514	CFC Goals
Reservoir - Lakeside
Saverio Rocca is possibly one of the most heavily scrutinised footballers to ever pull on a Collingwood jumper.
On his day, Rocca could take towering marks, score bundles of goals and take the game by the scruff of neck. He led Collingwood's goalkicking tally on seven occasions and took home the Copeland Trophy after kicking a career-high 93 goals in 1995.
In his teens, Rocca's first love was athletics, where he was the Australian discus champion at under-19 level.
He was spotted by Keith Burns, Collingwood's famous under-19s coach, when playing for North Reservoir Lakeside, the club that had produced Tony Shaw years earlier.
From the get go, Rocca showed great strength and pace off the mark, but his endurance levels sometimes counted against him.
Rocca made his senior debut in 1992 aged 18, playing 10 games for a return of 29 goals.
Season 1993 was when 'big Sav' demonstrated what he was capable of, kicking five goals in the first round against Footscray. He played the role of spearhead in round two, only to be shifted out of the limelight by veteran teammate Peter Daicos, who kicked eight goals to see the Pies to victory over a Gary Ablett-inspired Geelong at Victoria Park.
One week later, with Daicos out injured, Rocca kicked a match winning haul of five goals to sink Essendon before backing it up with six goals against Carlton's Stephen Silvagni, the full back of the century.
He reached further heights when he met Richmond at the MCG, when he booted four goals in the opening term and ended with 10 for the day.
A fortnight later, he again registered double digits to annihilate the Bulldogs, snagging seven goals by half time. He ended his second season with 73 goals, placing him sixth in the Coleman Medal.
Rocca began 1994 well, his seven-goal bag against Essendon in round five presenting a season highlight. He finished the year with 49 goals, but managed only nine in his last six games. It was during this time that he played his only final for the club, scoring a behind with his only kick of the day against West Coast in the Qualifying Final loss at the WACA.
But his disappointing end to 1994 was quickly forgotten by the time 1995 rolled around.
Rocca announced himself as a force to be reckoned with, kicking 93 goals for the season as well as winning his only Copeland Trophy.
Although the Magpies were winless until round seven, it didn't hinder Rocca, who benefited greatly from the presence of Dermott Brereton alongside him in the forward pocket. The Hawthorn legend been recruited from Sydney for one final fling at the AFL, and made his Collingwood debut in round three against Geelong.
Rocca immediately benefited from Brereton's experience, and netted six goals in their first outing together.
His season caught fire in the famous ANZAC Day draw against Essendon when he kicked nine goals and two behinds against a young Dustin Fletcher.
When the Pies finally broke through for a win against Sydney three weeks later, Rocca was in the thick of the action, netting four majors before slotting another 11 goals in the fortnight that followed.
On a cold night at the MCG, Rocca was the cataylst behind Collingwood's 96-point drubbing of the Crows, kicking 10 of his side's 24 goals to earn the three Brownlow votes.
It sparked a seven week run in which he kicked 40 goals at an average of more than five per game, capped off with eight goals from 10 marks against Essendon, a side that was on the end of many a Rocca thrashing in the years that followed.
Rocca fell just short of the 100 goal barrier, slotting two in the final round of the home and away season as his side's finals dream evaporated in the final quarter against Sydney.
He never quite hit the heights of '95 in the years that followed, but remained one of the most potent full forwards in the country.
Rocca kicked 66 goals in 18 games in 1996, a year that was most memorable for his six goals on a Monday night against Geelong. Unfortunately he watched the next three games from the grandstand after dislocating his shoulder.
He hit hit back strongly in 1997, kicking 76 goals to finish second in the Coleman Medal behind Adelaide star Tony Modra.
He began the year well, kicking six majors against Port Adelaide in his first outing alongside his younger brother Anthony, who had been traded to Collingwood from Sydney over the summer.
Rocca's hot start continued, kicking 10 goals against the lowly Demons on a Friday night in round two. He fired against eventual Preliminary Finalists North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs, kicking nine goals in a two week period under the Friday night lights.
Unfortunately, that's where the run ended, with Rocca and his teammates crashing to earth with a thud with heavy losses to Sydney and Hawthorn, with the full forward kicking just one goal in the two games.
He jagged four against Richmond but a goalless afternoon against West Coast at an ice-cold Victoria Park meant he was sentenced to the reserves for a week
Rocca earned a reprieve against Geelong but didn't take his opportunities, managing just three behinds on a day his side recorded its sixth loss in as many games.
He was again omitted for the round 15 meeting with Fremantle, only to earn a late call up to the seniors when Chad Liddell pulled out at the eleventh hour.
The drought broke, for both player and team, with Rocca kicking nine goals in a 100-point win in front of the adoring Victoria Park crowd.
Rocca's form ebbed and flowed with his side's as the year progressed, although he very nearly carried Collingwood into the finals when he kicked three goals from six scoring shots on a wet Monday night in Adelaide.
By 1998, Rocca was one of Collingwood's most recognisable figures, but the team's gradual decline made life difficult for the man in the goal square.
Rocca kicked 68 goals from 22 games, a haul highlighted by a career-high 11 goals against Fremantle at Victoria Park in round 10.
As was the norm, he tormented Essendon on ANZAC Day, kicking a bag of seven on third gamer Matthew Banks.
He also shelved talk of a poor record at Waverley Park with five goals against the Hawks in a hefty 86-point win in round 16, but inaccurate kicking plagued him from there on, finishing the year with 11 goals and 10 behinds in his last six games.
With his side destined for the wooden spoon, Rocca found the going tough in the final year of the 20th Century. He kicked just 33 goals – his lowest return since his debut season.
Groin and knee injuries made life tough and eventually forced him out of the last six games of the year.
There were some bright moments, such as his seven goal effort against Geelong in a three-point loss at Kardinia Park. He also spent some time in the ruck during season as coach Tony Shaw, by now in his final season, began to prepare the club for life after Damian Monkhorst.
The year 2000 heralded the birth of the Mick Malthouse era, but by September, it marked the end of the road for Saverio Rocca and Victoria Park.
He began the year in fine form, kicking five in wet conditions to help roll Adelaide in round two before snagging six in a 73-point thrashing of Carlton a week later.
But as the season wore on, he tapered off severely, with injuries calling an early end to his campaign after the loss to the Crows in round 17.
Sadly, it was that 38-point loss at Football Park in which Rocca pulled on the jumper for the final time.
The time had come for player and club to part ways, but without a trade in the offing, Rocca took his chances in the National Draft
North Melbourne coach Denis Pagan was the man who breathed new life into Rocca's career, offering him a second chance at the age of 27 with the 30th selection in the 2000 National Draft.
He kicked 48 goals from 21 games for his new club in 2001 to win the Roos' goalkicking. There was speculation at the end of the season that he would move to Adelaide or Geelong, but he re-signed with the Roos and had yet another solid season in 2002, kicking 50 goals to top the club goalkicking.
Rocca struggled at times in 2003, but kept persevering. When he was unable to crack a place in the seniors for the first two months of 2004 the writing was on the wall, but he responded well and booted 49 goals in 15 games, including a bag of eight against Richmond in round 11.
Revitalised, he had a strong season the following year although it ended in unusual circumstances when he had to be rushed to the ground with a police escort for North's Elimination Final against Port Adelaide after being at hospital to attend the birth of his child.
He was out of the team for the first half of 2006, but returned to be a handy contributor late in the year before announcing his retirement.
Fittingly, Rocca's final game was against Collingwood and his brother in round 22. Although his side lost by 68 points, Rocca kicked three goals and bowed out with a total of 748 goals from 257 senior games.
After his retirement, Rocca moved to the United States to pursue a gridiron career.
He will forever be a favourite son of the Collingwood supporters who stuck by the club during its bleakest decade, while his performance against Essendon in the ANZAC Day draw of 1995 ensures his legacy will live forever in the minds of football fans around Australia.

ALEXIS SANCHEZ scored a last minute penalty as Arsenal moved ahead of rivals Tottenham and into the top four.
Referee Lee Mason pointed to the spot after midfielder Aaron Ramsey was pulled down in the box by James Tarkowski with just seconds left on the clock.
And Sanchez coolly slotted past Nick Pope as furious home fans booed the officials off the field at the final whistle.
The Gunners coach only arrived 52 minutes before kick-off after getting delayed on their short drive over from Preston.
With Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool all dropping points on Saturday, this would have been a handy game for Arsene Wenger's men to win.
But for 91 minutes it appeared as though a resolute Burnley defence would keep the Gunners at bay and keep their fourth clean sheet in a row.
Burnley came close to taking an early lead when Iceland winger Joey Berg Gudmundsson skipped past Nacho Monreal and let fly.
It looked destined for the top corner but Petr Cech did superbly to tip the effort onto the post and away.
Shkodran Musafi flung himself in the way of Steven Defour's effort as Arsenal were on the ropes early on.
The Gunners finally woke up though and Alexandre Lacazette got clear down the left before crossing for Ramsey who blazed his shot over.
Tarkowski made a superb last ditch tackle to thwart Sanchez as he got a sight of goal - while Monreal fizzed a low shot inches wide.
Yet Cech had to come to the visitors rescue again minutes before the break as he went full stretch to tip away Robbie Brady's curling free-kick.
These two teams were neck and neck in the top half of the table going into this game and there was no sign that either side was going to come out on top.
Watching England boss Gareth Southgate must have been impressed by the way Ben Mee and Tarkowski were repelling everything Arsenal could throw at them.
When the visitors did get some space, Ramsey fired a rising drive over the angle - while Hector Bellerin appealed for a penalty when he went down under Brady's tackle.
The pair were involved at the other end soon afterwards but this time Bellerin did well to block Brady's goalbound effort.
Arsenal were lumping the ball into the box in the slim hope of finding a winner and when Sead Kolasinac headed the ball back across goal, Tarkowski made his one crucial mistake of the game by climbing over Ramsey leaving the ref with no choice but to point to the spot.
Mesut Ozil was due to start against Burnley but pulled out of the match will illness... and not for the first time.
Burnley had the chance to move up to fourth with a win over Arsenal. How long can they keep hold of Sean Dyche?
Arsene Wenger is rarely seen moving any quicker than a brisk walk but the northern chill must have got to him as he jogged back to his dugout after halftime.
Sacked Sunderland gaffer Simon Grayson was pictured with England boss Gareth Southgate in the stands. Business or pleasure?
Alexis Sanchez went into the game playing his part in five goals in his last five matches against Burnley and added to his tally right at the death.
Penalty has just been described to me as "soft as s***t" by one of the of the locals.

Huge news! After talks with PETA US, pharmaceutical giant Johnson Johnson has committed to not conducting or funding the forced swim test, in which mice or other small animals are dropped into beakers of water and swim frantically to keep from drowning.
Johnson Johnson has done the right thing in pulling the plug on the forced swim test, which is not just bad science but also hideously cruel.

Now in their 90s, last 2 women of Hilltop church's 'Posse' are celebrated
Holly Zachariah
hzachariah@dispatch.com
The two women sat on the front porch of the Hilltop home where one of them has lived for 75 years and giggled like school kids as they reminisced about decades of after-church trips every Sunday to the local MCL Cafeteria.
They joked about how the women around the table would scoop and save each last crumb of biscuit from their plates so that Ms. Dollene Scott could take the scraps home and throw them from the back stoop to feed the birds.
And Ms. Scott and Ms. Opal Walker teased each other about how one of them — Ms. Walker, who will be 94 in October — is known as the Facebook queen and constantly scrolls through her iPhone with its gold and pink glitter case. And how Ms. Scott, who just turned 97, had to pause the afternoon conversation to answer her ringing landline.

She doesn't own a microwave, her television (while color) probably predates the past several U.S. presidents, and she admits she would still use a ringer clothes washer if someone would only get her a new one.
"These new fandangled things," Ms. Scott said, coining a new word and pointing to her friend's cellphone. "I don't want to be bothered."
Beside her, Ms. Walker could only laugh and shake her head.
But this is part of the beauty of a friendship that goes back more than half a century: You come to appreciate each others' quirks as well as treasure the time spent together.
You see, Ms. Scott and Ms. Walker are all that's left of an iconic Hilltop fixture — the last two standing from a group of six Black women, all longtime members of the Oakley Full Gospel Baptist Church — who for decades have been known simply as "The Posse."
They have stood as testaments of faith and friendship to generations of young women in their community and still give counsel to whomever might seek it.
The title of church mother — decreed at Oakley by official testimony and documentation of the pastor, a deacon and the church clerk — is not one bestowed lightly. The official certificate, which quotes Titus 2: 1-5, hangs on a wall in the homes of both Ms. Scott and Ms. Walker. (Everyone who doesn't call the women Mom or Grandma uses the Ms. prefix. It's simply how they're known.)
"These women were made differently. They were made of strong constitution, born of the strength passed down from their ancestors who were slaves," said Ms. Scott's 77-year-old daughter, Judith Malcom. "They withstand so much when the adverse winds blow."
The women drew attention recently when a parade of 22 honking and decorated vehicles passed by Ms. Scott's Clarendon Avenue home for a surprise, socially-distanced birthday celebration on July 29.
"Oh my!" she said days later with a wave of one hand, still in disbelief. "So much fuss!"
Yet so well deserved, said Bishop Herman D. Ware Jr., senior pastor of Oakley. No, the church isn't on the Hilltop any longer (it's near Wilson Road and I-70 on the West Side) and, yes, the Posse members are mostly gone. But the power of and the reverence for the church mothers and the Posse is steadfast.
People like Ms. Walker and Ms. Scott should give us all hope, he said.
"They remain solid in their faith and in their love for the church," he said. "The church mothers, they are a constant. They are teachers. God has kept them there because they have seen a lot and they know what works and what won't work. They are to be treasured."
Ms. Scott was born in Gallia County and grew up in Lawrence County, both Appalachian communities along the Ohio River. She and her husband, Lawrence Dexter Scott, came to the Hilltop in June 1945 to the house where she still stays, though bars on the windows now are a concession to the changing face of the neighborhood she loves. They joined Oakley the following year, and she is the longest-serving member of a congregation that numbers between 250 and 300.
A retired federal government employee, she has been a widow since 1973.
As she sits on her porch each day, just a couple of blocks off Sullivant Avenue, she watches the women of the streets walk by with their backpacks, headed to nearby abandoned homes or up to Broad Street. She shakes her head and wonders what can be done to help them.
But she never is scared.
"When I got to bed at night, I just let the good Lord take over," she said. "It's all up to him."
Ms. Walker and her husband, Charles "Bo" Walker, came to Columbus in 1951 and, in 1963, moved to a home on Belvidere Avenue just around the corner from the Scotts. Now that she is a retired 30-year teacher at Columbus City Schools and a widow since 1990, that home is where she still stays.
The support of the women of the Posse has mattered to her from the start.
"We look out for one another. We always have, and us two still do," she said, smiling over at Ms. Scott.
The other members are long gone: Thelma Drummond died in 2009; Suretta Brothers died in 2010; Shirley Wright was lost in 2013; and Rose Brown passed on in 2016. Even some of the obituaries noted the Posse.
Charleta Tavares, a former Columbus City Council member and former state legislator who now is CEO of PrimaryOne Health centers, grew up in the Oakley church. She stopped attending there in her early 20s yet she remains connected to the Posse, and values all she learned at the hip of her elders.
"The mothers of the church, even at that time, they kept us all in line. They took it as if you were their children, too," said Tavares, 65. "They wanted you to be mannerable. They wanted you to be respectful. They wanted you to grow in the spirit of Christ. If your mom didn't see you fidgeting, chewing gum or not paying attention from the pews, the church mothers would and they would give you 'the look.' That was all it took."
So many people, she said, owe the women a debt of gratitude for their guidance.
Ms. Walker said it's the other way around, that the church members have been the gifts. She and her friend miss Sunday in-person services and the regular dinners afterward. This pandemic, she said, is a lonely time.
Yet she and Ms. Scott still talk almost every day, and visit each other often.
"She and I can talk about things that nobody else can talk about because of our age and experience and all that we've seen," Ms. Walker said. "Our friendship has been such a blessing,"

Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Cold cape cod clams 'gainst their wish do it

'Then all we heard was, '2 Chainz, give it up!' ' Harold 'Hammer Strength' Folsom says.
2 Chainz has steadfastly denied that he was robbed of his namesake jewelry at gunpoint in San Francisco last weekend. But on Thursday, the MC's bodyguard, Harold "Hammer Strength" Folsom, called in to a Columbus, Ohio, radio station and described for the first time exactly what happened during the daring daylight chase and grab.
"They pointed the guns at us and we was like 'Whoa!' We thought it was a joke for a minute. We looked at them, we stopped, kinda paused. We thought it was a joke. Then all we heard was, '2 Chainz, give it up.' So we like stood there and didn't do anything, and we kinda like froze, 'cause we wanted to see if this was real. All of a sudden, the next thing you know, 2 Chainz kinda like backed up a little bit. And then he said, 'Give it up. Give it up.' And then all of a sudden he took off. He took off running first. When he took off running, we took off running. Then all of a sudden these dudes, they just start shooting. I don't know where they shot at."
A surveillance video posted by TMZ corroborated Folsom's story, showing someone pulling a gun on Chainz and his crew. In the grainy clip, Chainz and his partners are walking down the street when two men approach them with guns drawn. The rapper and his people take off in different directions when they see the guns, with the purported robbers in hot pursuit, including one who skips down the street as he chases the Chainz posse.
Folsom said the attempted jacking came around 4:30 p.m., as the group came out of their van and were on their way to a store in downtown San Francisco. He also said the reports about the incident were way off. "TMZ got it all like we just left and left him standing there, and we just took off," said Folsom, who told the station that he never left Chainz's side during the robbery. "But he started running first, and we took off after he took off. So I don't know what they trying to make it seem like. The bottom line is he just fell, the dude he grabbed his wallet from him, and his cell phone from him, and that's all they took. He has his chains on him, his bracelet and all that, and all his jewelry with him and they ain't touch none of that."
For the record, Folsom said Chainz didn't have any money in his wallet and, as far as he's concerned the whole thing was a set up. "We know it was a setup so, that's why he told the police we will handle it," he said.

Early on July 16, unidentified warplanes conducted at least 3 airstrikes on the Turkish-occupied town of al-Bab in the Syrian province of Aleppo. The strikes destroyed a large building in the town center and led to multiple casualties. Pro-Turkish sources claim that there were civilian casualties only and that the United States or Russia were behind the strikes.
A few hours later, the Turkish Interior Ministry reported that a reconnaissance plane crashed in the Turkish province of Van, near the Iraqi border. 7 personnel, including 2 pilots, on board died in the incident that happened on Mount Artos.
Earlier this year, a series of airstrikes by unidentified aircraft killed several prominent terrorists, including well-known ISIS members, that were freely hiding in the Turkish-controlled part of Syria. The July 16 strikes could be a part of this campaign.
In response to all these developments, Turkish sources cried foul about the killed terrorists and Turkish-led forces were conducting strikes on positions of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces on the contact line in northern Syria. The Turkish Army reacted in a similar way to the July 16 events by shelling SDF positions near Tell Rifat.
On July 15 afternoon, a weapon depot of the SDF exploded in the province of al-Hasakah. The explosion that erupted next to the residential area of the al-Asrafiyah district reportedly killed or injured several SDF members.
Last month, an ammo depot of the SDF in in the vicinity of the town of Rmelan in the same province also exploded. Some sources claimed that Turkish warplanes destroyed it. However, the SDF didn't provide any information on the incident.
On top of this, a series of explosions rocked the SDF-controlled city of Raqqa on July 14. Three IEDs exploded inside an abandoned building in the al-Tub al-Hadith district in the city center and the fourth one in the al-Jazzrah district in the western part of the city. There have been no reports on casualties and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Nonetheless, the main suspect is ISIS cells, which recently increased activity on the eastern bank of the Euphrates.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Army artillery struck positions of Turkish proxies near the villages of al-Bara, Fatterah, Sufuhon and Fleifel in southern Idlib. The tensions in the region heightened since the car bomb attack on a joint Russian-Turkish patrol on July 14. Pro-militant sources reported multiple artillery and air strikes on their positions claiming that the Russians and Assad regime are once again opressing peaceful al-Qaeda members.

The more you come to yoga the better you feel.
I had a student tell me this week that since starting my classes three months ago, coming three times a week, that she has been able to completely drop a medication that she had taken for ten years. I was really thrilled for her, of course this won't happen with every student and every medication, but I believe yoga can make really profound differences to your health and happiness.
This sharing set me thinking about talking to you about how different it is to do yoga really regularly - and how I can support you all to do that.
Most of you come to our yoga classes because they make you feel good, and you know they are good for you. You feel good after class. I could write for days about why!
Did you know that once you start regularly practicing two to three times a week, that good feeling isn't just after class? it spreads out into your whole week - your life!
In my experience you start feeling so good you hunt down and notice the things that are making you feel bad - you start making choices such as not having that beer with dinner because you want to go to yoga tomorrow and not feel fuzzy, to skip the cheese that you love that makes you feel sluggish because it slows down your sun salute, the person who brings you down... you notice your body on the mat, and then observe yourself more carefully off the mat, you make little and big changes because you are becoming accomplished at noticing how you actually are.... you care for yourself on a whole new level.
If you were to take up running, and ran once a week or even less when you were busy, you would intuitively know that each run is going to be harder, every time than it might be if you ran every single week, once or twice a week, and, of course, so it is with yoga - come twice or three times per week and your practice becomes easier, even the non strenuous parts - by coming along often you can make really tangible and noticeable progress and you feel good all the time instead of just after class.
So, with this in mind I have been thinking about how to structure our end of things with the goal of giving you a extra motivation to commit to a regular practice. Which lead me to financial motivation, and monthly passes. We have always priced ourselves to encourage a twice weekly practice. I always hoped that people could afford a $10 class twice or three times per week or make it to one of our free classes. My latest plan is that I have made some passes that discount regular attendance, but also give you an incentive to commit to your own practice.
$65 monthly for 2 x per week / 8 per month + one free guest pass per month + free classes + workshop discounts ( direct debit only - $10 set up fee, no minimum term ).
Free Classes - currently if you are a monthly pass holder you may attend Mona Vale's Saturday morning class without it counting toward your total, Terrey Hills weekend afternoon classes or the Thursday morning 930am class at Freshie. The classes that you may attend will vary according to my whim and will be updated as they change on our passes page on our website - I want you to try out some of our venues and teachers!

Log Title:
Another Return Costumer
Mirage Nightcrawler
Xavier's School - Botanical Gardens
Brief log summary::
Dani Moonstar returns to the Mansion proper.
There is no TS in this log::
Post your log::
It's still early yet, most of the student body is probably still in bed, teenagers not being much for early rising…usually. It's the perfect time for someone to explore the grounds without being seen, unless one counts security cameras.
One such person would be former student and team member Danielle Moonstar. She meanders down one of the many paths that go through the gardens, mentally taking note of things that are the same and especially of those things that have changed.
As one traverses deeper into the gardens, they may eventually hear the rustle of leaves and dead underbrush. Remnants of the fall left exposed in this mixed winter in Massachusetts. Its a warm enough day, only spots of old snow/ice left to linger in the shadows of some of the taller bushes at best. But the movement of those leaves indicates one is not alone. If one were to listen further, they would hear light grunts, the deep expelling of breath in ahs and ohs that one would associate with a trained fighter. They are deep sighs one expunges from their body when committing to an attack least they receive a counter that normally could wind a chest full of air. But, there is no counter, it is perhaps a training excercise. Indeed, if one stays to watch or moves up even, a certain fuzzy blue elf will be glimpsed tumbling and thrusting with a sword an invisible foes in some regiment of exercise out in the gardens. He is mindful of the vegetation in its winter state, not distubring any of the living matter that awaits the call of spring that is already in the air this late February morning.
Pausing as she hears the exercise of someone up further, Dani has a momentary war of caution versus curiosty. She hadn't planned on encountering or even let her presence be known until she had a better idea of what the status of the school and teams where. Curiousity finally wins out as Dani decides that fate has other plans for her. She continues down the path towards the sounds, wondering if the person will be be someone she knows or someone she has to explain herself too. She isn't sure which would be better. Turning down the path towards the sparring noise, she makes no effort to be silent, she knows better than that.
Whether he hears her right away or it takes a moment before her footfalls find him amidst the exercise, Kurt doesn't take immediate notice. Instead, he finishes a few moves that involve rolling lungs and swings/thrusts while moving away from the invisible targets he has perceived. Eventually though, he comes to a pause, sword down as he turns his yellow eyes towards the sound of the approach. Perhaps lucky for him, there were times he'd spent training from of the former New Mutants, and he is perhaps known for his long standing membership on the X-Men Roster. Though, prior to her Asgard sabbatical, he'd gone to England and formed Excalibur with Captain Britian and company. His blue fuzz might be more recognizable to her, though he ponders for a few moments as he takes note of the woman who has arrived in the gardens. He has to blink at his thoughts but then some recollection comes over him and he smiles, small cannines sticking out against dark face, "Ms. Moonstar?" As if to be sure he's placing face and name, a lot has changed in a short time for both perhaps since they had last seen each other face to face.
Dani stoically watches as he finishes his routine, staying at a polite distance. Despite her stoic expression her posture is a bit stiff. While Dani herself might not be a memorable person, the same cannot be said of the man before her. And while they might not have hung out socially prior to both of thier leavings, she does remember, "Yes." she says with a nod silent a moment as if contemplating her next words "How many are still around?" she asks, cutting right to what matters.
A brow lifts, his expression deep, Kurt knows she is asking directly about her former teammates. That smile of his fades just a hint, he'd gone through thinking most of the X-Men where gone or deceased at one point. This isn't far from that mark. "Few Dani," he says directly. "I have recently spoken with your friend Rahne, she is loving in New York now, alone after serving with X-Factor. Xi'an had been around the mansion awhile back before I returned to the states, but she is not around now either. You friends Sam and Roberto are operating with a group called X-Force who are wanted for questioning over terrostic activities and association with a man named Cable. I believe an old friend of yours, Sally Blevins, has recently been freed from a terrorist group known as the Mutan Liberation Front, having been brain washed by a man named Stryfe. Rusty Collins is still with Stryfe." That covers some of the basics at least, his three-toed feet carry him towards the native american woman as his eyes take her in while he explains the circumstance of the former New Mutants.
A variety of emotions clash for ownership of Dani's face as she listens to the run down on her previous team mates statuses, happiness that Rahne is well, concern over the rest, especially those that have had dealings with the MLF. She nods, taking a deep calming breath "I guess I should have expected that. Nothing remains static for the likes of us." she cants her head to the side as she returns gaze, "And what of your team? I remember you had left to start a new one."
Cocking his head, the smile returns some, indeed the world is not static and Kurt is good with change it would seem. Regardless, he explians, "Excalibur is still functional, Captain Britian has returned to take leadership once more. We've had some disagrement regarding Meggan one could say. I stayed long enough to train the N-Men, but they have returned space. I figured it was a good time to return to see mein freunds, to see if I had a place with Charles." He lets that sit a moment, then follows up himself, "I have found a place with the new X-Factor, to see where this goes. Alex is rebuilding the team, but are role is as of yet undefined - they would prefer we not work with the X-Men so closely, but Alex has better resources her than with Val Cooper."
Dani looks toward the building as he answers, when she turns her gaze back to him she has a slight grin on her face, "And you came here to get away from that?" she seems a bit amused, recalling there being similar issues amoung the team members here, that is if certain rumours when she was here before are to be believed, "But I guess I have no room to talk. I've found myself at lose ends lately, and have come seeking the same.
"Oh," ponders Kurt, grinnig a little with curiousity as she both ponders his reason for leaving Excalibur and her similar return to the Mansion. Evidence again that mutant personal issues are no differant that human issues at their heart. Then again, he wouldn't know of that, most of his life evolving around mutant associations. "This is good news, someone with your training and ability … if the Professer doesn't have anything in mind and you're wanting to do something quickly. Alex might really be interested. I dare say, he would be a fool to not offer you a position. I recall you had extensive leadership ability while with your former classmates. You would fit right in …"
"Glad to see my leaving didn't ruin my reputation here." Dani says with a chuckle "I wasn't sure how my staying behind would be taken. The team seemed fine with it at the time, but feelings can change after awhile." she looks around and gestures to a nearby bench that sits sentry near some small evergreen bushes "Want to sit down?
There is nodding in agreement with what she says, Kurt agreeing and perhaps enjoying the chuckle from her. Though when she asks to sit, he deadpans a moment, as if shocked he didn't think of it. "I would love to sit, I could use a rest." From his morning exercise implied as he moves to sit, though he'll wait for Dani to sit first. "You went were you felt you belonged Danielle, no one can hold such a decision against you. I will admit, if any are like me, they will be glad you are with us again. You are strong, confident and capable, so I feel lucky to meet you here, like this." As he sits down, he puts both feet on the bench and does a large crouching position. "How do you find your return," he ponders, being in similar shoes himself, perhaps relating.
Dani nods "Same here, it was a longer walk from town then I remember." she moves to the bench and sits "Funny how time and age changes your preception of things." crossing her ankles she stretches her legs out in front of her, grinning at his quick assessment of her despite the fact that it has been years since they trained together "It is not as bad as I would have imagined. In fact I was going to wait a few more days before coming here but I ran into one of the current students in town and prompted me to come sooner.
"Everything changes," grins Kurt, "And yet we remain the same. I notice differences and yet, I still feel like I am my younger self." His tail flickers a moment, coming up as if testing the weather or the wind before settling behind him again. "Whichever student prompted this early return, we should commend them. That is an interesting situation, with the students. The Massachusetts Academy is being open once more," he offers this knowing some of the history between/amonst New Mutants and Hellions. "Charles worries it will end the same," dead students of the similar minded school even, "I am curious to see if there truly is a change of heart with Selene. It is ever the same with us, wondering one day to the next and then again, it is so great to just be alive." More quietly, "If you want more time to acquaint yourself, I'll not tell a soul you've returned …"
A breif frown meets the news, there certainly is no love lost between Dani and the Hellions. She probably will never forgive thier part in the murder of her grandfather, "Charles has every right to worry. I wouldn't…" she pauses a moment to consider her words, " or rather, I don't trust Selene. I do hope that she has changed though, for the sake of her students." her gaze goes from Kurt to the school and back again "I don't think silence will be necessary. I'm sure Charles already knows I am here. It was never easy keeping anything from him, even without all the security cameras.
He follows her gaze to the school and back again, Kurt pondering this and everything in between. "Selene has offered my a position to teach at her school. I have spoken with the Professor about it. As you say, I too am worried for the students. I would accept the position, but Charles doesn't want to take any risks at this point." Then a shrug, and a grin, "I'm sure he knew before you came to campus, and not merely through telepathy. He's letting you have your time." Letting one foot off the bench, he hugs his other leg against his chest. "Now I am curious, did you not have a flying horse at one point, or is that a rumor?" Indeed, swashbuckling debonair yellow eyes gleaming childhood fantasies in Kurt about that subject.
"Were it my decision I would certainly let you take the position, not only to keep the students from harm but to keep an eye on her as well. I'm sure he knows what he is doing. He probably already has a plan." a smile crosses Dani's face as the tone of conversation gets less serious "Still do actually, Brightwind is never more than a call away.
There is generally agreement regarding her words about Kurt teaching, and he himself has little more to add. When she smiles and affirms the horse is near at hand (or a call away), he almost beams. Trying to keep his poker face, he's more like a kid in a candy store. "I will admit, that would be new to me. Sure, I've flown a few planes, been in charge of the black bird. But flying horse … too cool." Then he cocks his head as if affecting a stage whisper, and does a bad Bogart voice over, "What's a fella aught to do 'round her to get picked up by a dame like you?" Perhaps his way of asking, would he be able to ride shotgun.
Dani chuckles at Kurt's playfulness realizing how much she missed human conversation. Sure Asgard was great and all but conversing with mythical gods isn't the same as talking to people that know and understand what it is to be human, or mutant as the case may be. "I think offering a few fencing lessons could be a start." she responds after thinking about it for a few moments "It will ultimately be up to Brightwind though.
"That hardly seems fair," grins Kurt, waxing mischievious for the moment even, "I mean, I would gladly teach you fencing regardless of circumstance … and all I have to do is befriend Brightwing?" Then he rolls his eyes up, hard to tell with all yellow eyes, but nonetheless, one would gather he looks up at the sky as if pondering the offer. "Done and Done Ms. Moonstar, consider it a deal." Then leaning over, "I have to admit, this made my day." But he doesn't say whether he means her showing up, or possibly getting to ride a flying horse.
"Well, yes I had the advantage in that deal and I probably would have introduced you to Brightwing eventually anyway, but what's done is done." Dani chuckles at Kurt's assumption that befriending an asgardian horse will be easy but doesn't disabuse him off it "I'm sure this will be the high point of my day. Charles has been almost like a father to me at times, but sometimes interviews with him can be a bit," pause, "unnerving?" she ends it with a question, wondering if she has picked the right word and if Kurt feels the same.
Kurt maybe misreads the chuckle and continues to smile at the situation, not considering anything other than the horse being absolutely friend - probably picturing himself flying on horses and fighting sky pirates. As for Charles, he ponders that for a moment, "I think I can see that about the Professor. Then again, anything that involves another being able to read my mind could be unnerving. There has been a lot of trust and mistrust between X-Men over the years. When Charles brought us on, we had to find the original team members and later, we fought one another. I find it easier on my faith, to take them at face value until someone proves otherwise. I disagree with Charles at times, like with Selene, but I still trust he knows what he's doing." That was probably very round about and not to the point. "I have been uneasy around him at times, but try not to dwell on it," he summizes (sp).
It might have been roundabout but Dani is smart and insightful enough to get where Kurt is coming from, "Fighting is to be expected when you are living in each others pockets day after day." she comments on the history of the X-men "We had similar moments on my previous team. How does yours get along over all?" as she talks she scans the surrounding with her eyes, noting that the sun is quite a bit higher, which means the school will be a blur of activity soon.
Watch System Dajan has disconnected.
"With X-Factor," begins Kurt, "I find it a unique juxtaposition." For a moment he conisders that word choice, then agrees with it, "Ja … As a government agency, I thought as an outsider it would be all business and with so many leaders, it would be hard for Alex to control his team. But with them, it is a unique experience. There is much work to do, and between that, the team seams self propelled to build itself. Perhaps it is that we understand each of us bring our unique qualities and we respect one another enough that heads are not clashed. During missions we are business, we all follow Alex, he differs to our experience. Off duty, there is time for play …" he thinks that's a correct term to describe what happens during down times.
"Sounds like the way a team should be. Maybe I will have the opprotunity to find out first hand." taking a deep breath Dani gets to her feet, "I guess I should go see if Charles is available before he gets bombarded with class and students. She gives Kurt a smile "I'm glad I ran into you first. I don't feel so much like the prodigal daughter." not that she has anything in common with the subject of that parable, she wasn't out living wild and free, but it still feels somewhat the same to her, "Thanks."
Giving a nod of his head up to her, Kurt smiles, "You're welcome. It is good to see you back around the Mansion." Furthering that she doesn't feel like the proverbial prodigal daughter. He gets to his feet as well, "I imagine Charles will be ready in his office - he'll pretend to be looking at student files even. Welcome home," he says. That could mean anything from welcome back to earth to welcome to the mansion. He doesn't elaborate but instead offers her a dueling bow and as she makes to go on her way, he seems ready to go back to fighting with inivisible pirates in the gardens.

Q: PHP include_once fails without warning or error for an existing file Got me an error thats got me stumped. Am trying to implement a custom class loader in php. Am on version 5.6.11. The problem is that I am building up the path to a file dynamically and then doing an "include_once" on that path. PHP is just terminating execution at that point with no warnings or error messages. The path is valid. The code is basically like this
require_once "lib/includes/web/classloader/default.php";
require_once "lib/includes/web/controller/default.php";
$classloader = new web\classloaders\ClassLoader();
$controller_path = $classloader->registerController();
if($controller_path != null){
    require_once("$controller_path");
}

The file_exists and is_readable checks are done in the registerController() function of the class loader.
I have also tried this:
require_once $controller_path;

and this:
require_once($controller_path);

Any ideas?
regards

A: There is no problem with the syntax as I tested with the code. The problem should be on the path. Try using echo $controller_path; die(); before using require_once to see the path.
OR
You can insert
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
at the beginning of the PHP page to enable error display so that you can see what is causing the error..
