Haley Vetoes HPV Bill
The move would appear to be a reversal of her previous stand on the issue.
On Tuesday, Gov. Nikki Haley vetoed a bill that would have given all seventh-graders in the state a free vaccine of the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, which has been linked to cervical cancer.
According to the bill, parents would have been given the ability to opt-out of the injection. The HPV virus is contracted primarily through sexual contact and critics of the vaccine have said that injecting middle-school aged girls with the virus would sexualize them at too young an age.
During the 2012 GOP Presidential Michele Bachmann inaccurately linked the vaccine to mental retardation.
But in a statement quoted in the Charleston Post and Courier (subscription required), Haley did not bring up any health concerns. The bill is a "precursor to another taxpayer-funded health care mandate," she said.
The bill, sponsored by Bamberg Democrat Bakari Sellers, received bi-partisan support, passing 40-2 in the Senate during debate and 63-40 in the House.
While in the legislature in 2007, Haley co-sponsored a bill that would have mandated the vaccine.
In a statement to the media after the veto, Sellers said:
"With this veto, Nikki Haley has confirmed everyone's suspicions that she puts her own selfish political ambitions ahead of the people of South Carolina. This bill had bi-partisan support and gives optional education and preventative vaccines to adolescents in an effort to thwart cervical cancer. This is a common sense approach to a very serious problem. To call this measure unnecessary is demeaning and insulting to the heroic women who fight this cancer everyday. I am deeply disappointed that politics once again has prevailed over women's health."
The issue may not be dead, however, as the House and Senate have shown a willingness to override Haley's vetoes, as they did last year when she attempted to defund ETV.

The HPV vaccine is mandatory before a female can attend a state college. USC for example.
8:48 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
This woman's personal beliefs or ambitions are not based on what is good for the people of this state but on what she hopes will further her political career. I hope the people who voted for this nut are beginning to see this.
Dr. John
9:38 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
If you want to take your 7th grade daughter to her doctor and get the vaccine you are welcome to do it. If you think your daughter has a risk of contracting the disease by being sexually active then get her the vaccine. Just don't make me pay for it. The vaccine has not been outlawed. It is just not "free". Each dose costs about $125 and three doses are required ($375). For that much money we should develop a vaccine against liberalism.....it would be worth every penny..
9:44 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Why should people who want their daughter to go to college be forced to pay for this since it is mandatory? The state made this vaccine mandatory for a young woman to attend college, the state should have to pay for it.
Shawn Drury
9:47 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Dr. John, I'm curious...what about the girls who don't have someone who can afford the $375?
9:49 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Also, let me guess, you are also one of those staunch republicants who are against a national healthcare plan that would provide healthcare to those who cannot afford insurance.
Mary Anne Soupy
9:56 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
What happens when a whole generation of young girls grows up to find that this vaccine has damaged their ability to become mothers or produces birth defects? The vaccine is still an unknown. Also, did anyone ask how much Sellers was paid by the drug company, which has been lobbying hard across the US to get tax payers to pay them for their drug. The drug company has spent millions trying to get this past state legislatures. Thank God for Nikki Haley.
Shawn Drury
10:55 pm on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Mary Anne,
I'm not doctor and I'm not about to speak to the long-terms side effects of the HPV vaccine, the most common of which is Gardasil. I do know that the National Cancer Institute has said that if every girl was inoculated the instances of cervical cancer would be reduced by two-thirds.
I can speak to Mr. Sellers' campaign contributions since they are public information (http://apps.sc.gov/PublicReporting/IndividualReports.aspx). He has run for office three times since first being elected in 2006. He has received donations from a wide cross-section of industries including health care, retail, real estate, insurance and so on. This is not uncommon. He also received $250 from the drug company Pfizer in 2008. However, the maker of Gardasil is Merck.
If Gov. Haley expressed any concerns about the long-term side effects of the HPV vaccine either after she vetoed this bill or co-sponsored a similar bill in 2007, she, to my knowledge, has not made them public. Whatever the governor's motivations might be about HPV and the vaccine, long-terms side effects do not appear to be among the main reasons for Tuesday's veto.
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Making this vaccine mandatory in order to attend a public higher education institution in this state is absurd, but if that is the case, then yes, the state should pay for the vaccine. If the intention is to protect the population at large, then let the state provide it. If it is for the individual, then it should not be mandatory.
2:48 am on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Maybe the gov. knows about the toxicity levels in SC and decided that tax dollars should go for future ills from all the chemicals that are allowed to be made/burned/stored in the state. If I had a daughter I would have paid for her to have the vaccine just like we paid for our son to have a vaccine to avoid chicken pox. If you can prevent something WHY NOT do it?

"On Tuesday, Gov. Nikki Haley vetoed a bill that would have given all seventh-graders in the state a free vaccine of the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, which has been linked to cervical cancer" "Free vaccine" REALLY!!!! Nothing is free!! When are people going to realize this tidbit of information.
11:15 am on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
According to the USC website, the only two vaccines listed are the MMR and the Meningitis Vaccine as being required. They probably strongly urge the HPV virus, because of the protection it provides for young women.

I have read many of the comments posted and some of you have made good points, but the scariest thing of all is so many of you want a "nanny government" which makes decisions for you and dictates what you must do with your children, whether you approve or not. My children are adults now and make their own decisions, but I can't imagine the state and school system getting involved in something so personal. Yes, somethings should still be private!! The health care bill proposed by the current president is nothing but a nanny care bill which is not better than what we have already which definitely needs to be better managed. The working class is dwindling and we are the ones paying the bills for the people who think everything should be free for them. With 42 cents owed of every $1.00, the government deficit has to be addressed, yet the current President still keeps buying votes with our treasury by promising freebies .........FREEDOM IS NOT FREE! Someone pays!! Governor Haley....keep bringing those great jobs to South Carolina!!
1:13 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
I have read ALL the comments posted and not one person said they wanted a "nanny government".
You can't imagine public schools getting involved in public health? Kids have had to have various vaccinations to attend public schools in all 50 states for decades.
The health care law (not bill) passed (not proposed) by all three components of the legislature (not just the executive) of the U.S. government is not nanny care. Its purpose is that people HAVE access to health care. You don't have to use it.
Yeah Haley, keep bringing those lowest wages in the union to SC. Way to go, you and your parties policies have U.S. Inc about a half a step above China! http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0647.pdf
2:22 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
The health Care law, PAACA has cost children their insurance across the land not helped. Since it mandated that an insurance carrier give a child a policy regardless of their health made carriers cancel all of the policies where nobody can insure a child under 18 unless they are on their parents policy. Guess they never thought that would happen! Oh by the way, everyone has healthcare in this country! You may not have health insurance but you have health care! There is a huge difference! Get your facts straight - and again NOTHING is FREE!
2:41 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
You should provide data when you make outrageous statements. Otherwise people will just think you're a right wing nutjob tightening his foil helmet in his Obamabunker. And if what you say IS true, are you saying that the law is wrong, and not the insurance companies? Because a loophole or a technicality exists doesn't mean it should be used, does it?
I have health insurance and I don't have the health care doctors have prescribed.
I didn't say it provided access to healthcare, I said it's purpose was. I agree it's a crappy law, but because it puts people more interested in profit than they are in health in the middle. Mandating insurance only adds to the overhead of what is a basic and essential human right, health. We aren't wolves in a pack, most of us anyway.
I've got my facts straight. Why don't you gather a fact, just one, and bring it back to us.
Lots and lots of things are free.
Dr. Felix T. Katz
3:10 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
"you may not have health insurance but you have health care" "NOTHING IS FREE" In order to have "health care" without health insurance means using the ER at a county hospital which is the MOST COSTLY health care available and you're right IT'S NOT FREE. We all pay for it.
Dr. Felix T. Katz
3:26 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Also; many women contract HPV from their husbands AFTER they are married. This is because the men are not aware that they are infected. Yes, the vaccine is available for boys/men as well and they should also be vaccinated. This is for the good of whole not the individual. Please get educated about this virus before more young men and women die needlessly!
4:08 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Pauline, South Carolina, I was in elementary school and we stood in lines while a nurse gave us all shots. This was late sixties early seventies. The state must have said do it because I know I saw my entire class get it and not one was left out. My parents did what the government said because most of the time they know whats best for the children who will in the future be voters like I am now. My parents loved Fritz Hollings btw.
DR Feelgood
6:50 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
The vaccine has no causal associations with adverse events with the exception of syncope ( fainting) . The CDC monitors this through VAERS which is a passive system. The fact is.. this vaccine is controversial because of one issue ..SEX. Parents dont want to admit that their children are or will become sexually active. All should check the latest youth risk behavior survey which shows that SC youth are very engaged in sexual activity before the age of 13. The states tend to take the high road in mandating other vaccines for school entry such as TDAP The HPV vaccine prevents cancers in both sexes . Your daughters may not be sexually active but you cant ever guarantee that when they do choose a partner that the male has had the same standards. I will almost gurantee he wont be vaccinated because male immunization rates havent even reached 2 % for the country.This bill wasnt even mandatin the vaccine in schools It was trying to mandate HPV education. For a vcacine that has been shown to effectively prevent cancers there is so much opoostion based on uneducated fears , myths, assumptions, driven by antivaccine and poltical motives .as a parent, you had the opportunity to get the vaccine and you choose not to have your kids vaccinated,,what if they are one of 10,000 victims of cervical cancer or 5400 victims of anal cancer Their lifetime risk of acquiring HPV is 80%. http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/
Dr. Felix T. Katz
8:34 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Thank you Dr. Feelgood. Your information is right on,so well stated and so needed. The governor has,sadly, made a terrible decision for the youth of our state. It's curious that she was for this before she was against it. What changed? My heart goes out to those parents that cannot afford this vaccine for their children.
John H
10:37 pm on Wednesday, June 20, 2012
The PPACA will cover the HPV vaccine for those that do not currently have insurance along with many insurance carriers that already provide it and under the new law will continue. HSS may mandate that all will be covered anyway.
If this goes back to the legislature and it is passed over the veto, won't South Carolina taxpayers be paying for a service that will be covered by insurance at full implementation?
Just asking a question.

The Mother of All Relationships by Beth K. Vogt
"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." ~W. H. Auden, poet
Motherhood is about relationship.
Please don't skim over those four words with a cursory, "I know that!" We load the concept of motherhood down with so many things – a gazillion dos and don'ts, shoulds and shouldn'ts … you know, expectations. In the midst of all the doing, we lose sight of why we're moms.
Too often I hear moms of teens say "I can't wait until my child is 18 and out of the house!" I'm all for our children becoming independent young adults. But is our only mom-goal to wave goodbye to our sons and daughters once they've earned a high school diploma?
I worked at developing a relationship with my now-adult-children when they were younger. Worked at it. Why else did I read them their favorite books? Walk them to the park? Snuggle with them? Sing them songs? Listen to them as they whispered their dreams – and their fears? Motherhood is not a spectator sport. Oh, sure, I sat on the sidelines and watched them play sports. But even then I was intentional, showing them love by being there for both wins and losses.
When I made a mistake as a mom – and I made my fair share – I asked forgiveness and tried again. Motherhood stretched my heart past the limits of my wants and needs to the point of considering others – my children – more important than myself.
Effort. Commitment. Availability. Forgiveness. All qualities of a relationship, aren't they? If I pursued relationships with my son and daughters in the toddler and pre-teen years, why would I abandon them once they became teenagers?
Was it always easy to stay connected with my teens? No. Sometimes I felt like I was talking into dead air. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I knew what I had, what I wanted to maintain and what I wanted to preserve for the future: relationships.
Do you want to protect your relationship with your child? Do this one thing: Laugh with them. I bet you thought I was going to suggest praying for them. There's that too. I do not discount the value of prayer. However, during the pre-teen and teen years, when the hormones are flowing and the angst is high, laughter is the great diffuser. It's difficult to stay mad at someone when you're laughing with them. Play card games and board games like Uno or Balderdash and What's Yours Like?, which always promote raucous good times in my family. Watch the old Dick Van Dyke TV shows or whatever tickles your family's funny bone.
My relationship with my children started the day they were born. I haven't let anything – least of all the adolescent years – steal those relationships away from me.

SYMPLA is a professional modular video rig system that extends and complements new cameras, allows for stable support and framing, supports essential accessories features, offering versatility and high performance as well as comfort, safety and much simpler and faster set up than existing rigs.
SYMPLA is built for flexibility and speed, so you can change anything and everything easily and quickly: hand grip positions, counterbalance, camera body, lens, accessories, filters, light-shielding angle; shoulder-supported, hand-held, or tripod/monopod-mounted… whatever you need to get the shot, the second you need it.
SYMPLA is quick to fine-tune, so even when you need to make changes to your rig on-location and mid-shoot, SYMPLA's minimal locks and tool-free adjusters will let you get back to shooting quickly.
Thanks to our revolutionary camera remotes which fit the rig handgrips, SYMPLA allows precise fingertip control of framing and camera functions without losing the grip position and keeping your eyes on the frame, helping you capture stable, usable, creative footage. And SYMPLA can quickly be extended: whether you start from one of our kits, or from single components, you can build the exact rig you need for the shot, as soon as you need it.

Trophy Post
Over the last several years, the Relay for Life campaign has taken off.
When I lived in Virginia, it was a huge event that I helped cover whilst working at Cable 12.
The occasion unites a community that rallies around one cause – fighting for a cure for cancer.
Life is different for me now that I am no longer working at a camp.
Ever since I started a business with a dear friend, I am able to be more active in the community.
One way I was able to get involved was with the Relay for Life for the greater Travelers Rest area. Bottlecap (my business) was able to lend support by participating in the Paint the Town Purple campaign.
We showed our support by temporarily changing our logo as you can see below.
Those that participated in helping paint the town purple were entered into a contest and judged by a small panel.
The winner was chosen based upon certain criteria and were awarded the Spirit Award.
I had made some suggestions for a creative trophy, and then very quickly given the task of developing said trophy.
In trying to capture the essence of the event and the area, I wanted to do something unique.
Paint brush
High gloss latex paint
Reclaimed barn wood
A Jenga piece
Industrial glue
A hanging thingy for the back
Below is the abridged version of the process…
…and where it currently rests (The Forest Coffeehouse was the recipient of the award).
So congratulations to my super-wonderful friends at The Forest, and well done to the folks involved in our area's Relay for Life event.
Do you have a cool Relay for Life event in your area?
What are some creative things surrounding the promotion of the event as well as the all-night-long relay itself?

PITTSBURGH, PA - APRIL 25: James McDonald #53 of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitches against the Colorado Rockies during the first game of a doubleheader at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Through six innings against the Rockies, Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander James McDonald has not allowed a hit.
McDonald entered Wednesday afternoon without a win, despite posting a 3.45 in three starts. Oddly, McDonald had struck out only six batters in 15⅔ innings. Against the Rockies, though, he's recorded six strikeouts (along with two walks) in his first six innings.
In fact, McDonald finished off the top of the sixth by striking out Tyler Colvin.
He's thrown 80 pitches, just eight short of his season high. And he never threw more than 109 pitches in a game last season. So unless he's just a bit more economical in the next inning or two, nine innings might be a stretch.
Another problem: the Pirates haven't scored yet, as Colorado's Juan Nicasio is pitching a shutout of his own. Jose Tabata didn't help in the bottom of the sixth, leading off with a base hit but getting thrown out trying to stretch his single into a double.

We just unpacked a shipment of the Christian Cabuay x WIP Caps collab fitted. Called the 'Ka' cap, this collaboration is an overseas effort spanning from San Francisco USA. The name 'Ka' comes from the letter 'I' looking character from the BayBayin script. It's the traditional pre-Spanish era Philippine writing system. The front of the cap has this 'Ka' script over a crossed Calligraphy brush and a Filipino Native sword called the 'Maguindanao Kris'.
Expect to see the 'Ka' cap in our online store and at our retail partners real soon!

Interview with Christian Cabuay of Baybayin.com
Today's visitor was Mista Blaze from Blaz N Kane. He dropped by to get wipped. BNK has that joint with Pow Chavez called 'Fly Away'. I hear the track got picked-up by a major record label. Props!

Still recovering from the ultra wicked B-Side weekend. Let's do the math. DO OVER Manila + IRIE SUNDAY Dancehall Bashment ÷ B-Side = √EPIC³. And the Rasta Soulja knit cap had a pretty good kick-off as well. Just Check back in a couple of days as we'll be posting photos and videos real soon. There's loads of B-roll stuff so we'll post those at the revived Nakayama blog.
In the meantime, here's another B-Side treat for the kids.
B-Side presents: A special film screening of 'BEATS, RHYMES & LIFE: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest'.
Event info here
'BEATS, RHYMES & LIFE: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest' is the award winning documentary by actor/director Michael Rapaport The film documents the back ground story as well as the current situation of A Tribe Called Quest. Clearly one of the most influential hip hop group of all time. This is true for us at WIP Caps as we grew-up listening to these guys throughout Middle School and High School.
Anyway, don't miss out on this opportunity to watch it at B-Side. Good luck to you if you're hoping to watch it at your favorite cinemas out here in Manila.
Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest (2011) Movie Trailer HD

Leaving you with one of my choice Tribe tracks.
Introducing! the Rasta Souljah reversible knit cap. We've taken the classic army knit cap and added our twist to it, or as we say in the office, we've wipped it!
Rasta Souljah comes in 4 colors. Khaki, Black, Olive and Dark Navy. There is no doubt this plays to the tune of our Reggae/Rasta heads out there. I mean the name alone is a dead give away. However, we haven't forgeten the other folks. Flip the cap inside out and you will get the same look minus the embroidery in the front. Perfect for those who want to rock a clean look. Check out the video for a quick demo.
Stay tuned for further announcements on the release dates for these bad boys. Better yet, come to IRIE SUNDAY 'DANCEHALL NIGHT' on the 24th for a special surprise. We got something cooked-up for the ladies who will be coming to rock the dance floor.

July 14 was Ian's birthday. Instead of throwing a massive party for himself, he's been doing this thing where he celebrates by giving to the less fortunate. Something we can all aspire to do whenever we can. The target for the day's deed were the kids of the Gawad Kalinga village in Smokey Mountain. Smokey Mountain is basically a huge trash dump in Manila city that is surrounded by slums. Imagine heaps and heaps of land made of smoldering trash.
Through the GK foundation and help from various entities, the community has been rehabilitated and the kids enjoy various sports programs. We met the kids that comprise the Baseball, Softball, Frisbee and Soccer teams.
Ian giving some words of encouragement to the eager young athletes
Each kid got a box lunch and a unreleased earlier version of the Hunter on the Storm cap.
Angelo, Mookie(Houston TX.) and MJ(San Francisco, CA.) pitched in. Mookie is actually a celebrity in his own rights for being on VH1's Motormouth. I'm digging through the Internet for the clip.

About The DO-OVER:
In the summer of 2005, Chris Haycock, Jamie Strong and Aloe Blacc set out to offer something different and unique to Los Angeles. We wanted to create a day that would integrate the city racially, socio-economically, and most importantly, musically. Together we imagined an event where all styles and smiles could be brought together by the force of quality music. As we celebrate our 7th Year Anniversary, we realize that the "little-idea-that-could" has morphed into something bigger -- much beyond our wildest expectations. It has become a party FOR THE PEOPLE and BY THE PEOPLE featuring your favorite DJs and their favorite DJs who remain a complete mystery week in and week out. People come to Do Over for the music, the friends, the vibe and the surprises. It is more than just a party. For many, Do Over is a way of life and an outlet to celebrate originality. From May through October, black, white, brown, gay, straight, rich and poor come together each and every Sunday to DO their weekend all OVER and get down to the sounds of hip-hop, funk, house, disco, rock, jazz, reggae, latin and beyond.

Shortkut at IRIE SUNDAY 9.19.2010
Ever since we started on this adventure called WIP Caps, we've always had our meetings on Wednesdays. Dab smack middle of the week when the busy days have peaked and the weekend is within reach. We've come along way with this routine but we're more professional now and pretty much 0% alcohol. Been a while since I've had a Lapad & Coke.
We've got a new face this week. Banj is our new PR/Marketing guy. This is us doing a quick brief before he flies back to New York for a month.
Heeeeeey! You sank my battle ship!
A little tour around the office and we land at at the processing room. This is where everything happens, Quality Control, Tagging and packing you name it.
And holding it down is Gim. He's been with the team for about a year and a half now. A real asset to the company and is passionate about the products we churn out. Chances are the cap on your head has gone thru Gim's capable hands and braided goatee.
At this point, we'll pause for a quick announcement. I've said the Llanera's Skull will be available this week. Change of plans, we're pushing it back another week. We've recently singed-on another retail partner store and to commemorate, we'll be doing the Llanera Skull Kick-off at that shop next week. Keep checking back for announcement on the name and location of the shop.
Rex D also dropped by to get his. Keep an eye out for his viral videos and his new mixtape.
Originally scheduled to be released on June 12 Philippine Independence day, The Llanera Skull has finally arrived and will be available this week. Just giving you excite bikes a heads up but we'll make a formal announcement when its up in the store.
Last Saturday was our 'W' snapback and Lords fitteds launch at Chill Sessions (by Body Rock). Big-up to all the people that came out to kick it and support your local premium head wear brand. Good times meeting new friends, catching-up with oldies and Retail buddies. Anyway, here are some of the screened photos that our Legal department deemed OK and safe for publishing. Sorry kids, you just had to be there to understand exactly how much you missed out on.
DJ Rye brought a hefty serving of the Golden Age
Christel(UNSCHLD/CommuneMNL) and *cough!*cough!*. Sorry girl, the old man is bad with names
Rocking the MNL Hemp is B-Rock, Switch of Miscellaneous sporting the 'W' snapback ......aaaaaand Tollo with absolutely nothing to show for. peace papi!
What makes Chill Sessions different is, kids are totally welcome to play. They got tables setup with coloring and drawing and other cool stuff for the kids to do.
Here we have the man behind Chill Sessions and other Body Rock productions. Banj also just recently signed a multi-million dollar deal with WIP Caps as a Marketing consultant.
Also present was his better half and our long time friend Sarah and Kaya the wonder kid.
Quick bite. Ikkei's first time at Charlie's so he went all in and did the Double Angus with cheese. He gave it a 4 out of 5 blunts.
Mav(WIP Caps Marketing/Video and Motion Graphics) was breaking necks all night long with the still unreleased Ochos Locos fitted. Another anticipated Wasteland release.
Back on Deck, this time at We Legendary. Ian (WIP Caps President and GM) tagged some friends along. Addi, Jamie and wife Nichole.
We Legendary Ronac store manager Mhoi and Jojo aka KingKrux31
We Legendary is leading the independent skate scene here in Manila (and in Davao) bar none. WIP owes a lot of its growth and success to shops like WL. And the architect of it all is Mark(aka Specks). This dude is non-stop grind all the time but manages to not show it. Always humble and willing to help.
Ian aka Nate x Mark aka Specks
Drop by We Legendary (Ronac Center) to see the worlds largest pair of sneakers. Ask Mhoi for assistance and he will gladly open the box for you.
The Lords fitted is the 2nd installment(of 8) of our 'The Wasteland' series. The series is based on a fictional backdrop called The Wasteland. It was inspired by the gang related icons of the 1970 cult film The Warriors, where outlaws and gangs ruled New York City.
The Lords cap is a solid all black polyester cap with a Kelly Green underbill. The front logo is a play on the classic LA/Oakland Raiders logo. The iconic shield silhouette remains while the swords are replaced with Celtic swords and the WIP crown. As with all the other caps in the Wasteland series, we feature a secondary logo in the rear. The shield with an Old English 'L'.
W snapback is inspired by the classic Collegiate/Varsity look. The cap is a two-tone Light Grey dome with all Black Visor. The 'W' logo is done in Black and White Letterman style and stands for WIP.
Both the Lords and W caps are available now at select WIP Stockists and will be available at HatClub.com in a few weeks.

Never stay here. Worst experience of my life. Awful service. Locked out at night and have to wait outside on the road at least 5-10 minutes for someone to move a BED/TRASHCAN out of the door's way and unlock it. Mold ALL over ceilings. Smells absolutely terrible (like mold and alcohol). Downgraded and refused to refund money. End of the... More

A Gulf Breeze cycling enthusiast was killed on the last leg of his bike across America fundraiser Wednesday.

Six area fire stations including Gulf Breeze, Midway, Holley-Navarre, Navarre Beach, U.S. Air Force and Florosa, donated their time – and equipment for display – at the second annual Fall Fire Prevention Festival and Chili Cook-off at Navarre Park Saturday.
A newly-formed search and rescue group may be causing more heartache than help, according to county officials.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff's deputies are still looking for a person they believe is responsible for nearly a half dozen robberies this month alone.
The first robbery occurred nearly a month ago, when thieves broke into the Veterans of Foreign Wars post on the Okaloosa County/Santa Rosa County line.
Just two weeks later, T.C.'s Front Porch, a popular local eatery, and the Navarre American Legion were hit.
For more on this story, check out the Sept. 30 edition of the Navarre Press, or subscribe online.
A Fort Walton Beach man was sentenced to life in state prison for his part in a standoff with Santa Rosa County Sheriff's deputies in 2007.
A Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Deputy is OK after flipping his patrol car Sunday night.
Deputy Brad Baney, 27, was en route to an armed disturbance around 11:50 p.m. Sunday when his car hydroplaned and spun out of control, landing upside down on the shoulder of U.S. Highway 98.
According to a report issued by the Florida Highway Patrol, Baney's vehicle was in "emergency operating mode" when it struck a palm tree, skidded over a pool of standing water and overturned.

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Field Notes: Louisville 2013
All photos by J. Dunn
"I can honestly say, I've never raced anything like that before. The sound and amount of people cheering for me was what kept me going."
– Gabby Day, Rapha-FOCUS
The thing most foreign racers and spectators commented on at the World Cyclocross Championships in Louisville, Kentucky last week, was the noise. A wall of sound that accompanied riders through the slippery corners, sand and slick run-ups. Kentucky has earned its place in the cyclocross hall of fame, first for being the only location outside of Europe to host the 'Worlds' and secondly, for its noise. Cyclocross in the US has a curious reputation, especially when held up against its European counterparts. There's a misconception that we don't take our cyclocross as seriously as they do in the cross motherland.
The Belgians have always been the toughest critics of US cross. However, it should be noted that this criticism is based mostly on our race results in that country. It will come as no surprise that the home crowds last weekend wished to push the Belgians (and other European racers) out of their comfort zones and give the US riders a fighting chance. OK, so we can't win everything, even by bringing the battle into our own backyard, but we can still go out of our way to make a good show of it, to be the best sporting neighbours we can be. As soon as the guns went off, we all just became crazed, screaming fans, some of us literally foaming at the mouth.
Chants and shouts would vary from lap to lap. Sometimes, a distinct "USA, USA" was all that could be heard. At other times, the steady crescendo of fans shouting at maximum volume followed the front of the race around the course like a wave.
"This isn't what we expected would happen."
– Belgian race fan at the bar
There were a good number of Belgian spectators at the hotel bar later that night (and all the next day) who were more than excited to talk to anyone about their trip and reasons for coming to watch the races in the US.
"Sure, we knew that Sven Nys would probably win, but we didn't know that there would be so many people here watching. That it would be so loud."
It was a sentiment that was echoed again and again, by racer and spectator alike. But, the noise wasn't the only thing going on last weekend. To get caught up in only the Elite racing would be like trying to eat your dessert first. The fine people of the bicycle industry all banded together to make the weekend more than just another weekend of bicycle racing. This is where we can let our true community shine when it comes to the world stage.
For starters, there was a single-speed race in the dark of the night and the Belgian TV commentators had no idea what to make of it. To complement this show of homegrown culture, the Louisville Slugger factory teamed up with Oakley and opened their doors to some of the athletes and created a hide and seek baseball-bat-hunt around the city. There were Buffalo Trace bourbon distillery tours and more than a few fantastic meals in Louisville's bustling restaurant scene (treat yourself to Rye if you are in the area). Component manufacturer Chris King hosted a night at local bicycle boutique On Your Left Cycles. And there was also the awesome Grimpeur Bros pop up coffee shop inside a hotel room to get your caffeine fix before the start of the race. Plus, if you have ever had the desire to see the best cross riders in the world waiting in line for a 'foam party' (there was no foam) then Louisville was the place to be.
In fact, it seemed that everyone in the US bicycle industry was on hand to celebrate the occasion and every fan that says they love the sport more than anything put their money in the right spot to make it happen. The people that are behind cyclocross — the ones who pull the course tape themselves and re-landscape the local park down the street. Racers who pin numbers on their friends and always wait around to see every race. They all came out to make the UCI World Championships in Louisville Kentucky the momentous occasion that it was.

thanks for mentioning the Raleigh Singlespeed Cyclocross Derby. You're totally right. The Belgians were completely at a loss, but were fantastic people to get to meet. Renaat Shotte from Sporza came out to the event. Truly an honor to meet him. Also, glad to see On Your Left get the nod. Fabulous party. Awesome shop.

Race day was really special during the races and in between the races with individuals tackling the course in a speedo, cowboy boots and a beer in hand. The crowd would cheer and encourage riders checking out the course to ride the limestone steps. The noise during the races was absolutely invigorating for everybody. I captured a few clips on my phone to remember this day. https://soundcloud.com/solomon71/cyclocross-worlds-2013-1 and https://soundcloud.com/solomon71/cyclocross-worlds-2013

It was really amazing to be at a sporting event that no matter what the outcome everybody was ecstatic and having a great time. Nys winning was just icing on the fancy donut.
