Hello everyone!
I have an idea for my 9th grade physical science class. We just finished a chemistry based PBL and I want to do it again with physics. I want my students to construct a 3-D model or design a roller coaster with their knowledge they obtain during the Forces and Energy portion of the class. I am need of engineers or roller coaster designers for authentic, expert contacts.
If you know of anyone who'd be willing, please let me know. Or if you could just get the word out, that'd be awesome too!

Permalloy films in the thickness range 5…40 Å are evaporated at about 10−5 Torr and investigated by the torque method. In the thinner films there is a marked easy direction perpendicular to the film plane. Since just in these films the magnetization is thermally very instable, it is difficult to saturate the torque amplitude. The inverse shape anisotropy is evidently due to a surface effect. The maximum torque depends on the measuring field in a manner, which is typical for an anisotropy of the intergrain coupling; hence this coupling is essentially due to magnetostatic forces.

Guy Fieri may not realize it, but being ravaged by a New York Times restaurant reviewer might have been the best thing that could have happened to him.
Entertainment | Celebrity
Guy Fieri takes his lashings, but was it fair?
New York Times reviewer gave the Food Network star's NYC restaurant the first ever no-star (and "poor") rating
- Image Credit: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP

Sure, the Food Network celebrity probably laments the lashings Pete Wells doled out this week to his 500-seat Times Square ode to down home grub, Guy's American Kitchen & Bar. And he might have taken it personally when Wells said the restaurant's bahn mi resembles the authentic Vietnamese sandwich "about as much as you resemble Emily Dickinson."
Even the upshots of Wells' review probably were tough to take. Such as, "The well-meaning staff seems to realize that this is not a real restaurant." Or this gem, in which Wells references what he says were the best cocktails on the menu: "Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?"
Well, perhaps "best thing" that could have happened is too generous. But it may well turn into a good thing. And it certainly is a survivable thing. Here's why.
I'll be the one to say it - people who care about food, and people who heed the Times' reviews, were never going to eat there. Never. And Fieri knew this, or at least he should have.
You don't build a three-story monstrosity of a restaurant smack in the tourism heart of New York with the goal of attracting people looking for great dining. And you certainly don't fill your menu with things called Chinatown chicken crunch, unyawns Cajun chicken ciabatta and Vegas fries if your goal is to impress with your culinary chops.
People go to the restaurant, which opened earlier this fall, for an experience. Somewhat comically, that experience has morphed into a game of, "Is it really that bad?"
It's a question that burned on the web within minutes of Wells' review going viral Tuesday night, and undoubtedly will drive traffic to his tables. Even Fieri's fellow Food Network stars were jumping on that train. "I am planning on visiting Guy Fieri's NYC eatery this weekend because it can't be as bad as all those snooty New Yorkers say," tweeted Alton Brown, adding the hashtag "wishmeluck."
And maybe it doesn't matter if it is that bad. When your business model is based on tourists, you're not talking a lot of frequent-flyer customers anyway.
Of course, Fieri does indeed take issue with Wells' thrashing. Though he has acknowledged that the review gave him some things to think about, he stands by his restaurant's food and service.
"At my restaurants, we always try to live by a very simple notion: that food brings people together," Fieri said in an emailed statement. "I've learned that not everyone agrees with my style. The Times' critic, Pete Wells, clearly did not enjoy his experience. I normally do not respond to reviews or critics, however, given the tone of Pete's piece, it's clear to me that he went into my restaurant with his mind already made up.
"That's unfortunate. I take comments from patrons, fans and visitors very seriously, and if there is ever a problem with our service, I'll fix it," he said.
Wells, who visited Fieri's restaurant four times before honoring it with his first ever no-star (and "poor") rating since taking over as the Times' restaurant critic a year ago, denies any agenda.
"I did go in hoping there would be good things on the menu. I would have liked to write the 'man-bites-dog' review," he told Margaret Sullivan, the Times' public editor.
The reality is, that doesn't much matter, either. There is a serious element of everyman sympathy at play in this one, no matter how un-everyman Fieri has become. In plenty of food world circles, the Wells-Fieri slapfest is being billed as the hoity toity Times beating up on the blue-collar guy who just loves him a good feed of beer and wings.
Fieri stands to benefit - certainly among the legions of fans who have propelled him to rock star status in and out of the food world - from this bad review in the same way Marilyn Hagerty benefited from the equally viral good review she gave to an Olive Garden restaurant in North Dakota earlier this year.
When Hagerty heaped glowing praise on the at best mediocre offerings of the chain restaurant, instead of drawing sniggers, she got equally glowing praise heaped right back at her. Not because she was right about the food at Olive Garden - she wasn't - but because she was an 85-year-old lady and it was kind of quaint in an innocent, all-American sort of way. Telling her she's wrong about that awful food would be practically un-American.
And she's done pretty well for herself, locking down a book deal with Anthony Bourdain's imprint over at HarperCollins.
Fieri will come out of this much the same. OK, probably not with a Bourdain book deal (they aren't exactly best buds). But plenty of people will give him a sympathetic nod, buying the idea that he was treated unfairly.
Was he? Not really. It certainly was a scathing review delivered in a sucker punch fashion. But I don't buy the argument that Wells shouldn't have reviewed it, either because the restaurant was so bad it didn't warrant a review, or because the very nature of the place (and the man behind it) places it outside the league of "real" restaurants that merit reviews.
To accept those arguments is to accept that the food served to Average Joes and Janes isn't worthy of criticism, and that it shouldn't be held to higher standards. Fieri has built his career touting the foods of everyday America. If that's what he's going to serve in his restaurant, it seems only fair that he be held to answer for the quality of that food.

They treated us like family right from the very start!! Prices were very affordable, and the staff was so friendly and kind. Some places it's all about the $$$, these people care!! Highly recommend!!
Small, but friendly by scoob - 03/03/2013
I just wanted to saw thank you to the doctors and the staff at Animal Clinic North! I was new in the area last year, so I went to the cloest vet to my house on 136th for an ear infection with my yorkie (cost a fortune). Soon after, I tried vaccines for my cat on 124th & Wash. ( Beautiful place, but again- pricey). I decided to price shop to spay my Shih tzu, and not only did I save hundreds, these people are so caring, and and friendly. They genuinely love my animals. What a great experience! I cannot say enough about this little place.. Tina
Dog Attack by elisa - 03/03/2013
My dog was attacked by two other dogs and even though this vet's office does not normally take walk-ins. They allowed me to come running through the front door, stitched my dog back up, and inserted drains in him that had to stay for two weeks. Now three months later, the hair is growing back and you can't even tell that he was such a mess and so beat up! That you to the doctors, thank you to the compassionate staff, and thank you for allowing me to afford all of that! Elisa
Sadness by Com'on! - 07/08/2012
Have been going to this vet since I got my dog when I was 13. In 2010 my 20lb dog required ACL surgery, the surgery went great, however, my dog was supposed to be in a soft cast for a week while his 6 inch incision healed I woke up one morning to him having chewed off part of his soft cast and had ripped out one of the staples and his leg swelled, took him back into the office for an emergency visit where they then looked at me like I was stupid because I had allowed him to chew the soft cast and told me I should have left the cone on. The problem with this is that they hadnt even given me a cone! When I told them this they then said that I should have recieved one.They then had to remove the soft cast, and clean the wound and put the forgotten cone around his head, which they then tried to charge me for. The next day, early in the morning I came home from work on my lunch, only to discover that with the cone he had been given, he not only licked his incision raw, but had ripped out every staple holding his leg together. Dr. Berggren, one of the actual vet's there, gave me the WRONG size cone. I then had to rush him back to the vet that morning, and have them not only clean but also restaple his poor little leg. Please, their prices are less expensive than other places, but they do not have any attention to detail. Also they are quick to charge you with whatever they can, if they cannot, they try to get you out of the establishment as quickly as possible. I will not be going back, as of recent events with this place.

I've been going to this vet for a very long time. I love them. They are great to all of my animals!! Thank you very much for everything that you do!!!
Great Vets! by Robin - 10/18/2011
Dr Sanders and Dr. Berggren are great to work with knowledgable, compasionate. They are affordable. Staff is great as well.
review by mike - 11/04/2010
Recently, we had to make the very difficult decision to end our dog's suffering - not at all an easy thing, but Dr. Berggren and his staff were compassionate, patient, and respectful. We appreciate them and are thankful for their kindness and professionalism. We recommend this animal clinic highly. They provide honest, compassionate care.
Animal Clinic - North review by Cindi - 07/19/2010
This is not a fancy office, so you won't be paying an arm and a leg like you do at another facility nearby. I experienced straightforward, honest, communication and good pet care. And their prices are very reasonable - no ouch when the bill came, loaded with a lot of services I didn't need, and an unpleasantly high office visit charge.
Not so great by Shanti F - 03/11/2010
I have taken my dog there for many years, and seen Dr Berggren who is WONDERFUL, but for the past couple years I have only been able to get in with Dr Sanders. I don't care for her use of large medical terminology, and not explaining what things mean. Her "hoity toity" bedside manner leaves much to be desired, and I always feel belittled when I leave that office after seeing her. I will not be returning to that veterinary office.

Can you believe it's that time of the year again? Hello, Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour madness! For the past few months, you have probably driven past cyclists along the Cape Peninsula – Wynberg Hills, Misty Cliffs, Chapman's Peak, Suikerbossie hill … to name just a few! With five days to go until the biggest cycling event of the year, on Sunday 10 March, cyclists are gearing up this week for the final countdown. While training is important, it is probably too late to pack in the extra kilometres now if you have not been cycling consistently.

Pumps are a lot like mules – they do a lot of heavy, dirty work, but require some type of oversight and supervision in order to get the job done. The majority of pumps have some type of computerized system in place that dictate motors, directional flow, shut-offs, filtration, and more. Since the majority of water and sewage pumps have a high flow rate, computer systems that are capable of controlling both starters and motors are a must. Systems located in urban areas may often increase or decrease flow and filtration depending upon demand, so most computer systems are also sophisticated enough to offer variable controls that can be tweaked based on estimated or actual usage.
When choosing a system to use for controlling your pump, it's important to keep in mind the size of your pump, and also how much demand will be placed upon it. Large pumps that are only used sporadically may not require the same type of pump controls system that a smaller, yet more frequently used pump would.
If you're unsure as to which computer system would be best for your water or sewage pump, it's best to have a reputable company come out to assess your pump and make appropriate recommendations.
This time of year is a time to be thankful for the people who are in your life, the opportunities you receive and other things you consider important. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, a day to be appreciative and spend it with family (for those who celebrate it, of course).
I made a list last year of things that had happened during the year that made me feel appreciative. I decided to continue the tradition and share the things I'm thankful for this year.
- Family: I've always been a family-oriented person and I appreciate all the sacrifices they've had to make to achieve and get better things for me and my sister. Things aren't always easy, but I know that I can always count on them.
- My dogs: Without my three furry friends, I don't know what I would do. They make me smile every day and instantly cheer me up whenever I have a bad day.
- My fiancé: My very-soon-to-be husband (in less than a month) is the most important person in my life and I am so thankful that I got to meet such an amazing person. I can't imagine sharing my life with someone else and I'm so glad that I will embark on a new journey with him as husband and wife.
- Self-Improvement: This year's focus has been to reinvent myself and find new methods to deal with my anxiety. I choose not to let anxiety rule my life and make it unbearable. I've found new and have re-discovered some hobbies that definitely help me stay calm and focused. By setting a goal of becoming a better version of myself every day, it becomes a challenge I welcome with enthusiasm. It's not only about my mental health, it's everything. Mind, body and soul.
- Future Endeavors: There are several exciting things planned for 2015 and it's my mission for them to be successful.
I am going to take the time and enjoy Thanksgiving with my family and forget about all the commercial overload stores are manipulating us with, like Black Friday deals and such. Where people stop spending time with family just so they can camp out at their favorite store hours and hours before and get deal.
Hope everybody has a great day tomorrow! What are your plans?

Pregnant Kate Middleton at the Queen's 60th Anniversary
All Eyes Are on Kate Middleton on the Queen's 60th Coronation Anniversary
Kate Middleton put her growing baby bump on display when she attended a service celebration for the queen's 60th coronation anniversary in London today. Kate wore a nude Jenny Packham dress and matching coat, as well as her trusty L.K.Bennett heels, as she entered Westminster Abbey alongside Prince William and Prince Harry, who met up again after attending a bachelor party together in London on Saturday night. While the queen's actual 60th anniversary was on Sunday, the royal family decided to celebrate that day with a small private ceremony and save the public service for today. However, the 60th anniversary hasn't been without public fanfare, as England has been celebrating the queen's Diamond Jubilee since February 2012.
Following the queen's celebration, Prince Harry broke from the rest of the royals to unveil a plaque stationed outside Westminster Abbey, which commemorates William and Kate's royal wedding. Additionally, today may mark one of Kate's last public engagements before she gives birth in July, as it was recently reported that Kate Middleton will go on maternity leave on June 14. Her last solo event will take place on June 13, when she will christen a cruise ship.

Morris-dancing benefit cheat caught on film
Last updated at 10:53, Saturday, 19 July 2014
A former teacher who claimed to be virtually unable to walk has been exposed as a morris-dancing benefits cheat.
Allan Baldwin pocketed £30,000 to which he wasn't entitled on the highest possible rate of Disability Living Allowance.
But, despite claiming he was dogged by mobility problems, the 67-year-old was fit enough to jig with the north Cumbria-based Solway Morris Group.
Video footage of him performing with the traditional dancers was released as he was prosecuted by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
And, in it, he had no problem moving as he completed a short routine, skipping and spinning around while waving handkerchiefs.
The recording proved that while his role with the Solway Morris Group was primarily that of a musician, he also took part in the dancing.
Investigators also discovered that various events he would have taken part in, including those throughout Cumbria, would have involved him walking for several miles.
Baldwin, of Peacock Place, Lockerbie, worked as a teacher at Annan Academy before taking early retirement for health reasons.
At Preston Crown Court yesterday, he avoided being jailed.
He had admitted falsely claiming more than £28,000 in disability benefits between 2008 and 2013 at a previous hearing.
Baldwin was sentenced to a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
Speaking afterwards, Jane Baker, the DWP's fraud manager in the north west, said: "It is our duty to ensure that benefit payments go to those who really need them and we are committed to cracking down on those who play the system.
"It is unfair that some people get support when they do not have a disability, while many people depend on the benefits system to provide a safety net."
And in a warning to others, she added: "Deliberately not informing us of a change in your condition that may affect your claim is a crime. Don't wait for our fraud investigators to find you. Tell us of a change now."
The court was told that Baldwin had originally been correctly claiming benefits after suffering heart attacks and being considered for a heart transplant. But when his condition improved, he did not tell the authorities.
A judge was told Baldwin continues to suffer health problems for which he takes a large amount of medication.
He has also previously been dealt with by the courts in Scotland for falsely claiming £25,000 of benefits.

My sister had a c section on the 24th and was discharged from the hospital yesterday. All of a sudden she had horrible pain in her legs and then they just went numb she cant walk or feel anything from the waist down. She has lupus also. Has anyone been through a situation like this or know of someone who has? And if so what was the outcome? Did they walk again? Im so worried about her and just want her home healthy.
28th Jan '13
it could be nerve damage.
If it is then it will usually resolve over time.
I hope she regains feeling!!! Good luck!!!

And this is one problem when nice jets like this become affordable to all. Anyone that wants a je gets one. Then you see all the weird videos popping up that could be anything from builder error, wrong CG, or just plain pilot error. Just because you can hover a piece of foam is by no means a license to fly a 150 mph jet. Different set of skills needed to build and fly one of these. Not that its hard, its just different than a foam park flyer or Heli.

Habu32 ESC Cooling Trick
OK, well I had this old Jeti77Opto+ ESC and wanted to run it since I am pulling 66AMPS at full wide open on 6S. For my maiden and 2nd flight the ESC cut out during flight, wouldn't restart and forced a few quick landings.
I took the plane home and used a Dremel to cut out a rectangle in the fiberglass intake, just the same size as the heatsink for the ESC and used (micro balloons) epoxy to create an airtight thick seal. I took the plane to the field on a very hot day and made 3 flights with no cut outs at all. This worked pretty well, thank you Ron (Apollo Field) for the advice. Here's a quick picture of where I glued the vented ESC in the fuselage. This puts it right in the air path for the intake and did the trick! |

hey guys
I'm only halfway done reading this thread so forgive me if I repeat someone. I noticed that it is easier to get these wheel bushings in if you remove the blade from an xacto knife in use it as an " installation tool". this way you can tap it in with a hammer. |

Good idea on the controller install Lebdog.....thanks.
My Habu has been sitting in the corner finished and waiting for a replacement CC 100 HV. Decided to use one of the new CC 120HV controllers which I just received from Castle. I figured the little bit of weight difference between the 100 and the 120 would not be a big deal in the HAbu and I surely would not need to worry about over taxing the controller. I will be installing the controller under the battery tray. So my Habu maiden will be this coming week. |

I flew mine today for the first time with Tams struts installed and what a difference they make The airplane handles so much better in the grass its not even funny. I drilled my bushings out with a 5/32 bit(drill press) and then pressed in a piece of brass tubing that fit the axles perfect. Now I have a half decent bushing that run really smooth. Im probably going to buy Tams wheels eventually but will see how these hold up. Batteries seem to be breaking in as well cause it seems to be hauling the mail now Overall I couldnt be happier with this jet! It really is so much fun to fly

What do you mean unrealized? Netflix already got ransomed, and they paid the ransom. The whole fast lane proposal they were trying to get through the FCC was so they could do more of that more easily. The only part unrealized is the part where they charge you specifically more for Netflix access - which they deemed unnecessary because it was easier to just raise your monthly rate, set bandwidth caps fairly low, and then upsell you on an even more expensive plan, but the double charge of you and the website - that's realized.
AOL sucked, but they were totally legit. They competed fairly and went down fairly. They didn't sneakily throttle your service, sue competitors, get laws passed to block competition, nor ransom high-bandwidth websites that were supposed to be part of your monthly service. Today's big ISPs are a totally different story, and most people didn't really paid attention until they asked for fast lines.
I think you are confusing regulating greed with eliminating greed.
Systems like communism that rely on eliminating greed don't work. Systems like capitalism that regulate greed by allowing smart greedy work to rewarded within the confines of the system (and update the rules of the system when necessary) work just fine.
A lot has changed since 1998. Just look at yourself - you're reading news on the Internet instead of a print newspaper or TV. The amount that people communicate on the Internet and the amount of content they watch is on a whole different level than it was back then. Smartphones are a big part of this change. If there's a community w/o Internet, people worry about how that community is getting behind.
Well, the Republicans have voiced their support to overturn it, so if they keep control of both chambers of Congress and grab the presidency, that could very well happen.
Well, Comcast sued in the past too when FCC directed them not to mess w/ traffic, so they can't really blame Verizon. However, the Open Internet rules that Verizon was challenging is one that Comcast agreed to abide by for 7 years from the time of the MSNBC merger, so they probably just didn't want their competitors to get the jump on them.
Actually, in Google's letter to the FCC, one of the reasons they support classifying ISPs as an utility is because it gives them equal access to utility poles to run their lines. Although hundreds of ISPs doesn't make sense, there is certainly space for more similar to the cellular space, if the rules weren't so bent in favor of the near monopolies. So like you, I support the decision, but the way I view it differs a little.
Last year, Softcard bribed me - cash, Amazon gift cards, etc. to use their service.
This year, they stopped, and I went back to swiping my credit card.
The problem is that Softcard payment requires more steps than you think:
1) Unlock phone
2) Open app
3) Type in 4-digit pin (why can't I use my fingerprint?)
4) Tap
Also, the tap is not as easy as you think. The first time you do it like the video, it probably won't work. On my S5, the sweet spot is actually in the middle of the phone horizontally across middle of NFC reader, and once I figured that out, I usually succeeded on the first try. However, some card readers just suck and will frequently require multiple tries. Rite Aid card readers, before they stopped accepting it, were the most likely to have this problem (and it was always the same ones at particular registers that gave me trouble).
The way it SHOULD work is that I put my phone over the NFC reader, it asks me for fingerprint, and done. Reality bites.
Radio Shack has historically aggressively sued anyone who uses "Shack" in their name, incl. AutoZone, which used to be Auto Shack. Most companies don't want to spend the money to fight them and just change their name.
Where's my drone delivery?
There are local computer shops that sell barebones kits (assembly included) that do pretty well too. I agree that Radio Shack just sort of straddled the line and ended up doing nothing well.
Sears/Kmart and JCPenney can have a race.
That said, those are the go-to places for deals right now. JCPenney has reverted to mailing $10 off $10 coupons, and Sears just recently reined in many of their out-of-control coupons.
So I take it their Superbowl commercial last year didn't save them?

Siltronic to cut 350 Portland jobs |
| Print | |
Must Reads | |||
Friday, March 16, 2012 | |||
Siltronic will cease production this Fall at one of its two Portland fabs, because of the semiconductor industry's increasing reliance on bigger, more efficient silicon wafers. The plant remains the sole U.S. outpost for Munich-based Siltronic AG and will continue to produce 200-millimeter silicon wafers. But the work from its aging 150-mm line will shift to a German factory, leaving 350 Portland workers without jobs. Demand for such wafers, used in electronic devices, has declined as large technologies turn to options twice as large. Although a handful of chip companies rely on Siltronic's smaller wafers, its potential market is shrinking as technology advances. And upgrading the Portland waterfront site could top $1 billion, the company has said. Read more at OregonLive.com. {biztweet}siltronic{/biztweet}

What does prime rate mean?
Dear Dollar Diva,
I'm considering refinancing my mortgage and my mortgage company gave me the option of getting a second mortgage with a "prime rate plus 2 percent." I don't want a loan that has a rate that doesn't stay the same.
We've been in our home for four years, and I also can't seem to get my mortgage company to tell me how much equity I have built up.
I'm just looking for a way to get enough money to build a garage and pay off credit cards.
Prime rate is a common benchmark for consumer and business loans set by banks, usually at a level 3 percentage points higher than the Fed funds rate. If the prime rate is 8 percent; prime plus 2 would be an interest rate of 10 percent (8 + 2).
The prime rate fluctuates in lock step with the federal funds rate -- the rate that the Federal Reserve sets. The Fed will increase the fed funds rate to slow down the economy, and lower the fed funds rate when the economy needs a boost. Whenever you see headlines that say "Fed cuts interest rates," the prime rate will follow within a day or two. See this Bankrate.com chart for a look at the historic range of the prime rate and its relation to other interest rates.
The type of loan your banker is offering is a variable-rate home equity line of credit (HELOC). HELOCs are usually tied to the prime rate, so when the prime rate changes, so will your monthly payment.
If variable rates aren't for you, you can also borrow against your home equity either with a fixed-rate home equity loan, or with a fixed-rate refinanced mortgage. Use Bankrate's free, objective research to find mortgage rates and home equity loan rates in your area.
Your mortgage company
The Diva doesn't know what mortgage company you're using, but wonders why you'd want to do further business with them if they won't talk to you. Reputable lenders give you the information you request; and if they don't have it, they'll help you find it.
To find your equity balance, you need to know two things: the current market value of your home and the amount you owe on your mortgage. You can get a rough idea of the current market value by watching home sales in your neighborhood and talking to real estate professionals; to get a precise value, you'll need to get an appraisal. To get the current amount you still owe on your mortgage, use this calculator. You'll need to remember how much you borrowed and when you took out the loan. Use the amortization table with the calculator to arrive at your current balance, then subtract that number from your current market value, and you've got a rough idea of your equity.
Sucking cash out of your home
Now that I've told you how to do what you want to do, here's why you shouldn't do it at all. The Diva strongly advises you to mend your spending habits before you tap your equity.
Your home is not a money tree. It's a place for you to live now and a place for you to build equity so that 30 years from now you'll have a free place to live. With a home, the ordinary person can retire with some dignity, even if the Social Security system crashes. Your home is your castle; treat it with respect.
You've already OD'd on plastic to pay for things you wanted but couldn't afford in the past. The Diva urges you to not chip away at your future to pay for those past sins. And not to build a garage until you can afford to.
"Payment push" to get rid of credit card debt
What you need to focus on now is getting rid of debt, not piling on more of it. The Diva's "payment push" plan of debt reduction works like this:
Cut all nonessential spending to the bone.
Bring in whatever extra money you can by moonlighting, working overtime, selling stuff you don't need and collecting money people owe you.
Open a savings account and get into the habit of saving something every pay period for emergencies. If you can't save $100, save $10; if you can't save that, save $2.
Make minimum payments and you'll be in debt forever. Instead, continue making the same payments on your credit cards each month, even though they're more than the minimum.
Use all other extra money from belt-tightening, tax refunds, raises, bonuses, moonlighting and any other source to pay down the credit card with the highest interest rate.
Once the credit card with the highest interest rate is paid off, shift the "payment push" to the credit card with the next-highest interest rate. And so on until they all disappear.
Once the debt is gone, you'll have plenty of cash left over to build up savings and position yourself to refinance your mortgage. Only this time it won't be to suck equity out of the house; it will be to get a better interest rate so you can build up your equity faster, and pay your loan off sooner.
