Face facts we are a SECOND RATE club
I'll agree with half of your statement. Right now we are a second rate club. Until we win the prem we will be in the shadow of Chelsea and the Manc's. While we have the best record of any English team, its what we've done lately that really counts. And every year they are catching up!
But, you've got to recognize that this is just a moment in time, and right now there is no other team that has the potential to dethrown either the Manc's or Chelski scum. With little funds, and other than a handful of players, Rafa has steered an average team to FA cup glory, and 2 Championship finals. Won one of those finals, and should keep heads up about the performance in Athens.
Yes there are rumors about the Yanks not coming up with the cash, but time will tell. They've already shown the cash with a new stadium, allowing Rafa to buy up young latin prospects, and sign long-term contracts on key players (think those contracts came cheap?). The Yanks may not be fools with there money like the Russian, and they may not be the finest students of the game, but at the end of the day they are investors. And, any investor knows you need to build a business up in order to get a return. With LFC that means winning, that is what will bring glory to the team, and green to the owners.
Its early days in the transfer market, and while as a paid up member of the BNP I know you hate anyone of darker skin, or more than 3 syllabals in his last name, but we all know that Rafa's top list all play in La Liga. There season is not over, so no serious deal is going to be done for at least a week or two. Anything in the press now is coming from those who think they speak for a player or club, but really are just hangers on.
Sure there are EPL players available now, but with maybe the exception of Tevez, these are all B-list players. We need a winger and a striker, and a handful of squad players who can challenge the existing squad. Those B-list and squad level players are not going anywhere, so what's the rush.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

How can anyone say we are second rate, we finished this season in 3rd place, and played the last five games with a second string team.

Do you happen to know what size your Continentals are?
Amazon.com: Sunlite Square - Comp Cartridge Bottom Bracket - 68mm, ENG, Square Taper, 103mm, Steel: Sports & Outdoors Remarkably solid and buttery smooth, and freakishly inexpensive for the quality. You'll also end up with just about the narrowest possible Q factor too. Triple win. Post pics when done.
New crank installed.Attachment 375244

Yes chain line is off. I'll look at one of those 103mm, bottom brackets. thanks for the info
Update: New bottom bracket installed, chain line fixed. :)
Centurion: Townie Edition.
He is running a Shimano CB-E110 coaster Brake that has a 42mm chainline.
Running a 107mm BB with that crank will result (theoretically) in a 43.25mm chainline. Off by 1.25mm. Unfixable with spacers.
Running a 103mm BB with that crank will result in a 41.25mm chainline. Off by 0.75mm. Fixable with spacers.
I run a Shimano CB-E110 and use a 103mm BB with that crank and it fits flawlessly. The tolerance between the crank and shell is awesomely precise and looks like they were engineered for each other.
You don't have enough room to move your crank in 2mms closer to the shell?
Named after cycling legend Felice Gimondi, this retro styled crankset is designed with state of the art technology to perform at the highest level and still maintain a classic look. Forged and machined aluminium 6061 crankset. 100% CNC chainring of AL7075, Torx T-30 chainring bolts of aluminium 7075. Q-Factor: 149 mm, chainline 45 mm. Recommend bottom bracket axle length: 110.5 mm. Also compatible with 3/32" or 1/8" chains.
theyre cranked down pretty hard and its the second time theyve been put on, theyre mad close to the shell. maybe with new ones not over-tightened theyd fit fine on a 103. i was confused about the chainline but that hub explains it, i have the same one, but im not using it right now. and i forgot that it was for a 45 chainline.
anyway, that chain gaurd is tooo cool.
It's pretty sick looking. ;)
daaang. thats tight. mines super close and you can see a little spindle and i thought it was pretty cool, but thats on some next level closeness hahah
still technically a picture of my townie but very up close not trying to derail
but heres mine. its like 42-43 right meow.
Here is my old Townie that I parted ways with about 4 years ago. I called it the "Gentlemen Hipster".

Thinking of building a new Townie and have a few questions for the hive mind that I posted in this thread:
Any help is appreciated.
Goodness Of Fit
I like the looks of those OYB bags.
The front is an OYB. I still have it and may put it on the new ride. The back bag is a Tom Bihn Ristretto bag that had a map pocket that slid perfectly over the seat post rack, and waist straps that I used to lack it in place around the frame.
It's a common Wald basket. Any bike shop can get you one if they have none in stock.
Scrodzilla is right, i got this basket for 18 dollars i think. the basket is nothing to complain about its not particularly perfect, nor is it horrible.
That's a pretty good deal. I'll have to order one next week if I pick up a second bike I'm looking at.
I need a beer bike.
My new commuter.
Rode my Lotus Pegasus to work today. It was fun to take some of the brick roads I normally avoid and take in some new scenery.

BF East Bay ride, Saturday Feb. 2, 10 am start from Sunol
You're all cordially invited to come out to the East Bay and join me on one of my favorite rides, starting in Sunol and heading over Calaveras Road, then back into Fremont and up to to Mission San Jose for lunch, then up Palomares Rd, into Pleasanton and down Foothill Rd back to Sunol.
Those so inclinced can then join me at Bosco's Bones & Brew in beautiful downtown Sunol for a snack and maybe a nice recovery beverage.
We'll be starting in Sunol at 10 am, at the parking lot of the Sunol Glen School at the corner of Bond & Main Sts.
Then we'll head over Calaveras Road (average grade ~4-5%), down into Milpitas, back into Fremont and up Mission Blvd. to Mission San Jose.
We'll have a lunch break at Mission Coffee on Washington Blvd. which is at about the mile 26 point.
Then we'll have a nice long shallow descent down Mission Blvd (zoom!) and hang a right onto Niles Canyon Rd., then climb up Palomares Road (average grade ~ 6%, a couple of bits ~10-12% but happily they are short). Then a really nice descent down the other side of Palomares (a reasonably smooth, wide road with minimal turns and good sightlines - zoom zoom!), then up Dublin Canyon Rd. to Pleasanton and south on Foothill Rd back into Sunol.
As mapped out here, it'll be roughly 57 miles and around 4000 ft of climbing:
An option those who would like to make it quicker or easier: Once we reach Niles Canyon Rd. you can continue straight on Niles Canyon to Sunol rather than heading up Palomares. That would be about 37 miles total, and roughly 1700 ft of climbing.
There are many other options for the studly ones : up and back on Welch Creek Road; a loop up Sierra Rd and down Felter to re-join the route; or, at the north end of Palomares, instead of heading east on Dublin Canyon you can head west on Castro Valley Blvd, then north/east on Crow Canyon to Norris Canyon, then south on San Ramon Blvd which becomes Foothill. I can map those out as well.
I created a ride listing on bikejournal here:
SF East Bay ride, Calaveras/Palomares
Hope you can make it !

Moviegoers across the country stormed theaters this past weekend and sent the mythological blockbuster "Immortals" to the top of the box office, but only one lucky group of fans got a chance to see the film with Kellan Lutz, one of the stars of the film.
Fanny Rodriguez got just that when she won MTV's "Immortals" sweepstakes. As the winner of the sweepstakes, Rodriguez got to throw a hometown screening of "Immortals" in her native San Diego with all of her friends and family in the audience.
The crowd was treated to a special appearance by Lutz, who plays Poseidon in the Tarsem Singh-directed epic, and the new Rogue3D glasses that were created by Marchon3D for the film's release. The specs take a more fashion-minded approach to 3D glasses and look no different than a regular pair of Aviators.
Rodriguez says she never expected how much she would really experience with the sweepstakes.
"Never in my life had I met a celebrity with such a great personality, he is such a sweet heart. Words can't explain how pleased I am with this whole experience," she said. "I just couldn't drop my big-o smile, from the moment I saw Kellan walking towards me to the very end of the movie."
Lutz had left such an impression on Rodriguez that she even took to Twitter to thank the actor again, to which Lutz replied, "thank you! You guys were great to hang with!"
Tell us what you think in the comments section and on Twitter!

Charles preached his sermon on Ephesians 5:14 before the University of Oxford on Sunday 4 April 1742, which was not the first time that he had addressed that congregation. 1 This date falls in the middle of one of the larger gaps in the MS journal extract, and no other record appears to have survived of Charles's movements during the early part of 1742. 2 However, the date is clearly recorded on the first edition of the sermon itself and, as was noted in Chapter 4 , John's journal entry for that day records how 'about two in the afternoon, being the time my brother was preaching at Oxford before the University, I desired a few persons to meet with me and join in prayer'. 3 Given the clear attestation of authorship, then, it is not surprising that there is no dispute regarding the origin of the sermon with Charles. This despite the fact that it has been consistently printed in collections of sermons by John Wesley from the edition of 1746 on (though unlike 'The Cause and Cure of Earthquakes', it has always been identified as the work of Charles). Outler included it in the bicentennial edition. 4
No MS is known. Numerous copies of the various pamphlet editions are scattered widely across Methodist archives, 5 but only four copies of the first edition have to date been traced. These are at the Bodleian in Oxford (a copy of which is held at Duke), Yale, Toronto, and at the Methodist Publishing House in Nashville, Tennessee. The Oxford copy has been used as the basis for the text printed here. However, comparison of the Bodleian and Toronto texts indicates that they are not identical. Certainly they have been typeset differently and there are some minor changes in wording. The earliest edition that has been traced to date in the MARC is the sixth (1744). The more significant differences between the first edition and the form that this sermon has in Sermons on Several Occasions have been indicated in the notes.
The main outline and purpose of this sermon is not difficult to discern. Drawing on the words of his text 'Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light', Charles seeks to call those he considers to be in a state of spiritual somnolence from their slumbers. This 'sleep' is, says Charles, the natural state of the human soul until

|Will and Grace Notes: "A Turn for the Nurse," at the Richmond Hill Barn Theatre through July 18
|Theatre - Reviews
|Written by Thom White
|Wednesday, 14 July 2010 06:00
One of Joe DePauw's smartest directorial choices for the Richmond Hill Barn Theatre's A Turn for the Nurse was to avoid camp. His cast doesn't play the crime farce for laughs and, as a result, may get more of them than they otherwise might've; to be sure, Saturday's audience was offering up laughter aplenty throughout the performance.

- Narrow beam pitch, which enables the customer to simplify the optics design of their printing system.
- High thermal radiation design for high temperature operation, which enables the customer to deliver high printing quality.
- High accuracy mounting for junction down die bonding for low droop. This also improves the printing quality of the customer's printing system.
- Tuning LD characteristics by new structure to meet each customer's requirement to realize their printing system technology advantage.
Oclaro Delivers The Smallest And Most Lightweight 4 And 8 Beam Red Laser Diodes That Also Improve Printing Quality
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a tier-one provider and innovator of optical communications and laser solutions, today announced significant advancements in its red laser diodes that has enabled them to reduce the size of 4 beam red laser diodes by 75 percent (from TO9.0mm to TO5.6mm) and 8 beam red laser diodes by 80 percent (from TO16.0 to TO9.0mm.) These significant reductions will enable customers designing laser beam printers (LBPs) and multi-function printers (MFPs) to design smaller and more compact printers or to utilize the extra space for adding more features and functionality. In addition, Oclaro has significantly improved the printing quality of its red laser diodes by modifying their structure to produce the smallest and most precise laser beam available from any red laser diode in the industry. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130129/SF49903LOGO)To achieve the size reductions and improve the printing quality of its red laser diodes, Oclaro leveraged its 30 years of laser diode expertise. To date, no other company has achieved these size reductions or has been able to deliver this level of laser beam precision (known as low droop and small deviation). As a result of both of these innovations, Oclaro customers will now be able to offer improved printing quality while at the same time providing more lightweight and compact designs to their customers. Oclaro will be showcasing its 4 and 8 beam red laser diodes at this week's Photonics West Conference in the Oclaro booth # 1101 from Feb. 5-7, 2013 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA. "Customers designing LBP and MFP applications are under increasing pressure to improve printing quality and deliver light-weight products to customers," said Tadayuki Kanno, President, Oclaro Japan, Inc & GM, Modules & Devices Business Unit. "Once again, Oclaro has been able to uniquely meet customers' needs by leveraging our fundamental expertise and understanding of the red laser diode design to produce the features, quality and performance that customers need to achieve a competitive advantage." About the 4 Beam and 8 Beam Laser DiodesThe Oclaro red beam laser diodes are ideally suited for customers designing MFPs and LPBs. Some of the key features of these red laser diodes include:

Alistair Begg explains that in the story of Zaccheus we see the essence of Christmas. This Jesus is Immanuel, God with us, and he has come "to save his people from their sins." The story of Christmas is the story of God giving himself to seek and save helpless sinners, and he still calls out today to all who will acknowledge their need.Continue reading …

i.e it won't make a difference on my camera ?

St. Boniface to host Christmas concert
FULDA – St. Boniface Catholic Church will host an Advent and Christmas concert Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. featuring Celebration Singers of Dubois, Spencer and Martin counties. The public is welcome to attend. The event is sponsored by the Heritage and Fundraising Commission at St. Boniface.
Candlelight service set for Sunday
ST. MEINRAD – The Saint Meinrad Archabbey Church will participate in a special way in the Holy Year of Mercy designated by Pope Francis. The jubilee year began Dec. 8 and will conclude Nov. 20, 2016.
Catholics will be able to experience the spiritual benefits of this extraordinary jubilee year in various ways. They are also invited during the year to reach out with God's mercy to people who experience needs of various sorts.
ST. MEINRAD – Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery is hosting an exhibit of artwork by artist Brother Martin Erspamer OSB, from now through the end of December.
This show, titled "Recent Works," is a collection of new work he has done in ceramics, relief prints, serigraphs and works on paper. Many of the artwork pieces are also for sale.
TELL CITY – The Hometown Holidays drawings were held Friday, Dec. 4. Each winner won a $25 gift certificate redeemable at any of the participating merchants. A total of $650 was given away.
Pair of live nativities planned for Saturday
TELL CITY – Two live nativities are planned in Tell City for this Saturday, Dec. 12. Both are being sponsored by local churches.
The first will be located across from the Tell City Depot on Seventh Street beginning at 6:30 p.m. For more information, contact Mona Lehman with Evangelical United Christ of Christ at (812) 547-3302 or Nick DeBasi from Deer Creek Baptist Church at (812) 569-1403.
The public is encouraged to visit the live nativity.
JASPER – The FertilityCare program refers to a natural method to avoid or achieve pregnancy. The Creighton Model coordinates with a couple's fertility cycle without the use of drugs or contraceptives.
The program teaches the couple to identify the woman's fertile and infertile days in order to achieve or avoid a pregnancy. This program is available through Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center.
Check houseplant leaves for brown, dry edges, which indicates too little relative humidity in the house. Increase humidity by running a humidifier, grouping plants or using pebble trays.
Extend the lives of holiday plants such as poinsettias and Christmas cactus by placing them in a cool, brightly lit area that is free from warm or cold drafts.
SANTA CLAUS – The Story Trek with Todd Hansen will feature the famous Christmassy town of Santa Claus, on Monday, Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. central time. The Story Trek will air on Dish Network channel 9403 and DirecTV channel 374.

Locations filmed include Santa's Cottages, Santa Claus United Methodist Church, Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort, Santa Claus Post Office, and more.
SANTA CLAUS – Buying a new home can be a "roller-coaster experience" and during Thursday's episode of House Hunters, the buyers take that phrase literally, with a ride on Holiday World's Thunderbird.
"When the producers of House Hunters asked us for a tour of the park, we couldn't wait to offer them a ride on Thunderbird," said Holiday World's president, Matt Eckert. "The home buyers - Tom and Terri - didn't hesitate; they rode over and over. In fact, they spent two days with us."
FERDINAND – The Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand will offer a program, "On Staying at Table: Being Faithful Amidst Life's Difficulties," on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 9:30 a.m. Eastern time until 11:30 a.m. at the Benedictine Hospitality Center at Kordes Hall on the grounds of Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand.

For this week's review of High 5 Pie and Pie in Fremont, I ate a lot of pie. Some of it was good pie, most of it was not. All of my eating (including the half-dozen bright-and-shiny, industrially made Dolly Madison fruit pies I bought from the local grocery store in order to wash the memory of the awful hand pies at High 5 from my brain) was predicated on the insistence by many learned food writers and catalogers of taste and appetite that pie, in all its varied forms, was going to be the hot new thing in 2011--that it was going to be the new cupcake, and that wise bakers would, on January 1, toss all their cupcake tins into the trash and go running through the streets searching for lard and 9-inch pans and pie weights.
This kind of thing happens every year. Food writers, on the whole, are just as lazy as everyone else when the holiday season rolls around. They want something fast, cheap, and easy to fill all those column inches in the debauched days between Christmas and New Year's Eve. And nothing is faster, cheaper, or easier than writing trend stories--wrap-ups of things that are new, things that are hot, things that have lost their luster in the past 365.A trend story serves a triple purpose. First, because it is ostensibly talking about current events and tastes, it seems like news even though it really isn't. Second, it can appear to have taken loads of research--careful consideration of many variables, the study of long columns of figures, and repeated phone calls to the Apple Growers Union and the Cranberry Defense Fund--even though, for the most part, said stories are pulled completely from the ass, based entirely on opinion and speculation, and are generally written while hungover, past deadline, and between mid-afternoon episodes of Judge Judy.
Finally, the trend story has one other thing going for it: People love them. No matter how ridiculous, no matter how ill-informed, readers love a trend story because, no matter which side of the internal debate they fall on, it gives them something to argue about. BLANK is the new BLANK is like catnip for loosely invested readers, the ultimate hit of fluff. And those blanks can be anything. Jean shorts are the new hot pants. Weed is the new beer. Black is the new blonde. Whatever. And in the food world, people just go nuts for them. Saying that anything is the new anything is tantamount to walking into a punk club and slapping a little KC and the Sunshine Band on the juke, or sitting down at a Boeing bar and complaining loudly about how EADS was robbed on that new tanker contract. You're probably going to start a fight.
But even though I can understand the attraction of a trend story--because I too am occasionally lazy, always up against a deadline, and enjoy starting fights just for the pure, giddy thrill of it--this whole Pie vs. Cupcakes thing bothered me right from the start. And the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. Because even as featherweight as your average trend story is, there are still some rules:
1) You can't call a trend dead while it is still very much alive. You can wish it dead. You can imagine its imminent demise. Like bacon, you can certainly say it has jumped the shark. But someone can't just say that the cupcake trend is dead when, in any major city, you can't huck a brick without a reasonable chance it will go through the window of the local cupcakery. Much as I hate them, cupcakes are still everywhere. And no matter how many times some uppity food writer says they are over, the 10 bazillion soccer moms who daily fill the shops say otherwise. Numbers don't lie.
2) You can't call a thing a trend just because you like it. If you could, I would never stop writing articles about how free tacos, blow jobs, and going to work at noon are the new hot things.
3) A thing doesn't get to be a new trend if it has never gone away. One of the first rallying cries of the "pie is the new cupcakes" media gang-bang was an article in the New York Times dining section, published on November 16, 2010, entitled "Pie to Cupcake: Time's Up." In it, Julia Moskin essentially staked her claim to the dawning of a new trend because there were restaurants serving pie in New York and San Francisco. She wrote:
"Pie had been lurking below the radar in recent years: taking cover during the ice cream trend, perhaps waiting to see which way the macaron tide would turn. (For proof that the cupcake craze has gone too far, consider the new turkey cranberry cupcake with gravy in the batter from Yummy Cupcakes in Los Angeles.) Suddenly, New York and San Francisco are national centers of pie innovation. In Brooklyn, a pair of sisters from South Dakota are integrating sea salt and caramel into their apple pie and inventing aromatic fillings like cranberry-sage and pear-rosewater. In the East Village, at Momofuku Milk Bar, the pastry chef, Christina Tosi, has transferred the buttery, caramelized flavors of apple pie into a layer cake, with apple filling between the layers and crumbs of pie crust in the frosting."
A couple of things. One, I'm pretty sure that any grandmother in the world would punch someone for making a pear-and-rosewater pie. Mine would, and she's 98 and has never baked a pie in her life. She'd do it just on principle. Also, pie has never lurked. Pie is too proud for that. And if there was no pie in your neighborhood for the past several years, then I just feel bad for you.
Finally (and this is important), something doesn't get to be a trend JUST BECAUSE IT'S BEING DONE AT FUCKING MOMOFUKU. Awesome as that restaurant might be, it does not stand as the ultimate arbiter of taste nationwide. Go anywhere outside the five boroughs, and you will see that pie (good pie, even great pie, and not the crap pie being done to hump the zeitgeist) has been, like, the sixth food group of the American appetite forever. Along with cheeseburgers, casseroles (in the potluck church picnic style, not the French style), Twinkies, and barbecue, pie stands as one of the elemental dishes in the American canon. It is immutable, inextricable. Pie was here before you and pie will be here long after you are gone. In a million little roadside diners, truck stops, and neighborhood cafes, pie is how you know a meal is over. Recipes are guarded like blood, like breath--passed down like genetics from one generation to the next. Pie is immortal, enshrined for all time in the phrase "As American as Mom and apple pie." Something that forms one of the two defining elements of Americana does not suddenly become a trend just because someone in Gowanus or the Mission District decides to import the native brilliance and humble greatness of the pie into some place where it wasn't before.
This is flyover blindness in its most extreme form--the willful and deliberate ignorance of the existence of any place that is not New York or California, the refusal to admit that anything is actual or real until it arrives at the Port Authority terminal or gets sold from a cart on Fulton Street. For as long as there have been flour and grandmothers, pie has been a part of American cuisine--not a trend or a fad or a gimmick for stripping cash from yuppies, but a central pillar of both home cookery and the diner menu. I have had better pie drunk on a hot, still afternoon in Arkansas than will likely ever be made by someone trying to "bring pie back," because the very notion of pie ever having been gone speaks volumes of the attention being paid to anything happening outside the charmed neighborhoods of food's most elite.
So is pie the new cupcake? Hell, no. On their best day, no cupcake in the world could hold a candle to a slice of bright cherry diner pie, set on a cracked white plate and served by the hands that had made it a few hours before. Pie laughs at the notion of trend and fad. It is beyond that the way the sun is beyond a 40-watt bulb. And when all the hoopla about pies and cupcakes (and macaroons and cookies and milkshakes and god knows what else) dies down, pie will still be there for you, proud as it ever was and diminished not at all.

Is your b screw still there?
Or has it always been that way?
Yes I believe so. I'm confident in knowing how to locate the H and L screws but I'm not sure about the B screw. Although there are three similar looking screws on the derailer. Sadly it didn't come like this. Was trying to change gears and what you see in the picture happened.
Looks like the spring that supplies tension to the cage & chain got disconnected .... or something like that.
ps. Your picture is upside down.

Well you ask a very basic question. My answer assumes that you have some understanding on dérailleur arrangement, or can access the interweb and figure out stuff from looking at photos.
First thing i might do is to remove the rear wheel. Then examine it. Rim true, axle bent, spokes distorted, cog teeth not damaged. Then go to the der. You need to understand the cage position with out the wheel in place. If you can do this then you'll see if the cage's wind up is affected. Is the cage/der/hanger bent/twisted. Are any of the der's parallelogram links distorted. Next is the chain. Are any links twisted/distorted. Are any side plates pulling off their pins.
Then if all looks good (which I doubt but the single photo is hard to fully see all the aspects) remount the wheel with the der cage and chain properly configured and go through all the above again.
If you're unable to understand any of this then you might seek the advice of your LBS. Andy.
That big spring that connects the derailer to the pulleys has indeed been disconnected. I don't know what I'm saying but I believe there's a piece missing. I believe that piece is what holds the rod (you can kind of see it through that slot on the derailer) inside the spring connected to the derailer.
The wheel and the cassette/freewheel are two different parts and a wobble in one doesn't transfer to the other usually. This is exactly the reason i suggest a pro looks at the bike. Your inability to describe the detail or nuance is common and why shops are helpful. Andy.
Turn the bike upright and get a better picture, the derailleur shouldn't be hanging off of the back like it is, it appears the hanger is in the wrong location. The derailleur body should be toward the front side of the cassette.
We've got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out
The exposed spring should be in the body just "below" the spring. Clearly the retaining capability has been compromised.
My suspicion is that you will need to replace the RD as it is a low cost item. Find a Coop near you and ask for a replacement from their used bin. Most likely you will find a better RD.
1. Remove the jockey wheels so you don't have to break the chain.
2. Disconnect the cable
3. Remove the RD to take with you.
There's a transverse pin in the derailleur's P knuckle that retains the cage pivot shaft. Looks like you lost the pin allowing the shaft and spring to come out.
Eschew simplistic dogma.
It's come apart , Broken .. Go buy a new one .. it wont cost much , the one you have was from a low price group.

Husky debut for the second time
- From: National Features
- October 27, 2011
MELBOURNE band Husky are quiet achievers. Literally.
After several years together, triple j Unearthed attention for the sparse, folky History's Door in March changed everything.
They found themselves a manager, Bonnie Dalton, who also looks after Little Red, and a record label, Liberation.
"Things started to escalate after Unearthed," keyboardist Gideon Preiss says. "We had been doing everything ourselves for a while, but we couldn't be across everything any more; there was too much happening. That's a great problem to have."
The album they funded and recorded themselves, Forever So, has now been given a record-label push.
Inspired by their love of music from Joni Mitchell to Leonard Cohen, the album was recorded at a Northcote house in which singer Husky Gawenda lived.
"Most of it was recorded at night," Gawenda says. "The bungalow wasn't soundproofed. We attempted to sound-treat it; it ended up looking like a primary-school sci-fi experiment. It sounded great, but the walls were paper-thin. Our neighbours knew all the songs on the record by the end; they were very lovely about it. Luckily. They said it was nice music so they could handle it."
While it is being treated as their debut, 2008's Quiet Little Rage has been quietly airbrushed out of their biography.
"Unfortunately, that record didn't get a proper release," Gawenda says. "We didn't have a label, didn't have any money, didn't know what we were doing. We did everything ourselves, even publicity. It never really got heard.
"To call that our first album would be inaccurate; it's more like a demo. Even though we put a lot of work into it, this feels like our debut. It's a different sound, a different record. We've learnt what we wanted to do and what not to do."
For the subtle Forever So, Husky learnt the art of less is more.
"When you're recording, you can forget what you're trying to achieve with the songs and dilute it or add too many bells and whistles," Gawenda says. "Sometimes what you want in a song is space, rather than filling it up. Space can be important."
It's an ethos they're learning about live. The success of pastoral rock bands has created audiences ready to listen.
"That gentle approach to music, with the harmonies, we've been doing that for a while and that was what we grew up listening to," Gawenda says.
"Bands like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver have opened the doors for bands like us. It's good timing. Timing matters. Sometimes doing something really intimate is more engaging than a 10-piece band smashing it out. There's other ways to draw people in other than blasting their ears."

By The Gods 1 by DAZZY-PWatch
1st official strip and introducing Ra and Maat to the series. Ra was usually depicted as the king of the Ancient Egyptian gods, though he would often be combined with other gods as Ancient Egyptian religion evolved depending upon the period and location. Maat was the Goddess of truth, though some scholars see her as more of the 'personification of truth' as opposed to an actual goddess. She's going to be more of a goddess in this strip though.
For the time being I'm going to try and update a new one of these every Friday, I already have next weeks ready, but you are all going to have to wait for that.
Intro strip can be seen here - dazzy-p.deviantart.com/art/By-…
Next one is now here - dazzy-p.deviantart.com/art/By-…
Love this!

poor Ma'at
poor Ma'at
Five more minuets feels like a century....
that's my dad when i gave him a shoulder massage D:
haha XD
lol funny
Two things I love, comics, and Egyptian lore.
Cool strip idea man. I look forward to reading your next one.
Thanx, I don't think the idea is that original, but I'm going to try and write it different to what others have done.

Post details: THE CELLIST
sits in the sweaty noire
sits in the sweaty noire
of her one-bunk Hilton
oblivious to the cackles
and catcalls
of the other prisoners,
wearing a velvet dress
instead of the standard-issue
orange jumpsuit,
as if this will be a night
of suicide or escape.
Her tricep jiggles
when she begins to play
a melody
that causes even the captain
of the guard to drop
his nightstick mid-beating
and fall to his knees
and weep at its humanity.

'Straight Arrows' enhance skills, esprit de corps during tournament
June 19, 2013
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait - Soldiers of 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, vied against one another to establish the best hand-to-hand fighters in the battalion, during a Modern Army Combatives Program tournament at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, May 31-June 1.
"Straight Arrows," in weight classes ranging from light to heavyweight, took down opponents, grappled, and strove to achieve dominant positions, to earn points or forced submissions to win each bout.
Competitors embodied the "I will never quit" tenant of the Warrior Ethos throughout the tournament, said the event's coordinator, 1st Lt. Paul Wagner, communications officer, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Battalion, 42nd FA Regiment.
"Even in dire situations, many of them held out, testing their physical and mental resiliency, to fight on until the end of the mission," Wagner said. "They have stepped up to test themselves in an arena of competition that most of them had little or no experience in. I feel the soldiers have a better understanding of what they are capable of."
Wagner said the competition also brought the battalion closer as a whole.
"The camaraderie displayed during the fights was exceptional," Wagner said. "After a tough match, you would see the soldiers come together to talk about the experience, give each other praise, and end up coaching each other in later rounds."
In the months leading up to the competition, 47 "Straight Arrow" troops completed the 40-hour MACP level one course, a training regimen designed to develop realistic fighting skills, incorporating ground fighting, stand-up fighting, and take-downs into a soldier's tactical repertoire.
Pfc. Allen Rodriguez, cannon crew member, Battery B, said he enjoyed the opportunity to demonstrate his new skills to the rest of his unit.
"Learning combatives and fighting in this tournament has made me more confident, and demonstrated to my leaders that I'm a dedicated soldier," Rodriguez said. "I hope I can compete in more tournaments as the deployment continues."
While Rodriguez said he considers his ability to wiggle out of a tight spot his greatest strength as a fighter, Sgt. Jacob Newell said his strongest asset is his mind.
Defeating an opponent hand-to-hand has as much to do with strategy and mental agility as it does with strength and speed, said Newell, cannon crew member, Battery A, who won the cruiserweight class tournament.
"Physically it all comes down to heart, but one of my biggest challenges is to slow down and think," Newell said. "It's like a game of chess; mentally you have to be three or four moves ahead of your opponent."
Newell said he prepared for the competition by training with larger and more experienced fighters.
"My training partners could wipe the floor with me, but they were always willing to help me learn new moves or how to read and counter my opponents," he said. "It all comes down to training."

HHS Drama to present 'Jingle Bell Mystery'Published 11:46am Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Hartselle High Drama presents "The Jingle Bell Mystery" in the Hartselle High School Auditorium, Sat., Dec. 14, at 7 p.m. Admission is $3. HCS administration, faculty and staff can get in free.
Lillian (Amberly Anderson) and Molly (Brooke Speegle), the daughters of the late Marshall Cobden, along with their family and friends, gather back at their father's home on Christmas Eve one year after his death. As stipulated in Mr. Cobden's will, the last piece of their inheritance — one million dollars in cash — will go to the daughter who exhibits the most Christmas spirit in the next 24 hours. Those around them — including Lillian's husband (Steven Cleek), Molly's friends (Krislyn Wood & Tylar Pitt), a local reporter (Sara Winton), the gardener (Rena Walker), the maid (Raegan Howard) and the butler (Chris Anderson) — are to be the judges. But when the lawyer (Ada Pate-Kelley) is knocked out and the money disappears, the guests scramble for answers. Who took the cash? Lillian, the mean, bankrupt sister? Alice, the mysterious gardener with the nine-year-old daughter (Eden Bolan)? Spencer, the butler with the evil laugh? Twists and turns abound until the very end when a lesson is learned and a life is changed… forever.
The backstage, lighting, sound, costumes and set design will be done by John Duncan, Brooke Eaton, Sarah Gurganious, Casey Henderson, Dakota Hill, Quinten Keliinoi, Ariel Richey and Landon Terry.

Ours is a task of describing the facts of the two religions subject to comparison, so organizing these facts as to permit comparison both explicit and otherwise. We begin with the basics: the law of Judaism, the law of Islam, and where we are likely to locate it.
Both Judaism and Islam present themselves as traditional religions. In other words, they are religions that receive revelation from God through prophets and hand on that revealed truth from generation to generation. "Tradition," then, means that which is handed on out of the past; a traditional religion identifies a particular point at which, in the past, a truth was set forth to be preserved and handed on for generations to come, to serve as authority for all time. A traditional religion attributes to God the origin of such an enduring truth, and Judaism and Islam concur that God gives truth through prophets, men chosen for that purpose. Both agree, moreover, that God's revelation takes the form of specific, verbal statements; God reveals not only Himself but what He wants from human beings. Then the tradition of Judaism or of Islam addresses not only God's word, but God's exact words, sentences formulated in a particular language by God for the prophet to hand on ultimately to us.
When, therefore, a Judaic religious authority or rabbi wants to find the law, in the classical statement of Judaism he consults the record of the tradition, written and oral, of God's revelation to Moses at Sinai. Hence the word "tradition" carries a heavy apologetic charge. The law is represented, from start to finish, as a seamless, cogent, and harmonious statement of God's will, to be located in the Torah. The written tradition ("the Torah in writing") is set forth in the Hebrew scriptures, particularly in the Pentateuch ("Five Books of Moses"), and, within the Pentateuch, in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The oral tradition ("the Torah in memory") is ultimately preserved in a variety of documents that reached closure in the

Opening The Old Testament
Speculators or Witnesses? Reflections on Ascension Sunday
And so it is with the event of the ascension of Jesus. As the Messiah floats above them, ready to be drawn upward into a cloud on the way to heaven, he warns the assembled apostles not to leave Jerusalem, the center of all divine activity for Luke, but await the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which will follow, as promised, John's earlier baptism by water. To their question about the possibility that at last the "kingdom of Israel" is about to be restored, Jesus retorts tartly, "The times and the seasons that the father has reserved to his own authority are not yours to know" (Acts 1:7). Even after the resurrection it is apparent that the earliest followers of the faith are in danger of asking the wrong questions! God has God's own time for restorations, says Jesus. We have other work to do, as will now be made clear.
Jesus then gives them, and us, our marching orders. "You will receive a power from the Holy Spirit, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). And Luke follows that general geographical outline as he tells his series of dramatic tales, beginning with the Spirit's fall in Jerusalem (Acts 2) and ending with Paul's open preaching in Rome (Acts 28), the "end of the earth" of the Roman world in which Luke lives.
But do they, or we, head off to fulfill the command? Hardly! We are too enamored of the ascending Jesus, our necks strained as we peer upward, hoping for a further sign, for a magic act, for a cloud spelling out "I love you." Suddenly, two men "stood near them." Just as in the gospel where two men attempt to explain to the women who are looking for Jesus' dead body that they are looking in the wrong place, since living beings are not to be found in graveyards, so now two men tell the stiff-necked (in more ways than one!) apostles that their eyes are not looking in the right place. "Why do you stand looking into heaven?" Did you not pay attention to him just a few moments ago? He said, 'Go,' and you are rooted on this spot, looking longingly for some further word from him. He will come back in the same way that he went, but you need ask no further questions about when, they imply. "When" is simply not the right question to ask.
Why in heaven's name (I mean that quite literally!) do so many Christians then spend vast amounts of time, inordinate amounts of energy, immoderate amounts of speculation, asking precisely that very question? We have been asked to be "his witnesses" to the world, not his calculators for his return. It remains a thorough mystery to me why this is so, and has been so throughout Christian history.
But I suppose I do know the answer. It is far safer, far less demanding, to be a speculator than a witness. Speculators write books of calculations, hold seminars that attract thousands, rake in untold piles of loot, while prognosticating a certain time for Jesus' return. Witnesses, on the other hand, just witness to the truth of the gospel: the truth of justice for the whole world, the love of enemies, and the care for the marginalized and outcast. As Acts 1 makes so clear, the world needs far fewer speculators and far more witnesses.
