Los Angeles coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter confirmed to the Associated Press that the death was reported as suicide.<br /> <br /> Us Weekly reports that when Cornelius was in court in 2009 for divorce proceedings, he complained of "significant health issues."<br /> <br /> "Soul Train" began in 1970 in Chicago and aired in syndication from 1971 to March 2006, featuring primarily African-American musicians. It brought the best R&B, soul and later hip-hop acts to TV and had teenagers dance to them. It was one of the first shows to showcase African-Americans prominently, although the dance group was racially mixed.<br /> <br /> Cornelius was the first host and executive producer. As the smooth-talking host with a deep voice, Cornelius gave to hip young kids of the '70s what 'American Bandstand' creator Dick Clark offered to viewers in the early days of rock 'n' roll. <br /> <br /> As the popularity of 'Soul Train' grew, the show began to crossover into mainstream America and R&B artists soon broadened their fan base. That cemented its status as not just a hit TV program but one that helped shape pop culture.<br /> <br /> Stars such as Ike and Tina Turner, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, the Jackson 5, James Brown and Stevie Wonder appeared on the show.<br /> <br /> Watching the show became a weekly ritual in many households, especially African-American homes. Author Earl Ofari Hutchinson wrote in theGrio that "It was virtually a black household ritual to do one of two things when Saturday rolled around and it was Soul Train time. One was to sway, swoon, and sing the lyrics belted out by the parade of R&B legends and top hit artists ... The other ritual was to dance, or more likely stumble around the living room, trying to do our best imitation of the latest dance steps displayed by the show's perpetual motion gyrating couples."<br /> <br /> <br /> Popular features on the show included the "Soul Train Line," where individual dancers showed off their moves between two lines of people, and the "Soul Train Scramble Board," where dancers unscrambled letters that spelled the name of that night's performer or a prominent African-American.<br /> <br /> The show began each episode by welcoming viewers to "the hippest trip in America" and closed by wishing them "love, peace and soul."<br /> <br /> Quincy Jones said that he was "deeply saddened" at the sudden passing of his friend, colleague and business partner. <br /> <br /> "Before MTV there was 'Soul Train,' that will be the great legacy of Don Cornelius," he said. "His contributions to television, music and our culture as a whole will never be matched."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

I admit it it. I am now a devoted fan of Lifetime Channel's "Dance Moms."<br /> If you ever get a chance to see it, I'll promise that you will be hooked as well.<br /> It is about a woman, Abby Lee, who runs a dance school for young girls .

is the birthday of Dr. King so I thought it would be good to check out his "I Have A Dream Speech" again. It is as revelent in 2012 as it was back in the '60's.<br /> Amen!<br /> <br /> <b>"I Have A Dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King<br /> <br /> I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."<br /> <br /> I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.<br /> <br /> I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.<br /> <br /> I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. <br /> <br /> I have a dream today!<br /> <br /> I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.<br /> <br /> I have a dream today!<br /> <br /> I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."<br /> This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.<br /> <br /> With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.<br /> <br /> And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:<br /> <br /> My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. <br /> <br /> Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, <br /> <br /> From every mountainside, let freedom ring! <br /> <br /> And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.<br /> <br /> And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. <br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.<br /> <br /> But not only that:<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.<br /> <br /> Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.<br /> <br /> From every mountainside, let freedom ring.<br /> <br /> And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:<br /> <br /> Free at last! Free at last!<br /> <br /> Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23006818-2881276754909014563?l=gregsenema.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0za7aOHFzJ_ZKL5GYNb3dltPrGk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0za7aOHFzJ_ZKL5GYNb3dltPrGk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0za7aOHFzJ_ZKL5GYNb3dltPrGk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/0za7aOHFzJ_ZKL5GYNb3dltPrGk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AnEnemaForMyBrain/~4/UbgSyny-ESU" height="1" width="1"/>Greg H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13882608273360938089noreply@blogger.com0http://gregsenema.blogspot.com/2012/01/its-martin-luther-king-daylet-us-dream.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23006818.post-48692212478296999632012-01-13T07:16:00.000-05:002012-01-13T07:16:48.935-05:002012-01-13T07:16:48.935-05:00I recently wrote a Letter To The Editor at our local paper about the state of our college basketball team.<br /> You know 'em, you love 'em, you can't live without 'em...The Louisville Cardinals!<br /> ...well I wrote about how I don't blame Peyton Siva for our prob;ems lke a lot of people are, rather I blame Coach Rick Pitino.<br /> Don't get me wrong...he has done some good things for our team and our city, but sometimes it is time to move on.<br /> He has gotten us to one Final Four...no championships.<br /> I sincerely think it is time for a change. and you can quote me on this.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23006818-4869221247829699963?l=gregsenema.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3mV71DC_ez1gT1jaikJNJhtWaZA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3mV71DC_ez1gT1jaikJNJhtWaZA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3mV71DC_ez1gT1jaikJNJhtWaZA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3mV71DC_ez1gT1jaikJNJhtWaZA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AnEnemaForMyBrain/~4/mOJqO_w3g5c" height="1" width="1"/>Greg H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13882608273360938089noreply@blogger.com0http://gregsenema.blogspot.com/2012/01/pitino.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23006818.post-45519261769992071022012-01-12T09:56:00.000-05:002012-01-12T09:56:32.074-05:002012-01-12T09:56:32.074-05:00Read in article in the January edition of Maxim magazine...<br /> (Yeah they do have articles in there (ahem))<br /> Anyhoo, it said that coffee in moderate amounts (three cups or less), is good for you.
