet opened with chilly temperatures that steadily rose during the course of the event, which was held at a 50-meter outdoor pool. By Sunday the temperature reached 110 degrees and the heat was matched by 12-year-old Cooper deRyk's exciting performance that day in the 11/12 boys' 50-meter freestyle.
deRyk was seeded third going to the event and took first place in the preliminaries. He came back later Sunday night in the finals to take even more time off, which earned him first place again with a time of 29.20. This capped deRyk's full slate of seven events and two other medal races.
Next up for deRyk is the Far Western Invitational Championships in San Jose at the beginning of August, followed immediately by a full week of swimming in Grand Junction, Colo., after being selected as a member of the Sierra Nevada Western Zones all-star team.
Caitlin Smith, the youngest member of the Truckee Tahoe Swim Team (TTST) Junior Olympic (JO) team at 8 years old, also raced to a spectacular first-place finish in the 50-meter butterfly with a time of 43.46. Smith not only swam events in the 8 and under age group, but also qualified for events in the 10 and under age group to swim in a total of six events.
TTST fielded a strong group of swimmers in the 9-10 age group. Leading the way was 10-year-old Allison Lockard. Lockard brought home an incredible five medals (two fourths and three sixths) out of the maximum allowance of seven events in the meet, and dropped lots of time along the way.
Rebecca Waterson, 9, also had a great meet. The highlight of her seven events was a fourth-place swim in the 50 butterfly, which also earned Waterson her first "AAA" time. Up next for both Lockard and Waterson are the Far Western Championships, and both were also selected to the Sierra Nevada Western Zone all-star team.
Swimming in her first JO meet was 10-year-old Zoe Klenke. Klenke swam to personal bests in three of her four events, including a 3.5-second drop in her 100 backstroke.
Hunter Hoffman, also 10, swam in his first long-course JOs after only swimming in a long-course pool for the first time three months ago. Hoffman swam just shy of the finals with a ninth place in the 50 butterfly and his first "A" time.
Emmy Purdy, 9, also swam a full seven events and swam best times in most of them. The high point of Purdy's meet was dropping a whopping 9.5 seconds off of her 100 butterfly time. Rounding out the 9-10-year-old contingent is recently turned 9-year-old Annika Thayer. This was Thayer's third appearance at the JOs, which was highlighted by a 13-second drop in the 200 freestyle.
The 9-10 girls also fielded relays in the 10 and under age group. Swimming to a fifth-place finish was the team's 200 medley relay team. Each swimmer completed 50 meters of the pool. Klenke led off with a backstroke swim followed by Lockard with breaststroke. Waterson took the butterfly leg and Purdy anchored with Freestyle. The foursome repeated for a fifth-place finish in the 200 freestyle relay.
Moving up an age group to the 11-12-year-olds, Kate Rye, 12, turned out an awesome 50 freestyle swim and with it earned her first "AA" time. Rye swam a full seven events and was a member of both TTST girls' 11-12, 200 medley and 200 freestyle relays, swimming freestyle legs in both events.
Swimming in her first JOs was 12-year-old Chloe Gorman. Her 200 breaststroke was the highlight of her meet. She dropped more than 9 seconds from a time she had just set only weeks before. The huge smiles on her parents' faces summed up the great swim. Gorman also swam both relays and was the breaststroker in the medley relay.
Megan Burrill, 11, chopped 14 seconds off of her 400 freestyle swim to cap off her JO experience. Burrill swam in three events and also contributed to both 11-12 girls' relays with a turn at butterfly in the 200 IM relay. Anna Kates, also 11, helped round out the two 11-12 relays with a backstroke swim in the 200 medley relays and freestyle swim in the 200 free relay.
After recently moving up to a new age group, Sean Percin, 11, qualified for three events. Percin swam personal bests in events he had just set times in two weeks before.
In the 13-14 age group, Kyla Burrill, 14 swam in seven events and took large amounts of time off in most of them. Among them, Burrill took off 5 seconds from her 200 butterfly and 6 seconds off of her 400 freestyle. Niki Kates also 14, swam in six events and had personal bests in half of them, including a 5-second drop in the 200 IM. Jake Hamilton finished the season strong in his last meet as a 14-year-old. He swam in seven events and dropped significant time in both the 200 IM (8 seconds) and the 400 freestyle (9 seconds).
Lastly, TTST sent two 17-year-olds to the meet. Amanda Novick swam in seven events and made the finals in four. Novick's highlight was a fourth place in the 1,500 freestyle. She also took home a seventh and two eighth-place medals. Kaleb Rodarte also swam seven events, including seventh place with a 4-second time drop in the 100 butterfly. Rodarte finished JOs and went straight to Sectionals in Santa Clarita; he was also selected to the Western Zone team.
Coaches Debbie Meyer and Betsy Hansen both attended the meet and were thrilled with the number of swimmers TTST sent and the dedication the swimmers put in to qualify.
"The competition and weather were challenging, but TTST swimmers stepped it up and did an amazing job," Meyer said.
TTST offers training and practice groups for swimmers of all ages and ability levels. Swim with TTST at the team's upcoming open-water event, Hot August Chill, to be held at Donner Lake on Sunday, Aug. 19. Find more information at www.truckeeswim.com.

My eight year old grand daughter always has her own little tree in her room every Christmas. She loves decorating but can't put big items or many breakable a due to the cat. I showed her this and she asked if I would help her make some for her tree. Thanks for giving us some time together to be creative and probably silly.

Could PSU become 'Tight End U' (John Strollo Q&A)
November 15, 2012 - Cory Giger
Penn State's nickname has long been "Linebacker U," but under Bill O'Brien, another nickname could be forthcoming: "Tight End U."
"I've heard the Linebacker U, of course, over the years, but I don't know who's calling it Tight End U," Nittany Lions tight ends coach John Strollo said Thursday. "If they are, that's great, it's wonderful. Maybe I'll make up a T-shirt or something."
As expected with O'Brien coming from the New England Patriots, the tight end has become a much bigger part of Penn State's offense. Kyle Carter has 36 catches, and combined the tight ends have 73 receptions this season. Last year the total was 15.
Strollo addressed the success of the tight ends and other topics during this Q&A.
Q: How much will the success of the tight ends this year help with recruiting that position?
A: I think that anybody who plays tight end would be interested in what we're doing here. That's something that's fairly obvious. We've gotten some good input from kids.
Q: What was your reaction when Bill O'Brien approached you about becoming the tight ends coach?
A: It was a great honor, number one, to be asked, and number two to be asked to come to Penn State. I knew that it would be an exciting learning experience.
Q: Do you consider this a dream job?
A: I don't know who wouldn't.
Q: How much has the tight end position changed in football, and do you think it will continue to evolve into a bigger factor?
A: If you remember a guy named John Mackey, played for the Colts when they were the Baltimore Colts, I don't think there was a big revelation. I think what Coach O'Brien and the Patriots and now Penn State have done, we've used anybody that has unique talents and just let them use those talents.
Q: What do you look for when recruiting a tight end?
A: A tight end by definition is a guy that can block and catch, so that's what we look for. Any football player needs to have an explosive component and speed, of course they need size. I think to qualify as a tight end you need to be tall enough and big enough. I think what you're really looking for is a guy that's productive and playing at a high level of competition.
Q: How would you evaluate Kyle Carter's season, and how has he handled things mentally after enduring a season-ending hand injury?
A: We knew Kyle was a pretty productive and exceptional kid. You see him in games make some catches, you should see the things he does in practice. And he's got to work on aspects of his game, too, he knows that. ... But we thought he was going to be very productive. ... As far as his injury goes, Kyle has got a tremendous attitude on life, and he has a tremendous drive. So I think he's going to handle whatever hand he's been dealt and go on. He's going to move forward with it. What we talked about [Wednesday] was the fact that he could really, really concentrate the next couple months on his academics, and he's a very strong student to begin with. ... He's not the kind of kid that lays around and moans about his circumstances.
Q: What did you see on Matt Lehman's fumble play at the goal line at Nebraska, and what could he have done in terms of ball protection there?
A: You're talking about a guy or guys that are trying to win football games, and he tried to make a play. Some people say he made the play, some people say he didn't. The people that counted are the refs, and they said he didn't. So we're not worried about that, we're worried about Indiana.
Q: How important are the relationships you form with people throughout the state in recruiting, especially with potential walk-ons who might be interested in other schools where they could get scholarships?
A: The one thing that's so impressive about Penn State is how important it is to the people in Pennsylvania, at least that's the impression I get. I think no matter who you talk to in Pennsylvania, no matter what the opportunities they have, they're interested in coming to Penn State in some way, shape or form. I don't blame them. This place is remarkable.
Q: What has it been like working with O'Brien?
A: The number one thing is he's a fun guy to be around. The second thing is -- I'm no expert -- but the minute we started working together I saw him as an exceptional talent. Quick-minded, quick-witted, a guy that sees things, understands that you have to make quick decisions but usually makes the right one. He's a very talented individual, and I feel lucky to be here with him. I think he's going to do everything in his power to continue Penn State with the winning tradition that they've had here.

wasn't exactly the start for Windows Phone 7 that Microsoft might have dreamed
of, but the platform is far from out of the picture.
Windows Phone 7 lost some ground in October 2010 through January 2011 of this
year according to market research firm comScore.
The platform dipped from 9.7 percent market share to 8.0 percent.
Other losers for the quarter were HP's Palm unit, which fell from 3.9 to 3.2
percent, and RIM, which dropped from 35.8 to 30.4 percent. Apple held
steady, beginning at 24.6 and closing at 24.7 percent.
The only real winner was Android that soared from 23.5 percent to 31.2 percent.
In other words -- Android is eating everyone else's lunch, except for
Apple that is hanging steady due to its legion of loyal fans.
Ultimately this is news we've known for some time now. Other market
research reports have reported Android already having passed RIM and iOS.
The interesting and much-talked-about aspect of this particular report is
the implication that Microsoft lost even more market share.
While it's tempting to predict to buy in to the gloom and predict the demise of
Windows Phone 7 (and some are indeed doing exactly that), the outlook for
Windows Phone 7 is pretty good. With arguably the market's most
cutting-edge user interface (and a well-liked one by customers to boot) Windows
Phone 7 offers a unique profile.
With a partnership with Nokia in hand it seems
destined for a large boost in market share, possibly to the number two
position, as Nokia phases out Symbian over the next year. Many have
expressed skepticism of this given Nokia's poor performance, but history shows
that Nokia is more than capable of lingering around, market share-wise, despite
an anemic smartphone lineup in the U.S. And while recently revealed
details indicate Microsoft may have essentially "bought" that market share
via a $1B USD payout to Nokia, at the end of the day
it's where the market moves that counts.
The reasons for the dip seem pretty straightforward.
First, there was a limited number of handset options at launch time compared to
Android and WP7 handsets haven't landed on Verizon or Sprint. In this
regard Microsoft will continue to suffer for a little while as a Microsoft spokesperson
says that the handsets won't hit America's biggest and third biggest
(respectively) carriers until June 30.
Second, many buyers on AT&T and T-Mobile who might be interested in Windows
Phone 7 handsets may be waiting to see how Microsoft's intense cycle of early updates plays out.
Those updates will add functionality like third-party multi-tasking and
copy and paste. Likewise they're likely waiting for issues like update compatibility and phantom data to be cleaned up as Microsoft
and its hardware partners break in the platform.
Microsoft proclaimed earlier this year that it sold 2 million "units" of Windows Phone 7 (licenses,
not handsets) -- a rather misleading figure as its true handset totals were far
from that. Likewise, some of the platform's critics have been quick to call
it a tremendous failure.
Reality is that Windows Phone 7's true potential won't be seen until it lands
on Verizon -- effectively in July -- at the least. Like Android's
original launch, the most serious test will come at about the end of the year.
If the platform can't gain ground during the Nokia phase-in and with a
year of updates under its belt, then it's time to worry. But chances are
that Microsoft's position will improve -- even if its start was far from what
it might have hoped for in its most optimistic dreams.
quote: 1- Impressive showing is a subjective thing. There fans here seem to eb happy, and I've never said that what they have made is bad, they just haven;t really wowed either, sharing the same problems ande deficiencies in their mobile OSes as others have on their first outings. The thing is, this isn't MS's first outing with a mobile OS, as you admit.
quote: 2- I think you're waaaay off there. When my mother-in-law has a smart phone, then you know that the market has more than only just started. Sorry. You can try to pretend if you want. However, as I mentioned in another comment, the smart phone market is pretty mature, and those people who want a high end smart phone (which is where MS seem to be positioning WP7) probably already have one. They might move over, including myself, but that will depend on contract lengths now.
quote: 3- I'm not sure what you are talking about? Is the smart phone market started or not? You seem to be picking and choosing here a little. They might have obliterated Palm in the PDA/smart phone stakes, but then what did RIM do to MS in the smart phone market? As well as Symbian too, which has, admittedly, fallen by te way side now. Also, are you agreeing that MS isn't new to the smart phone market too? Which is all that I have been arguing really. WP7 isn't just a first iteration, it's a re-branding of Windows Mobile, with a major over haul too.
quote: 4- I never said that MS sucked?!?!?
quote: Never said that they would fail either.

During this loving season, many of us are looking for treats to make our celebration with our loved ones extra special. With a quick and easy no-bake recipe, Sweethearts Bark will satisfy both the sugar and chocolate lover! This sweet snack is great for the creative baker and will be perfect to indulge upon yourself or to surprise your sweetie this Valentine's Day season!
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
- Red food coloring
- Valentine's Day themed sprinkles (optional)
- Sweethearts ®
Baking Supplies:
- Medium sauce pan
- Parchment paper
- Flat baking sheet
- Two (2) large glass mixing bowls
- Line your baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
- Fill the sauce pan with water in the medium sauce pan to a slight boil over medium heat.
- Once the water begins to boil, pour the semisweet chocolate chips into one of the mixing bowls. Place this bowl over the boiling pan to create a double boiler.
- The chocolate begins to melt rapidly, so begin stirring instantly after placing the glass bowl over the sauce pan to prevent burning.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove the bowl from the sauce pan. Pour this melted mixture onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet trying to keep an even layer throughout.
- Place this layer into the refrigerator for 30 mins-1 hour to allow the chocolate to set. Remove from the refrigerator after this time, so the surface can become tacky and allow the two chocolate layers to stick to one another.
- Bring the water in the sauce pan to a boil again, and fill the second mixing bowl with the white chocolate chips. Turn the heat down and begin stirring instantly as white chocolate is more likely to seize up if heated too quickly at high temperatures.
- Once the white chocolate is melted and smooth, remove the bowl from the pan and add 2-3 drops of red food coloring. Stir thoroughly to spread the color throughout until it is a light pink. Too much food coloring will cause the white chocolate to seize and clump.
- Pour this melted white chocolate onto the chocolate layer on the parchment paper.
- Quickly press in Sweethearts in any manner throughout this top layer and add any additional Valentine's Day baking sprinkles you desire.
- Place the entire baking sheet back into the refrigerator for both layers to set completely for at least one hour. It is often best to leave it overnight.
- You will know when the chocolate has set as it will peel itself completely from the wax paper. Once this occurs, you can break the bark into as many pieces and different shapes as you like!
- Indulge!

From Yahoo! Sports
What a perfectly logical way to go about signing someone to a 1 year deal. I wonder if the Red Wings even did any research since they didn't even seem interested. Like I said, it's af****** joke. This is about as Win-Win as you can get in today's current market. Your "highest paid player" argument is funny though.
Great read. And the mind-boggling thing about Semin's reputation for the most part, besides the inconsistency and possible lack of commitment (which isn't foriegn to any team, the Wings included) was that Semin was basically an introvert. We're not talking about someone who fought with his teammates or was constantly making a spectacle of himself, its that in his previous environment he just didn't fit in. From all accounts, he seemed to not pal-around much with his former teammates and was probably a bit of an outcast. He was quiet, wasn't great at speaking English, and hadn't made much effort to learn.
How does THAT poison a team, especially one of the Wings constitution, and so much so that it outweighs his on-ice potential? Its over. Its done with. Still don't understand it.

Football Head Coach Pete Lembo Promotes Staff
Ball State head football coach Pete Lembo has announced promotions and additional duties to the coaching staff due to Rich Skrosky's acceptance of the head coaching position at Elon.
Joey Lynch has been named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after coaching the tight ends and serving as recruiting coordinator for the Cardinals for the last three seasons.
"Joey has been around the game his entire life and has done a tremendous job learning the nuances of our offensive system the last three years," Lembo says. "He has made meaningful contributions to our offensive game plans throughout that time and has learned a great deal from former offensive coordinator Rich Skrosky. I have great confidence in his ability to lead our offense and develop our young quarterbacks moving forward."
Lynch, who earned four letters at quarterback for the Cardinals from 2003-06, is completing his fifth year at Ball State with the 2013 season. After his 2007 graduation from Ball State, Lynch served as offensive coordinator for one season at St. Joseph's (Ind.) and one year as offensive coordinator at Ashland (2008) before joining the Ball State coaching staff. The son of former Ball State head coach Bill Lynch (1995-2002), he spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons as the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator for the Cardinals. In 2011, Lynch moved to tight ends coach and remained the team's recruiting coordinator.
Nick Tabacca, who has coached the offensive line at Ball State for the last two seasons, will add the title of run game coordinator.
"Nick has been an excellent addition to our coaching staff the last two years," Lembo says. "He not only learned our system quickly, but was able to develop and build cohesion with two uniquely different groups of offensive linemen. The progress of the 2013 offensive line, which was a relatively inexperienced unit, has been nothing short of amazing. Nick has also been a major asset off the field in terms of his ability to recruit and serve as football staff liaison with academic support."
Tabacca, who earned his bachelor's degree from Ball State in 2004 and his master's in 2006, is a former football letterwinner for the Cardinals. A former team captain at Ball State, Tabacca began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Cardinals in 2005 and 2006. He served as an assistant at Defiance (2007-09) and Butler (2010-11) before joining the Cardinals' staff as a fulltime coach in 2012.
Chad Wilt, who has served as the Cardinals' defensive line coach the last three seasons, will add the title of recruiting coordinator.
"Chad is very detailed, organized, personable and is more than ready to take on additional responsibilities," Lembo says. "After three years as a member of our staff and working at the university, he has a great feel for the intangibles we look for in future student-athletes. Chad will work well with our support staff and the various other campus departments which are vital to our recruitment efforts."
A 2000 graduate of Taylor, Wilt earned a master's from Virginia in 2005. He began his coaching career at William & Mary in 2001 and came to Ball State after one season at Richmond in 2010. Wilt spent three seasons as the defensive line coach and special team's coordinator at Central Connecticut State (2001-03) under the tutelage of former Ball State head coach Paul Schudel (1985-94).
Ball State, which will play in the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Jan. 5, will look to hire a tight ends coach in the near future. The Cardinals completed the 2013 regular season with a 10-2 overall mark and a 7-1 Mid-American Conference record.

Will Sweat Harm My Harness?
Since we are all such avid readers of your column we know that even unused nylon deteriorates over time so we should replace slings, ropes, cords, etc. regularly even if they appear OK. But what about my harness? How often should I replace it even if inspection doesn't yield any frays or wear spots? Also, will sweat cause a harness to wear out quicker?—Jhgbudd via ri.com
Did I write that about nylon? If so, the gear companies must love me (hey, where is my bag of cash?!) If not, I should say something to that effect even if the data on properly stored, unused nylon climbing gear is as skimpy as the coffee-shop girl's tube top. But the fact is, we don't precisely know nylon's shelf life. Rather, we go off our feelings, retiring nylon when it seems like it is time, a tactic that so far seems to have kept everyone reasonably safe, although one of the all-time greats, Todd Skinner, did die when his worn-out harness broke.
But unless you've gotten trapped in a drop of amber, replacing dated gear that is still in seemingly good condition is a moot point since anyone who calls himself a climber actually uses his junk and wears it out long before it gets old and dangerous and needs its license taken away. Knowing when to toss a harness is simple. Retire a harness when either the abrasion patch on the strap connecting the leg loops, or the belay/rappel loop is frayed. You should also replace a harness that has been exposed to battery acid (car trunks, garage floors!) or solvents, which means unless you've been drinking Drano, your sweaty crotch juice shouldn't harm your harness. Gear Guy has spoken!

Dominique Grant was enjoying a rare night out when her life ended in a hail of bullets.
By the numbers
Number of nonprofit private clubs in each county:COUNTY CLUBSCharleston 54Berkeley 28Dorchester 20Colleton 8
Accompanied by friends and her sister, the 25-year-old mother of two from West Ashley started drinking and dancing at 1 a.m. in a nightclub on Ashley River Road.
To offer tips
Anyone with information about the killing of Dominique Grant (above) should call the Sheriff's Office at 202-1700 or Crime Stoppers at 554-1111.
But at some point during that early August morning, Grant caught wind of one man's threats to shoot a member of her entourage over allegations of infidelity. She grabbed her sister's hand and walked out.
They continued their revelry at Frazier's Place, a roadhouse-style establishment near Ravenel that has been the scene of a killing and investigations into liquor-law violations.
But around 4 a.m., as the sisters and another young woman climbed inside a car to leave, a gunman walked up.
"That's when the bullets started going off," said Grant's sister, 17-year-old Ebony Priester. "I really think he was trying to aim for someone else. I don't think it was meant for Dominique."
Grant suffered wounds to her side, her shoulder and her buttocks. Her heartbeat was faint at first, but it had stopped by the time authorities arrived 12 minutes later.
The gunman made a quick escape. No arrests have been made.
Grant's death was one of four slayings and at least 13 shootings near Lowcountry nightclubs since the start of 2012.
Eleven people survived gunshot wounds during that time period.
The most recent shooting came Wednesday night, when two people suffered bullet wounds outside the Chase Lounge near Walterboro. The same club was the scene of a killing in September.
Three shootings in the Goose Creek area during the past four months also have been attributed to arguments that started at a members-only club.
Violence associated with clubs is nothing new for the authorities who keep an eye on it. A Post and Courier report in 2011 showed that 85 shootings since 2000 had killed 26 and wounded nearly 100.
County and city officials have campaigned in past years to rid communities in Ridgeville, Hollywood and North Charleston of places they deemed as nuisances.
But the problem persists.
In solving crimes, authorities often deal with witnesses who are hesitant to talk. In preventing them, they cope with club owners who violate rules, but find ways to circumvent regulations and stay in business.
But authorities say the violent incidents are, for the most part, infrequent.
'Faith in law'
When gunfire rang out at 9:50 p.m. Wednesday just outside Walterboro, two men bled in the parking lot outside the Chase Lounge at 1008 Proctor St.
Willie Lemon, 23, leaned against a car and nursed a gunshot wound in his arm as 23-year-old Ervin Walters lay on his back, unable to feel his legs. He had been shot four or five times.
When Colleton County's new sheriff arrived about 45 minutes later, only a dozen people remained at the scene. Deputies learned that a dispute led to the gunfire, but they struggled to identify a suspect with witnesses' descriptions.
"People don't tend to see anything or don't want to tell us what they've seen," Sheriff Andy Strickland said. "We're trying to restore faith in law enforcement, but we can't help them if they don't help us."
Colleton investigators in early September suffered similar obstacles when a 34-year-old was fatally shot outside the same club. They tried "on numerous occasions," they wrote in a report, to gather information from 20 witnesses.
But they eventually developed enough evidence to arrest Quoteas Sylvester Nesbitt, a 28-year-old man who had faced charges in the shooting of a 16-year-old two years before. He was one of several men indicted as part of an effort to root out gang activity in the Walterboro area.
"If (clubs) have the potential of being a problem, we step up routine patrols," Strickland said. "But we're very concerned about all shootings, as well as with the nightclubs."
Frequent calls
A YouTube video published Dec. 31 shows two men swinging punches at each other outside Club Pluto near Goose Creek.
In the video, which has since been removed, a photographer from the club snaps photographs of the brawl as men in black T-shirts featuring the word "security" look on. Women scream.
The fight never was reported to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, but deputies have responded to the address at 1230 Redbank Road for 14 assaults and 31 other disturbances during the past three years. They have fielded three reports of gunfire.
In one of those shootings, a club security guard shot at the man he said was trying to run him down with a vehicle in June 2011.
But recent gunfire that has been linked to the club has occurred on the nearby streets.
In October, a club photographer was shot during his drive home on NAD Road after a gunman sped up from behind. Two months later, two motorists exchanged gunfire after leaving the club, but no one was hit.
Then last month, three of four people in a car were shot as they rode away from the club. The most seriously injured, 21-year-old Brittany Sharee Middleton, was expected to recover.
Capt. John Grainger of the Goose Creek Police Department said this week that investigators have made no arrests and have developed no significant leads .
City detectives were working with county deputies to determine whether the recent cases are linked. They are monitoring gang activity, as several of last month's victims have associated themselves with a group known as the "Purp Gang," according to their Facebook posts.
Eric Greenway, director of the Berkeley County Planning and Zoning Commission, said his agency hadn't been made aware of any action against the club.
The club is classified as one of 28 nonprofit private clubs in Berkeley County, according to its state alcohol license. Charleston County has 54 such businesses.
The joints are meant to be low-key and for members only. But like many, Club Pluto doesn't shy from advertising its special events on social media.
Most weeks, the club's Facebook page touts "red light Mondays" and "I luv dem strippers Wednesdays."
On the night last month when two women and one man were shot, the club had advertised music by D.J. Kub & Partie Artie and a $10 flat fee for women to drink all they desired.
In earlier comments to The Post and Courier, an employee said Club Pluto was just a safe place to party.
Frazier's Place at 4971 County Line Road near Ravenel, where Grant was shot in August, also has had a rocky history in recent years.
After a man was fatally shot there in June 2007, Willie Frazier Jr. said he hadn't seen anything worse than a fist fight or shots fired into the air outside the club he has owned for 10 years.
But the next year, another patron was shot in the leg and the head during a brawl on the dance floor. He survived.
That shooting occurred early on a Sunday morning, a time when Frazier's license doesn't allow him to sell alcohol. It prompted an investigation by the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, which raided the club in February 2008.
Deputies confiscated 975 bottles of beer and 103 bottles of wine. They also found 82 bottles of liquor, which Frazier is not allowed to offer under a license that allows only the sale of beer and wine.
Frazier was arrested, and he pleaded guilty to two citations. But his alcohol license never was suspended, according to Samantha Cheek, spokeswoman for the S.C. Department of Revenue, which oversees permitting statewide.
Attempts to contact Frazier were not successful.
Grant's slaying launched another investigation by sheriffs' deputies, but it revealed no violations, Maj. Jim Brady said.
Brady said club owners who do get shut down will often open a new business under a different name. It's just one way to skirt the regulatory "mousetrap," he said.
"Violence is usually few and far between at these clubs," Brady said. "But we patrol them as often as we can."
Priester was only 16 when she said she was allowed to enter Frazier's Place and drink to her heart's content.
She said the dozens of people there on Aug. 18 were drinking beer, wine and mixed liquor beverages.
But exactly what led to her sister's death, which left the West Ashley High graduate's 6- and 10-year-old children motherless, remains a mystery. Priester thinks her sister got caught in a love quarrel that didn't involve her.
After the car she was in was riddled with bullets, Priester remembers seeing her bloodied sister, then the shadowy person who shot her. She didn't know him.
"I just kept pointing at the person," Priester said. "I wanted to go after him, but the security guards wouldn't let me.
"He ran in back of the club, and he was gone."

England have recorded their first series win in India since 1985, drawing the fourth Test in Nagpur to take the contest two games to one after coming from one nil behind in spectacular fashion over the past month.
England have recorded their first series win in India since 1985, drawing the fourth Test in Nagpur to take the contest two games to one after coming from one nil behind in spectacular fashion over the past month.
Ian Bell and Joe Root were in the middle when play was called off late on day five, Bell having scored a meticulous and valuable century, both from a personal and team perspective. Earlier in the day, Jonathan Trott had also made a ton, before falling to Ravi Ashwin for 143.
For a deck that was supposed to be a nightmare for the batsmen, the game saw more than 1000 runs scored, including the 352 for four England recorded in their second innings. Bell and Trott looked as comfortable as one could get during their century knocks.
England began the day on 161 for three, and Trott was on 66 and Bell on 24. The latter batted with more aggression in the morning, while Trott was happy to inch towards his ton and spent an age in the non-very-nervous nineties.
Trott reached lunch on 106 not out, while Ian batted patiently at the other end, and was on 61 at the break. India had seemingly accepted the game would end in a draw, slowing their over rate as they watched the lead climb to 244.
The most interesting part of the morning was that Sachin Tendulkar didn't take the field, and while it was suspected that he'd picked up a neck or shoulder niggle, no confirmation was forthcoming.
The afternoon session was much of the same from the England batsmen as they merely tried to see out the day. Bell struck a huge six just for the fun of it, and Trott made his way closer to a 150.
The former South African's double ton was not to be though as Ravi Ashwin finally ended his 310-ball knock. Trott edged a leg-side ball to Virat Kohli, who bagged it at leg slip, just before tea.
Debutant Joe Root came to the middle to see out the game, cap in place, and he struck a big six soon after getting off the mark, a stark contrast to the defensive way he batted in the first innings when making 73. He ended on 20 not out, while Bell was on 116.
This was India's first home defeat since losing to Australia in 2004, and it was their first loss in front of their own fans under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy. Alastair Cook, on the other hand, will always remember his first tour as skipper, where he broke a 27-year curse.
