Kingsford Professional Charcoal Review & Cook
Kingsford Professional charcoal test for: Burn Time, Temperature, Ashes, and the Pros/Cons while making Pulled Pork on the Pit Barrel Cooker! In a previous video, I tested Royal Oak Lump Charcoal in the Pit Barrel Cooker. Check out that video here: https://youtu.be/wvIRiSW0OxQ. One of these charcoals, Kingsford Professional or Royal Oak Lump, performs better in the Pit Barrel Cooker!

Lasting Love: How to Avoid Marital Failure (Book)
BACKGROUND FOR SELECTING THIS BOOK
My religious book study group was looking for a new/different subject to read and discuss. We chose to read a subject concerning marriage. After researching the options, we ended up picking this book in part because it had great reviews. The author (Alistair Begg) is very "traditional" in his beliefs and that is clear a short time into the book. I will elaborate later.
THE (DOWNWARD) TURNING POINT IN THE BOOK
The first few chapters were fairly good, though nothing spectacular/profound. There were a lot of references to the bible throughout, which I thought was nice and tied well to his points. However, the book takes a decided turn in chapter 4 titled "The Role of a Wife" . Begg recalls a story with a pregnant stylist that was cutting his hair. He asked the stylist if she planned to stay at home after her baby was born. The stylist replied that she would be a working mother. Begg scorned the soon-to-be mother blaming feminists for this type of belief being prevalent in society. Begg wrote, "despite how much I have come to rely upon her expertise in cutting my hair, she had just cut it for the last time - for I would not contribute in any way to her neglecting her baby, which I believed she was about to do so that she could cut hair!" I think that sentence says a lot about the author, unfortunately. This book lost a lot of credence with our bible study group as a whole after reading this chapter. In all fairness, the book is less controversial after chapter 4.
One member of my group even tried to call Alistar Begg from contact information on his website to get clarification on that chapter. However, the representative would not give Mr. Begg's email (my group member stated that she for sure has been getting plenty of requests for donations in her email inbox)!
EXTRA THOUGHTS
This book could have overcome that questionable chapter 4, but it never quite did. It left a lot to be desired, unfortunately. From what I gathered, most everyone in my religious book study group was quite disappointed with the book as a whole as well. The book and questions at the end of each chapter therein are a decent introduction to topics for a lasting marriage. However, it left me wishing I had read a different book on the subject for more substantive reading. The book was just missing something.

SoniShare Compact Replacement Toothbrush Heads
I have a Phillips Sonicare HX6530. My wife has the Sonicare Healthy White HX6730. These brush heads fit both exactly as intended - very secure with no wiggle. There is no difference in noise between these and the name brand heads. They come with different colors at the bottom that can be switched/rotated. There is no difference between the stiffness of bristles between these and the Phillips heads, although it might feel that way if you are replacing a worn out head.
BRUSH HEAD SIZE
The only real difference between these and other heads are the size of the brush head (and the price). I can see these as a good fit for those with: small teeth, sensitive gums (better control over brush head), for children, or if you just prefer a small brush head. If you like using a larger brush head, Sonishare offers those as well at the following link SoniShare - Philips Sonicare Replacement Heads Proresults 4,8,12, or 20-pack (4).
MY REVIEW / ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
I have used a number of the name brand brush heads and various generic brush heads. Other than maybe a size difference with the brush head, I do not notice a bit of difference among any of them. For that reason, when I was offered a discount in exchange for promising to leave my honest review, I jumped on it. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to pay more than necessary for name brand brush heads. I hope my review was helpful!
P.S. To find the model number of your Phillips toothbrush, look on the bottom of your brush. After you have that, check it against the list of compatible model numbers in the product listing above.
