2012 August 5: Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, he shooter thought they were Muslim, but I'm sure there were many who said close enough. You should also research before offering opinions as just from 2010 alone there has been around 20 domestic terrorist attacks on US soil of which the vast majority are perpetuated by Christians. Ken

To join in a little late- I have a suspicion that ISIS is counting on anti-Muslim xenophobia to make their case against the West even stronger. What I fear will happen is a large scale reactionary aggression toward all Muslims based on fear created by actions of extremists radicals. Sadly, this to me seems the only logical conclusion to continued acts of seemingly random and well orchestrated violence- at least the logic of governments. You've now peed in the proverbial breakfast flakes of Russia and France which will increase violence in the Middle East, leading to more terrorist events in the West, and so on ad infinitum. This is the easiest way to both demoralize the enemy as well as further radicalize currently moderate Muslims- poking the skunk so to speak. I agree that the game from our end needs to be limited to special ops groups surgically and precisely taking out small numbers of combatants- the worst thing anyone could do is to mount full scale bombings or a large occupying war effort as these would effectively marginalize the otherwise peaceful people of the region and seal the deal for ISIS in gaining more power. I also agree that the Middle Eastern nations need to take greater responsibility in fighting these groups- not because of a responsibility to self-police, but because it would help in lessening the credibility of ISIS in using "The West" as a common enemy and recruiting tool. I do not see any of this ending well- short term solutions are decidedly short sighted and in the electronic era it's a now or never mentality.

Some saying that the bezel color still far from the gen. But I find is good enough. Date font compare to a gen.

Yeah. Noob V5

For those of you that know me, you know I'm not a huge fan of the current version of the TC cases. But with a little work, they are acceptable for an early 16610 or 16800 build. But the challenge is getting the lugholes drilled properly. I've seen some very bad efforts at lughole drilling in a non-lughole case and as such, (next to bevels) is one of the tougher mods to do right. Here's an example of a case I recently worked on for an early 16610 build. Right after drilling: Even at high speed, burrs will inevitably build up around the hole. After a light grinding and repolishing. Along with modest bevel action: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^ hey no worries... I used a Seagull. ST2130 which is a 2824-2 clone. So Yuki's ETA hands fitted without any adjustment. I sourced this one from eBay for convenience but Cousins UK has them and I'm sure there are many sources worldwide. Price I can't recall - I think about a third of the price of cheapest ETA that I could find (new).

I think that this discussion is remarkably civil, considering some of the other forums that I venture onto.

The world has changed a lot since 2005........ Not sure of your point and how it relates to the world TODAY.

I was in the Navy for more than 23 years, there during Beruit, Gulf War I/II, Sharp Edge, Enduring Freedom, Provide Promise Promise, Provide Comfort etc. been IA'd to Iraq in my 22nd year and been deployed more than 300 days to the Middle East without seeing my family and I'll tell you this is never going to end. It's a big shit sandwich. I hold no ill will towards anyone, I respect all cultures but there is no way to fix this with the current leadership the US has in the Whitehouse. When our government considers that global warming is more of a threat than radical Islam, that's a problem. When the Pope wags a finger at the brutality that is going on, that's a problem. When the First Lady dons a red dress and dances the night away two days after the killings in Paris, that's a problem. The US must take the lead, but unfortunately we won't. I've been living in Europe for more than 10 years partly because I have lost faith in my country. I just hope the world can find a solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any more news on this? A friend just asked me to source a Hulk for him. If this is not out yet, I assume the latest Noob is the best one then?

Anyone want to do a quick up and down over it - here's my gen.
