Well here is issue #1 of the STAMINA zine series, thanks’ for all the patience you’ve shown me during my self-publishing venture. It has taken a year to get to this point and I’m glad to finally be sending STAMINA out. My goal when first creating this zine was, to push the D.I.Y. envelope of self-publishing, by creating a small press publication totally done in house, with only a desktop computer, word processor and printer. I wanted the whole process to be homemade, yet maintain a high level of quality, as if it were done by a publisher and a print shop. I should have known, completing the first issue would be very challenging, being I’m a total perfectionist. Well, “tweaked” is more like what some of my friends and family would call me, so for this I do apologize to you. With all that being said, thank you and enjoy the read.

Too Old To Die Young! Now that I’m in my mid 40's and at the so called, “mid-life crisis” age, I have to admit, I do get some curious vibes when visiting a skateboard park. The same is true while attending a punk rock show and even when catching some waves at the local Cali spots along the golden coastline. It’s to be expected and most people do appreciate my efforts and my level of experience, when I do enter into any lineup.

So I do realize that I have to accept the fact that I will be dealing with some worried mothers at the skateboard parks and usually I make a point to stop by and have a little chat with them, showing firsthand I’m no predator. They can then see, I’m just a big, dumb kid, still holding on to my youth. Hey, that's fine with me, I’m just happy to be there skating again and able to drop in, grind the place to pieces, carve out a few lines and I’m out. Now, if I can get a nice session in without the harsh reality of a hard slam, which I really can’t afford, then all’s well. I also enjoy getting dressed up for a hardcore gig in my punk rock attire, complete with a denim vest jacket, loaded full of patches I’ve made from cutting up old t-shirts. Now, I do tend to get a little amped up for the gig and realistically, I do need to be aware of the age difference between myself and the kids at the shows these days. And I know the floor will be filled with punk rock loving youngsters and I'll probably be bashing heads with some of them hell raisers, if I decide to do some moshing that night.

In most cases at the skate parks and at the punk rock shows, or even at the Cali 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 this wonderful lifestyle I've chosen. Looking back on it all, I realize I’ve been living this lifestyle for 30+ years now, so don't let the grey hair fool you, show some respect and break me off proper. 6

Now, I will throw down under certain circumstances. Like if someone fronts me and steps to my grill with some word vomit like with the "hey OG," bullshit. It makes me mad if they use my obvious experienced appearance as a prop for their nickel and dime senior citizen jokes. Example, “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 even, hey pops, the kiddy seats are up in the balcony.” Oh, Fuck No Pal, Kiddy Just Knocked You Out!” It does happen from time to time, but I’d rather avoid any static from today’s youth and exit the establishment 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 to this day 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, without being 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. 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. “R.I.P. Roll In Peace!”

Uncle Sam Loses Billion$ From D.I.Y. I hear the acronym D.I.Y. (do it yourself) everywhere I go these days, it has put a new face on an old trend called problem solving. I used the D.I.Y. concept to create this publication you’re reading and I even bought into this popular trend, by purchasing a domain name, titled www.diypublishing.com. There, I offer a small press publishing service to indie authors like myself. 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.

D.I.Y. is an approach you can apply to anything these days, even if it requires some continued education, like learning a new set of skills, or a new craft, to then apply to any project at home or, work. It’s the way to do things these days to save money and can be as equally fun and rewarding. So if you need a project completed, by all means consider the, “do it yourself” concept, instead of using a professional contractor, or an expensive corporate service. The D.I.Y. lifestyle is growing in popularity and whole groups and 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 are both in need of a service and instead of bargain shopping with local businesses, they begin to collaborate and hash out the details of their needs. Basically, it’s a “who knows who” discussion, usually by word of mouth, until a solution is found and an arrangement is made. Once everybody is in one accord, the deal is sealed using a tradeoff of some sorts, using the trusted buddy system and always under the table. This is basic bartering 101, which is the oldest method of doing business in the history of the world and the U.S. federal government despises it.

When the U.S. government agencies calculate economic figures for a given year, such as the gross national product (GNP), they rely on information gathered using regulated reports. These reports are from legitimate income returns, generated by licensed 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 and billions of dollars in cash circulating through what’s known as, “the underground economy” and they are not referring to the “black market economy,” that’s a whole other problem the US government is always battling, only to fail annually. NOTE: The United States alone was estimated to account for over $2 trillion US Dollars (USD) lost per year from all unreported cash holdings.

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, such as auctions and Internet related services. The Internet is a large D.I.Y. playground, full of resources. The ‘deep dark net’ markets prosper here as well because, where there’s good, bad usually follows and believe me there are many faces, to the “do it yourself” methodology. The federal government despises D.I.Y. bartering arrangements and services that are paid using cash, or “under the table,” so to say. It’s all too funny to the average tax payer, to be honest, but I’m sure you can see the U.S. government’s dilemma here. This is a market they can’t control and will never able to control in a free democracy like America. To all you out there living and practicing the D.I.Y. lifestyle, we solute you. Long live all the ‘do it yourself’ projects and bartering arrangements worldwide. This article is written F.Y.I. promoting D.I.Y. living.”

FIDLAR Band Review New Punk Rock 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 skateboarding roommates. Two of the band members, were seemingly destined from birth to play in a band, with a role model musician father, Greg Kuehn, the keyboardist for the Long Beach legends, ‘T.S.O.L.’ Needless to say, the brothers heard their punk rock calling and began writing music together early on in their young lives with a little help from pops, Greg Kuehn. Elvis Kuehn, (guitar/vocals) and Max Kuehn, (drums), team up with Brandon Schwartzel (bass) and Zac Carper (vocals/guitar), who is the son of the famed Hawaiian surfboard designer, ‘John “JC” Carper.’ The Kuehn brothers, Schwartzel and Carper came together in 2009 as a local band called ‘Fuck The Clock’ and then later changed it to ‘FIDLAR.’ Before long, in 2010, the four FIDLAR members were cohabitating together at their small California pad on Figueroa Street. They got busy getting the job done with DIY rehearsals and late night garage recording sessions. Their audience consisted of friends and family and the local scene was always around to sing along with their contagious party tunes. FIDLAR played house parties, high school dances and up town night clubs. The local onlookers and fans really helped keep the band fresh and crowd savvy. The FIDLAR crew feels they have paid their dues and are ready for the spotlight and the long road of touring the world.

Three years after recording their first songs, FIDLAR stepped on stage as the opener for the popular band, ‘The Black Lips’ and people took notice immediately. Shortly after that great experience, FIDLAR went on tour with ‘The Hives.’ What an opportunity to debut on the road with two seasoned punk rock bands, which bring in large and rowdy crowds. Instantly they were signed to a major record label and in 2013 they released a hit album under the same name titled, ‘FIDLAR.’ 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.’ On this they sing about mixing drugs, groupie girls, surfing, skateboarding, getting drunk, and shooting guns.

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, getting 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, 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. Stay 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!” 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 talking with you. (Refer 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 on that very day. 9. “Don't Worry About 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 herself instead. 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 discuss things that are on her mind.

Fight Or Fuck? The term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fight or Fuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a real question typically asked to new inmates when moving in, or meeting your new cell mate. The answer given either way could become a terrifying reality for anybody who is doing a stay in an American state, or federal penitentiary.

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. So, in 2008 the Justice Department finally released an estimate of the prevalence of sexual abuse taking place in our national penitentiaries. This report relied on the number of filed complaints and appeared to understate the truth of this prison problem. In this 2008 study, government officials had tallied 935 confirmed instances of sexual abuse, also known as prison rape. A request for further investigations surfaced and after asking around, conducting interviews, and taking national surveys. The board then performed more accurate calculations and the Justice Department came up with a new number from their investigation. So, in 2012 the official report counted 216,000 sexual abuse cases, or prison rapes. Now keep in mind, this is 216,000 victims of rape, not instances. The count could be much higher. There is no way to count the amount of rape instances an inmate may suffer in prison. These victims are often sexually assaulted multiple times over the course of the given year. So, an accurate account of prison rapes and sexual abuse would be virtually impossible to gather.

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 abuse. The focus still remains urgent for a future solution, but to date, nothing has been mandated in the courts for solving the broad sexual abuse cases taking place in US penitentiaries each day. Please join me in the search for a solution and become an active participant in the fight to stop this terrible national problem.

Shocking Stats Regarding Rape In America Amazing facts below from an official Justice Department report. The Justice Department has now filed a report saying; Prison rape accounts for the majority of all rapes committed in the United States of America.” This is a huge statement filed in the FBP archives. The report goes on to say; “This makes the United States, the first country in the history of the world to count more rapes for men than rapes for women, outright.” As a nation, this is humiliating, but opposite the accounts and recording of these reports, are the terrible details and facts logged and chronicled throughout this official report annually.

NOTE: Reported from the National Institute of Corrections, an agency within the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons. (2013) 20

D.I.Y. Painted Candles

Project paints one 8 x 4 inch pillar shaped candle

Painting candles lets you turn solid, plain and molded store bought candles, into personalized additions for any room in your home. The trick is to find poster, or gouache type wax paints. Although a little more difficult to work with, wax paint has a better adherence and creates brighter colors, like reds, whites, and blues These types of paints have a better chance of sticking to the sometimes slick and shiny candle wax surface. Adding a drop or two of dish detergent to the paint will improve its adherence. Special paints are available at most art and craft stores.

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 artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designed paint brush to paint the candles and use a different paint brush for each color used. Apply the paint quickly using an even brush stroke. This will be the most effective technique when applying the paint to the candle and the candle surface will dry more evenly this way. 5. Important: Before handling, or burning the freshly painted candle, allow the wet paint to dry for at least 45 minutes, 60 minutes to be safe. DESIGN 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, a crumpled piece of fabric, or a piece of paper. Many other household goods may work too. The chance to be freely creative here is entirely open. Enjoy the DIY project!

Easy Cannabutter Recipe Every cannabis cook should start with learning to cook Cannabutter. You can use it with everything you cook and it is easy ingested as well. Cannabis butter, or cannabuter is a delicacy for marijuana smokers who like to have the option of eating it for a longer lasting buzz.

Recipe Ingredients: 1 pound of butter, at 454g 500ml, or 2 cups 25 grams buds or hash (1 ounce) Or 50 grams (2 ounce) leaves Additional Ingredients Can Be Used To Enhance Flavor: You can spice up your Cannabutter in any number of ways. Here are some combination ideas: 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).

Cooking Directions: Begin with a small saucepan over your stove’s lowest burner setting. Remember it is better to take too long, than to ruin your work by burning it beyond 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. Cover pan and let simmer on low heat for forty-five minutes. Continue stirring frequently, until the active cannabis ingredients have been extracted and turn green.

After forty-five minutes simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool for six hours, stirring every thirty minutes. Note, the longer you cook this, the more potent the results will be, so be patient at this step. After six hours cooling, reheat the mixture to liquid consistency and separate the marijuana, by pouring the butter through a fine strainer. Remove all the excess buds and leaves and catch the butter below, in a glass or plastic container. Squeeze out the remaining butter with a potato masher, or another similar hand kitchen utensil. Refrigerate the mixture bowl for at least one hour, or until the butter has hardened across the top of the bowl. Pour the liquid off again, one more time. The green solid mixture remaining is the ‘cannabis butter,’ also called “cannabutter, weed butter, magic butter, pot butter.”

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

Refrigerate the melted cannabutter to bring it back to a solid texture. 28

Building A Survival Community (SC) How To Create A Survival Checklist Build your Survival Community (SC) only with the people whom you trust and rely on, should an emergency situation arise. Emergency responders like police, fire rescue, and EMT’s are stretched out thin in theses situation. 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 the store shelves are bare or empty, you can still barter for necessary items with each other, but beware of your surroundings and travel in numbers. IMPORTANT Keep the group small; you should have no more than two to three pairs in your SC group, or a six-member family. Any larger and the group may become more difficult to manage, organize and trust. Each SC member should ideally have a different set of skills; a group that contains a doctor, a mechanic, a carpenter and hunters will be more valuable than elderly, ill, or even lazy friends and relatives who may offer no help whatsoever. You should keep your SC close by; you should always be within walking distance of your SC. Transportation routes, road and traffic conditions, may become unreliable, or inaccessible during a disaster. Keep a low appearance in an urban survival situation; it is a good idea to put up window blackening material like aluminum foil, or use 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 or family. 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, because you may have to get out and walk while carrying all your possessions. Survival Community (SC) Golden Rule: The First Rule Of Your Survival Community Is, “You Do Not Talk About The Survival Community.” 33

PROTECT YOUR COMUNNITY & POSSESSIONS Stay away from crowds and FEMA camps. This is not the time to rely on the kindness of strangers. Instead find a hotel, or a secluded campsite to set up your SC home base. Plan your every move wisely from your SC. 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 and assign a rotating watch shift, or you can designate a volunteer to cover this detail. Arm yourself; people do crazy things in emergencies. Always carry at minimum, a knife and pepper spray, when away from the SC home base.

BASIC SURVIVAL SUPPLY CHECKLIST Food, Water, Clothing and Shelter Food Preparation and Preservation Utensils Water Purification and Storage Containers Soap and Cleaning Products Communications, Pager, Radio and Cell Phones Hunting and Fishing Equipment Bartering Items Variety Electrical Generation Sources Lighting, Flashlights and Batteries Books, Games and Toys Heating and Cooling Equipment Laundry, Wash and Dry Station Fuel For All Purposes Human Waste Disposal, Toilet Paper, Waste Water Medical, Dental, General Hygiene and Cleaning Items Tools For All Purposes Weapons Owned, or Hand Made, Ammunition 34

STAY POSITIVE, AWARE & ALERT Remember to stay close to your home SC. In emergency situations, your home base becomes your castle and your sanctuary. Try and make the best out of a bad situation. Make sure everybody is accountable and 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 systems, will survive the longest. Collect items for trade and bartering as you travel. Always keep your eyes on the future, be prepared for anything and on course, sticking to your SC plan.

BARTERING GOODS CHECKLIST Gold or Silver (coins, jewelry) Alcohol (beer, hard liquor) Tobacco (cigarettes, chew) Guns and Ammunition (weapons of any type) Fuel (cooking, heating, automobile) Sweets (chocolate, hard candy) Clothing (seasonal, boots, hats, gloves) Parts For All Purposes (automotive, kitchen, tools) Coffee, Tea and Soda Tools, Misc. Parts Soap, Shampoo, Hand Lotion, Sanitizers and Toilet Paper Cooking Supplies Food (fresh, canned, cooked) Notepads, Tape, Maps, Pens and Pencils Flashlights, Lighters and Matches Water

Meet Artist Matt Koelsch Rich Question: So Matt, tell me how old you are and at what age did you start following your artistic calling? Matt Answer: I am 40 years’ young. As far back as I can remember, creating art has been a passion. I have been showing my art publically, for about three years now. Rich Question: Matt, what type of painting do you do and under what category would your work fall under (example; traditional, oil, acrylic, canvas painting? Matt Answer: Acrylic paint, acrylic pens, Sharpies, pastel crayons and found art. Whatever I can find that catches my eye for a potential art piece I have in mind. Basically, art born from of the streets.

Rich Question: Tell me Matt, what is on your art itinerary for a given year? Are you featured anywhere, or do you have a list of shows you will be appearing in? Matt Answer: I do group shows throughout the year now. Like this year, I’ve done, Game of Skate, The Plywood Project and Art For Art Sakes. I’m just paying my dues, waiting for the chance to have a solo art show that the whole world could see. Rich Question: Last question Matt. What are your future goals towards advancing your art work? Will your art be made available online? Tell me what kind of success you would like to see happen in your bright future? Matt Answer: Well, a Friend on Facebook is building a publishing website and wants to do a page dedicated to my art collection.

To All You RICH, CORPORATE, CAPITALISTS BASTARDS Here’s what we think of you…

Zine SPOTLIGHT In this issue of STAMINA, I am spotlighting a small press publishing legend, it’s the one and only ‘Fishspit’ out of Bellvue Washington and the creator of the long running ‘Wiseblood’ zine series.

Fishspit is not new to zine publishing and before creating his Wiseblood zine, Fishspit put out a music review rag called ‘Gospel’, back in 1984. So for more than 30 years now, Fishspit has been penning his amazing life experiences in print, to share with all. At the time of writing this feature, the Wiseblood issue count was 63 and it usually comes out a couple times a year. Wiseblood is a perzine with a bite, which not only covers Fishspit’s hilarious life stories of punk rock living, past relationships, drug addiction and d.i.y. street life in general, but it touches on the current liberal issues of the day. Fishspit makes his opinions known in each issue of Wiseblood stirring up the liberal pot on many women’s rights topics. This always makes reading an issue of Wiseblood fun and entertaining, as he lays his beliefs and feeling on the table each issue and never holds back any liberal punches. The Wiseblood publication is easily made available “FREE” from Fishspit himself. Just write Fishspit a letter of correspondence, requesting to be put on his Wiseblood mailing list and sit back and wait for your copy of Wiseblood to arrive in the mail. Fishspit loves writing and loves getting mail and he is open to anything on your mind, good or bad. Contact Fishspit for an issue, or send a donation. Mail your inquiries to: Wiseblood 1304 175th Pl. NE. Bellvue, WA 98008
