126 Walkfit LLC Consumer Reviews and Complaints
It is confusing to know what is going on about how and who is selling these inserts. A rule I have is to NEVER buy from infomercial ads, as they have a very bad reputation, as reported on this site. These are sold at Walmart? and Amazon. Originally, I purchased at Target years ago. At first I didn't like the inserts, and set them aside, because it didn't immediately comfort my feet. I bought others at various stores, gradually educating myself about how inserts work. In the end, I used these. If you have plantar fasciitis, you need to stretch a band on underside of your foot, and these will do that over time. Start with the 1 least curved, and as your foot adjusts to it, change out to the more arched one in the series of 3. You may need to take them out in the beginning on and off during the day, until that band starts to stretch. Your shoes need to have enough space inside to accommodate any orthotic insert, so you might need a different shoe.
Later, I learned that a free exercise can do the job. Stand up on your toes! Not literally, but do raise the back of your feet up, balancing yourself on the front ball and toes. Up for a second, down. Repeat. Start out with a few. Hang on to something to balance yourself. Even if you have only one foot with fasciitis, do this exercise on both. I continued to use the walkfits inserts for a year or more because they provide support. Ideally, they should make these from super thin materials, to fit into more shoes. They would cost more than $20. An insert for pure comfort is a cushier material, rather than this one. Good support usually doesn't come with soft material. My photo shows a few... Need a new pair of Walkfits, as they are worn, missing pieces. I don't wear others.
I ordered the Walkfit platinum arch support via the TV commercial that promised a 100% money back guarantee. After trying the supports, I promptly returned them to the address they were sent from as there were no instructions from the company on how to do that - only a "dead" number. The cost was supposed to be $19.95 plus shipping and handling. They popped my credit card for $66.00 and then a month later AFTER I'd returned them, they popped it again for $18.50 and $25.50. I disputed the item with my credit card company. They're STILL trying to charge my card. DO NOT do business with these predators.
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE Walkfit your card number. DO NOT BUY from them. I am saying the same thing as everyone else. I ordered the Plantar Fasciitis pad. They sent some supplement in the package. I was wondering what it was about because I did not order it. A month later they charged my card $44.85. I called them, they were rude, claim their computer is down and threatened to hang up when I got upset. I calmed down because I was recording the conversation. They eventually said they cancel the transaction and I must send the package back. It is a good thing I used my PayPal debit card. PayPal canceled the card and refund the money and is investigating these people. I went to my doctor got anti-inflammatory medication, roll my foot on frozen ice bottle and do the stretches so my feet are better. I wore the pad about a week and stopped. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
As a four time cervical spine surgical patient, as well as having M.S. and R.A.- body wide pain is a constant companion. This causes difficulty in walking as well as back hip and leg and foot pain. This is on top of the neck and arms issues. Well I bought these piece of junk. Actually bought a set for my husband also. They got here when I planned, as did pills and potions that I did not order. Sounds as if I am luckier than most, my credit card stood behind me all the way.
I told customer service to send a prepaid label and then I would return the un-ordered items, if not they would be considered a gift. As my credit card company had blocked Walkfit from collecting money from my card and refused to pay the first bills over charges I was in a good spot $ wise. But the product? A piece of junk sold on pseudo science.
Our bodies canNOT be in ANY way related to a stack of wooden blocks-no matter what the-the ooo and ahaha demo from TV attempts to convince people of. We can and do work and function amazingly well despite a myriad of issues that prevent us from being "bench level". Speak to real doctors about your foot problems. After dealing with these con men I was at the local county fair, guess who where there ready to pounce on people with canes--you have it. My poor husband felt bad for the guy. I never swear, and I do not lie, but he sure was sorry he tried to sell that product to me in a room with at least 500 people hearing every word I just shared here.
Bought Walk fit shoe inserts at TARGET for $19.99 plus tax. So I did not have to deal with the crap from the company that everyone else had to. Got them for the pain I have in my foot. These were hard as rocks. They were very uncomfortable. I tried all 3 inserts pieces. Returned to TARGET. Got my money back. These suck.

I ordered inserts for my bad feet and ended up getting charged on my credit card for pills that I did not order. I told the guy when I ordered inserts I did not want any of the free stuff he was offering. I told him directly just the inserts and slippers I wanted. He went and sent me pills anyways and now they are charging my credit card. I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. SCAMMERS. How do they get away with doing this? It's not bad enough my feet are in so much pain. THEY MAKE IT WORSE BY STEALING YOUR $ TOO!!!
Ordered Walkfit, the actual orthotic wasn't bad. Came with herbal joint pill that I threw in the trash. When you buy the product it doesn't include S&H it's an extra 12.97. A month later, more bottles of this "joint junk" shows up in the mail, so I checked my credit card to find out they are sending you this junk at 44.85 a month and another 12.99 shipping. Checked on how to stop the order or return, packing slip says no instructions for this. To return, you have to call a number for this. I wonder if anyone has gotten thru on that number, I had zero success. It's a shame the site is a ripoff. They could probably actually market the product successfully. I supposes it does take less effort to rip people off.
I placed an order with this company and did not receive two out of three items promised for 19.99. When I called twice I was told both times "we'll just pay 14.99 more and another 9.99 shipping and we will get those right out to you!" When I told them I had date and time of tv ad they BOTH said "this is all we will do," and also "we don't have any managers or Supervisors here." When I said they were cheating people they both laughed and said "oh well".
I called Walkfit customer service to disputed some additional charges to my credit card, so someone by the name Jose answered the call, which he did answer the phone properly and he asked me what's the reason for calling. I started explain to him about my order, that I have place an order and Walkfit charges me two times and which my order was only $19.95 without S&H fee, and Walkfit charged me $32.55 and $43.39. When he check his system he said the same order was place twice. I told him NO it's only one order I want and that the system mistake and I need him to correct the problem.
Jose started to tell me that I have to pay S&H fee and that the comfy form slipper I have to pay for that too. I told him the advertisement said the slipper was a free bonus and NO S&H. All of sudden he did not wanna hear me speak anymore. So guess what this disrespectful Jose did. He put me on hold two times and playing music in my ears without informing me, and then returned to the call and disconnected the call... very disrespectful. This guy Jose need to go back and get proper customer training before he sits behind a desk and computer to help customers.
Fortunately I called back and this nice lady by the name of Linda ** answered the phone and help me. She saw what was the problems were and the mistake the system made and correct it, refund me my overcharge money back to my credit card account and solved the situation. Thanks to Linda. She is a great customer service rep. I did spoke to the shift supervisor and explain the situation so I hope he have a very good talk with that DISRESPECTFUL JOSE.
They charge your credit card for erroneous charges. I tried to cancel my order before it shipped, but that made too much sense. They wait to charge you for shipping and handling charges. This is the worse company!! Do not conduct business with this company.
Terrible customer service. I spoke with numerous CSR's and a CSR supervisor and all I got was excuses of why my money hasn't been refunded yet. And also they told me to send back by refusal of mail so that I would not have to be paid shipping. And then they say they never received, and so then they don't post to your account your refund. It has been over a month. Is been a terrible experience. I would not deal with this business again and I forewarn people that do.
All I had was electronic answering service and to just push buttons and added things to your account that you did not order and billed your credit card. And then there was not a live CSR to speak with but they did air the infomercial on a Friday night but the CSR's are not available till Monday morning. And then your order is already processed by then. There was one CSR that tried to help me on two occasions but the company would not process the refund. I commend him in his belief of being a good CSR, but he can't help but the company does.
When I tried to order the Walk-Fit orthotics, the website advertised "Special Price! Three pairs for $19.95. Plus $9.95 Shipping and Handling each pair." Note that it does not say $19.95 per pair. My debit card was declined. When they called back to get it corrected and told me I owed $89.70 instead of the $49.80 I was expected, I asked to cancel the order. Billing couldn't do that (because that would be too easy and make too much sense), so they gave me the customer service number. I called and spoke to Mario, who cancelled my order, but frankly I have no idea if I will still be charged S&H (for a product that was never shipped!) or not because I could barely hear him.
My cancellation number ("it is the same as your order number" he says - but that number was not included in the one and only email I received that told me my card had been declined!) is **. I swear, if they charge me so much as one red cent, they are going to get school in some fundamental business practices! NOTE: I checked Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond before ordering off the website but couldn't find the insoles at either store. Maybe they stopped supplying their retailers because scamming the public directly was more profitable.
This has been the worst website and customer service I have ever dealt with. After you enter your info and hit submit. You see nothing, no confirmation, order number, not even sure the order went thru. No email of receipt. They don't tell you how much the order is or give you an order or tracking number. I did receive an email saying it was shipped but still no other info and money was taken out of my acct. Waited for 3 weeks, haven't seen package, so I emailed them asking for a tracking number. They sent me a return email saying I need to call customer service, there was no valid address.
So call customer service, they tell me they have to wait until the package is returned then they will send me a letter to either resend package or get a refund. Waited for the letter. A week later called again, they said they would email me the letter (never got email). I told "just refund my money, I was tired of this." They refused, said I need to fill out the letter. So now I'm stuck with trying to go thru my bank to dispute and still waiting for letter. DON'T ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY. TOTAL RIPOFF AND PAIN.
On August 18, I ordered 3 Walkfit insoles through online. Walkfit states that the product will be delivered 2-4 weeks. After two days of my order, I received an email from Walkfit Customer Service asking me to resend my order since they could not locate it. Instead of sending the order as they requested, I sent them an email asking them to cancel my order because it is cheaper to order them via Amazon. In addition, I called Walkfit customer service that I was canceling my order and please do not send the products. They told me that it is ok and just send the package back and they will refund me my money. But they did not inform me that they will refund the cost of the product less shipping and handling.
After so many hours of calling, discussing, and emails, they told me that even though it is their fault, their policy will not change. They will refund the cost of the product but not the shipping and handling. Walkfit is deceitful and greedy. Their product is more expensive than buying it from Amazon.com. Walkfit will charge you shipping and handling and do not care whether they screwed up or not. Walkfit charges $30 (insole, shipping and handling), while Amazon charges $19 with free shipping if you have a Prime membership. You can return the product with no questions asked. WALKFIT is not fair to the customers. All they worry about is to sell their product. The customer service people are rude and do not even want to help.
I ordered 3 pr. of inserts @ 19.95 ea - over 2 mo later received just 1 pair. Sent 6 e-mails asking for the 2 pr I did not receive, as well as being charged double the listed price. Never received a reply on the extra charge or the other 2 pr. Recently had my bank call, and on conference call, they denied I ever ordered 3, on the extra charges they said it was for the pads, slippers & shipping.
I ordered a set of orthotics and received them the first of June. I understood the price was $19.95 plus shipping. A pair of slippers was sent at no charge! The bill charged me $19.95 plus $9.95 shipping and $9.95 shipping for the slippers -- for a total of $39.85. I called customer service today, June 16. At first, they were going to credit my account for one shipping charge, then said they could not do that. I told the representative I would like to return them. I was informed that I would not be refunded the shipping charge. Ridiculous! The shipping charge was as much as the item! And it came in a manila envelope! Please do not buy from this company!
I have been using these insets for years and love them. It was the only thing to keep my plantar fasciitis in check. I liked the original better than the platinum as they lasted longer.
I entered my order online, 2 pairs womens size 6 1/2 of the Walkfit Platinum orthotics for $19.95 each. I did not receive an order number, a confirmation not tally prior to processing to detail total costs, taxes (if applicable), shipping and handling and total. The only "confirmation" I received was a sentence that my credit card would not be charged until shipment. I can't upload a receipt because I did not receive one. I called customer service, which was in India, to inquire if in fact my order was received and is being processed, what my total charges were and the details. They were going to charge $9.95 dollars for S&H for each pair!!!! I insisted that I only be charged for only 1 S&H charge for a single shipment comprised of 2 pairs.
A credit was offered and that it would take up to 5 days to process. Ridiculous. Once this was settled I complained about that the online system did not generate a confirmation, a detail of the order and charges, and a receipt. I was told that perhaps 1 out of 100 customers experience this and it may be a computer problem on their end. Really???? I think it's downright shady - as a way to impose additional and bogus charges, i.e. an extra S&H and keep customers in the dark and most won't bother to complain.
I just called and tried to purchase inserts as seen on TV. Once they got my credit card information they just automatically started adding things to my order, even though I was saying no. Ended up calling my credit card company and canceling my card and getting a new one. People beware of this television offer. Someone should go after that doctor that supports them..
Physical therapist advised me to try orthotics because of ankle pain. When I saw the Walkfit Platinums, it felt like an answer to my prayer. So I ordered them weeks ago. They arrived today. The $19.95 orthotics ended up being $29.90 after shipping was added, the "free" gifts added another $17.70 for shipping, and the cushions were $14.95 plus another $4.95 shipping. I immediately called the number on the invoice and I was told to give them away and that they would refund $34.90, but not the shipping charges. Then I was told they would refund $30. I asked what happened to the $34.90. Their final offer was $32.80, which ended up being the exact amount of the shipping charges. I was willing to pay return shipping, but they didn't want them back. I notified my credit card company and requested a total refund of my $67.70.
I saw the advertisement on television and ordered some for my 89 year old father who has leg/back pain. The 1-800 call is very deceiving and has you ordering more products before you know that you have done it. Then, the charge for all the extras. Shipping was $30.00 and that was not stated either. My father wore them for 2 days and he had extreme leg pains and had to be treated for the strain these caused him. When I called to get return authorization the agent (all customer service is in India) kept telling me to keep the product and I would not be charged the additional money. I kept insisting that I wanted my full money back as promised and he knew to say that original shipping costs would not be refunded -- which tells me they know that a good deal of their profit is in the shipping costs which are never mentioned (just "plus shipping and handling"). DO NOT RECOMMEND DEALING WITH THIS DISHONEST COMPANY!!
I purchased 2 pairs of Walkfit inserts, they were very painful and needed to be returned. The ccr said all shipping fees were non refundable. Of course I was not informed of this prior to the purchase. So I was charged $61.80 and will only be refunded $41.80 and that is before the cost of returning the product to them. Just absolutely bad policy and I would recommend to anyone interested in the product to take two things into consideration. Their bad policy on the return as well as the fact that these inserts hurt within minutes of putting them in. I could only use them for about 10 minutes. If you have a problem with your feet DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT, go to a doctor and get inserts that fit your own feet. This was a stupid move on my part and I am paying the price, literally.
I tried wearing the Walkfit insoles and they made my feet ache more than before. I know that when your feet hurt, you hurt all over, but the cure was worse than the original pain.
Upon watching Walkfits TV commercial I called them to see how much shipping would cost for their inserts, three arch pads, peppermint cream, and free slippers offer of $19.99. The phone Rep. lied and said it was $4.99 for shipping. Then after the Rep. asked for my credit card numbers, she told me it was $9.99 for shipping on the above listed items minus the slippers. When I asked about the free slippers the Rep. angrily snapped that she hadn't gotten to that part yet of the offer. Then I out from the Rep. that there's an additional $9.99 shipping on the free slippers plus $9.99 shipping on the inserts. I then cancelled my order. It was a bad and scary experience. This walkfit co. should be reported to the Better Business Bureau!
I RECEIVED THE HOUSE SHOES, BUT AFTER a week the shoes sole came loose from the bottom and the inner part came out.
They just took money out of my account and I had cancelled the order months ago! This is twice now they have done this and the first time they didn't even give me back all of my money!! Whatever you do, do not order from here. They will rip you off!!!!
What type of business has managers who would support an order taker that screwed up an address of a customer, do not contact the customer to find out why their order cannot be delivered? Then when the customer calls to find out where the order is, finds out that a staff member put part of the billing address in the shipping address? Instead of the business offering to expedite the order because of their own screw up instead boldly tells the customer there is NOTHING that can be done other than to reship the order for delivery for 14-21 day delivery. When customer ask why can't the shipment be expedited due to the business mistake, she is arrogantly and ignorantly told that she can have a refund or wait the 14-21 day shipment?
I ordered by phone the walkfit inserts on 8-23-14 and never received them (today's date 9-14-14). Credit card charge $29.90. On 9-27-14 my credit card statement showed a charge for $44.85 from an unknown source. I contacted my credit card company. They have sent me a two page report to fill out. Prior to sending in the report I received a package from walkfit that appears to be a bottle of pills. I have not opened it but pills and charge from a company called Wf Joint support then a package from walkfit with pills. Something is going on. I have today found this site and sent an email to the customer service of walkfit cancelling both orders. I have included a pic of the unopened package. I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
BUYER BEWARE OF 'FREE' GIFTS! The orthotics themselves were okay, the online ordering was confusing in that I thought I was giving the size for my `free' pair and ended up ordering another pair. I just said oh well and wrote that off, because it was a decent price. I received them in a timely fashion along with a 'free' gift of foot lotion and some joint relief pills..this is what the buyer needs to watch. I did not sign up for a 'preferred shopper', they signed me up when I placed order..and apparently this 'free' gift comes with strings. About a month later, I pick up my mail and there's this package of pills with a new charge [that I investigated immediately] on my CC.
After going back and finding the paper work that came with the joint pills [which I certainly hadn't used or was interested in], there's print that says since 'I' signed up for this program that they would be sending me these every two months with recurring charges, if I didn't cancel since this was a (unwanted) free gift, it never occurred to me there were strings attached to it. I just ordered the orthotics to help my achy feet! Moral of this story: even though I am a savvy and frequent shopper, as well as checked out the scams for this company and it's products, I didn't see anything regarding this free gift issue..so here it is folks. Although I like the product, doubt I will ever trust this company again because of this scam attached with their 'free' offer!
Paid for 2 sets of the inserts plus a bottle of foot lotion. Received only one pair. After waiting 4 weeks for my order, I called customer service. They wanted to send out a claim form (2 to 3 weeks) then wait for another 4 weeks to let them decide. I was really mad and tried to resolve it on the phone. Then got a email telling me they shipped my order. That was 2 months ago. They are ripping people off (see complaints site). I would never purchase from this company. It is a scam.

The present application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e) of U.S. provisional application Serial No. 60/643,128, filed on Jan. 12, 2005, entitled "Radial Circuit Board and System," which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to circuit boards and more particularly to circuit boards with radially arrayed components. One specific embodiment is a circuit board with memory components, such as, for example, DRAM chips, radially arrayed around a central point.
Designers of computer circuit boards contend with constraints relating to the length and path of lines connecting the various chips on the circuit board. In many circuit board applications there is a need to have data arrive at various chips at the same time during a data transfer. As the speed and data transfer rates increase and the size of chips decrease, this problem becomes more pronounced. Designers of computer memory boards are particularly hard pressed to assure that the data, address and control lines have uniform length between the memory chips and the various control chips. To ensure that data arrives at one chip in sync with data arriving at other chips, designers are often constrained to design data paths that are not the most direct path.
The present invention relates to circuit boards, and more particularly to circuit boards with radially arrayed components. One specific embodiment is a circuit board module comprising a connector; a plurality of components radially arrayed substantially equidistant around the connector; and an array of equidistant electrical connections positioned between the connector and the components. The components may be memory chips such as DRAM or SRAM. The circuit board module may also comprise at least one input-output device, wherein the array of substantially equidistant electrical connections connects the connector and the input-output device; and a second array of substantially equidistant electrical connections positioned between the input-output device and the components. The control chip may be fully buffered. The input-output device may comprise a plurality of control chips. The circuit board module may further comprise alignment pins positioned on the circuit board module. The connector may comprise a connector with pressure pins or a male/female connector arrayed on the bottom of the circuit board module. The circuit board module may further comprise a pressure pin pad array or a second male/female connector positioned on the top of the circuit board module configured to connect with the pressure pin connector of a second circuit board module.
The circuit board module of the previous embodiment may further comprise a post mechanically connected to a second circuit board with a predetermined cross-sectional shape and the circuit board module may have a center aperture that is congruent with a peripheral edge of the predetermined cross-sectional shape of the post. The center aperture may have a first and second set of electrical contacts at its peripheral edge. The first and second set of electrical contacts may be configured such that when the circuit board is placed over the post so that its aperture is around the post, the first and second electrical contacts detachably connect to each other and provide an electrical connection and mechanical connection for the circuit board to the post. The post may include electrical connections between the second contacts and the second circuit board. This post may also have at least one conduit for the passage of air through it. This conduit may have a first opening for injection of air and at least one opening adjacent to the second set of electrical contacts to allow passage of air from the conduit and over the circular board.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a stackable memory system comprising a circuit board and a plurality of circuit board modules. In this embodiment, the one or more components on the circuit board modules are memory chips. These circuit board modules are adapted to communicate with the circuit board via the connectors on each circuit board module. These circuit board modules may be circular or of any geometric shape. The connectors of this embodiment may comprise a post mechanically connected to the circuit board with a predetermined cross-sectional shape comprising at least one set of electrical contacts and each circuit board module may have a center aperture that is congruent with a peripheral edge of the predetermined cross-sectional shape of the post and with at least one set of electrical contacts in contact with the set of contacts on the post.
Another embodiment of the present invention comprises a circuit board with a circular board with memory chips disposed in a circular array around a center of the circular board, an apparatus for connecting the circular board to another circuit board; an input-output device on the circular board located in a position that is approximately equal distant from each of the memory chips; a first array of equidistant electrical connection lines between the input-output device and the memory chips; and a second array of electrical connection lines between the input-output device and the apparatus for connecting the circular board to the circuit board. The apparatus for connecting the circular board to a circuit board may comprise a post mechanically connected to the circuit board with a predetermined cross-sectional shape; and the circular board having a center aperture that is congruent with a peripheral edge of the predetermined cross-sectional shape of the post. The center aperture may have a first set of electrical contacts and the post having a second set of electrical contacts at its peripheral edge, the first and second set of electrical contacts being configured such that when the circular board is placed over the post so that its aperture is around the post, the first and second electrical contacts detachably connect to each other and provide an electrical connection and mechanical connection for the circular board to the post. The post may provide electrical connections between the second connection and the circuit board. This post may also have at least one conduit for the passage of air through it. The at least one conduit may have a first opening for injection of air and at least one opening adjacent to the second set of electrical contacts to allow passage of air from the conduit and over the circular board.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a circuit board with radially arrayed components. This method may include, for example, the steps of providing a circuit board module with a connector, placing or disposing components radially about the connector, and then electrically connecting the components with the connector. The method may further include, for example, providing a main circuit board with a connector and connecting the main circuit board with the circuit board module. A second circuit board module may also be stacked upon the first circuit board. A third, fourth, and fifth circuit board modules etc. may also be stacked.
One of the primary advantages of the design of the memory board of the present invention is that many, all, or substantially all of the data, address and control lines may be of substantially equal length. This ensures, for example, that each memory chip or component can receive data at nearly the same time without the need to add what would be unnecessary length to the various data paths. One of the more difficult problems in designing a memory board is assuring that the data and the control lines, connected to each memory chip or component, are approximately the same lengths. Maintaining the same length of the data lines is useful, for example, so that during a read or write operations all of the bits of information accessed or saved on the memory chip move over the same distance and arrive at the desired destination at substantially the same time
One embodiment of the present invention is a circular memory board 20, shown in
The circuit boards in these embodiments may be constructed in the same or similar fashion as typical circuit boards. For example, they may be constructed with one or more of various configurations such as multi-layered with alternating conductive layers, conductive paths, and vias between the layers. At least one layer may provide power and ground. These boards may also be fabricated with alternating conductive and prepreg layers. Any type of circuit board may be used as a radial circuit board without deviating from the embodiments of the invention.
Although the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a number of embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made to it without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

About Us
Thanks for taking time to learn more about our North campus. This campus is located in the heart of Medina, Tennessee. This was our second campus to launch as a way to accommodate for growth at Englewood.
We offer two services at 9:30 and 11am. At either service, you can expect live teaching and worship. From the moment you walk through the doors to the time you leave we hope you feel a part of the family and experience the God of the Bible. We are committed to helping you find a place within our church family.
We currently meet at Medina Middle School but are in the process of building a permanent home just a few minutes away!
Attend A Service
Sunday mornings at 9:30 and 11am.
We are currently located at the Medina Middle School. 1300 Medina School Road, Medina, TN 38355.
What To Expect
First things first, we're a fairly casual church. You're welcome to come dressed in whatever way is comfortable to you. To experience a typical Sunday morning, we invite you to check out one of our recent sermons.
Our youth (6th through 12th grade),meets for small group at 9:30 in the school library. Please contact our Youth Minister for more information.
As you first walk in we encourage you to grab some coffee by the entrance to take in with you during corporate worship. If you have questions, stop by our Connect table. Please arrive at least 20 minutes early to ensure yourself a seat. Plus we want to have a chance to chat with you!
We encourage everyone who attends Englewood to join a small group. We believe small groups are the perfect way to further spiritual growth. Our small groups meet at homes Sunday nights.
A friendly face will help you complete a quick registration so that we can enter your child into our system. We will give your child a nametag and you will receive a pick-up tag with a code that corresponds with your child's. Presenting the tag is how you will pick up your child after the service. For more information contact Tabitha Causey.
Building Update
We have a building! Foundation is poured and the walls are setting into place. Just a few weeks ago members from our North Campus came to write scripture on all the beams of the building. We are excited to begin the first steps to getting our permanent home complete!

Baby abduction woman finds parents
A US woman who was kidnapped as a infant 23 years ago says finding her real mother "felt like a dream".
The woman was named Carlina White by her parents but was raised in Connecticut under the name Nejdra Nance. She said: "I'm so happy. At the same time, it's a funny feeling because everything's brand new. It's like being born again."
Carlina was kidnapped in 1987 as a 19-day-old baby after her parents took her to Harlem Hospital with a fever. A woman who was dressed as a nurse abducted the baby and no suspect was ever arrested.
Her distraught parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, feared they would never see their daughter again.
Carlina was raised by an abusive drug addict, she told the New York Post. She said she had long suspected that she was not the woman's real daughter. When she got pregnant herself at 16, she asked her mother for a birth certificate so she could get prenatal care. Her mother could not provide one.
Carlina gave birth to a daughter who is now six and when she recently moved on her own to Atlanta, Georgia, she decided to seek out her birth parents. She enlisted the help of the Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, who contacted Joy White.
"We may have found your daughter," Joy White said the caller told her, with DNA tests later confirming that Nejdra was, in fact, Carlina.
Joy White said: "I'm sitting here and I'm in a daze, thinking, 'Is this for real?' I missed the last 23 years of her life. I have to take it all in, for now just take it day by day."
Carlina White said: "I just never gave up on finding my real mother. I just kept on pushing."

text: I think there can be a middle ground between "really stressful/high pay" and "more rewarding/crummy pay" and honestly I'm at a point in my life where I don't NEED to love what I do or for it to have a purpose. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to those things and I'm blessed to have them in my career - but even though I love it, it is stressful AND it doesn't pay that great. So I think I'd also be perfectly happy with a job where I went in, put in my time, and then went home and lived my life. (I suppose if I actually ever did that I'd get bored and miss it, though, lol.)

In relation to my own area of interest and development i recently contacted Karen Hilliard from Gloucestershire.
Quote form Home page of her website:
My use of brick as a creative medium began in 1993 when I was commissioned to lead a community group to design a site-specific piece of work using Ceramic Brick for Charlton Lane Hospital in Cheltenham. I devise unique creative opportunities to deliver quality collaborative innovative permanent artworks. I work with people in schools, communities, hospitals and other health care settings.
I found that working with un-fired or 'green' brick gave me the creative opportunities and versatility of using a mass of clay to create site-specific work that would otherwise be unachievable in ceramic.
I have experience of collaborating with architects, landscape architects and designers to realise a shared vision and have completed public art commissions for both town and city councils.

What I know for sure: You ALWAYS have the right to end a relationship if it doesn't feel safe to you. You also have the right to define your idea of "safe." This means romantic, friendship, professional, business or any other type of relationship. You are not bound to stay engaged in any relationship out of obligation.
No one has the right to shame you, bully you or vilify you based on your choices.
This also doesn't mean the person you are choosing to disengage with is bad, it simply means it doesn't work for you. However, if you are severing a relationship that is abusive on any level look for resources around that can help you facilitate this. I can not stress this next sentence enough. It is absolutely OK to take care of yourself and make healthy choices for yourself.
If people attack you as a result, remember, it speaks more about them than you. It is not uncommon for abusers to desperately try to continue their pattern of abuse with you. Many times this will present itself through repeated texts, phone calls, attempts at public humiliation on social media sites and abusive or shaming emails. Keep in mind that these tactics are to shame you as well as try to force you to interact with them continuing the cycle and pattern of abuse.
It is also very common for abusers to try to isolate you. They will criticize your support system (friends or family) and to try to manipulate how other people will view you.
Some recommended steps are: document ALL correspondence, contact the moderator of any social media to report online bullying, share what is happening with people around you, and look to a counselors or support group for help. To reinforce a very important truth, You ALWAYS have the right to end a relationship if it doesn't feel safe to you. No one has the right to shame you, bully you or vilify you based on your choices.
Today, I am the captain of my own ship! I hope you are too~

Radiohead Ticket Policy Angers Fans
Fans believe they've fallen victim to "unfair" paperless ticket system.
While Radiohead are usually lauded for their "fan friendly" policies towards pretty much everything, a number of fans have taken issue with the latest method of distributing tickets for the group's upcoming tour. As Classic Rock reports, UK shows are being sold on a paperless system to stop touts from profiteering by charging inflated prices for tickets to sold out shows.
The paperless system allows fans to buy tickets in advance and then gain access to the venue with the card used to pay for the ticket and additional photo ID. However, the tickets are completely non-refundable, which has caused problems for people who wanted to pass tickets onto friends or had bought tickets as presents for others.
Richa Manwani, a doctor who bought Radiohead tickets, has since been told that she'll be on call, meaning that her tickets are useless:
"Only I can redeem the tickets on the night of the event with my credit card and photo ID. This means I have no way of selling them on for face value. Ticketmaster offers a no-refunds policy, which means I have lost my money".
Paul Chambers, who spend almost £300 on tickets, has also had problems: "I can't go due to being away at work. The tickets are in my name and I can't pick them up. My wife isn't keen on going to the concert without me but couldn't anyway due to my name and bank card being on the bill. I would gladly sell them to fans for face value but I can't due to the restrictions".
Ticketmaster has issued the following statement regarding the issue, outlining the terms and conditions of paperless ticketing:
"Terms and conditions relating to the purchase of paperless tickets are clearly outlined to customers at multiple stages during the purchase process, including the initial purchase page, the shipping page and the billing page. Information relating to their purchase of paperless tickets is also conveyed on the confirmation email they receive".
Radiohead have yet to comment.

In fantasy basketball drafts each year, shooting guards are normally some of the more popular picks in the first two rounds. The position tends to score more often and the ideal fantasy two-guards drop around 20 points a game.
Once in awhile, though, a bright star emerges to become a true five-tool shooting guard in fantasy. This season Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz has really stepped up and matured into an everyday starter.
Hayward may not score like some of the bigger names in fantasy, but the former Butler standout does everything else well. The 23-year-old is averaging an impressive 17.2 points this season and he has become a pretty decent scorer. His true value, though, comes from the fact that he is adding 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and one three-pointer per contest. This is a big step up from the 14.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.4 rebounds from last season.
Hayward was drafted to be a low-end two-guard this season, but he has produced like an elite fantasy option. While stars like Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade continue to frustrate fantasy owners with injuries and low shooting percentages, Hayward just keeps filling the box score night after night.
Hayward will continue to be an All-Star quality fantasy guard for the rest of the year. He won't have many 20-point efforts, but he won't put up many zeros across the box score either.

What an absolutely miserable two weeks it has been for the Champions league and La Liga winners. This time it was Valencia leaving the Catalunyans catatonic. Think about it, if Gary Neville had still been in charge, he might have been able to boast of a famous victory, giving a new lease of life to his coaching career. The long and short of it is Atletico are level on points and Real Madrid are just a point behind with a superior goal difference. A very precarious and nerve wracking run of five matches awaits the champs just when it looked like they were going to run away with the title.
Leo Messi scored his 500th goal and his first after 514 scoreless minutes and it was a fabulous one but Diego Alves turned in a stellar display of goalkeeping to keep Barcelona from scoring any more. At the other end, Ivan Rakitic's own goal in the 26th minute and Santi Mina's strike just before the first half ended proved enough for the Che to consign the visitors to their fourth consecutive loss, their third in the league after losing to Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. Check Santi Mina's goal – the Barca defence was in sixes and sevens. There lies the problem.
Barca coach, Luis Enrique seems to have a problem with his bench. No subs when he had Dani Alves, Douglas, Adriano, Aleix Vidal, Marc Bartra, Munir El Haddadi, and Marc Andre ter Stegen to chose from.

"Severely disappointed with regard to my treatment!"
About: Worcestershire Royal Hospital Worcestershire Royal Hospital Worcester WR5 1DD
Posted via NHS Choices
From the moment I stepped through the door at the Worcester Royal Hospital to the moment I was sent to the Birmingham QE for a second opinion
I couldn't believe just how bad mine and other people's treatment was.
I was spoken down to and almost belittled by consultants who didn't take one bit of notice of what I was saying.
I was seen by numerous consultants who couldn't be bothered to read my notes or listen to what i was saying to them.
I got the impression that because I was in my 60's that I didn't know what I was talking about when describing my symptoms and that all they wanted to do was to find me a bed somewhere, didn't matter where, and to get me home asap. I was admitted through A&E and sent to numerous unsuitable wards including Trauma and Orthopaedics because they were (I guess) struggling to find me a bed. One Consultant told me that my problem with my pancreas would heal itself in 7 days. When told them that the problem had been ongoing since April 2015 and asked when would the 7 days healing process actually begin and end just said nothing except I want you to go home tomorrow! I managed to stay for a couple of extra days then gave in because I wasn't receiving satisfactory treatment. I was losing weight, not eating and in pain. I went home for 2 weeks then was readmitted to Worcester via Ambulance with flashing lights and sirens! Straight through A&E and back into the hands of condescending consultants...onto SCDU and actually ended up in HDU for almost a week within hours of my arrival (obviously extremely ill) then onto Beech 1.
After constantly questioning consultants about my treatment (by concerned relatives) and receiving no satisfactory answers, two of my relatives went through my GP and arranged for an urgent second opinion from Birmingham QE. (at that time the Doctors at Worcester were on the verge of sending me home again for a second time)
Hospital Transport was eventually arranged, after constant reminders from relatives and me to Doctors, Nurses and Consultants about my appointment at the QE.
When attending my "outpatient" appointment for the second opinion, and while still being an "inpatient" at Worcester, the consultant at the QE took one look at me and said you are extremely ill and we have a duty of care towards you, you will not return to Worcester Hospital we have to find you a bed here as soon as possible!
I stayed in Worcester Hospital for around 10 days, the first time I was admitted, and I saw several people being virtually ejected from their beds before receiving satisfactory treatment and being sent home still very ill because they were struggling to find beds for new patients.
I will not be recommending Worcester Hospital to anyone I know!
Nurses, Health Care Assistants and Housekeepers at Worcester Hospital were very caring, smiling and helpful and for that reason only Worcester receives one very lonely star from me!!!
Once I'm feeling better I will be placing an official complaint through PALS
Response from Worcestershire Royal Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us. I am so sorry to read of your experience and treatment with us at Worcester Royal, it is very disappointing; no patient should be treated this way. I would like to reassure you that we take seriously any issues our patients and families raise with us and would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention.
You can contact our Patient Services Department on 0300 123 1732 or email firstname.lastname@example.com when you are ready and we can arrange for you to speak to a senior member of staff or investigate this further for you.
Best Wishes

Employees have different backgrounds, experiences, and work styles, so it's natural that they aren't always going to see eye-to-eye. Most of the time, employees can resolve conflicts on their own, or with the help of a supervisor. But, if conflict continues, it can be helpful to bring an impartial person into the conversation – a mediator.
HR's informal, voluntary, and confidential mediation program, "Point of View," helps employees resolve workplace conflicts and strengthen workplace relationships. Informal mediation is really just a conversation. The mediator facilitates the conversation, making sure each employee has a chance to share his or her perspective. With the help of the mediators, employees brainstorm possible solutions, and if they make decisions about how to move forward, the mediators create a written summary. Informal mediation can help improve communication, clear up misunderstandings, and result in solutions that meet everyone's needs.
If you are interested in learning more about "Point of View," contact us at (520) 626-0850 or email@example.com.
During informal mediation, an impartial mediator (i.e., someone with no stake in the issue) sits down with people experiencing conflict and helps them come up with solutions. With the help of the mediator, each person gets to share his or her "point of view" uninterrupted. The mediator doesn't decide who is right or wrong; instead, the mediator helps people understand what's behind the conflict and brainstorm options to solve it. If the participants are able to come up with their own solutions to the conflict, the mediator helps draft a written summary, a copy of which each participant receives.
The UA uses a co-mediation model, with a mediator from HR and a volunteer mediator from the campus community. The mediators reflect the diversity of the University, with mediators who are faculty, appointed professionals, and classified staff. All of the mediators have participated in mediation training.
Informal mediation is a voluntary process. For the mediation to take place, all employees must agree to participate. Supervisors can't require their employees to participate in informal mediation.
If an employee is interested in informal mediation, he or she will speak to the Point of View Program Manager about the situation. If the situation is eligible for informal mediation, the Program Manager will contact the other employee(s) involved and ask if they are willing to participate. If everyone is willing to participate, the Program Manager will schedule the informal mediation and assign mediators.
Mediation is confidential, with a couple of exceptions. If an employee alleges that another University employee has discriminated against him or her, the mediators are required to report that information to the Office of Institutional Equity. Additionally, if a mediator believes there is the potential for harm to self or others, the mediator must report that information.
Before participating in informal mediation, employees must sign an Agreement to Participate in Informal Mediation. As part of this agreement, employees agree to maintain confidentiality of information shared during the mediation process.
The above lists are not exclusive. Please consult the "Point of View" Program Manager at (520) 626-0850 or firstname.lastname@example.com to determine if informal mediation is an option.
For more information, please consult our frequently asked questions.

Energy for the Future
A dedication ceremony celebrating the SUNY-ESF carbonate fuel cell
Held February 21, 2006,
Bray Hall,
SUNY-ESF Campus
Hosted by the New York Power Authority, the
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, and
SUNY-ESF was the site of a dedication ceremony for the college's carbonate fuel cell. The ceremony was held February 21 on the college campus.
Officials from the New York Power Authority and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority joined ESF President Cornelius B. Murphy, Jr. in dedicating the fuel cell, which drives a fuel cell-based combined heat and power system that provides on-site power generation. The waste heat from the fuel cell is used for domestic hot water, space heating or space cooling on the campus.
NYPA and NYSERDA provided funding to assist the college's acquisition of the fuel cell.

Who is Charlotte Winkel?
When Brad and I were looking for a celebrant for our own Queenstown wedding, we struggled to find someone young and who we felt we could relate to. I already had a love of writing, experience public speaking , a passion for weddings, and a wealth of local Queenstown knowledge. So I registered as a celebrant to give other couples the option for a young celebrant, and a wedding ceremony with a difference.
When it comes to weddings I'm passionate about marrying not just two people but their personalities and lifestyles, and telling their unique story. No two couples are the same, and so no two wedding ceremonies are the same. My vision for you is a wedding ceremony that's personal, and ticks all the legal boxes, in a fun and engaging way.
You already know that I'm an independent marriage celebrant and wedding blogger (Your Big Day Wedding Blog).
Here's 10 things you might not know about me:
- Brad and I had our own Queenstown wedding in January 2016 at Trelawn Place Guest House
- On our honeymoon I won over $200 playing blackjack in Las Vegas, but then Brad lost is all playing poker!
- We have two fur babies: a friendly border collie called Marley (after Bob Marley), and a cheeky tabby cat called Floyd (after Pink Floyd)
- I love writing and have had many articles published in various newspapers, newsletters, magazines and blogs
- I'm a long-term member and Vice President of Education for the Queenstown Toastmasters Club
- I'm also a member of the Queenstown Wedding Association, Queenstown Chamber of Commerce and the Celebrants Association of New Zealand
- You can often find me out amongst the beautiful Queenstown scenery walking the dog, skiing, or mountain biking
- But I'm equally likely to be on the couch binge watching Netflix and scoffing popcorn
- I practice yoga regularly after I found it helped me de-stress when we were planning our own Queenstown wedding
- And I love to cook and bake and I make the best ever chocolate fudge cake!
What is a Marriage Celebrant?
A marriage celebrant is someone appointed by the New Zealand registrar to officially conduct marriage ceremonies in New Zealand. The basic responsibilities of the celebrant role is to present the legally required elements of a marriage ceremony and register the marriage with the New Zealand Registrar.
What I love about being a marriage celebrant is meeting loved up couples from all over the world and helping them create a wedding ceremony experience that is completely unique to them as a couple. Your wedding day is all about you and I'm here to help you put your own stamp on your big day.
As your celebrant I will:
- Create and deliver a personalised wedding ceremony, just for you
- Give guidance on how to write your own wedding vows and provide examples if you wish
- Help you apply for your New Zealand Marriage License to make it super easy
- Help you obtain your New Zealand Marriage Certificate so that it's through your letter box within a few weeks after your ceremony
- Make personalised recommendations for other wedding industry suppliers and vendors that fit your personal style and budget
- And always be available for questions on anything Queenstown or wedding related
How does it all work?
Choosing a celebrant for your wedding day is an important personal decision. You want to shop around and choose a celebrant who you feel comfortable with and "fits" with you.
If you'd like to work with me for your wedding day, I'd be so thrilled! Here are the next steps to take…
- Contact me today to check my availability
- We will arrange a time to talk- either in person, on the phone or via Skype or Face Time. This is an opportunity for me to learn more about your wedding plans and ideas so far, and for you to ask me any questions Queenstown or wedding related
- I will then send you my booking confirmation form and deposit request needed to secure your booking
- Once your booking is confirmed the fun really starts!

For those of you who don't know, "shipping," occurring within fandoms, describes the act of desiring two (or more) characters together in a romantic and/or sexual fashion, rooting for the progress of their relationship. Don't make the mistake of not taking this seriously. Some shippers don't mess around. When two popular pairings conflict, the results can be catastrophic. Think Alien vs. Predator. Godzilla vs. Mothra. Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda.
These Ship Wars have ravaged several video game franchises. Here's a closer look at 6 of the most infamous examples.

Kalou strikes late on
Salomon Kalou scored a late winner to seal a 1-0 win at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy that broke the hearts of visiting Guingamp.
Last Updated: 30/03/14 6:48pm
Substitute Salomon Kalou scored a stoppage-time winner to seal a 1-0 win at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy that broke the hearts of visiting Guingamp.
With the game seemingly petering out towards a goalless draw, the former Chelsea man came off the bench to hammer home his 11th goal of the season and inflict a second straight Ligue 1 defeat on Jocelyn Gourvennec's men.
For large parts of the match, the hosts seemed the more likely to break the deadlock, but for an inspired display from Vincent Enyeama, and in the end Lille secured the win which moved them within six points of second-placed Monaco.
Despite dominating early on Lille struggled to break down a disciplined Guingamp side but, with 20 minutes played, the hosts had a strong penalty claim turned down when Moustapha Diallo barged Marvin Martin in the back.
The men in red continued to press and Simon Kjaer went close with a powerful header from Martin's corner before the Lille's number 10, making his first start since mid-January, saw an effort of his own finish up in the stands.
Lille seemed to lack any real urgency in the final third but Rene Girard's men almost broke the deadlock as half-time approached when Djibril Sidibe cut inside before drilling an awkward shot at goal which Mamadou Samassa saved.
Guingamp seemed invigorated after a 15-minute rest and, if not for Enyeama in the Lille goal, the visitors could have scored twice soon after the restart.
Moustapha Yatabare first failed to beat the Nigerian keeper, who turned his effort away, before Claudio Beauvue's superb delivery found Fatih Atik at the far post but once again, Guingamp were denied by Lille's number one.
Spurred on by those chances, Guingamp continued to look dangerous and finally managed to beat Enyeama when Christophe Mandanne rounded the Nigerian on the hour mark.
The striker looked poised to open the scoring, but Kjaer got back superbly to deny him.
With Lille seemingly bereft of ideas, the visitors looked to capitalise and Yatabare went close again when he burst into the right side of the penalty area but the Mali international was unlucky to see his effort shave Enyeama's crossbar.
Then, deep into stoppage time, disaster struck for Guingamp when Marco Basa headed Ryan Mendes' corner into the path of Kalou and he hammered home from close range to claim a valuable three points.

Smiling with Adam Silverman. I met Adam years ago when he was a co-founder of the X-Large store in Los Angeles. A graduate of RISD in architecture, which he did for a few years, he also worked on ceramics at the same time. He left the clothing industry, and decided to pursue his hobby of pottery. He'd probably classify himself as just starting since his pottery career began in 2002, but his work look masterful. One great fact about Adam's efforts is that he's branching the worlds of a generation of "kids" who are into clothing, art, and design with a venerable ceramics brand. We'll see how this next phase of his career and Heath's brand steps into a new future.
Here's a sample of Adam's personal work that's available at Heath. There's plenty of it throughout the shop. I like his glaze technique.
Who knew he made hanging lights!
