The Pilates method of exercise is a system of gentle effective, whole-body conditioning and corrective exercises. It seems like everyone is either doing Pilates, or interested in starting a Pilates exercise program.

Well there’s really not much point in talking to him, poor soul. Continue reading »

al disasters (I’m thinking Florida and hurricanes, but I’m sure there are others) you may want to take a look at our range of Berkey Water Purifier Systems. There are several different sizes, they’re all fully portable and no power supply is needed. You already have a water filter? Let me explain the difference.
Water filters remove the rubbish from water, it’s true, but water purifiers are something else again. We usually attach water filters to the tap and use them to treat water which has already been treated. Water purifiers go further. You can use them to treat water from untreated sources; rivers, streams, even stagnant ponds. They not only remove bacteria from water, they remove viruses, which are far, far smaller.
