"At 22 years old, Kramer considered herself a late bloomer when she immersed herself in the world of dance. Now, she's very likely one of the oldest choreographers in the world."

I Don't Do Bad Days.

NCAA Men of March: Thad Matta

"Coach Matta - he's been very, very courageous in his career. Especially the last six seven eight years. He's had some injuries. He's had some surgeries, He never used that as an excuse."

I think I have had four back surgeries dating back to when I was 15 yeas old. I used to be able to do a lot of things but nowadays not quite as much. There was nerve damage that goes down from the lower back down the leg that lifts the foot up, and mine no longer works going back over seven years now.

"When he's having a bad day - as far as pain or back or leg or anything that's going on - he fights through it. He tells the players all the time and he tells us as a coaching staff, "I DON'T DO BAD DAYS." And if you look at what he's been through - from a surgery from an injury from a toughness standpoint - we understand that term "we don't do bad days." So if he can do it, anyone can do it."

This is breathtaking! Who would have thought that pole dancing could be so emotional! 

A pole-dancing video so beautiful, my hair stood on end.

Andrea Garcia-Vargas

"Many people have trouble finding sexual empowerment.These women found it through pole dancing.These four women and 12 others have a spotlight in the short film "Why I Dance." The seven-minute video highlights how a group of women found themselves and became at home in their bodies after they began pole dancing. "Wait, whoa!" you might be saying. "I thought pole dancing was sexually degrading to women!"To which I say: A display of sexuality is not automatically degrading. When you watch these women, you will realize they OWN themselves. They are doing this for them.Like so….And what's also great about the video is the variety of bodies, skin colors, ages, and women in it. You don't have to look a certain way to feel comfortable in your sexuality. Some women may not find pole dancing empowering, and that's OK. But these women do, and why they do matters."

"Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that brownie. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more irritating situations."

Can't get a stand up desk? Get these aps to keep you active during the day!

By Corrie Pikul, SELF We don't need any more studies telling us that sitting is killing us. Yet despite our commitment to stand up once every 45 -- no, 20 -- minutes, we still end up getting so engrossed in our work (or whatever else happens to be on our screens) that our backside is practically numb before we remember to get off of it. To goose our good intentions, we tried three apps that promised to help us move more throughout the day. Here are our results. For the Minimalist: Stand Up! This free, streamlined break timer works perfectly in its simplicity. You pre-set the days and times you need a kick in the pants as well as the intervals. When it's time to stand, a pleasant-sounding bell dings and you either confirm that you're up, tap the equivalent of a snooze alarm or dismiss the alert. Then you sit back down and the app resumes placidly, counting down to your next alert. (You can also add a location-tracking service so that the app knows not to bother you when you're, say, out getting lunch and not at your desk). While it ate up a little more battery from my cell than normal, I wasn't far from a charger, but noted: you'll eventually need one if you're using this app. For the Overachiever: StandApp This nifty free app doesn't just remind you when it's time to stand up; it also provides a short video depicting an exercise like a trunk twist, desk-push-up or neck stretch you can do while standing. The instructional videos look like earnest outtakes from The Office, with buttoned-up corporate types in fluorescent-lit cubicles -- unintentionally inducing smirks and giggles, but hey it got us standing and moving. But while these exercises may look goofy, they feel great. Another thing we liked: The app encourages you to stay standing -- if not deskercising -- for a full five minutes, making it feel like true break during your otherwise busy day. For the Tech-Minded: Jawbone UP The customizable 'Idle Alert' is just one small part of the whole Jawbone package (bracelet plus app: $130 to $180), but it's something that sets this wearable fitness tracker apart from much of the competition. As with the other aforementioned apps, you pre-set your intervals (say, every 20 minutes) as well as the times you know you'll be tethered to your computer. When you've been sedentary for too long, your UP bracelet gently vibrates to remind you to stop and stand. Although subtle, the vibration is harder to ignore than a bell or a buzzer, and once you're up, you'll probably feel motivated to add a few steps toward your daily goal of 10,000. If you're already in the market for an activity tracker, this is a nice added feature.

Instead of thinking about how to get love, begin to offer it. If you give, you receive. There is no other way
