The Communication Illusion:
The Silent Relationship Killer
By Rene F. Rodriguez
Communication is a part of almost every human interaction, which is why we keep hearing that we need to be better communicators. But let me ask you a question, "How well do you communicate?"

Oktoberfest
It's About More Than Just the Beer
By Kirk Leins
When you think of Oktoberfest, the picture that most likely comes to mind is of dirndl-clad waitresses serving fistfuls of super-sized beers. While this image is far from inaccurate, the annual Bavarian festival is also about eating hearty portions of traditional German food. As a personal chef and a first generation German-American, I felt obligated to share some of my favorite German dishes.
