Forsaking all others! You got to be fucking kidding me right? You didn't think I actually meant it?
26 thoughts on "Wedding night with Black Cock"
this is fucking hot. please post more
OMG There is nothing like a white bride doing a Black man on her wedding night. I know as I had my first Balck man on my wedding night. Before we got married my then BF and I discussed my having sex with Balcks. We watched a lot of IR sex vids and were both horny from it.
On my wedding night my husband arranged to have a Black friend of his (whom I had the hots for) be waiting in our bridle suite at the hotel we were staying at.. Once in the suite my husband undressed me to my gareter belt, bra, thight hi hose and heels and led me to the bed room. There his Black friend was waiting for me.My husband said it was his wedding gift to me.
I wasted no time a nd went to my knees and sucked him off. The we had sex all night. I am still doing him and other Blacks and still married 5 yrs now.
Hi Joann, older white man here and just wanted to tell you that i think it is AWESOME that your husband gave you to a hung black guy on your wedding night and that you are still doing your friend AND other black guys. I LOVE seeing white slut girls eagerly sucking BBC and getting their married white pussy fucked good by black meat. As part of my wife's 20th birthday… I gave her to a black friend for him to USE as his whore as I watched and we LOVED it. I was lucky enough to also get to suck his superior black meat some and there is nothing more exciting than black cock. Wish we could exchange stories! I just think it is great what happened your wedding night Joann and just WISH I had been ther to watch.
Thanks….Steve in Tn
Hi Steve, Thanks for responding to my post. It is nice to know that others are reading and enjoying what I have to say and want to hear of my sexual experiences. I just found out that I am 6 weeks Black pregnant. I wanted this so bad. I am getting much support about my Black pregancy from family and friends. I like to ask one question: What do you think about castrating white men? We, my Black lover, my cuckold husband and I ahve discussed this and we are considering having hubby castrated.
did you let hubby fuck you on wedding night too or just your black lover?
you sound like a great wife wish you were mine
Happy married life… it gets better i m sure…
i think all white brides should be black breed, before the husband can have her back!!
i do also think all white women should be bred black, before white hubby is aloud to fuck her!!
He certainly was the Best Man!
Joann, well done , can i ask have they bred you yet?
Yes i have been breed as of this posting I am 6 weeks Balck pregnant.
I like to ask one question: What do you think about castrating white men? We, my Black lover, my cuckold husband and I ahve discussed this and we are considering having hubby castrated
i believe that is a good ideal,hubby will never put his white genes in no more white women…
I'm not sure if I'm more turned on by thinking that she's having this BBC with her new white husband's consent, or that she just married this guy and will be getting this BBC all the time.
i want to fuck you. give me your email address and location. i love you too much. you . you are so sweet .give me your email address.
I am a cuckold husband and I have been told by my wife's black Bull that my nuts WILL be taken soon. I am scared to death, but the thought is also hot as hell to me. I cannot explain it.
I have also talked to a black couple who are setting up somethiang very similar. White husbands are allowed to breed their wives ONCE, to keep the white women supply large enough for black men. Then husband is castrated and wife is bred black as many times as her bull wants.
Hot as Hell!
they need to take your nuts, before your able to have sex with her!!
i dream to see my sweet wife in suck a position…. my life would be complete,,,,,
Wow!!,i would love to see my wife get fuck by a huge black dick!,email me if you would like to fuck my wife!,she's very hot!.
Any black men out there,reply me with ur email if you want to give my wife her first black dick!,she's never been fuck by a black cock,she's actualy scared to fuck a black cock!,but i know she will one day.she tells me all the time when we are having sex that she want's to get fucked by a black cock!,let me tell you one thing she gets very wet when she thinks about a black cock,so please any black thug with a 10 inch dick email me ur number so i can reach you!,trust me you'll make her ur slut,i'll even pay you money to fuck her like a slut she is.
That just looks awsome great pictures taken .
Great pics. I will go as far as to say that white women should only be fucked by blackcock and be their breeders.
Seems more and more white wives and their black lovers are castrating the white husbands. Like to read stories where the black lovers tie up the white husband and let the white wife castrate him.
yes, it has happened to me three years ago! i don't miss them no more i have become weaker tho..i dont like that
I imagine by now you might have more black babies, I'm a older guy about 69 and I think its great that you gave yourself to a black stud on your wedding night. Good for you and keep it going, make sure you use the biggest guy you can find.. As for castrating white guys, I being a white guy think it should be done to all white guys espeicially small cock men. The bigger guys should be workers slaves and something all women could torment. Making there balls easy targets to take out women's frustrations on.
And the men being castrated the process should be really pain full, maybe lasting a few days.
as a castrated cuckold ,i love it when white women goes black …

The botched swearing-in of new President Barack Obama gets a do-over.
Both Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts contributed to Tuesday's "my bad''
In golf parlance, this re-take is called a "Mulligan.'
Any legal loop holes in claiming that Tuesday's deal wasn't official because of the verbal missteps have now been closed. Some media folks, however, are miffed because TV networks were invite to the re-do, and transparency is supposed to be a hallmark of the new Obama administration.

Body contouring after weight loss surgery helps remove fat and the remaining loose skin, it also provides firmness and elasticity to the skin. After patients undergo weight loss surgery, certain areas of their body may begin to droop and appear disfigured, covering the changes they achieved through weight loss. Fortunately, post-bariatric procedures can provide patients with the true appearance they desired from weight loss surgery, through several procedures that can lift and craft the bodies new figure. If you are dissatisfied with the results of your weight loss surgery, post-bariatric may be the answer for you.
The most common cosmetic procedures that patients undergo after weight loss surgery are:
- Neck Lift
- Facelift
- Arm Lift
- Breast Lift
- Tummy Tuck
- Butt and Thigh Lift
Body Lift for Post-Bariatric
Known as a body lift when combined together, you can pick and choose which procedures you would like to help achieve the look you desire. Post Bariatric procedures improves the shape and tone of your underlying tissue that supports fat and skin and removes excess sagging fat and skin.
Body Contouring for Post-Bariatric
Bariatric surgery is suitable for life-threatening obesity and provides dramatic amounts of weight loss. Extreme amounts of weight being lost at one time can cause several other types of aesthetic problems. Patients can be left with drooping, loose skin that has lost its elasticity and can no longer conform to the new body figure. The body may shrink, but the skin does not shrink to fit your new slim body.
To learn more about our Post-Bariatric procedure, please call us today to schedule a consultation. The true results you desire are just a few steps away!

Not Alzheimer's?
Our services are also for these related disorders.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine • Clinical Trials
RAGE Study
Researchers are participating in a nationwide study that
will test an experimental treatment, RAGE Inhibitor, to
target the source of Alzheimer's disease (AD). One of the
proteins that surround the amyloid plaques in AD patients,
called receptor for Advanced Glycation Endpoints (RAGE
for short) binds to amyloid and may promote nerve cell
damage. By inhibiting the RAGE protein, plaque formation
could be reduced. Volunteers will receive either active
study drug or placebo (inactive pill). All participants will
be monitored carefully at the research clinic throughout
the study. Participants are eligible to participate if they are
age 50 or older and have mild-to-moderate AD, have not
had any serious or unstable diseases within the past three
months, do not have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and have a reliable caregiver who can accompany them to all study
visits. For more detailed information please contact Tessa Lundquist at
212-659-8885 or firstname.lastname@example.com. MSSM GCO 08-0194
IRB approved thru 5/12/2009
A Home-Based Assessment (HBA) Study for Memory
Protection Research
We are seeking healthy volunteers, 75 or older, to participate
in a nationwide research study to examine methods
to evaluate memory and thinking skills from the home.
Currently, in order to participate in Alzheimer's disease
research studies, volunteers must visit a clinic to meet with
researchers. The Home-Based Assessment study will look
at three types of home evaluation methods — a telephone,
electronic kiosk or mail-in forms — to determine if there
may be a better way to gather study information and track
memory and thinking-related changes over time. Participants
will be assigned by chance to one of the three methods
and their memory and thinking skills will be evaluated
using their particular method monthly, quarterly or annually.
Participants will also have an in-person screening
evaluation visit that will include a physical and neurological
exam, a medical history, and some cognitive testing.
Participants will also be given a multi-vitamin to be taken
twice daily, as the study will examine how well the different
methods report pill-taking behavior. At the end of the
4-year study, participants will undergo a final in-person
evaluation. For more information, please contact
Jessica Egan at
Principal Investigator: Jane Martin,
Ph.D., MSSM IRB approved through 08/31/2009.
A Trial of a Nutritional Supplement in Alzheimer's
Disease (AD)
We are seeking patients with AD to participate in a research
study on an antioxidant formula containing resveratrol.
Some study participants will receive the formula and
some will receive a placebo (sugar pill). Participation in
the study includes memory testing, neurological exams,
and blood tests. Resveratrol may reduce brain cell
damage caused by harmful chemical byproducts. This
study is investigating if resveratrol can help the cognition
of AD patients. The study will be conducted over 12
months and is funded by the Alzheimer's Association.

The Development of NIC5-15 in the Treatment of
Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
We are seeking patients with AD to participate in this
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a
dietary supplement. This supplement has anti-diabetic
effects in people and has been shown to improve memory
in laboratory animals. It also reduces the production of
amyloid in test-tube conditions. Amyloid is the major
ingredient of the Alzheimer's plaques. The purpose of the study is to determine whether this product is safe
and effective in treating AD and what dose is best. This
natural product (called NIC5-15) is found in many foods,
including soy beans, and has been already approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a dietary
supplement. For more information, please contact Sirisha Nandipati

Age at Onset and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Very
Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
The overall aims of this project are to examine the role of
cardiovascular risk factors for cognitive decline and AD
in elderly men. A growing body of evidence indicates
that risk factors for cardiovascular disease also increase the
risk of developing both vascular dementia (VaD) and AD.
Most, but not all, of the evidence comes from research
that has studied predominantly women, especially among
the very old. In this project, we will conduct an extensive
CvRF assessment in an elderly male veteran sample,
recruited through the Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical
Center. Male veterans, 75 years old and older with no
memory problems and no history of stroke (TIAs and
miniokes are acceptable) may qualify to participate
in this research study which consists of comprehensive
interview including memory and thinking tasks, health
and medical histories and a blood draw (approximately 3
tablespoons). We will also look to follow-up every year.
For more information, contact our research coordinator at 718-367-5727.

Brain Tissue Donation Program
The goal of this program is to improve existing treatments
and to develop new treatments for AD, which is not
possible without the generosity and altruism of individuals
who partner with Mount Sinai by participating in our brain
donation program. Therefore, men and women, with and
without memory impairment are eligible to provide their
"intent" to consent for this program. There are several
benefits to participation and we have specially trained staff

After meets-and-greets with soap star Susan Lucci, slightly delayed ones with that Jersey Shore trio Ronnie, Sammi and Deena (Vinnie didn't get into the limo on time in New Jersey) and a free performance by Rock N' Roll Hall of Famer Stephen Stills Friday, it was down to business for the first red carpet, and then a ballroom dinner honoring television personality Regis Philbin, at Mohegan Sun's 15th Anniversary Celebration .
Red carpet highlights included "Cake Boss" BuddyValastro, whose wife, Lisa explained they had just come from a two -week vacation to Disney World with their four kids (including their newest, Carlos) and REALLY needed a weekend alone.
Other red carpet walkers included a hot pink sheath -clad, Tinsley Mortimer, who starred in the quickly cancelled reality show "High Society," and professional poker player Beth Shak. Shak was decked out in a black Herve Leger, off-the-shoulder sheath with cut-outs, and then there was handsome Vincent Piazza of the HBO "Sopranos-like" hit "Boardwalk Empire."
"That mobster genre does have appeal," said Piazzaabout the show featuring Prohibition Era politics and crime in Atlantic City.
Regis took a pass on the red carpet opting instead ot meet with select casino brass, including tribal chair Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum and CEO Mitchell Etess, and casino high rollers in a private suite, before lounging backstage while waiting for the show to begin.
"It's great, this is a beautiful place," said the 80-year-old "Reg" as he chatted with special guests behind the curtain. And as far as his replacement when he steps down from his popular morning show in four weeks?
"Let Kelly decide," he said referring to sidekick Kelly Ripa, who was MIA from her co-host's tribute.
It seemed a lot of people were missing. Video best wisheswere shown from former Philbin co-host Kathie Lee Gifford, longtime friends Larry King, Don Rickles and Joy Behar. Making live appearance were Lucci, who sang with Philbin, and David Letterman show head writer, Justin Stangel , who took some good-natured jabs at the honoree and his career. Also stopping by was Mary Murphy of "So You Think You Can Dance" Fame" who had never met Philbin before.
Philbin was the star, however, and didn't disappoint the audience, singing a selection of classic tunes, delivering a comic monologue and then performing a medley with wife, Joy.
Dessert at the surf-and-turf dinner included cake courtesy of Valastro, who created a huge one in the form of an edible television with a replica of Philbin perched on top. (Philbin and company never ate at the private dinner but reportedly went over to Mohegan's newest restaurant, Ballo, to dine after the show.)
After dinner, it was after-party time at Ultra 88 where the Jersey Shore trio (who, by the way, refused to sit in the same room for interviews) threw a party that was more public than VIP.
"Is there anyone famous here," screamed one twenty-something who had hopes of catching a glimpse of one of the reality show stars as the dance music blared in the very dark club. "You can't even see anything,"
The big event is tonight when Jennifer Lopez performsin between two red carpets and an evening that will be capped by an "After Party" At Ballo.
Rumored red carpet guests include "Glee's" Lea Michele, "My Name is Earl" star, Jaime Presley, singer/actor Nick Lachey and wife, Vanessa Minnillo, actor Jesse Metcalf, singer/actor Donnie Wahlberg, singer Maxwell and star of the new movie remake "Footloose," Kenny Wormald.

My desktop is running again, albeit with only one monitor until the other graphics card is installed.
Meanwhile, I've implemented my new folder division, as described in Computer Inventory, Part 1. While my computer was down, I had five days to look from a distance, instead of the usual myopia and map out on paper what I think is a better plan.
While I was gone for over a year helping the college get out of their problems I pretty well neglected my own. Coming back to my computer files, after deleting GBs of theirs that had infiltrated every nook and cranny, and having a look around it's been quite a shock to see the level of neglect and general disorder. At the same time I'm a little computer-weary and wouldn't mind spending the time I spend more realistically. I'm not getting any younger. And it's summertime.
Everything in My Documents (69,600 files, 5,201 folders, 124 GB) is now broken down into 12 main folders. I know, it started out being five but by the time the dust settled… That includes My Dropbox, My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. And there's also one called 0.Inbox which sits at the top of the list; the initial stop for anything incoming that's cleared out everyday.
There's a shortcut to each of these folders on my desktop. And that's all except for the Recycle Bin.
If you're one of those people who has shortcuts all over your desktop, wallpapered from one end to the other, it might be a better idea to keep them in the Quick Launch menu. I'm not acquainted with Windows 7 but, for sure, that applies to XP. Shortcuts all over your desktop have the psychological effect of making you feel overwhelmed. Argue this theory if you will.
The wisest thing I ever heard said about computers is this: "Do not ever sit down at your computer without a plan."
You know how this goes. You start with your email. Then you're surfing around the net and watching a video here and there. The next thing you know 6 hours have passed and you really haven't gotten a darn thing done. Worst of all, you may be unconscious of what this is doing to your body. You know, that thing that extends from the top of your head down to where your feet meet the ground.
So, the 12 shortcuts on my desktop represent the 12 main areas of my computer work. Maybe yours break down into 5 or 20? It doesn't take a genius to realize that I cannot work on all of it everyday. If I'm honest, I know I won't get through even a drop in the ocean of it in my lifetime. So, when I sit down I'm confronted with a choice. Door Number 1 or Door Number 2 or …? Do I want to spend an hour or two working in the ANCESTORS folder, or do I need to spend some time in PERSONAL? or on my WEBSITE? or cleaning up the riff-raff in PC TOOLS?
I have a to-do list in Lightning, a calendar add-on for Thunderbird. I've made a matching set of categories in there. I'm not a big fan of to-do lists because they have a way of taking off for the wild blue yonder. But sometimes they seem necessary.
Here comes the pile-driver. Having established a main folder system that makes sense to me, I've also made matching categories in EverNote 2, in Zotero, in my Firefox bookmarks and in KeePass. Everything is sorted into one of the 12 categories. Everywhere. OK, now we're cookin'!
So, no matter where I am on my computer, there's a laser-focus on my path. Like blinders on a horse. No side view.
Those of you who have already tried every organizational system known to man are probably laughing. Wish me luck. Here I go …

I know a lot are going to Anglesey abbey this weekend for the snowdrops, but if you are interested in hellebores, this promises to be good. I went last year, expecting a garden past its best as it was Autumn, and was amazed. i hope this early Spring opening is as good. Entrance is £5 all for charity, and there is good cakes and food in the cafe.
I would love to be there fidget.
Lots of plusses being in west Cornwall but so far from ashwoods and the rest.
There is a local breeder of hellebores opening her garden soon so will go there.
If you see a dark green hellebore I would value your opinion on it. I'm very sceptical that there is a dark green but if so I will grab it.
Enjoy your visit........sooooooo envious
Verdun, a quick zip up the M5 in your new car, will be great. and there is the added attraction of large portions of cake.
I'm not keen on green flowers, they look too much like foliage to me.
Love to, but won't be able to
I don't live near Ashwood nurseries (John's Garden), being in Merseyside but i've just seen the pics on website and it will certainly be a lovely day out for me this year.
Sept 2013 open day
A grassy bit for verdun.
My parents live close to Ashwood Nurseries which is a lovely small nursery. Their collection of Hellebores is great. I would love to visit the garden. The cakes in the café are far too sweet. Even my wife thinks they are too sweet and she's got a sweet tooth!
Isn't that the point of cakes?
The garden is open this Saturday, Scott. See you there.
Nice pics fidget. Appreciate the grasses
There's sweet and too sweet. I will let my parents know as I'll not be able to get to the garden on Saturday. My parents have been on a previous occasion and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
I'm back. The rain almost held off, but being in a big polytunnel with a howling gale going on was weird to say the least. Both car parks full, so I was expecting lots of people in the garden, but by the time we got there, there was just me and mum,and a party of germans on a circular tour. We had a look around the gardens, trying not to squelch on the grass too much. There were lots of big snowdrops (sam arnott?), big witch hazels in flower (varying colours) eranthis, cyclamen,iris, and of course, hellebores. The grasses were standing up well, considering the lousy weather we are having.
There was a big polytunnel open which houses the main stock of hellebores, as well as the normal sales areas. So then we headed for the cafe, which is when we discovered where everyone was. it was heaving. having fortified ourselves, I got a trolley. This is where it got bad (for my purse). I couldn't decide which of the glorious specimens to have. I settled on six and a book.I took some photos of green ones for Verdun, but there is not a really deep green.
Well, sounds like you had a good day fidget.
No, I doubt if there is a good true dark green hellebore.
Green ones for verdun.
What I bought.
They are lovely Fidget
What I didn't buy. (mortgage people not lending)
Thats apart from the slate grey/blackones. the deep purply red ones, yellow single, yellow,spotted, yellow double. ... and I totally ignored the white ones.
They are also beautiful Fidget Darn those banks

PI3K-Targeting Agents May Help Overcome Resistance in Breast Cancer Treatment
Published Online: Friday, December 20, 2013
Sara Hurvitz, MD
Director, Hematology/Oncology Breast Cancer Program
Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine
UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Los Angeles, CA
1. Please describe your research as it relates to PI3K signaling.Multiple inhibitors of the PI3K pathway currently are in preclinical and clinical development. We have had the opportunity to evaluate several of these inhibitors in our laboratory, where we have tested their in vitro activity utilizing our cell line panels (which include over 50 breast cancer cell lines). This in vitro work allows us to gauge whether particular subtypes of breast cancer respond differentially to inhibition of the PI3K pathway, whether combinations of PI3K inhibitors with other targeted agents are synergistic, and whether there are any biomarkers that may predict response to these therapies.
In addition, tumor-bearing mouse models are used to evaluate the effectiveness of these therapies among the breast cancer subtypes. As an example, Neil O'Brien, PhD, in our lab evaluated the activity of several inhibitors of the PI3K pathway in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive, trastuzumab-resistant tumors using xenograft models and demonstrated that inhibiting PI3K in combination with HER2-inhibition overcomes trastuzumab resistance independent of feedback activation of Akt (O'Brien NA et al. Cancer Res. 2012;72[24 suppl 3; abstr P4-08-01]; manuscript submitted). This type of preclinical work done by our lab and many others is critically important since it leads to the rational design of clinical trials in the appropriate patient populations to evaluate these agents.
I am interested in evaluating PI3K inhibitors in combination with other biologically targeted agents. While clinical trials are already under way (and some have been reported) that evaluate the activity of combined PI3K-pathway inhibitors with endocrine therapy or HER2-targeted agents, I am particularly intrigued by the potential activity of PI3K inhibitors in combination with cyclin D kinase (CDK) inhibitors or PARP-inhibitors based on promising preclinical activity observed in certain breast cancer subtypes.
2. What is the most exciting recent development in PI3K pathway targeting?One of the major challenges to improving the long-term outcomes of patients with breast cancer is treatment resistance. The PI3K pathway is frequently altered in breast cancers and has been implicated in the development of resistance to hormonal approaches and anti-HER2 therapies. The potential for mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) blockade in combination with antiestrogen therapy to reverse resistance to endocrine therapy has already been validated in the BOLERO-2 study in which everolimus was combined with exemestane and shown to significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) for postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive aromatase inhibitor-pretreated metastatic disease, compared with exemestane alone.
Similarly, in the BOLERO-3 study, the addition of everolimus to chemotherapy and trastuzumab improved PFS in heavily pretreated HER2-positive metastatic disease, again supporting the hypothesis that inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/ mTOR pathway can reverse treatment resistance.
An exciting possibility is that some PI3K pathway inhibitors appear to cross the blood-brain barrier. As such, they may be promising in the prevention or treatment of brain and leptomeningeal metastases. In addition, new combinations of PI3K pathway inhibitors with other targeted therapies (such as PARP-inhibitors or CDK4/6 inhibitors) may provide synergistic benefit based on preclinical studies. The potential role of PI3K pathway inhibition in these settings remains to be validated clinically.
3. What are the relative merits of pan-isoforms versus isoform-specific PI3K inhibitors?At this point, it is unclear whether pan-isoform or isoform- selective inhibitors will be associated with a better therapeutic index (ie, efficacy-to-safety ratio). If we were able to identify which, if any, part of the PI3K pathway was driving the growth and survival of a particular tumor, it would be theoretically possible to choose the best inhibitor for that tumor.

With cases of Whooping Cough on the rise here in Colorado, local health leaders are urging people to get vaccinated.
The Colorado Springs fire department and health leaders are teaming up, holding free clinics to get the vaccine out.
Their goal is to immunize 1,000 people by the time they're done, in order to stop the fast spreading whooping cough infection in El Paso County.
Their target group is those who care for children, whether they are licensed child care givers or home child care givers.
The first of four clinics was held Saturday, not only giving out TDAP immunizations for Whooping Cough but also the flu.
By making sure adults are vaccinated, they hope to prevent the spread to the most vulnerable in our communities, our children.
While many of the cases occur in adults, infants suffer the most severe consequences of whooping cough including prolonged illness, hospitalization, and even death.
Whooping Cough is a bacterial infection that easily spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
The illness begins with sneezing, a runny nose, mild cough and becomes more severe during the first week or two. The cough could last for a couple of months.
Health experts say it's especially important to get vaccinated this year, as we've already seen a rise of cases with 849 so far in Colorado; 34 in El Paso county.
As we reported Monday, two cases were confirmed at Air Academy High School.
The three upcoming clinics will be held at the Colorado Springs Fire Department Headquarters at 375 Printers Parkway.
They are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the following dates: October 6, November 10, and December 8.

The Voice Heard 'Round the World
Published in TC Today - Volume 33, No. 2
He's not a professional singer, but over the past 30 years, Robert Taylor (Ed.D., 1970), Associate Professor of Computing and Education at Teachers College, has performed more than 100 times. His bookings have ranged from
Kampala, Uganda, to Bratislava, Slovakia, including no fewer than eight appearances at TC convocation ceremonies during the 1980s and 1990s, singing the invocation in . Riverside Church
"People would invite me to a conference on computing and education and would find out that I could sing, and they'd say, 'You want to sing in the cathedral on Sunday?' So we'd have to discuss what I could sing," says Taylor, a TC alumnus who has been on the faculty since 1975. "Then I just started taking music with me because people always wanted me to sing."
A bass-baritone,
Taylor began developing his voice as a theology student at the . Before coming to TC as a doctoral student in the 1960s, he sang with a local orchestra in University of Chicago Africa while he was there for a four-year stint teaching mathematics. His specialties are liturgical music and opera. (His B.A. is in physics.)
In addition to singing,
also draws and has documented many of his travels with sketches he has collected on his Web site (www.tc.edu/taylor). There are even renderings of TC colleagues past and present, including former TC Presidents Lawrence Cremin and Arthur Levine. Taylor
These days Taylor, who will retire from TC in June 2009, no longer travels nearly as much. He's busy now with his next major endeavor: posting recordings of his worldwide performances on his Web site. "Art, music, academia, international things, I've always loved all of it,"previous page
says. "I've bounced around and sung all over, and it was a lot of fun and people appreciated it." Taylor

Top Chef Duels Ep 5: David Burke vs Takashi Yagihashi
Top Chef Duels episode 5, a culinary egg-stravaganza
Top Chef Duels contestants David Burke and Takashia Yagihashi both competed on Top Chef Masters and are long-time friends who take the duel to a whole new level.
I'm a bit disappointed there isn't any real dramatic hook this week on Top Chef Duels. The chefs are bitter arch rivals, nor have they harmed one another during their appearance on Top Chef Masters. There's no beef, no name calling, and no poking of one another in the stew room, where's the drama we've come to expect from our reality shows?
I do love me some Top Chef Masters, there's nothing better than watching the big name established chefs become famous for the personalities and not their restaurants. Because of shows like Top Chef Duels and other cooking shows cooking in general has gained the attention of no only media, but the average everyday Joe. Before the Top Chef type shows hit the airwaves, I had no idea what geoduck was or that you could eat something that sounds absolutely disgusting.
Takashi challenges David with an ingredient for which he is well-known, the egg.
David challenges Takashi with a test based on crab that must be prepared three ways.
The Duel:
Top Chef Duels guest judge Andrew Zimmern offers up some of the most bizarre ingredients for their meal. Having to cook with unfamiliar products will push these Masters to their culinary limits.
