Introduction “Sometimes in order to dig up good dirt, you have to get a little dirty!�

In each issue of STAMINA you will find stories I am either following and journaling, or articles I have written and published. I enjoy writing about radical, underground topics, in the world of alternative media.

I also use d.i.y. publishing as a form of therapy, believe it or not, but it does have its challenges. I also write about hard to discuss topics usually not covered by the news media, on the local or national media airways. Now, not all of my material will be news articles, I do have a lighter side and enjoy writing about many different things. I will promise this though; everything you read within these pages is original content, unless noted otherwise.

I am a compulsive researcher, so you never know what I may dig up in my search for answers to difficult questions. From time to time I may touch on topics my heart is close to, like areas of activism or services I volunteer to. Now and then you may see some personal writings streaming through STAMINAS print. I have many personal stories from my amazing life I have lived to tell about. Also, you will find skateboarding and punk rock features in each issue and as always, a guest alternative artist is featured.

For these reasons mentioned, I call STAMINA Series a Mega Zine, with full color photos and a wide range of topics touched on. Now if you do need a break from reading, I have included a word search puzzle for additional fun. I always try to keep my readers interested.

D.I.Y. zines are a way of reflecting on your lifestyle and sharing with others, this is how people get to know one another. Remember, I always have you the reader in mind as I create each issue for your reading pleasure, so consider a subscription to stay updated.

With all that being said, enjoy The STAMINA Zine Series. Thanks!

Too Old To Die Young!

Now that I’m in my mid 40's and at the so called ‘mid-life crisis age’ we’ve heard about and I have to admit, I do get some feedback vibes when going to a skateboard park, or while attending a punk rock show and even when catching some waves at the local’s spots on the California coastline. It’s to be expected and most people do appreciate my efforts and my experience, when I do enter into the lineup.

So I realize I have to accept the fact that I will be dealing with some worried mothers at the skateboard parks and usually I end up having a little chat with them to show I'm no petifile, but rather just a big dumb kid still holding on to his youth. Hey, that's fine with me, I’m just happy to be there skating and able to drop in and grind that place to pieces, carve out a few lines and then I’m out. Usually I get a nice session in without the harsh reality of a taking a slam, which I really can’t afford these days.

Now when I get dressed up for a gig in my punk rock attire complete with a denim vest jacket that’s full of patches, I've made from cutting up old tshirts and sewing them on, I tend to get a little amped up on catching a banging hardcore show. Although, I do need to be aware of the age difference between myself and the kids of today, the ones I'll probably be bashing heads with if I decide to do some moshing that night.

In most cases at the skate parks and the punk shows, or even at the surf spots, I do gain some respect for my age and believe me I think I deserve it. After all I have paid my dues and laid the tracks for future extremist to find their way to this lifestyle of choice. I've been living this lifestyle for 30+ years now and don't let the grey hair fool you, because you better hold on to your hats when riding in my caravan. Just break me off some good flavors and send some good vibrations and we’re cool.

5

Now I will throw down under certain circumstances, like if someone fronts me, or steps to my grill with some word vomit like, "Hey OG" bullshit, or if they try to use my obvious experienced appearance as a prop for their nickel and dime senior citizen jokes, like, “Hey gramps the kiddy bowl is at the front of the skate park, or “Hey old school, the kiddy waves are down by the pier,” or “Hey Pops, the kiddy seats are up in the balcony.” Oh Fuck No Pal, kiddy just knocked you out!” It does happen, but I’d rather avoid any static and keep things flowing without incident Okay, so I don’t think I’m wrong here for demanding at least some props for keeping my game real for so many years. I’ve kept my bag of tricks fresh steady-long and when I was coming up our crew showed nothing but mad respect to the senior ranks. Seriously, I’ve been wearing leather and riding concrete decade after decade now and not one thing has faded. Okay, so my mind may be a little tired from all the years of living the ‘endless summer,’ but don’t let the slow memory fool you. I dogged your daddy’s back when they were coming up and I sure as hell ain't getting phased out by your “swag, hipster, dubsteping, steezy attitudes.”

No way son, for now “I'M HERE TO STAY” and if it's not meant for me to blow things up anymore and I’m no longer living on the level, then everybody will at least know that I died trying. Up The Punx! -R.M.

Uncle Sam Loses Billion$ From D.I.Y. I hear the acronym D.I.Y. (do it yourself) everywhere I go these days, it’s put a new face on an old trend for problem solving. I used the D.I.Y. concept to create this publication your reading and I even bought into this trend by purchasing a domain name called www.diy-publishing.com, where I offer a small press publishing services for indie publishers like myself. I put other slogans below I found online for you to see how others are using ‘do it yourself.’ The D.I.Y. concept is definitely a viral subject and it’s here to stay, although it really never left, D.I.Y. dates back as far as time goes.

D.I.Y. is an approach you can apply to anything, even if it requires some continued education by taking classes and learning how to D.I.Y. any project you may want to tackle. It’s the way to do things these days to save money, or even to just feel good about learning and applying a newly learned craft or skill. It could be a home repair or upgrade, such as re-doing the tile in your bathroom, but without using a professional service. The D.I.Y. way puts a new face on an old trend and whole genres are calling it their own.

What about when a group of people use their D.I.Y. skills and talents to provide an underground service. Example; two work acquaintances both have a need of a service and instead of bargain shopping with local businesses they begin to collaborate together. Basically it’s a who knows who discussion, usually by word of mouth, until a solution is found and an arrangement will be made to fulfill the needed service. Once everybody is in one accord, the deal is sealed using a trade off of some sorts. This is basic D.I.Y. bartering 101, which is the oldest method of doing business in the history of the world and the U.S. federal government hates it.

NOTE: The United States alone was estimated to account for over $2 trillion US Dollars (USD) lost per year from all unreported cash holdings.

8

When the U.S. government agencies calculate economic figures for the given year, such as the gross national product (GNP), they rely on information gathered from legitimate income reports generated by companies, non-profit organizations, and individual taxpayers, this means you and me. What these government agencies cannot use in their economic forecasts however, are the estimated billions of dollars in cash circulating through what is known as the “underground economy” and they aren’t referring to the black market economy, that’s a whole other problem.

It has also been estimated that up to 80% of all US $100 dollar bills printed every year end up overseas within weeks of their circulation. This includes income generated through illegal means, such as prostitution or gambling, as well as legitimate but cash-based activities including online auctions and other Internet related services. The Internet is a D.I.Y. resource playground.

The federal government despises D.I.Y. bartering arrangements and services paid using cash, “under the table” so to say. It’s all too funny to the average tax payer, but I’m sure you can see their dilemma. This is a market they can’t control and never will. Long live ‘do it yourself’ projects and cash or trade based bartering systems. Written F.Y.I. promoting D.I.Y. living.

FIDLAR Band Review New Punk Band Making Waves Out Of California

FIDLAR is a skate punk band from Los Angeles California. The band's name is an acronym for 'Fuck It Dog, Life's a Risk’; a skate mantra created by singer Zac Carper's former roommates. The members of FIDLAR were seemingly destined from birth to play in a band with a role model father from the legendary punk rock skate band T.S.O.L. Elvis Kuehn (guitar/vocals) and Max Kuehn (drums) are the sons of Greg Kuehn, keyboardist for Long Beach punk legends T.S.O.L., while Zac Carper (vocals/guitar) is the son of famed custom surfboard crafter and designer to the pros, “John “JC” Carper,” who works out of his home based shop in Oahu Hawaii. Along with Brandon Schwartzel on bass, the Kuehn brothers and Carper came together in 2009 form the California based (slash) skate/surf /garage/-punk rock band known as “FIDLAR.”

11

Originally; FIDLAR went under the name 'Fuck The Clock.' Three years after recording their first songs they stepped on stage together with ‘The Black Lips’ and then went on tour with ‘The Hives.’ What kind of luck do you have to have to debut on the road with two seasoned bands who bring in large crowds of fans everywhere they perform. Instantly they were signed for a major label contract and in 2013 they released an album under the same name titled ‘FIDLAR,’ which sent them onto a new playing field far different than the house party weekend gigs they were used to playing.

Before long, the four FIDLAR members were cohabitating in a pad on Figueroa Street, getting the job done with DIY rehearsals and recording their party tunes on site for friends and family. FIDLAR haven’t stopped touring since their early beginning performing at local high schools and house parties, dating back to 2009 when band name was ‘Fuck The Clock.’ So ‘FIDLAR’ feels they’ve paid their dues and are ready for the spotlight and the long road of touring.

As much as most would hate to admit it, you’ve got to love the youngster’s party songs and their classic humorous lyrics. Below are some of the, “I don’t give a fuck” lyrics I pulled from their smash album titled ‘FIDLAR. In the hit song “Cheap Beer” the lyrics say; “…getting fucked up on the 101, shooting our guns and having fun, 40 beers later and a line of speed, eight-ball of blow and a half-a-pound of weed.

(Chorus), “I drink Cheap Beer - So what - Fuck you!” “I drink Cheap Beer - So what - Fuck you!”

In another song "Stoked and Broke" the lyrics say; "I just want to get really high, smoke weed until the day I die, I don’t ever wanna get a job, if I fucked up today hey, nothing’s wrong. Getting pissed up by the hills, on cocaine and shitty pills, get head in a broken car, with the windows up and the lights turned off. There's nothing wrong with living like this, all my friends are pieces of shit…”

Words Women Use, Dealing With Men 1. “Fine”: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to just shut up, walk away and leave her alone.

2. “Five Minutes”: If she is getting dressed then 5 minutes is at least 15 minutes, sometimes a ½ hour. Five minutes is really only five minutes if she is actually at the door, or if you are watching your favorite program on TV. 3. “Nothing”: This is the calm before the storm. This means something is seriously wrong and you should be on your toes. Just be prepared.

(Arguments beginning with ‘Nothing’ usually end with #1 ‘Fine’) 4. “Go Ahead”: This is a dare and in no way permission for you to do what you were asking to do. ‘DO NOT DO IT.’ Change your plans, or just stay at home. (Arguing will have the ending result of #5 ‘Whatever’) 5. “Whatever”: This is a woman's way of saying “FUCK YOU!”

14

6. “A Loud Sigh”: This is not actually a word but rather a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men but very serious. Usually when you hear ‘a loud sigh,’ this means she thinks you’re an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time arguing with you. (Refer back to #3 ‘Nothing’) 7. “Thanks”: If a woman is thanking you, do not question it or show disbelief, just say “you're welcome” and walk away. Now if she says, “Thanks a lot,” this is just pure sarcasm, she is not thanking you at all.

Just leave it at that and don’t try figuring it out. DO NOT SAY “you're welcome.” (That would bring #5 ‘Whatever’) 8. “That's Okay”: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. ‘That's okay,’ buys her time so she can think long and hard of how and when you will pay for your mistake. Don’t beat yourself up over this situation, it’s unavoidable. Sometimes payback will come years later or that very same day.

9. “Don't Worry About It, I’ve Got It”: Another dangerous statement that means this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times but she is now doing it instead herself. DO NOT ASK ‘what’s wrong?’ (This will only bring #3 ‘Nothing’) 10. “Hi Or Hello”: These two greetings have very different meanings.

‘Hi’ means please leave me alone; I’m too busy to talk to you right now.

Now if she says ‘Hello,’ this means she is inviting you to chat for a minute on her terms, usually to discus things that are on her mind at that moment. Enjoy this sharing opportunity for all it’s worth.

Fight Or Fuck?

The title of this refers to the first question usually asked when first alone with your new prison roommate after you’ve reached the cell block you will be housed at during your sentence term. The “Fight or Fuck” question may be a reality for anyone who does a stay in the United States prison system. I personally am against this heinous treatment.

Staggering Prison Rape Statistics In America Before 2012, the federal government had never bothered to estimate the actual number of rapes that occur in American prisons.

In 2008 the Justice Department finally released an estimate of the prevalence of sexual abuse in penitentiaries. This report relied on the number of filed complaints and appeared to understate the truth of this prison problem. For 2008, as an example, the government had tallied 935 confirmed instances of sexual abuse known as ‘prison rape.’

17

A request for further investigation surfaced and after asking around, conducting interviews, followed by performing more calculations, the Justice Department came up with a new number of 216,000 sexual abuse cases. This is 216,000 victims of rape, not instances.

There is no way of counting the amount of instances an inmate may suffer sexual abuse. These victims are often sexually assaulted multiple times over the course of the given year. An accurate account of prison rapes would be impossible.

Even with approximate estimations of rape occurrences, these numbers are alarming to US officials and human rights groups across the nation.

Nothing that’s been petitioned through the courts as a means for ending the prison rape problem has solved this nationwide problem. The focus remains urgent for a future solution. Join me in this cause and become an active participant in finding a solution to this terrible national problem.

Shocking Stats Regarding Rape In America Below is an ‘Amazing’ statement in the official Justice Department annual report.

The Justice Department filed a report saying now that, (quote) “prison rape accounts for the majority of all rapes committed in the United States. Making the United States the first country in the history of the world to count more rapes for men than rapes for women.”

NOTE: Reported from the National Institute of Corrections, an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons. (2013) 18

D.I.Y. Painted Candles Project paints one 8 x 4 inch pillar shaped candle Painting onto candles lets you turn solid, plain, molded, store bought candles into personalized accents to any room of your home. The trick is to find poster or gouache type paints. Although a little more difficult to work with, wax paint has better adherence, and also creates brighter colors, like reds, whites, and blues which are available at most art and craft stores. These types of paints have a better chance of sticking to the sometimes slick and shiny candle wax service. Adding a drop or two of dish detergent to the paint will improve its adherence.

Directions: 1. Carefully plan your designs and list the patterns and shapes you wish to use on a piece of paper. You can cut out pictures to follow the design as a pattern.

2. Prepare the candle by wiping it clean and drying it with an old nylon, or chamois cloth. A rag dipped in paint remover will remove most blemishes.

3. For each color, mix one teaspoon of paint with a pea sized drop of dish detergent. The paint should be thick, not runny.

4. Use an artist's paint brush and a different paint brush for each color.

Apply quickly; Use even brush strokes, this will be the most effective technique.

5. Allow the paint to dry for about 30 minutes before handling or lighting the candle.

EXTRA IDEAS: Instead of a paint brush, use an old kitchen sponge or loofa to dab or smear the paint on. This will produce a light, lacy look.

You can also experiment with other applicators, such as a toothbrush, or a crumpled up piece of fabric, or paper. Many other household goods may work too.

Top 10 Bit Torrent Sites

1. The Pirate Bay TPB (The Pirate Bay) sees well over 1 billion visitor views per month. Whether you like to admit it or not The Pirate Bay is synonymous with Bit Torrent as we know it. The site was founded over a decade ago and is still growing, despite the arrested of its founders, ISP blocks and the domain moves from country to country, and now operating from a cloud. With all that TPB is the stand out leader year after year. (Alexa Rank: 79 (EST) / Compete Rank: NA)

2. KickassTorrents KickassTorrents was founded in 2009 and has never left the top 10 and now has nd a 2 place position.

Despite the turmoil they continue to operate at full operational force today.

(Alexa Rank: 103 / Compete Rank: 452)

3. Torrentz Torrentz has been the leading Bit Torrent Meta Search Engine for several years now. Torrentz does not host any downloadable bit torrent files. Its purpose is redirecting traffic to downloadable bit torrent sites on the Internet. The site uses several different domain names, but the (.eu) extension is the most available link.

(Alexa Rank: 153 / Compete Rank: 1.377)

4. ExtraTorrent ExtraTorrent has grown every year since its beginning. This success did not go unnoticed by the right shoulder strong arm groups, such as The MPAA, who recently titled ExtraTorrent as being one of the top visited pirate sites on the Internet. The site is now forced to forfeit its .com domain and is trading using a (.cc) extension. (Alexa Rank: 363 / Compete Rank: 2,286)

5. YIFY-Torrents As little as three years ago YIFI was unheard of, but today the torrent site better known for its movie releases, is one of the most recognizable movie piracy services on the Internet.

25

6. EZTV Unlike the other sites in the top 10, TV-torrent distribution group EZTV is a niche site specializing in TV content only. Because of its focus, EZTV’s traffic varies in line with the TV seasons.

(Alexa Rank: 1,382 / Compete Rank: 11,445)

8. isoHunt.to Isohunt.to was launched in October 2013, less than two weeks after isoHunt.com was shut down by government officials.

Building An (SC) Survival Community Creating A Survival Checklist Build your Survival Community (SC) with the people whom you trust and rely on should an emergency situation arise and you become in need of any kind of help. Emergency responders like police, fire rescue, and EMT’s are stretched out thin. Grocery stores and gas stations may not even be open.

This is where your Survival Community (SC) comes in. Once the emergency has passed and after everyone is out of imminent danger, your SC can also help provide supplies others will do without. When store shelves are bare or empty, you can still barter for necessary items with each other.

Each member of your SC should ideally have a different set of skills. A group that contains a doctor, mechanic, carpenter and hunters, are going to be more valuable than elderly, ill, or even just lazy friends and relatives who may offer no help whatsoever.

You should keep your SC always close by and within walking distance.

Transportation routes, road and traffic conditions will become unreliable after any tragic disaster.

Keep the group small, no more than two to three pairs or a six member family. Any larger, the group becomes more difficult to manage, organize and trust.

Unlike in a wilderness setting, you may need to keep up with appearances in an urban survival situation. It’s a good idea to put up window blackening material like aluminum foil, or blackout curtains found at hardware stores. If everyone around you is ill prepared, you don’t want to draw attention to yourself. Desperation brings out the worse in people, even people who you once called friends.

Always travel lightly. If you must evacuate, use a ‘bug out bag’ or a ‘72 hour survival kit’ to cover your basic necessities in short term situations. Don’t bring along unnecessary bulky, heavy items. You may have to get out and walk while carrying all your possessions.

SC Golden Rule: “The First Rule Of Your Survival Community Is You Do Not Talk About The Survival Community.”

29

PROTECT YOUR COMUNNITY & POSSESSIONS Generators become very valuable after the power is out for a few days. If you must run one, secure it with a heavy chain and lock.

Arm yourself. People do crazy things in emergencies. Always carry at minimum, a knife and pepper spray when away from SC home base.

Stay away from crowds and FEMA camps. This is not the time to rely on the kindness of strangers. Find a hotel or secluded campsite to set up your SC home base.

BASIC SURVIVAL SUPPLY CHECKLIST Food, Clothing and Shelter Food Preparation and Preservation Water Purification and Storage Cleaning Products Communications – Radio and Cell Phone Hunting and Fishing Equipment Bartering Items Electrical Generation Source Lighting – Flashlights and Batteries Books, Games and Toys Heating and Cooling Equipment Laundry - Wash and Dry Area Fuel For All Purposes Human Waste Disposal - Paper Supplies and Area Medical, Dental and General Hygiene Items Tools For All Purpose Weapons Owned or Hand Made 30

STAY POSITIVE, AWARE & ALERT Stay close to home SC. In emergency situations your home base becomes your castle and your sanctuary. Make the best out of a bad situation. Always be aware of your possessions, supplies and your surroundings.

Attitude is key and without it, no one individual will survive the circumstances that may arise. In the end the individuals with the best attitude, planning and bartering items, will survive. Collect items for trade and bartering as you travel. Always keep your eyes on the future, be prepared for anything and stay the course.

Easy Recipe For Making Cannabutter Every cannabis cook should start with Cannabutter, because you can use it with everything! Cannabis butter is a delicacy for gourmet marijuana smokers who like to have the option of eating it for a longer lasting buzz; it can be smoked as well.

Ingredients: 450 grams (about 1 pound) butter. 2 cups butter.

25 grams (about 1 ounce) quality buds or hash OR 50 grams (about 2 ounces) ground leaves

Additional Ingredients Can Be Used: You can spice up your Cannabutter in any number of ways. Here are some creative combinations: 1/2 - teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 - teaspoon pesto sauce, thyme, rosemary, oregano and/or chives 1/2 - tablespoon grated orange and lemon peel & 1/2 tablespoon of juice 1/2 - teaspoon mixed spice 1/2 - tablespoon of strong black coffee (coffee butter).

Directions: Begin with a small saucepan over your stove’s lowest burner settingbetter to take too long than to ruin your work by burning it past edibility.

Add one quart of water and bring it to a rolling boil.

Stir the finely chopped, cleaned, and seedless marijuana; leaves gently into the boiling butter and water mixture, then cover and let simmer on low heat for forty-five minutes, stirring frequently until the active cannabis ingredients have been extracted and the butter turns a green color.

After forty- five minutes, remove the pot from heat and let cool for six hours, stirring every thirty minutes. The longer you cook, the more potent the final results will be.

After six hours, reheat the mixture to liquid consistency and separate the marijuana by pouring the butter through a fine strainer to remove all the excess buds and leaves and catching the butter below in a glass or plastic container. Squeeze out remaining butter with a potato masher or a other similar utensil.

Refrigerate the bowl for one hour-until the butter has hardened across the top of the bowl-and pour off the liquid again one more time. The green solid of what remains is cannabis butter or cannabutter.

NOTE:

Refrigerating the melted butter will bring it back to a solid consistency.

Storage: The best method for storing the Cannabutter is to place it in several glass jars and to then refrigerate. Once the Cannabutter has hardened, add a touch of water to the jars. This will help it to keep longer if storing.
