Last month I was slated to attend the annual general meeting of the World Travel & Tourism Council...an organization dedicated to supporting the ongoing success of our industry.

The event was held in Dallas, Texas. As it was a three day meeting that ended on the weekend, I thought it wise to take advantage of being over on that side of…

This is an excellent review of this chronic and drastic problem.

Foreign currency trading is probably one of the most sure-fire methods to generate income nowadays. The system of Futures trading within the share market has been a pioneer in the class of earning swift currency by predicting trends and movements. And today it has the forex or currency exchange market for company. Now, there’s a reminder in the beginning: It’s probable that one might stand to lose just as much as they stand to gain out there, and…

Late last year, after completing, launching and promoting Mileage 51’s “Stone Unturned” CD, I thought about setting new musical goals for 2016. The first was completing my next CD project with Monks on the Moon “When Worlds Collide” which has just wrapped recording and is in post (editing/mixing..more on that in a future post). The other goal was satisfying a long-time desire to do serious live gigs in good venues.

For the purposes of this blog I want to focus on the latter. First I…

It is but a very common fact that the real estate market is very unstable as well as erratic. To come up with a solution, Property at wholesale, the company that was founded in the late 90’s has been very instrumental. The company was created with the reason of uniting people those to tend to have an intension to invest in real estate and properties. With the passage of time, Property at wholesale has become a giant in the market where it has been an advantage to the buyers as…

Music plays an important role in bringing up fond memories of the past. It’s a way to milestone our lives…at least I have always believed that to be the case. Just for fun I thought it would be interesting to create a short list of favourite 70s tunes and link them to memories from my younger days.

Just thought I would pass on a lyrical quote from my favorite artist:

“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.”

Economic calendars are used by forex traders to keep track of, and predict events that have the power to impact the rise or fall of stocks and shares in the market. Some of the things that are most commonly tracked in an economic calendar are monetary policy announcements by the Government of a country, or the Gross Domestic Product calculation. There are plenty others, a few of which are listed below:

The past year has been a most excellent one and I learned a lot through my personal experiences, and through the not so personal experiences that were happening around all of us in 2015. I thought I would take a moment to reflect on these to start of the new year. Here is what I hope to keep in mind throughout the next year:

• Every opportunity to fight is an opportunity to make peace.
• Take the time to look at the actions of the people around you and understand where they…

We at Kamazooie would like to take this time to wish all of our members and viewers a very Merry Christmas and  Happy 2015 Holiday Season.

Regardless of your belief or religion, this is generally a time of the year when families congregate at one location or another to be close together. We all have other friends and other important parts of our lives that consume us throughout the year which makes it all the more important that we have a time of the year that we can…

In memory of my brother Rino. Aug.17, 1948 - Nov.16, 2014.

I came across this picture while looking through the old albums today for a picture to post for Lark on his 67th birthday.

What a great picture of my Mom and Dad; its from our wedding dinner at the Redwood in Chapleau. In the corner you can also see the handsome young 21 year old Lorne Riley Jr. watching a little too seriously as my Dad seems to be…

My daughter Lisa was able to interview my mother before she passed away. This is her story. My mother was sister to Brian Ritchie's grandmother Maria Sonego.

I must start off this post by saying that it is not with any political intention that I write it; the story and is posted for heritage, historic and family legacy reasons alone. I also want to state that I have two strong heritage backgrounds in my family, Italian from my beautiful mother, who will be 92 in a few weeks, and Cree from my father. I am immensely proud of both of these heritages but this post deals with the Cree side of our family.

Last Friday, November 27, 2015, I was…

I thought this title might grab your attention. This past September, a group of friends and I celebrated 30 years of what we have come to call the Golf Weekend Classic or GWC. This post is about that group of guys, but its more about creating traditions to preserve the important things and people in your life. In the shot below, you see 6 (dare I say) middle-aged men, that came together once again to share work and family updates, a little golf and a lot of wine, food and laughs.…

Tonight my beautiful wife called me at work and wanted to now were i was ?? .
